I-I Lin. I’m from China and here for uh three year,” Lin said after his homeroom teacher introduced him to the class. A few classmates chuckled between themselves while he stood nervously up at the front\n\t“Lin, you can take that seat on the third row near the back. If you need any help just ask,” his teacher stated.\n\t“Shi, I mean yes. Okay,” he replied and then walked down the isle to his chair.\n\n\tFour hours and three different classes later Lin was sitting at a table during lunch. Onai and Luna walked up and sat down opposite of him.\n\t“How’s your first day of school going?” Onai asked.\n\t“I don’t know. Some furs aren’t nice but I think it’s okay so far,” Lin explained.\n\t“Aren’t nice? Who and what are they doing?” Luna asked looking around.\n\t“Nothing. I handle it myself if I need to,” Lin replied.\n\t“Don’t be stupid Lin. Don’t fight. Let a teacher or the principal know. We have zero tolerance for fighting here,” Onai replied.\n\t“Okay,” Lin replied and smiled at them.\n\t“How are you liking your classes?” Luna asked.\n\t“They are okay. Much easy than China,” Lin replied then took a bit of the hamburger.\n\t“You’ve had reading, math and science today so far right?” Luna asked.\n\t“Shi,” Lin replied. They sat there eating and talking until the bell rung.\n\n***\n\n\t“Mom,” Pepper said as she and Shade walked into the kitchen.\n\t“Yes sweetie?” Willow replied.\n\t“We need to talk to you about something,” Pepper stated.\n\t“Sure. What is it?” Willow asked walking into the dining room with a cup of coffee.\n\n\tPepper and Shade followed Willow and sat down.\n\n\t“It’s not easy to say, so I’ll just say it,” Pepper said then sighed. “We’re thinking about moving out,” Pepper stated. \n\t“Oh?” Willow replied sitting her coffee down. “That’s a big step for you two. Where are you thinking about moving to?” Willow asked.\n\t“We found a nice house but it’s kind of expensive. We’re not asking you to pay for it all though. We need help though. We don’t want you, Fang or Vapor to pay for it. We want to work for our house,” Pepper explained.\n\t“That’s good you want to do it yourselves. Where is it and how much?” Willow asked.\n\t“It’s at Laguna Beach in California,” Shade stated.\n\t“It’s a house right on the beach,” Pepper said.\n\t“Okay. Sounds like a nice location. Though it’s like twelve hundred miles away. Why there?” Willow asked.\n\t“Well, we think that we would like to be on the beach. We want to learn to surf and scuba dive. Try something new and get away from the cold winters. And to be honest, we think it would be lovely to live on the beach,” Shade explained.\n\t“And if you end up not liking it?” Willow asked.\n\t“Rent the house out. An easy two to three thousand dollars a month,” Pepper replied.\n\t“How much is this house?” Willow asked.\n\t“Nine million,” Shade replied.\n\t“Umm, WOW. What’s the square footage of this house?” Willow asked.\n\t“Around fifteen hundred square feet,” Shade replied.\n\t“That is a lot of money for a house of that size, Pepper, Shade. My house is over fifteen hundred square feet and it’s valued just under half a million,” Willow exclaimed.\n\t“Maybe so, but this house is beach front property. In Laguna Beach. In California. The real estate there is expensive to begin with. Even a small one bedroom apartment a hundred miles inland would be over twelve hundred dollars a month,” Pepper explained.\n\t“You need to look at this house in person before deciding this. I’ll say this now, I will not give you any money or co-sign for a house that you two or I haven’t seen in person. Understood?” Willow stated.\n\t“It’s not the only reason why we’re moving Willow,” Shade said.\n\t“Oh?” Willow replied looking up at them while sitting her coffee down.\n\t“I was offered a job out there for drawing cartoons. I couldn’t pass up the eighty-thousand dollar a year job for the first year then doubles if they keep me. I just also couldn’t pass it up especially since it’s a passion of mine to draw. I know that we would make more here, but we’re not worried about rolling in millions a year,” he added.\n\t“Congratulations Shade! I’m proud of you! I don’t expect you or anyone else to stick around just to work at Wolfe and Fox. It’s not the right job for everyone. Plus, it’s not my decision to make, it’s Vapor’s company. Well, you know, half of it, a third… something,” Willow replied and chuckled.\n\t“So, a road trip then?” Shade asked.\n\t“I guess so. I’ve always wanted to visit California. So I guess I’ll get to do it now,” Willow replied.\n\t“You think Fang, Vapor and everyone else would want to come along?” Pepper asked.\n\t“I’m sure they’ll want to,” Willow replied.\n\t“We’ll talk to Fang and Vapor about it. We haven’t told anyone else,” Pepper said.\n\t“Okay,” Willow replied.\n\t“What about college?” Willow asked.\n\t“We’ve looked into the universities there and all of our credits will transfer without issue. Once we’re finished with this semester we’re going to hold off until we get settled down in California,” Shade explained.\n\t“Okay good. I’m glad that you two have done all of the proper research so far,” Willow replied.\n\t“Thanks,” both replied then smiled.\n\t“Have you two looked into a mortgage? How much will the monthly payment be?” Willow asked. Both Pepper and Shade looked at each other, almost scared to tell her.\n\t“We’ll both have to work to pay everything. It’s a minimum of $4000 per month but could be up to $5,000 per month, then plus water, sewer, electric and anything else we’ll need. When we apply for the loan we’ll know for sure then,” Shade replied.\n\t“So, you’re looking at maybe $5,000 to $6,000 per month. Is this right?” Willow asked.\n\t“Yes,” Pepper replied almost defeated.\n\t“Have you looked for a job out there yet Pepper?”\n\t“Yes, but I don’t qualify for full-time job yet. I did speak to a few companies and they are willing to bring me on as an part-time employee while I finish my studies. I’ll just barely manage $500 per week working after I do my morning classes. I’ll be working 30 hours a week. Once Shade is at his job for a year, then we’ll be able to survive much easier,” Pepper explained.\n\t“You two really need to sit down and really think about this. Missing a house payment and even multiple will destroy both of your credit line. If I co-sign, it could hurt mine as well. I will not allow that to happen to my credit. If you both decide to continue, I’m going to set a few rules and conditions for you both to follow. Okay?” Willow replied.\n\t“Yes mom, that’s fine,” Pepper replied.\n\t“Shade?” Willow spoke.\n\t“Of course, that’s fine,” he replied.\n\t“Okay then. Let me know. I’d like to see everything you have about this house,” Willow replied.\n\t“We will, but it’ll be later today,” Shade replied.\n\t“Shade and I are heading into town, we’ll be back later,” Pepper said.\n\t“Okay be careful. Love you both,” Willow replied.\n\t“Oh by the way, happy 38th birthday mom,” Pepper said.\n\t“Happy birthday Willow,” Shade added.\n\t“Thank you both,” Willow replied and smiled.\n\t“Yup,” Pepper replied.\n\t“Hey, pay attention in the school zones, school started today,” Willow reminded them.\n\t“Will do. Bye Willow,” Shade said taking his keys from his pocket.\n\n***\n\nFriday December 8, 2028\n\n\tIt was early December, Onai, Luna, Todd and Lin were sitting in the cafeteria eating lunch when Bruno, a rottweiler and the star quarterback of the twelfth grade football team, headed towards the table. Bruno rushed up and slammed Lin’s face down into his food. Most of the entire cafeteria burst out laughing. Onai, Todd and Luna sat there horrified but silent, their paws covering their muzzles. Lin lifted his head up and growled then wiped the food off his face. He slammed his paws on the table.\n\t“Are you okay?” Onai and Luna both asked. He shook his head, stood up and faced Bruno.\n\t“Aww, is the panda gonna cwy for his mommy in China?” Bruno said loudly causing another outburst of laughter. Lin’s paw tightened into a ball then loosened up again.\n\t“Nah, I don’t need my mom to kick you ass,” Lin replied.\n\t“HAHAHAHA. You? YOU are going to kick MY ass? You’re a scrawny pipsqueak loser that can barely speak English. Go back to your shit hole country and leave our great nation! We don’t need more third world shit-hole furs like you here,” Bruno said loudly and turned in a circle with his arms out. Once again the cafeteria burst out in laughter. Lin growled loudly and balled up his fist.