The monster whimpered, and Shelly’s eyes filled with tears. Newton took Peewee’s cage from her.

“Do you want me to do it?” Newton asked.

Shelly nodded, and Newton took Peewee’s cage from her and held it in front of the swirling portal.

“Good-bye, Peewee!” he said, and then he let go of the cage.

Whoosh! The portal sucked it up, and then closed.

Nobody said anything for a minute. Then Shelly spoke up.

“Thanks, everyone.” Her voice sounded sad. But then, to Newton’s surprise, a determined look came over her face.

“Don’t forget we have a newspaper meeting today after classes,” she said.

“We could certainly take a day off, Shelly,” Higgy said.

Shelly shook her head. “No way. I’ve got something important to write about now,” she replied. “In fact, I’m going to skip breakfast and start on it right away. I’ll see you later!”

Shelly ran ahead of them.

Higgy’s stomach rumbled. “Breakfast! I almost forgot to eat it. I’ll meet you there, guys!” And he hurried away faster than Newton had ever seen him move.

Newton and Theremin walked behind him at a normal pace.

“Poor Shelly,” Theremin said. “This really stinks.”

“It does,” Newton said. “Maybe when Ms. Mumtaz calms down, she’ll let Shelly reopen the animal rescue lab. I mean, Shelly really helped those animals!”

Then the school building came into view, and Theremin started beeping.

“Are you okay?” Newton asked.

“I’m fine,” Theremin said. “Remember when I told you about the fluctuating gravity waves I was detecting? I set my sensors to go off if they detected any change in the school’s gravity. That’s what’s happening now.”

“Why would gravity be fluctuating?” Newton asked.

“I don’t know,” Theremin admitted. “I’ve also been recording some strange noises throughout the school. Something weird is definitely going on.” He paused. “Do you have your camera? I’m getting a really strong signal right now. We could follow it and see if we can find out what’s happening.”

Newton nodded. “Yeah, I’ve been carrying it everywhere with me lately,” he said.

Theremin opened up a compartment on his chest and pressed some buttons. The beeping became a steady tone.

“All right. I’m locked in on the signal,” he said. “Let’s go.”

Newton followed Theremin into the school, down one hallway, then another, and then another. Finally Theremin stopped in front of Professor Flubitus’s classroom.

“Flubitus!” Newton cried. “Figures he’s got something to do with this.”

Newton peeked inside the classroom. He didn’t see Flubitus, but there was a green, glowing light coming out of the supply closet. Theremin saw it too.

“Let’s check it out,” Theremin said in a low voice.

The boys quietly entered the classroom. They stood on either side of the supply closet door and tried to take a peek at what was happening inside without being seen.

The closet was no closet—it was a secret room! Inside the room was a giant, green, glowing hoop crackling with energy.

“What is that?” Theremin wondered.

Newton activated the camera, whispering, “Click!”

The camera hovered and whirred as it took pictures of the strange, green hoop. And while the camera was photographing, something even stranger happened.

Professor Flubitus stepped out
