Welcome to Tibidoya!
December 6, 2023 at 8:31 PM
The next morning, Sally packed her things into a red suitcase, and Blaze used magic to help shrink it in size with her things inside, making it easier to move them all around. Sally temporarily stuffed such a chest into her left shoe and hid it there. When they went down, the cooks had already arrived through the back entrance to work and continued preparing food for customers. Mephiles and Sonia accompanied their daughter and the princess to the alley opposite the road across the street, where there was no one yet.
β You will go not just to the planet Trafix, but literally to the kingdom of Trafix, where Tibidoya is located. Not only will they find a place for you at school, but there will also be inhabitants on the planet itself who will accept you and take care of you until you begin to live on your own. And don't forget to call us when you get there. β said Sonia.
β And be very careful! After all, suddenly you will again meet with those two monsters or someone worse or more terrible than them. β Mephiles assured.
Sally hugged her adoptive mom and dad and replied:
β I promise I will be very careful!
β And remember. We are not parting forever, because you know how much we love you. β said the father.
β Come back to our home during the holidays and donβt forget sometimes, if not to call, then at least write us SMS. β the mother punished her daughter, and the father whispered questioningly in her ear:
β SMS? Seriously? No one has been writing SMS to anyone for a hundred years now.
β I know. β Sonia whispers in Mephilesβ ear in response. β I just told her to at least send us something sometimes so that we wouldnβt worry about her.
β I'll miss you too.
β Okay, now Iβll get alarmed, call the scepter and teleport Sally and I to Trafix. β says Blaze and prepares to say the magic word for transformation, but Mephiles stops her:
β No no. Why waste your energy? I called one of my friends from another school on the same Traffic called Blue Waterfall. He promised me that this afternoon, at this very place, there will be a spaceship with four specialists who will take you on their ship to the planet Trafix.
β A! Is it true? OK. Then we'll wait for them. β the cat answers.
And there was no need to wait! After all, the spaceship, by coincidence, had already arrived and landed in that very alley. The shape of the starship resembled a chocolate candy wrapped in a triangular candy wrapper. The rear hatch opened and four specialists in multi-colored suits emerged from the ship, resembling suits with matrix boards for computer processors. These were hedgehogs. Blue, black-red, white and green. Blue wore a light blue uniform with white stripes and circles. Black and Scarlet wore red with purple stripes and circles. White wore white with blue stripes and circles. The green one wore glasses, the yellow one had blue stripes and circles.
β Guys! β Blaze smiled, recognizing those same specialists. β I'm so glad to see you!
β Mutually, Princess Blaze! β the white hedgehog answered with his index finger and smiling.
β Do you know each other? β asked Sally.
β Certainly. Let me introduce you to them. You are Sally, and this is Shadow. β she points to the black and red hedgehog, who folded his arms on his chest and turned his head away. He was clearly somehow serious. β This is Prince Sonic! β the cat points to the white hedgehog. β Manic. β points to the green hedgehog. β And this is Silver. Prince Sonic's assistant. β She points to the blue hedgehog, who was looking only at Sally herself with a smile.
β Itβs very nice to meet you! β says the chipmunk.
β Yes. We're happy too. β Manik answers.
β Don't pay attention to Shadow. He is sometimes gloomy with us, but he doesnβt bite. β said Sonic.
The blue hedgehog Silver continued to look at Sally, and she continued to look at him. Both had their own thoughts about each other:
β "Gorgeous! What red hair she has. My favorite color is! And what eyes!β
β βAnd Silver is cute! Even though heβs not a prince!β
β I ask everyone to come on board! β Manik waves his hand slightly and the specialists, together with the princess, are the first to go to the ship. Sally stood by the hatch and finally asked her parents:
β Are you sure you donβt want to come with me?
β No, we still have plenty of our own things to do on this planet. In addition, we need someone to look after our restaurant and ensure that the workers do not become lazy or create disturbances in our absence. β Mephiles answers.
β But don't be afraid. Listen to Princess Blaze more often and she will help you with everything and explain everything. β Sonia added.
β Fine. Thank you, mom, dad. Farewell!
The starship hatch closes, the ship takes off into the sky, leaves the atmosphere of the planet Taraban and, having launched the hyper-engine, fly very quickly from one outer space to another. They thus quickly flew to the planet Trafix.
β Dear passengers, to the right of your windows you can now see the planet Trafix. Fasten your seat belts and don't smoke! Now when landing it will shake a little. β says pilot Manik.
But the ship shook too much when it came into contact with the planetβs atmosphere. Then it stopped when they descended towards the forest area.
β A little, you say? β Shadow grumbled.
