It was a bright and sunny day. T.J Detweiler was walking to school, gripping his backpack tightly. He sniffed the air

"Ah, the smell of a new day! Can't wait to do pranks on Principal Prickly," T.J snickered to himself. Principal Prickly was the principal of Third Street Elementary School

As T.J got to the entrance of the school's gate. Spinelli ran over to him. "Teej! There you are! What took you so long?" She asked, crossing her arms

T.J rubbed his neck and looked embarrassed. "Sorry, Spinelli. I wanted to walk to school," T.J explained

Spinelli sighed and shook her head. "Anyway, we were waiting for you," She explained. T.J raised an eyebrow. "For what?"

"We have to meet in the auditorium," Spinelli explained. "I don't know why, but, that's what Miss Finster told us,"

T.J nodded and followed Spinelli inside the school. Students and staff members were heading into the auditorium. They all sat down. T.J took a seat next to Vince, Mikey, Spinelli, Gus, and Gretchen

Miss Finster was on the stage, tapping on the microphone. "Is this thing even on?" She muttered, tapping the mic once more.

The mic made an echo on the speakers, meaning that it was on. She smiled. "Greetings everyone. I know today is a strange day, but, Principal Prickly has something serious to say,"

T.J got nervous. Did he do something wrong? Vince noticed and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Chill, Teej. It's not you," He said, calmly

T.J looked at Vince. "You sure, because Miss Finster said it was..." "I'm sure it's not something that you did. Maybe it's something else," Vince informed, interrupting T.J

T.J relaxed a little, but not fully. "Thanks, Vince," "Anytime, Teej," Vince smiled, removing his hand from T.J's shoulder. He turned his attention to the stage

T.J did the same thing. Principal Prickly walked over to the mic and picked it up as Miss Finster moved out of the way.

"Hello, everyone," Prickly waved. "Morning, Principal Prickly," Everyone in the audience shouted. Prickly winced a bit and put a finger in his ear

"Jeez, kids! Are you trying to make me deaf?!" Prickly snapped, glaring at the audience. Everyone started to laugh. T.J snickered a bit

Prickly rolled his eyes and pulled his finger out of his ear. "Anyway, I got something to say," He said. "And no, you didn't do anything, Detweiler,"

T.J sighed in relief as everyone chuckled and took a quick glance at Detweiler before turning their attention to Prickly

Prickly sighed and took some deep breaths in and out. He then held the mic close to him

"Kids, I'm retiring from being principal at Third Street Elementary School,"

Everyone's eyes widened in horror. They all started whispering to each other. T.J was mortified. "This can't be happening," Gus gasped, with worry in his voice

"It's happening," Gretchen fixed her glasses. T.J raised his hand. "This has to be a joke, right?" T.J asked

"I'm sorry, Detweiler, this isn't a joke. I'm retiring from Third Street Elementary," Prickly explained, with hurt in his voice

T.J felt his throat was getting tight. Why did Prickly have to leave? Did something happen? All of the thoughts were circling in his head. 

"Anyway, I want you to meet the new principal of the school. Meet Luna Benedict," Prickly moved out of the way

A woman in her 20s came close to the mic. She had gray hair and it was styled into a side fridge. The back of her hair was braided. Her skin was white as snow. Her eyes were purple. She had purple lipstick, purple eyeshadow, and amethyst earrings. She wore a purple shirt, a purple jacket with a purple scarf, purple jeans, and purple boots

The boys stared at her, jaws dropped. The girls started whispering about how pretty she looked. "Oh, my god! She's so pretty!" Ashely B cried

"I know right! I wonder how she gets those outfits," Ashely T recalled. Luna giggled and waved at everyone. T.J looked at her

'Benedict? That name sounds familiar to me' T.J thought to himself. "Hi, everyone! I'm Luna Benedict and I'll be your new principal for the rest of the school year!" She cried

Everyone clapped with joy. Luna giggled a bit, smiling. T.J noticed that her eyes glowed purple. 'That's odd. Why are her eyes glowing?' 

