A/N: First of all I'm sorry this is so long! Immediately after chapter 2 I had started writing this and within a few hours I'd written over half of this chapter. I didn't mean to make this one so long but it just kind of… happened. Again, thank you all for the support, I love hearing back from you guys. I receive emails whenever I get a review and each time I do, I spend a good while smiling over it. It's the best feeling in the world hearing what people think of the work you put out, so thank you all. And, thank you for your suggestions! Miss Mario, thank you for both of your ideas - I really want them to either perform Romeo and Juliet (cliche, I know, but I think it'd be pretty funny to see most of the class complain about not understanding their lines, and to see Luvbi and Morton get really into it), but I was also thinking maybe a musical? I'd love to see them perform 'Heathers' because it's my favourite musical and has an amazing plot line and would fit some characters perfectly, but it's not very school appropriate so I'm on the fence about it. Any suggestions for plays or musicals from anyone is appreciated! Also, this may sound evil, but I love your idea about there being a fire in the school. It adds so much drama and I think it'd be a lot of fun to write about, and for all of you to read! Finally, if your OC does not appear too much in this chapter, I'm making sure that next chapter each character will have an entire detailed scene dedicated to them, so look forward to that! Alright, on with the story.

It was already Friday, the end of the first week of school, and it was… hectic to say the least. But the Koopalings loved it! They had made friends, enemies, and were having a great time. But, they obviously hadn't met all the students, so Wendy came up with a grand plan on the way to school.

"King Dad's gonna be out of the castle tonight and back tomorrow morning, right?" She asked the rest of her brothers, and Ludwig answered with a quick 'yes'. "Sweet. I'm having a party."

Ludwig nearly stopped driving the car due to shock. "Uh- yeah, no you're not. King Dad's leaving me in charge and I say no. Forget it." After this sentence, every other sibling in the car groaned in complaint.

"Ludwig, I wanna be known as the cute girl who threw an amazing party! Come on, we'll all get to socialize and meet people. Doesn't that sound fun?" Wendy whined. She really wanted to throw this party: she'd get to impress her friends, meet new people, and dress up! And everyone knows how much Wendy loves dressing up.

"Yeah, c'mon dude! Let's do it!" Roy chimed in. He always loved parties, and figured they may as well take advantage of their dad not being home until the next morning.

Ludwig sighed. He didn't want to anger his father, but what could really go wrong? Besides, it'd only be for a couple hours, and it's not like there'd be any illegal activities going on. Even if there were, his dad would probably be proud, being the king of darkness and all that junk.

"...Alright. You guys can throw a party," Everyone in the car began to cheer and holler. "But! I'm not helping any of you with setting up. You can do that yourselves."

Wendy squealed with joy, her eyes lighting up. "Thank you thank you thank you! We promise Ludwig, we'll keep the house under control and everything!" Little did Ludwig know, while Wendy made that promise, her fingers were crossed.

During first period, Ms. Nastasia was droning on about Romeo and Juliet, and how she personally felt that lovers will always find their way back to each other due to fate, but she sounded a little… bitter? Anyways, the class was beyond bored. Abigail couldn't sit still, it was incredibly awkward sitting right next to Roy, who felt the exact same way. He couldn't stop thinking about what he had told Zip T. yesterday, that he liked Amethyst. He barely knew her, but now he had to pretend that he did or else he would look like a liar.

Why did he even lie to begin with? Zip T. thought that if Roy didn't like anyone else, then he must like Abigail, and that's why they've been so weird around each other, which was not true. But if it wasn't, then why did he feel the need to lie when he had nothing to hide?

Roy looked over at Abigail as subtly as possible - maybe this would turn out to be a good thing. Yeah, he could totally give her a taste of her own medicine. She and Zip always flirt with each other, so, now he'd flirt with Amethyst. Surely she'd go along with it… right?

