During Carmens VILE Years
“ Carmen omg i just realized the like craziest thing,” Player texted Carmen.
Carmen instantly texted him back, “ what thing?”
“So you know how you like live where u live, ” Player started.
Carmen texted back confused, “ yeah…”
“ And how u go to school there too, ” he continued.
Carmen started to maybe see where this was going, “ yeah? what about it?”
“ Weeeeelllllll, that means u are homeschooled!!!” Player finished.
Carmen realized what this was about instantly, “ omg, homeschool buddies!!!”
“ Homeschool buddies!!!!” Player continued.
Many, many, many years later after the defeat of VILE and when the entirety of Team Red reunites at Carmen Outerwear Wearhouse.
“Hey Player,” Carmen started with a smirk on her face, “my dearest……. HOMESCHOOL BUDDY!!!”
“OMG!!! HOMESCHOOL BUDDY!!!” Player yelled as he jumped up to high five Carmen.
“WHAT’S A HOMESCHOOL BUDDY???” Zack yelled, joining in.
“Me and Player decided we were homeschool buddies during my VILE years,” Carmen started to explain.
“Since we both were educated at our homes, it just made sense for us to become …. HOMESCHOOL BUDDIES!!!” Player continued.
“I want to join the HOMESCHOOL BUDDIES!!!” Ivy exclaimed.
“ME TOO,” Zack exclaimed.
“Okay,” Player started, “Step one to become a homeschool buddy: be homeschooled. Step two, be our buddy. You’ve already completed step two, so all you need to do is be homeschooled.”
“But how can we do that?” Ivy questioned.
“Simple, this is our home, so you two simply must be schooled.”
