It was Monday once again, the previous weekend seemed to fly by for the students of Darklands High. Even though they weren't mentally put together, they all certainly looked organized and happy and healthy, most of them at least. Why, you may ask? It was picture day, the day everyone tried to look their very best for a picture that would still end up looking bad anyways due to the school's cheap camera equipment.

You'd think Kammy Koopa would put some more money towards her school, but no. She held fundraisers a lot, and did make good money as a principal and being Bowser's second-in-command as a side-job, so where did all her money go? Students assumed it went to her office.

Nobody had ever been in Kammy's office. Yes, when students are in trouble they're sent to the 'office', but that means the main office where the secretaries are. Like the rest of the school it's dark, grimey, and sometimes weird stains can be found on the walls. Creepy, right? Everyone thinks so.

Basically, the school looked like a dump, but Kammy had loads of money, so everyone assumed that she put all her money into making her office amazing. Lots of rumours were made about her office. Some of the students thought that it was like a witch's hideout - filled with potions, spell books, the sort. Some thought it was some kind of dream suite - covered in velvet, red lights, maybe even a television. Others thought maybe it was just a mini club, complete with a dancefloor and strobe lights.

The truth? Well, nobody knew except Kammy herself. And when someone asked about it, she shrugged it off and said that it was 'just a plain old office', but she had a sly look on her face. Even Bowser didn't know, and that's saying something.

Back to the students. Classes were - surprisingly - cancelled today. Weird, right? Well, Darklands had a different method for picture day. Everyone gathers in the gym for the entire day, bored out of their mind, waiting in long lines to have their picture taken. Some of you may think 'wow, that's so cool, they miss their classes for the whole day!'. Yeah, not cool. You had to wait for a few hours at least to have your photo taken, in a hot gym, filled with hundreds of kids. You can imagine why it's not an ideal situation, but if not: as the hours go by, the sweatier you get, so the worse you look for your photo.

Basically, it's a race to be one of the first to get your picture taken. You want to get there as early as you can to get your picture taken ASAP - while you still look nice.

As luck would have it, this was the day that the Koopa's car decided to break down in the middle of the road on the way to school. They planned to leave a bit early, so they could be early for pictures. Well, that plan was certainly ruined now.

"Seriously?!" Ludwig cursed at the wheel, he couldn't believe it. He had told his father strictly a week ago, 'our car is busted and one day it's just going to break down, fix it'. Bowser of course waved his hand and was all 'oh yes yes, I know, I'll fix it'.

Ludwig hated his father sometimes.

"Luuudwig," Wendy whined loudly. "How are we gonna get to school now? Pretty doesn't stay pretty for too long you know."

"Oh, we all know Wendy." Iggy rolled his eyes. "You haven't been pretty in… how old are you?"

A high heel was thrown right in Iggy's face, shattering one of his lenses in his glasses. "Argh! Wendy!" He freaked out, and she giggled.

"Oops. My hand slipped."

"Stop it!" Morton glared at his siblings harshly. "What we need to do instead of fighting is call someone to fix our car up, or to give us a ride."

"Yeah, and how long'll that be, genius?" Roy turned around from the passenger seat with a scowl on his face. "We should'a fixed this car up ourselves, King Dad's too lazy to ever do anything not involving princesses."

"What if we would've painted Princess Peach's face on the hood of our car?" Lemmy piped up, and Iggy laughed a bit.

"Not the time for jokes, guys." Larry complained loudly, fixing his mohawk up a bit.

"Okay, plan!" Morton spoke up again and whipped out his phone. "Don't worry guys, I'll call my friend Gabby and ask her to pick us all up. I'm sure she'd love to."

He dialed the number, and put her on speakerphone. She picked up after a few rings, "Hello?"

"Gabby! It's me, Morton Koopa Jr, from school! We have drama together!" He grinned wildly, and his siblings rolled their eyes.

"...Yeah, I know Morton, I have you as a contact. Can I help you?" Gabby sounded a bit tired, probably from being up at 6:30 in the morning.

"You got a car right?" He asked her, and after hearing a quiet 'mhm' from the other end, he continued. "Can you pick me and my siblings up? Our car broke down."

"...Aren't there like, ten of you?"

"No! Only seven."

"Yeaaah, my car seats two. Including the driver - me. Plus I pick Amethyst up every morning, so…" She trailed off, and everyone in the car groaned loudly. "Aren't you guys rich?! Call a cab!"