\n\t“LIN DON’T! He’s not worth it,” Luna shouted. It was too late, Lin spun around on his left hindpaw and round house kicked Bruno in the side of his chest, sending him towards the stage, causing a cracking sound. Lin rushed up and grabbed Bruno’s head and slammed his face into the stage floor four times quickly. He then pulled Bruno back towards the cafeteria and took a fighting stance. The cafeteria oohed then went silent. Both of Lin’s balled up paws out in front of him. Bruno stood over a foot taller and had much more muscle than Lin. Bruno cupped his nose and felt the blood running out, he looked up at Lin and growled then rushed towards him. He swung a punch but Lin stepped to the side and sent his own paw into Bruno’s stomach. Bruno collapsed to the ground smashing his face into the ground. Lin squatted down pushed Bruno onto his back, then punched him in the ribs six times in quick succession and another punch to the face. He started to punch again but stopped as Bruno started crying at this point. Lin moved back to the table picked up his food tray and then dumped it on Bruno’s bloodied face. Bruno’s nose was broken and badly bleeding and had already started staining his jersey and pooling on the floor underneath him.\n\tLin squatted down and whispered something into Bruno’s ear. Bruno laid on the floor his eyes widened as Lin said whatever he did. With a final hard kick to his ribs, another loud crack echoed through the silent cafeteria. He turned back to Onai, Todd and Luna. Everyone sat shocked and in awe. The entire cafeteria was silent for the less than thirty second fight.\n\t“Fucking hell Lin! What the hell have you done?!” Luna shouted after snapping out of it. Her, Todd and Onai jumped up, grabbed their bags and Lin’s bag. Luna started running and grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the cafeteria towards the office.\n\t“Let go me!” Lin scowled.\n\t“No. We need to get to the office now before you get into trouble,” Onai scowled. Both Todd and Onai grabbed his arms and pulled him away. They rushed into the office as the news of it broke over the radio.\n\t“We need to talk to Mr. Rosco now!” Onai said frantically to the office secretary.\n\t“Yeah, I think you all really do need to. Sit! All four of you,” she replied.\n\n\tLin sat in the chair, who was now shaking after the entire ordeal. After twenty minutes Mr. Rosco walked in and looked down at the four cubs.\n\t“My office. All of you. Now,” Rosco said and pointed.\n\n\tLin sat directly in front of Rosco, he was shaking heavily now.\n\n\t“I just finished watching the security cameras of the fight. Lin, you should not have retaliated,” Rosco stated.\n\t“I taught to defend self. I did right thing,” Lin replied.\n\t“Not here. We have zero tolerance for fighting,” Rosco stated.\n\t“PUNRISH HIM NOT ME! He start it all the rime,” Lin scowled.\n\t“Do not raise your voice at me, Lin, please,” Rosco stated and looked over at the other three.\n\t“Onai, Luna and Todd, go back to your classes, you can get an excuse note from Mrs. Hinton,” he said.\n\t“What about Lin? What’s going to happen?” Onai asked.\n\t“I’m calling your mom and dad. We’ll settle it after they get here. Go on, go to class, before I find a reason for you three to be punished as well,” Rosco stated and pointed towards the door.\n\t“Yes sir. Take it easy on him please, he doesn’t understand everything just yet,” Luna replied.\n\t“I know Ms. Wolfe. Now go,” Rosco stated.\n\n\tAn hour later Fang walked into the office and shook paws with Rosco. He looked down at Lin. He was silent with tears dripping to his pants.\n\t“Jeez Lin. Are you okay?” Fang asked squatting down. Lin nodded his head.\n\t“What’s going on Mr. Rosco?” Fang asked.\n\t“I’m sorry that I had to ask for you here, but Lin was in a fight. Beat the other student pretty badly,” Rosco explained.\n\t“What the fuck Lin?” Fang scowled.\n\t“Fang, you’re in a school. Language please,” Rosco scowled.\n\t“Yes, I’m sorry Mr. Rosco. Lin, what happened?” Fang asked and took a seat.\n\t“Bluno came up pushed face food. I defend myself,” Lin replied.\n\t“You can watch it for yourself, Mr. Wolfe,” Rosco said. He turned the TV on and pressed play on the security footage.\n\t“Wow. That was only 25 seconds and you did that much to him?” Fang stated.\n\t“Mr. Wolfe this isn’t a good matter. Lin is in serious trouble here. He broke Mr. Berglund’s nose and possibly multiple ribs,” Rosco explained.\n\t“I know that… It clearly shows that Bruno started it, but you are correct. Lin shouldn’t have fought back. So what’s going to happen?” Fang replied and asked.\n\t“I don’t want to expel him. That would end him being an exchange student and he would have to go back to China. I’m going to place him in in-school-suspension until the winter break starts in about two weeks,” Rosco explained.\n\t“I no go want back China,” Lin said looking up.\n\t“Lin, say that correctly,” Fang said looking at him.\n\t“Uh, I don’t want to go back to China,” Lin replied slowly.\n\t“You’re not going to be sent back,” Rosco stated.\n\t“You’re getting off with a pretty light punishment at school Lin. I would have been expelled if I was in a fight that didn’t almost kill me,” Fang said and crossed his arms and looked at Rosco.\n\t“I assure you this light punishment is not because of your funding. It’s because Lin is new here and new to America. He doesn’t know all the rules, but he will,” Rosco explained.\n\t“What is expel?” Lin asked.\n\t“You would be banned from school for a certain length of time, usually the rest of the school year,” Fang explained.\n\t“Oh. That not good,” Lin replied.\n\t“No it’s not,” Fang replied.\n\t“Look Mr. Wolfe, we can’t have him here for the rest of the day. I don’t want to risk retaliation by any of the other students, especially the football players. He has to go home for the day,” Rosco explained.\n\t“Fair enough. I want a copy of that fight video. Can you email it to be while we’re still here please?” Fang asked.\n\t“Yes, give me a moment. I need you to read and sign these papers. Both of you have to sign them. Basically it states that Lin was punished for fighting and that you both understand the gravity of the situation,” Rosco stated.\n\n\tFang took the papers and read them. After a few minutes he signed and handed them to Lin. He stepped Lin through and explained various things and then had him sign them.\n\n\t“Lin, you’re getting off lightly here. Do not get into another fight or I will have no other choice but to expel you. That will end your Exchange Student Visa and you will be sent back to China. Do you understood?” Rosco stated.\n\t“Shi, I mean yes. Thank you,” Lin replied.\n\t“Is that all Mr. Rosco?” Fang asked.\n\t“No. Lin, first thing Monday, I want you back in this office, understood?” Rosco replied.\n\t“Okay,” Lin replied and bowed.\n\t“Principal Rosco, remind me. Why are eighth grade students doing in the high school this year,” Fang asked.\n\t“We brought that up in the meeting Mr. Wolfe. Plus there was the notices sent home and the multiple news reports about the fire. The middle school was heavily damaged with the fire and water at the start of July. Fifth to seventh grades have been moved between the elementary school and temporary out buildings,” Rosco explained.\n\t“Ah yes that’s right. I’m sorry, I completely forgot about that. How’s it working out with eighth grade mixing in with high schooler’s?” Fang asked.\n\t“Working pretty well so far with no serious issues,” Rosco replied.\n\t“Good to hear. Will eighth grade remain in the high school or will they move back to the middle school after it’s rebuilt?” Fang asked.\n\t“We’re not sure yet. Most likely they’ll move back. But if everything works out well with no serious issues, we might keep it this way,” Rosco replied.\n\t“Okay. Onai, Luna and Todd seems to enjoy it here, so I was just curious. I’m going to push for eighth grade to remain in the high school, at the next meeting,” Fang replied.\n\t“If you want to, go ahead. I can’t stop you,” Rosco replied.\n\t“Thank you. Have a good day Mr. Rosco,” Fang replied.\n\t“You too Mr. Wolfe,” Rosco replied.\n\t“Come on Lin,” Fang said and headed out the door. Lin looked at Rosco for a few seconds, “I’m sorry,” he said then grabbed his bag and rushed out of the room.\n\n***\n\n\tBack at home Fang and Lin walked into the house. Willow and Pepper sat at the dining room table talking. They looked up to see them walk in.\n\n\t“What happened Fang?” Willow asked.\n\t“Lin go to your room now. I’ll be up later,” Fang stated with his arms crossed.\n\n\tThey watched as Lin walked slowly to the stairs not saying anything while his head was hung low. Fang sat down and rubbed his temples.\n\t“Lin, uh… he got into a fight. Beat the crap out of Bruno Berglund,” Fang replied.\n\t“Oh no. He got expelled?” Willow asked.\n\t“No, not expelled. Rosco sent him home for today but Monday he starts in-school-suspension until winter break starts,” Fang explained.\n\t“How do I know the name Berglund?” Pepper asked.\n\t“He’s the star quarterback of the school for twelfth grade,” Fang replied rolling his eyes.