Alice Ditches Class

One day, when Alice was in fourth grade at Dover Elementary School, she said that she needed to use the bathroom. Her teacher said, "Here's your pass for the girls' room."

While holding the bathroom key, Alice said, "Thank you, Mr. Brosnan."

But before she left, the teacher gave Alice a warning, telling her, "If you don't return this key to my place, you'll be in so much trouble, Alice."

So she took the pass. Then, when she reached the building, she exited the building.

Her boyfriend, Gideon, asked her for a film. So Gideon and Alice went to the AMC Theaters to see "FernGully: The Last Rainforest."

After the film was finished, she frantically exited the auditorium. She saw the bathroom key. "I gotta return the bathroom key!"

So Alice raced out of the theater and ran back to the classroom.

"Where have you been, Alice?" the teacher asked.

Alice was shocked when she was asked that question.

"I went…." Alice mumbled, trying to tell him the truth.

"What's that, Alice?" he asked.

Alice truthfully said, "I went to the AMC Theaters with Gideon to see 'FernGully: The Last Rainforest.' And then I brought back your bathroom key."

The teacher was furious. "That does it!! Alice Maryanne Pleasance Liddell, you are going to the principal's office because you are punished!"

Alice was so angry that she stomped out of the classroom.

The principal said, "Alice, sit on the bench. I'm calling your father for what you've done."

"Hi there." Sinbad said, "So, Principal Seymour, what's the big deal?"

The principal said, "Alice ditched class by going to the AMC Theaters with her boyfriend, Gideon."

"ALICE, HOW DARE YOU DITCH CLASS BY GOING TO THE AMC THEATERS WITH GIDEON?!?! Come on, Alice! Let's go home!" Sinbad said.

When they got in the car, Sinbad said, "Alice, I am very disappointed in you!"

When they arrived home, Sinbad clutched Alice's wrist angrily.

Alice's mother, Cinderella, asked, "Sinbad, why are you so angry?"

Sinbad said, "Alice ditched class by going to the AMC Theaters with Gideon."

Cinderella said, "Now, Alice, your father and I want you to know that you will be grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded for 2 full weeks!"

"That means no computer, no movies, no video games, no TV, no books, no skateboarding, no rollerblading, no tea party, no ballet class, no playground, no friend's house, no Prince Charming and Marina, nothing! Nothing until you learn to obey my rules." Sinbad yelled.

"Not even food?!?!" Alice's siblings, Shanti and Pinocchio, gasped in alarm.

"Shanti, Pinocchio, go-go out," Sinbad said. "This does not concern you two."

"Yes, it does!" Shanti cried angrily.

"This is none of your business." Sinbad said.

"It is so!" Pinocchio added angrily.

"This is between Alice and us." Sinbad finished.

"You are grounded!" Cinderella said, "I cannot believe you."

"And I forbid you to date Gideon!! Now go to your room!!" Sinbad yelled.

Alice got very angry. She glared angrily at Sinbad and Cinderella and told them, "You two are as evil as the Queen of Hearts!!"

And then, Alice went upstairs to her room in tears, where her boyfriend, Gideon, her best friends, Jase, Pancho, Honest John, Donald Duck, Pooh, and Piglet, and her brothers, Elroy Jetson and Timmy Turner, are waiting for her.
