Ch. 2: The Mission
Sue slunked to school the next day, looking totally drugged out. She had a silly smile on her face and still retained red eyes. As she passed by, her peers looked at her like she was odd.
She made it to her locker and sluggishly turned to knob to put in the combination. her friends came over and looked at her with unease.
"Uh, hi Sue," said Blythe awkwardly.
Sue turned to her and she barely recognized her through her distorted vision.
"Oh, hi Blythe," siad Sue goofily while swaying back and forth.
"Are you feeling okay?" asked Jasper.
Sue breathed in and sighed contently before saying, "yeah, why?"
"Well," said an unsure Youngmee, "You're acting kind of off."
"Off? Me?' said Sue in a silly manner, "Why; perish the thought."
"Well, you are doing a somewhat creepy swaying motion," said Youngmee.
"And your eyes are pink," said Jasper.
"And you're uncharacteristically lazy in opening your locker." finished Blythe.
"Seriously, dudes," said Sue, much to the surprise of her friends, "I'm ok, this means nothing. Now I have to get into my locker."
The bewildered friends just shrugged and left.
"When did she started calling us, 'dudes'?"
"I don't know," said Youngmee.
"Too bad we don't have somebody who can spy on Sue to see what's wrong with her." said Jasper.
Upon hearing that, Blythe gave a look of wonder and said, "Hmm,"
"Wait, wait, wait, you want us to do what?" said Russel as he and the pets stood in front of Blythe.
"Use the hamster tubes to go to Sue's house. Because, like I said, she was acting very veird today and I want to know why." said Blythe.
"Blythe," said Sunil, "While Sue probably respects your concern, I don't think she'll like having her privacy invaded."
"I don't wanna invade her privacy Sunil," said Blythe, "But I can't spend the rest of my time wondering if something's wrong. I need to know why."
The pets looked at each other before sighing.
"Ok, Blythe," said Zoe.
"I your'e so worried for your friend, then we'll do it." said Pepper.
"Like there's any doubt we would do the same for each other." said Vinnie.
"Vinnie's right." said Penny Ling.
"Besides, what do we have to lose?" Said Minka.
"Thank you, guys." said Blythe.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" asked Pepper, "We have a friend to check on!"
The pets cheered as they went into the hamster tubes as Blythe shouted at them.
"BE CAREFUL!"