\n\t“And Lin kicked his ass?” Pepper exclaimed causing Fang to let out a short chuckle.\n\t“I shouldn’t be laughing about this,” Fang replied. He pulled out his phone and pulled up the video and handed it to them.\n\t“OH WOW!!!” Pepper exclaimed.\n\t“How? What? That’s really Lin?” Willow asked.\n\t“Yup. Just a kick, four head slams and a series of punches and Bruno was done, crying like a baby,” Fang replied.\n\t“But his movements are so fast. How?” Willow replied.\n\t“I don’t know,” Fang replied shrugging his shoulders.\n\t“What’s his punishment going to be here?” Willow replied.\n\t“I don’t know if we even can. I mean, he does everything that we have asked him to help with. Doesn’t make a fuss about anything. Helps out with everything. I don’t know if he’s really able to be punished. I think I’m just going to talk to him about his actions,” Fang explained.\n\t“Yeah, you’re right about that,” Willow replied.\n\t“So have you talked to Bruno’s parents?” Pepper asked.\n\t“Nope. Didn’t see them. Rosco didn’t bring anything up about them. He made it sound like as if Bruno was a bully, so I don’t know,” Fang replied.\n\t“Zero tolerance for defending yourself but all the tolerance for bullies,” Willow replied shaking her head.\n\t“It’ll never change. Anyway, I’m going to go speak with Lin. He’s pretty upset about the whole ordeal. He could barely speak English while in the office and on the way home,” Fang replied and then headed upstairs.\n\n\tFang walked into the open bedroom door and saw Lin sitting up straight in the desk chair. He looked up at Fang and gave a slight smile but then frowned again.\n\n\t“You okay Lin?” Fang asked as he walked into the room.\n\t“I guess,” Lin replied.\n\t“You understand why you’re in trouble right?” Fang asked as he sat down on the bed.\n\t“Yes Fang. I fight and that bad,” Lin replied.\n\t“I don’t mind that you defended yourself. I’m happy that you did, but sadly the school system rules suck big time. But like Mr. Rosco said you’re getting off pretty easy,” Fang stated.\n\t“I know,” Lin replied.\n\t“I don’t know how to punish you Lin. You do work around here without fussing. You seem to enjoy working. So I’m kind of at a loss on what to do. What do you think you’re punishment should be?” Fang asked.\n\tLin looked at up him and cocked his head.\n\t“I work in the mines if I have to. I understand what I did was bad,” Lin replied and shuffled his paws in his lap.\n\t“Work in the mines?” Fang asked quite very confused.\n\t“In China if we do rearry bad things we forced to work in mines. Dig out iron, copper and other things,” Lin explained.\n\t“Oh. Lin, we don’t do that here. It’s illegal to send cubs to work like that,” Fang explained.\n\t“That good. I don’t know Fang. I do anything you want me too,” Lin replied.\n\t“That’s my issue Lin. You enjoy helping with everything and you don’t fuss about it,” Fang replied and laughed. Fang wiped the tears from Lin’s eyes and smiled at him.\n\t“Fang… You not going to send me back to China are you?” Lin looked up as tears started welling in his eyes. Fang’s heart skipped a beat from Lin’s emotions and expressions.\n\t“No Lin, I’m not. I couldn’t, we like you far too much to do that,” Fang replied.\n\t“Thank you,” Lin replied and smiled. A ding sounded from his laptop, he lifted the lid open and moved his finger over the mouse track pad. He had a few emails onscreen.\n\t“Email from luánshēng jiěmèi … uh sorry, email from twin sister,” Lin replied.\n\t“What does she say?” Fang asked.\n\t“Umm, very disappointed because I fight and in trouble,” Lin replied.\n\t“Ouch,” is all that Fang could say. He rubbed Lin’s head for reassurance.\n\t“I think I know of a punishment. Let your sister know that you won’t be able to talk to her for the weekend and all of next week,” Fang stated.\n\t“What?” Lin asked looking back.\n\t“Go on, type it up,” Fang replied. He watched as Lin quickly typed garbled looking characters onto the screen. After just a couple of minutes he sent the email and turned back to Fang.\n\t“Okay finished,” Lin replied. They waited a bit until Lin received a reply back.\n\t“Shut the laptop down completely,” Fang stated. Lin did as told. After he shut the lid he watched as Fang picked up his laptop and the two desktop keyboards and mouse.\n\t“You’re punishment is no computers for the entire weekend and next week, meaning no chatting with your sister. I want you studying and working on your English and other classwork. Okay?” Fang explained.\n\t“Yes,” Lin replied.\n\t“Also, I am … you can’t hang out with Laika. I’m banning her from helping you this weekend,” Fang said and exhaled.\n\t“Fang, no. Please no. I rearry like Laika, she help me lots. Anything else,” Lin said jumping out of the chair.\n\t“Lin. It’s only for the weekend,” Fang replied.\n\t“Fang… No please. Anything-” Lin looked up at him with remorse in his eyes.\n\t“Lin, this is your punishment. You knew what our rules were. You broke them. Number one is no fighting. I don’t have any other way to punish you,” Fang replied.\n\t“I … I understand,” Lin replied and sat back down on the chair. His body slid a little bit, only being stopped by his hindpaw heels digging into the carpet. It was the first time ever that Lin wasn’t sitting straight in a chair without Fang or Vapor repositioning him.\n\t“If you need help with your English studies feel free to ask Willow, Vapor or me, okay? You’re not to ask Laika, Luna, Onai, Todd or any one else,” Fang stated.\n\t“Yes,” Lin replied and stared down at the carpet. Fang walked out of the room and down the stairs. Willow and Pepper was still sitting at the table when he sat the laptop and other stuff down onto the table.\n\n\t“Fang, you didn’t take all that from him did you?” Willow asked.\n\t“Yes for the weekend and next week. Plus he’s not allowed to hang out with Laika this weekend or get help from her or anyone other than mom, Vapor or me,” Fang replied.\n\t“FANG! That is just… that’s a harsh punishment,” Willow replied.\n\t“And tell me, mom, how would you punish him for fighting in school? He does everything he’s told without question or fuss,” Fang replied.\n\t“Dammit Fang, sure take the laptop and computer, but to tell him he can’t hangout with someone?” Pepper replied.\n\tFang chuckled at the two of them. Both narrowed their eyes at him.\n\t“Easy you two. Don’t you remember that Laika is going over to that sleepover this weekend? I don’t think that Lin knows that yet,” Fang replied.\n\t“You’re still an asshole Fang!” Pepper replied.\n\t“How? She wasn’t going to be here anyway. So it’s technically not really a punishment,” Fang asked.\n\t“Because you’ve made him think that he can’t be around her. What if he thinks he can’t be around her for the entirety of his stay here?” Pepper asked.\n\t“Because I told him it’s only for the weekend. Now lets drop this please. It really hurt me telling him that and taking his laptop. Drop it,” Fang replied.\n\t“Fine but you’re still mean brother,” Pepper replied.\n\t“Love you too little sis,” Fang replied and kissed her head.\n\n***\n\nMonday December 11, 2028\n\n\tLin walked into the schools office Monday morning, Mrs. Hinton asked him to sit down and wait. He watched as various students walked in, handed off papers, take papers and be told stuff and then left. About fifteen minutes later Bruno walked in followed by his dad. Mrs. Hinton asked them to sit down as well. Bruno looked over at Lin and narrowed his eyes at Lin. Another ten minutes passed and the bell rung. Mr. Rosco walked into the office and called all four to his office.\n\t“It’s clear that Bruno started the fight, but for him to break my son’s nose and five of his ribs? That’s uncalled for,” Bruno’s father stated.\n\t“Maybe not let son do bad things he do?” Lin said as he sat straight in his chair.\n\t“Shut up you chink freak fuck,” Bruno’s dad scowled.\n\t“Mr. Berglund do NOT use racial slurs in my school. I’m sorry but I am expelling your son from school. He’s also banned from playing football for the remainder of his time at this school,” Mr. Rosco stated.\n\t“That is bullshit! What the fuck is going to happen to HIM?!” Mr. Berglund scowled.\n\t“Stop using profane words, you’re in a school. He’s an exchange student and doesn’t understand all of the rules, but once he’s done with his punishment he will know them all and fully understand them,” Mr. Rosco explained.\n\t“Oh, so my son gets expelled for just pushing his face into food, but he fights and beats my son and gets off scotch free?” Mr. Berglund replied.\n\t“Look Mr. Berglund, your son started it. You’ve already agreed to that. Bruno has been caught multiple times in the past bullying others. He’s been warned multiple times. Both of them are facing their punishments. Now please go,” Mr. Rosco.