Chapter 16 - It feels like, something is off here. Maybe?

| Early Saturday morning.

"Seven-teen! EighTeen! Nine-" A girl was counting outside.

*The squeak of the door.

"Yah-yAaawn... Wow, it does look like a bright and nice day off." Bernadetta thought aloud, seeming relaxed. "Think I will go out and, shop, around...?"

"Urk! I'm feeling sucky today, but I can't be! Two- ThreE!" The girl said loudly and anxiously.

Bernadetta asked, "Silvia? What are you... "

"Ack! -urh... " Silvia shouted, surprised by her. "Aaah-hah. Sorry about that, Bernadetta. *Breathes* I want to. TRYing to do morning stretches here... "

Looking confused, Bernadetta said, "Are you, now_ I feel like I have to ask. This morning, did you try to- 'change things up' or? Something about you, seems off maybe?"

She replied, distractedly, "Huh? Yes, I would agree.. "

| Right when the answer was on the tip of my tongue. There was another problem, and it had happened in front of us.

"Mrew-mew? grRhh!"

Silvia shouted, "My ribbon!! The cat---- I NEED my ribbon!"

Bernadetta gasped, "Her ribbon- Her ponytail!! That is what was off. W-wWait.. "

Silvia shrieked, and said, "No- Argh! nO! B-b-Black cat! A black cat walked by me. Now I'll have bad luck... "

"Mhew! Grh--" It grumbled, running off.

As she followed it, she asked herself, "Hhold on.. Wonder if getting bad luck from a cat, with black and white fur, counts?"

| Throughout the campus.

A pretty girl asked, "Hey gIRl? Is my lipstick good?"

"It's fine.. but maybe, it could be glossier?" The friend responded.

She said, with a hand-mirror, "Hold up. Letme-tryyy... A kitty???"

*Incoming sounds of shouting.

((Shattering!!))

"H-Hey!! That mirror was expensive!" The pretty girl cried out.

Silvia fussed, "Arrh! I broke a mirror. That means, I'm gonna have badder luck!"

Bernadetta asked, concerned, "Really??? Is that true?"

"Caution. Library under some repairs." A passing sign read.

The construction manager said, "Yeah, so anyway. It seems like that side-business of mine is going under. Hah-hahrgh..... "

The foremen replied, "Aww, a darn shame. It always sucks when people's big dreams go under."

Silvia shouted, "Come back! Please, before you'll lose my ribbon."

*CreAk- knock.

The manager joked, "Ye-ep. It seems like everything around me is going under... "

Stressed out, Silvia griped, "Wrgh! Ran under a ladder... Am I done for now?"

| Minutes of running later.

Bernadetta exclaimed, "I think it hid over there."

"GrrpUrr... " It growled.

She said alarmedly, "W-wait. Was that? That is my car. It hid under my car."

Silvia said with fear, "What.. What'll I do now? What can we do, about this?"

Bernadetta was silent, until, "Silvia... Where is your dog, right now?"

Silvia replied, confused, "Sleeping calmly in my dorm, why?"

| One return trip later.

Silvia ordered, "Go, scare him good Kichi!"

"Ruff, RUFF!" He eagerly barked.

"I caught the cat. Anddd -now, I have your ribbon back." Bernadetta said with a relived sigh.

*Squeak, whoop.

Silvia stated, "Great! Silvia feels like Silvia again."

| Somehow, with all the craziness that had just happened. Silvia made it there in time for her group's practice run.

Silvia thought, gleefully, 'Getting closer, I've almost hit *trips on pebble*"

*Plunk.

Her friends asked, "Ouch, are you alright?!"

"UrgUnh... " Silvia groaned, as she realized, "Yeahsies! I've passed the line!!"

*They awkwardly cheered.

*Drip..

*Drop, drip.

Her friends said, "Man! IT'S raining!"
