Sailor Pi

Fighting fractions by moonlight
Challenging teachers by daylight
Reading Shakespeare at midnight
She is the one named Sailor Pi

She would never forget math operation
Or the rules of heat condensation
3.14 can save any situation
She is the one named Sailor Pi
She is the one
Sailor Pi!



"Bizzie!" Kenny called loudly, "Wherefore art thou Bizzie?" Kenny was very concerned about Bizzie-- it had been nearly an hour since she had run away. He was also now worried about his own safety as he was getting further and further back into Queen Beryl's enchanted forrest.

"You jest at scars that never felt a wound," came a high-pitched voice from above.

Tree"Hmm, I suppose I'll have to prick love for pricking and..." Kenny paused as he vigorously shook the nearby trees with his incredible strength. After he shook the third tree, Bizzie came tumbling down and landed in the grass. "...beat love down," Kenny finished. He laughed at Bizzie's anguished expression. "Why, Bizzie, art thou MAD?"

"Not mad," she sighed, "But bound more than a mad woman is." Kenny grinned and sat down next to her. "I know what's bothering you Bizzie."

"No you don't, you could never comprehend what has tormented me thus."

"Yes I could. I grew up in South Park, Colorado where I hardly spoke to anyone. When I did, well..." He blushed.

"Well, what?"

South Park "My best friends, if you could call them that, had been cursing since they were in their diapers. I followed their example even though I knew it was wrong, and pretty soon I was saying things that no one should ever hear. I had to wear this hood over my head so that my voice was completely muffled, but because of the context and my tone of voice, you could pretty much figure out what I meant. I never, ever want to go back there again." "So you didn't really fit in either?"

"Not really, I just sort of tagged along with Eric, Kyle, and Stan. The kids were so mean, as a joke they pretended I was dead nearly every single day."

"When did you find out that you were an Element?"

"When I was 10, my parents sent me to boarding school to learn how to behave. There, I met Thistle. One day, I was just sitting outside. Something came over me and I just kind of became one with the ground. I told Thistle about it and she told me that she could become one with water. We figured we must be brother and sister, and so ever since we have been in search of our other brothers Wind and Fire."

"That's fascinating," said Bizzie.

"Now, tell me about yourself, Bizzie."

"Well, one summer night I was trying to teach myself equations for hyperbolas when suddenly this monster appears. My insticnt was to drive it off with all the digits of pi that I know, but of course that didn't work. By chance I happened to say the words to make me transform, and so I did."

"Bizzie, you aren't supposed to know about hyperbolas until next year!"

"I know, but I had a lot of time on my hands. It's not as if I have any real friends or a--"

"Real life," they said at the same time.

"Come on," he said, helping Bizzie up, "Let's go back. Now that I'm not a prisoner anymore, I guess I can go to your school. I have nowhere else to go now."

"That would be--" Suddenly, Bizzie's face went pale. Her eyes got extremely wide and she appeared to be in a complete state of shock.

"What is it?" Kenny asked, not sure if he wanted to know. Very slowly, he turned his head and screamed.
