"Yeaaaaaaaaah... maybe it's time to give up." Ela told the boy, who immediately threw the sandwich back and began to cry, storming off.
"Why does everyone hate me...?" Glenn asked Ela as she shrugged.
"Maybe because you're different. Who knows? Different is not bad. Just mean everyone's stupid."
Luckily the bell rang, and the boy was sitting far away from everyone as possible, though it was clear that his eyes were bloodshot.
When school let out, however, earlier than expected, the boy quickly hurried out the door, only to see the green-haired boy in front of him. "Where ya going Pipsqueak? Why ya being so silent?" He asked as he grinned viciously.
"Just leave me alone..." Glenn replied, only to get his necklace snatched away from him.
"GIVE THAT BACK!" He cried as the boy kicked him in the shin in return. "Make me! Hahahaha!"
"Grr..." He groaned, hopping on one foot. He then rushed at the boy, tackling him onto the ground despite his small size, and began to wail on him like any boy would if he was defending himself. Boys will be boys.
"AH!" The green-haired youth cried out as Ela screamed from behind. "Go Glenny go! Show him what you're made of!"
Just then the boy was tackled and pounded by several boys, who were friends of the other boy. "GAH!" Glenn shrieked as he attempted to protect himself, though it was clear that he was suffering from behind wailed on. When the group cleared to see their handiwork, Glenn took the opportunity to clap his hands together, having quickly drawn a circle, and slam his hands onto the ground, which formed a rising uppercut against the green-haired child's jaw, sending him sailing back with a mighty crack.
"GET HIM!"
Some bullies usually grow afraid once they find out the victim COULD defend himself. But not these bullies. They only resumed their beating against Glenn, calling him names like freak and possessed bastard...
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?" Came a feminine shout from behind all of them.
~~~~~
The woman groaned as she twirled in the air, though she was drooling slightly from hearing the word too many times. "S-stop... Mai-Fai... please..." She whimpered, feeling as if her brain was about to burst.

"Huh?" Mai-Fei blinked. "What's wrong, mommy?" She asked, ceasing her flight for a moment. "Why are you flying funny?" She asked as Irvine grabbed Ai to save her from falling.
"You alright?" He asked her softly. "Maybe you should turn on the mp3 player now." He whispered, turning it on to the super museum song, 'Museums are Great'.
~~~~~
Of course, the girl was there, but she quickly started to run like hell, trying not to draw the ire of the other children or the eyes of the other boy. She just wanted to go home.
"Gah sorry!" Said a child, deciding to avoid the voice. "Look, the half elf's leaving!"

Before anyone could do anything, they were blockaded by a wall of fire. "WHOA!" The green-haired youth jumped back. This, of course, gave the girl time to leave.
"R-run! Geezus!!" He cried as he looked to Glenn. "You won't get away with this!" He shouted as he suddenly was grasped by the collar. "H-hey! PUT ME DOWN!"
"Well, well, look at what we have here." Taini sighed as she held him up. "And what were you doing to my son just now?"
"NOTHING YOU STUPID FREAK! LEMME ALONE!" He flailed.
"Can I kill him?"
"Uuugh..." The boy groaned as he held his stomach, feeling massive amounts of pain.
~~~~~
If that was the case, Ai would have died right then and there. She felt slightly livelier now that she had the music playing, ignoring both her husband and daughter as she began to hum in Mizuhoan. Wait, what?

In any case, they arrived at the museum, and Irvine got Mai-Fei an audio tour, then started following her, allowing for self directed learning. "Ai..." He whispered. "Are you doing alright?" He asked.
~~~~~
"EXCUSE ME!" Said a rather tall man, suddenly grabbing Taini by the neck in a headlock. "WHETHER OR NOT HE WAS BULLYING, YOU, AS A PARENT, CANNOT BE ATTACKING CHILDREN! THE PUNISHMENT IS IN THE HAND OF THE TEACHERS... THAT SAID, I THE PRINCIPAL OF THIS SCHOOL BANISH ALL YOU STUDENTS TO DETENTION!"

"You're really messing with the wrong parent here. Jus' sayin'." Taini then flipped the man onto the ground and slammed her foot into his stomach. "Tch. First of all, I had all right! I wasn't even attacking him! I was just threatening him!"
Glenn managed to get up, placing his necklace back onto his neck after he scooped it up from the ground.
"Mom... stop... I don't wanna get in any more trouble..."
~~~~~
Ai blinked, hearing Irvine, just as she stepped into the museum.
Too late.
Just then she just passed out, collapsing onto the floor.
Poor Ai.

Irvine sighed, picking up the woman, then sighing and patting her arms. "Stop being melodramatic." He sighed, shaking her slightly. "Come on, you can do this, just need to listen to the music and listen to my voice, ignore the m-word."
~~~~~
Suddenly, Taini's face was eclipsed by a giant hand, then her head was slammed into the ground, causing a crater. "THREATENING STUDENTS IS BAD FORM FOR A PARENT! I SEE YOU WILL NEED TO BE PUNISHED AS WELL! THAT IS WHY I WILL GIVE YOU... PARENT DETENTION!"

