"Cory," Topenga asked.
Cory looked up at his girlfriend.
"Hm?"
"What do you think?"
Cory blinked. He hadn't been listening and he knew Topenga would be annoyed.
"Sorry," he said, "What do I think about what?"
Topenga held in her sigh of annoyance.
"What do you think about having a party," she said.
Cory groaned. They had, just 10 days ago, had Topenga's latest party.
"Not for me," Topenga added quickly, "I mean for Feeny."
"I love that idea," Cory said, "But how are we going to do that? I mean… like when?"
Two hours later
"Does someone want to tell me why we're breaking into school," Shawn asked, "Don't we have enough of it during the day?"
"We're going to surprise Feeny with a party," Topenga whispered.
Feeny always left the window to their classroom open. Minkus climbed in first followed by everyone else.
"Okay," Minkus said, "What's the first step?"
"Let's hang those signs," Cory suggested.
They had made a sign that said WE LOVE YOU FEENY and another that said SURPRISE.
Shawn hung one sign. Topenga hung the other.
"Okay," Cory said, "We have all of the food here?"
"Yes."
They'd each gotten food from their house. Everyone brought a full bag of things from chips to pretzels.
"The cake," Cory said.
"I made it," Shawn said.
It was chocolate and had green icing. Green was Feeny's favorite color. They put the records in a pile. They did everything they needed to do to set up. It took about six hours.
"It's a good thing we told our parents we had a project," Shawn said, "If they knew that we were sneaking into school they'd kill us."
"I doubt it," Cory said, "Though it'd probably feel like that."
Everyone laughed.
…
Feeny came in the next day. He turned on the light and his entire class of twelve yelled, "Surprise."
"What in the-"
Feeny's eyes widened when he saw the sign, the food, the music and the games.
"What's going on here," he asked.
"We love you Mr. Feeny," Cory said, "We know that you've had a rough, few days and we wanted to do something to cheer you up."
"That is beyond sweet," Feeny said, "But how did you get here before I did?"
"We climbed in through the window," Topenga said shyly.
"You did what? Do your parents know what you did," Feeny asked, trying unsuccessfully to sound angry.
"We told them we had a group project, and we were meeting at the YMCA that night," Topenga said.
"Now let's party," Cory interrupted.
"Alright," Feeny said, "But don't you dare do anything like this again. You could have gotten hurt. What if one of you had fallen. I should tell your parents the truth."
"We did this for you," Cory said.
"I know," Feeny replied, "and I love you all. The next time you want to do something like this do it during the day when it's safe– if you even consider doing something like this again and putting yourself at risk there will serious consequences."
The kids nodded. Feeny would never act in a way that hurt them, but they also knew that they'd done something wrong without meaning to.
When Cory got home, his mother asked him how the YMCA was. Cory paused. He decided to tell her the truth.
"Well Cory," Amy said, "What you guys did for Feeny was very sweet. But you did put yourself in a dangerous situation and you lied to us. What do you think you learned from this?"
"To be honest instead of lying," Cory said.
"And?"
"We should have done this at a different time," Cory said, "So what's my punishment?"
Amy shook her head.
"No punishment," she said, "The point of punishment is to teach a lesson. You already learned that lesson. Now wash up for dinner."
