The sun was peeking over the horizon indicating a new day in Acmesteam. It was a beautiful morning at the beginning of autumn in the city and at this time some of its inhabitants were still in their beds in the arms of morpheus, others were preparing for work or school, the latter was the case of the Runners since the The first-born son of the family began college today.

The Runner family owned the famous "Road Runner Companies", companies that were known to be among the best in the steam technology business. The family consisted of: The father, Ralph Runner, a 42-year-old roadrunner, he had green eyes with a touch of blue, a smile that inspired confidence and security, the body feathers were dark purple but his head and tail They were of a pale tone, an attractive face for someone of his age, a somewhat robust complexion due to his belly; The mother, Harriet Runner, a 39-year-old roadrunner, she was a slim woman but with attractive curves, the feathers of her body were purple with the feathers of the head of a beautiful almost golden blonde that she almost always wore tied in a bun, eyes green lagoon, a beautiful and sweet face; The eldest son, Rev Runner, a roadrunner of 18, a really attractive young man with a thin complexion but with a strong and slim lower body, the feathers on his body were electric blue like his predecessors on the part of his father, the feathers on his head and those of his tail were the same purple as that of his father's body, his eyes were green with blue like those of his father, his face with delicate features, his beak had tiny spots giving an appearance of freckles and his characteristic more attractive, his smile; And finally the youngest son, Rip Runner, a 14-year-old roadrunner, he had dark purple body feathers but his tail and head were pale purple, lagoon green eyes like his mother, slim and not very athletic complexion. , his face was attractive but he always had a grimace of boredom or disinterest in it.

The first-born of the Runner clan as of today would be a student in the area of science and advanced engineering at Acme University. Rev since he was little had shown interest and a great facility for research and invention, becoming a promise in the world of science for his school projects, some of which today were sold in his family's companies, leaving behind millions of customers satisfied with the product. His family was very proud of him, although at first his father preferred the idea that his son study administration and management so that tomorrow he will take up his position in the "RoadRunner" company as he was due to be one of his heirs along with his Rip's younger brother but Rev managed to convince him that he would be more useful in the design, experimentation and creation part of the company.

At this moment Rev was finishing his bath and getting ready to go to breakfast. Rev finished his bath and quickly put on his clothes: a white shirt with a black bow at the neck, opaque chocolate-colored baggy pants a little below the knee, red belt with gold buckle, delicate red gloves, boots with Low heel to the height of the knee in black with small gold details on the sides and a beautiful gray catsby hat with a gear on one side as a decoration, the young roadrunner had quite simple, classic and somewhat feminine tastes . The roadrunner finished and went downstairs to have breakfast, in the kitchen her mother was serving breakfast and her father was drinking coffee while reading the newspaper.

- "Hello Ma" -Rev says kissing his mother on the cheek and then running and sitting next to his father and repeating the action from a few seconds ago- "Hello Pa" -

- "How did my little one sleep?" - Harriet says leaving Rev's breakfast is his place.

- "Excellent Ma, I couldn't stop moving from the excitement" -Says Rev happily to later try his food- "Heavens Ma! These pancakes are so delicious that they taste like ..." -

- "Damn!" - Ralph shouted leaving the diary on the table- "It must be a damn joke!" -

- "Ralph Runner vocabulary!" - Harriet says scolding her husband- "Rip could hear you" -

- "I'm sorry honey but this article talks about the university that Rev will go to" -Says Ralph and then holds the newspaper tight- "Just listen to this:" The director of Acme University, Dr. Coyote says that the rumors about a phantom in the institution are just that, rumors, so the students will be safe and attend without inconvenience "" -

- "Phantom?" - Rev and Harriet say at the same time with curiosity.

- "That doesn't matter" -Says Ralph downplaying the importance of showing the photo of the article to his wife and son- "This is the problem!" dressed in a typical suit, at that moment everything was as clear as water for Rev- "The students will be safe HA! How will they be safe with a coyote as director" -

- "Pa, Mr. Coyote has been the director for more than 7 years and there has been no problem" -Rev sighs- "Besides the coyotes have not chased the roadrunners for about 10 generations" -

- "Listen to me son, I know what I'm saying" -Says Ralph seriously- "I only allow you to go to that university because it is the best in the country but stay alert" -

- "Okay Pa" - Rev says with the face of a saint to calm his father and then think "With what a phantom, huh? I think I'll have to see it with my own eyes."

(...)

