"Ok, Class. That's all for today. Thank you.
*Berddiiiiiaaaaannnnnngggggg*
I hope you all have a great day, and I cannot wait to see you all tomorrow to see what you have learned."
"What about me?"
"Broom.....sponge...….pan....bucket."
"Yes, Jalapeno."
"Most of these have been nothing more than shelf ornaments who can only see as far as their classroom door. They have no idea what the Kids did before they entered the door, nor after.
Don't think of yourself as cleaning up after their spills, but more as aiding their benefits."
"Aiding? What kind of benefits?"
"You'll find out.
And don't worry about bed. I have one for you upstairs."
"But I am not a student. I'm just a….."
"Peter, those are just words. We all have a past. It's what we do with our present that decides our future. Nothing more.
When the Kids start decorating, you can join them."
"Tha….tha…..thank you, Jalapeno."
"You feel disheartened that your friends aren't with you?"
"They're not friends, Jalapeno, but they are also not my siblings."
"I understand.
Once you finish here, bring five of your 'siblings' and we'll take care of them as well.
I'm sure Miss Lane would be grateful to get a few more hours of sleep at night."
"And during the day.
Here!!!!"
"Ummmmm."
"Don't you want to hug me or something? A handshake…"
"I know. Signifies a deal, but helping me and my friends in return for our labor. I will…."
*Oof*
"Not have that word, nor that symbolism used in my classroom nor this school, understand? You give a hug, and forget that."
"Yes, Jalapeno."
"Now get your siblings and meet me back here. You can talk, but don't dillydally. Got it?"
"They will be so happy to hear the good news."
"Just don't go crashing in on them like you did me.
*Clink*
...A music spell. Hmmmm. That will be ten times stronger than my sleep potion.
Lolli, bring Peter to me."
"Immedieately, Ruby?"
"Don't let him worry. I want it to be natural. Just a....proper thank you."
"Yes, Ruby. Where will you be?"
"I promised the Heartchilds I would get Darius, so that is what I intend to do."
"What if he doesn't want to go? You know, after you….."
"I'm not going to say a thing, and neither are you. Got it."
"Are you protecting him, or...…..yourself?"
"Goodbye, Lolli. Any requests that come in for Rainbow, direct them to me."
"Understood."
*Knock, Knock, Knock*
"Peter, what are you doing back here? I thought Jalapeno had you forever."
"Not just me."
"Wait a second."
"I couldn't leave my best bros and sis' behind, and Jalapeno understood that."
"So...we're finally getting out of here? Eating real food again."
"Lane brought us real food."
"But the School has magic."
"And a Wishing pool."
"That they made on accident."
"If I had a wish, I would wish to see my parents again. Just for a day."
"Uhhhhh….."
"I don't think that's how the pool works, Madelyn."
"What do you mean? It grants your wish.
Hall of Mirror sees your future, and..."
"What sees your past?"
"Why would you want to look there. I am going upstairs right now to pack. You all should do the same. Still can't believe this is happening."
"Maddie, we are not getting adopted or anything. Just gaining a sense of independence."
"Why'd we get to be the lucky ones?"
"Because of Peter's recklessness."
"Less talking and more walking."
".....What about us?"
"Uhmmmm. Jalapeno only said I could bring four of you along."
"Awwwww."
"If I bring anymore, they wouldn't even need an Orphanage."
"Hmmmm."
"I didn't mean that. Jiggles...…I...…I don't want to take advantage of Jalapenos kindness, you know that. I'm just surprised he didn't shame me for what I did. It's a miracle in and of itself."
"For you, that is."
"Ready everyone?"
"Ready."
"Kids, I will still do my best to remember you all and help you anyway I can."
"Ten bucks says you will forget us by tomorrow. Word of advice. Don't get yourself too wrapped up in Magic you lose the beauty of the real."
