"That was so cool that you got to see your dad, Miranda," Michelle said as she was on the COMPUTER, webcam messaging with the girl and Layla before they would go to bed. "Did he bring you anything?"

"He brought us PIZZA," Miranda smiled. "It was awesome!"

"Pizza?" Layla spoke up. "Lucky... Daddy had an open heart surgery to preform while Mom had to go on a stake-out... Great Ah-Mah came over and she made me and Devin eat brussel sprouts."

"Eww..." All three of the girls shuddered.

"Are you in trouble because of Bernice Test?" Michelle remembered what happened in school today.

"No, Mom says just not to let it happen again, she was a lot nicer to me with it than Principal Delise was." Miranda informed.

"Principal Delise is trouble, but if you're quiet and just respect her, you'll be fine." Layla soothed.

"I hear her boyfriend's the Grim Reaper." Michelle's eyes widened.

"Michelle..." Miranda and Layla rolled their eyes.

"What? It only makes sense!" Michelle spoke up. "I bet that Principal Delise tried to kill herself one time and the Grim Reaper made her immortal and said she will only die when he says so and he's gonna marry her and they'll move to the Underworld together!"

"Michelle, we told you not to listen to or spread rumors," Layla lectured, then covered her mouth. "Crystal balls! I sounded just like my father..."

"Well, it's getting late, I'll see you guys in school tomorrow." Miranda smiled.

"Yeah, better get some sleep," Layla smiled to sign off. "Night, girls."

"Night, Layla." Michelle and Miranda signed off.

Miranda turned in her rolly chair from her desktop COMPUTER and stretched a bit with a yawn. She was so exhausted after her first day of real school. "Well, night, Miranda, it's gonna be a bright future for you and your friends..." She crawled into bed and instantly fell asleep.

The next morning, Jen took Miranda to school again. Jen was proud that Miranda was willing to go back even if her first day didn't go so well. What with getting sent to the office because of a messy fight in the cafeteria. Jen kissed Miranda's cheek and allowed her to go off and meet with her friends.

Miranda smiled as she saw Michelle, Devin, and Layla, already sitting with them.

"How come you never let me talk on the computer too before bedtime, huh?" Devin asked his twin sister in outrage. "I have just as enough right about it as you do!"

"Because, I was the one who could get rid of my brussel sprouts quicker before Great Ah-Mah or Monroe could notice." Layla huffed.

"Stupid magical talking dog," Devin growled, folding his arms. "Why couldn't Uncle Ray-Ray look after us?"

"Because he's in college, remember?" Layla smirked.

"My Uncle Dexter went to college once," Michelle smiled at a story she was told to at dinner time at her house. "Mom said he was in second grade then and he flooded the whole university and Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Jeff had to pick him up and take him back to school with her."

"Man, I bet he got in a lot of trouble back then." Miranda giggled.

"Oh, yeah, he was crazy for a while, but soon he went back to normal... Well, normal for him." Michelle replied calmly.

"I wish I had cool family stories like you guys." Miranda put her hands to her face.

"Hey, you do have a cool family," Devin informed her. "I mean, your grandparents were John and Miranda Mavinsky."
