Spring break in Animalia would be a lot quieter this year, due in no small part to the Coronavirus. But because of the somewhat higher resistance to the virus that Animalians had, society wasn't completely stopping. There were, however, some new things going on, due in no small part to the number of rich and "super rich" that were becoming part of Animalia.

Cooper ended up surprising a large number of people, not the least Jen and Ashley. After Cooper had presented his plans for a proper theater for plays and operas and gotten an approval, he began drafting blueprints for said theater. As it turned out, he was a bit of an architecture genius. Because of this, the plans for new manors for the new upper class members were sent to him for revision and updating.

Peter managed report a rather cringe-worthy event that happened over last weekend, though it wasn't what most people thought about when they thought was cringe-worthy. But after they heard his report, it was a bit more understandable.
"We had a brand-new applicant to the GGAC," said Peter, reporting the new applicant to the main office. "But he was a little... delusional about what he would find when he was part of the club."
"Delusional how?" said the secretary at the main office, filing the latest paperwork in the right file.
"He seemed to think that he'd somehow get to become an anime hero." said Peter, shaking his head. "He'd said something about meeting a "dark-skinned, white-haired, bikini-armored-"
"All right that's enough." said the secretary, now knowing what kind of 'delusional' he was.
"Well, we've all got our work cut out for us to show him how that's not how that works." said Peter, getting ready to head back to class.
"Give him a few hard knocks every now and again, it'll do him good." said the secretary.

Meanwhile, Buford and Aleta were called to the PR-MD offices for a very unusual reason.
"These two were members of the newest group of conversions." said the Agent, handing their folder over.
"So you want us to show them around town?" asked Buford.
"Not really," said the Agent, "Their son's in a bit of trouble."
"What kind of trouble?" asked Aleta, now more confused.
"Apparently while his parents got converted to bull sharks, their son decided it would be a good time to drive their luxury sports car around town." said the Agent.
"He didn't wreck it, did he?" asked Buford.
"No, actually." said the Agent, smiling and shaking his head, "He got an even funnier fate, getting the car stuck in wet concrete."
"Oh, right." said Buford, remembering seeing a few pictures of sports cars stuck in wet cement.
"Not only that," continued the agent, "When Luke picked him up, it turned out that he didn't have a driver's license, just a learner's permit."
"Let me guess," said Buford, "His excuse was 'How can I learn if I'm not permitted to drive?'."
"Right in one." said the agent, "But his punishment is where you come in."
"Alright..." said Aleta, who knew next to nothing about such things.
"His parents also got him a bull shark conversion, but only a single dose." said the Agent, "And while they're getting their new house together, you two are going to be making sure that he doesn't get to do anything fun."
"Ah, right." said Buford, "He's grounded."
"And a bit spoiled as well," finished the agent, "So be sure to enforce it extra hard."
