Deadpool was not a happy butterfly this good no-child filled morning.
Not in the slightest.
One might even go so far as to say he was grumpy. He was a comment away from giving everyone detention. Especially those whose names start with an 'H' and end with an 'annibal'.
"You kids designed dresses-- well, at least you should've-- and did some bad, bad makeup. So today you're puttin' them all together and strutting your stuff on the runway. Do a little turn on the catwalk. On the catwalk yay."
A beat.
"But no shaking your little tush on the catwalk. That's expressly forbidden."
He waved to a rack of dresses. "Get started!" But then he remembered something and almost looked gleeful. "But I have a very special dress for Mr. Hannibal King. As a gift for being the best babysitter around this weekend. Enjoy, kiddos."

Relationships: How To Do It The Right Way - Monday - Period Three
Monday, August 4th, 2008 09:45 amMarshall had handwavily asked his students to show up at the Danger Shop today. It had been transformed into a boxing ring and Marshall was standing in the middle. He looked a little uncomfortable today as he stood up in front of the class. He had eaten way too much candy over the weekend. He was pretty sure he needed to go see a dentist or something.

Karaoke For Fun and Profit #5 [Monday, Period 4, 8/4]
Monday, August 4th, 2008 10:25 amMike was on his cell phone as the class arrived at the Danger Room, talking in hushed tones about kids and Fandom. "Sorry about that, folks," he said, hanging up his phone. "A buddy of mine is freaking out. His fiancée said something weird when he called her over the weekend. While I'm at it, sorry I couldn't be here last week. Troy, thanks so much for taking care of last week's class."
He grinned. "Hopefully in a few weeks you might get to see the commercial I did for an auto insurance company. That leads to today's topic: profit! There are a couple ways to make money doing karaoke. The most direct way are karaoke competitions. Just be sure to check what kind of prizes they offer if you're looking for cash. Personally, I'm rather fond my souvenir tote bag that I won in Florida." He nodded in Turtle's direction as he spokeassuming she was there.
"But even if you're not competing for cash, there are other ways to make a profit from karaoke. You see, competitions help expose you to talent agents looking for the next big thing. You could get a chance at a recording contract or get shot at singing commercial jingles. Those gigs pay very well, actually," added Mike. "There are other things as well. My buddy Danny and I did a duet once at a karaoke night and we got approached by someone who wanted us to pose for a calendar. Of course, we didn't know until after it was too late that we'd agreed to be in a gay men's calendar, but it was for charity. Which, um, just goes to show that you should always do your research first before accepting a gig. I think we'll end on that note today and get right to singing."

Library [08/04]
Monday, August 4th, 2008 10:30 amSam was in a much better mood today than he'd been last week, thanks to Zoe and his dad being back to their normal selves. At least, he was in a good mood until he opened the door to the library and walked right into a black stump, tripping and nearly spilling coffee all over himself. When no amount of kicking the stump seemed to make it move, Sam sighed, and put a note on the door, warning people to watch their step.
[Open! Feel free to ignore the sign! *snicker*]

Class was once again at the pool, with Lulu and Juli at either end. "Today's class," Lulu began, "puts two lessons to the test: we're combining swimming with holding your breath underwater. I hope you've all been handwavily practicing this week."
From the other end, Juli said, "You're going to be swimming lengths, without surfacing for breath. This means that you'll be using more oxygen because you'll be exerting yourself--so don't be surprised if you can't last as long as you did last week while remaining primarily stationary. If you run into any difficulty you cannot get yourself out of, Professor Lulu and I are standing at the ready to aid you. Otherwise, you may consider this as a ‘pop-quiz’."
"Divide yourselves into pairs," Lulu continued, "and see who can complete the most length in a row without surfacing by the time the class is over.
"Also, the student who completes the most laps overall will win a prize which will be awarded at the start of next class."

How to not get killed - Tuesday - 3rd period
Monday, August 4th, 2008 11:21 pmIn the Danger Shop today the class found themselves in a warehouse; a military one from the look of the boxes and heavily armed soldiers wandering around.
They seemed to all be unaware of anyone or anything standing in the platform just inside the door to the danger shop where Yondaime and a large stage of cardboard boxes waited for them.
"Good Morning everyone! Today we are going to be learning how to utilize a very useful, but often overlooked tool in sneaking and stealthing.
The cardboard box." He said as he picked one up. "The cardboard box has been used for years by even the best spies and I'll even say ninja. For some strange reason, no one seems to think anything of random boxes appearing out of no where."
He set the box down and motioned to the warehouse behind him. "Your task today is to discuss the benefits of using a box to survive as well as get yourself from this door to that one," he said pointing across the room and up some stairs. "Using your box so you won't get caught by the guards on patrol."
[Plz wait for OCDOMG MAKE THE SONG STOP!! Have at it...]
