Author's Note: I apologize for the shortness of this chapter but I figured something was better than nothing. Life and all its craziness has caught up with me and I feel like I sometimes don't have time to breathe. I will try to keep updating as much as possible, and I will not abandon this story but updates will be slow.

Adoption 23

Friday came around all too soon for Spencer. When he woke up that morning his feelings were all jumbled up. He was excited for the family barbeque that afternoon where the students got to show their parents what they had been working on and it was a chance for the parents to meet the teachers. However Spencer was also upset that this meant it was the end of the SAT prep camp and he would have to wait until September to go back to school again.

Dave dropped Spence off that morning, promising he would be back at noon for the barbeque. He planned to do a small bit of research before heading back to the Academy.

When the time came he found himself walking in with the other parents. Spencer immediately spotted him and ran right towards him. After giving his son a big hug, he allowed himself to be pulled around to see everything. In the Gymnasium the students had set up displays about the concepts and material they had been studying. Spencer toured him around showing him all the displays, explaining things as he did so. Dave was definitely thankful that he didn't have to attend school any longer. He had been a decent student, excelling later in life in the Bureau and profiling but some of the math and the physics were over his head. Spencer brought him to his won exhibit showcasing the different mathematical knowledge and theorems needed.

"Looks amazing bud." Dave praised, beaming at his son,

"Thanks Dad"

"Now do we need to remember to collect that before we leave or does the school keep it?"

"The school keeps it." Spencer explained, before leading him to where the barbeque was set up on the school's front lawn.

Dave and Spencer sat down with a couple of his school-mates and their respective parents. The three boys were chatting about the improbability of physics in certain films which flew straight over Dave's head.

One of the other parents, a Mr. Denson, noticed Dave's expression and commented, "Tell me about it. The knowledge they have blows my mind."

"Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way." Dave responded, getting into a conversation about the antics of their sons before the headmaster drew everybody's attention.

"Thank you all for coming today. This is a great conclusion to what has been an amazing two weeks of learning and exploration. Students you should all be proud of your accomplishments and I wish you all success and good fortune on the actual tests. Parents I sincerely hope you are proud of what the students have achieved; I know I am. Desserts are on the lawn, and I'll see you all in September."

After chatting with Spencer's teacher for a couple of minutes and after Spencer had grabbed a few chocolates, they headed home.
