"Rrr" Riley was on the floor shredding a piece of paper into tiny pieces.

Yuugi noticed her and bolted toward her.

"Riley, that's my math homework!"

Riley looked up at him with big, brown eyes. She proceeded to drop Yuugi's homework-or what was left of it anyway-at his feet.

Yuugi sighed and picked up the dog-slobber covered paper.

"How am I going to explain this to Mrs. Andrews?"

The next day, Yuugi showed up at school with the piece of paper that used to be his homework. Math class was first thing in the morning.

"Yuugi, where's your homework?" Mrs. Andrews asked him.

Yuugi glanced up at her, aware that the 'my dog ate my homework' excuse wasn't going to work. Only this time, his dog really did eat his homework.

Yuugi handed over his ripped-up homework sheet.

"What happened to your homework?" Mrs. Andrews demanded.

"The puppy got it." Yuugi muttered.

Yuugi received a detention for ripping up his homework and then lying about it.

Author's Note: This is based on a real-life event. My dog actually ate my little brother's homework. Twice. R&R?
