There was a new student in the 2nd grade of Mornwood. He’s a 6 year old Sprigatito boy named Trip. He stood there, not seeming all that nervous. In fact, he seemed rather calm and chill. Besides his head hair seeming rather mangy, everything else about him appeared rather normal. Their teacher, a Clefable named Mrs. Starlight, said to the kitten, "Alright Trip, you'll be seated next to Fang; he's the Poochyena at the middle table." Trip walked right over and sat there next to Fang. The Sprig had a smell of mint to him, though he also had a very faint smell of something else that Fang recognized; but he couldn't point it out straight away.

Trip at first seemed rather off. It seemed he hadn't a clue or appeared uninterested at what the teacher was teaching. Also, his way of speaking was kinda fragmented, such as skipping certain words and speaking with a rolling "r", though that was rather common for cat Pokemon. Eventually, when a lesson was boring him, he finally turned his attention to the Poochyena whom was sitting next to him.  "Hello, I'm Trip~," said the Sprigatito in a rather relaxed and happy manner. Fang kinda already knew that as he was introduced in front of class earlier today, "I'm Fang, nice to meet you." Trip smiled, "Fang… sounds like a nice name." Fang smiled back, "Trip sounds like a good name too." Trip let out a light purr, wagging his tail, "So nice you are~." It’s not too often Fang was considered a 'nice kid'. Like his older siblings, he was a troublemaker, but something about Trip gave off some good comfortable vibes; he seemed really easy to get along with as he seemed rather down to earth.

During the day, Fang noticed Trip scratching his head with certain seemingly trivial questions on school work that Mrs. Starlight handed out. Fang decided to help him out with those. "Oh, it's that simple? Thanks~," says Trip. Or when Mrs. Starlight gave him a surprise question during a lesson, Fang whispered the correct answer to his ear. This was clearly obvious to the teacher, but she let it slide. Eventually came lunch time, where Fang and Trip ate their lunch together. Trip brought his own lunch which was a mixed berry salad and a bottle of lemonade. While the salad certainly looked better than the normal school food, Fang couldn't imagine eating a salad for lunch. "So how was it like at your old school?", said Fang. Trip however was too busy eating his salad to answer, or appeared so. When Trip looked like he was close to finishing, Fang asked him again. "Oh, was alright...", and that was all that Fang got out of him on that subject.

After lunch and second recess, they were back in Mrs. Starlight's class. He noticed the little Sprig wincing with a paw on his crotch, which is an obvious sign that he had to go potty, and the kitty didn't look like he was going to be able to hold it for very long. Fang certainly didn't want to see the new student as well as a new friend having an accident in class. He whispered, "Hey, tell the teacher you gotta go..." Trip still tried to play cool, "I can hold. It's fine..." Fang wasn't convinced, "It isn't. You're gonna wet your pants. Raise your hand; our teacher will let you go." Suddenly the teacher noticed them talking. "Is there something you two want to talk about?", said Mrs. Starlight. "Um… I need to use the toilet, Mrs Starlight," said the desperate green kitten. Mrs. Starlight smiled, "If you have to go potty Trip, just raise your hand. Don't be shy~." Trip nodded and walked out of the classroom in a slight hurry. All seemed well and good.

However, around five minutes pass, then another five. Mrs. Starlight checked the clock, "Hmm, what's taking him so long?" Fang was worried; he hoped that the new student would be okay. He rose his hand, "Can I go and check on him?" Mrs. Starlight normally wouldn't dare let Fang wander the halls, but she figured that since he's getting along with the new student it wouldn't hurt. "Okay Fang, but come back once you find him." Fang hurried out; he looked up and down the halls until he noticed the green kitty just bumbling around looking confused, as if he was lost. He approached Trip and noticed the smell of mint and a wet kitten, although it’s much stronger than how it was earlier. Trip's pants were drenched and there were signs left of a wet trail all around the hall. "Oh hey Fang, I probably should've told the teacher that I didn't know where the toilets were. I… um… couldn't make it in time." Trip looked a little bummed out with his ears being lowered. But surprisingly to Fang, the kitten didn't appear too upset about what he did; he wasn't crying or anything about it like most kids would. Still, Fang almost wanted to hug the poor wet kitten.

"I'm really lost; can't seem to find my way back to class. Can you help me with that Fang~?" said the grass cat, without a care in the world of his current wet situation. Fang really didn't want the cute kitten to go back to class with his wet pants because the classmates would make fun of him. Fang was still confused, "You're… not sad about pissing your pants?" Trip looked at him funny, "A little… but had to pee really, really bad. I couldn't find toilet, couldn't hold it… feels better not having to anymore~." His expression looked rather relaxed with a cute smile. Still, Fang didn't want the kitten to be found out, which would probably ruin that cute smile of his. "How about I take you to the nurse's office? I really don't want other kids seeing that you had an accident." Trip looked back at him with a puzzled but still relaxed expression, "Why? Should really head back to class before we get in trouble." Fang really couldn't believe he had to explain this to him, "Because you're wet and smell like pee; everyone else in class will make fun of you, even weeks after this."

