Finally finished the story, forget the stupid prologue (since it has nothing to do with this) here's the real product. For the entire day, Takai couldn't get his mind off of the masterpiece. As soon as he got home and ate dinner, Takai carefully scrolled around his Chemistry textbooks, trying to find out what kind of ingredients the paint was made of. He even tried searching online, but nothing came up exactly like what he was looking for. He then tried looking up on Freakbook and Boogle+ for Maya Sparks, which lead him to her email. "If I can't find how the paint was made from textbooks nor online sources, I should ask her myself" He wrote an email then sent it to her. While he was working on the computer, his sister Neko happened to be standing behind his door, peeking through the keyhole. She had never seen her brother so determined to do something other than beating a video game level, so definitely something fishy was going on. Neko walked into the room. "Takai, is something on your mind?" She asked him with a poker face. "No, what makes you think that?" Takai replied, staring at his sis suspiciously. "It's just not you when you're working on something not related to your game addict needs like that. Tell me now, lil bro, tell me, tell me!"said Neko as she poked her brother's face. "If you really wanna know, ok then. You see, just this morning, I saw the most amazing thing ever! Would you believe me if I told you I saw an illuminating graffiti that sings when you touch it! Its colors surround your hand, dancing to every beat, isn't it incredible? I even get to meet the artist who painted it, a fellow student at Monster High named Maya Sparks. She was a really nice alien." said Takai "Hahaha, yeah right? you must have been day dreaming. Probably from playing Sci-Fi games too much." Neko laughed at the idea, making Takai very annoyed. "If she doesn't exist nor her art, then how come this exists?"He pointed at his computer screen to show his sis Maya's Freakbook and Boogle+ accounts "Don't get fooled by photo manip, I'm convinced that alien is real but not too sure about the art, though" Neko shook her head. "I really saw that artwork, sis, somewhere in the school catacombs. You know, the place we like to party? Oh look, she replied. She said she'll tell me what the paint's made of if I meet her at the same spot where that piece was after school tomorrow. Come with us and I'll prove it to you."said Takai. "Fine, I bet ten bucks if that isn't true, you get ten bucks if it's real" sighed Neko. The next day, Takai took his sister to the marble wall where he first got his glimpse of the painting. But how unlucky was he, for the graffiti was no longer there. "But..." he muttered. "You owe me 10 bucks, bro. Now let's go home, you're wasting my time." said Neko. Just then, Maya happened to be getting to the spot. "So you're here Takai, and with someone. Where did my art go? Well, I washed it away. Don't worry, I only did that so I can get some space to draw. You might as well try it yourself, since I left a lot space for you and your friend there."she said with a smile on her face. "I'm actually his sister, Neko. And you are must be Maya Sparks? You've gotta be kidding me, those paint buckets are empty! So you draw in thin air and the picture just shows itself up?"Neko raised an eyebrow. "Not exactly, but I can show you how it really works. The key to making sparks is in the artist's imagination" Maya removed her gloves and puts her hands under the candlelight. A rainbow aura appeared, swirling around. Maya began doodling on the wall, a keyboard was formed, so were a guitar and a drum kit. A jazzy tune echoed on the walls, leaving the Meowth siblings stunned. She then put her hands into the bucket and filled it with rainbow paint. "It's impossible for normal paint to be contained like that, the colors will be mixed together!"said Neko. "This isn't normal paint. It isn't made of artificial ingredients, it's made of light. My species have a minority called sparkers, we can harness light and turn it into glowing paint. The more light, the more paint. Simple as that. Every drop has its tune and by touching it, you've just activated its music properties."Maya explained. "I'm sorry for doubting you, bro. This really is...real. Here's your ten bucks"said Neko "Forget the bet, sis. Just enjoy yourself here."replied Takai "Why don't you guys try it yourself? I've got the paint, some brushes, a refillable spray can or you can use your fingers if you like." said Maya. "Oh sorry, we can't. It's high time we headed home, otherwise mom's gonna kill us for not eating dinner."said Neko."you can bring these paints and brushes home free of charge, just consider as a gift from a friend Wait, I have one last thing I want to show you! It won't take too long." said Maya. She climbed on top of the vertical wall, then slid down from a height that is lethal to a normie (or most monsters for that matter) without a scratch, leaving a trail of paint, lots of it. "It's impossible, but how...?" Takai