Chapter 7

*BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP*

Lucy would never get used to her alarm clock in the morning. Cracking an eye opened she pushed the snooze button and got up. She looked down at the little girl and saw she was still fast asleep. Maybe if Lucy was quick and quiet enough she could get ready and leave before the little girl even notices. Lucy gathered her things and walked into the bathroom very quietly.

She took her shower, got dressed, and fixed her hair. Once she was ready to leave she very slowly opened the bathroom door again. When she exited she saw Wendy standing by the door waiting for her, already dressed, shoes on and tied, wearing her purse and matching bow. Lucy cracked a smile. This kid was good.

"You got the goods?" Lucy asked.

Wendy patted her purse and nodded.

"Go get some breakfast from Ms. Supetto and I'll meet you at the door" Lucy told the little girl.

Again Wendy nodded and walked out her door. Lucy let out a long, loud yawn and scratched the back of her head. Let the games begin.

"Ms. Heartfilia the Principle will see you now" Karin said.

Lucy smirked at the girl then walked into the Principle's Office with Wendy right behind her. Lucy looked around her surrounding and saw a little short bald man sitting behind the Principle's desk. Was this the Principle? Lucy thought to herself. She inwardly laughed. Wendy was taller than the man.

"How may I help you?" the Principle asked her.

"Hello I'm Lucy Heartfilia and I wanted a pass so that my little cousin could go to class with me for a while" Lucy said.

"And why should I allow her to come here?" the Principle asked.

"Principle..." Lucy let the sentence die out.

"Markavok" the Principle said.

"Principle Markavok, can I just call you Markavok or even Marvok, alright Marvok. Wendy here was abandoned by her parents, my auntie and uncle. They won a cruise to Hawaii so they just hopped out of there leaving poor little Wendy alone at her big house. I was lucky enough to be visiting at the time and Little Wendy was just sitting in her the kitchen eating, sniff, crackers with ketchup on them! Crackers Marvok!"

"Poor little sweet innocent Wendy looked up at me and asked if I wanted a pizza! She thought they were pizza's! She was abandoned with no food or money and was forced to eat ketchup covered crackers and pretend they were pizza's" I said and fake cried. I sniffed a few times and wiped my eyes before I continued.

"I brought Wendy home with me and took care of her, that's why I haven't been to school these last few days, then today when I decided to go today Wendy thought I was abandoning her to go on a cruise to Hawaii just like her Mother and Father. I reassured her I was only going to school but she cried and begged me to take her with me. Now here I am in your wonderful office asking permission if my sweet little angel of a cousin could come to your wondrous school so she won't be all alone in my cold dusty home" I said.

I pushed Wendy and motioned for her to walk up to Marvok. Her dolly eyes may not work on me but they might work on him. Wendy walked up to the man and grabbed his coat, one finger in her mouth, looking at him with maximum cuteness.

"Pwease Oji-san let me come to you big wonderful school, pwease!" Wendy asked, cocking her head to the left.

I saw Principle Marvok had tears in his eyes. He then hugged Wendy.

"Of course you can!" he yelled.

Sucker. Good thing this school was full of idiots. Principle Markavok filled out a piece of paper allowing Wendy to come to class with Lucy and said-