"That's what I'm thinkin'!" Roy piped in, and Gabby rolled her eyes, though they couldn't see it.

"Right. Well, sorry guys, can't help ya. See you at school!" And with a click, she ended the call. Morton sighed heavily - that was a disappointment.

What were they to do now? Ludwig protested calling a cab, but he also protested calling for help. His siblings really wondered why he was in charge sometimes. He wanted to solve the issue himself, but by now it was almost quarter to seven. Each of them tried calling their own friends, but either they weren't awake or they were unable to drive them.

"Ludwig!" Larry complained once again, he was cranky in the morning. "Just call a freakin' limo!"

"No!" Ludwig frowned. "I can take care of this problem myself." And with that, he climbed out of their car and slammed the door shut, where it then proceeded to fall off. "Oh you've got to be kidding me." Angrily, he called his father, who of course did not pick up. He was busy sleeping - ugh. How long did that man sleep for?! It's not like it was before sunrise or anything. Obviously.

"That's it." Iggy got out of the car, a bit clumsily since he could only really see out of one eye. "I'm walking to school, I'm not wasting time here."

"Iggy," Ludwig growled out. "I'm in charge, you do what I say. I will solve this problem myself, I used to be very crafty you know!"

"No one cares!" Roy called out from the car, and Ludwig rolled his eyes.

Iggy crossed his arms angrily, narrowing his eyes at his annoying sibling. "Yeah, well you can solve this problem, but while you do that, I'm gonna remove myself from this problem and just walk!"

"It's like a half hour walk to school!"

"Who cares!"

Larry also came out of the car now, cranky as ever. "I'm with Iggy, I'm out of here."

"Oh no you are not!" Ludwig was a bit sassy now. "Guys, I can fix this! Just give me five minutes."

"We've been here for fifteen minutes now!"

"Yeah, well, I needed some time to think!"

Eventually, all seven koopas got out of the car and began arguing over what to do. While they were doing this, they didn't notice the smoke coming from the hood of the car until it was too late. The car exploded with a loud bang, and the siblings stood there in shock. They were fine, no injuries, but covered in black soot. Breaking them out of the trance was a high pitched shriek of horror. Everyone turned to look at Wendy, but she shrugged.

"Wasn't me!"

They then noticed Roy looking as if he were about to shriek again. Though he was a tough guy, Roy put much work into his appearance, so to have this happen? Yeah, within minutes, all hell broke loose. They began arguing again - even Lemmy, who in all honesty had no clue what was going on, he just liked yelling.

Of course, to people passing by, this looked a bit ridiculous. And who else drives by than Gabby and Amethyst? "Oh my grambi." Amethyst noticed the scene first, sipping on her soda from McDonald's. Gabby noticed as well, and tried not to laugh.

"Well, that's unfortunate."

They stopped by the koopas, and Gabby rolled down her window. "Geez, you guys weren't kidding about not having a ride."

They all nodded, and Roy noticed Amethyst in the passenger's seat, who was looking at anyone but him. She had put a bit extra effort into her look today - rather than her naturally wavy hair, she had curled her hair and put on just a bit of eyeliner and mascara. It looked nice on her, and Roy felt the need to comment on it. "Amethyst! Lookin' good."

Amethyst rolled her eyes, "Wish I could say the same for you." She was still upset with him, and had the right to be.

"Yeah, I'm here too, thanks Roy." Gabby mumbled under her breath, not a big fan of the bully koopa. Gabby had also put a bit of effort into her look, she had curled her hair just like Amethyst but put her hair up in a ponytail, which suited her quite nicely. Roy ignored her, and wondered why Amethyst was so upset with him. Gee, it's not like he used her or anything just to get back at a certain redhead. Nope. He was a saint!

Okay, that was sarcasm. Roy was anything but a saint. He didn't intentionally play with Amethyst's feelings to get back at Abigail, but that's just what happened. He didn't know that the two girls were going to duke it out, but again, that's just what happened. Really, he didn't go out of his way to make her life miserable! It just happened.

Buuut, now that Abigail had completely rejected him? He thought Amethyst wasn't looking too bad herself. Pft, who needs stuck up popular girls? They disappoint him. As the two girls drove away, he had a new plan in mind: forget Abigail and go for Amethyst. He knew he could easily win her over, he just had to play his cards right.