was both impressed and a bit scared of what Maya did. "The paint itself works like an adhesive, but I don't reckon anyone should try this other than another sparker."said Maya. "We should be going now, so see you later." said Neko as she pushed Takai's back, telling him to leave. What Maya did not know that one stunt has left a bad impression on Takai. He felt a bit cut up about what she said about "only sparkers can do this", which made him envious and wanted to prove her wrong. The next couple weeks, Takai started requesting large batches of paint from Maya. He told her it was for a big school project involving a lot of painting, but she knew that was too much for even a small mural. Turns out, he was trying to use it for the sliding stunt. He shot her an email, telling her to meet him late a night at his house without telling her about the stunt, the time when everyone has fallen asleep,. That was to ensure that he wouldn't get arrested for "promoting dangerous acts", since a lot people didn't pay attention to things around them during late times and so did most cops. When Maya arrived at the Meowths' doorstep, she heard Takai calling from above, he snook out of his bedroom and now he was on the roof! "You think only sparkers can do the slide, think again!" He leaped, using the spray gun he bought several days before to help him spread the rainbow paint so he can stick to the wall. In an unexpected turn of events, the paint ran out, meaning Takai was falling to his doom. Maya quickly shined a torch on her hands. Harnessing the light from the moon, neighboring street lamps and the flashlight, she created a wave of paint to slow him down, which slid him down safely."Thank...thank you for saving me"Takai muttered."I didn't say that because I doubted your abilities, it's because you won't have enough paint to succeed without killing yourself, even if you have a great supply of it. A sparker is able to constantly make paint which keeps them sliding at a safe speed, whereas other monsters can't. If they don't have any special gravity defying technique of their own, they won't stand a chance of surviving. Werecats like you are able to jump from incredible heights but from that roof is off bounds for you guys because of your weight." she said. It wasn't long before Neko and Mrs Meowth woke up due to the noise. As they look through their window, they saw rainbow paint splattered all over the wall. When Mrs Meowth looked down, she also saw Takai completely wet and Maya below. "Takai, young man, you are grounded. Shower immediately and get back in bed!" she shouted from the window. "Aw man. I'm sorry for bothering at this time and I'm sorry for doing such a stupid thing." Takai apologized to Maya. "It's ok, but I hope you learned a lesson from all this. Good night to you then." said Maya. From that day on, they became the best of friends and they both grew older and wiser from their experiences.
 * Takai was running around the school hallways looking for his Chemistry classroom. He wandered from place to place, to then find a strange light emitting from a dark corner. "Curiosity kills the cat, but who cares?"-he thought to himself "I'm early for class so I can still have time even after a little peek." Takai followed the light, which lead him to the catacombs, where a rather elaborate glowing graffiti of Kawaii animals, the Japanese flag, androids and the famous 3D animated singer, Hatsune Miku was, on a cracked marble wall. "Ay, it must have been drawn by an fellow otaku. Whoever painted this has put a lot of effort into it. It's such a shame no one saw this. And this neon paint is..." Takai touched the graffiti, and before he could finish his sentence, he realized the artwork itself started to sing (Miku's World Is Mine). "Surely this can't be Operetta, she plays a different kind of music" he thought. A colorful aura surrounded his hand, sparkling to the beat the music. It was not like anything he had seen before. Surely he had seen glowing graffiti, but he had never seen one that makes music or one with magical aura. He stood there, marveling at its pure mystery. Suddenly, Takai felt a hard slap on his right shoulder."Stunning, ain't it?" An alien girl with red hair was behind him. "Do I know you?" He asked the ghoul. "No, we haven't met each other before. But seeing that some manster finally found his way to my work, I just thought I introduce myself. The name's Maya Sparks, what's yours?" the ghoul extended her hand "Um, Takai, Takai Meowth. You made this? It's the most amazing thing I have ever seen! How do you do that?" He shook her hand, screaming out of ecstasy. Before Maya could give him an answer, the school bell rang. "Oh look, it's time for my art class. And it's also time you should be going to your class, too." Maya looked at her watch, then rushed off. Takai stood still for a while, then he himself ran off as well because he was late for Chemistry on the first day upon his return to the school! "I can't be late on the first day of the year!" He cried.
