Nibbles got home. She entered through the back door of the pizzeria, trying to be sneaky. The place was empty at night. The chairs were already on the tables. As she was about to go upstairs she bumped into someone.
"M-mommy!" Nibbles exclaimed, surprised. Chica had her hands on her waist, with a serious expression.
"Nibbles! Why did you stay out for so long? You missed dinner! I was worried about you!" Said Chica, in a worried tone. She picked up Nibbles and held her firmly.
"Ugh... I'm ok, mommy... I was at Jr's house!" Said the yellow fox, nervous.
"And you didn't tell me? You could have called! Oh, I was so worried!" Chica hugged Nibbles harder.
"Ow... I'm ok, mommy" The fox smiled nervously with the pain of the hug.
"I will make your dinner. And you please don't be late again" Said Chica, in a caring, but serious tone.
"Yes, mommy, I'm sorry" Said the little fox.
"At least I helped Jr." She thought, with a feeling of happiness.
Two days later, it was Monday. Toy Freddy was going to give back the tests. The students all looked apprehensive. The bear got up from his chair.
"Well, I am going to give you the corrected texts, I must be honest, most of you did very well!" Said Toy Freddy, smiling. He put the paper sheets on each student table. In a short time all the students were commenting on their grades.
"Chipper! Chipper! Look! I made 7.5/10! Do you think daddy will be proud?!" Nibbles asked him, looking excited.
"Uh... Yeah, I guess" He said.
"How much did you make, Jr?!" Nibbles asked the bear.
"7.5/10 too, hehe" Said Jr, showing her his test sheet, looking happy, but a bit embarrassed.
"Ooh nice! What about you, Honey?" Nibbles asked her, who was looking at the sheet. She didn't listen to Nibbles and read the paper cautiously, as if she was checking if everything was right.
"Let me see it!" Nibbles said, getting the paper from Honey's hand.
"Huh?!" Honey didn't expect that. Nibbles put her eyes on the sheet and opened them wide. Her jaw dropped.
"10/10?! Wow! Congratulations, Honey!" Said Nibbles, smiling at her friend. Honey didn't know what to do. She immediately blushed.
"T-t-thanks..." She mumbled, covering her face.
"Hey Chipper, how much did you make?" Asked Jr to his friend, smiling.
"Uuuh... 10/10 too!" Chipper said with a forced smile. Nibbles suddenly grabbed the sheet from his hand.
"Haha, very funny!" She said, showing her tongue to him.
"Hey, this is mine...!" Chipper yelled, being called out by Toy Freddy.
"Mr. Chipper, there is no need to yell in the classroom" He said, very strict.
"But... Ok, dammit" Chipper lowered his voice, looking angry.
"Pffff... 5/10? Really, Chipper?" Nibbles held her laugh.
"Shut up!" He responded, crossing his arms.
"Hey, shorty, don't be like that. If you want me or my uncle to help you studying..." Jr. said, smiling at Chipper.
"I'm not shorty! And I don't need your help!" Said the chicken, angry.
"C-Chipper..."
"What?!" Chipper yelled turning around. He immediately regret doing so, seeing he had yelled at Honey.
"Honey... Sorry! I..." He was interrupted by Toy Freddy.
"Mr. Chipper, do you want to be put outside the classroom?" Said the bear, in an angered tone. Chipper sat down.
Honey covered her face and looked down, crying.
