Fighting fractions by moonlight
Challenging teachers by daylight
Reading Shakespeare at midnight
She is the one named Sailor Pi
She would never forget a math operation
Or the rules of heat condensation
Pi is the symbol for a new generation
She is the one named Sailor Pi
She is the one named Sailor Pi
She is the one
Sailor Pi!
"How long 'till next year?" Jeffy asked Hanni.
"Three and a half months."
"Sweet!"
"But, wait, when you say 'next year,' are you referring to June, September, or January?"
"I don't know, which did you think I meant?"
"I don't know."
"You know, Hanni, there are only 525,600 minutes in a year, and, well, I was just thinking, how do you measure them?"
"I don't know! Jeffy, is this another one of your random philosophical questions?"
"Could be. Say Hanni, have you ever seen a show called He-man?"
"No, I don't think I have."
"They're putting it back on Cartoon Network for the first time in 8 years! You should watch it tonight."
"I don't know," Hanni said skeptically, "It kind of sounds like a guys' show."
"But it's really not!" They had approached the school and found Arpi and Kenny talking in front of the entrance. "You guys ever watch He-man?" he asked them.
"Sure, all the time when I was younger," said Kenny.
"He-man??" asked Arpiana, "How sexist!"
"By the power of Grayskull!" exclaimed Jeffy.
"I have the power!" Kenny chimed in.
"THIS is what's wrong with our society," Arpi said to Hanni.
"Hey guys," said Bizzie as she approached them.
"Hi, Lizanya," taunted Jeffy.
"Shut up."
"That is sooooo ten days ago," commented Kenny.
"Hey Biz, what was YOUR favorite cartoon when you were growing up?" asked Hanni.
"I didn't really have one," she replied, "I never watched very much television."
"Weirdo," said Jeffy.
"Hey, why isn't anyone going inside?"
"Who knows, let's go in." The five of them walked up to the door to the cafeteria to find the door to be locked.
"Oh no!" cried Arpi.
"Where's the rest of the school?" asked Bizzie, "It is 8:25 already."
"I don't know, but if we can't get in, we'll get late study!" Just then, Mark and Roger teleported in.
"I've got some bad news," Mark said, "They've padlocked the door."
"Bolted plywood padlocked with a chain," Roger elaborated.
"We noticed," said Jeffy, "So how are we going to get in?"
"We're going to have a 'breaking back into school party' of course!" Mark said.
"Um, okay..."
"Who's got the chips?" asked Bizzie.
"This shouldn't be a party," Kenny reasoned, "We should just concentrate on getting the lock off before homeroom. Does anyone have any lock breaking skills?"
"I was a Girl Scout once..." Jeffy pointed and laughed at Bizzie.
"Hey, I was a Brownie!" defended Hanni, "We did lots of cool stuff. In fact..." Hanni removed a bobby pin from her purse.
"Great idea, Hanni!" exclaimed Arpi.
"Yeah!" said Bizzie, "But I don't think that everyone would appreciate you curling your hair at a time like this."
"NO, BIZZIE!" they all yelled at once.
"Told you so," she told Arpiana. Jeffy grabbed the bobby pin from Hanni and attempted to open the lock. It wouldn't budge.
"This is a total dead end," said Roger.
"This would be a good thing to get on film, Mark," Hanni told him.
"I have no juice in my battery," he said, remorsefully, "I used it all up at my family's Memorial Day party yesterday." Arpi's eyes widened.
"What did you say?"
"I said, 'I have no juice in my--"
"WE DON'T HAVE SCHOOL TODAY!" Arpi screamed. The rest stared at her.
"Arpi, it's Monday," Kenny said, "Of course we have school."
"IT'S MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND! THERE'S NO SCHOOL!"
"Are you sure?" asked Hanni.
"Why else wouldn't there be anyone here?"
"Well, it could be because everyone's already in homeroom," Jeffy said.
"But there aren't any cars in the parking lot!"
"So, maybe the teachers and seniors decided to park in the back of the school instead."
"DON'T YOU GET IT? WE'VE BEEN STANDING HERE FOR THE PAST THREE AND A HALF MINUTES FOR NOTHING!"
"Arpi, that's impossible!" exclaimed Bizzie.
"Well, I'm going home." Without another word, Arpi teleported.
"So," Mark said, "You guys still in the mood for a 'breaking back into school party'?"
"Sure!" exclaimed Kenny.
"Let's all go get chips!"
"And soda!"
"And coffe!"
"And ice cream!"
"And more bobby pins!"
"Happy Breaking Back into School, everyone!"