\n\t“I bet it has to do with the Wolfe family and their funding of this district doesn’t it?” Mr. Berglund scowled.\n\t“It has nothing to do with them or the funding. Lin is a new student from overseas. He does not fully understand every rule. He will though after his punishment, as I’ve stated already. Now please leave or I’ll have to call for security,” Mr. Rosco stated.\n\n\tThe two of them stood up and left the room with Mr. Berglund cursing at the two. Mr. Rosco exhaled and rubbed his head. He looked over at Lin who was still sitting up straight.\n\n\t“Lin, you sitting so still and upright like that, does it ever start hurting?” Mr. Rosco asked.\n\t“Sometimes but I used to pain,” Lin replied.\n\t“Interesting. Anyway, today you start your in-school-suspension. Do you understand what that is?” Rosco asked.\n\t“Yes, I in a classroom. I study, do work, eat in the room. I only leave for restroom at certain time and day end,” Lin explained.\n\t“Good. Come on, I’ll walk you to the room,” Rosco stated.\n\n\tRosco and Lin stepped into the room. Rosco walked up to the desk with a teacher and handed her a folder. They talked for a few minutes while Lin stood there. He looked around, just moving his eyes. The room had twenty desks, eight of them filled with other students. They were looking down at books and writing on sheets of paper. The walls were the same boring white like all the other classrooms. There were various posters taped to the walls. On one side of the room was a table with three computers, the monitors were turned off, but the computer fans could be heard spinning, just barely audible. Behind the teachers desk was a large dry erase board, just like in every other classroom.\n\n\tAfter a moment Rosco walked up to Lin and nodded.\n\t“Listen to the teacher. Raise your paw if you need to speak. And do not get into a fight,” he said.\n\t“Okay,” Lin replied.\n\n\tRosco left the room as the teacher called out to Lin. He stepped up to the desk. The teacher proceeded to explain the rules and how things work for in-school-suspension, ISS. After explaining the rules, the teacher told him to take a seat. He sat there for about fifteen minutes, until the door opened up. Another teacher walked in and up to the desk. The ISS teacher pointed to Lin. The other teacher walked up and sat a dozen books on his desk then left.\n\t“Lin, start with math. Page 102. Read the chapter and do ALL of the questions and problems at the end of the chapter. Raise your paw if you need help or when you finish,” the teacher said. Lin nodded and moved all books off the desk except for math. He opened it and started reading.\n\n\tAt the end of the day Lin walked out of the classroom and exhaled. He looked down the hallway and saw Onai, Luna and Todd waiting for him. He smiled as he walked up to them but quickly frowned.\n\n\t“How is ISS?” Onai asked.\n\t“Uh, boring,” Lin replied bluntly.\n\t“Better than the alternative though,” Luna replied. The three of them started walking out to their school bus.\n\t“Yeah. I be on plane right now,” Lin replied and exhaled.\n\n\tFinally back at home Lin waited in the library, reading books, while Laika was at cheerleading practice. After a couple of hours Pepper and Laika finally walked into the house.\n\n\t“Raika! I sorry that I stay away from you this weekend,” Lin said as they stood at the stairs opening on the second floor after school on Monday.\n\t“What do you mean?” Laika asked.\n\t“Fang tell me as punishment I can not hang out with you. I was sad all weekend,” Lin explained.\n\t“Lin, I wasn't home. I was at a friends house all weekend, Silly Panda!” Laika replied and chuckled.\n\t“What? But Fang say…” he started but was cut off by Laika.\n\t“I think he was being nice to you. He knew I wasn’t going to be here, so he told you that,” Laika said to him.\n\t“So… Fang not mad at me?” Lin asked.\n\t“Well, I mean he is mad at you because of the fight. But I guess he thought it would be a clever punishment,” Laika explained.\n\t“Oh. Okay,” Lin replied still confused.\n\t“Look, don’t worry about it anymore. It's in the past now,” Laika replied and kissed his cheek, causing him to blush.\n\t“Thank you for worrying about me Lin,” Laika said and smiled.\n\t“Well, I still fee…” Lin started but Laika put her finger to his muzzle.\n\t“Shush. It’s okay. Don’t think about it. Come on I’ll help you with your homework,” Laika said and took his paw and lead him to his bedroom.\n\n\tNearly two hours after everyone arrived back home Fang opened the door after hearing the doorbell. At the door stood a rottweiler.\n\t“Where’s the little chink bastard that got my son expelled?” The rottweiler scowled. Lin walked out of the dining room along with Onai, Luna and a few others.\n\t“Who are you and why are you at my house?” Fang asked holding the rottweiler back.\n\t“That bastard got my son expelled from school. I’m going to beat your fucking face in you Chinese fuck!” He scowled.\n\t“Kids you know where to go, go now!” Fang said and tried to push the rottweiler out the door. Onai grabbed Lin’s arm and started to run but Lin broke loose.\n\t“No. He want to talk? Then talk,” Lin said.\n\t“Lin go with Onai now!” Fang scowled.\n\t“No Fang. Let’s end this,” Lin stated.\n\n\tMr. Berglund pushed past Fang pushing him against the door. Vapor and Willow rushed just in time to see Lin swipe his feet and knock the rottweiler down to the ground.\n\t“I beat you. Go away,” Lin stated. The rottweiler grabbed him and stood back up. Lin balled up his fist and punched him in the face, bloodying his nose. He dropped Lin who quickly kicked him in the stomach and then pushed him towards the door then pushed him out of the door.\n\t“Stay fucking way. I break your neck next time,” Lin scowled and walked away. He looked up at Vapor and Willow who were both in shock and awe but also terrified at the sight. Not just them but everyone else. The rottweiler had interrupted dinner so everyone was around the entrance. Vapor snapped out of it and rushed off and grabbed the phone as the rottweiler started pounding on the door after Fang shut and locked it after he was pushed outside. The entire thing happened in less than one minute.\n\t“Yeah I need police assistance. We have a male rottweiler trying to break in. He’s already assaulted our 16 year old,” Vapor stated and then gave more details after being asked.\n\n\tThe cops arrived just a short time later and handcuffed the enraged and battered rottweiler. They learned about the incident at school then took statements from everyone and the footage of the incident from the camera’s in the house then hauled him away.\n\n\tEveryone finally calmed down as everyone was about to go back to their cold meal when Fang walked up to Lin.\n\n\t“[b]LIN! I TOLD YOU…”[/b] Fang started but stopped and took a breath. “Lin, I told you to leave with Onai and to go to the safe room. You didn’t. You got into another fight, this time for no reason,” Fang scolded Lin for the next few minutes.\n\t“I’m sorry Fang. I don’t want him hurt any of you, training kicked in,” Lin replied.\n\t“Lin you cannot get into fights here. They cause a lot of issues as you’ve found out two times. NO. MORE. FIGHTING! Do you understand me?” Fang scolded him again.\n\t“Yes,” Lin replied and lowered his head.\n\t“We have rules for a reason Lin. Look, I’m not going to punish you this time since you’re already under punishment. But if you fight again, you will not like your punishment. Do you understand?” Fang stated.\n\t“What punishment?” Lin asked.\n\t“No laptop. No computer. No communication with your family for two months. No hanging out with or getting help from Laika or any of the others for four months. You will get help from just me, Vapor or Willow. That also includes the summer break. Do you understand?” Fang stated. Lin’s eye’s widened and opened his mouth and stared at Fang for several moments.\n\t“Lin, answer me,” Fang said.\n\t“Yes sir,” Lin replied remorsefully as his ears folded flat against his head. His expression, emotion and reply took everyone by surprise.\n\t“Good,” Fang stated and kissed the top of Lin’s head. “You might not be my son but I’ve came to view you as one in just these short few months,” Fang added.\n\t“Thank you,” Lin replied with a smile.\n\t“Let’s get the food heated back up, I’m still hungry,” Fang stated and placed his paws on Lin’s shoulder. He walked him over to the table and sat him down. Lin looked down at the plate in front of him, his paws sat on his legs. Laika sat down next to him and placed her left paw on his right paw. He looked over at her, she gave him a smile. He returned a slight smile back to her then lowered his head back down and stared at his paws in his lap.", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "Chapter 3
Monday August 28, 2028

