In a hallway, Saatvika and Rodrigo were finding a quiet place to study for their science test. While looking around, they found a door with cobwebs and dust on it. Not knowing what it said, Rodrigo wiped the dust off of it.
Zoology 101
"I read about this in the CKH Handbook," Rodrigo recalled. "This is where they use to dissect salamanders."
Saatvika remembered that her mother was once an exchange student to England where she dissected frogs and it was only thing she hated during her time.
When they got inside the room, they saw old science equipment and fossils of salamanders. Saatvika was sad, because back in the '70s they use to dissect animals and many students hated doing that. Feeling bad for Saatvika's hatred for dissection, Rodrigo comforted her.
"This room is loco," Saatvika admitted.
"I know," Rodrigo replied. "Dean Dennis believed that this room is haunted by salamander ghosts, he dissected a frog once and had a nightmare that frogs were dissecting him. Harley told me about it."
"She told me the same story, too," Saatvika recalled. "This is why he can't have frog legs."
Not wanting to get a bad grade on their science test, they started studying.

In the teacher's lounge, Ms. Benjamin was doing a Sugar Rush crossword puzzle when Coach Howland came in with a Latina woman with armpit length black hair and was in gym apparel. When Ms. Benjamin was finished, she spotted Coach Howland with his old college friend. "You must be the new gym teacher," she guessed.
"That's right," the Latina lady replied. "Kailey Viteri, former aerobics major and new girls' gym teacher. Zander has told me all about you and the other Animal Caretaker Society members."
"That's us," Ms. Benjamin chuckled nervously, "learning about Kansas's wildlife."
Coach Viteri was a little confused, but was glad that she had a new job.

During gym class the next day, Coach Viteri was teaching gym class to the students. The replacement gym teacher, far better than Coach Landon, delighted everyone. During their game of dodge ball, everyone started gossiping about Rodrigo and Saatvika going into the abandoned Zoology 101 room.
Outside of gym class later on, Coach Viteri was going over some notes when she met the ACS. The girls were stunned, because Coach Viteri was more polite than Coach Landon. "Zander had told me all about you girls," she explained. "I heard rumors that one of you were going into the old Zoology 101 room for studying."
"It was me," admitted Saatvika. "Rodrigo and I wanted some study time. Chanel and Vada were watching a biopic about women's rights, which the acting is considered terrible, the library is being used for a book signing of a 1980s alumni, and Rodrigo's room is being used for a Road Smashers tournament."
Instead of getting irritated, Coach Viteri smiled. "I remember when me and my big brother use to sneak into an old library for some quiet time. Our parents never knew of course, because we only go on Mondays and Thursdays when its not raining outside.

Meanwhile on his ship, Poach was working on a little plastic wrap on door gambit when he hears Aretha and Crossni come in.
"I can't believe that I blew spying on the human for Poach," complained Crossni.
"Enough complaining," replied Aretha. "We're already having some troubles now."
Just then, Crossni realized something. "If we could do it on live animals," she said, "we can do it on skeletons, too."
Instead of going through the door, they turned away. Poach was so mad at the backfired prank, he fell for his own prank."Darn my backfire pranks." he groaned to himself.

A few minutes later on Earth, the McCart Bug was going around the place when it found a skull of a salamander dissected in the '70s.

Elsewhere, Saatvika was heading over to the old Zoology 101 when Bok Choy sensed danger, "What is it, Congee?" she whispered to her Mini-Mew.
"Wéixiǎn! Wéixiǎn! (Danger! Danger!)" answered Congee.
Remembering the advice Ms. Benjamin gave them, Congee sensed danger nearby. Luckily, she remembered that Rodrigo will be running late because he had to return some overdue library books and will be picking up dinner for the two of them.
Mew Mew Sundae, Metamorphosis.

In the cafeteria, McCart Salamander was tearing up the place and everyone was running out for safety.
"This is terrible!" Dean Dennis shouted, "The cafeteria is becoming a wreck an the superintendent is going to fire me!"
"No problem, sir!" shouted Mew Mew Sundae from behind. "You get to safety while we handle this!"
Dean Dennis was surprised by Mew Mew Sundae's appearance, but he didn't want to get hurt nor fired. So he did what Mew Mew Sundae said. As quick as she could, Mew Mew Sundae used her chameleon powers and her Illusion Staff to stop McCart Salamander. Suddenly, a group of arrows pop out of nowhere and behind McCart Salamander, were Mew Mew Honey and Lotus Leaf.
"Just in time, Honey!" shouted Mew Mew Sundae.
"I couldn't just leave behind our movie star now, could I?" asked Mew Mew Honey. "Now let's settle this salamander."
Before they could do that, Aretha came out of the kitchen and sang. Using her powerful singing voice, Aretha brainwashed the Mew Mews into being her slaves. Little did Aretha know was that her singing didn't affect Mini-Mews because they were robots. Congee and Lotus Leaf knew they needed to save their owners. Using their big hearts and their tiny brains, they found some metal utensils leftover. Using some cafeteria tableware as a catapult, they aimed the pointy forks towards Aretha and McCart Salamander, causing Mew Mews Sundae and Honey to snap out of the hypnosis.
"I don't know what happened," admitted Mew Mew Honey, "but let's give this salamander a singing feeling."
Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew Grace,
Mew Mew Style In Your Face
And just like that, McCart Salamander turned back into a fossil. Worried that she would get in trouble, Aretha teleported back to the spaceship.
"What happened?" Mew Mew Sundae asked as she turned back into Saatvika. "The only thing I remember is Aretha's powerful singing."
"Xǐnǎo, Xǐnǎo!" shouted Congee and Lotus Leaf.
"If I remember from my Chinese lectures back in Australia," Mew Mew Honey said as she changed back to Harley, "I say that Aretha must've brainwashed us into being her slaves."
With silent mouths, Congee and Lotus Leaf nodded their heads.
While they were cuddling their owners, Saatvika got a text.
I'm at Zoology 101, got pizza.
Xoxoxo Rodrigo.
"Go to him, Saat," smiled Harley. "I've got to go to a bingo tournament with Uncle Allen."
With a big smile, Saatvika headed off to Zoology 101 to meet up with Rodrigo.

The next day, Saatvika and Rodrigo was taking the ACS, Ms. Benjamin, and Dean Dennis to the abandoned Zoology 101. Dean Dennis wasn't so sure about going in, but Harley encouraged him thanks to some honey almond cookies that Ms. Benjamin made last night. Smiling at his niece, Dean Dennis took a cookie and ate it.
Inside the room, they looked around to find that the place was abandoned and old. Remembering a letter from the superintendent that they needed a study room for those who want to study for tests, he decided to use this as a study room. Everyone cheered.
The End
