Meggy: Hey, kids.

Gino: Look... Mickey Mouse is a Washing Machine!

Gino swung around the Mickey Mouse Plush.

Mario: Are we interrupting your Mickey Mouse Clubhouse?

Meggy: Listen, I got something to tell you all.

Emily: Yeah?

Meggy: It's September now, and the Summer Holidays are coming to an end.

Mario: I hate September!

Meggy: And, since you are both 3-Year-old now... you're gonna have to get used to a new routine.

Emily: Okay?

Meggy: Next Monday... you two are going to School, this Year.

Gino: S- School?

Meggy: Well, technically... you start at Nursery! Then, next Year... you go to Reception! And the Year after that, you go to Year 1... and so on, in the next few Years.

Emily: What is School?

Mario: It's Child Prison.

*SMACK*

Mario: Ow!

Meggy: School is a place where young Children like you two, will get to learn about new things! You'll get to learn more about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Writing, reading Books, Computer skills... and the list goes on.

Emily: Ooo.

Meggy: Both of you will be there, Monday - Friday... every single Week! Until, Half-Term holidays approach.

Emily: Okay?

Meggy: But, you two will have to put up without us... you will have a nice Teacher to teach you lessons, and you will make loads of new Friends.

Gino: Y- You mean... No Mummy or Daddy?!

Meggy: No... but we will see each other again, when you go back Home... after School is finished for the Day.

Gino: *gulp* O- Oh God...

Meggy: It's okay, Gino... you'll be fine without us.

Gino: Hmm...

...

Meggy: Do you all know JubJub?

Emily: Yeah, I like JubJub!

Meggy: He will be in the same School as you... but, you might not see him a lot.

Gino: Okay?

Meggy: He is 5, now... he is 2 Years older than you two! He will be starting Year 1, this September.

Mario: That's the 3rd Year of Primary School.

Meggy: It may sound confusing that Year 1 is the 3rd Year of Primary School.

Mario: DS123 started Nursery, back in September 2005... that's 20 Years ago, this Month.

[I'M GETTING OLD... TIME FLIES!!!] 😭😭😭

Gino: M- Mummy...

Meggy: Gino, I know you might be freaking out... but you are going to absolutely fine! And, that is a promise.

Gino: You sure?

Meggy: You will be okay, sweet-heart.

*KISS*

Gino: Hmm...

Emily: Ooo, now I'm excited!

Mario: Nerd!

Emily: Huh?

Mario Um... I mean, good for you!

Meggy: So, tomorrow... we are gonna have a look around your new School, and have a look at your Class-room.

Emily: Okie-dokie!

Gino: Hmm...

Mario: You'll have fun at Child Prison.

THE NEXT DAY...

Mr. Fred: Hello, you must be Gino & Emily's Parents.

Meggy: Yes, we are.

Mr. Fred: My name is Mr. Frederick... but you can call me; Mr. Fred.

Meggy: Nice to meet you.

Mr. Fred: I am the Head Teacher / Principal of this Primary School... and I've been in charge of this School since September 2013.

Meggy: Have you?

Mr. Fred: This will be my 12th Year in charge.

Mario: This will be Gino & Emily's 1st Year.

Mr. Fred: Nice to meet you, Gino & Emily.

Emily: Hi.

Mr. Fred: Hello, Emily.

Meggy: And, that's Gino.

Mr. Fred: And, hello Gino.

Gino: H- Hey...

Meggy: He's just a little shy.

Mr. Fred: That's fine... every Toddler's first day of Nursery, seems to make them shy! It's basically like that, every single Year.

Mario: He's also Autistic.

Mr. Fred: That's also fine... we have a few Students in our School that have Autism, or that need additional support.

...

Toadella: I'm Miss. Toadella... I'm gonna be Gino & Emily's Teacher.

Meggy: Nice to meet you, too.

Toadella: I'm sure your Kids are gonna love it here.

Meggy: I hope so.

Mr. Fred: Yeah, there's no need to worry... this School has friendly Teachers & Staff.

Meggy: Did you hear that, you two? Friendly Teachers & Staff.

Emily: Ooo!

Gino: Hmm...

Toadella: Right, shall we show them where their Class-room will be?

Mr. Fred: Certainly.

Everyone went inside.

