Let's Try This Again Shall We?
After a few minutes talking with Dr.Weisman Principal Kelly decided to try again. This time he decided to talk with the first student he saw. And by coincidence he saw Lance and Pietro walking down the halls. "Alvers, Maximoff!" He called to them. "My office now!"
They shuffled in and sat down, giving him surly looks. "Okay what did we do now?" Lance grumbled.
"I wanna talk about what happened at the dance Friday," Kelly said.
"WHAT?" Lance shouted. "I don't believe it! Every little thing that goes wrong at this school we get the blame! And now you wanna pin a dinosaur rap on us!"
"I thought they were dragons?" Pietro said. "But you have a point! You got nothing on us Kelly! Nothing!"
"I didn't say…" Kelly began.
"Do you have any proof that we had something to do with this?" Lance snapped. "Did somebody say we had done it? I want names! I have the right to know who said that and what their health plan is so I can send them to the right hospital!"
"No one said you did it…" Kelly tried again.
"CALL MY LAWYER! I'LL SUE!" Pietro screamed at the top of his lungs. "THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! AN OUTRAGE!"
"There is no need to bring a lawyer into this," Kelly groaned.
"Wanna bet?" Lance snapped. "Hey technically those dinosaurs attacking us is your fault!"
"THIS IS AMERICA! I HAVE RIGHTS!" Pietro kept shouting.
"WHAT?" Kelly snapped. "How can those things be my fault?"
"O SAY CAN YOU SEEEEEEE!" Pietro started to sing.
"Cool it Pietro!" Lance snapped. Turning back to Kelly with a smug look on his face he continued. "It happened on school property, right? You're supposed to keep us safe right? It's your responsibility to see that we are safe and secure and protected."
"Yeah doesn't your dinosaur insurance policy have anything to say about that?" Pietro snapped.
"What dinosaur insurance policy?" Kelly gulped. "We don't have an insurance policy on dinosaurs!"
"Whatddya mean you don't have a dinosaur policy?" Pietro snapped. "You mean to tell me that if a student gets eaten by dinosaurs it's his own fault?"
"There is no such thing as a dinosaur insurance policy!" Kelly shouted.
"How do you know that?" Lance snapped. "Maybe you skimped on the money and got the cheap stuff!"
"WHAT?" Kelly shouted.
"Hey it happens!" Lance said. "Maybe you wanted all the money for yourself! So you skimp on a few costs here and there. So what if a kid gets eaten by dinosaurs? Who's to know? So long as you have your secret Swiss Bank Account and your mansion in the Bahamas what do you care what happens to the education system?"
"I smell lawsuit!" Pietro perked up.
"Yeah that's a great idea!" Lance said. "We could sue the school for a cool couple million easy!"
"NO!" Kelly started sweating. "No lawsuit!"
"Why not?" Lance told him. "We're always being encouraged to reach our full potential? And a couple million will help us with that I can tell you that much!" Lance stood up. "This is the land of the fee and home of the paid! This is a land where the victims are entitled to justice! I am a victim! I was traumatized!"
"Me too!" Pietro stood up.
"You can't sue the school for damages by dinosaurs!" Kelly said, more to himself than to the boys.
"Well it would be pretty stupid of us to sue the dinosaurs for damages," Pietro said. "How much cash could they possibly have?"
"We want our money!" Lance shouted.
"You are not getting a dime!" Kelly shouted back.
"We'll see what the judge has to say about that pal!" Pietro spat.
Lance and Pietro marched out of the office singing, "AMERICA AMERICA! WE WANT OUR MONEY! WE'LL HAVE A BASH WITH LOTS OF CASH FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA!"
Kelly grabbed a bottle of scotch from underneath the desk and poured himself a glass. "This is not my day…this is not my day…."
