It was the next day and we're all gathered in Miss Griselda's office standing in a line in front of her desk getting reprimanded for our previous expedition to Cloud Tower.

"Your intrusion to Cloud Tower castle was extremely rude young ladies. You exposed yourself to great danger! That's the reason why your powers have been revoked." Griselda stated standing up from her desk and continuing on her lecture. "It is sufficient punishment. For me however sufficient is not enough. Now just so you remember this lesson, you will spend the entire day at school and you will clean the castle from top to bottom."

"Um... the whole castle?" Flora asked surprised by the punishment.

"No just the stairs, corridors, classrooms, and bathrooms." Griselda said sarcastically.

"Oh well then that's okay." Stella said making us look at her to try to shut her up before she gets us in more trouble, though that wasn't the case. "I thought it would be worse honestly."

Though this made me cringe while Bloom just giggled at her blonde friend. Clapping her hands Griselda summoned a light purple glow that moved onto the opposite side of the room and manifested some brooms, buckets, and rags.

"And since you do not have access to your magic power for the moment. These are your work tools." Griselda stated grabbing a broom and handing it to Stella. "And Zariel, Alastair cannot help you."

"Yes ma'am." I said knowing that this is going to take a long time.

"What a strange object. Let's see what my computer says about it." Tecna informed starting to work on her computer before Griselda shut it closed.

"Oh, and one more thing. No techno gadget allowed." Griselda ordered looking a Tecna in the eyes.

"Now that worries me." Tecna stated looking glum.

"Yeah, it shows the sad news has obviously upset you." Musa teased the purple haired girl.

"Well, by technical standards she's actually shown too much emotion." Flora said joining in on the teasing.

"I know. Ever since I met you guys, I easily lose control." Tecna informed casually making us all start laughing at her bluntness. "It wasn't a joke, but a simple observation." She retaliated making us laugh more.

"Young ladies!" Griselda exclaimed making us calm our laughter. "Tomorrow, I'll conduct an inspection. Everything better be clean, now go!" She ordered making us leave her office and start on our work.

At the moment, Flora and Tecna decided to start on the main hall while the rest of us cleaned the classrooms. 

"Alastair would you mind moving over there?" I asked pointing to where Stella was sitting on the desk while I was trying to sweep the floor, but the big feline was in the way.

The only thing I received was a yawn and him moving to lay near the desk to catch another nap.

"I can't wait to be finished." Bloom sighed out as she and Musa cleaned the seats.

"Yeah... We'd be done a lot sooner if you know who helped us." Musa complained wiping the sweat off her brow.

"This isn't so bad compared to other punishments." I said looking at the girls remembering the time J was punished with cleaning the dragons' stables.

"We agreed that you were gonna clean the floor-" Bloom stated pointing at our blonde friend before getting a quick response from her. 

"No, you three agreed." Stella stated before grabbing her nail file from her bag and used the tool. "Hey, you want me to break a nail?"