\t“T-thank you. I-I Lin. I’m from China and here for uh three year,” Lin said after his homeroom teacher introduced him to the class. A few classmates chuckled between themselves while he stood nervously up at the front
\t“Lin, you can take that seat on the third row near the back. If you need any help just ask,” his teacher stated.
\t“Shi, I mean yes. Okay,” he replied and then walked down the isle to his chair.

\tFour hours and three different classes later Lin was sitting at a table during lunch. Onai and Luna walked up and sat down opposite of him.
\t“How’s your first day of school going?” Onai asked.
\t“I don’t know. Some furs aren’t nice but I think it’s okay so far,” Lin explained.
\t“Aren’t nice? Who and what are they doing?” Luna asked looking around.
\t“Nothing. I handle it myself if I need to,” Lin replied.
\t“Don’t be stupid Lin. Don’t fight. Let a teacher or the principal know. We have zero tolerance for fighting here,” Onai replied.
\t“Okay,” Lin replied and smiled at them.
\t“How are you liking your classes?” Luna asked.
\t“They are okay. Much easy than China,” Lin replied then took a bit of the hamburger.
\t“You’ve had reading, math and science today so far right?” Luna asked.
\t“Shi,” Lin replied. They sat there eating and talking until the bell rung.

***

\t“Mom,” Pepper said as she and Shade walked into the kitchen.
\t“Yes sweetie?” Willow replied.
\t“We need to talk to you about something,” Pepper stated.
\t“Sure. What is it?” Willow asked walking into the dining room with a cup of coffee.

\tPepper and Shade followed Willow and sat down.

\t“It’s not easy to say, so I’ll just say it,” Pepper said then sighed. “We’re thinking about moving out,” Pepper stated.
\t“Oh?” Willow replied sitting her coffee down. “That’s a big step for you two. Where are you thinking about moving to?” Willow asked.
\t“We found a nice house but it’s kind of expensive. We’re not asking you to pay for it all though. We need help though. We don’t want you, Fang or Vapor to pay for it. We want to work for our house,” Pepper explained.
\t“That’s good you want to do it yourselves. Where is it and how much?” Willow asked.
\t“It’s at Laguna Beach in California,” Shade stated.
\t“It’s a house right on the beach,” Pepper said.
\t“Okay. Sounds like a nice location. Though it’s like twelve hundred miles away. Why there?” Willow asked.
\t“Well, we think that we would like to be on the beach. We want to learn to surf and scuba dive. Try something new and get away from the cold winters. And to be honest, we think it would be lovely to live on the beach,” Shade explained.
\t“And if you end up not liking it?” Willow asked.
\t“Rent the house out. An easy two to three thousand dollars a month,” Pepper replied.
\t“How much is this house?” Willow asked.
\t“Nine million,” Shade replied.
\t“Umm, WOW. What’s the square footage of this house?” Willow asked.
\t“Around fifteen hundred square feet,” Shade replied.
\t“That is a lot of money for a house of that size, Pepper, Shade. My house is over fifteen hundred square feet and it’s valued just under half a million,” Willow exclaimed.
\t“Maybe so, but this house is beach front property. In Laguna Beach. In California. The real estate there is expensive to begin with. Even a small one bedroom apartment a hundred miles inland would be over twelve hundred dollars a month,” Pepper explained.
\t“You need to look at this house in person before deciding this. I’ll say this now, I will not give you any money or co-sign for a house that you two or I haven’t seen in person. Understood?” Willow stated.
\t“It’s not the only reason why we’re moving Willow,” Shade said.
\t“Oh?” Willow replied looking up at them while sitting her coffee down.
\t“I was offered a job out there for drawing cartoons. I couldn’t pass up the eighty-thousand dollar a year job for the first year then doubles if they keep me. I just also couldn’t pass it up especially since it’s a passion of mine to draw. I know that we would make more here, but we’re not worried about rolling in millions a year,” he added.
\t“Congratulations Shade! I’m proud of you! I don’t expect you or anyone else to stick around just to work at Wolfe and Fox. It’s not the right job for everyone. Plus, it’s not my decision to make, it’s Vapor’s company. Well, you know, half of it, a third… something,” Willow replied and chuckled.
\t“So, a road trip then?” Shade asked.
\t“I guess so. I’ve always wanted to visit California. So I guess I’ll get to do it now,” Willow replied.
\t“You think Fang, Vapor and everyone else would want to come along?” Pepper asked.
\t“I’m sure they’ll want to,” Willow replied.
\t“We’ll talk to Fang and Vapor about it. We haven’t told anyone else,” Pepper said.
\t“Okay,” Willow replied.
\t“What about college?” Willow asked.
\t“We’ve looked into the universities there and all of our credits will transfer without issue. Once we’re finished with this semester we’re going to hold off until we get settled down in California,” Shade explained.
\t“Okay good. I’m glad that you two have done all of the proper research so far,” Willow replied.
\t“Thanks,” both replied then smiled.
\t“Have you two looked into a mortgage? How much will the monthly payment be?” Willow asked. Both Pepper and Shade looked at each other, almost scared to tell her.
\t“We’ll both have to work to pay everything. It’s a minimum of $4000 per month but could be up to $5,000 per month, then plus water, sewer, electric and anything else we’ll need. When we apply for the loan we’ll know for sure then,” Shade replied.
\t“So, you’re looking at maybe $5,000 to $6,000 per month. Is this right?” Willow asked.
\t“Yes,” Pepper replied almost defeated.
\t“Have you looked for a job out there yet Pepper?”
\t“Yes, but I don’t qualify for full-time job yet. I did speak to a few companies and they are willing to bring me on as an part-time employee while I finish my studies. I’ll just barely manage $500 per week working after I do my morning classes. I’ll be working 30 hours a week. Once Shade is at his job for a year, then we’ll be able to survive much easier,” Pepper explained.
\t“You two really need to sit down and really think about this. Missing a house payment and even multiple will destroy both of your credit line. If I co-sign, it could hurt mine as well. I will not allow that to happen to my credit. If you both decide to continue, I’m going to set a few rules and conditions for you both to follow. Okay?” Willow replied.
\t“Yes mom, that’s fine,” Pepper replied.
\t“Shade?” Willow spoke.
\t“Of course, that’s fine,” he replied.
\t“Okay then. Let me know. I’d like to see everything you have about this house,” Willow replied.
\t“We will, but it’ll be later today,” Shade replied.
\t“Shade and I are heading into town, we’ll be back later,” Pepper said.
\t“Okay be careful. Love you both,” Willow replied.
\t“Oh by the way, happy 38th birthday mom,” Pepper said.
\t“Happy birthday Willow,” Shade added.
\t“Thank you both,” Willow replied and smiled.
\t“Yup,” Pepper replied.
\t“Hey, pay attention in the school zones, school started today,” Willow reminded them.
\t“Will do. Bye Willow,” Shade said taking his keys from his pocket.

