20th, August 2032
Cory and Patricia are at school learning as usual, Cory was taking notes and paying attention to what the teacher is saying, Patricia felt distracted by someone sitting a little bit far from her, it was Brenda Boar, she loves to pick on and humiliate Patricia. She even likes to insult her looks and fashion. After Patricia told Brenda to "cut it out", the teacher spoke.
Mr. Leitch: Is there something you'd like to say to the class, Patricia?
Patricia: Yes, Brenda won't stop throwing erasers at me!
Mr. Leitch: Brenda, were you throwing erasers at Patricia?
Brenda: Umm, no!
Patricia: She's lying!
Mr. Leitch: Are you sure?
Patricia: See? Look! There's an eraser on my desk!
Mr. Leitch: (Takes a closer look) Let me check.
Mr. Leitch walks to Brenda with the eraser he picked up from Patricia's desk and approaches her and asked her about it.
Mr. Leitch: Brenda, you have some explaining to do.
Brenda: Oh, snap..
Mr. Leitch: The only student who has tie dye erasers is you. Do you think it's funny throwing erasers at kids?
Brenda: Maybe.
Mr. Leitch: I'm afraid you're going to have to stay after school.
Brenda: Awww..
The bell rang, and it was time for recess. Cory is hanging with his best friend Theo once again, Patricia is also tagging along with Cory to hang with him. She didn't want to play alone because Brenda might find her.
Theo: Hey there, Patricia. What's up?
Patricia: Oh, nothing much. Brenda's such a jerk.
Theo: I know, right? She's such a big fart ball!
Patricia: (Giggles about what Theo said)
Theo: It's true.
Patricia: I laughed because I agree with you. She was throwing erasers at me when I'm sitting at my desk. I told the teacher on her, and I think she's staying after school for a while.
Cory: Well, you know what they say, karma's a B word.
Theo: Heheheh.
Whilst Cory and Patricia are at school, Cucumber & Pickles are driving to Jonathan's place, so he can buff up the scratch on Cucumber's car that she got from the aquarium. Jonathan was delighted to see the two.
Jonathan: Hola, Señora Pepino y Señorita Pepinillos!
Cucumber: Hola to you!
Jonathan: Que pasa? What's up?
Cucumber: I came here for you to fix the scratch on my car.
Jonathan: Gladly, I go get the tools.
Jonathan walks off to his garage to find his car buffing tools. Cucumber & Pickles began to chat whilst they wait for Jonathan to get the buffing tools.
Pickles: Surprised we're not embarrassed, are we?
Cucumber: I guess so.
Pickles: It was horrifying to see a scratch on that car.
Cucumber: It was.
Pickles: Nil desperandum, Jonathan's about to fix it.
Cucumber: Alright, I have all the time I need to wait.
Pickles: Plenty of time until we pick the kids up from school.
Jonathan walks back to Cucumber's car with the car buffer tool and starts buffing the scratch. He was a pretty good auto repair guy, so he had loads of experience of buffing scratches on cars. Jonathan wraps up fixing the scratch, and the car looks good as new.
Jonathan: Voila!
Pickles: Good, good.
Cucumber: Thank you! That looks good as new!
Jonathan: De nada.
Pickles: (Looks on his cellphone to see what time it is) Oh, time to pick the kids up!
Jonathan: Adios, Señora Pepino y Señorita Pepinillos!
Cucumber: Hasta luego!
Jonathan: (Waves)
After a few minutes of recess has passed, the bell rang once again for the final lesson in school. Mr. Leitch was teaching the class as usual, Cory and Patricia are at their desks quietly taking notes to get work done. 30 minutes later, the bell rang and was dismissed. The class all ran out the door, including Brenda. Mr. Leitch stopped Brenda and reminded her to stay after school. She told him that she has to use the bathroom, so he said it was okay for her to go to the bathroom, as long as she heads back to class after it. It turns out that Brenda wasn't gonna go to the bathroom, she just came to bully Patricia. She shoved Patricia on the locker and pulled her shirt.
Brenda: Snitch! You're a snitch!! You think you can just tell the teacher on me?! Huh?!
Patricia: I.. I..
Brenda: What? You gonna cry? Let the baby cry! Waaa!
Patricia: Let me go!
Brenda: Or else what? You gonna tell the teacher? Wussy!
Mr. Leitch: (Sees Brenda and Patricia) Brenda! What on earth are you doing to Patricia?
Brenda: Nothing! Just horsing around!
Mr. Leitch: Horsing around by shoving the young lady on the locker! Please get back to class right this instant. You are going to stay after school even longer, and I will call your parents.
Brenda: Baby! Big baby Patricia! (Sticks her tongue out)
Patricia: Buzz off, you big smelly crap face!
Cory: Come on, Patricia, let's go.
Cory and Patricia start walking out the school building so they can wait for Cucumber & Pickles to pick them up. After some time, Cucumber's car with her and Pickles in it park at the curb to wait for Cory and Patricia. Cory runs to the car, but Patricia walks slowly feeling gloomy.
Cucumber: Hi, kids! How was school?
Cory: It was fine.
Cucumber: No problems in school?
Cory: Not for me, but for Patricia, yeah..
Cucumber: Oh, I wonder why for Patricia?
Cory: Well.. uh..
Pickles: Patricia, what's wrong?
After seconds of silence, Patricia begins to lament and speak about what happened at school.
Patricia: (Sniffles) Brenda.. she pushed me on the locker and.. (Sniff) ripped my backpack and yelled at me..
Cucumber: She what?!
