"Jacklyn!!!! Jacklyn!!!! Jacklyn!!!"
"What are you Kids doing out of line?"
"Please don't tell our Parents."
"It's just...…."
"We're bored!!!!!!!!"
"Madeline."
"....It's the truth. It's the first day of School, and….."
"It seems like it's all just lectures?"
"Exactly.
Every single person wants to empower us with their own Speeches, but if they want to, they can do that tomorrow. For right now, I want to enjoy these last rays of sunshine. Please?"
"Is there anything you need from us to help you set up?"
"Setup?
Kids, sports do not need to be set up. All you need is a good surface....a ball...and strong legs.
Dodgeball anyone?"
"I thought you…"
"What? You don't think I also wasn't listening? You can't put a label on me."
"You're right."
*Phueeeee...….tish*
"Huuuh?"
"And you can't get anything past me either.
You know the rules. First one to hit is the last one to get picked.
Line up."
"Go easy on us, please?"
"You Kidding.
I want to shake the roof."
"Jacklyn, we are many stories below it. It will take all of us. We just don't have enough of a voice to go that loud."
"Then be like a girl."
"What?"
"Are we always quiet?"
"No. My sister breaks my eardrums when she sings."
"That's because we're happy, and want to scare you. Also intimidate you, but mostly because we are happy. Are you happy?"
"I'll be happy when I finally dethrone you."
*Phuuue*
"Snatch."
"You're gonna have to try a lot harder than that."
"Okay, you have shown you are good at deflecting one of us.....but what about all five of us?"
"Kid, I am the Queen of multitasking."
"Then you wouldn't mind showing us."
".....Kids?
…..Kids?
I.....there's nothing to show."
"Wooo. What's going on here?"
"My Kids are missing, and you all act like nothing's wrong.
The Security here is a joke. No cameras anywhere. No fire alarms. No smoke detectors, and no calls for help. I thought these Uniforms of yours were designed to save peoples lives, not freak them out.
You may be the teachers, but I am the parent...…a responsibility that goes well beyond just my own four walls. So, you can stay here; but I am going to find him…..myself."
"Us too."
"Guys, wait. They're…."
"No."
".........We'll help you look."
"Search and rescue on the first day? What is this? A School, or a Zoo?"
"Shhh."
"Jake, they would never just let kids run off. There has to be a reasoning behind this, and I am going to find out what. You coming?"
"Right behind you."
"Can I come? Can I come?"
"No."
"But you can help."
"You are great at talking to yourself."
"Hey…"
"So, act like you're talking to me. That way Parents won't turn around and be worried."
"Got it."
"Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!"
*Ooof*
"But you can't hug me. I'm invisible....remember?"
"Be back soon. If not then I'll get bored of talking and start crying."
"Promise."
"Quick, in here. Every security is always on the lowest floor away from prying eyes, and we have tried all the floors; and seen all the rooms."
"Except one."
"Race you down there, but go cautiously."
"Detective Jake, on the case."
"Christie Nifty, always searching."
"Well, are you going to tell us where they are?"
"Ummmm."
"That's what I thought.
*Ding*
"You don't know. And you….."
"Me?"
"I thought you were supposed to help in times like this. What a Joke.
*Errrrrriiiiaascckkkk*
What a Joke. What a Joke. What a Joke."
