One thing I accidentally left out was the reason that Imaginary Light had more riding on the Headmaster Scenario than anyone else. Success meant a bonus of 3500 Aspiration points; failure would've cost her that many. She got 'em. Spend them wisely.

Well, I'll tell you...
Foster's Valley - More Bloo For You
Yeah, lame title. I'm tired.
Rhonda had the day off from work and decided to do a little damage control:
She's calling Madame Foster. "Hi, Martha? It's me, Rhonda. Listen, I thought I'd better let you know that I, um, well-"
Madame Foster interrupted. "Get to the point, dear. My lunch is getting cold."
Rhonda continued. "I let something slip the other day to whatshername, that Read woman. She knows we did something with Bloo-"
What Madame Foster said in response would've made Carmel Delicious proud, which is why I'm not repeating it here. "Suspended" is a title I don't want. Rhonda continued. "Hey, I didn't give her any details, okay? I was caught off guard. Look, at least I'm giving you a heads-up about it. Oh, I got a letter from the town offices today; you, me, and Mr. Herriman got stuck with Welcome Wagon duty at the Burnell place tommorrow. Bye!" Rhonda hung up; what Madame Foster said next is best left to your imaginations. Carmel Delicious would've been very proud. Mac and Bloo got home from school a few minutes later:
Mac got homework; Bloo did not. Bloo's last homework assignment was to do a book report on Charlotte's Web; he handed in a sheet of paper with the word "Lame" written on it. He seldom gets homework anymore because his teachers don't see the point. I'll give him credit for creativity, though; earlier in the week for a science report he handed in a photocopy of a recipe for borstch. No homework for Terrence, either, who went upstairs to play videogames:
He's not too bad at it, either. Victoria thought he was pretty dang good:
Victoria came with the game and followed Mac home from school this day. Seems she liked Terrence's company better. Mac also brought home a pet:
Womrats are fun. They don't do much other than eat and run around their cages but they're cute, amusing, and low maintenance. Reaction from the family to the little furball, which Mac named "Issac", was mixed. Rhonda told Mac to keep it clean, odor-free, and quiet; Bloo looked at it suspiciously and wondered it he'd have to compete with it for Mac's attention; Terrence laughed at Mac, said that womrats are lametarded, and teased him for a half an hour. While that was happening, Victoria joined Bloo at the dopwnstairs TV:
As it turned out, there wasn't anything good on other than a rerun of
Space Gnome, so the two found something else to do, and I have to say I found this next scene to be absolutely enchanting:
Just a game of Mary Mack, but... I don't know. The game throws things like this at me and I get all warm and smiley. Yeah, I'm a sap. Sue me. The clock struck 6:00 PM a moment later and Victoria went home. Time for dinner; spaghetti again, a favorite at the Cassiman house. Of course, even dinner can be unpredictable when Bloo is at the table; you never know what he's going to do or say next:
"Bloo! You
know better than to do that at the table!"
I leave the details to your imaginations.
More from the Cassiman residence coming up shortly...
