The First Day of School is Always Memorable (After the big fight and bendytimed to Tues 8th)
Nothing was more enjoyable to a parent than the first day of school after a long and interesting summer and today was no exception. Sydney was enjoying the peace and quiet that came with a child at school. Zoey wasn't a bad kid, she just had a lot of energy and Syd could barely keep up to her daughter some days.

Once Zoey was off to school for the day, the whole day to boot, Syd went to her morning class and then hit the grocery store on her way home. Someone, she had a sneaking suspicion who, had eaten the last of her not so secret stash of Ben and Jerry's Brownie Batter ice cream and Syd was craving chocolate. It had to be PMS and if she didn't get some chocolate ice cream even the gods would be fearing her.

Class was done, ice cream was acquired, and Syd was now sitting quietly at the table in the kitchen eating her ice cream and reading her assignment for her class in sociology. The house was eerily quiet and a small part of her brain wondered what the godlings were doing, or more likely getting in to. Naw. She didn't want to do know. The day was going too well and she didn't want to ruin it.

It wasn't to last. Instead of the peace and quiet being ruined by something crashing, getting broken, or demons showing up at the front door, her cell phone ringing shatter the quiet reprieve.

"Hello."

"Yes. This is Sydney Ashcroft."

"She did what?" A heavy sigh. "I'll be right there. Thank you."

Syd disconnected the call and sat there for a long moment. Well that was unexpected, sort of, not really. She really shouldn't be surprised. Not in the least. Of course she had to go in and talk to Zoey's principal on the first day of school.

She closed her book, grabbed her phone, grabbed her car keys and headed for the door.

	"That's right, dear." Ohu puts his arm around Syd and squeezes, like Ward might do to June. Bubbles rise from the end of the pipe. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If... if we can just ensure there's no repeat of the situation, and a ... a better understanding of school rules, I'm...sure everything will be fine. Zoey can apologize to Jamie tomorrow." Finally, he can't take it. "Who are you, exactly?" He asks the man. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ohu presses the mustache in place. "I am Ohu Amane, son of Anansi, Keeper of Stories." He decides it's best not to name-drop and talk about the time he and his siblings all became part-owners of the sun. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mr. Cooleridge blinks some more, then just focuses on Ms. Ashcroft. "I'm.... very glad to hear it, Ms. Ashcroft." He'll get up and step over to the door to the next room. "Zoey's right in here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ohu puts on his sternest face and goes out to see her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I do apologize, Mr. Cooleridge," Syd said after Ohu left the room. Though she was quite sure what exactly she was apologizing for. Ohu's presence, the bubble pipe or the mustache. Or a combination of all things. (Reply to this)(Parent)