His younger brother, Larry, was also dealing with some 'romance' issues. Well, not quite romance yet, but it was something he couldn't get off of his mind. He thought that Wolfe was really cool - she seemed so confident, and seemed like a good friend. And potentially maybe something more? He did notice her blushing a lot on Wednesday when they had to act out a wedding scene and pretend to marry each other, but then again, she could've just been embarrassed at the whole situation. He wanted to get to know her a bit better, but Larry tended to be a bit awkward and think things over too much. Was he thinking this whole situation over too much as well?

Speaking of looking too far into situations, maybe he was just self-conscious about being the new kid at a school, but he felt as though sometimes someone would be… watching him. And he wasn't completely sure, but wherever he went, a mysterious magikoopa, who he heard is named Electra, always seemed to be there. They had never talked, and maybe he really was just being paranoid, but she's caught his eye. He wanted to get closer to both Electra and Wolfe, but didn't know if they even noticed him.

How wrong he was.

The rest of the english class seemed to be falling asleep - Ms. Nastasia was still going on about how when two people are in love, they can't be separated by any forces at all. She claimed to be talking about Romeo and Juliet, but most of the class felt that she was getting a little too passionate about this subject.

Ludwig really didn't care about this school at all, he knew all of the subjects inside and out, so he was bored out of his mind, as was most of the class. Nobody really wanted to do actual work, but it was equally as boring to be lectured by a teacher with a monotone voice. It was kind of tiring really. They had hoped that the math class was having more fun.

They weren't.

Tensions were extremely high due to Mimi sticking up for Vivian on Wednesday when Beldam was picking on her. Vivian felt awful because she thought she created the tension, but nobody blamed her, not even Beldam. Beldam no longer cared about making Vivian miserable for once, no, now she wanted Mimi to be miserable. And that sneaky witch wouldn't stop until she saw that 'annoying little green girl' cry.

The whole class was waiting with anticipation to see what exactly would happen between the two. Maybe nothing during this class in particular, but eventually, they knew there would be some kind of battle. Mimi was never one to back down from a fight, and Beldam was known for starting them. Maybe Wendy's idea for a party wasn't the worst idea, everyone did need to let off some steam and relax and have fun. Well, that was the plan for the party later that night. Would it really be that simple though?

Lunch came around quite quickly, and Wendy immediately talked to her friends about her party that night.

"So!" She took a seat along with Vivian, Mimi, Lindsay, Luvbi, and Abigail. Zip T. was nowhere to be found, which Abigail found a bit strange, but brushed it off. "I'm having a party tonight at 8, and I hope all of you can make it."

Lindsay gasped in delight. "A party? I love those!" She grinned widely, which Wendy quickly returned. "I'll be there."

Abigail nodded, "I'll come too, I'm always the highlight of parties." She jokingly said, but it was a bit true. Abigail, though a sweetheart to her friends, absolutely loved drama. And boy did she bring it.

Luvbi sighed, "Hm, I guess I will come, I hath nothing better to do." She really did, such as homework that she hated doing, but she secretly loved parties so she couldn't pass it up.

"Ooh, I really love parties too!" Mimi chimed in with her big smile. "I can't not go. I'll be there!" She turned to look at Vivian, who looked as if she was contemplating going or not. "What about you, Viv?"

Vivian bit her lip, not knowing what to do. "I don't know guys… Beldam would kill me if I went to a high school party, but… you know what?" She looked up at them with a small smile. "I'm going! I'm not letting her boss me around any more."

The table cheered for her, proud of her for being a little less scared by her nasty sister. That's when Abigail noticed Roy and Amethyst across the lunchroom, and he had his arm around her. She spat out her water, luckily not getting it on anyone.

"Ugh! Abby!" Lindsay looked at her with concern, and a bit of disgust for nearly spitting her water on her. "What's wrong?!"

Abigail held her gaze on Roy and Amethyst, who were very openly flirting from her point of view. Disgusting. "Since when do those two hang out?"

The group looked over at Roy and Amethyst, and they were a little shocked. They had just met and talked normally on Wednesday and Thursday. They certainly moved a little quickly. Luvbi cheekily decided to tease Abigail a bit. "Art thou a bit… jealous?"

