    Mission One: Pipes
    Noiz was at the dojo watching Rob train his students. She was lost in her world of fantasies about him. And judging by her smile, it was pretty good. "Oh yes!" she thought. "Hot mousey!" "Noiz-san!" she heard someone call out. The kitty looked up. Callum was looking right at her. She became cranky in a flash. "What?" she snapped coldly. The boy looked at her dimly. "I only wanted to know if you were part of the Kendo class or not." he replied. Noiz calmed down again. "Oh." she said. "No." Callum raised an eyebrow at her. "Then, why are you here?" Silence sat between them. Then, Noiz replied, "If I told you, I'd have to kill you later!" Then, the kitty hurried away. Callum kept staring at her. "Okay..." he said uneasily. Then, he went to his class.

    Noiz wandered the halls for a little while. A drop landed on her chocolate face. The kitty slowly looked up. The pipe in the main hall was dripping. Noiz became pissed. "I complained about these stupid pipes seven times yesterday!" she thought in anger. "Why the hell haven't they been fixed?" Well, that was another trip to Artemis's office.

    "ARTEMIS!!!" Noizchild screamed out as she threw open the house lord's office door. "WE'VE GOT TO TALK!!!" The greedy pig looked up from admiring himself in the mirror. "Oh Noiz!" he exclaimed. "It's you! What's wrong now?" Noiz stormed forward and slammed her hand onto his desk. The pig looked up in shock. "The pipes!" she snapped. "What is the hold up?" Artemis tried to play dumb. He shrugged innocently. "I don't know what you are talking about!" he declared dumbly. Noiz didn't buy it. "I kept writing suggestions to you," she protested. "Where are they?" The pig became nervous. "Uh..." he spoke up and stammered. The kitty became suspicious. She began to search the office. The pig froze in his place. "Oh shit!" he thought. "She knows!" Noiz hunted around the office until she came to his desk. Her instincts perked up highly. She marched over to it. The woman was bout to open the first drawer when Artemis arrested her small wrist. Noiz glared at him coldly.

    "Take your hand off of me now!" she snapped. Scared of what could happen, Artemis complied. Then, the kitty opened the drawer. And low and behold. there was a stack of all of her complaints. The headmistress glared at him in vile hate. The pig laughed nervously at her. "Opps!" he replied. "LISTEN!!!" Noiz snapped. "FIX THE BLOODY PIPES OR I'LL BRING HELL  TO YOU!!!" Then, she stormed out in a huff!

    That got everyone's attention at Animal House. For a year now, the boys adjusted to the leaking pipes above. Now, everyone noticed again. Some were annoyed. Others were angry. "I'm going to kick somebody's ass!" Dodge yelled out in the cafeteria.

    Later, the pipes were not fixed. Noiz noticed when a drop fell on her food. She looked up at the pipe and glared at it coldly. "What do you expect?" Rob asked her with a shrug. "You can complain to Artemis all you want, but all he cares about is money, himself, and looks!" Right then, Noiz got a great idea. She grinned devilishly. Rob noticed her face. "Momo?" he asked nervously. What are you plotting?" "You know," the kitty replied. "I think the pig needs a little water!" The mouse became concerned. "What does that mean?" he asked. His kitty grinned at him. "Oh don't worry," she answered. "You'll see by tomorrow!" Rob kept watching her nervously. "That's what I'm afraid of!" he thought.

    That evening, the whole campus was winding down. Most of the animals were sleeping in the late hours. Noiz checked to see if Rob was still sleeping. He was out like a light. The kitty smiled to herself. "Good!" she thought. Then, she snuck out of bed, got dressed, and quietly left the dorm. She made it down to Artemis's office. The cat had a key to his office already. She lightly pushed the door open. Everything was dark inside, but Noiz saw perfectly. The pipe was right behind the pig's desk. Noiz grinned to herself in victory. "Bingo!" she thought. The headmistress drew out her wrench, sneaked over to the pipe, and got to work.

    By morning, everything seemed normal. Noiz waited patiently. Rob kept watching her. "Morning Rob-kun!" she called to him in the cafeteria. "Okay," he spoke up. "What did you do now?" The cat smiled at him. "Oh," she replied sweetly. "You'll out in five... four... three... two... one." A shriek from the hall filled the room. Noiz smirked in joy. "And here it is!" she called. All of the animals looked to see Artemis running in screaming. Some were concerned. "What's with him?" Callum asked. "You'll see!" Noiz called. The pig was too shaken to speak. Then, June, his secretary, stepped in. She too looked upset. "Artemis's office has been flooded out overnight!" she called out. The kitty tried not to laugh. Artemis trembled again. "All of it destroyed!" he moaned out. "My oak desk, my leather chair, my new carpet, everything is ruined!" Then, he cried again. Noiz coughed a little bit. Everyone turned to her. The kitty smiled. "This wouldn't have happened if you fixed the pipes when I asked the first time!" she said aloud. "Now looked what happened!" The others agreed with her. Artemis stared at all of them. He and Rob just figured out what happened. "So you're saying..." Artemis said. Everybody nodded. The landlord sank to his knees in defeat. How could he lose?

    By tomorrow, the pipes were getting repaired all over the dorm house. Then at afternoon, the pipes no longer dripped. Some missed it a little bit, others didn't. Noiz smiled to herself sweetly. "One down," she thought. "Five to go!"