β This happens when you fly to other planets on a starship for the first time. Don't grumble, Shadow! β Silver teased him.
They land the ship next to the lake and open the hatch. The blue hedgehog comes out with the cat and the chipmunk and, pointing his finger where to go, said:
β Go northeast from Lake Karalalucia and arrive in Tibidoyu.
β Thanks for your help, Silver, guys. β Blaze thanked.
β Good luck, girls! β Sonic said from the ship.
Sally follows Blaze into the forest, but stops for a minute, turns and looks at the blue hedgehog, who was smiling at her.
β I hope we will see each other again?
β Certainly. β the hedgehog confirmed, came out of the shipβs hatch and gave the chipmunk a piece of paper with numbers. β My phone number. Will you call me if you suddenly need my help?
Sally nodded silently and accepted the phone number from the first friend she met. After Silver returned to the ship, the ship itself rose and flew south.
β Let's go, Sally, otherwise we'll be late for first lesson. β the princess called her and her friend ran to her friend to keep up.
They walk along the path and admire the beautiful birches and fir trees that surrounded the forest. On the way, they met a flying skunk with small wings like a butterfly. He flew past the cat and the chipmunk a couple of times and, turning his attention to Sally, took a liking to her. The skunk flew up and stood in front of the chipmunk's eyes.
β Hello. Where are you from?
β It's a skunamukh. β Blaze answers. β The rarest and most endangered animal in the universe. They are similar to skunks, but they produce two different scents. One is smelly if something scares, offends or angers them, and also a pleasant and sweet smell if they like something.
Sally even smelled that sweetest smell coming from the skunkamook. Skunamukh looked at the chipmunk smiling and purred like a cat. Suddenly, some kind of connection formed between him and Sally. Spiritual and more like love. A pink background with purple hearts formed around both of them, and a blue line ran between the girl and the animal. The chipmunk was surprised.
β You were lucky, Sally, he liked you and chose you as his mistress.
β His? β she didnβt understand.
β Itβs not people who choose their animals, but the animals themselves who choose their people if they trust them.
β What was that feeling between him and me? β asked Sally.
β This feeling is called Bonds. It's like love at first sight. You and the animal are closely and spiritually connected and become indistinguishable. Plus, if, for example, he is in danger, and you are far from each other, then you will immediately feel it and understand that he needs your help.
β Is it true? β the chipmunk thought out loud and stroked the flying skunk. β Hello. What is your name? β she asked him and he remained silent. Only mentally, as if with his soul, he answered her and thus Sally understood what his name was: β Pandik? And what? Fits. You're black and white, just like pandas.
Having finished talking, Sally, Blaze and Pandik moved on. They reached a bowl without grass and trees, where Tibidoy's school was located. The gates were already open and buses without wheels were arriving at the school. Some new students also came on foot. Blaze and Sally themselves entered next. Pandik hid in Sally's jacket, embarrassed by other students and teachers. On the way, Sally and Blaze were met by the yellow fox Zan-Headmistress Zooey in a red business suit. Holding a notepad in her hands, she asked the new arrivals:
β Your names?
β Blaze the cat.
β Sally the Dark.
Zooey checked their names on her notepad and said:
β Welcome to Tibidoyu! Feel at home and study well! Professor Big will show you to your rooms.
β Thank you, Zan-Director Zooey. β the princess thanked.
β Where is headmistress Maria Robotnik? β Sally didnβt understand.
β Don't worry! Soon all the freshmen and I will see her.
β Another question, how long will we study in Tibidoya?
β Only four years, and then we will either be offered to work here as new teachers, or we will be released into the open world to explore it.
β Ah, got it!
Every last student, including Sally and Blaze, stood near the entrance, where Big the purple cat stood.
β Welcome to Tibidoya, newcomers. I'm Professor Big Fatcat. Or just Bubble. I am one of your teachers. In this school you will be taught not only magic, but also the knowledge of good and evil, the difference with actions, alchemy and the balance between light and dark forces. No tricks or illusions! Everything will be completely serious and for real. Most importantly, promise to study well and listen to your teachers carefully. And also go to bed and get up on time. You will study with us for four years, and then your future fate will be determined. Also, as soon as you enter our school, be a little careful! Stairs sometimes change direction out of boredom and go either up or down in their own way. And also some rooms can change places. For example, one day I once went into one room where there was a library, and there was a shower room and a bunch of chocolate. And when I returned there a week later, there was already a table and a fire snail there. And the next day there was already a library there. So donβt be too nosy and donβt stick your nose where youβre not asked, and donβt play around with doors! And now please follow me, I will show each of you my bedrooms.
