We're back, everyone! The honeymoon was so good! We saw all sorts of interesting architecture and flora, hit the beach, and had the most romantic moonlit walks!

But... When we got back, I got a notice from Professor Frankly. There's been a big discovery out east, and he wants me to go and investigate. Unfortunately, it means I've got to leave the school, and I don't know how long it'll be... But it could be the discovery of a lifetime! So I'm sorry to say, but... I'm leaving. I'm so sorry everyone, especially to everyone in Archaeology. But I'll definitely write and send back some cool artifacts! This has been the best time of my life, and thanks everyone!

I really do miss Nabooru... She was such a great friend to me. I really wish she were still around to hear this, and since we got back from Angel Island just as all the bad stuff was happening around here I couldn't tell her. But...

Knuckles proposed to me. We're getting married!

[There's a Watt looking right at the screen, trying to look as cheery as possible. There were plenty of reasons for her to be happy, most importantly today being her birthday and the fact that apparently riots in the city were dwindling down thanks to the sudden change in movement, but she couldn't shake the uneasiness of everything that's happened in the city for the past few months. It's been a scary time for her, even though she hasn't really explained it to anyone, or at least, more specifically.

Despite feel very nervous about the situation, she tried to put on her best face as possible!]

Hi, everyone! Um, um, so, today's my birthday! I can't believe it's here already, this year has gone by so fast! I, um, I've been trying to figure out something to do for my birthday, like, um, going out of town somewhere, but...um...I'm too scared to go outside the school.

[She briefly lost face there at the last second, so she quickly pulled herself together, shaking her head and putting back on that big smile!]

So! Um, I'm trying to figure out things to do in the school that's really fun to do for my birthday. I really haven't come up with anything, though, besides, um, drawing, but I do that a lot anyway. I wanna do something special! Does anyone have any ideas on what to do?

Hey everybody, I'm back! Did you miss me? I know I've been gone so--

[Goombella takes a look at the desktop calendar. IT'S ONLY BEEN A WEEK HERE WHAT...]

Um... Never mind about that, I'm back and that's what matters! And I've got great news! I'm the school's new archaeology teacher! I guess that means you can call me Professor Goombella now! I've never taught a real class before... But I'm sure I'll do fine!

This killer tried to get Mac, huh?

They better pray I don't land so much as a finger on them. I was concerned before, but now this punk has my full attention. I almost hope the police get to 'em before I do.

Hello again, Smash Academy. It's so lovely to be back once again~.

I apologize for leaving so suddenly, there were important matters I had to attend to at the Mushroom Kingdom. Everything is resolved, so I can return to the school at ease knowing everything is now under control.

I've noticed some fresh faces around here, my name is Peach. I was previously a student here but I have now signed up to be a Teacher's Assistant. So I hope to still see you all in class. And don't ever be shy if any of you need my help at all.

Attention Geology students, and all interested!

We have been presented with an invaluable opportunity by the local museum. There is an archaeological dig occurring outside of town, and we have been asked if we would like to participate in it! So, I would like to offer this as extra credit to everyone in the class, and also a learning oppertunity to others. Lots of food will be provided, so even if it's merely for that, I will accept your attendance. There will be a lecture as well, however, this is mostly a fun opportunity to get out of the classroom and earn an easy 100.

So, who's interested? It's next Saturday and Sunday, and we will be camping at the site.

[okay he's done being chipper. :|]
