The next day, Weenie, Vulpix, and Lavatiar woke up the kids while Nanny was on the phone, making arrangements for someone to come to their room at 3:00.

"Come on, you four, wake up." Weenie said.

Eloise giggled since her dog was licking her. "Weeeniieeee..."

"Okay, okay, we're up..." Vincent chuckled, lightly taking Vulpix off his stomach so he could get out of bed.

The kids overheard Nanny on the phone and she had hung up.

"Good morning, Nanny," Eloise smiled. "Was that Philip?"

"No, but he called earlier." Nanny replied.

"See? I told you he'd come back." Eloise smiled.

"Yes, but he said in his own words 'wild horses couldn't drag me back into the hotel room from the getgo'." Nanny quoted.

The kids didn't understand what that meant, but it sounded like Philip wasn't going to be coming back.

"Now, let's get you kids dressed with some breakfast, we have a long day ahead of us." Nanny urged them to get dressed.

Eloise understood, she shut the door and handed everyone their day clothes.

"Why didn't tell your nanny about going to school?" Vincent asked her.

"I was going to, but maybe we should wait what happens today." Eloise suggested.

"Yeah and hopefully it won't be so bad." Akito said.

They all then got dressed, hoping this would be worth it all.

"What are we doing today anyway?" Eloise asked her nanny.

"What do you think?" Nanny smiled back. "Finding you a new tutor for you and your cousins."

The kids looked to each other, then got their breakfast of cereal and toast while Nanny had a bagel with some tea.

"Okay, I think now is a good time to tell her." Akito said.

"Umm... Nanny?" Eloise spoke up after they ate.

It was too late, they had to interview new tutors for the day, Eloise sighed, she then decided to keep it in for as long as she could.


The first candidate was an older woman. "Oh, my, aren't you just the cutest things?" she smiled to the four kids.

"Thank you." the kids told her, trying to be polite.

"Yes you are, yes you are!" the woman cooed to them.

"Yes, they are." Nanny smiled in return.

This woman had taught for about 20 years, but Eloise declined her since the woman had an obsession with cats and Eloise wasn't too crazy about cats herself. The next one was a man who was very laid back and willing to let kids do whatever they want, in which Nanny declined. Finally, there was a woman who loved children and she was very social, calm, and educated, but she was afraid of the animals and just couldn't work around them, if it wasn't for the animals, she would've been perfect for the job.


The kids left after their tutoring interviews.

"The minute we're back in the room, I'm gonna tell her." Eloise said to her cousins as they decided to go see their friends once school was let out for the day.

"Agreed, there just weren't any perfect tutors in that interview." Akito said.


In Palm Court, the kids all sat together, even Bruce and Bobby were there.

"So, what happened to your tutor, Eloise?" Bruce asked.

"Umm... I think he left to pursue other opportunities..." Eloise lied.

"Yeah, right," Bobby scoffed. "You guys made him quit. Admit it!"

"Close your trap, Bobby!" Bruce glared at his brother.

"Make me, Brucie!" Bobby retorted, resulting in another fight with the twin boys.

"What are you guys going to do if you can't find someone to replace Philip?" Margarita asked the cousins.

"Go with Eloise's plan." Akito said.

"What is that?" Margarita asked.

"Oh, I dunno... Maybe like go to school like the rest of you guys." Eloise smiled innocently enough.

Bobby merely laughed in their faces, but he then saw they were serious.

"What's so funny?" Eloise demanded.

"You in school?" Bobby smiled evilly. "Following the rules and fitting in with everyone else? You gotta be kidding! They'd kick you out of school within a month!"

"Oh, don't listen to him, you guys." Bruce defended them, especially Eloise.

"I'm telling you, take Eloise out of school and put her in with the real world, it'll be a disaster, trust me!" Bobby folded his arms.

"Listen, Bobby, you better stop." Akito warned.

"Besides, you're wrong, we would do fine in school!" Estelle glared at him.

"I'M wrong?" Bobby just mocked. "Then let's make a bet: If you do end up going to school, and they don't kick you out before the end of the year, I promise to be nice to you for six whole months!"

"And clean Skipperdee's cage once a week." Eloise added in.

"Fine, but if they do kick you out, that turtle is mine!" Bobby then said. "And I want your Pokemon, including yours!" he then looked evilly to the Fudo siblings.

"How's about we be your servants for one whole week instead?" Akito suggested.

"No way, I want the Pokemon and that turtle, you chickens!" Bobby declined. "Besides, you all know that you'll never last!"

Eloise knew it was risky, but she agreed wit hthe bad twin boy and shook his hand. "Okay, Bobby, it's a bet!"

"Eloise, our Pokemon were presents, we can't give them up!" Estelle cried.

"Trust me, guys, I know what I'm doing." Eloise told them, so sure she would win this bet.

"Okay, we're trusting you." The Fudo siblings said.

"Bobby, this isn't fair for them you; already know that Akito, Estelle, and Vincent aren't going to be here for a whole year." Bruce glared at his brother.

"Oops, I guess I never thought of that." Bobby said, acting like he had forgotten.

After milk and cookies, the kids went upstairs.


Nanny hung up the phone and looked exhausted. "Oh, dear, I never thought finding a tutor for you all would be so hard..."

"Well, I think we have a solution for that, Nanny." Eloise spoke up.

"And that's that, dears?" Nanny looked to them.

"We want to go to school!" the kids said together in unison, making Nanny's eyes go wide, not expecting that.

"Oh, dear, children; are you sure?" Nanny asked making sure they truly wanted this.

"Oh, yes, we absolutely most absolutely want to!" Eloise chirped.

"Your mother didn't go to school, Eloise..." Nanny reminded her.

"I know, but please Nanny..." Eloise begged.

"Yeah, we really wanna do it!" Vincent added.

"Please..." Akito and Estelle pleaded together.

"I'll try to see what I can do to get you into school." Nanny smiled to them.

"Yay!" The kids cheered.

Nanny smiled to them.


For a little while, it was hard for Nanny to find a school for the kids since most of them were already filled up, but she was suggested a school that wanted to see the kids early in the morning, earlier than when school normally starts.

"Your parents are so proud of you, dears," Nanny smiled to the kids as tomorrow was going to be their first day of school. "Remember, if you don't like it, you can always change your minds."

"We know, Nanny..." Eloise smiled sleepily and excitedly.

"Yeah." The Fudo siblings agreed sleepily and excitedly.

"Good night, dears." Nanny smiled and let them sleep until tomorrow morning.


"I don't know what's so special about school anyways." Vulpix whispered.

Lativar just shrugged himself. "Ya got me..."

The kids just slept, feeling very excited about their first day of real school tomorrow.
