"WAKE UP SILVER! WAKE UP!", "WE GOTTA GET READY OR ELSE MR SKUGES WON'T BE HAPPY!"

"Arbon, give me 5 more minute-"

"ALRIGHT GET PILLOWED!"

"D-AH, FINE I'll get up!" Silver proceeded to throw the pillow back at Arbon.

"Go SHOWER before he comes, otherwise you can't shower for the entire day because we are learning in the living room of th- muffling"

Silver decided to grab his clothes and walked off the bedroom to the shower connected to the supposedly living room. Arbon is still in the bedroom trying to find his glasses after throwing the pillow at him.

"Just like always a chaotic morning, everybody got used to it. Unlike the two other that would fight to death if they dare-"

"Aha! There's my glasses. Finally, I can see...Woah. Silver, you left a mess, but I'll promise once it's your turn to wake me up I'll give you a mess to deal with too. Just like how we take turns."

Arbon looked at the window seeing Mobians collecting rice and building stuff outside. He felt revitalized after all the calm scenery looks repeating forever on end with crops repeating over and roads leading to somewhere unknown. Somewhere unsafe.

"I wonder, what do the roads lead to?"

Arbon sees a blur in the distance, realizing that his glasses aren't good enough. It's the only thing he can salvage as it requires an eye inspection to which he can't access. Groaning with adjusting his glasses around to stop the blur on long distance stuff, he'd have to stick with such annoyances. Realizing Mr. Skuges is coming, so he walks to the living room or the so-called small school that is just outside of our bedrooms. A weird wacky noise coming from the other bedroom opened the door forcefully letting out a ball of fights between Ichi and Calic bumping their heads at the end of the living room.

"WHY DID YOU TAKE SHOWER FIRST?" Calic is trying her best to do whatever to support her.

"BECAUSE YOU WON'T TAKE A SHOWER! EVEN THOUGH YOU PROOOMMMIIISSEED TO DO IT. Looks like we have to reset our turns... again." Ichi, being distasteful, doesn't want much.

"Calic, just go take a shower, please????" Arbon pleaded to do so.

Calic just accepted and got into the second shower room. Arbon decided to just sit down in front of the TV and prepare his textbook on the table.

Silver walked out of the bathroom with a green shirt and a sock better than the already boring pajamas he wore before Arbon forcibly woke him up. Still feeling sleepy, Silver grabbed a textbook and sat next to Arbon anyways. Ichi followed, and Calic sat right next to Arbon on the other side to avoid messes. They prepared their day, and as the clock went past 8, Mr. Skuges should come out anytime now. As the door opens revealing a fat-like hawk teacher with square glasses holding a bunch of books. He sighed and sat at his table, he did look happy as this time there's nothing wrong today. 

"Alright, I'm glad we all came here to learn, so I'm looking at the teacher's handbook for distant villages

"Alright, I'm glad we all came here to learn, so I'm looking at the teacher's handbook for distant villages. I'd say we'll tune into channel DLTV 14. As there's a language class for today."

"I suppose you should bring out your textbooks, and learn. I'll still help you along the way, for now listen to the box or TV teacher.

Mr. Skuges grabbed the remote and switched on the television tuning into channel 14 listed by the satellite handbook for DLTV 14. The class or the so-called 4 friends proceeded to learn until the end of the lesson where they have to take notes of the questions given on the TV and answer them. Mr. Skuges continued to help them, despite his abysmal knowledge.

'Y'know this looks troubling, do you have any clue for this question?" Calic asked Silver for help, despite already asking Mr. Skuges he tried answering

"Hmm, I do have it! I think that you should answer it like this, but I'm not sure if this is correct or not. Wait, lemme try again..." A bunch of erasing and scribbling to change his answer to what he thinks correct. "How about this? I tried my best, I think this is the correct answer." Looking at the younger dog pleading for help, he felt happy. "But! You'll have to listen to how I got this answe-"

"Why? Like always?" Ichi is feeling a bit lazy today. Silver sighed, "I think that even Mr. Skuges is in front of us... He doesn't mind us cheating at all. After all, he's supposed to be working for the building, but we're just taking his time. I mean if you feel troubled, I can just give you the answer." 

"Just gimme the answer, it's easy!" Ichi doesn't want any more to bore his mood from the already ruined morning with Calic.

"It's that we struggled together and still tried our best to become good people, honesty is key to knowing. Plus, there's no embarrassment in a classroom with 4 friends. So, helping each other is what I wanted to see, but never to cheat and fall out." A harsh comment from Mr. Skuges as he talked to Ichi. "I won't remind you of this again, and you'll pace yourself. There's really no punishment for getting the question wrong or correct. It's just to test your mind." Mr. Skuges continued, and then he gave the students a long pause before saying.

"I just want to see the good in students." and a santa-ish chuckle coming out from Skuges. "Alright, put your textbook down. That's enough for this morning. I've already forgotten to give you breakfast."

Mr. Skuges opened up his bag to grab a few boxes for breakfast. Everybody rushed to open it and get each of them. "Thank you for the food!" The three exclaimed except Silver turning his head around.

"It's always good to be kind, and always appreciate what you have. So... Silver and everyone. Say it out loud, people will eventually thank you back, so know how to respond."

"Thank you for the food!" continued by munching noises followed by Calic shouting "It's so delicious, d-ddid you cook it yourself?" Mr.Skuges replied, "Calic, you guessed the cook. It was me all along. Just like always. Except, sometimes I bring food made by other Mobians to give something else for you teens changing flavors preferences."

After a bit of eating, everyone cleaned up and got back to learning, as Mr. Skuges switched on the TV once again only to see a blue screen with the emblem of the current royal of Soleanna with a text below saying, "The ministry of education has declared that the support for distant learning television has been stopped after 2 centuries of operation. All villages, towns, and cities have adequate education. If you are still learning by this method, please register for school. Exceptions are that no Mobians, or non-citizens are allowed as with all the regulatory functions."

Mr. Skuges looking defeated knowing this day would come, he mumbled, "Why the banning of Mobians, just for your plentiful labor."

"What's it Mr?" Arbon asked, after helping Calic on the finishing touches of her classwork.

"You're all dismissed, there's nothing I can do." Mr. Skuges stormed out of the small house with the empty boxes and the books being disappointed.

"What's with Mr. Skuges today" Ichi wondered before Silver used his powers to grab the remote from afar and turn off the TV. "All I know is the TV box teacher programming isn't available anymore." Silver replies to Ichi with sadness in his tone. "There must be something wron-" Silver got interrupted by Arbon to which Arbon said, "What about we discuss it outside, after all I got something to show you."
