Upon... something?

27

I was flying around the house at around midday, when a small ping made me hover midair. I looked to the door. It slid open and the spaghettis came in with surprised looks.

I gasped. "Liki!"

He quickly dragged his siblings in and the door closed behind them. I twirled around excitedly and let off some sparks. I've never been this happy to see you before!

Without thinking I flew into his face and stayed there. He made a grossed out flinch and pried me off. I giggled and crawled onto his spaghetti hair. The signature element of Kymari.

He laughed. "Why hello there! I never expected you to be up today!"

"Well... I am! Surprise!" I mewed, not allowing him to understand me.

Seika flew to Cleo, chittering something. The sister looked at us and said. "So Katy, you got up on your own today?"

I nodded towards her. "Yeah, it was sudden. By the way, how long have you had our intelligence suspicion?"

"Ever since I met you, actually." Liki said as he moved to the couch and leaned against its side. "It's called having too many thoughts and theories. I don't mind it but it often makes my emotion hiding hard."

"Oh." I hopped down onto his lap and looked at him. "Seika told me about the Clica kidnapping a slime cat... how have you all been doing with it in the meeting?"

"We've been consulting with the rogues' superiors on the best method to intercept them." Indi broke into the conversation. "The only problem is... the rogues disabled their tracking device so we have no idea where they are."

"They could be anywhere?!" I gasped, a small spark jittering across my body and out of existence. "Do you know their last known location?"

He shook his head. Cleo pointed at me. "No, but we do have an idea... if you don't mind your secret being out to the elders and Clica superiors." She said. "If you can ask around your people's home and figure out the exact slime cat that went missing, then communicate with them on their location and situation, then we could be getting somewhere..."

I considered this. Yes, we would be giving away our biggest secret, but if we can save that innocent slime cat from the ominous future, then it's worth it. Luckily this is to forces that keep their lips sealed.

I sighed, then said. "I'll do it. And I can ask my friends without having to go there physically."

Seika smiled brightly, then flew and landed in front of me. "What are you waiting for? You can do it now!"

"Ok ok I'll get there..." I shushed her, then focused on my friends. "Lucy! Peter! Bailey! Anyone there?"

Lucy responded in a calm voice, but I got feelings of worry. "Katy! Are you ok? We kept trying to call you but you wouldn't respond!"

"I'm ok guys. I just want to know who went missing, so I can tell the Kymari." I explained. "So we can find them."

"Oh, well..." she went silent for awhile. Then she said. "It was Midnight and his sister."

"Two went missing?!" I blurted.

"Wait, who two?!?" Seika asked quickly.

"Midnight and Faith!" I responded, then focused back on Lucy. "Can you contact them?"

She was silent again. I got more worry and anxiety from her.

And then she vanished completely.

I sighed heavily, drooping and instinctively going into spread form. No matter how hard I tried, my mind voice bounced back to me. "She logged off! I can't get to her!"

"How rude!" Seika commented.

"Hey you do realize that we can't understand you when you're speaking your own language." Cleo reminded us.

Heather flew and landed on Indi's shoulder, watching us closely. I looked towards them. "Sorry, the person I was talking to suddenly decided to stop talking to me."

"Ok I guess that makes sense." Indi said plainly. Then he said. "Can you talk to the kidnapped slime cats?"

"Lemme try..." I focused on Midnight, mainly, because I knew him better. "Midnight! It's me, Katy!"

"Oh, hi Katy." He responded, his voice tired and faint.

Or maybe it was because he was really far away.

"Do you know where you are?" I asked, digging my fingers into Liki's pants. "Everyone's worried about you! Are you ok?"

It took awhile, maybe a few long seconds, but he responded. "I'm fine. The captain said that we're going to Scotland."

"Scotland?!?" I blurted into everyone's minds at once.

As a result, I got too many messages and crashed.