@.@ Ai's tongue lolled out as she drooled slightly, though it was clear that she was snapping out of it. "Please... Irvy... I need... another ear bud..." She whispered as she grabbed his collar.
~~~~~
X_x Taini's tail twitched, but only for a moment. "Ow." She only said as she blinked. "Okay... what the hell is Parent Detention, you freakin' lunatic?" Derrick, you are DEAD when I get home. She asked as Glenn suddenly kicked at the man's shin. "LEAVE MY MOMMY ALONE!"

The child was lifted by the scruff of his neck and then sat down. "YOUNG MAN, ROUGH HOUSING IS NOT PERMISSIBLE BEHAVIOR IN A CIVILIZED SOCIETY! THAT'S WHY YOU ARE ALL TO FACE DETENTION FOR YOUR MISBEHAVIOR! IT IS BETTER THAN GOING TO PRISON SOME DAY!" He said, picking up Taini and brushing her off. "YOU WILL BE COMING HERE AT 700 TONIGHT, AND ALL OF YOU CHILDREN WILL BE AT SCHOOL AN HOUR EARLY TOMORROW, OR ELSE YOU WILL ALL BE MOVED TO MY HISTORY CLASS FOR A WEEK, INCLUDING YOU, YOUNG LADY." He told Taini.

"Come on, Ai, you can do this. Just focus on the music and on my voice." Irvine spoke. "Mai-Fei has an audio tour going, so she'll be kept busy. Just focus on me.

Ai grimaced before opened her eyes. "Alright..." She then was placed back onto her feet. "...So we can't just leave her alone? We can play bad parents for a few minutes... we can get ice cream and bring her back a cone after!"
~~~~~~
"You mean 1900." Taini pointed out. "...34 is also not young, though I thank you for the compliment!" She grinned before picking up her son. "...Can we just go now?" She asked as her feet shifted to and fro. ...Scratch that. YOU'RE DEADER THAN DEAD WHEN I GET HOME DERRICK! You were supposed to come with but NOOOO... FUCKER! "...I'll be at your stupid thing tonight."

"VERY WELL, STUDENTS, FRIENDS, PARENTS, HAVE A PLEASANT NIGHT, AND ENJOY YOUR SLEEP! I HOPE YOU WILL DO JUST AS WELL TOMORROW!" The man said with a smile, waving at all the leaving students.
In any case, when everyone got home, a giant feast was set out for the two, full of Taini and Glenn's favorite foods. "Welcome home. Sorry about the... Bathroom thing... My stomach turned on me... I think that chicken we had for lunch didn't sit well with me."
~~~~~
"We just need to follow her." Irvine spoke. "Until she finishes her audio tour, then we can all get ice cream." He said. "There's only 40 minutes of audio on the thing, and after that we can go."

"-.- I'm still going to kill you. Because of this, I'll choose a painless and quicker route." Taini established as the boy didn't even bother with the food, but instead burst into tears and ran into his room. "Oh, by the way, he's been picked on." She pointed out as she took a few grapes and nommed them. "Oh right! And now for some reason, I HAVE detention with Glenny!"
~~~~~~
"...40 minutes...?" Ai groaned. And so the 40 minutes dragged on.. and on... and on... to the point that Ai was almost to the point of killing herself. "... Please tell me it's over?" She said some minute later as she clung to her husband's hand.

Derrick raised a brow at his wife's last comment. "I really am sorry for not coming with you to pick him up, but... As for that detention thing... Yeah, I'll come with you for that." He said. "I'd hate for our son to grow up fatherless for something like detention... Er... So when is it?" He asked, hugging his son tightly. "Hey, kiddo," he said. "We'll tell you how to deal with bullies tonight, okay?" He said.
~~~~~
"Done!" Mai-Fei said, throwing off the headphones. "Wow, I never knew about the eternal sword and other stuff! History is awesome!" She said.
Irvine smiled at his wife. "I think it is... So, who wants ice cream?" He asked with another smile.
"Oh! Mememe!"

"...YES!! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Ai cried as she grabbed her daughter's hand and ran out of the museum while carrying the poor girl.
"SAVED FROM BOREDOM!"
~~~~~
"Kay..." The boy sniffled, knowing that he was stopped from running to his room. "The detention? I donno... 7 PM... something like that." She shrugged. "Was only half paying attention. If I faced him without any distractions, I would have made him cry like there was no tomorrow." She grumbled before munching on some of the food. "You should probably eat up though. Thanks for the food!"
Glenn merely sat in his chair, feeling sore emotionally and physically. "...Everyone hates me... I don't wanna go to school."