Abigail whipped her head towards Luvbi, glaring harshly. "No! Why would I be jealous?! They can hang out for all I care. I don't care at all. Not a single bit. Besides, I uh, have Zip." She looked a bit saddened at this. It's not that she didn't like him, she did, but maybe just as friends. And now with Roy coming back… it was all too confusing for her.

Now, what was really going on over with Amethyst and Roy? It was a bit weird. Roy came up, sat extremely close to Amethyst (more than she would've liked), Gabby laughed a bit at Amethyst's protests, and Roy told them to 'go along with it'. What did that mean?

They weren't really flirting, he just wanted it to look like it from Abigail's point of view. "So, ladies, guess who's having a party tonight?" He leaned over and stole a fry from Gabby who rolled her eyes playfully.

"Let me take a wild guess… you?" She asked, and he nodded.

"Yep, and you two better be there. Me and my family are inviting everyone in our classes, so it's gonna be great. Don't miss out." He boasted, and Gabby nodded. She thought parties were cool, Amethyst though?

"Parties aren't my thing dude. Sorry."

Roy gaped at her, and then snapped back to reality. "Yeah, well, they are now. You gotta come! Please? I will literally pay you."

Gabby and Amethyst exchanged a look, a confused one. Why did he so desperately want Amethyst to come? That was a bit weird. And the whole invasion of personal space… it seemed like he liked her. A lot. But really, Roy just wanted to invite her to irritate Abigail. He knew she'd be there, and wanted to get back at her for being so lovey-dovey with Zip.

"Uh… well," Amethyst seriously thought it over. Parties really weren't her thing, but money? Now we're talking. "How much?"

"Twenty bucks?"

"I'm in."

Word got out throughout the lunchroom that the koopas were hosting a party at their castle - each koopa had told their friends all about it. Larry had told Dimentio, Doopliss and Norman. Iggy was planning on talking to Francis about it, and mentioning it to Candy and Cheryl when he saw both of them. Lemmy invited Squirps and O'Chunks. Ludwig didn't tell anyone - the poor loner wasn't really friends with anyone, but that was mainly his own fault for being such a grouch. Every student found out about it, and all of them wanted to attend.

Back at the girl's table, unsurprisingly, Doopliss strolled over and sat next to Mimi. "Hey, ladies. What are we discussing today?" He had been feeling a bit snarky today, so he added, "Maybe how Luvbi always looks like a cheap wanna-be ballerina?" He referenced her outfit, which was a white lacy top and a skirt that did somewhat resemble a tutu.

Luvbi glared at him darkly. He always came over here and he was never polite to her. Never! "Hmph, mayhaps we were discussing how thou art an immature jerk?!" She snapped at him. This was not her year so far, she hadn't even seen any cute guys! She had really wanted to find her one and only in high school, and she had no such luck. She was just plain bitter at this point, so instead of fighting with him, she picked her lunch tray up and stormed over to an empty table across the room.

She sighed and sat down miserably. Why had no guys shown any interest in her? She was so cute and beautiful, maybe not the nicest, but people clearly didn't care about that seeing as how Abigail got so many guys following her as if she was a queen bee and them the hive!

"That's a bit rude, don't you think?" Morton came up and sat next to her, and she hadn't realized she was voicing her opinions out loud. "You don't mind if I sit here, right? Everywhere else is a little bit full, and you seemed a little upset. Haven't tried herbal teas?"

She sighed in annoyance, she was not in the mood to deal with this annoying koopa. "Nay, and I will never drinketh such teas. Those will not help." She grumbled, barely loud enough for him to hear, and he felt a bit bad.

"Uh, well, I just really wanted to say sorry about Wednesday Luvbi." She glanced up at him - he was sorry? Nobody ever apologized to her after she snapped at them. "I don't really know what I did to upset you, but I guess I did something, and so I'm sorry. You seem really cool, and I don't want us to get off to a bad start." Morton apologized sheepishly, he really did feel bad, and Luvbi became more interested by the second. "Truth be told, I think how you talk is really cool! I've always loved Shakespeare and his, uh, works."