Back to the situation at hand. They were pretty much stranded, and after the explosion, guess who's phones weren't working? Theirs. Now they really couldn't call a cab, or a repair service. "Better start walking." Iggy mumbled, and the group reluctantly followed him. It was going to be a long walk to school, that's one thing they could agree on.

At school, there were already a ton of people there. Pictures had already started to be taken, and the lines were already insanely long. Two girls waiting together were Candy and Cheryl, who both looked absolutely lovely today. After the incident at homecoming - Iggy running away from Cheryl despite being her date - the two girls vowed to not think about a jerk like him, though it was hard. They had a sleepover the night before and did each other's makeup, Candy even let Cheryl borrow one of her cute dresses.

"I still can't believe he did that." Cheryl couldn't get her mind off of Iggy. What had she done wrong? "What did I do wrong?"

Candy shook her head. "You didn't do anything wrong Cheryl. Who just runs off on their date? A jerk, that's who!" Candy couldn't help but think if he'd done the same thing if she was his date instead. She brushed that thought aside, and tried to comfort Cheryl. "Forget him. Who needs a guy like that?"

Cheryl nodded softly, but still felt unsure. She really did like Iggy, and wanted to talk to him about that, but feared he'd run off once again. Maybe the best thing to do was to wait it out.

Another group waiting together in line were Norman, Lindsay, and Vivian, who in all honesty didn't look too different than they usually do. That doesn't mean they didn't put much effort into their looks - they just always look nice, so today they didn't really need to change anything. Lindsay was currently ranting to them, who were listening attentively.

"And then, she texts me 'why did you block me on instagram?'. Like that wasn't obvious! I don't know what Abigail wants from me." Lindsay was talking about her situation with Abigail of course. The ginger was trying to make amends with her, but the brunette wasn't having any of that drama. Nope. She was done.

"Well, I think she wants another chance Lindsay." Vivian nervously twirled a piece of her hair, looking down at the shorter girl. "But it's up to you if you wanna give it to her - just remember, she was your best friend."

Lindsay and Norman both cringed at 'was'. It was always hard losing a good friend, but what other choice did Lindsay have? She knew she didn't fit in with the rest of Abigail's friends - er, that is, were they all even friends anymore? Huh. She didn't even know. She knew Mimi and Wendy were fighting about something, and Luvbi was fed up with all of them, but that's pretty much it. Either way - they were the stereotypical mean girls, and she liked to think she wasn't one of them.

She looked at both of her new friends and grinned at them. She was much happier with these two anyways - they understood her. And so did Lemmy, and sweet O'Chunks! Yeah, these guys were always understanding and never had drama, she loved it! But, did a part of her secretly miss Abigail?

She remembered their sleepovers, staying up all night gossiping about boys, or about drama with girls. They spent nearly every holiday together, they were practically sisters. Their families loved each of the girls, whether they were related to them or not. Lindsay remembered pigging out with Abigail on thanksgiving, giving each other blind makeovers, crying over sad movies, surprising each other with christmas gifts, and always being there for each other.

That's where it went wrong - Abigail wasn't there for Lindsay. And she couldn't move on quite so easily from that. She rarely held grudges, but when she did, she held them for a while. So for now at least, Lindsay was still mad at Abigail.

Another person that's good at holding grudges was Amethyst, who walked into the gym with Gabby, where the pictures were being held. She was digging a fry out of her take-out bag, when she bumped in someone. "Watch it!" She hissed out, and looked up to see who it was.

Electra brushed off her outfit and scowled at Amethyst. "How about you watch it? Also, food isn't allowed in here." She walked away a bit angrily, and Amethyst quietly mimicked her.

"'Food isn't allowed in here', like I care." She bit down on a fry and there she began holding a grudge against Electra. Yeah, Amethyst could be quite bitter, which a toad had recently found out. As if her day couldn't go any worse, here came Zip.

"Hey, Amethyst." Zip greeted her, and Gabby was confused.

"Since when were you two friends?"

Amethyst groaned loudly and rolled her eyes. "We're not." She turned to face Zip, who looked a bit hurt. "What do you want from me? Why do you keep talking to me?"

"Amethyst, darling, I am offended." He placed a hand on his chest in fake offense. "All I wanna do is get to know you! Is that so bad?"

Gabby eyed him warily, and then looked at Amethyst, who just looked exhausted. "Fine," The noirette mumbled. "I can try to be friends with you, though I still don't even know why you wanna be friends with me."