The entire Runner family was heading to college in the family's latest model steam car. Acme University was far from the desert area of the city since it was at the other end of the city, being almost on the outskirts of it. Ralph was driving while talking to Harriet, Rip was half asleep since they took him out of bed, fed him and threw him inside the car since if they waited for him to get up on his own, they would arrive when the semester ended, and Rev was very excited seeing other cars go by, the trains going on point to their destinations, the zeppelins through the sky and the passers-by while he thought about what his life would be like now "Will it go well? Will I get along? with my roommate? Will I meet new people? Will the teachers be nice or grumpy? "These and other thoughts reigned in the roadrunner's mind.

(...)

When the Runners arrived at the university they went to visit the university a bit since they had arrived with plenty of time, when the cuckoo clock tower struck 10 o'clock, they and the other families who had arrived went to the largest auditorium in the place to listen to the typical words of the beginning of classes on the part of the principal. After that the families began to say goodbye to their sons and daughters.

Harriet was hugging her eldest son tightly as she gave him kiss after kiss on her cheeks- "I'm going to miss you so much my little baby" -

- "I'm going to miss you too Ma" -Rev says, corresponding his mother's hug- "But before you know it, it will be winter holidays" -Harriet lets go of Rev and he goes to Rip to hug him- "You I'm going to miss little brother "-

- "Me too brother" -Rip loved his brother and even if he didn't show it he was going to miss him a lot, both him and his incessant voice- "Luck and all that" -

- "Thank you" -Says Rev kissing Rip's forehead to hug his father- "Bye Pa, remember that I love you very, very, very much" -

- "Me too son, remember to be careful with coyotes and ..." - Ralph stopped talking when he saw that some boys who looked older than his son stopped to observe him and whistled in a mischievous way towards Rev- "And with the others predators Have more respect you slimy brats that he is someone's son! Better go study instead of harassing an innocent boy! "-

- "Pa calm down" -Rev says calmly but also with shame- "They are just some kids joking and aren't you supposed to protect the youngest child and not the 18-year-old?" -

- "I can't help it son, it's that you see yourself as an easy prey for them" -Says Ralph watching his son- "I know you're already 18 but with you it's different, with Rip I just have to worry that the girl who take home use skirts or pants below the knee but with you I have to make sure your partner is a gentleman Are you sure you will be well surrounded by all these perverts and scoundrels? "-

- "Hahaha, don't worry Pa I'll be fine" -Rev says kissing his father on the cheek- "I'll call you every day and remember that Lexi comes to this university too" -

Once Rev finished saying goodbye to his family, he went to the dorms to settle in and relax a bit before he started his classes tomorrow. The room was elegant and comfortable, apparently her partner had not yet arrived so he was alone in the bedroom.

The roadrunner finished unpacking his clothes in his trunk, putting personal items in the drawers, and placing some of his things like books, notebooks, as well as some ornaments and a picture of his family on the shelves when the door opened and revealed a duck. The duck was slim with black feathers and baby blue eyes, the young duck was dressed in: A black aviator hat with gold colored goggles, an orange scarf, a gray jacket with only a button on that allowed to see a white shirt underneath it, a brown belt from which hung a watch, gray pants and black boots with gold buckles.

- "What a waste! I ... well not but! My parents paid a good tuition so that they do not have a butler to bring my luggage!" - The duck complained entering the door- "And they say that This is a good university as it will be a bad one then! "- The mysterious young man finally realizes the roadrunner present-" You must be my partner "-

- "That's right" -Says the roadrunner to offer him his hand- "Hi, I'm Rev Runner!" -

- "I am the great and incredible Danger Duck" -Says the duck responding to the greeting- "You must have heard of me?" -

- "I'm afraid not but it's a pleasure to meet you Danger" -

- "I know Rev, meeting me is a pleasure" -Danger says at the same time as he opened his luggage- "It seems that I'm going to have to unpack since they don't have butlers"

"It will be fun to share a room with this duck" thought Rev with amusement- "I suppose you are a student of aerial driving, or was I wrong?"

- "Yes, I am. Hey, how did you know?" - Danger says somewhat confused and curious.

- "Foreboding" - Rev says when he sees the poster of zeppelin ships, airplanes and pilots that the duck was hanging on the wall, not to mention that she was wearing an aviator's cap.

- "You must be a kind of genius or something. You who study Rev?" -

- "Advanced science and engineering" -

- "Are you a nerd? Great that means you will help me with my homework!" -

- "Hahaha sure, I hope we get along" -

- "Sure, geek / popular friendships are the best And who is more popular than me?" -

The birds kept talking and getting to know each other until it was 1 in the afternoon, lunchtime, and they decided to go out for something to eat, hoping to find some acquaintances in the dining room.

