He announced that they would race across a river to his palace on January 9th, and the winners would be assigned guard duty over the Heavenly Gate, to make sure that deities didn’t sneak down to the mortal world. Of course, the animals all got excited and couldn’t wait for January 9th. The Cat and the Rat had been neighbors, and never really got along. The Cat would always bully the Rat, and the Rat was too afraid to say anything, but quietly plotted revenge. The day before the race, the Cat ordered the Rat to tell him and keep him informed about when he would be leaving to the race the next day. The Rat promised to tell the Cat, but on the morning of January 9th, he was so excited that he left without informing the cat. No matter how early he was, the Rat was unable to cross the swift current of the river. Seeing the Ox start to cross, the Rat jumped into the Ox’s ear. The gentle Ox didn’t mind it, and started running towards the Jade Emperor's palace. When the palace gates came into sight, the Rat jumped off and scampered to the feet of the Emperor, winning first place. Meanwhile, the poor Cat slept through the whole thing. Did the Rat accidentally ‘forget’, or was it on purpose? [hr] [center][h3][i]Modern Day[/i][/h3][/center] A small quaint town in America is home to one of the most… unique, boarding schools. Their total student count still under two-hundred, they advertised like mad for anyone who wanted to apply. While their class curriculum was lacking for subjects such as Mathematics, English and Sciences, their extra-curricular programs were borderlining the best in the continent. While most schools had clubs such as a study group, student council, one or two sports teams and maybe even a few odd ones like an anime club, this school had them all. How they had the money to fund all the clubs was unknown, but one thing was for certain. Their clubs were astounding. Their Chemistry club had an unlimited amount of chemicals and top-quality lab equipment, whilst their Archery club had enough arrows to single-handedly win a war. Their Astrology club… It has the most interesting lore books, ranging from western to eastern astrology. A telescope that rivals the ones seen in astrology centers. Even maps of constellations posted around the room, and a constellation projector itself. Horoscope calculators, compatibility charts, you name it, and they probably have it.
