Julie should be happy, she knows this. She helped repel an alien invasion and saved a teacher or two in the process, but as she stares at the crater where the public school that's supposed to above her school should be, she finds it hard to be happy. She hopes no one got hurt and she hopes the school's okay. She could ask someone but she can't stop staring at the crater.
"...And it was just his cape," she hears another student, Zach, telling her, Emerald Gauntlet and her best friend Poly, "sticking out from under all those rocks! And they said he had a virus or something, too!"
Wait, he's talking about Moon Shadow isn't he? she thinks just as Emerald Gauntlet says, "But he's Moon Shadow! He can't be...well, dead. Can he?"
"I thought he was supposed to be able to turn into a cloud of bad dreams or something. That's what Suzi told me, anyway," Poly adds.
"I never saw him do that," Julie says still in a bit of shock and not wanting to believe this latest bad news. "But Mister Cranston should know, he was down there. Let's go ask him." Everyone agrees so they walk over to where Mr. Cranston, the school principle, is talking with a teacher of theirs, Ms. Kyle (who also happens to be Julie's favorite).
They make it over there in time to overhear Ms. Kyle say, "Then we're done? I can leave tomorrow?"
"I think the school can make do without you." Mr. Cranston replies.
"Thank you. I've been planning to get away from this place for months now."
Shocked, the kids freeze as the two adults walk away. Finally, Poly says, "Miss Kyle is quitting our school?!"
"This is horrible!" Julie cries.
"Does this mean I'm not getting a 'C' in her class anymore?" Emerald Gauntlet adds.