They were almost about to enter the dining room when they heard a scream that was directed at the roadrunner- "Revy!" - A rabbit with blond fur, slender figure, bright green eyes shouted, the rabbit was dressed in: elbow length with cream top and bottom made of pink ruffles to the knee, her ears were tied with a bow made of purple ribbon, a chocolate colored corset, a necklace with a key pendant in bronze color , fingerless gloves and black stockings, and chocolate-colored ankle boots.

- "Lex!" - Rev shouted when he saw the rabbit who came running and then go towards her to hug her- "Nice to see you" -

- "It's also nice to see you" -Says the rabbit breaking the hug- "I haven't seen you in person since your brother's birthday party and that was 2 weeks ago" -

- "True but we have both been busy, you with your designs and I with my projects and entering here" -Says the roadrunner somewhat sad- "It is different to talk on the phone or send letters and telegrams to meet face to face "-

- "Don't even remind me, the important thing now is that we see each other in person" -

- "Right Oh I almost forgot!" - Says Rev and then turns to Danger- "Lexi, he's my roommate Danger Duck, first-year air driving student" -Then he turned to see the rabbit- "Danger, she is my best friend Lexi Bunny, sophomore fashion student "-

- "Enchanted Danger" -Says Lexi shaking hands with her duck.

- "I know Lexi, I know, I'm incredible and very handsome so yes, meeting me is a pleasure" -Danger says responding to the rabbit's greeting- "Well Rev and Rev's friend, let's go in because I'm starving and apparently there are no butlers here "-

When the duck was walking towards the dining room the rabbit approached the roadrunner and whispered- "Is that normal for him or is he bitten by a poisonous spider and is he delirious?"

- "I think so, he said almost the same thing to me when I met him" -

- "Oh! Then just an egocentric idiot" -

The roadrunner and the rabbit laughed and then entered the dining room, they found Danger talking with a rabbit with light gray fur, slim but athletic complexion and deep blue eyes, he was wearing: A shirt with a cream colored bow on the neck and with stripes of a darker shade, a yellow vest with gold buttons, white pants, brown lace-up shoes, a short front and long open back opaque black raincoat, an opaque black top hat with a yellow line and a gear on one side, and a brown belt that had a sheath that was tied on his left leg in which he had a golden cane.

- "Rev, Lexi, he is my best friend Ace Bunny" -Says the duck pointing to the rabbit- "Ace, they are Rev Runner my roommate and Lexi Bunny his best friend" -

- "What's up, Docs?" - Says Ace shaking hands with Rev and then Lexi, who responded the greeting- "It's a pleasure" -

- "The pleasure is ours" -I say in unison the best friends.

- "Danger's friends are my friends, come to the table with us" -

- "Thank you" -Says Rev- "You are very kind Ace" -

The rabbit led them to a table where his friends were sitting, who turned out to be very nice. They were: Slam Tasmania, a fourth-year steam train engineering and repair student who was friends with Ace; He was a tasmanian devil with brown fur, violet eyes, a large, muscular body, dressed in: A purple overalls that had the chest buttons detached, a white muscular, a brown belt with a buckle engraved with a wrench, pliers and gear, and a pocket on the side in which he carried a large royal wrench, bronze goggles on his head, brown fingerless gloves, and gray boots. Sylth Vester Royal, a third year student from the area of physical preparation for future soldiers, guards and others who was Ace's classmate and an old acquaintance of Rev since his brother Rip was a friend and classmate of Sylth Vester's brother , Tweetums; He was a cat with blue eyes, large and muscular complexion, black and white fur, he wore: A white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and ruffles at the neck, a red vest with silver buttons that had a small pocket with a watch on it. his interior, light gray pants and black boots; And finally Pinkster Pig, a sophomore management and administration student who was Danger's childhood friend and a good friend to the rabbit; he was a pink piggy, short in stature and chubby complexion, black eyes, he wore: A white shirt, an open dark blue jacket, a red bow tie, brown knee-length pants with matching suspenders, white stockings and black lace-up shoes.

(...)

When lunch finished, the newly formed group of friends decided that it would be a good idea to continue their talk on one of the benches in the internal courtyard, but when they reached the courtyard they saw a lot of students around a gazebo and in the middle of it there was someone from standing talking about who knows what, they decided to go see why the uproar.

In the middle of the gazebo stood a tall, muscular young human with red hair streaked with blonde in his. He wore: A yellow shirt with the first buttons detached and sleeves up to the elbows, a red vest with gold details, brown pants, black elbow-length gloves which lacked the thumb, index and little fingers, and some brown boots.

