It's been pretty much 3 months and Miss Kwan of all people quitted her tuition class teacher job since like any modern youngster that faced the challenges of adulthood, job commitment isn't more of her thing and she does not want to drive herself crazy from overworking herself. And a as result, she can finally find peace within herself in spite of the worries that she had about her future and what other, even her family members would think of her. But she knew that it was best that she remind herself to think positively on the sufficient yet modest amount of money earned during her job as a tuition class teacher. 

On the bright side, it was still a relief to her that she can now freely manage her time even more whenever she wants to. 

And have we forgot to mention that today was a Friday?

It was Friday afternoon at recess and Miss Kwan was just minding her business and trying to fetch some printed notes for Ms. Creecher as she bumbled slightly to avoid accidentally tripping and falling over, which was made slightly harder since she's wearing high heeled boots. But as she walked by, she saw a man with grey hair, who happens to be Bash Street School's caretaker. He was holding a mop in his right hand while he was talking to Dennis and his friends. He was just telling them on how he earned the title of a 'Prankmaster General', but Miss Kwan got really, REALLY suspicious and assumed that he was a fishy individual who is up to do something unspeakable to those four pupils of hers. As she frowned, the school caretaker himself had finished telling his tale and turned his head around. And what he ended up looking at, was her demanding frown threatening him to spill the beans. 

"Oh sorry Miss, Ralf here. I'm just here hanging out with some kids, nothing special... just me telling them on how I-" said Ralf, the school's caretaker as he introduced himself.

"Tell me, RALF. I demand YOU to tell me on what you're about to do to those poor kids." said Miss Kwan to Ralf.

"Well, it's not what it looks like really, but truth is-"

"What truth?! You're being too friendly to those children, RALF. I have no choice but to take matters INTO MY OWN HANDS." said Miss Kwan as she pulled a pepper spray out of her pocket, as she threatened Ralf by aiming the nozzle of the pepper spray at him.

"Wait Miss, you've got it all wrong!" yelled Dennis as he stopped her from almost blinding Ralf.

"What?" 

"He's not some shady fellow, he's actually a super cool guy who's cool with the kids," said J.J. "And by the way, when did you get so suspicious around Ralf?"

"Sorry kids, I... uh- just jumped to the wrong conclusion and got a little too carried away," said Miss Kwan as she bowed her head down and scratched it awkwardly. 

"It's okay Miss, at least it was a relief that Dennis stopped you from getting Ralf blinded," said Rubi. 

"Paul's also pretty worried that you're gonna blind our favourite caretaker too," added Pieface as he meekly waved his potato 'Paul' around. 

"What we're waiting for kids? Time for some planning for pranking!" said Ralf enthusiastically as the four kids(plus the dog Gnasher) followed him afterwards.

Miss Kwan was just left her speechless for a minute before following him to catch up with them afterwards.


At Friday evening...

Miss Kwan came into Miss Mistry's rented house as Miss Mistry invited her to watch the movie classic The Rascals on BetFlicks. According to Miss Mistry, The Rascals is a group of kids who stumbled upon an old treasure map while trying to save their suburban home from foreclosure and must find the treasure before a family of criminals get their hands on it. And that movie is still essentially remembered as the childhood classic movie even at modern times. 

"Woah, didn't knew special effects can make totally blam creature designs come to life!" said Miss Mistry as she commented on a scene where the main characters found themselves imperiled by a rampaging giant squid.

"Didn't knew this scene was in the movies?" Miss Kwan responded.

"It was unfortunately, but thanks to BetFlicks adding that scene in, we can finally watch it along with the actual movie without resorting to a DVD menu." said Miss Mistry excitingly.

"Well kudos to the crew behind the movie itself for letting BetFlicks make that deleted scene into the movie itself," said Miss Kwan before she sipped on a can of Vita-Plus carbonated drink. 

Friday night 8.30 p.m.

It was essentially the time the movie ended as an hour and 55 minutes had passed ever since they started watching the movie together on Miss Mistry's laptop. 

"Wooo! It was a wild ride isn't it, Bernice?" said Miss Mistry as she throws up her arms in the air joyfully. "Yes it is apparently. I see some flaws in some scenes like with how ridiculously choppy the special effects came across, but in short, it was a fun ride in spite of that," said Miss Kwan. "But to be honest, I met Ralf today and I joined him in pranking." 

"Woah, you mean you were hanging out with the school's caretaker? I heard he's a super cool and fun guy in spite of being well... you know..." said Miss Mistry.

"Yes I know, turns out he isn't some lame caretaker that anyone in the school will ignore," added Miss Kwan. "Not even you, right?"

"Well I was really sorry for not having much time to get to know him. But at the bright side, it was pretty fun watching one of our favourite childhood movies with you," answered Miss Mistry. "Ooh! I found this new show called Teen Cosmos. Care to join in on watching the whole thing in it's totally blamazing state?"

"Sure think, go figure."

And so they spent time just chillaxing and enjoying casual young adult stuff until it was the time for Miss Kwan to go back to her flat.
