By the time she saw her school she knew that she would just make it, maybe.
As she got closer she saw Icicle standing by the gates.
When the taller girl saw Pinga she waved to her.
"Hurry up Pinga," she called out.
Pinga reached the gates, out of breath.
"I'm going to die," she gasped out.
"Die later," Icicle Said, grabbing Pinga's arm and propelling her along.
"We Don't want to be late."
As it was they managed to get into the class with something like twenty seconds to spare, more than enough time to take their seats.
Icy waved to them as they came in.
"Late again Pinga."
"Stop being so mean to me Icy," Pinga Said as she took seat behind the other girl.
The teacher came in shortly after that and called the class to order so he could call attendance.
When the day was finally over Pinga bounded out of her chair.
"It's finally over," she said happily.
"And there's a new ice cream parlor opening today."
Pinga was running towards the door when suddenly she was jerked to a stop in a way that involved a lot of pain.
She spun on Icy who was holding one of her long, black pigtails.
"Why did you do that?!"
"We're meeting with Flurry at Fruit Parlor Crown to study with Anna," Icicle Said, coming up behind Pinga.
"But," Pinga began, tears welling up in her eyes, but the ice cream parlor is giving away free samples today."
"Too bad," Icicle Said happily as she spun Pinga about and put her arm around her.
"We have to study.
Especially you."
"Icicle, you're so mean."
Outside of the class they meant Anna.
She was not in their class but in the high academic second year class.
"Hey Anna ," Icy Called out.
"Ready?"
"Let's go."
Anna Said.
"Free ice cream," Pinga muttered sadly as Icicle directed her from the building.
They had just exited the school when they were presented with an unusual sight.
There were a group of students crowded near the entrance to the school.
They could hear the high pitch voice of a woman calling out, "free sample cookies."
