James and Elizabeth hugged and kissed Junior as they were so proud of him for being able to move up to the second grade due to how smart he was in school and today was going to be his first day. The dogs were even very proud of him, they gave him some bones as gift as congratulations and he hugged them back, though Scamp was his best friend like Angel was Mo's.
"Sure wish could come." Scamp said.
Mo was proud as well, though she had to visit a new location as assigned by Drell.
"Do really have to go?" Junior asked.
"I'm sorry, JJ," Mo hugged her little brother. "I'm so proud of you though."
"When will you be home?" Junior asked.
"As soon as I can," Mo promised before giving him a book. "Here, I know it's not Franklin, but I think this'll be just as good. It's Little Bear."
"Okay." Junior said.
"Be good for your new teacher and classmates now." Mo told him.
"I will, Momo." Junior promised.
"And make some more friends." Mo said.
Junior smiled back to her.
"We should celebrate somehow, Jim Dear." Elizabeth said about their children's accomplishments.
"We'll think of a way, Darling," James smiled. "Let's see how Junior's first day of second grade goes since he's going before almost everyone else he knew in first grade."
"I hope I can still see Rosie." Junior blushed.
"I'm sure you will." Mo smiled.
Junior wiped his eyes, but smiled back to his big sister.
"Oh, I can't wait to hear all about your adventures in second grade when I come back home." Mo hugged him nice and tight.
"I'll be sure to tell you." Junior smiled.
"Good luck on your first day." Mo smiled back as she had to get going now.
Junior sighed as Mo left for another adventure, but he would actually have his own quite soon. "Even though she's not my real sister, I love her a lot..." he told his parents.
"We know we love her too." Elizabeth said.
Junior sighed, he soon decided to read his book. However, when he read it, there was a button that he could push and when he pushed it, Mo's voice began to narrate the story so that he could pretend that she was right there with him to read the story to him. He smiled to this since he missed Mo a lot already and began to read the story about Little Bear as the cub was going on a camping trip with his father and they met two new friends named Cub and Little Moose.
Later on, it was time for Junior to go to school. Elizabeth was packing a very healthy and delicious lunch just for her special little boy, and where he was sure going to enjoy it.
"Dad, do you think the other second graders will like me?" Junior asked nervously as Elizabeth served them pancakes with syrup and sprinkles for their son's special day.
"Of course they will." His father replied.
"Your father is right, sweetie," Elizabeth comforted. "Just because you're a year younger than them doesn't mean you'll be treated differently. We're very proud of you."
"Yes, you're quite a smart boy," James smiled. "Besides, our friend's daughter Penny will be in your class. Maybe you can become friends."
"Penny Peterson?" Junior groaned. "I guess..."
"Oh, come on," James said. "She isn't that bad."
"Maybe you're right..." Junior sighed. "Guess I'm just nervous about my new first day at school."
The humans soon sat down to eat their breakfast.
Scamp was about to get into Junior's backpack without the girls knowing. "Almost there." The dog whispered to himself.
Angel opened one eye and looked toward her boyfriend. Scamp soon made it into the backpack and the flap came down over him as he bundled against the books and other school supplies. Angel could already tell this might lead to trouble.
Soon enough after breakfast, James and Elizabeth took Junior to school and he straightened out his uniform, and where he looked handsome in it. James fixed Junior's tie while Elizabeth wiped his face and combed his hair before they went to drop him off in front of the school. Unknown to all of them, Scamp would be joining Junior on his new first day of school. James soon took a picture of his wife and young son together so they would always remember this moment. Soon enough, they were on their way to Junior's new school .
"Okay, bye, Mr. Peabody!" A young boy's voice said.
"Wait!" An older voice told him.
"See you after school!" A redheaded boy with glasses was on his way with his fellow students into the school.
"That must be one of the students." James said.
"Oh, my gosh, James," Elizabeth gasped. "That's the human son of Mr. Peabody, the brilliant dog genius."
"Dog genius?" Junior asked out of confusion.
"Oh, Junior, darling, you are so lucky," Elizabeth smiled. "It appears one of your classmates is also going to be Sherman Peabody, the adoptive son of the dog genius himself: Mr. Peabody. He is unlike any other dog you have ever met."
"Cool." Junior said.
James and Elizabeth came into the school with Junior since this was a big day for him.
"Why do I go to school here again?" Junior asked his parents.
"Because we went here when we were younger, in fact, it's how we met." Elizabeth smiled.
"Ohh." Junior smiled.
"It's a very nice school, Junior, even if it is a little more strict than others." James comforted.
"I know." Junior said.
They came into the principal's office to remind of the deal of Junior being moved up a grade.
"Ah, James and Elizabeth Brown." Principal Purdy smiled.
"Hello, Principal Purdy." James and Elizabeth smiled back.
"Ah, James Brown Junior, so good to see you, such a good boy." Principal Purdy told the blonde boy.
"Yes, sir." Junior replied respectively.
"Now, it seems you are best suited for Mrs. Patrice's class to begin your second grade education," Purdy told him. "I hope you like History."
"Kind of." Junior shrugged.
"Well, you're a bright young boy, I'm sure you'll enjoy it." Principal Purdy told him.
The door soon slammed shut which startled him.
"Oh, uh, hello there, Mrs. Grunion." Principal Purdy shivered.
"I just thought I'd come see the bright boy who is moving up a grade." A bulky woman smirked down to Junior.
Junior soon avoided eye contact from the woman.
"I don't want to see you in this office very often, young man," Mrs. Grunion told Junior. "I don't like troublemakers."
"Yes, ma'am..." Junior looked down from her nervously as he felt uncomfortable around her. He could even sense she was evil.
Mrs. Grunion darkly chuckled and patted him on the head. Junior winced and held his head uneasily from her touch.
