Chapter 8

"Meet your new secretaries. They'll listen to me. And if each one goes to one interview for us we'll be set. Plus if we send our "secretary" to the company's interviews then the companies will want us even more, because they'll think that we are very professional." The engineers gave in, agreeing that it was the only solution. When the four of them walked from building D to building E with their huge folders full of papers the girls crowded around them cheering and waving. They had food out there, and tents now! It was amazing. Like a festival, that went on for twenty-four hours a day. Whenever the two boys walked out girls crowded around them, cheering, singing, dancing, trying to get their autographs, and other crazy things. The Head Instructor and other Instructors had tried to get rid of them, but they always found a way of coming back. Now Mitsuhiro planned to do the most ultimate, craziest thing that he had ever done.

"Wait five minutes, then we'll go outside, and start the rally." said Mitsuhiro, who had been intensely working on his computer for hours, building the perfect robot. He downloaded the designing program from his old roommate's website. Now he was just about finished. He clicked the save button one last time, exited the program, then E-mailed the two engineers and gave them detailed instructions on how to build the robots and what size each piece should be down to the very last screw and bolt. He then told them which half they would be doing. Kaleb walked towards their refrigerator, pulled out a can of rootbeer from the bottom and opened the top. It popped open and bubbled with a frothy fragrance floating through the air. Mitsuhiro drew back the curtains, huge lanterns and torches of all kinds from the girl's tents and beds and camps illuminated the night air, and brightened the night sky above the campus. Amongst all the talking and chattering, singing, dancing, and overall fooling around there came one girls loud shrieking scream
"Look! There he is! It's Mitsuhiro!" suddenly all music stopped, all singing stopped, and dancing stopped, all talking ceased. It was perfectly quiet, as more than one-thousand girl's heads turned, and looked up at the pilot that stood on the window sill.
"Oh my god! He's going to commit suicide! Save him! Save him!" came desperate cries from the crowd. But he steadied himself, and assured them that there was nothing wrong. Kaleb's head poked out, and cheering arose. He reached out an arm, and found himself being pulled up and out of the window by the other boy. They climbed up to the roof, Mitsuhiro much more calm than the American. Kaleb found he was extremely nervous about the whole thing, and really didn't want to go, but Mitsuhiro insisted, saying that only half the girls would listen to him, Kaleb had to be there for all their supporters to agree to their terms.

The two boys stood up on Building D's roof, while the crowds below gathered all around the front of the building, looking up at the two boys. They all cheered wildly, and then broke into silence as Mitsuhiro raised a hand to silence them. The girls sat eagerly.
"Now, I may not be the best at speeches, but we are both very grateful that you all are here today, because a time has come when we need your help! Now, you may not all be as loyal and dedicated as others, so if you don't wish to help us, then please move away because what I am about to tell you has never ever been attempted before! We are going to work behind the entire country's back! We are going to work behind every single piloting, space, electronic, and engineering company! Now, they have given the two of us, and the top two engineers a very difficult task. To go to each of these companies and take an interview. Now do you think we could possibly read and phone up and go to all of these interviews?" Mitsuhiro spoke, loudly and clearly, motioning to the papers.
"No!" cheered the audience of girls as one. Nobody stepped back when Mitsuhiro said those who didn't wish to help step back.
"I sent the two engineers the design, and they are currently working for us to build a robot which will work all day long sending four messages to each company, telling them that we will be interviewed at exactly 1:00 Am on Saturday. That is two days from now. Now I want you all to get into pairs of two. That way we will have one copy of the phone number of the companies so that the robot can phone them, and the other copy will go to you guys so you can do the interviews. Now, I'm going to drop these two files. One is mine, one is one of the engineers. Some of the companies may be the same, so there may be two of you at each company, representing us, or the engineers, or there may be four of you representing all of us. Remember, don't go in at the exact same time! Go in one after the other, the companies should have a list. Now remember, with your partner read the sheet carefully, it will clearly be marked "Engineer" or "Pilot" at the top. Then just choose your favorite one of the four of us, tell the company that you are our secretaries or that you represent us, and then make up a bunch of stuff about how smart we are, and all the stuff we have achieved. In fact, if you really are our loyal fans, as you claim to be, then I'm sure than most of you know what we've done. For the information on the engineers just e-mail them. Their e-mails are also conveniently written on the top of the engineer's sheets that the company wants to interview. I hope this isn't too much trouble. And as a reward cone at 2:00 Am on Saturday next week. If your interview goes well, and we are accepted to the company you can put your name in a hat, and we will raffle out three prizes. The third prize is my hat which I am wearing right now, the second is Kaleb's jacket which he is wearing, and the grand prize is to spend all of next Sunday with one of us! The grand prize will be given to the best partner team." the girls cheered, and Mitsuhiro and Kaleb opened the folders, as hundreds of colored papers of blue, red, pink, yellow, white, orange, green, purple, violet, mauve, gray, scarlet, black, aqua-marine, and tons of other colored pieces floated down to the cheering girls, they wrestled over the papers, making sure that none got bent! They were valuable, as each one gave them a chance to the grand prize! To actually spend an entire Sunday with one or both of the top boy pilots in the best school in the entire country!

Meanwhile Mitsuhiro's old roommate was had just received the document and was working on it when he heard strange noises like a primitive festival of some kind. He was oblivious to the girls before, but this noise made him think that something was wrong in space, very wrong. He ran to the window, and looked through his telescope. Many strange meteors were moving around in the sky! Something was very wrong- no! Wait! He had angled it incorrectly. Those were torches! What was Mitsuhiro doing? He sighed, and deciding to take a break from building the robot, since he needed some more materials that he could only get from the school, which Mitsuhiro would have to take, borrow, or steal from the school. Like an engine for instance, it was very high-powered, and would be hard to get, nearly impossible at a store. There were even some illegal materials, that had been banned from their country a while ago. It was the only way to make the robot exactly the way Mitsuhiro wanted. So the engineer took a break, and gaze up at the stars. How truly beautiful those glowing masses were. But wait! What was that! There was something, very distant, that was heading their way! It was something he had never seen before! Some kind of an alien craft? No! As it moved closer he spotted three letters, I.P.M.!
