Willy was waiting for his six kids after a long day being at home studying to gain knowledge and use it to help his kids if and when they needed help with their classes and homework.

Willy looked up and saw them walking out, talking with each other over their day.

They were quite unsure about everything.

"I am not sure if I will lose my art teacher.", said Tina. "She seems upset that I know more than the average student. I want to know why, I mean, I thought she would be happy that I am very advanced."

Albert shook his head. "I am not very fond of my science and math classes. Everyone in those classes call me a nerd and say that I am weird.", he confessed.

Hector piper up. "That is what it was like in history for me. Not only that, but some of the facts are a little off."

Tito, Bonzo, and Pop looked at each other. They seemed to not be all that fond of their classes either, but they decided to ignore their feelings and go about their day.

"Don't worry, it is only the first day, I am sure it will not be for the whole year.", said Tito, trying to light up the mood. "I am sure everything will be OK.", said Bonzo in agreement.

Pop sighed. He wasn't so sure about everything, now.

**********************

Back at home, Willy was talking with his kids. They had told him about their day at school.

Willy felt sympathy for his kids. He sighed.

"Don't worry, everyone. I promise things will get better, and things will not be bad. But, if things continue to be problems or they escalate, then let me know. I will not tolerate my kids being treated unfairly. Or even bullied."

Everyone looked at each other with hope and expectation. They hoped Willy was right.

At the very least, they felt better knowing that Willy would be there for them if things would get out of control.

*******************

At the other side of town, a certain blue sword was walking home. He was quite off put but still slightly hopeful that his adopted father would be in a good mood.

Hopefully.

Rocky walked along the front door and entered.

Milly was right there, standing. Much to Rocky's surprise.

But, things really quickly became serious as Milly slowly approached him with a glare on his face.

"Rocky, why do you think I am standing here today?", he asked, menacingly.

Rocky gulped nervously, but knowing the routine, he just decided to be calm and address the situation calmly.

"You want to talk to me about something important, I believe.", he replied.

Milly growled. "Oh, Rocky. This is more than important! THIS IS VITAL!!!!!", he shouted.

Rocky got nervous but quickly brushed it aside.

Milly continued. "You are nothing but a disappointment. I didn't have to adopt you, but I still chose to. But, you slacking and not having ANY smarts of ANY kind is really testing my patience!"

Rocky sighed. He hated when Milly would talk to him about this all of the time.

Milly got close to Rocky and faced him down.

"You WILL make me proud! If you don't, then don't bother coming home!", he said.

Rocky nodded. He said nothing in retaliation.

"Now, go to your room! No good grades means no dinner! So, go to bed hungry and take that as a lesson for you!"

Rocky went upstairs, feeling the worst. It was time for him to go to bed hungry once again.

...

"Looks like I am going to push harder this year. I hope I can do it. I am going to need some help. But, who would be naive enough to help me with this?!", he thought to himself.

Then it hit him.

"Looks like it is time to bring in the big guns. I am making some 'friends'... hahaha!"
