Beaver is in high school, Wally is in college as this is in the 7th Season that didn't happen.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beaver started his first day at Mayfield High alone. Unlike when he began grammar school and his brother Wally was in the 6th grade, Beaver had to start high school without him, now that Wally was at State. He was glad his old fashioned Aunt Martha accepted him going to Mayfield since she offered to send him to Fallbrook School in New England where four generations of Bronson boys had gone. As Beaver walked to school, he met up with Gilbert and Richard as they talked about going to school.

"Boy Beav, I'm glad you decided to go to high school with us. It just wouldn't be the same without you," Gilbert said.

"Yeah. But hey, we'll meet new people and girls."

"Yeah, that's true," Beaver said then continued, "Hey, isn't that Whitey?"

"Hey, yeah that is Whitey," Gilbert said as they walked towards Whitey who was in the hallway.

"Hey Beav, glad you are here with us," Whitey told him.

"Thanks Whitey," Beaver looked to see some other classmates of his walking to their classrooms.

Gilbert and his friends walked through a hall to find a bulletin board then Gilbert said, "We will get new teachers every period just like when we started the 7th grade in grammar school.

"Yeah. Look at this list." Beaver said as the boys looked at who was in their classes then continued, "Looks like creepy Judy is back. I thought she moved."

"No, her dad knew the superintendent and didn't like Miss Landers and the teachers we had so he just had her put in with other teachers," Richard said.

"How do you know that?" Beaver asked.

"Cause I heard my dad talking on the phone about Judy's dad."

"Boy, I sure hope she isn't as creepy as she was before she left our class," Beaver said.

"Hey Beaver," Terry yelled to him as Beaver turned towards him as Gilbert and Richard went to their classes.

"Yeah?"

"Are you going to try out for football?" Terry asked.

"Yeah. What will you do?" Beaver replied with a question.

"I don't know. I think quarterback is what I want to try out for. I heard the coach will have everybody fight for their spots," Terry said.

Later at football practice the coach told the returning players they will fight for their positions. After a long, grueling practice everyone went home and Beaver felt very tired and hungry as it was close to suppertime when he came home and he opened the door.

"Beaver, you are finally home," Ward said as he walked to the door from the den, after hearing it open.

"Yeah, Dad, we had a tough practice."

"Well, go wash up, because supper is almost ready," Ward told him as Beaver went upstairs to put his books away then washed his hands then Ward continued, "June, Beaver's home and he went to wash up."

"Okay dear."

At the dinner table—

"So Beaver how was your first day of school?" June asked then she took a bite.

"It was good. I got a few teachers that Wally had and they asked about him."

"Well, don't let that bother you and you just be Theodore and try not to be like someone you are not," Ward told him.

"Okay Dad."

"So do you think you will make the team?" June asked.

"I don't know but he will put the list out this Friday and we will know."

"Well, just do the best you can," Ward told him as he took a bite of his food.

After supper Ward and June were doing the dishes while Beaver was upstairs.

"I think Beaver will get a good night's sleep tonight since he looked quite tired," Ward said as he was given a plate to dry.

"Yes he was." June said then continued, "Well, I guess he's growing up since he's taking a shower and we didn't have to tell him."

"Yeah. I wonder if he will fall asleep doing his homework," Ward said as he was given another plate to dry.

"So anything new at the office?"

"Well, you might want to buy a bathing suit that makes you look good so we both can spend a week in the fun San Diego sun for a week," Ward told her.

"Oh, Ward. I have always wanted to go there," June said romantically then continued, "You think Beaver will be okay, alone for a week?"

"I think we should have him stay at the Bates or Whitneys."

"Okay," June said then continued, "Where's your checkbook?" She smiled at him as he smiled back and hugged her.

After Beaver finished his shower, he had started on his homework as he yawned then he finally finished. He laid on his bed thinking about Wally, as the sandman had started to overcome his eyelids and he started to yawn even more then his eyelids closed.

An hour later-

Beaver stirred as he heard some yelling downstairs then as he finally awoke, he heard his name being called then Ward came into the room.

"Beaver, are you alright?" Ward asked as he walked over to Beaver's bed. Beaver was sitting up on his bed.

"Yeah Dad, I just fell asleep, that's all. What's wrong?"

"Your mom and I wanted to know if you wanted to go to the malt shop with us to get some sodas?" Ward explained with a question.

"No, thanks Dad."

"Okay, but maybe you should go to bed early since you might have a tough practice tomorrow," Ward said with a pat to his back as June came upstairs since she wanted to know what was going on.

"What's going on Ward?" June asked as she saw Beaver sitting up.

"Beaver is going to bed early, I think the practice has worn him out, don't you think so Beav?"

"Yeah. I'm going to bed." Beaver said then continued, "Goodnight Mom, Dad."

"Good night Beaver." Ward and June said to him then they both left the room and Beaver went to bed.

The next morning—

Beaver headed off to school when he heard someone from behind yelling to him.

"Beaver!! Hey Beaver, wait up!!" A chubby, brown haired boy who was as tall as Beaver ran from behind.

Beaver looked to see who it was but was shocked as to who he thought it was.