Friday December 8, 2028

\tIt was early December, Onai, Luna, Todd and Lin were sitting in the cafeteria eating lunch when Bruno, a rottweiler and the star quarterback of the twelfth grade football team, headed towards the table. Bruno rushed up and slammed Lin’s face down into his food. Most of the entire cafeteria burst out laughing. Onai, Todd and Luna sat there horrified but silent, their paws covering their muzzles. Lin lifted his head up and growled then wiped the food off his face. He slammed his paws on the table.
\t“Are you okay?” Onai and Luna both asked. He shook his head, stood up and faced Bruno.
\t“Aww, is the panda gonna cwy for his mommy in China?” Bruno said loudly causing another outburst of laughter. Lin’s paw tightened into a ball then loosened up again.
\t“Nah, I don’t need my mom to kick you ass,” Lin replied.
\t“HAHAHAHA. You? YOU are going to kick MY ass? You’re a scrawny pipsqueak loser that can barely speak English. Go back to your shit hole country and leave our great nation! We don’t need more third world shit-hole furs like you here,” Bruno said loudly and turned in a circle with his arms out. Once again the cafeteria burst out in laughter. Lin growled loudly and balled up his fist.
\t“LIN DON’T! He’s not worth it,” Luna shouted. It was too late, Lin spun around on his left hindpaw and round house kicked Bruno in the side of his chest, sending him towards the stage, causing a cracking sound. Lin rushed up and grabbed Bruno’s head and slammed his face into the stage floor four times quickly. He then pulled Bruno back towards the cafeteria and took a fighting stance. The cafeteria oohed then went silent. Both of Lin’s balled up paws out in front of him. Bruno stood over a foot taller and had much more muscle than Lin. Bruno cupped his nose and felt the blood running out, he looked up at Lin and growled then rushed towards him. He swung a punch but Lin stepped to the side and sent his own paw into Bruno’s stomach. Bruno collapsed to the ground smashing his face into the ground. Lin squatted down pushed Bruno onto his back, then punched him in the ribs six times in quick succession and another punch to the face. He started to punch again but stopped as Bruno started crying at this point. Lin moved back to the table picked up his food tray and then dumped it on Bruno’s bloodied face. Bruno’s nose was broken and badly bleeding and had already started staining his jersey and pooling on the floor underneath him.
\tLin squatted down and whispered something into Bruno’s ear. Bruno laid on the floor his eyes widened as Lin said whatever he did. With a final hard kick to his ribs, another loud crack echoed through the silent cafeteria. He turned back to Onai, Todd and Luna. Everyone sat shocked and in awe. The entire cafeteria was silent for the less than thirty second fight.
\t“Fucking hell Lin! What the hell have you done?!” Luna shouted after snapping out of it. Her, Todd and Onai jumped up, grabbed their bags and Lin’s bag. Luna started running and grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the cafeteria towards the office.
\t“Let go me!” Lin scowled.
\t“No. We need to get to the office now before you get into trouble,” Onai scowled. Both Todd and Onai grabbed his arms and pulled him away. They rushed into the office as the news of it broke over the radio.
\t“We need to talk to Mr. Rosco now!” Onai said frantically to the office secretary.
\t“Yeah, I think you all really do need to. Sit! All four of you,” she replied.

\tLin sat in the chair, who was now shaking after the entire ordeal. After twenty minutes Mr. Rosco walked in and looked down at the four cubs.
\t“My office. All of you. Now,” Rosco said and pointed.

\tLin sat directly in front of Rosco, he was shaking heavily now.

\t“I just finished watching the security cameras of the fight. Lin, you should not have retaliated,” Rosco stated.
\t“I taught to defend self. I did right thing,” Lin replied.
\t“Not here. We have zero tolerance for fighting,” Rosco stated.
\t“PUNRISH HIM NOT ME! He start it all the rime,” Lin scowled.
\t“Do not raise your voice at me, Lin, please,” Rosco stated and looked over at the other three.
\t“Onai, Luna and Todd, go back to your classes, you can get an excuse note from Mrs. Hinton,” he said.
\t“What about Lin? What’s going to happen?” Onai asked.
\t“I’m calling your mom and dad. We’ll settle it after they get here. Go on, go to class, before I find a reason for you three to be punished as well,” Rosco stated and pointed towards the door.
\t“Yes sir. Take it easy on him please, he doesn’t understand everything just yet,” Luna replied.
\t“I know Ms. Wolfe. Now go,” Rosco stated.

\tAn hour later Fang walked into the office and shook paws with Rosco. He looked down at Lin. He was silent with tears dripping to his pants.
\t“Jeez Lin. Are you okay?” Fang asked squatting down. Lin nodded his head.
\t“What’s going on Mr. Rosco?” Fang asked.
\t“I’m sorry that I had to ask for you here, but Lin was in a fight. Beat the other student pretty badly,” Rosco explained.
\t“What the fuck Lin?” Fang scowled.
\t“Fang, you’re in a school. Language please,” Rosco scowled.
\t“Yes, I’m sorry Mr. Rosco. Lin, what happened?” Fang asked and took a seat.
\t“Bluno came up pushed face food. I defend myself,” Lin replied.
\t“You can watch it for yourself, Mr. Wolfe,” Rosco said. He turned the TV on and pressed play on the security footage.
\t“Wow. That was only 25 seconds and you did that much to him?” Fang stated.
\t“Mr. Wolfe this isn’t a good matter. Lin is in serious trouble here. He broke Mr. Berglund’s nose and possibly multiple ribs,” Rosco explained.
\t“I know that… It clearly shows that Bruno started it, but you are correct. Lin shouldn’t have fought back. So what’s going to happen?” Fang replied and asked.
\t“I don’t want to expel him. That would end him being an exchange student and he would have to go back to China. I’m going to place him in in-school-suspension until the winter break starts in about two weeks,” Rosco explained.
\t“I no go want back China,” Lin said looking up.
\t“Lin, say that correctly,” Fang said looking at him.
\t“Uh, I don’t want to go back to China,” Lin replied slowly.
\t“You’re not going to be sent back,” Rosco stated.
\t“You’re getting off with a pretty light punishment at school Lin. I would have been expelled if I was in a fight that didn’t almost kill me,” Fang said and crossed his arms and looked at Rosco.
\t“I assure you this light punishment is not because of your funding. It’s because Lin is new here and new to America. He doesn’t know all the rules, but he will,” Rosco explained.
\t“What is expel?” Lin asked.
\t“You would be banned from school for a certain length of time, usually the rest of the school year,” Fang explained.
\t“Oh. That not good,” Lin replied.
\t“No it’s not,” Fang replied.
\t“Look Mr. Wolfe, we can’t have him here for the rest of the day. I don’t want to risk retaliation by any of the other students, especially the football players. He has to go home for the day,” Rosco explained.
\t“Fair enough. I want a copy of that fight video. Can you email it to be while we’re still here please?” Fang asked.
\t“Yes, give me a moment. I need you to read and sign these papers. Both of you have to sign them. Basically it states that Lin was punished for fighting and that you both understand the gravity of the situation,” Rosco stated.

\tFang took the papers and read them. After a few minutes he signed and handed them to Lin. He stepped Lin through and explained various things and then had him sign them.

\t“Lin, you’re getting off lightly here. Do not get into another fight or I will have no other choice but to expel you. That will end your Exchange Student Visa and you will be sent back to China. Do you understood?” Rosco stated.
\t“Shi, I mean yes. Thank you,” Lin replied.
\t“Is that all Mr. Rosco?” Fang asked.
\t“No. Lin, first thing Monday, I want you back in this office, understood?” Rosco replied.
\t“Okay,” Lin replied and bowed.
\t“Principal Rosco, remind me. Why are eighth grade students doing in the high school this year,” Fang asked.
\t“We brought that up in the meeting Mr. Wolfe. Plus there was the notices sent home and the multiple news reports about the fire. The middle school was heavily damaged with the fire and water at the start of July. Fifth to seventh grades have been moved between the elementary school and temporary out buildings,” Rosco explained.
\t“Ah yes that’s right. I’m sorry, I completely forgot about that. How’s it working out with eighth grade mixing in with high schooler’s?” Fang asked.
\t“Working pretty well so far with no serious issues,” Rosco replied.
\t“Good to hear. Will eighth grade remain in the high school or will they move back to the middle school after it’s rebuilt?” Fang asked.
\t“We’re not sure yet. Most likely they’ll move back. But if everything works out well with no serious issues, we might keep it this way,” Rosco replied.
\t“Okay. Onai, Luna and Todd seems to enjoy it here, so I was just curious. I’m going to push for eighth grade to remain in the high school, at the next meeting,” Fang replied.
\t“If you want to, go ahead. I can’t stop you,” Rosco replied.
\t“Thank you. Have a good day Mr. Rosco,” Fang replied.
\t“You too Mr. Wolfe,” Rosco replied.
\t“Come on Lin,” Fang said and headed out the door. Lin looked at Rosco for a few seconds, “I’m sorry,” he said then grabbed his bag and rushed out of the room.

***

\tBack at home Fang and Lin walked into the house. Willow and Pepper sat at the dining room table talking. They looked up to see them walk in.

\t“What happened Fang?” Willow asked.
\t“Lin go to your room now. I’ll be up later,” Fang stated with his arms crossed.

