"Nature. Makes us sneeze, puts us in the infirmary. Nature." Mr. Matthews said.

He had a long ruler in his hand and hit it against the board.

"What's he got against nature? Isn't he running the Nature Club?" Maya asked.

"He's only running the Nature Club because it was either that or the Ski Club." Riley said.

"So why didn't he choose the Ski Club?" Lollie asked.

"He can't run the Ski Club because of what happened at the Mount Sun Lodge when they were our age." Riley said.

"Nature. The only place a bear can kill ya from. Nature." Mr. Matthews said.

He hit the ruler against the board again.

"Well, what happened at the ski lodge?" Zay asked.

"A mountain girl kissed him." Riley said.

"I didn't kiss her back." He defended.

"Nature." Maya smiled and slammed her hands on her desk.

"How 'bout I throw you back in the street where ya came from, you waif." He suggested.

"That's not nice." Lollie said.

"Those were very bad times for Cory and Topanga, but everything's fine now, except we can't ski ever or say "ski" or walk downhill." Riley explained.

"So why is he all upset with nature?" Farkle asked.

"Guess where the hike is." Riley said.

"The Mount Sun Lodge." Smackle said.

"Nature." Mr. Matthews said.

This time he broke the stick.

"What are you doing, Dad?"

"The ski lodge was almost the end of Cory and Topanga, America's sweethearts. And now, I know something's gonna happen there for you. So, I am preparing ya for nature."

He threw the stick at the board.

"We're just going up to see the leaves change color." Lucas said.

"Nature puts on a great show when it wants to." Noah said.

"Indeed, Noah. The leaves seem to scream out, "Hey, look at me!"" Smackle said.

""You think I'm pretty!"" Farkle said.

""But I'm actually dead."" Smackle said blandly, "The preceding was brought to you by the Smarkle Corporation."

"Explaining big concepts with little words for you." Farkle said.

"All right, before we get on the bus, I want to talk to you guys about the other kind of nature. The humankind." Mr. Matthews said.

"Here it comes." Zay muttered.
