[It's bright and early in the morning when Vanellope can be seen in the playground outside the school. First period is Writing and there's homework and she forgot, so she's trying to finish hers before the school bell rings. Clearly this means it's okay to be scribbling it down in the journal - she doesn't have any thing else with her, and she can always tear the page out later on!]



[... Yeah. Anyway, feel free to run into her in the school yard or even respond via voice/written! Just remember, she's gotta make it to first period, so you might not even get replies til lunch or something. ]

[Vanellope why.]

Kid.

What the heck're they teaching you in that school?

[Voice]

[sugarglitch]

Writing stuff! I'm pretty good at it already, which is good 'cause I forgot we had homework. So this was easy!

[Well, that's how kids are. Amusing.]

You're right. It's quite disgusting.

As you can see, aging causes advanced stages of brain damage. Though it's not really the aging itself, it's the successive layers of head trauma.

[Video]

[sugarglitch]

Oh. [She tilts her head at the camera.] Man, that must suck. Does your brain hurt, Lord Crankypants? From all the damage and trauma and stuff.

[Oh thank god, he wasn't the only who thought something was really weird during the last shift--though, it's not the kissing that bothers him, it's...the more affectionate kind of kissing humans are apparently fond of.]

Ugh, and I thought humans couldn't get even more weirder or disgusting... [Swapping spit or sucking face is just gross what the hell can't you people just kiss like normal people should...]

voice;

[sugarglitch]

Hey, humans aren't weird! They're just weird when they like-like someone. Otherwise they're pretty OK.

["What Grown-Ups Do When They Like Each Other" is currently a topic of interest to Donatello, so when he sees this essay in the journal he starts reading it... and then can't stop. Along the way he makes a series of choking noises, ending in a disbelieving:]

What...?

[Voice]

[sugarglitch]

[She's paused, wondering if she should add any more to that essay. So when she answers, it's kinda distracted.]

What, what?

voice;

[etudes]

... [ give her a moment to stare before she even gets it.. but that makes Kotomi wonder. ]

Who's going to have a baby..?

voice;

[sugarglitch]

Dunno! But there was a whole lotta kissing happening last month, so maybe we'll get some new babies soon! [Nine year old logic, go.]

[Tao peers into the video feed, confused. At least she could understand what was being written...whether she understood the subject matter was another issue entirely.]

...I don't get it, meow.

[An automatic response from Vanellope!]

Me either! Grown-ups are weird.

[Multiple teachers for a one-classroom school means a lot of break time for Layton. Since he's not teaching first period, it's easy enough for him to open up his journal, see Vanellope's entry, and make an educated guess as to what went on there. Sure, they're only sitting a few rooms apart at the moment and she can't respond right away (assuming she's being a diligent student, of course), but he can't resist poking a bit of fun.]

Very few people are able to get their research published at such a young age. Most impressive, Vanellope.

[Obviously, he knows not what the internet is.]

[It does take a while for her to notice that the little comment in neat script was meant for her. She gasps a little bit once she recognizes who it's from!]

Professor Layton! This isn't for your class! [... Oh right, it's written. She hastily scrawls back:]

Thanks! This is for Profesor Proffesso- Professor Sage's class. It's good, right?

[In the name of the Konami Code, why does the girl have that special ability to make everything sound so wrong out of context?]

You'll understand when you're older, kid. [Says the woman who was only plugged in a week before here.] And what the Sam Hill was your assignment about?

[Voice]

[sugarglitch]

Yeah but I ain't programmed to get any older, Sarge! [she crosses her arms.] Thought it was unfair, too, but now I'm not even sure I'd wanna get old!

Anyway we're supposed to write about something we learned in Luceti! So that's what I did.

[ Twilight stifles a giggle. ] I probably have a book about this somewhere!

Video

[sugarglitch]

A book about what?

voice

[risingwinds]

...Wait. People swap spit? But isn't that kinda... er. Well, it sounds pretty gross to me.

voice

[sugarglitch]

[AT LAST someone who understands!!]

I know! It's really gross, isn't it?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Um, it takes more than just kissing to make babies...

[Voice]

[sugarglitch]

[She rolls her eyes.]

Everyone keeps saying that but no one's saying why!

[failguardian]

[Hey hey, guess who sees Vanellope scribbling away and is now trying to sneak peeks right over her shoulder?]

We had homework?!

[action]

[sugarglitch]

[Vanellope jumps, startled into a flash of blue pixels!

But she recovers quickly enough.]

Yeah! But it's easy, don't worry!

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

[Oh geez.]

Hey- Vanellope? You're not gonna turn that in to Raine or something, are you?

[voice]

[sugarglitch]

Sheena! [A big grin!] Look, didja see my homework?