\tThey watched as Lin walked slowly to the stairs not saying anything while his head was hung low. Fang sat down and rubbed his temples.
\t“Lin, uh… he got into a fight. Beat the crap out of Bruno Berglund,” Fang replied.
\t“Oh no. He got expelled?” Willow asked.
\t“No, not expelled. Rosco sent him home for today but Monday he starts in-school-suspension until winter break starts,” Fang explained.
\t“How do I know the name Berglund?” Pepper asked.
\t“He’s the star quarterback of the school for twelfth grade,” Fang replied rolling his eyes.
\t“And Lin kicked his ass?” Pepper exclaimed causing Fang to let out a short chuckle.
\t“I shouldn’t be laughing about this,” Fang replied. He pulled out his phone and pulled up the video and handed it to them.
\t“OH WOW!!!” Pepper exclaimed.
\t“How? What? That’s really Lin?” Willow asked.
\t“Yup. Just a kick, four head slams and a series of punches and Bruno was done, crying like a baby,” Fang replied.
\t“But his movements are so fast. How?” Willow replied.
\t“I don’t know,” Fang replied shrugging his shoulders.
\t“What’s his punishment going to be here?” Willow replied.
\t“I don’t know if we even can. I mean, he does everything that we have asked him to help with. Doesn’t make a fuss about anything. Helps out with everything. I don’t know if he’s really able to be punished. I think I’m just going to talk to him about his actions,” Fang explained.
\t“Yeah, you’re right about that,” Willow replied.
\t“So have you talked to Bruno’s parents?” Pepper asked.
\t“Nope. Didn’t see them. Rosco didn’t bring anything up about them. He made it sound like as if Bruno was a bully, so I don’t know,” Fang replied.
\t“Zero tolerance for defending yourself but all the tolerance for bullies,” Willow replied shaking her head.
\t“It’ll never change. Anyway, I’m going to go speak with Lin. He’s pretty upset about the whole ordeal. He could barely speak English while in the office and on the way home,” Fang replied and then headed upstairs.

\tFang walked into the open bedroom door and saw Lin sitting up straight in the desk chair. He looked up at Fang and gave a slight smile but then frowned again.

\t“You okay Lin?” Fang asked as he walked into the room.
\t“I guess,” Lin replied.
\t“You understand why you’re in trouble right?” Fang asked as he sat down on the bed.
\t“Yes Fang. I fight and that bad,” Lin replied.
\t“I don’t mind that you defended yourself. I’m happy that you did, but sadly the school system rules suck big time. But like Mr. Rosco said you’re getting off pretty easy,” Fang stated.
\t“I know,” Lin replied.
\t“I don’t know how to punish you Lin. You do work around here without fussing. You seem to enjoy working. So I’m kind of at a loss on what to do. What do you think you’re punishment should be?” Fang asked.
\tLin looked at up him and cocked his head.
\t“I work in the mines if I have to. I understand what I did was bad,” Lin replied and shuffled his paws in his lap.
\t“Work in the mines?” Fang asked quite very confused.
\t“In China if we do rearry bad things we forced to work in mines. Dig out iron, copper and other things,” Lin explained.
\t“Oh. Lin, we don’t do that here. It’s illegal to send cubs to work like that,” Fang explained.
\t“That good. I don’t know Fang. I do anything you want me too,” Lin replied.
\t“That’s my issue Lin. You enjoy helping with everything and you don’t fuss about it,” Fang replied and laughed. Fang wiped the tears from Lin’s eyes and smiled at him.
\t“Fang… You not going to send me back to China are you?” Lin looked up as tears started welling in his eyes. Fang’s heart skipped a beat from Lin’s emotions and expressions.
\t“No Lin, I’m not. I couldn’t, we like you far too much to do that,” Fang replied.
\t“Thank you,” Lin replied and smiled. A ding sounded from his laptop, he lifted the lid open and moved his finger over the mouse track pad. He had a few emails onscreen.
\t“Email from luánshēng jiěmèi … uh sorry, email from twin sister,” Lin replied.
\t“What does she say?” Fang asked.
\t“Umm, very disappointed because I fight and in trouble,” Lin replied.
\t“Ouch,” is all that Fang could say. He rubbed Lin’s head for reassurance.
\t“I think I know of a punishment. Let your sister know that you won’t be able to talk to her for the weekend and all of next week,” Fang stated.
\t“What?” Lin asked looking back.
\t“Go on, type it up,” Fang replied. He watched as Lin quickly typed garbled looking characters onto the screen. After just a couple of minutes he sent the email and turned back to Fang.
\t“Okay finished,” Lin replied. They waited a bit until Lin received a reply back.
\t“Shut the laptop down completely,” Fang stated. Lin did as told. After he shut the lid he watched as Fang picked up his laptop and the two desktop keyboards and mouse.
\t“You’re punishment is no computers for the entire weekend and next week, meaning no chatting with your sister. I want you studying and working on your English and other classwork. Okay?” Fang explained.
\t“Yes,” Lin replied.
\t“Also, I am … you can’t hang out with Laika. I’m banning her from helping you this weekend,” Fang said and exhaled.
\t“Fang, no. Please no. I rearry like Laika, she help me lots. Anything else,” Lin said jumping out of the chair.
\t“Lin. It’s only for the weekend,” Fang replied.
\t“Fang… No please. Anything-” Lin looked up at him with remorse in his eyes.
\t“Lin, this is your punishment. You knew what our rules were. You broke them. Number one is no fighting. I don’t have any other way to punish you,” Fang replied.
\t“I … I understand,” Lin replied and sat back down on the chair. His body slid a little bit, only being stopped by his hindpaw heels digging into the carpet. It was the first time ever that Lin wasn’t sitting straight in a chair without Fang or Vapor repositioning him.
\t“If you need help with your English studies feel free to ask Willow, Vapor or me, okay? You’re not to ask Laika, Luna, Onai, Todd or any one else,” Fang stated.
\t“Yes,” Lin replied and stared down at the carpet. Fang walked out of the room and down the stairs. Willow and Pepper was still sitting at the table when he sat the laptop and other stuff down onto the table.

\t“Fang, you didn’t take all that from him did you?” Willow asked.
\t“Yes for the weekend and next week. Plus he’s not allowed to hang out with Laika this weekend or get help from her or anyone other than mom, Vapor or me,” Fang replied.
\t“FANG! That is just… that’s a harsh punishment,” Willow replied.
\t“And tell me, mom, how would you punish him for fighting in school? He does everything he’s told without question or fuss,” Fang replied.
\t“Dammit Fang, sure take the laptop and computer, but to tell him he can’t hangout with someone?” Pepper replied.
\tFang chuckled at the two of them. Both narrowed their eyes at him.
\t“Easy you two. Don’t you remember that Laika is going over to that sleepover this weekend? I don’t think that Lin knows that yet,” Fang replied.
\t“You’re still an asshole Fang!” Pepper replied.
\t“How? She wasn’t going to be here anyway. So it’s technically not really a punishment,” Fang asked.
\t“Because you’ve made him think that he can’t be around her. What if he thinks he can’t be around her for the entirety of his stay here?” Pepper asked.
\t“Because I told him it’s only for the weekend. Now lets drop this please. It really hurt me telling him that and taking his laptop. Drop it,” Fang replied.
\t“Fine but you’re still mean brother,” Pepper replied.
\t“Love you too little sis,” Fang replied and kissed her head.

Monday December 11, 2028

\tLin walked into the schools office Monday morning, Mrs. Hinton asked him to sit down and wait. He watched as various students walked in, handed off papers, take papers and be told stuff and then left. About fifteen minutes later Bruno walked in followed by his dad. Mrs. Hinton asked them to sit down as well. Bruno looked over at Lin and narrowed his eyes at Lin. Another ten minutes passed and the bell rung. Mr. Rosco walked into the office and called all four to his office.
\t“It’s clear that Bruno started the fight, but for him to break my son’s nose and five of his ribs? That’s uncalled for,” Bruno’s father stated.
\t“Maybe not let son do bad things he do?” Lin said as he sat straight in his chair.
\t“Shut up you chink freak fuck,” Bruno’s dad scowled.
\t“Mr. Berglund do NOT use racial slurs in my school. I’m sorry but I am expelling your son from school. He’s also banned from playing football for the remainder of his time at this school,” Mr. Rosco stated.
\t“That is bullshit! What the fuck is going to happen to HIM?!” Mr. Berglund scowled.
\t“Stop using profane words, you’re in a school. He’s an exchange student and doesn’t understand all of the rules, but once he’s done with his punishment he will know them all and fully understand them,” Mr. Rosco explained.
\t“Oh, so my son gets expelled for just pushing his face into food, but he fights and beats my son and gets off scotch free?” Mr. Berglund replied.
\t“Look Mr. Berglund, your son started it. You’ve already agreed to that. Bruno has been caught multiple times in the past bullying others. He’s been warned multiple times. Both of them are facing their punishments. Now please go,” Mr. Rosco.
\t“I bet it has to do with the Wolfe family and their funding of this district doesn’t it?” Mr. Berglund scowled.
\t“It has nothing to do with them or the funding. Lin is a new student from overseas. He does not fully understand every rule. He will though after his punishment, as I’ve stated already. Now please leave or I’ll have to call for security,” Mr. Rosco stated.

