Rocky buried his face against his desk. "I can't do it… my brain will explode."
Kelpie splashed water droplets on desk, pouting. "But if there's no reward, why would anyone write answers for fun?"
Vlad Jr. leaned back with a sigh so heavy it sounded like heartbreak. "The cruelty… the sheer cruelty of asking a prince to lower himself to scribbling."
Luna groaned, dragging a hand down her face. "You're all acting like babies. It's just writing words—we do that every day," she said, trying to sound like an adult.
"Writing every day is one thing," Drake argued, puffing his cheeks. "But when Teacher calls it a test, it suddenly feels ten times scarier!"
Alina bit her lip to stop from laughing, her eyes sparkling as she looked around at the chaos. "So… you all know what a test is after all. You were just pretending."
The babies froze, caught red-handed.
Boo raised his hand sheepishly. "Maybe… just a little pretending."
