Chapter 4: Back from School
It has been a while since the school hours ended and since Clarissa gave birth. Ai and Hiroshi have just arrived at Rocko's house. Ai knocked on the front door. Rocko opened it.
"Hello, you two," greeted Rocko.
"Konnichiwa, Rocko-chan," Ai greeted back, as she and Hiroshi stepped into the house.
Heffer and Filburt are also sitting on the couch, playing Mascot Killer.
"Hello, Ai. Hello, Hiroshi," Heffer and Filburt greeted at the same time.
"How was your first day of junior high?" asked Rocko.
"It was good," replied Ai.
"That's very good," smiled Rocko.
"And guess what?" said Hiroshi. "Me and Lin became boyfriend and girlfriend!"
"Congratulations on your first girlfriend, Hiroshi!" said Filburt.
"Oh, and you know Alma and Stella?" said Hiroshi.
"Did they do anything bad this time?" wondered Heffer.
"No, they've reformed!" Hiroshi smiled.
"Reformed?" wondered Rocko, Heffer, Filburt and Ai.
"Yeah!" replied Hiroshi. "After they got suspended, they were grounded for two months and were admitted to O-Town Mental Hospital to take anger management lessons and counselling after years of verbal cruelty and violence. So now, they're behaving nicely."
"Well, that's a very good thing," said Rocko.
"Yeah," said Heffer. "They would've still been bad if they hadn't been admitted."
"I know," agreed Filburt.
Ai smiled. Just then, there is a knock at the front door. Rocko went over to the door and opened it to see Zukin.
"Konnichiwa!" cheered Zukin.
Heffer realised Zukin's voice and got so excited.
"Hello, Zukin!" greeted Heffer.
"Heffer-chan!" Zukin hollered.
Heffer and Zukin both hug like they always do.
"Sorry I was late, but I had to go to the hospital," explained Zukin.
"Why?" wondered Rocko.
"To visit Clarissa because she just had her baby!" answered Zukin. "On my birthday!"
Rocko, Heffer, Filburt, Ai and Hiroshi gasp happily.
"But she had to give birth in the back of the ambulance in the emergency unit parking lot because she initially didn't realise she was going into labour," Zukin explained.
"Oh my goodness gracious!" gasped Rocko.
"Unbelieveable!" Heffer exclaimed.
"Holy fishsticks!" Filburt said.
"Oh gosh!" Ai gasped.
"Woah!" Hiroshi exclaimed.
"But rest assured that both mother and baby are doing fine," Zukin assured.
Rocko, Heffer, Filburt, Ai and Hiroshi all sighed with relief.
"Is the baby a girl or a boy?" asked Heffer.
"It's a girl and she has been named," replied Zukin.
"What is it?" asked Filburt.
"Mimi Clarissa Hargon," said Zukin. "She's been named after her great aunt's nickname."
"That's a nice name," said Rocko.
"I know, I hope she has a nice life," said Zukin.
THE END
Story's done! That was hard work!