\tThe two of them stood up and left the room with Mr. Berglund cursing at the two. Mr. Rosco exhaled and rubbed his head. He looked over at Lin who was still sitting up straight.

\t“Lin, you sitting so still and upright like that, does it ever start hurting?” Mr. Rosco asked.
\t“Sometimes but I used to pain,” Lin replied.
\t“Interesting. Anyway, today you start your in-school-suspension. Do you understand what that is?” Rosco asked.
\t“Yes, I in a classroom. I study, do work, eat in the room. I only leave for restroom at certain time and day end,” Lin explained.
\t“Good. Come on, I’ll walk you to the room,” Rosco stated.

\tRosco and Lin stepped into the room. Rosco walked up to the desk with a teacher and handed her a folder. They talked for a few minutes while Lin stood there. He looked around, just moving his eyes. The room had twenty desks, eight of them filled with other students. They were looking down at books and writing on sheets of paper. The walls were the same boring white like all the other classrooms. There were various posters taped to the walls. On one side of the room was a table with three computers, the monitors were turned off, but the computer fans could be heard spinning, just barely audible. Behind the teachers desk was a large dry erase board, just like in every other classroom.

\tAfter a moment Rosco walked up to Lin and nodded.
\t“Listen to the teacher. Raise your paw if you need to speak. And do not get into a fight,” he said.
\t“Okay,” Lin replied.

\tRosco left the room as the teacher called out to Lin. He stepped up to the desk. The teacher proceeded to explain the rules and how things work for in-school-suspension, ISS. After explaining the rules, the teacher told him to take a seat. He sat there for about fifteen minutes, until the door opened up. Another teacher walked in and up to the desk. The ISS teacher pointed to Lin. The other teacher walked up and sat a dozen books on his desk then left.
\t“Lin, start with math. Page 102. Read the chapter and do ALL of the questions and problems at the end of the chapter. Raise your paw if you need help or when you finish,” the teacher said. Lin nodded and moved all books off the desk except for math. He opened it and started reading.

\tAt the end of the day Lin walked out of the classroom and exhaled. He looked down the hallway and saw Onai, Luna and Todd waiting for him. He smiled as he walked up to them but quickly frowned.

\t“How is ISS?” Onai asked.
\t“Uh, boring,” Lin replied bluntly.
\t“Better than the alternative though,” Luna replied. The three of them started walking out to their school bus.
\t“Yeah. I be on plane right now,” Lin replied and exhaled.

\tFinally back at home Lin waited in the library, reading books, while Laika was at cheerleading practice. After a couple of hours Pepper and Laika finally walked into the house.

\t“Raika! I sorry that I stay away from you this weekend,” Lin said as they stood at the stairs opening on the second floor after school on Monday.
\t“What do you mean?” Laika asked.
\t“Fang tell me as punishment I can not hang out with you. I was sad all weekend,” Lin explained.
\t“Lin, I wasn't home. I was at a friends house all weekend, Silly Panda!” Laika replied and chuckled.
\t“What? But Fang say…” he started but was cut off by Laika.
\t“I think he was being nice to you. He knew I wasn’t going to be here, so he told you that,” Laika said to him.
\t“So… Fang not mad at me?” Lin asked.
\t“Well, I mean he is mad at you because of the fight. But I guess he thought it would be a clever punishment,” Laika explained.
\t“Oh. Okay,” Lin replied still confused.
\t“Look, don’t worry about it anymore. It's in the past now,” Laika replied and kissed his cheek, causing him to blush.
\t“Thank you for worrying about me Lin,” Laika said and smiled.
\t“Well, I still fee…” Lin started but Laika put her finger to his muzzle.
\t“Shush. It’s okay. Don’t think about it. Come on I’ll help you with your homework,” Laika said and took his paw and lead him to his bedroom.

\tNearly two hours after everyone arrived back home Fang opened the door after hearing the doorbell. At the door stood a rottweiler.
\t“Where’s the little chink bastard that got my son expelled?” The rottweiler scowled. Lin walked out of the dining room along with Onai, Luna and a few others.
\t“Who are you and why are you at my house?” Fang asked holding the rottweiler back.
\t“That bastard got my son expelled from school. I’m going to beat your fucking face in you Chinese fuck!” He scowled.
\t“Kids you know where to go, go now!” Fang said and tried to push the rottweiler out the door. Onai grabbed Lin’s arm and started to run but Lin broke loose.
\t“No. He want to talk? Then talk,” Lin said.
\t“Lin go with Onai now!” Fang scowled.
\t“No Fang. Let’s end this,” Lin stated.

\tMr. Berglund pushed past Fang pushing him against the door. Vapor and Willow rushed just in time to see Lin swipe his feet and knock the rottweiler down to the ground.
\t“I beat you. Go away,” Lin stated. The rottweiler grabbed him and stood back up. Lin balled up his fist and punched him in the face, bloodying his nose. He dropped Lin who quickly kicked him in the stomach and then pushed him towards the door then pushed him out of the door.
\t“Stay fucking way. I break your neck next time,” Lin scowled and walked away. He looked up at Vapor and Willow who were both in shock and awe but also terrified at the sight. Not just them but everyone else. The rottweiler had interrupted dinner so everyone was around the entrance. Vapor snapped out of it and rushed off and grabbed the phone as the rottweiler started pounding on the door after Fang shut and locked it after he was pushed outside. The entire thing happened in less than one minute.
\t“Yeah I need police assistance. We have a male rottweiler trying to break in. He’s already assaulted our 16 year old,” Vapor stated and then gave more details after being asked.

\tThe cops arrived just a short time later and handcuffed the enraged and battered rottweiler. They learned about the incident at school then took statements from everyone and the footage of the incident from the camera’s in the house then hauled him away.

\tEveryone finally calmed down as everyone was about to go back to their cold meal when Fang walked up to Lin.

\t“LIN! I TOLD YOU…” Fang started but stopped and took a breath. “Lin, I told you to leave with Onai and to go to the safe room. You didn’t. You got into another fight, this time for no reason,” Fang scolded Lin for the next few minutes.
\t“I’m sorry Fang. I don’t want him hurt any of you, training kicked in,” Lin replied.
\t“Lin you cannot get into fights here. They cause a lot of issues as you’ve found out two times. NO. MORE. FIGHTING! Do you understand me?” Fang scolded him again.
\t“Yes,” Lin replied and lowered his head.
\t“We have rules for a reason Lin. Look, I’m not going to punish you this time since you’re already under punishment. But if you fight again, you will not like your punishment. Do you understand?” Fang stated.
\t“What punishment?” Lin asked.
\t“No laptop. No computer. No communication with your family for two months. No hanging out with or getting help from Laika or any of the others for four months. You will get help from just me, Vapor or Willow. That also includes the summer break. Do you understand?” Fang stated. Lin’s eye’s widened and opened his mouth and stared at Fang for several moments.
\t“Lin, answer me,” Fang said.
\t“Yes sir,” Lin replied remorsefully as his ears folded flat against his head. His expression, emotion and reply took everyone by surprise.
\t“Good,” Fang stated and kissed the top of Lin’s head. “You might not be my son but I’ve came to view you as one in just these short few months,” Fang added.
\t“Thank you,” Lin replied with a smile.
\t“Let’s get the food heated back up, I’m still hungry,” Fang stated and placed his paws on Lin’s shoulder. He walked him over to the table and sat him down. Lin looked down at the plate in front of him, his paws sat on his legs. Laika sat down next to him and placed her left paw on his right paw. He looked over at her, she gave him a smile. He returned a slight smile back to her then lowered his head back down and stared at his paws in his lap.", "pools_count": 1, "title": "Exchange Student - Chapter 3", "deleted": "f", "public": "t", "mimetype": "application/msword", "pagecount": "1", "rating_id": "2", "rating_name": "Adult", "ratings": [ { "content_tag_id": "4", "name": "Sexual Themes", "description": "Erotic imagery, sexual activity or arousal", "rating_id": "2" }, { "content_tag_id": "5", "name": "Strong Violence", "description": "Strong violence, blood, serious injury or death", "rating_id": "2" } ], "submission_type_id": "12", "type_name": "Writing - Document", "guest_block": "t", "friends_only": "f", "comments_count": "19", "views": "456" }