Zip grinned happily and nearly jumped up and down in excitement. "Great! I'll see you later, friend." He winked at her and walked away, and Gabby was utterly confused.

"What the hell just happened?"

"I'll tell you later," Amethyst walked away to go stand in line, and Gabby blinked, a bit dazed.

"Uh… okay?"

Hours passed by, and students got more and more bored by the minute. The entire school was packed into one gym, and of course, it was getting hotter and hotter the more people entered. By noon, everyone was a sweating mess. It was fall, but the temperature was still hot out and Kammy refused to turn the air conditioning on.

To add to the awful day, sort of like the cherry on top, was the fact that since it was technically still a school day, no one was allowed to leave the school until the final bell rang, which was still in a few hours. Even students who had got their picture taken weren't allowed to leave the building - but they could wander the school, which was slightly better.

Now, most people were bored, but one person in particular had a rather nasty plan. See, Doopliss was not a nice person. This was a school in Darklands after all - Bowser's kingdom, so no one really cared if you did something mean. In fact, some teachers encouraged it. This isn't to say that every student is a villain or anything like the sort, but it contrasted harshly against Mush High's students - the Mushroom Kingdom's high school.

Back to the point - Doopliss had a trick up his sleeve. Remember him giving Gabby a nice, friendly threat at homecoming? Well, he wasn't kidding. He had a mean plan, sort of as a warning 'don't tell anyone what I did or you'll get something even worse than this'. Gabby had no idea of this until around 1 in the afternoon, where Mr. L, the robotics and math teacher, passed by her and had to do a double take.

"Gabby?" He asked a bit curiously, "Why are you in line again?"

"Uh…" She was confused, to say the least. "I've been in line all day, what do you mean?"

He laughed a bit before handing her a card - her student card. "You don't need to pull my leg, I know you probably just wanted to ask for your student card with your picture on it! It's uh… a nice pose you chose to do, Gabby." She raised an eyebrow and quickly took her card.

On it was all her student information: her full name, her homeroom class, and her photo. But… oh geez. Gabby grimaced at the picture - what the hell was that?

It was her, but she had never gotten her picture taken today. She knew it was Doopliss - it had to be, she knew she didn't take a photo that day and her eyes in the photo looked a little duller than normal. Now, this wouldn't be so bad if it was a nice picture, but it wasn't. He had posed as her, and made such an ugly face - he posed in such an unflattering angle, making it seem as if she had a million chins and a unibrow! What the hell was his deal, and how did he even do that?!

She stormed out of line and looked around for him, quickly finding him. He was the only duplighost at this school anyways, so it's not like it was hard for her to find him. He didn't notice her coming, so when she turned him around and lifted him up by his neck, he was a little shocked to say the least. "Ack!"

"You little demon, what the hell is your issue?! You have five seconds before I pound the dupli outta you, and you're just a pathetic little ghost!" This was uncalled of for Gabby, because she never really cared enough to make any enemies, but this was too far. She literally hadn't done anything and now for her senior year, she was stuck with an awful picture of her.

"Put me down…" He croaked out, barely able to breathe. "And I'll tell ya!" Reluctantly, she put him down, and he coughed a lot. "Geez, you're stronger than you look."

"Don't care, tell me what your deal is."

He managed out a little chuckle before standing up straight. "Think of this as a warning - I can do so much worse if you tell a soul about what I did."

"Is that all that was? A warning?" Gabby sneered at him, narrowing her yellow eyes. "You wanna play a game, Doopliss? Huh?" She crossed her arms, and he laughed right in her face.

"Is that a challenge, Gabby? Because I'm not scared." He stepped forward, and his eyes flashed red. "You don't know who you're messing with."

"Oh no, I'm fully aware." The girl cleared her throat and smirked at him. "I'm a Gadd. I'm not scared of any ghosts." And with that, she turned around and walked away. She wasn't scared of a freak in a sheet like him - she knew how to handle ghosts, especially pesky ones like him. Oh yeah, she'd handle him-

She walked right into someone, none other than Wolfe. "Ow!" The lycan rubbed her head, mumbling to herself, "Jeez, that's happened a lot lately…"

"Wolfe!" Gabby stared at her in shock - yeah, she could use her help. "Just the girl I wanted to see."

"Uh… I am?" The white haired girl was a bit confused, she hadn't really talked with Gabby before.

"Yes!" Gabby clapped her hands together, thinking of the perfect scheme. "You like pranks right?"

