AN: I put a Harry Potter reference and a That 70s Show reference somewhere in the story. If you can find either of them, tell me in a review. Hint: The HP was reference from Goblet of Fire.


The next day started off with an explosion. Apparently, Bustopher Jones was new to being a cooking teacher, because when he set up the new ovens well...they combusted.

"What happened in here?" Tumblebrutus asked as he entered the blazed room.

"Erp," Etcetera said, "I guess Bustopher Jones is Com-Bustopher Jones."

"That's funny." Tumbles said with a chuckle.

"Yeah...I guess it is." She said with a satisfied look on her face.

Alonzo walked in and said, "Whoa. Was there like...fire in here?"

"And Sherlock Holmes solves yet another impossible mystery." Etcy said sarcastically. That caused Tumbles to laugh so hard, that he rolled on the floor. Alonzo was very good at math, but everything else...not so much.

"Students, I'm afraid that you'll have to start your projects at home. Pick somebody's house and you can start it there." Mr. Jones told the class. He dusted himself off and walked over a pile of what used to be the recipe papers.

"We could go to my house," Jemima said to her group, "I have a decent oven in my basement." Lonz, Cass and Misto nodded in agreement.


After school, the group went to Jemima's basement.

"Cool basement." Misto said as he sat in a plaid beach chair.

"It's almost forty years old." Jem said as she sat on an old couch. Alonzo sat next to her and Cassandra sat on the arm next to him.

"Ok, so what are we making?" Cass asked putting her arm around Lonz.

"Well, it's almost my dad's birthday. We should bake him a cake." Jem suggested.

"Ok," Misto said looking into the drawer, "how do you spell 'Munkustrap?'"

After an hour or two of relentless baking, the result was...well, it looked like a black blob with the words "Happee birthday, Munkistrap," written on it.

"Alonzo, you spelled it wrong." Jemima said with a stern look on her face. "Who wants to play truth or dare?"

"Oh, it doesn't matter," Cass said "Lonzie and I have to go back to my house to study."

"Nah, I'm gonna stay over here." Alonzo said to her.

"No, Lonz. We need to...study." She repeated.

"Everlasting Cat, you're dumb." Misto said rolling his eyes.

It took a while for Lonz to realize what she meant by studying. Finally, he said, "Oh."

"Yeah." Jemima and Misto said in unison.

"Let's go, Lonz. We need to go study." Cassie said as she went out the door.

"That means we're gonna have sex." He said about to get up and leave.

"Ok, it's just the two of us now." Misto said as the door slammed shut. "I need to talk to you about something very important."

"Yes?" Jem said as she took his paws. He looked into her eyes and saw a history of disappointment. She knew that he wanted to break up with her, and he felt so guilty.

Maybe just a little longer. To make her feel happy again. He thought.

"I just wanted to let you know that...I am more in love with you than ever before." He said with a gulp. Jemima knew this was a lie. She's been lied to so many times it's as if she expected it to happen again. She never had a tomfriend who didn't turn out to disappoint her, cheat on her, lie to her. She was only wondering one thing; would a lifetime of disappointment ever end?
