Pete: "hello?"

Mr. Reynolds: "hay Pete"

Pete: "it's three in the morning, what do you want?"

Mr. Reynolds: "just wanted to catch up, see how are you doing, So...how are you?"

Pete: "seriously?"

Mr. Reynolds: "yeah!"

Pete: "well, I'm having trouble because this idiotic teacher who's as smart a sphere is squared is calling me at three in the morning!"

Mr. Reynolds: "...well, you didn't have to be mean!"

Pete: "I'm hanging up!"

Mr. Reynolds: "wait, can you get to my classroom? your friends are here, and we need your help"

Pete: "fine, I'll be there in fifteen minutes"

Pete brushed his teeth, fixed his hair since Jenny was gonna be there. He didn't bother to change since he thought he would only be there for a couple of minutes. Oh, how he was wrong.

🏠
Pete arrived at Mr. Reynolds's door and went inside to find all of his friends waiting for him. Jacob was wearing a weight t-shirt with a hand band with Japanese writing on it and red and black pajama pants. Danny wore a button-up blue and wight striped pajama shirt and matching pants as he sipped at his coffee. Leo wore a weight t-shirt and blue pants.
Sarah wore a baby blue pajama shirt and pants. Jenny was already dressed in her normal wear. "How come you're dressed up?" Asked Pete. "I thought everyone was going to try to look like their normal self, presentable, no offense" replied Jenny. "When you say no offense, it still comes out offensive," said Jacob. "What do you mean presentable?" Asked Pete. "I mean, properly clothed and looking good and whatnot. "I did my hair!"
"And I did all of this!".
"What time did Mr. Reynolds call you?" Asked Danny.
"Like three!" Replied Jenny
"How did you get dressed that fast?" Asked Sarah "didn't you drive here?".
"What can I say, I'm a multi-tasker"
"...ok, next time we meet we talk about safety rules on the road!" Said Pete. "Hey, guys!" Said a voice from the door.
Everyone swung around to see Jeremy at the door frame. Jeremy had a hunter's hat on and a coat. "Why do you look so awake, also why are you dressed like that?" Asked Danny. "I go out in the early morning, with a bag of different blades of grass I've collected and I use them to make bird mating calls to attract birds so I can watch them and maybe some time kill them and feed them to their newborn!" Said Jermey deadpan in no expression. "I'm just joshing you, I just do bird watching!".
"Ok then, well you know why Mr. Reynolds brought us here, it's the last day of school, what could he possibly need us to do?" Asked Danny. "Hi kids!"
Came a voice behind everyone making them jump. Everyone turned around to find Mr. Reynolds in the back of the class. "Mr. Reynolds, why did you bring us here?" Asked Sarah. "Because it's time to take your finals for my class, I've graded everyone except for you guys!" Replied Mr. Reynolds. "You're just doing this because you forget to test us, didn't you?" Asked Jacob. "Maybe, I'll never tell, well, either way, you need to complete your you won't be able to take the second course next year, and you have to take this to actually get the credit!". Everyone just looked at each other and sighed, Pete knew he had to be the one to say this next thing. "We were planning on not taking this class next year".
"We thought since we this class doesn't really fill the qualifications we need for our jobs what's the point in taking it!" Added Jeremy. Mr. Reynolds looked shocked and upset at the same time. "It's ok, we'll see you next year, this year was really fun but there are still three more years left of college," said Sarah trying to cheer him up. "Well, it's community college so we could do an extra two years with that four!" Said Jeremy. "NO!" Replied everyone dreading the idea they would have to do two more extra years of college.
"What do you mean it's not important, it's leadership!" Said Mr. Reynolds.
"Is it, we've just been doing some random classes this year, we want to be in a class where we can actually learn useful stuff, like economics, businesses, and political science!" Said Leo.
"Oh, and sword stuff-" added Jacob Turing back to face Jeremy. "-there's a class where they teach you to use words, how cool is that?".
"Pretty cool Jacob, im thinking intro to dance!" Replied Jermey. "You, dance, that's strange seeing you in dance class!" Said Danny. "I think I would do in the class, plus, the girls!" Said Jeremy. "Oh yeah, who can forget about the girls" added Danny. "I of course didn't!" Joked Jacob. "I don't understand, what about girls in dance classes?" Asked Leo. "Let me explain something to Leo-" said Pete getting ready to talk. "A girl in dance is usually, pretty, popular, and most out of the others, flexible, let me tell you, this one girl I met, we talked after class, keep in mind this was high school, I didn't take dance I just went to talk to my friend who was there and I met her. Now we talked a bit and we went back to my place and we totally-" Pete stopped talking and looked over to Jenny who was staring at him annoyed. Pete looked back in forth at Leo and Jenny and quickly added. "Read the Bible, yep, the good old Bible causes that's what a young good Christian as myself did, totally nothing else!".
Jenny just rolled her eyes and looked back to Mr. Reynolds who was still upset."We already decided where taking advanced History, im sorry Mr. Reynolds!" Said Danny.  "We just wanted to tell you, so you'll know, well Finnish the class, so what is the test?" Asked Jenny. "Hold on, let me go get it for you guys!" Said Mr. Reynolds leaving the class and locking the door behind him. "Wait, did he just lock the door on us?" Asked Jacob. "Yeah, you didn't notice all the clues around the room, it's an escape room!" Said, Jeremy. "Why didn't you tell us, I wanted to sleep after this!" Said Pete. "I thought it would be fun," said Jeremy. "Well of course it would be fun for Pioneer Jeremy, but I want to get out of here!" Said, Danny heading over to the door. Danny started jangling the doorknob and then started knocking on the door with his fist. "You're not gonna be able to break out of the room!" Came a static voice of Mr. Reynolds coming from a walkie-talkie that was left on the desk. Everyone raced over to the desk and Pete grabbed the walkie-talkie. "What kinda sick game is this?" Asked Pete annoyed at Mr. Reynolds. "Calm down, this is the final test, lest see what unimportant information you can use to get out of this room!".
Pete looked around and found a red ribbon attached to the walkie-talkie and then saw another ribbon connected to the air vent. "Well, I guess someone needs to climb up there!" Said Pete. Everyone quickly rose their finger to their nose and all said "not it!". "Fine," said Pete moving a chair to the vent and opening it muttering "Petes got this, Pete you can do this, not like I'm the smallest person here, man would be nice if someone else did this-".
"Fine Pete, I'll do it!" Said, Sarah and Pete turned around and said. "No, I got this, I don't need help, toss me the walkie-talkie!" Asked Pete. Jeremy tossed him up the walkie-talkie and then Pete started to crawl through the air vents. "Now how do we talk to Mr. Reynolds?" Asked Sarah. Jeremy took off his jacket and started to climb up the chair into the vents. "Where are you going?" Asked Sarah. "I'm going after Pete!" Replied Jeremy. "Well, get back safe," said Sarah with a small smile meaningful smile. "Dont worry, I'll be back!" Said Jeremy. Jeremy then jumped off the chair and went back to grab his jacket. "What are you doing?" Asked Leo. "It's could in the vents, plus im not dumb, why would I go into the vents, it's incredibly dangerous at this school!" Said, Jeremy. "What do you mean dangerous?" Asked Jenny. "Oh, there's a wild monkey in the vents!" Said, Jeremy. All of a sudden screens could be heard from the vents and the sounds of a monkey.
"I can't believe I didn't tell you guys," said Jeremy. "When did you find a vent monkey and how long were you gonna hide such a cool thing from us?" Asked Jacob. "Until now I gusse, I noticed him after the paintball game!". Everyone looked at Jeremy with a confused look. "What paintball game?" asked Jenny. "You don't remember?" asked Jeremy.

