Pet School: The Biggest and The Boldest

Chapter 13: After Dark Fest

Week 5 Monday
Coco's POV
Why am I packing in the morning? I must be overexcited. Camp's next week, we got our packing lists last week on Friday. Everything in DSP must be resolved or something considering, Emerald's not feasting herself on some sort of gossip, Cindy and Blueberry are now talking again and suddenly Aina, Amber, Delilah and the rest of them and all of their dogs actually got detention! Wooo! "Coco why are you packing now?" Bailey asked me, surprised he's up! "The excitement. Our last camp was last year. Of course I'm overjoyed." But I'm afraid of whatever dramas could be coming up. "Cindy's not awake for a change." He told me. BREAKING NEWS: Bailey and Cindy have swapped bodies! DUN DUN DUNNNN! We went to Cindy to see what's up with her. "Huh?" She said half asleep. "Why aren't you up?" I asked her. "Yeah what's up with that? Normally you're going off at me for 'sleeping in' but look at you!" Cindy smiled as if she knew why. "Miss Nina's taking the day off because she's needs a break. In other words - we've got a sub." She smirked. "Why is it I finally wake up at the right time on a day you need me to, tell me why is that? Why?" Bailey stormed off. I think he was mainly upset with himself, but I can't tell. I want to ask him how he woke up because he doesn't have an alarm but I don't want to make him grumpy.

Bailey's POV
Zane. Why does he call at insane times in the morning. I was minding my own business in my own dreams when he has the decency to WAKE ME UP with an annoying phone call which he didn't notify me about! Na-dah! Now he won't answer my text messages I then called him, he picked up. "You're awake for a change!" He greeted me with. "All thanks to you!" He gave me a perplexed look. "What are you talking about?" He asked me. "You called me!" He started laughing. "Oh you were the one my butt called. I accidentally sat on my phone. Oops!" He sat on his phone and his butt called me? I mean, what do you expect from Zane. That's Zane for you. "Anyways bye!" "Wait-" before I could finish he hung up. I'm not going to call him back.

"So... any of you guys going to the After Dark Fest?" Atlas asked us. "What's that?" I asked him. "It's a really cool nighttime festival for dogs and cats. I'm going and so is Paisley." "Oh yeah, I'm going to that too." Elton said. "WHAT? Paisley didn't tell me, I'm so in and I'll get Cloud to come." I also want to come. "I don't think I can go. Got to catch up on homework." Stewart said. I'm so going. Maybe I can get Gypsy to come too!

At night (time for After Dark Fest)

"What are you doing?" Coco scares me as she asks me. "What are you doing?" I ask her instead. "Getting out to go to the After Dark Fest." She tells me. Oh she's going too? "Same here!" Cindy came out of nowhere. We all discussed it and decided we'd go together. "I go to them each year." Coco said while we were walking. "They do it every year. It's so fun. Loud music, colorful lights, big crowd, merch and FOOD!" Coco explained to us. It was only a 10 minute walk. "This land was bought my a couple with cats and dogs. Their closest neighbor is miles away and their pets host these things here." Coco said. "And they just let their pets do it?" I asked her. She nodded. That's crazy. It looked big and colorful. Lots of land. You could hear the music blaring. We walked up, a security guard. A dog around the same size as Cindy. Not very scary. "Hello you 3! Oh Coco, good to see you again!" He seemed happy. "Good to see you Max." She said to him. He gave us little cards and allowed us entry. "What are the cards for?" Cindy asked Coco. "1 free food item and 1 free merch item." We walked in through the entrance, we bolted to the food stall. We even ran into Atlas, Paisley, Akira, Arthur, Artemis and Lacy. "Hey guys! How coincidental we all run into each other?" I said. "Haha yeah! You guys getting food too?" Akira asked us. "Of course! I'm starving." Cindy exclaimed. We then got our food. I got myself a massive slice of cheese pizza, Cindy got a big corn dog and Coco got herself a funnel cake. We went with our friends to a free table. "Boo!" Gypsy snuck up on me. "You made it!" "Sure did." She smiled. She sat next to me. Everyone said hello to her. She had herself meaty pieces of fried chicken. "Lacy and I are going to go and enjoy the music. See you guys later!" Artemis said. "See ya!" We said to her and Lacy. It was tempting to go out into that big crowd and listen to the DJ. "Hey, you wanna go out there when you're finished?" I asked Gypsy. I had finished my pizza slice, somehow! "Yeah definitely. I'll go get us some drinks. What do you want?" She asked me. "Just a coke." She came back. She brought some money with her just in case. She handed me the coke and she got a sprite. She finished her chicken in the next few minutes and we got up join the crowd. All I remember after that was all of the green and purple neon lights waving around, everyone singing or dancing or both, in a big crowd with a cool DJ.

When we walk home.

"I am soooo TIRED." Coco said. "Surely not? I'm still wide awake." I said to her. Cindy made a noise of realization. "What?" Coco asked her. "It's a school night! Monday night!" Cindy sounded worried. Pfft. Why should be she worried? "Chill, it doesn't matter. Trust me." I told her.
