*Next day*
I called the school, letting them know we’d be there. They said we could bring Shannon since they wanted to see her anyway. Isabelle Texted us, telling us what time to be there. Isabelle said she wanted us to incorporate the fighting aspect of the job, meaning martial arts/ fighting. I got dressed in leggings and a t-shirt, knowing I’d most likely be doing a demonstration.
We spent the day at NCIS in the gym until time to go. We spent the day working on some techniques we wanted to go over. DiNozzo was a little worried but still being him and acting cocky.

“I really don’t see a reason for this demonstration.” DiNozzo said, we got in our fighting stances and got ready.
“We do the demonstration so they can see the techniques actually work. We aren’t going easy, full speed, full strength.”
“What all martial arts do you know anyway?” DiNozzo asked.
“Worried?” I said, teasing him.
“No.”
“Don’t worry about what I know.”
“But how did you learn all of it?” Mcgee asked.
“Don’t worry about it.”
“Fine, but you’re going down.”
“Yeah, yeah” I said, sweeping his legs. He fell to the ground, I stood back up. Patiently waiting for him to stand back up.

We practiced a bit more before heading out. Everyone was wearing athletic clothing. Maddie, Griffin, Mike, Shannon and I went in my car. While the rest piled into dad’s car. We got there, going down memory lane.

“Oh God. It’s weird being back here.” I said, stepping through the door.
“Geez, talk about a blast from the past.” Griffin said.
“Yeah no kidding.” Maddie said.

“Hey guys, how are y’all?” Mrs. Fields greeted us.
“Hi, we’re good.” I said on behalf of all of us.
“And who is this cutie.” She said, motioning to Shannon.
“This is Shannon.” I said, taking her out of the car seat so she could hold her.

“She is the cutest thing ever.” she said, bouncing her up and down. I saw Isabelle come towards us, along with other teachers. We said ‘hi’ to all of them, we talked for a bit before going to set up. We decided to have mats set up for demonstrating.
Dad and director Shepard were looking after shannon. This felt more like a panel thing for TV shows. They were calling everyone out of class for it. The principal was also okay with me calling students to help out for the demonstrations.

“Hey girly, how’ve you been?” Mrs. Hart asked. I hopped off the stage, hugging her. Maddie came over to hug her as well.
“Hey, I’ve been good.” I said, pulling away. I moved the hair out of my face, she noticed the ring.
“Oh my gosh, y’all got married?” she questioned.
“Yeah.” we said, showing her the rings.
      “We got everything set up.” Griffin said, him and Mike wrapping their arms around our waists.
“Thanks, that was quick.”

We talked with some of the other teachers until time to start, kids started coming into the auditorium, taking their seats whispering about what would be said and talking about whatever.
“Let's start” I said, getting an uneasy feeling but figured it was just anxiety.