She grinned a bit, but he couldn't see. Someone actually said sorry to her for something they weren't even really in the wrong in, and they complimented her? She lifted her head up and smiled a bit at him. "Well, truth be told, I should not hath taken out mine own issues out on thee. I… am sorry."

That felt a bit unusual to her, Luvbi rarely said sorry to others. But, seeing the look on his face felt nice. It warmed her heart up a bit, and he smiled at her. "Oh, it's alright! At least now we can start on the right foot. I'm Morton Koopa Jr."

The two talked for the rest of lunch, and they surprisingly bonded a bit. Luvbi was surprised, Morton was actually pretty intellectual and sweet. He even invited her to the party him and his family were hosting that night. She definitely wanted to attend now.

Back at the girls table once more, Doopliss scoffed. "Geez, what's her problem?" Which earned a glare from Mimi.

"Y'know Doopliss, it wouldn't hurt to be a little nice to my friends once in awhile! I don't mind you being rude to me because that's what our friendship is, but don't rain on my friend's parades." She lectured him before looking down at her food with a harsh glare.

"Awh, c'mon Mimikins, I'm sorry!" He apologized, but unlike Morton's apology, he didn't really mean it. However, he earned no reply from Mimi, and he knew he was being given the silent treatment. "...Mimi, really? Oh come on! My insult wasn't even that harsh. Like really, calling her a cheap ballerina? That's why she's sooo offended? She actually takes ballet, so it's kind of true!"

Still no answer.

"Talk to me sweetie!" He pleaded, and she looked up and scowled.

"Don't call me that!" She yelled, but he only laughed, obviously teasing her.

"Oh what, so when we're actually going to date I'm not allowed to call you that?" His tone was sarcastic, but he really meant it. Mimi's glare softened for a second before hardening again.

"I'm sorry what?"

"Nevermind." He brushed it off and stood up. "Well. You're all a bit boring today, to be quite honest. I guess for once I'll go chill with my crew. See ya!" As he walked away, Mimi growled.

"Ugh! He gets on my nerves so badly sometimes." Mimi complained, and Abigail smirked.

"You two already sound like a married couple."

"Oh shut up!"

As Doopliss walked away, he could still hear the bickering girls and chuckled quietly to himself. What he had with Mimi was a bit complicated, at least from his perspective. For the past year and a half or so, they've been 'frenemies', and he didn't see her as anything more. Well, not until the end of last year. There was an end of school party, and they spent most of their time together. He likes to think they bonded a bit. Maybe that's when he started feeling a slight attraction towards her.

He didn't know if she felt the same though. Not until Dimentio got a hold of Mimi's diary and told Doopliss about a certain entry. Apparently, to Mimi, Doopliss' eyes were 'enchanting' and she was very confused on how she felt. So was Doopliss. But he could settle that out later. Maybe ask her out in a surprising way? He didn't know, he wasn't really the type to get all mushy with that romantic junk.

He took a seat at his usual table along with Larry, Norman, and Dimentio. "'Sup guys."

"Hey dude!" Larry grinned at him. "Let me guess, did you go over to annoy Mimi again?"

Doopliss smirked a bit at this. "Yeah, it's like a hobby y'know? Kind of ticked off Luvbi though." He pointed over to the nimbi who was currently conversing with Morton.

"...She doesn't look that 'ticked off' to me, glad she's feeling better." Norman smiled. He didn't really like to see people upset, even if he didn't particularly like them.

Dimentio nodded, and then noticed a certain magikoopa looking over at the group. As usual. In fact, it was Dimentio who first pointed out to Larry that Electra seemed to follow them around a lot. "Oh Larry, looks like you caught someone's attention, again."

The four males turned to look at Electra, who tried her best to play it off as if she was just simply looking around the room, but they all knew what she was really up to. "So, you gonna go talk to her or what?" Doopliss eyed Larry, who looked quite unsure.