Gino: I- I dunno...

Meggy: It's okay, Gino.

In the Class-room...

Toadella: Okay, this will be your Class-room.

Meggy: It looks like the Kids are gonna have so much fun in here.

Mario: For the next 10 Months.

Toadella: Gino & Emily will be able to get to learn more about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Writing, reading Books, Computer skills... etc.

Mario: That's what my Wife said, last night.

Toadella: You'll be able to make new Friends in here, too.

Meggy: That'll be good.

Mario: They've already made Friends... there's this one Friend, that looks likes a JubJub.

Toadella: Sorry?

Mario: They know JubJub.

Toadella: Wait... JubJub Boopkins?!

Mario: Yeah, that's the one!

Toadella: OMG, he was one of my Students!

Meggy: Yeah, we know him... the Kids known him, since they were little Babies!

Mario: And, his 18-Year-old Brother.

Toadella: Well, if JubJub had fun here... Gino & Emily should have fun here, too.

Mr. Fred: It's nice to see Friends outside School, coming to the same School.

...

Meggy: Well, thank you for showing us around.

Toadella: You're welcome... and we are looking forward to seeing Gino & Emily, next Monday.

Mr. Fred: Any Questions?

Mario: I do.

Mr. Fred: Yes?

Mario: Are you two married?

Mr. Fred: Um... no, I'm married to someone else! I'm Straight.

Mario: Okay? And, why did we have to know that you are married to another Woman?

Toadella: I'm a Lesbian.

Mario: ...

Toadella: I'm gonna get married to another Woman, next Week... and I just got back from a Hen-Do, the other Day.

Meggy: Congratulations!

Mario: Christ... Gino & Emily's first Teacher, will be a Gay Lesbian.

Toadella: What's that supposed to mean?

Mario: See you later!

A FEW DAYS LATER...

[MONDAY 8 SEPTEMBER 2025]

JubJub: *grunts* Ugh... I hate School... I don't wanna go back!!!

Bob: Tough... you're gonna have to put up with it, for the next 20 Years!

Boopkins: Oh, come on... it's not that bad, JubJub!

Bob: That's because you're a Nerd.

Boopkins: Pardon?

Bob: I have the same pain as JubJub.

Boopkins: You're not at School, anymore... you work at CEX.

Bob: Oh yeah, you're right... but still, I feel the same pain as JubJub.

JubJub: Why does every single little Kid have to go to School?!

Boopkins: Because, you need to study to get a bigger Brain! And once you get older... you will have Qualifications, get a Job, have your own House & Money... and you will even get married to someone you love.

Bob: And, you will get laid.

JubJub: *sigh*

Boopkins: Come on, it's your 3rd Year at Primary School... you're moving to Year 1, this Academic Year.

Bob: It will be more challenging than Reception.

JubJub: Christ...

Boopkins: Listen, you might see Gino & Emily at School... it's their very first Day of Nursery.

JubJub: Ooo!

Boopkins: They'll be starting Nursery... just like you did, back in 2023.

JubJub: That'll be good.

Boopkins: Alright, I'm off to start Year 14 at College.

JubJub: Let's do this.

Boopkins & JubJub left the Castle.

Bob: Here's to 10 more Months of Torture!

Later...

Meggy: Okay, everyone... Smile!

*CAMERA SHUTTER*

Tari: Aww... what a cute Photo!

JubJub: Hey, you two... you're gonna enjoy it!

Mario: I thought you always hated it.

JubJub: I hate the first Day back!!!

Gino: *sigh*

Meggy: Gino, it's gonna be okay... you're in Nursery! Also... you're basically gonna be here, every Morning! You get Half a Day here and you get to go Home, at Lunch-time.

Mario: That's 3 Hours a Day.

Gino: Ooo!

JubJub: I have to spend all Day here... Morning & Afternoon! Basically, I'm here for 6 Hours.

Meggy: You will have fun, Gino.

Gino: Hmm...

Emily: I can't wait!

Tari: Good for you, Emily.

Mario: You know, if Gino & Emily were born in Autumn 2022... you would've had one more Year off.

*BELL RINGS*

Mario: Let the 10-Month Torture of 2025/26, begin!

Tari: You better bring them in.

Meggy: Come on, Kids... let's go inside.
