Your pov

While the sun was starting to rise, we were climbing some ladders on a billboard, Dave was on Benson's bag while I had my teeth gently on Mandu's neck

Benson: three-point-two-six-two. If your father was gonna leave a message, couldn't it have been something more simple? Like an arrow?

Kipo: then anybody could follow it. No, this is perfect...

We finally made it up, Dave jumped off Benson's bag and I grabbed Mandu in my hands then let her onto the floor. We lean on the railing and stared at the massive sign

Kipo: ...it's big enough so he knew I would see it, but only I would know it's a message. Except, I have no clue what the message is

Wolf: but it must mean something to you. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here

Kipo: in light years, three-point-two-six-two is the length of a parsec

I tilt my head and look at Kipo

Me: a what-sec?

Kipo: parsec. It's an astronomical unit. Dad's a but of a science nerd

I stop tilting my head

Dave: yeah, we're aware

Dave jumps on top of the railing and sits on it

Kipo: it also happens to be my birthday. March twenty-six, at two am. That's why it was my dad's favourite number

Kipo turns around and leans on the railing

Kipo: and guess what day today is, Mandu?

Mandu squeals

Benson turns around and leans on the railing

Dave: laundry day!

Benson: whoa... Kipo, is today your b-day?

Kipo: if you mean, did my dad and I decorate this date in my calender back home with balloon stickers? Yes!

Dave: Kipo's first birthday top side. Don't know why, but it sounds big

Benson: we should go out! For a city where nothing's open ever, there's surprisingly a lot to do here

Kipo sits down and dangles her legs off the side

Kipo: ugh, I can't celebrate until we figure out this clue

Kipo says in a deep voice: Kipo, the answer is in front of you. Apply yourself

Kipo: I'm trying, dad. You know you made this really difficult to solve

Kipo says in a deep voice: because challenges build character

Kipo: I don't need any more character. I just need to find you!

She groans

Benson: uh, did she just have a whole conversation with herself?

Wolf walks over to the sign and destroys the clue with, Stalky, making Benson and Dave gasp. Wolf moves her hair to the side

Wolf: now we're the only ones who know about this clue, and only we can follow it. You're welcome

Wolf walks away

Dave: there's a word I'm looking for. Uh, what is it?

Dave yells: overkill!

Kipo goes in front of Benson and Dave

Kipo: parsec. Parsec, parsec

I transform into a tiger and layed in a corner. I closed my eyes and fell asleep, while Kipo was doing her science stuff