"Yeah, it's best to just start up a conversation with her!" Norman agreed with Doopliss.

Larry took a deep breath before standing up. "I'm going for it." He turned around and tried to casually walk over to her, who noticed him coming over. She was unprepared for this - what was she supposed to say to him?!

He cleared his throat and stood behind a seat. "Um, Electra, is it?" He asked her, and she nodded a bit shyly. "Do you mind if I sit down?"

She looked a little taken aback, losing her confidence a bit, but not wanting that to show. "Go ahead."

He took a seat, and the two sat in silence. It was a bit awkward, neither of them knowing what to say. They could also feel the eyes of Larry's friends watching them as if they were the most popular TV show on the air. Larry was about to speak up and say something, but just as luck would have it, the bell rang signalling that third period was about to begin. Electra stood up and began to gather her things, but Larry quickly asked her, "Do you want to walk to drama class together?"

Electra blushed a bit and smiled, "I'd love to." She was beyond thrilled - her crush was talking to her and asked to walk with her to their class? Today was her lucky day! She really wanted to go to the Koopa's party that night, and was planning on it. However, she hoped that her 'rival', Wolfe, wouldn't be there. She wanted to spend the night talking to Larry.

Wolfe, though, had a different idea. She was definitely going to attend the party and 'casually' bump into Larry, then strike up a conversation with him. She wanted to at least befriend him before making a move, so she knew that the party would be a perfect opportunity for that.

Third period started, and the entire gym class was ecstatic talking about the Koopa's party later that night. Everyone was wondering what exactly would happen there, and wondered how many people would end up being there. Wendy was talking about it with Mimi and Abigail, but the latter kept looking around the gym every second. "Abigail?" Wendy asked, and Abigail quickly turned to face her. "You okay?"

Abigail sighed, brushing a bit of her hair out of her face. "Not really, I haven't seen Zip at all today, and he didn't seem sick or anything yesterday. I hope he's alright."

Mimi questionably looked at her before piping in, "He was in math today.", which caught Abigail's attention.

"Wait, what?" She looked down at Mimi and raised an eyebrow. "So, where did he go during lunch? And is he seriously skipping this class?" To which Mimi shrugged.

"I guess so."

"Well, what the heck am I gonna do now?" Zip had been Abigail's partner for the tennis tournament, and today was the final showdown - unsurprisingly, it was those two against Doopliss and Roy, who just happened to be making their way over to the three girls now.

"Where's your partner, Abby?" Roy asked with a slight smirk, knowing that Zip was nowhere to be found, and Abigail narrowed her eyes at him.

"Well, do you see him anywhere around here?" She gestured around the room, and obviously, he wasn't there. "No? Then that answers your question." She never really had the patience to deal with Roy, but today, she was not in a good mood. Zip really abandoned her when it was the final tennis game, she couldn't believe him.

Roy felt a bit bad for her, but also found the situation funny and a bit predictable. He really didn't like Zip all that much. "Well, that's just the kind of guy Zip is."

Mimi scoffed a bit at this, she happened to think Zip was a good guy. "Like you're any better!" She stepped in front of Abigail and glared up at Roy. "Even if it's just her, Abigail will still take you down. Both of you!"

Doopliss laughed a bit at this, rolling his eyes. "Mimi, sorry to tell you but she's going down." This, of course, started a huge debate between the two, who really were fighting like an old married couple.

"Uh, no she isn't, Abigail's super athletic!" "Even if she is, it's the two of us against her, she doesn't stand a chance." "Yes she does, it's a sporty legend against two dweebs. She's going to win." "Awh Mimi why can't you cheer me on for once?" "Because you're super annoying and you don't need any more confidence, you're cocky enough. Someone's gotta put you in your place."

"Guys!" Wendy cut the two off in annoyance, which Abigail and Roy were thankful for (along with the rest of the class who could barely hear each other talking because of how loud Mimi and Doopliss were). "Can you not fight for maybe, I dunno, two minutes? It's like every time you two see each other you argue! Just, chill."

