It was around 4:30, and the only people in the school was Baldi, the Principal, Playtime, and the Candy Club. Playtime was sitting by the club, examining her jump rope. The principal was walking by the club, and noticed Playtime sitting there. He knew he could find out more about what's wrong.

"Hello, Playtime." Principal of the Thing greeted. "Why are sitting here by the Candy Club? Do you want to join it?"

Playtime shook her head. "No, I'm just, waiting for Bully to leave. We are suppose to walk home together today."

"Your parents must be worried sick about you, Playtime, should I take you home?"

"N-NO! My parents know I'm still here..." She lied. "I called t-them."

"Oh, alright, well, um..." The principal was trying to think of a way to know what was wrong with Playtime. But before he could start another conversation, Bully came of the club. 

"All done, oh, hello Principal Thing! Come one, sweetie, lets go." Bully said with grin. Playtime stood up and got her thing, and held Bully's hand. Bully squeezed her hand so hard that something cracked in the girl's hand. The principal was looking at Playtime, and she had an uneasy face on. They both waved good bye, and they exited the school. As soon as they left, Baldi walked to Principal Thing. 

"Hey, Boss, watcha lookin' at?" Baldi asked.

"Mmm, just, uh, Playtime and Bully. I was this close to finding out what was wrong." Principal Thing looked at the ground, but Baldi put his arm around him.

"Look, we said that we were gonna find out what was wrong with Playtime tomorrow with the morse code, so don't worry, alright?" Principal looked up at Baldi and nodded.

"Yeah, I guess I shouldn't worry! Thanks Baldi, your the best!" Baldi blushed and nodded.

"Heh, yeah, thanks!"

It was the next day at school, and Baldi was prepared for Playtime's Morse Code. He charged his phone to 100%, did all the updates, and deleted some photos for extra space for the video. The bell rang, and all the students poured into the classroom. As soon as all the students were in the class, Baldi stood up.

"Alright class, we won't be having a lesson for today, we will just be doing a double-sided worksheet. I will pass them out for you all." Baldi picked up a stack of worksheets, and began to pass the sheets out. Baldi glanced at Playtime, and she looked bored, yet sad. After he passed out all the papers, Baldi went back to his desk, and put a book over his phone. Then, he put his phone a little higher than the book so the camera could see Playtime. Then he hit record. Baldi was not gonna miss a single shot of what Playtime was gonna say, or code. After about five minutes, Playtime began to tap in Morse Code. 

.... . .-.. .-.. --- ..--.. / .... . .-.. .-.. --- ..--.. / .- -. -.-- --- -. . / .... . .-. . --..-- / .- --. .- .. -. ..--.. / .. / -. . . -.. / .... . .-.. .--. .-.-.- / -.-. .- -. / ... --- -- . --- -. . / .... . .-.. .--. / -- . ..--..

Baldi was still recording. Playtime continued.

-.-. .- -. / .- -. -.-- --- -. . / -- --- .-. ... . / -... .- -.-. -.- / - --- / -- . ..--.. / .. / -. . . -.. / .... . .-.. .--. --..-- / .--. .-.. . .- ... . / .... . .-.. .--. / -- . / .. ..-. / -.-- --- ..- / -.-. .- -. / .... . .- .-. / - .... .. ...

Baldi stopped the recording. He thinks that's all he needed, but Playtime continued to tap.

.... . .-.. .--. / -- . --..-- / --.- ..- .. -.-. -.- .-.. -.-- --..-- / -... ..- .-.. .-.. .-.. -.-- / .. ... / -.-. --- -- .. -. --. / ..-. --- .-. / -- . .-.-.-

Baldi didn't record that part, but he sent the video to the principal. Then he waited. About 10 minutes later, Principal Thing replied.

|Meet me in my office at recess.|

Baldi put his phone away, and began to read his book. And before he knew it, the bell rang.
