Training Missions for Milo:
Skyla stared anxiously at the girl, who had begged her for help.
"You can't leave, only you can help me, I'm in danger," said the girl.
"You don't exist! I'm dreaming, I don't want to see you, Look, I'm going home! Look for someone else to help you," said Skyla.
Skyla put her bags down a walked over to the phone and called to her mother.
"Mum, can you come get me, I want to come home," said Skyla.
"Skyla, wait, don't hang up," said Mrs. Tolliver. "Sweetheart are you still there?"
"Mum?" Asked Skyla.
Skyla turned and saw that the girl was gone again.
In the meantime, Percy walked toward school, with Milo running after him, trying to talk him into giving him another chance to retake the test.
"Dude, I didn't want to say anything, I swear she forced me," said Milo.
"Was that before or after you gave her a gift?" Asked Percy.
"How do you know about that?" Asked Milo.
"Because I've been following since you left the house," said Percy.
"Dude, I can explain," said Mio.
"Too late, I'm doing the mission on my own," said Percy.
"But we're a duo, a duo, dude, like Batman and Robin!" Said Milo.
"This mission is super dangerous, I only work with people I fully trust", said Percy.
"But that's me! Dude! Milo!" Said Milo
"Milo," said Percy.
"Percy and Milo! Detective duo, number one, if there is danger they go there! Sang Milo," as he started to play air guitar.
"Okay, okay, you get one last chance to prove yourself," said Percy.
"Oh, yeah!" cheered Milo.
Milo was happy to get another chance and started playing air guitar again. Percy rolled his eyes and continued walking toward school.
In the meantime Skyla was still in the house with her mother on the phone, she said nothing a just stared at where the girl stood.
"Sweetheart don't rush anything, we agreed on that you were going to try," said Mrs. Tolliver.
"Mum? There was a girl here, A phantasm," said Skyla.
"Skyla," said Mrs. Tolliver.
"You see, you think I'm strange as well," said Skyla.
"I don't think you're strange, why do you say that?" Asked Mrs. Tolliver.
"Because the say I'm a witch," said Skyla.
"Sweetheart, that's nonsense," said Mrs. Tolliver. "Did you do something fun with your housemates? Don't you like any of them?"
"No! Everyone thinks I'm strange! I'm coming home now! Okay, said Skyla.
"Skyla, don't hang up, Arlene can help you, said Mrs. Tolliver.
"Arlene? Asked Skyla.
"You can trust Arlene, Skyla, you really can, We didn't got you into Anubis house with no reason," said Mrs. Tolliver.
Skyla didn't say anyhing, was her mother right, can she trust Arlene, trust her to tell her what she saw.
In the meantime Percy and Milo were hiding in the bushes, for Milo's training mission. But before it could begin, Milo began to sneeze.
Be quiet. Technique 7: Camouflage, the basis for every detective, this way you can observe people and follow them," said Percy.
What do you mean by following? I can't see anything," said Milo.
"It's very important that you execute this properly, you wouldn't be the first one up dead when following someone," said Percy. "So stay still understood?"
"Yes, I don't want to die yet," said Milo.
"Do you see that passerby?" Asked Percy, as he saw a man walking.
"Yes," said Milo.
"Try following him unnoticeably," said Percy.
Milo was about to follow the man, when a bee started flying next to him, Milo panicked and ran out of bushes, startling the man and running away. Milo lay down on the ground and rolled back and forth. Percy walked out of the bushes and grabbed his recorder.
"Percy! Percy!" Shouted Milo.
"Training Mission 1: Failed," said Percy.
Back at the house, Skyla sat in her room with Mouse in her hands and was practicing what she was going to say to Arlene, but this wasn't going very well so far.
"Hi, Arlene, I wanted to say that I think I'm a witch," said Skyla, but shook her head after saying it out loud. "No, that isn't it."
Skyla thought about how to go about saying it in a different way, when she had thought of something she picked up Mouse again.
"Hi, Skyla, remember, yes, I'm looking for an invisible girl," said Skyla.
Skyla shook her head because again it didn't feel right to her.
"Mouse I can't do this," said Skyla. "You think I should listen to mum?"
Skyla heard the door open and turned and saw that it was Arlene walking into the room.
"Shouldn't you be in school now?" Asked Arlene.
"Well..," said Skyla.
"Yes?" Asked Arlene.
"I wanted to say," said Skyla.
"Yes?" Asked Arlene again.
"That…," said Skyla.
"Are you going somewhere?" Asked Arlene, as she noticed that Skyla was sitting on a suitcase.
"No, no, wanted to know if all my clothes still fit in it, for an emergency if I have to leave quickly, my record is 29 seconds, without my shoes," said Skyla, as that was the best excuse she could come up with.
"Are you okay? Asked Arlene.
"Yes, said Skyla.
Skyla grabbed her bag and walked out of the room to go to school. Arlene thought Skyla's behavior was odd, she looked at Skyla's bags and then left the room.
In the meantime, Percy and Milo were still in the woods working on Milo's training mission.
"That first situation was a drama, if it was a real mission, we would have been dead, If you ruin the next missions as well, it's over, do you understand? Asked Percy.
"Yes," said Milo.
"Okay, get in position," said Percy.
Percy and Milo held the newspapers in front of their faces that had two peepholes in them.