Roy laughed a bit at this. "You're the one talking about 'chilling'? You throw a tantrum over the tiniest things!" Wendy shot him a dirty look after that, and Coach Daisy interrupted all of them.

"Ahem! Hi, yeah, sorry to interrupt your little conversation," Daisy sarcastically said. "But it's time for the two final teams to have their final game to decide the winners, or winner."

Abigail quickly protested, "Uh, Coach! My partner isn't here, can we postpone it until Monday?"

Coach Daisy thought it over for a minute, then shook her head. "Sorry! We've got plans for Monday, we're starting a new unit. The final match has to be today." Daisy would've let them postpone it, but they already wasted a day - yesterday. The matches took a bit longer than she liked, so they had to save to the final match for today and throw away the plans Daisy had originally made. They couldn't push it back any longer.

Abigail sighed in frustration - she had to do the final match all alone. If Zip Toad planned to come to the party tonight, if he had even heard about it, she was going to kill him when she would see him. Okay, not literally kill him, but she'd confront him about it. Whenever she needed him, he wouldn't be there, and she was getting a bit tired of it.

She got ready to play on one side of a court, and Doopliss and Roy got settled on the other side. They were feeling pretty confident, and they had every reason to be, they hadn't lost a match so far and the two partners were both there.

The match, surprisingly, lasted a good ten minutes. It was intense, the boys were surprised at how well Abigail was playing without Zip Toad. It wasn't that they expected her to be bad, but they didn't think she'd be able to play against two others. In the end though, she still lost. It was an unfair advantage, but it still counted.

She wasn't upset that she lost - okay, maybe she was a little upset - but she was mainly upset that Zip completely abandoned her for this. It wasn't a huge deal, but it still hurt Abigail a bit, especially when she knew that he was at school in the morning. Plus, he'd been talking about beating Roy all week - why would he want to miss that now?

She angrily pulled out her phone and texted him a quick message, 'Where are u? Mimi says she saw u in the morning, so whyd u ditch gym? Thx to that, we just lost the tennis tourney.' Within seconds, she got a reply.

'Busy'. Oh he did not just give her a one-word answer. She sighed in frustration - he was never there for her, and this was just a small example.

She quickly sent back, 'Come to the koopas party 2night 8' and he left her on read. She angrily shut her phone off - why was he acting so cold all of a sudden, and what was his excuse for skipping? He had better show up at the party that night, or he'd be a dead toad, she'd make sure of it.

For the rest of class, since Coach Daisy really didn't have much planned until Monday, she let them use whatever equipment they wanted for free time, they just had to be doing something.

Iggy was hanging out with Francis and throwing around a frisbee, talking about the normal nerdy things. The latest upcoming video games, what were the best sci-fi TV shows nowadays, usual stuff, until Iggy brought up the party later that night. "You should come, Francis! I think it'd be good for you to get out of your house aside from school."

Francis sighed - he was a geeky chameleon, would he have any place at a party? "Nerrr… I don't know… I'd rather stay home and watch 'Starship X-Naut'." As he said this, Candy and Cheryl shyly walked up to the both of them.

"Um, hey guys!" Candy said with a smile, and Iggy smiled back at the both of them. "What's up?"

"Oh, uh, I was just talking to Francis about how my sister's throwing a party tonight at our castle, and we can invite anyone we want. Are you guys interested in coming?" Iggy asked them, slightly tilting his head (which both of the girls found adorable).

"Of course, I'd love to!" Candy nodded with a blush, before turning to Cheryl.

"Yeah, I'll come too, sounds fun." Even though the two girls were shy, they thought it'd be nice to hang out with Iggy… and Francis too if he was coming, who just happened to speak up then.

"O-oh! Yeah! I'm going too!" He turned towards Iggy with a silly smile on his face. "Count me in." In all honesty, he thought that Candy and Cheryl were incredibly cute, but he knew the way they both looked at Iggy. He knew he didn't have a chance, but he figured maybe he'd try to give it a shot with both of them.

