"NOTORIOUS"

THE TRIO OF friends were walking down the hall and stopped at the newspaper office. "Oh Eric. Yes that feels so good." Molly says, the editor of the newspaper. "Don't stop."

"Ok we found my brother." Cory says with a smug grin, he opens the door, and they stand in the doorway to see Eric massaging her shoulders.

"This personality profile of our new principal is superlative." Molly says

"The man lives next door, glad I can give some help." Eric says

"Yes well you give a wonderful neck massage." Molly says

"You know Molly, I'm more than just a pair of strong, masculine hands." Eric says

"Well of course you are my little cabana boy." Molly says "Well finis!"

Eric laughs "No. No. It's Feeny. His name is Feeny." Eric corrects

"Finis is French for finished." Molly says

"Ah the French." Eric muses "our neighbors to the north."

"Hello" Cory says making them aware of their presence.

"Not know I'm working." Eric says

"You said you'll drive us home." Cory says and the three walk in and Cory places the rat cage on the table causing Molly to scream and jump from her chair

"Hey babe, you're wigging out the rats." Shawn says and grabs the cage.

"Rats?" Molly asks

"Yeah we're studying natural selection we're gonna see if rats know the difference between natural cheddar and 'I can't believe it's not cheese'."

"Our D+ rests on furry little Shawn and Cory." Shawn says

"You named them after yourselves?" Eric asks

"Tristemente sí," Nat says eyeing the rats. She wasn't a big fan of rodents or anything that can crawl, like babies for example.

"Shawn's is the one chewing on the lock and I'm the one with the skin disease." Cory says and Shawn places the cage on the ground.

"In some very weird way, the rats have their characteristics." Natalia hums, hiding from the rats by standing behind Shawn, holding his forearm. Shawn grinned at this of course, loving any attention she gave him.

"Just keep your little vermin away from tomorrow's edition of the schools paper." Molly says

"Come on, lets go. All five of you rats." Eric says

"Hey!" Nat says smacking Eric's side with a frown.

"Um, all four of us rats." Shawn says grabbing the cage, Natalia yelps and Shawn pulls her to his side, basking in the moment.
