When we walked in the office, VP Nero was busy mutilating violin music as always.
There were several cracked windows in his office, and several kids who were waiting so far out as even in the lobby had to plug their ears.
He grinned as we walked in. "So, how are the three Mous-keteers doing?" he asked stupidly. Then he roared in laughter. By himself.
If you know Nero, then you know he always laughs at his own jokes. So far, nobody's had the heart to tell him it's not cool to laugh at his own jokes, unless at least one other person was also. But this wasn't the case.
No one ever laughs with him. And if anyone ever laughs, they're laughing at him.
He looked around, and noticed the secretary, the Lost Found Monitor, and few teachers in the office weren't laughing. He cleared his throat, and said, "Don't you think that's funny?" They frowned. The teachers continued pouring coffee into their mugs, the Lost Found Monitor resuming her job, and the secretary finishing her phone call.
Nero folded his arms and spat, "We'll see who's laughing when your paycheck statement becomes the subject of the matter. Now that's funny!"
The teachers, Lost Found Monitor, and the secretary pretended to laugh like crazy. One teacher even slapped his knees.
"That's better," Nero said, smirking. Then he glanced back at us and said, "Now what's the deal here?"
"They were fighting," our teacher said. "In the hallway."
"What the H-E-Double Hockey-sticks does that matter?" Nero growled. "You interrupted me in the middle of my concert and disturbed my fans who were peacefully watching."
He shot a glare back at everyone else, and they quickly turned from their work to him. "Oh yeah," they said. "We were watching, all right."
"See?" he said, turning back to the teacher. "Now take these three back to their classes and leave me alone, schmuck!"
Everyone gasped. The teacher swung at Nero with all her might. He doubled backwards and fell over a cable.
She stiffened her back and returned to class. We left, too.
"Mous-keteers," Gory said, smiling evilly. "That's your new nickname, Quagmire!"
"Bite me," Quigley muttered.