Trip didn't seem worried, "I'm okay being made fun of; was used to it at previous school. Being wet is a normal thing; still learning the potty; think I'll make it next time if someone tells me where toilets are~." Fang couldn't believe how care-free this kid was. He also found it to be really cute, but being a good friend he should at least help the Sprig know where the restrooms are. "Here, let me show you where the restrooms are." Fang pointed him to the restroom doors that had the words 'Boy's Lavatory' engraved on them with a tiny boy symbol. Fang opened the door for Trip and there were the toilets. Trip giggled a bit, "Oh... Um… my old school, just only had pictures of a boy Pokemon to show where they are. Still trying to learn to read… didn't know what 'laff-tor-ree' meant. Silly me..." They were spending too much time out of class. Eventually, the teacher was gonna get annoyed but Fang wanted to be certain, "Are you sure you don't want me to take you to the nurse's office first? They can clean you up and get you a dry pair of clothes." Trip, who's relaxed demeanor was still unfazed was certain, "You're so nice, wish there was more like you~. I'm certain I'll be fine. I don't mind others seeing me wet, used to that. And… I don't mind feeling wet, only natural. Still really hard to learn the potty~."

"I won't make fun of you. Besides, you look really cute being wet anyw- Eep!". Fang blushed hard, he couldn't believe what he was saying out loud. Trip, who's reaction was normally careless actually had a great blush on his face too. Then he went from being chill to being rather happy and cheerful, as if it was something he really wanted to hear. He hugged Fang with his tail wagging, "Heee! Well that makes being wet even more better for me~." Fang grinned, "Well, hope it happens more then~." While the Poochyena kinda meant it as a joke, he heard and felt a loud purr coming from the Sprigatito, as if he believed Fang actually meant it. "It will~." Fang knew that he made this green kitten's first day a great one due to being a nice friend as well as saying all of this. Then Fang remembered, "Oh! We REALLY should head back to class; we're gonna be in so much trouble if we don't." Trip agreed and followed the pooch back to where class was that had the words 'Mrs. Starlight' on it; again being shown these words so he doesn't forget." When they got into class, Mrs. Starlight was in the middle of a lesson, "What took you two so… oh dear." That's when she noticed that the new kid had an accident.

"Sorry Mrs. Starlight, I got lost; couldn't find my way back. Fang really helped guide me though...~," said the silly, oblivious wet Trip. As expected, the other students point and laughed at the silly green kitten. "Trip? More like drip!" "What a weirdo." "Someone else needs diapers..." Mrs. Starlight sighed at the bitter student reactions. "Fang, can you perhaps guide the new student to the nurses office please..." Fang nodded, taking Trip straight to the nurses office. "I like you Fang, you're the only one I've met who's so nice enough to help me and be by my side~," said Trip. "I like you too Trip, I think we'll be really good friends." After he said this, he noticed Trip stopped moving. Fang turned and was shocked: the kitten was actually starting to cry. Did Fang say something wrong? Then suddenly, Trip ran over and hugged him tight, sniffling, "You ARE a good friend to me… sniff… the only friend..." Fang almost teared up hearing that. He felt very sorry for Trip. He couldn't imagine how alone he probably was, certainly knowing of that feeling in the past. He started petting the back of his soft mangy head to comfort him, "I'll be more than a good friend, I'll be a great friend~." After Trip calmed down a bit, he continued taking him to the nurses office where a Blissey in a nurse's outfit named Mrs. Bliss was standing there. "Oh dear… did someone have an accident?" said Mrs. Bliss. Trip nodded while sniffling from his crying earlier, wiping his teary eyes on his shirt. "Aww, it's okay little cutie, accidents happen. I'll get you cleaned and see if we can get a hold of your mom to hopefully bring you some extra pants. Fang, you may return to class. I'll let your teacher know everything's fine."

Fang returned to class without saying a word; with the teacher continuing her lesson as normal. After around at least a half hour later, Trip finally returns to class in some dry clothes, not smelling like a wet kitten anymore. He leans against Fang, whispering "Thanks friend~." Fang was unsure why he was thanking him. The whole student body knew about Trip's accident. Fang had hoped to prevent that, though perhaps Trip truly didn't care about that; and to be frank, neither did Fang. "You're welcome~," Fang whispered in response. "You're so fun! I'd love to hang out with you after school sometime~," Trip said quietly with a cute blush. "Well I live in a tree house with my...'guardian' Norwood. I think he would like you a lot too~," said Fang, imagining the potential in his head. The kitty looked thrilled, "You live in a tree? I like climbing trees~ Can't wait to meet this Norwood too~."
