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.

"You just picked on someone who didn't deserve it, to protect yourself. This means you owe someone an apology."

He crouches to look Zoey in the eye.

"Halbjorn is a good warrior, Zoey, but that is most of what he knows: fighting. And if you ask him for advice, that is what he will tell you: how to solve your problem with fighting. But there are many ways to solve problems, and fighting is not always the best way. His advice was right... the bullies won't get you now... but it has consequences that now you must live with."

Zoey's mouth twisted as she thought about what Ohu just said. She eventually nodded in agreement as tears started to form in her eyes. "I'll say I'm sorry."

"I won't beat anyone else up." A pause. "Unless they try to beat me up first."

"That's good," he tells her. "And you can protect other people, too. But now you need to go listen to your mom tell you the same thing. Because she loves you and wants to make sure you understand why it's important."

"Okay," she said with a slight air of defeat to it.