"Glenn, nobody hates you, okay?" Derrick said. "They just don't understand you, trust me." He said. "Give it some time, they think you're different... They're right, but you need to show them that being different isn't a bad thing. Just trust me on that." He told the boy, giving him another hug.
"So... I guess at seven we'll go and deal with his silly detention or whatever it is." Derrick said.
~~~~~
"My... Ears..." Irvine sighed.
"Huh? But the museum was really fun!" Mai-Fei said, tilting her head to the side.

"...Yes yes dear, but we can get ice cream now right?" Ai asked as she set the girl down and sighed. "Phew..." She hugged the young girl and the pointed to an ice cream stand. "Could go for some chicken tenders right about now."
~~~~~
Being different is bad... The boy thought as he hugged his father once again, burying his stomach since he was sitting on the chair. He then turned away and began to eat.
"Yeah... we're all different. So you're special. Many won't accept you, but those that will? Those are the friends you'll want to be with." Taini pointed out.
~~~~~
Taini breathed as she glanced at the school. "I really don't understand this..." She groaned as she walked inside with her son clinging to her hand. "What did I even do to deserve this, Love?"

"I really don't know, dear, you didn't tell me what you did to deserve it." Derrick sighed as they entered the classroom where a few parents were already there, most of them looking like hoodlums themselves, and considerably younger than the two.
"AH, EXCELLENT, THE LAST PARENT HAS ARRIVED. AND WHO MIGHT YOU BE?" The giant of an elf asked, standing and walking up to Derrick.
"Unga... Uwah..." Derrick said, his eyes wide. "THAT GUY IS OVER TEN FEET TALL AND MADE OF MUSCLES!" He exclaimed.
"ELEVEN FEET AND TWO INCHES TO BE PRECISE." The man said. "BUT THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT. WHO ARE YOU?"
"D-Derrick... Atma..." Derrick said, his eyes wide as dinner plates.
"AH, SO YOU'RE THE HUSBAND. SUCH A TENDER DISPLAY, IT TRULY WARMS MY HEART."

"...Why do you remind me of Uncle Acey...?" Taini asked as her son was excused off to the OTHER detention. Dun dun dun. She then sat down, her tail stiffened. "Dammit... what did I do to deserve this?" She asked herself again. Buncha lazy no good parents... They all look younger than me! ...Wait.
"Oh right... made a little kid beg for mercy. Uuugh. Bad Taini. Bad." She grumbled to herself, now just wanting to start a fight, for old time's sake. Because she was the devil child, remember?
Nevertheless, she was also receiving plenty of stares from several parents most likely due to both her tail and her constant chattering with herself. And maybe Derrick. Who was already, in their eyes, a Pipsqueak.

"Fair enough." Irvine said, licking his ice cream cone. "We'll go pick up Glenn and then head to the chicken house." He said, unsealing his wings and splitting them. They very slowly shimmered as he worked on his ice cream. By the time he finished it, they were magnificent. "Everyone ready?" He asked.
"I am!" Mai-Fei said happily.
~~~~~
"PLEASE, SIT DOWN." The principal said, ignoring the Acey comment. "IN ANY CASE, YOU ARE ALL HERE BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT SHOWN ANY REGARD FOR THE RULES OF A CIVILIZED SOCIETY. FOR THAT, I WILL TEACH YOU THE GENEALOGY OF CIVILITY... BY LECTURING YOU ALL ON MY ENTIRE FAMILY TREE. WE BECAME A WEALTHY SOCIETY WHEN HEIMDALL WAS FIRST FORMED, ACTING AS BUILDERS, DIPLOMATS, TEACHERS, AND OTHER HEADS OF STATE..." Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

"Yes, but did you have to show off like that?" Ai teased the man as she finished licking her ice cream, which was on an awesome chocolate dipped waffle cone. Mmmmm...
Drool.
"Mmm... looking forward to that chicken though!"
~~~~~
Taini rolled her eyes, placing her head onto the desk, not at all paying attention. She never really paid attention in school, for she didn't need to. She did the homework well enough. She was smart enough to pass while sleeping in class. Of course, she had a bone to pick. Like Taly, like Taini.
"Ugh..." Taini threw her head back, growing annoyed. "Look, kids need to be punished. If anything they don't know a damn thing about civility. Not my fault when I believe in justice. And not my fault for defending my son when he was being beaten by a group."