"I sure do," Wolfe was a bit more interested now.

"Here's what I need your help with…"

Around 2 in the afternoon, the two girls were peeking out from behind the bleachers, watching Doopliss wait in line. He was looking around skeptically, as if he was waiting for something to happen. He had no idea.

Gabby was a smart girl, she took notice of the small things, just like her genius grandfather. She knew that the photographers the school were very tired, who wouldn't be after taking pictures non-stop of students for a few hours? Gabby was also very good at disguising herself and other people.

Okay, no, that was a lie, but she assumed it was easy enough. So, she dressed Wolfe up as a photographer, though she wasn't quite sure what those looked like so she just dressed her up like an old man. Close enough, right? She was decked out in a fake moustache, was borrowing Gabby's glasses, and was wearing a huge sweater. Yeah, it was a pretty solid disguise. Right before walking up to one of the photographers - the one Doopliss was in line for - she whispered to Gabby, "You owe me one."

"Yeah yeah, go get 'em tiger!"

"You're the one actually getting him, but alright!"

Wolfe made her way over to the photographer, as Gabby watched from the shadows. She was practically blind now, and as far as she could tell, Wolfe's disguise was looking good. The other students seemed to think so too, no one really batted an eye at her. Within a minute, she was in charge of taking the photos.

Gabby gave her the simple job: pose as a photographer and take a picture at the right moment. What was the right moment, you ask? You'll have to wait and see.

Gabby's own part in this plan was a little more… challenging. It would be simple if she had her glasses with her, but she gave them to Wolfe to disguise her face. Now, Gabby was slowly approaching the place where students sit for their picture. Doopliss was up next, Gabby needed her aim to be absolutely perfect for this shot, though things were very blurry.

"Next! Come take a seat, sonny boy!" Wolfe called out in an old 'grandfather'-like voice, and Doopliss strolled up to the seat. "Uh… okay, smile for the camera!"

Wolfe looked over at Gabby to make sure she was ready for it, but as soon as she did, a pie came hurtling towards the back on Doopliss' head. With a loud 'splat', he was coated in a cherry pie. At the exact same time, there was a bright flash and Wolfe grinned. "Wow, lovely photo. Okay, next!"

"I-what?!" Doopliss looked down at his, now red, sheet. "No, I need a retake. Come on, that- that wasn't fair!" He whirled around looking for the victim, but Gabby had already ran away.

"Nope, sorry, no retakes! Now can you please move, you're holding up the line here."

"W… Wolfe? Is that you?!" Doopliss narrowed his eyes, and Wolfe quickly set down the camera.

"Uh, nope! Gotta go, got things to do, people to see, bye!" She ran off, and Doopliss considered running after her, but instead he just grumbled and wiped some cherries out of his eye.

"Freakin' Gabby… I'll get her."

The day was nearly over, and just then, the Koopalings finally arrived at the school. 'But wait', you say to yourself, 'Their car broke down around 7 am, and it's around 3 pm! What were they doing for so long?'. That's a story for another time, they went on a quest of their own. For now, they just arrived at school still covered in soot, grime, and dirt, ready for their pictures. They trudged along to the photographers, and at this point there were no longer any lines left, though a few people scattered around.

In just a few minutes, the final bell rang. Everyone was dismissed, and Candy saw Iggy walking by. "Iggy!" She needed to have a word with him, what was going on with him at homecoming? She cared about him, and about Cheryl, so she felt the need to sort things out for everyone's sake.

He turned around to look at her, and his breath caught in his throat, causing him to cough in her face. "S-sorry!" He turned away from her. He found her so pretty, and same with Cheryl, so you can imagine how hard it was for the poor koopa.

He took his love triangle situation much more seriously than Larry did. Iggy truly cared and was close to both of the girls he was crushing on - he wasn't a hundred percent certain they liked him too but he had a feeling.

Larry though? Well, he wasn't quite as close with Electra or Wolfe yet. Things were quite different: Larry wasn't sure if he crushed on either of the girls, the girls weren't as close as Candy and Cheryl so they weren't trying to preserve their friendship, and they were much more upfront about their feelings than the other pair of girls. So yes, things contrasted quite a lot, but one thing was for sure: both of the guys were still sorting out their feelings.

Back to the current situation, Candy was looking up at Iggy, who seemed quite distant. "Cheryl told me what happened at homecoming."

"Nothing happened."