"This is one of the oldest tricks from the book, this way you can watch your target without anyone notching," said Percy.
"You can't be serious!" Said Milo.
"What?" Asked Percy.
"They want to give us more hours at school," said Milo, as he put the newspaper on his lap.
"Milo," said Percy.
"Yes," said Milo.
"You shouldn't read the newspaper, and you've given yourself away," said Percy.
Milo quickly put the newspaper in front of his face again, Percy grabbed his recorder and turned it on.
"Training Mission 2: Also failed," said Percy.
In the meantime, Skyla was on her way to school and regretted not telling Arlene about the girl.
"Skyla, why didn't you say anything? Mum said that I should trust Arlene, I don't know either," said Skyla. "Yes, you want to go home too, don't you? Yes, me too."
Skyla looked at Mouse and had made up her mind.
"You know what? We're not going to school, what if Milo has to book on witchcraft with him," said Skyla. "Everyone might laugh at me. We're going home."
Skyla turned and began walking slowly toward home, until she suddenly stopped.
"But I'll never see Raphael again," said Skyla. "Did I say that out loud? It's a secret, Mouse. Every time he looks at me, it feels like I can't breathe."
Skyla turned around again and walked toward school again.
"Raphael, probably doesn't even notice me, he is probably in love with Anastacia," said Skyla. "Who want a witch for a girlfriend or friend? Expect for you."
In the meantime, Percy and Milo were still working on training missions for Milo.
"Technique 11: Blend in with the environment," said Percy.
"I'm good at that, great even," said Milo.
As Milo continued to brag about how he was going to succeed for this mission, Percy saw Skyla coming in their direction.
"Quick, make yourself invisible," said Percy.
Percy quickly managed to hide behind a tree. Milo looked around and seeing no hiding pale, he went to stand next to the pole, Skyla came running up and saw Milo standing there.
"Milo? I can see you," said Skyla.
Milo put his hands in front of his eyes, but of course Skyla could still see him.
"I can still see you," said Skyla.
Milo held his breath and moved toward the other side of the pole, Skyla thought it was strange and decided to keep walking. As soon as Skyla was gone, Milo couldn't hold his breath and started coughing. Percy came out from behind the tree and grabbed his recorder.
"Training Mission 3: Failed, again. Candidate Milo has one chance left," said Percy.
Percy turned off his recorder and put it back in his pocket and walked toward school, Milo was bumped that he had ruined another training mission.
In the meantime in the house, Arlene was in Kent's study making calls to Skyla's mother.
"Mrs. Tolliver? Hello, you're speaking with Arlene of Anubis House, I'm calling about Skyla, I'm afraid she is homesick," said Arlene. "I wanted to ask you how I can make her feel more at home. Is there something that makes Skyla happy? Something from home from example?"
At the same time at school, Anastacia saw students looking at a poster, she walked over and saw that it was the poster announcing auditions for the school musical.
"Ah, the school musical, if you want to be become one of the leads, take part in the auditions, that is not necessary, because I'm going to play the lead, so don't even bother signing up," said Anastacia.
Anastacia looked around and saw Raphael standing in the hallway not far from the poster.
"But I'm very curious to see who will be my male counterpart, it has to be a boy who is as talented as me and who's just as beautiful," said Anastacia, she saw Raphael heading her way. "Oh hi, Raphael.
"Hey," said Raphael.
Many students, including Anastacia picked up a sign-up sheet for the auditions. Raphael looked at the poster and when he didn't see anyone he also grabbed a sign-up sheet, but then he heard his father's voice in his head. Raphael crumpled up the piece of paper, threw it on the ground and walked away.
In the meantime, Percy and Milo had arrived at school and were in the library, for the last training's mission for Milo.
"Location: School library, this is candidate Milo's final mission and his last chance, if he doesn't pass the one, I can't take him on my mission, it would be way to dangerous," said Percy.
"Okay, dude, I know I will be able to do it, really, this time it will," said Milo.
"Okay, technique 36: The bookcase, the perfect technique to spy on people," said Percy, as he moved some books out of the way. "You see."
"Yes," said Milo.
"If your target begins to notices something, kneel down, got it?" asked Percy, as he knelt down.
"Yep," said Milo.
"Okay, now it's your turn," said Percy.
"Okay," said Milo.
Milo looked at the books and then saw a book lying there that caught his attention.
"Dude, they've got Iron-man here," said Milo.
"Milo, focus," said Percy.
"Right," said Milo.
Percy knelt down, Milo removed the books from the bookcase, to his shock he saw Mr. Danbury standing in front of him and he did not look too happy.
"Hey," said Milo.
In the meantime, Raphael was sitting behind the piano in the drama room, playing again the song he played the first day of school. Skyla was in the hallway and heard music coming from the drama room, she cautiously walked into the room and saw Raphael playing. Raphael stopped playing, Skyla quickly wanted to walk away, but Raphael had already turned around and seen her.
"Skyla?" Asked Raphael.
How will Raphael react now that Skyla has already heard him playing his song again? Will Raphael start signing up for the musical, too? Who will get the lead roles? And now that Milo has been caught by Mr. Danbury, what was in store for him? Has Milo now completely failed the training's missions? Or will he get one very last chance from Percy?
