Mr. Williams resisted the urge to blink at the sight before him. The urge won.

"Asa you cana see, I have a lotsa children here. Now, You canna ignore the older ones for a second, I just needed them to help me walk the younguns here. Your main concerns willa be with my boys, Chibi, Ness and Popo, and my youngest, Nana. Chibi and Ness are in 5th and Popo and Nana are in 3rd." Mario said.

Mr. Williams, Joe to stuck up students who in 8th grade would later call the electronic media teacher 'chuck' and also cheated the system and devised to destroy the elementary school multiple times, looked at his new charges who he would have to integrate into the school. Ness appeared ok. Chibi, well. He was quite sure the boy was wearing a dress. The boys older brother, Link from what he could gather, was in the same thing exactly only he had sheer white long underwear on, as well as matching gloves and boots. There was also a faded line that was apparently from a belt over the boy's shoulder. A discerningly sword-shaped fade was also visable. That and both Chibi and Link had , well. Pointy ears. That brought him to Nana and Popo. The two were wearing identical parka's, only Nana was in pink while Popo was in light blue. Wide gazing eyes peered all around from beneath the fur lining.

"Well. Alright. We'll asign Nana and Popo to mrs. hall. She's been a good teacher for a long time now. Chibi and Ness, hm. I think we'll put them into Mrs. King's class. I'll get the scheduals and supply lists for you." He said after a few moments of uncomfortible silence.

He turned and rumaged through his desk. Finding the appropriate folders, he lade them out on the desk.

"Now. There's a universal LISD Open house on tuesday after school. I'd invite you to come and learn. School starts at 8:15 on the dot. It ends at 3:15, through teacher's reserve the right to withhold the student if he breaks disaplenary bounds. Mrs. Hall has a volenteer program for her students, however, so be sure to have someone pick up the students when she tells them to leave instead of the usual time. Our Coach is Mr. Sanders, he's a sort of guidance counsler. And I want you students" he said, shifting his attention from Mario to the youngsters "To come to me whenever a student insults you or anything of the sort." He shifted his attention back to Mario again. "James H. Whiteside Elementry is very high ranking amongst lubbock schools, and I'm sure your children will enjoy it here. We can arrange for one of your older children to have an open at Coronado and bus to Irons Junior High, so that they can walk your children home if you feel the need."

"Oha, Thats wonderfulla, but uh, ya see, My boysa, and well, my girls, they'll bea going to Lubbock High, for the ah, acadmics, you see. Besides, Little chibi, or Link as he tells his freinds, is a student of martial arts, the same asa my older boys, and I trust him to keep my youngstas safe" Mario regrettfully explained.

"I see, Well. I've had the pleasure of working with Mr. Vogler at Lubbock high, and I'm glad to say your making a wise choice sence your focusing on Acadmics."

As soon as the italian-accented man left with the information and his charges, however, Mr. Williams called central office and asked for the records, sence he obviously didn't trust Mario too much.

It was a brisk walk home, and Yoshi was eager to carry both the Ice Climbers the entire way.

Mario knew that he was under suspect. He decided to do his best to end that little problem. That of course meant clothes shopping after the lubbock high arrangment.