They entered through the main doors and found themselves in a large hall, where there was a staircase to the top with turns to the right and to the left. Big led all the students to the right. To begin with, he led eight students into one bedroom behind the door on the left, and five more into the second, which was behind the door that was after the first door. Big had already led Sally, Blaze and four other girls who would live here to the third door. Big himself escorted the rest of the students to other bedrooms, and Sally, Blaze and the other four girls decided to get acquainted. The third was an orange echidna, the fourth a lemur, the fifth a she-wolf, and the sixth was a humanoid plant-like creature called a cinderian. The orange echidna wore a blue tank top and jeans with red boots. Lemur wore a black shirt and pants with yellow stripes on the sides, more like a full wetsuit, and black sneakers. On top there was also a yellow sleeveless jacket. Whisper wore a blue tank top with a little bit of her midriff exposed, long black shorts and white sneakers. Cosmo wore a dark green tank top, purple pants with a light green skirt over the pants, and blue sneakers.
But before meeting, the six girls looked around their common room and were amazed by its appearance. The entire bedroom was divided into two more rooms, each of which had two beds, and there was also a balcony with a beautiful view of the street and potted plants on that same balcony. On the walls there was blue wallpaper with stars and months. There were even desks for homework. After finishing admiring their common room, the girls began to get acquainted.
β My name is Sally the Dark. I am one of the colorists of the planet Taraban. I live and work with my mom and dad in our restaurant.
β I'm Blaze the cat. Princess of the planet Solaris. What's your name, girls?
β Nice to meet you. My name is Tikal Shaman. By the way, I'm also a princess. Princess of the planet Ash-three-O. I flew here for the first time after learning about the school and applied here in advance. My parents donβt yet know that Iβm studying here, but I left them a farewell letter and I hope they find it and read it.
β I'm Tangle the lamour. I am an ordinary mortal from the planet Melody. I love music, songs and dances. And this is my close and best friend. β Tangle pointed to the she-wolf and she also introduced herself next:
β I am Whisper Dewulf from the planet Mechamus. I'm a technology fairy. Well, at least I want to become her. That's why I came here to study, just like Tangle. If suddenly you have your own devices, for example a telephone, and it suddenly breaks down, then contact me and I will fix it. Well, at least I'll try.
β My name is Cosmo Sinderian. I am from the planet Forestes, where living humanoid plants like me live. I'm also one of nature's fairies.
The skunkfly itself immediately flew out of Sally's backpack. The four new girls he knew seemed interesting to him and he examined them. The girls were amazed to see the little animal.
β Wow! A real skunkamuh! β Tangle smiled.
β Iβm shocked myself. I thought that they had died out long ago and had never seen anything like her before in my life. β Cosmo answers, takes an empty pot of soil and asks: β Are you hungry? β she asks him and skunamukh nodded. The Cinderian woman passed her hand over the pot, releasing a couple of sparkles and an onion grew from the pot. Skunamukh was delighted, plucked one onion at a time and ate it with such a pleasant appetite.
β Does he like to eat onions? β the chipmunk is surprised.
β And not just onions. β Whisper answers. β Skunkflies can still eat berries, fruits, wasps, hornets, mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, garlic, toxic waste without any harm to themselves or other consequences, and in rare cases they can be fed something sweet.
β A! Understood. I'll take it into account. β says Sally the Dark. β Now Iβll know and try to find him this so he can eat.
β He became attached to her and became her pet. β Blaze explained to them about Sally and the skunkamfly. β There were bonds between them.
β Is it true? We also have bonds with our animals. β says Tikal.
The girls take their backpacks and open them. Other animals appeared from the backpacks. The orange echidna had a pink kitten with wings. The eyes were made of seven colors of the rainbow, and the pupils were not round, but in the shape of a star.
β This is catapix. Name is Lapkin. We met him in my father's library. He was lost there, an orphan without parents and hiding from everyone from my people. And when we met, he became attached to me and I kept him for myself.
Whisper's animal looked like a blue sloth. True, this sloth, despite its name, was not very slow, but on the contrary, it moved faster and also had wings, and at the fifth point there was a squirrelβs tail.
β It's fast. His name is Flash. He used to live in a zoo on the planet Jimbos, but there he was treated poorly and not loved at all, unlike his relatives. He ran away and met me by chance. I then hid it and lied to the guards that I saw it fly away in the other direction. Then he became attached to me and began to live with me.
Tangle the little animal had a flying dog, a young Doberman with wings like an eagle, and the paws were like a cat's, thanks to which he always landed softly on the ground and floor.