"I saw it, Iggy." Candy was firm in her tone of voice, and Iggy looked guilty. He regretted running out on Cheryl, but he wanted to do the exact same thing here. Candy sounded hurt, and Iggy felt awful, but he truly didn't know what to do with all his feelings. "What's the matter, what happened? Is this a personal problem, or something else?"

"It's nothing, Candy." The green-haired koopa shook his head. "I gotta go, long walk home. See ya." He nearly sprinted away, and Candy was left standing there in shock.

Meanwhile, Gabby had met Wolfe behind the school, so Wolfe could give her back her glasses. "Here ya go, did I do a good job?"

"Oh yeah!" Gabby put her glasses on, and revealed Doopliss' student card. The photo was iconic: The pie had just hit Doopliss in the back of his head, and cherry filling was splatting everywhere, all over him. The face he made was just priceless- yeah, Gabby was very proud of her little plan. "So, what do I owe you now?"

Wolfe smirked a bit, her fangs showing here. "Well… you pulled a prank on Doopliss, so I want to pull a prank on Electra."

"Yeah, sounds reasonable."

"Wait, really?"

Gabby rolled her eyes jokingly. "Yeah, pretty much the entire school knows about your little feud with each other, including Larry."

"Wait-" Wolfe was beyond stunned. "Larry knows about it?!"

Gabby nodded, the curls in her hair bobbing up and down. "Morton told me all about it. He was the one who told Larry, since he was so oblivious. Apparently Larry doesn't know what to do about it."

The young lycan had to think for a moment. "So… if I sabotage Electra's chances with Larry just a bit, do you think he'd develop some kind of crush on me? Maybe? If I get her out of the picture?"

"Well, I'm not saying he doesn't have a crush on either of you - according to Morton, he thinks he might like you both just a bit. The thing is, now you gotta focus on making your connection with him a bit stronger."

"Okay… so, focus on him and I, and not on Electra. Got it. I'll still need your help though."

"Hm?" Gabby tilted her head, wondering what Wolfe would want out of this.

"Can you maybe, I dunno, set me and Larry up on a date? I don't care how you do it, I'd just love for it to happen. Thanks Gabby, see ya around!" Wolfe spoke quickly and then rushed away, leaving Gabby alone with her thoughts.

"Uh, yeah. See ya." 'Darn,' she thought. 'How am I gonna set those two up and make it look casual so the date isn't awkward?'. She knew she needed some help, and she knew just where to find it.

To no surprise, a small group of friends were gathering on the stage, since some of them shared a love for theatre and some of them were just there to support. Lindsay, Lemmy, and Ludwig were all on the school's main stage, acting out some lines from Romeo and Juliet in preperation for the play, while Vivian, Norman, and O'Chunks watched (and occasionally clapped).

Gabby made a grand entrance, and the six others turned to look at her in a bit of confusion. "I'm here to speak with the, uh, matchmakers?"

Immediately Lindsay and Lemmy brightened up and ran over to her. "Hi, here we are, how can we help ya?" Lemmy jumped up and down, eager to help.

"I need to set up two people…"

OPINION TIME (because I love giving you guys what you want and hearing your thoughts!): Do you guys want me to write a few chapters about (not completely, but somewhat like a side-plot) the Mushroom Kingdom's high school 'Mush High' or is that too much for this story? If you guys think it would be interesting or just too much for this story please let me know: and if you like it, let me know who you'd wanna see as a student attending it, and if they have any kind of relationship with your character if they're in the story.

Also, much bigger question: I'm not asking who you'd like to see end up with Iggy and Larry, I'm wondering if I should even let anyone end up with them after all. Though I'd personally like to see the love triangles be resolved and let a relationship or two blossom, I feel as though it wouldn't be fair to the people who submitted the character that wouldn't end up with their love interest. Yes, I know 'that's just how life is', but in this story it doesn't have to be. I've been on the edge about that, so let me know your opinion on that!

Finally, I'm thinking of doing a little small oneshot about why the Koopalings took so freakin' long to get to school this particular day. I have an idea or two, but I wouldn't want to include it in this story because it's a little off-topic in regards to the plot and everything. If you'd like to see that, let me know.

And as always, thank you all for your reviews and if you have any ideas for future chapters please let me know! Next chapters will be halloween, the play, and then I'm debating doing a huge sleepover involving the girls and the guys (not together of course - or will they be together?) and maybe a huge field trip. Thanks for reading, please review (and sorry for this long note)!