As for the drama class, Madame Flurrie had assigned them once more into groups to work on some 'tableau's, which were sort of like freeze frames. The groups were allowed to think of a theme for their scene, and then had to practice how they'd freeze for the scene. Instead of having five groups of three, there were only three groups of five.

The first group consisted of Squirps, Ludwig, O'Chunks, Morton, and Lindsay. The group gathered together, and immediately started discussing what theme they should do. They threw around a few ideas, but none of them really appealed to the group, until Squirps spoke up. "Ooh! What if we do a cheerleading theme, squirk? I think it'd be fun!"

Lindsay's eyes brightened up, and she grinned widely. "Yes! Let's do it! C'mon, it's so original and it'd be really fun."

The other males in the group were unsure, but after a few minutes of protesting, they gave up and started to practice the pose they'd do. It was a bit messy at first, but in the end, they nailed it. They just hoped they'd nail it for the actual presentation.

The second group was made up of Larry, Dimentio, Electra, Amethyst, and Wolfe. At first, everyone was silent, but Amethyst eventually sighed rather loudly and asked which theme they should do. They decided on a pretty simple theme - beach. Nobody really wanted to do it, but it was simple and easy. All they had to do was either pretend to be tanning, or pretend to be splashing in the water. They didn't practice too much, just made a bit of small talk. Wolfe and Electra, of course, talked with Larry a bit, leaving Dimentio and Amethyst alone. Those two, to put it gently, didn't get along too well. Amethyst felt a bit unsettled because of how creepy Dimentio tended to be, and all she wanted was the day to end.

The last group was Vivian, Norman, Lemmy, Gabby, and Luvbi. They spent most of their time discussing which theme to do - Norman and Lemmy wanted to do upbeat happy themes, but Luvbi was difficult and was set on doing some kind of ballroom scene. It was weird, and Gabby made sure she knew that, which started a small argument between the two. In the end, thanks to Vivian being level-headed, she calmed everyone down and they finally decided on a theme, which was 'party'. It was upbeat and happy like Norman and Lemmy wanted, and Luvbi could pretend to dance like she wanted to.

Finally, it was time for all the groups to present, the 'cheerleading' group going first. Madame Flurrie would give each group 10 seconds to get into their poses, and had to hold it for 30 seconds.

The group quickly got into their pose- Ludwig, Morton and O'Chunks were lined up in a row and above their heads they held Lindsay and Squirps, who held their arms up to look like they were cheering. Asides from the slight trembling, they held the pose almost perfectly and Madame Flurrie was pleased with them (and a little impressed).

The second group was a bit less prepared. If you didn't know they were pretending to be at the beach, you wouldn't be able to guess that. Amethyst was laying on the ground along with Wolfe, Electra was pretending to splash Larry and Larry pretended to splash her (which looked a bit weird since there was no water), and Dimentio was… nobody really knew what exactly he was doing, he was just kind of sitting down. Madame Flurrie was a bit confused and could tell they didn't practice, but still gave them an okay mark.

The last group was all over the place. Honestly, nobody could tell what the hell they were doing, since 'party' was very vague. Luvbi was fist-bumping, or at least it looked like it. Norman and Lemmy were just facing each other (assumably talking?), Gabby was pretending to eat a slice of pizza (which looked a bit unnatural due to not actually having a slice of pizza), and Vivian was too shy to do anything outrageous, so she was in a disco-dancing position. It was very confusing but Madame Flurrie still loved it and gave them a good grade. She said it captured the essence of a true highschool party - nobody really knowing what they're doing and it all looking like a mess. It was a bit insulting, but the group took it.

Just as the last group finished up, the final bell rang, and everyone ran out of school excitedly. They were excited for later that night - the Koopa's party. They hoped that it would be a good time and there'd be no drama or fights, but we all know how parties usually go, and this one would not be an exception.

There's nothing but drama and fights.