🏫
(Flashback to paintball game)
Everyone was sitting in their room studying when they heard screams and yelling outside of the study room. "What in the hell is going on out there!" Said, Pete angrily getting up from his chair and opening the door, and getting pelted with a bunch of paintballs. Pete closed the door and sat back down. "Didn't you just get that shirt?" Asked Leo. "YEAH!" Yelled Pete.

🏫
(Back in Mr. Reynolds room)
"Oh, that's what that was!" Said Jacob.
"I remember I checked the vents to get my raw ham out of there and that's where I saw the monkey!" Said Jeremy.
"Wait raw ham, why do you have raw ham in the vents?" Asked Danny.
"Fridge broke!".
The sound of the ceiling breaking and Pete smacking into the ground broke the attention of the conversation. Pete got back up and faced the window. Everyone raced over to the door and Jenny asked "are you alright Pete?".
Which Pete just replied with a thumbs up and then threw up onto the floor. Everyone just replied with a disgusted face and then Pere opened the door for all of them. They all stepped out to see Mr. Reynolds waiting for them. "Nice job everyone!"
"How was that the final?" Asked Leo. "Oh, it wasn't, here the real test!" Said Mr. Reynolds "finish that when you want!".
"Then what was all of that?" Asked Danny. "I just got mad, sorry!" Replied Mr. Reynolds. Everyone started to walk off. "Bye guys, see you next year!" Said Mr. Reynolds waving goodbye. "What do you mean next year?" Asked Pete. "I'm the advanced history teacher!"
Pete just stood there for a little bit and smiled and waved and said "goodbye, see you next year. Pete and the rest of the group walked off. Mr. Reynolds felt a wired felling under his shoe and looked down. "Who left all of this good soup up on the floor, im gonna have to get a bowl for this and that's breakfast!"

(Hay everyone, just because this was their last day of school doesn't mean it's the finale. Three more episodes and an old, old chacter are coming back.)
