Your Choice, hot-stuff.
We've got a lion, and you don't....� ha.
In case you haven't guessed, this month's theme is "Lions."� Rowr.�
*Rei and Celeste come running up the temple steps with Phoebe at their heels*
Celeste
:� Kira!
Rei
: Come back!
*as they reach the top, they see Lita, Amy, Mina, and Artemis sitting on the patio-thingy-hey*

Mina
:� Hi, girls.� What's up?
Rei
(panting):� After the bell rang . . . Kira bolted out of class . . . without even waiting for us.
Celeste
:� Yeah.� She was bummed all day.
Lita
:� Why?
Rei
:� Who knows?
*Serena and Luna come running up the stairs*

Serena
:� Hey, guys!� I'm actually close to being on time for once!
Luna
:� I told you to head to the meeting directly after school, but you thought it was more important to gab with Molly for ten minutes.
Amy
:� Oh, stop it you two.� You'll have plenty of time for that later.� Right now we have to do something about Kira.
Serena
:� Why?� What's wrong?
Artemis
:� She's upset and probably hiding somewhere...
Rei
:� She could be anywhere, though.� You know her...
Lita
: So� let's go!� *runs off in one direction*
Mina
:� Lita, wait!� *Mina and Artemis follow*
Amy
(turning to Serena):� I'll go this way, while you and Luna go that way.
Serena
:� Okay.� Hey Kira!� Come out, come out wherever you are!!!�
*Amy walks in one direction and Serena and Luna walk in another*

Rei
(turning to Celeste):� I'll check around back.� *runs around the temple*
Phoebe
:� Okay, we're finally alone.� Now where is she hiding, why, and how can we console her?
Celeste
:� Since when do you care this much about Kira?
Phoebe
:� Think about it, Celeste.� Do you know how much glory I could get for this?
Celeste
:� I should have known...
������������������������������������������������
*��������� *��������� *
Mina
:� Now where would she be hiding?� *looks up a tree*
Lita
(climbing to the roof):� I haven't the slightest id-----� Phelan?
Phelan
:� Good afternoon, Lita.
Lita
:� What are you doing up here?!?
Phelan
:� Observing the beautiful view from atop the Cherry Hill Temple.� It's quite nice.� You should come up here more often.
Artemis
(jumping to the roof):� Is Kira up here?
Grandpa
:� Hello young man!� *pops up out of nowhere*
Artemis
:� MEEEOOOOOWWW!!!� *almost falls off the roof*
Phelan
:� *voice cracks*� Uh . . . hi.
Grandpa
:� So you like the view up here too?� I like to sit up here and watch the stars at night.� I fell off the roof once!� My grandaughter, Rei, was really worried about me.� She worries too much.� *Phelan's face is twitching this whole time, folks*� Do you know her?� She's the pretty girl that works here.� Hey!� You two should go on a date!� She hasn't had a date in months!
����������������������������������������������������
*�������� *�������� *
Serena
:� Kira!� Oh, where are you?� I'm tired, Luna.� *plops down next to a tree*
Luna
:� Get up, Lazy-bones!� You're not going to find Kira by just sitting there.� You have to get up and look!� I can just imagine Phoebe now...
*image of Phoebe pops up*

Phoebe
:� Ha ha ha ha ha!� And you call her the Champion of Justice?� She's so lazy!� Ha!� She's a failure!� Ha ha ha ha!� You failed!� Ha ha ha ha!
*fades away*

Serena
:� Oh, Luna.� You're over-reacting.� She'd never be that mean to you....
Luna
:� Oh, really?
Serena
:� Yeah, really.� Now c'mon.� Let's go find Kira.� Kira!!!� Where are you?
����������������������������������������������������
*�������� *�������� *
*Amy is looking behind a bush, in the shed, behind the gate...*

Amy
:� It's like playing hide-and-go-seek with a three year old...*sees Rei* Hi Rei!
Rei
*runs up to Amy*:� Hi, Amy.� Find Kira?
Amy
:� Not a trace.� Where could she be?
Rei
:� I don't know.� It seems like we've checked almost all of the temple grounds...
Amy
:� Rei...do you have any idea as to what upset her?� Did anyone insult her?� She may be crazy, but she's not stupid.
Rei
:� I don't think so.� Let's check with Celeste.� She knows Kira better than anyone.
����������������������������������������������������
*�������� *�������� *
*Celeste quietly walks into Kira's room with Phoebe right next to her*

Phoebe
:� Aha!� So she's her in her room!
A muffled voice coming from the box (that sounds vaguely like Kira)
:� Yeah, Pheebs, I'm a diabolical genius.
Celeste
:� Kira, you have everyone searching the temple grounds for you.
Phoebe
:� And you know how big it is!� And I found you!� In your face Luna!� Ha ha ha!
Kira
:� Ahh!� Big!� *the box beside Kira's bed starts to shake*
����������������������������������������������������
*�������� *�������� *
Grandpa
:� ...and then she stopped seeing him.� I don't know why.� And then Chad came along and I think those two would really hit it off!� *Atremis yawns, Lita continues twiddling her thumbs, Mina fiddles with some twigs, and Phelan sighs heavily*� But Rei is afraid to start a relationship with him, I think.� But you seem like a nice young man!� So how about it?
Phelan
:� Uh . . . um . . . well . . . you see . . . um . . .� *Chad appears on the ground next to Mina*
Chad
:� Grandpa!� Get off the roof!� You know what will happen if Rei finds out!�
*Rei and Amy appear*

Rei
:� Find out what, Chad.
Chad
:� Rei!� Oh!� Uh, hi.
Rei
*gritting her teeth*:� Spill it, Chad.
Chad
:� Well . . . you see . . . um . . . *Grandpa clambers down off the roof*
Grandpa
:� Hello Rei!� Have you met this nice young man?� *points to Phelan*
Chad
:� Hey, dude!� What's up?
Amy
:� Phelan?� What are you doing on the roof?
Lita
:� He's following Mina around.
Phelan
:� I'm not following her!
Grandpa
:� So Phelan's your name!
Lita
:� Uh, guys?� We're supposed to be looking for Kira, remember?
Chad
:� Kira?� Well, I saw Celeste talking to her box before I came out.
Rei
:� I should have known!� The box!� We had a field day today!� She hates open spaces!
Mina
:� Well, let's go!
*Serena and Luna appear*

Serena
:� We looked all over, and there's no sign of her.
Lita
:� Celeste found her already.
Luna
:� MEEEOOOOOWWW!?!?
Amy
:� Well, let's go see if we can help.
�������������������������������������������������
*������ *������ *
Celeste
:� C'mon, Kira.� Come out.
Kira
:� Why?
Celeste
:� 'Cause it's hard taliking to a box.
*Kira throws one of the flaps open*

Kira
:� Better?
Celeste
:� So what's wrong?
Kira
:� You know...field day.
Celeste
:� Oh.
Phoebe
:� So you were in a big area all day.� What's the big deal?
Kira
:� I was in a tiny bubble most of my life and the open spaces scare me!� *head pops out of the box*
Celeste
:� But Kira, I'll always be there for you.
� *a piano chord sounds out of nowhere*

Celeste
:� Yikes!
Phoebe
:� What the heck was that?
What the heck was that?� Find out next time in Galaxy Gossip #2 part 2:� Galaxy Gossip 2.5!
In case you were wondering, we've used a literary device called a cliffhanger!� Lions!