β This is daberab. Name is Fly. He used to live on the street in a dark alley, and I went outside every day and sometimes fed stray animals. Including him. Afterwards he got used to me and walked with me every day until a bond emerged between us. Well, could I really leave him or just leave him on the street?
And Cosmo had a flying red seahorse with wings like a dragonfly. The little animal often kissed its owner on the cheeks, which made her laugh. When the horse stopped and the mistress began to scratch his belly and tickle him, she explained about him:
β My little animal is a flying mornek. His name is Kissy because he likes to kiss a lot. People like him live everywhere on my planet, but among them only he has become attached to me.
β You are all lucky. You have your own animals. β the cat smiled and envied, and then sighed heavily. β Iβm far from all of you. After all, Iβm probably the only one who doesnβt have her own little animal.
β Don't be upset! β Sally put her hand on her friendβs shoulder. β Sooner or later you will also find your little animal, who will also choose you.
β I know. I don't despair. I'm just jealous of all of you. β the princess admitted, smiling.
β Itβs okay to be jealous sometimes, Blaze. There's no shame in this. β Whisper answers.
β Listen, why did you... Well... β Tikal was a little shy, afraid to ask such a question. β Naked.
β Why mock like that? I'm not naked at all, I'm covered in fur. β Sally replies, a little offended.
β No no no. She wasn't mocking. It's just that we all wear clothes, but you don't. That's what's interesting to us. β the cat answers her. β But if this topic is sore for you, then fine. You don't have to talk about it!
β Come on! I'll tell you! β answers the chipmunk. β I just donβt really like wearing clothes. And why should I wear it if I am covered with wool, which itself does a good job of covering my assets. Except that I can wear shoes and gloves on rare occasions.
β We envy you! Unfortunately, we all have short hair. That's why we still wear clothes. β Tangle explained.
β And I donβt have any fur at all. I'm a plant with bare skin. β Sinderian answers.
β I have a lot of fur that covers my assets. I just like wearing clothes, so I always dress and wear them out of habit. β Tikal explained.
β I also have big hair, but I wear clothes because thatβs how I was raised. I was taught to always dress correctly and appropriately for the day, so that I would maintain correct and mannered tones. β Blaze explained.
β At least you're lucky in this regard. β the she-wolf praised the chipmunk. β At least, unlike all of us, you are free to decide for yourself whether to dress or not. And also you are not ashamed of your advantages.
β Thank you.
Cosmo went to the balcony, not only to get some air, but also to lightly run her hand over the potted plants on that very balcony. She felt how good and pleasant those plants were. It seems that despite the fact that no one has lived in this room before, they are still well taken care of. She decided that now she would take care of them herself. Kissy brought the mistress a blue watering can with cool water and Cosmo began to water the plants.
Sally showed Whisper her mobile phone and she checked it and found out that the phone was an old model the year before, because now a new model had been invented a long time ago. Using the magic of technology, Whisper converted an old phone model into a modern one and gave it back to Sally. She was shocked that the phone was like new, and also that all the files from phone numbers, accounts and photos with videos were saved. In addition, Whisper installed in advance not only a VPN, but also protection against hacking, so that no one could hack her data even through a VPN and post it on the Internet.
Tangle and Tikal turned on the same music on the player and decided to teach Blaze to dance correctly in heels, so as not to break them. Tikal, by the way, for a princess, was quite athletic and active. Apparently she lived in her palace, not sitting on the throne all day long, and also sometimes doing something useful, like many mortal peoples. Then Whisper, since today was still Sunday and there would be no lessons for today, suggested that all six girls go to the city on Traffic. Perhaps even go to a restaurant and have a meal together.
β Let's. β Sally agreed. β By the way, they make pizza on this planet and they know what it is.
β Of course. β Whisper confirms. β Except that we ourselves have never seen or tried pizza before, but we have heard about it. If it is prepared here and sold here, then we will try it for the first time and find out what it tastes like.
β Iβve never even heard of pizza before. β Cosmo explained. β You donβt know what this is?
β Pizza is a kind of round-shaped pie or bread. On top there are sausages, cabbage leaves, a little ketchup and mayonnaise. A very tasty dish. It was first invented on Earth in Italy and there it was the most delicious and valuable dish, until the whole world of the planet learned about it and they began to cook and eat it all over the world. And then our entire universe got inspired and decided to start cooking too. True, not all planets cook and eat it. Whisper explained.
β M-m-m... β Tangle smiled and stroked her stomach with her hand-shaped tail. β I already like it, even though I havenβt tried it.
β So why are we sitting here? Let's go now. β Blaze suggested.
β Let's go! β everyone said at once.
