In Hal and Bubble's room in Toon Manor; Bubbles was playing on the Nintendo Switch tablet as Hal was on his laptop doing his online college course.
"Alright, just need to get this answer right, and I'll be a graduate in no time." said Hal.
He did some work and the website changed to say 'This online collage course has been canceled.'
The toucan became shocked.
"What the?" said Hal, "This is terrible."
"You're telling me, I'm losing to Barney the Dinosaur." said Bubbles.
Hal shook his head.
"Not your problem, I'm talking about me." said Hal.
Bubbles became confused.
"What're you talking about?" said Bubbles.
"My online collage course is no more." said Hal.
Bubbles became confused.
"What?" said Bubbles.
"Yeah, now I can't even get my credits and get a high paying job. That was my new years resolution." said Hal.
Bubbles scoffed.
"Work is for pussies, if you ask me, we should be sitting on our butts all day having other people bring home the bacon." said Bubbles.
Hal chuckled.
"Keep telling yourself that. I'll find a collage to graduate from soon enough, you'll see." said Hal.
Later; he was going through a ton of collage brochures in the kitchen.
"Hmm, massasging chairs in every dorm room for this college." said Hal.
He smiled.
"Promising." said Hal.
He looked at the front of the brochure.
"Toon University." said Hal.
He ran out of the mansion.
Later; he was in an office with a female dean.
"Well I'm sorry Mr Hal, but we can't except anyone at this time." said the dean.
Hal became shocked.
"Seriously? Your brochure says that you'll except any student at anytime." said Hal.
"Yeah it says that, but at the start of a semester, and the semester started a week and a half ago." said the dean.
Hal cried.
"Please let me join. I'll catch up." He said.
The dean sighed.
"How many credits do you need?" said the dean.
Hal stopped crying.
"Just one." said Hal.
The dean became shocked.
"You've got to be kidding me. Can't you just use your online collage course to get that credit?" said the dean.
"That's why I'm here, my collage course is no more and I really need the credit real bad." said Hal.
The Dean nodded.
"Alright, you'll be here for two weeks to get your course, after it's done, then you'll graduate." said the dean.
Hal smiled.
"Thank you, I knew you were all heart." said Hal.
He walked out of the office as the dean pulled out a bottle of beer.
"Looks like I chose the wrong day to quit drinking." the dean said before drinking the beer.
Later; a door opened up and Hal who had a box full of stuff looked into the door to see a fancy apartment room that looked like Ross Geller's second apartment.
"Hmm, loving this Friends vibe room." said Hal.
He then laughed.
"I'm going to love it here." said Hal.
He set his box on a table and started pulling stuff out of it.
He pulled out a picture of him and Bubbles before setting it on the desk followed by a lamp.
Later; the apartment was finished up and Hal was on his bed relaxing.
He sighed as his smart phone vibrated.
The bird picked it up to see a text from Bubbles saying 'How's collage searching?"
Hal smiled before texting back 'I found a very interesting place called Toon University.'
Another text appeared that said 'You don't say, will you be returning home to have dinner?'
Hal texted back 'Nope, just moved into my dorm room and going to the cafeteria to get dinner. I'll even be here for two weeks until my own graduation.'
Another text from Bubbles appeared that said 'Oh, alright then.'
Hal put his phone away before walking out of his room.
Back at Toon Manor; all the residents were eating dinner.
Bubbles seemed sad.
Everyone noticed it.
"Wow, you haven't even touched your food, anything wrong?" said Ben.
Bubbles sighed.
"Well, my best friend just got into a collage after his online course was removed from the web and now he's living there for a while." said Bubbles.
Everyone became shocked.
"He is?" said Red.
Bubbles nodded.
Red became sad.
"Wow I may not know Hal that well but I would be sad if Chuck and Bomb ever left." said Red.
Everyone turned to Bubbles.
"Look, you should be proud of your friend, he's wanting to have a high paying job to support for us." said Sonic.
"I know, I'm just upset he might fail at collage." said Bubbles.
"He won't, take it from a guy who did go to collage." said Max.
Bubbles nodded.
"Okay." said Bubbles.
"Just out of curiosity, which collage did Hal say he was going to be at?" said Sonic.
"He said something about visiting a place called Toon University, weird name I know, but-"Bubbles said before looking at where Sonic was sitting, only to see that he was gone, "And the hedgehog is gone."
