Why you can't get away with destroying half the moon

News Reporter: "The Case of the disappearance of half the moon finally comes to a conclusion with Hinderpol finding out that it was in fact due to an antimatter beam straight from a certain high school named Moldi high in Laudlyland country. Agents found out that it was set off by a certain first year high schooler named Jan Keiro. An antimatter gun was also found from under the bed of this high schooler. A case was booked against Jan Keiro and her accomplice Heron Berthy(?!) who is said to have masterminded the program."

The camera now zoomed towards the high school and showed a handcuffed Jan Keiro and Heron Berthy getting in to a police van. They were surrounded by reporters and photographers on all sides.

Berthy(looking around frantically) : "What just happened? I am innocent. Please believe me officer! I just woke up! I am only the leader of a Ghost club! "

Officer(taking down notes): "I see. So you called your underground criminal organisation the 'Ghost club' ? And you were the leader?"

Berthy :"What? No! Don't write it down!"

Keiro: "I am sorry everyone. I am sorry."

The camera now showed the police van driving away with Keiro with her head hanging down and Berthy looking stupefied. The van was being followed by am angry mob of environmental activists, poets, writers, lovers and people who loved the moon in general. They were holding placards saying, 'Hang them!'

News reporter : "Here we interview, the student council President of Moldi High, Matt Moncee. What do you think of the incident President? "

Moncee(looking extra handsome on screen) : "That Jan Keiro was a bad apple from the start. She was this psychopath who had the habit of stalking me.Last week, she actually took me to the rooftop and showed me the moon. I did not know then that she was looking at her prey."

Reporter: "And here we have Julis Roju who was the childhood neighbour of the accused. Roju was falsely accused as the perpetrator by miss Jan."

Roju (tears in his eyes) : "I've been frequently bullied by Keiro since childhood for being mentally handicapped."

The reporter's eyes welled up with tears. She patted Roju on the shoulder and moved on to Shimlee.

Reporter :"This person, Ms. Gara Shimlee is also said to be on of her victims."

Shimlee :"A month back she hired thugs to attack our Students Council President. Apart from that I do not know her all that well..."

May Rusa(suddenly popping up in front of the camera) : "Also, this senior Berthy forced all of us to join his criminal 'Ghost club'."

An officer sat opposite Berthy across what looked like a round table. A light bulb hung from the ceiling just above Berthy, and its light was just enough for everyone to see Berthy but not enough for Berthy to see anyone. It was a primitive set up considering the times.

Officer:"Do you know what you've been arrested for?"

Berthy :"As a matter of fact,I don't get it."

Officer:"When did you start planning to destroy the moon?"

Berthy:"Why would I try to destroy the... moon?"

Officer :"So you were planning to destroy the earth, and was testing it out first on the moon?"

Berthy:"Look, I was not planning to destroy anything!"

Officer:"So your agenda was to instill fear and terror in people by destroying the moon and have all the countries surrender to you?"

Berthy: "What?!"

Officer :"Do you have an alibi as to what you were doing at the time of the accident?"

Berthy:"I was sleeping."

Officer:"What were you doing before that?."

Berthy:"I was sleeping."

Officer:"Then after the accident happened?"

Berthy :"Sleeping."

Officer :"Do you really think I'll believe this lie that you were sleeping all the time?"

Berthy:"But that's exactly what I do everyday ...As a matter of fact I'm feeling a bit sleepy right now."

Officer:"Even in the midst of all this?"

Berthy:"How about I take a quick nap and we sort this thing out Officer?"

Officer:"You've got some nerve kid. Your accomplice is already dead and you..."

Berthy:"Oh? Keiro is dead?"

Officer: "Yes. She was publicly executed without trial.It was also a live broadcast."

Keiro:"What?!"

~~~~~~~~___________~~~~~~~

Keiro woke up with a gasp. She looked around her.The lights were out but she could still see that she was in her dorm room. Keiro took her phone out and it showed the time of 2.30 am.

Thank God it was just a nightmare! These days she was not sleeping well.Keiro put her head out and looked at Shimlee who was sleeping in the bunk bed below her.

Keiro :"Hey Shimlee?"

Shimlee:...

Keiro: "Shimlee! Wake up!"

Shimlee :"Mmm?..."

When Shimlee woke up she seemed pissed.

Shimlee:"Why're you calling me in the middle of the night Jan Keiro! It better be something important!"

Keiro:"Hey Shimlee!"

Shimlee(groaning) :"What's the matter with you ?"

Keiro:"You still love me right?"

Shimlee:"Go to bed you idiot!"

Shimlee turned in her bed trying to get back to sleep.

Keiro:"You won't stab me in the back right? I'm still your best friend right? Hey Shimlee!"

Shimlee suddenly got up with a look on her face and Keiro gasped.

Shimlee:"I don't know about you suddenly wanting affirmations of friendship in the middle of the night but if you keep at it Keiro, I swear I'll come up there and stab you!"

Shimlee went back to sleep and Keiro fell back on her bed pouting. She took her phone and messaged Roju.