- "Why all the fuss?" - Danger asked- "Did someone put up a poster of a naked girl?" -

- "Hopefully" -Says Ace- "But it's just the idiot Sypher" -

- "Sypher?" - Danger asked.

- "Drake Sypher, he's an idiot who's a grade higher than Ace and me" -Sylth Vester says spitting some drool when speaking- "He's just a good for nothing I don't know how he got that far in an area as strict as what is physical preparation for soldiers "-

- "I'll tell you how Sylth, cheating" -Says Ace- "Everyone knows he's a cheater" -

- " Wer see wat dh idioue seu mowr(We see what the idiot says now)" - Slam says seeing the fourth grader talking.

- "What I'm telling you is true, if you go to the basement that is built under the laboratory ..." - Says Sypher - "... The phantom of the laboratory will attack you, if you are lucky quickly but otherwise it will be slow and painful" -

- "Phantom of the laboratory?" - Rev asked curious.

- "Don't listen to him Revy" -Says Lexi- "He's just a legend that has been going through the halls for a while now" -

- "The phantom is more than just a legend bunny" -Sypher says approaching where the group was while the rest of those present left with some fear without wanting to hear the rest- "Several students have seen him wander through the corridors in the night and heard his steps in the laboratory, they say that he is so horrible that he wears a mask and he who has the misfortune to see him without it dies because he cannot bear so much ugliness, those who have had the misfortune to come across him have left college in seconds "-

- "Well Sypher, I haven't seen him" -Ace says, Lexi and Sylth Vester shake their heads implying that they haven't seen him either- "So there is no such ghost, it's just a silly rumor to scare the first class anus"-

- "I, I, I ha ha have only be be been here for a year but I ha ha haven't se se seen him e e either" -

- "That's because they haven't been around long enough. And what do you say Tasmania?" -

- "I've bin hre fur the sae timop and I've meverrr srgn thur phnttonp (I've been here the same time as you and I've never seen the phantom)" -

- "Ha yeah? So what do you say about what happened to Coyote?" - Drake says making Slam so white as if, worth the redundancy, he had seen a ghost.

- "Coyote?" - Asked Rev- "Did the director have an encounter with the phantom?" -

- "Elu director nou si son (The director no, his son)" -

- "Son?" - Rev, Danger, Pinkster and Lexi say in unison with surprise.

- "Isn't the director's son supposed to be going to another university in another country for health reasons?" - Asked the rabbit with doubt.

- "Yes" -Said the cat- "That was said by the director Coyote himself when they asked him about him in a conference" -

- "Tsu is prt of the strroi (That's just part of the story)" -

- "When Tasmania and I were first graders ..." - The human began to narrate- "The principal's son was a second grader in advanced science and engineering, he always made fun of ghost stories and One day some students were talking that they had heard footsteps and seen someone in the corridors but especially in the laboratory late at night the day before, and he said mockingly "if there is a ghost here that attacks me. ..See? Nothing happened because they do not exist ", that day was the final exhibition of projects, when his project, which had worked perfectly the other times, mysteriously failed. The device exploded squarely against him, they had to call the ambulance because it seemed more Dead rather than alive. The next year the director announced that his son had delicate health so he would have to attend another university in a country where they had the necessary medical treatment for him. Not to mention that after that the sightings were made every time more frequent"-

- "Thsmo doesn't even wnt to saay nafingda, it was a impl coinsndence (That doesn't mean anything, it was a simple coincidence)"

- "Coincidence? Ha, you know perfectly well that Coyote never made mistakes, he and Casey were the geeks in their area, and I don't think a project by that nerd would fail due to a" simple mistake. "Admit it or it wasn't the ghost's work. so I recommend you be careful and respect it by not going to the basement of the laboratory "-Sypher left the group quite thoughtful, especially the roadrunner, who could not help thinking at what point the truth ended and the legend began in everything that ended to hear.

The topic was quickly changed and they returned to their initial conversation, now sitting in the gazebo. When the sun was setting and the clock rang indicating dinner time, the new group that was formed in the afternoon continued the talk and jokes until bedtime, at which time they said goodbye and went to their respective rooms. . Rev and Danger went to their bedroom, put on their pajamas, got into their respective beds, covered themselves with the blankets, and wished each other good night. The duck fell asleep quickly, snoring loudly while the roadrunner thought about everything he heard today "Phantom or no phantom I'll have to see it with my eyes" and with that thought he went to sleep.