Patricia: I can never go to school again.. (Sobs)
Pickles: Oh, princess, don't say that..
Patricia: I want Brenda to die!! I want her to get eaten by monsters!!
Cory: (Snickers)
Cucumber: Cory, that's not funny, your sister is in pain right now.
Cory: I'm not laughing about Patricia crying, I'm laughing about the fact Brenda would get eaten by monsters. Brenda sure is a meanie alright.
Pickles: I'll have a word with Mr. Leitch about Brenda right now.
Pickles pulls up his cellphone to call Mr. Leitch, but he is not in the school. He's sick after school ended, leaving Pickles disappointed.
Pickles: Great!
Cucumber: What's wrong, Pickles?
Pickles: Mr. Leitch ain't at the school.
Pickles then dials the principal of the school to ask where Mr. Leitch is, the principal says he's going to be away for a while because he's sick. He talks to the principal about Brenda, and she was surprised to hear that Brenda was bullying Patricia. So in a few days, Cucumber & Pickles will have to come to the school to talk about it on Monday.
Pickles: It's fine now, honey. I was calling the principal about Brenda, and we'll talk more about her on Monday, okay sweetie?
Patricia: Okay.
Cucumber: Let's hope that mean girl Brenda has justice.
Cucumber and the family are driving away from the school, and they drive to Vinegar's place to see how they are doing. They parked the car, and Cory refuses to get out the car because he doesn't like Vicki.
Pickles: Come on, Cory, out of the car.
Cory: Why? Vicki stinks!
Pickles: Well, I think you need to be nice to her for once.
Cory: Well, she needs to be nice to me first!
Pickles: I don't approve of the back talk, but my cousin will do what he can.
Cory: He better! Because Vicki smells like a foot!
Pickles: Cory!
Cory: [Sing song] Vicki smells like poo! Vicki smells like soot and poo!
Pickles: Enough! Come on, let's go!
Cory: Fine.
Pickles and Cory walk inside the house to meet Cucumber and Patricia. Vinegar was delighted to see Pickles, along with Cory. Sierra and Vicki are in the living room talking with Cucumber and Patricia. Vicki was doing her best to reassure Patricia after a bad day at school and starts giving tips on dealing with a bully.
Vicki: Okay, Patricia, next time you encounter Brenda Boar, punch her in the face.
Patricia: Well.. I don't know if this is a good idea or not.
Vicki: Do you want Brenda to leave you alone, or not?
Cory: Yeah, you gotta fight for your school day. You must kick her butt!
Vicki: I agree with Cory, if you get sent to the principal's office, you must explain to him about everything, deal?
Patricia: Deal. (Shakes Vicki's hand)
Cory: I'll be watching you do it, sis.
Vicki: And I will ask you how it went.
Patricia nodded her head and beamed about Vicki's tip on dealing with a school bully. Pickles comes back in the living room to make sure everything is alright. In fact, Cory and Vicki aren't bickering at each other this time. Pickles was relieved to see Cory and Vicki not bicker at each other.
Pickles: It's time to go.
Cory: Okay, dad.
Patricia: Bye, Vicki! I'll see you on Monday!
Vicki: Don't forget to do what I told you!
Patricia: I won't!
The family all wave goodbye at the Hollingsworths so they can go home and order pizza for dinner. Cucumber pulls up the Pepino's pizzeria website on her laptop to order pizza from it for delivery. Cucumber asks what kinds of pizzas the rest of the family wants from the pizzeria, and they all know what they wanted. Pickles ordered a pizza with mushrooms, olives and peppers on it, Cory and Patricia both wanted personal pizzas with cheese and pepperoni on it, Cucumber ordered just a sausage pizza. Their order has been placed, and now they are waiting for the pizza to arrive. Several minutes has passed, and the doorbell rang. It was Pepino with the pizza boxes. Pickles runs to the door to get it, and it was grabbed the boxes from Pepino.
Pepino: Care to tip-a me?
Pickles: No thanks.
Pepino: Why?
Pickles: I don't feel like it.
Pepino: What do you mean you don't-a feel like it?!
Pickles: I am frugal right now.
Pepino: You don't-a have a heart, Mr. Shepherd!
Pickles: Listen here, Pepenis! Not every one wants to tip a delivery guy. It's 2032, thanks for the pizzas, and get the fuck off my property!
Pepino: Stronzo..
Pickles: You're a stronzo, bitch.
Cucumber was covering Cory and Patricia's ears during Pickles berating at Pepino because Cory and Patricia shouldn't really hear their father cuss at a delivery guy like Pepino. Pickles is carrying the pizza boxes to the table, Cucumber starts gathering the plates, napkins and cups to the table, Pickles places the personal pizzas one for Cory, and one for Patricia. Some of the large pizza boxes are open, the family starts to dig in. They all enjoyed their pizzas at the table, and Pickles began to say something.
Pickles: So, Cory, were you finally getting along with Vicki?
Cory: I was just agreeing with her on something.
Pickles: Oh?
Cory: It was abou-
Patricia: Don't tell!
Cory: Sorry.
Pickles: Ah, a secret. I will ask no further then.
Patricia: So, dad, why were you yelling at the pizza man?
Cucumber: Because he refuses to tip him.
Patricia: Tip? What's that mean?
Cucumber: It means to give someone a small sum of money as a reward for performing such service.
Patricia: Why didn't he do that?
Pickles: Because, I didn't want to.
Cucumber: No offence but, that's pretty rude.
Pickles: Can we just eat our pizzas please? Thanks.
Cory: Dad's right, we should just eat our yummy pizzas.
Pickles: Attaboy, Cory.