"That's it for all. I hope I get to see you all outside of school," Prickly waved. He then walked down the stairs and exit the auditorium. 

Luna then looked at everyone. "Alright, everyone, please go to our first-period class and if you need me, I'll be in my office," Luna explained. "Dismissed!" 

Everyone got up from their seats and started walking back to their classes. T.J and his gang did the same thing and headed to Miss Finster's class

"Guys, I'm starting to have bad feelings about the new principal," T.J whispered. Vince looked at T.J, eyes widened

"Are you crazy, Teej?! Already having bad vibes about her?" Vince asked, with disbelief in his tone. "What are you talking about, man?" 

"Prickly said that her last name was Benedict!" T.J cried. "I know someone that has that last name!" 

"Teej quit worrying about it!" Spinelli snapped. "Besides, she seems nice," "I have to agree, Spinelli," Mikey replied with a smile on his face

"And I saw that her eyes were glowing purple!" T.J warned. "Eyes glowing purple? I think you're seeing things," Spinelli scoffed

"But, you got to believe me!" T.J cried. Gretchen looked at T.J and sighed. "Teej, just give it up. You'll get used to her, I promise," She said, calmly

T.J was about to say something but kept his mouth shut. He sighed and continued to follow his friends. Meanwhile, Luna was still on the stage, giggling evilly

"I got what my father wanted. Being the principal of Third Street Elementary School, but him canceling Recess has gone way too far!" Luna cried

She sighed and shook her head. "Father, why did you try to destroy summer? You're crazier than I thought when you raised me," 

Luna then walked down the stairs and then started heading to her office. Her eyes glowed purple as she giggled evilly once more

The first period started as everyone was in Miss Finster's class. T.J sighed and started drumming his fingers on his desk, bored as hell

"Man, why did Prickly have to retire? Did something happen?" T.J asked himself. "Was it me? Of course, it had to be me," 

Vince noticed that T.J was feeling down. "Teej?" Vince asked. T.J looked at Vince, almost bursting into tears. Vince's eyes went wide. 

"Teej? Are you okay?"

T.J shook his head as tears streamed down his cheeks. "I-I'm fine," He sniffed, wiping tears away from the back of his hand

"You're not okay, Teej. You need someone to talk to," Vince whispered to his friend. "Who am I gonna talk to, Vince?! The new principal?!" T.J snapped

Everyone in the classroom looked at T.J, surprised. Miss Finster shook her head. "Detweiler, please go to the principal's office," She snarled

T.J's eyes went wide as he got off his desk and walked out of the classroom. He placed his hands into his pocket and muttered something under his breath

He made it to the principal's office. He looked up to see that the sign said "Miss Benedict" on it. T.J opened the door as his jaw dropped to the floor

A/N: The picture is not mine, this is what Luna's office looks like

"Woah! Now, this is cool!" T.J cried, looking around a bit. Luna turned her chair and saw T.J coming in. "Hello there, sweetheart!" She waved. "What brings you here?"

"Miss Finster brought me here because I interrupted class," T.J informed, sitting down in one of the chairs

Luna frowned a bit, leaning back on her chair. "That's a shame. What made you interrupt class?" She asked, looking at the kid

"Well, I started feeling upset about something," T.J expressed, rubbing his shoulder a bit. Luna looked at him a bit. "About what?"

"About getting a new principal, you know," T.J explained. Luna looked at him, sadly. "I know how much you miss Peter, but, he's going to the middle school to go there," She explained

T.J looked at her, surprised. "He's going to the middle school?" He asked. "That's what he said," Luna informed. "Besides, he was trying to think of ways to make you guys not..."

"Upset? Yeah, go figure," T.J sarcastically commented, interrupting Luna. Luna blinked a bit, "What makes you say that?" She asked

"There was this man named Mr. Slicer that was said to be the meanest and strictest of all time," T.J explained

"He was that mean and strict?" Luna asked, never heard of a man that was that evil. "When was this?"

"It was a time that Prickly got promoted to go to the middle school," T.J explained. "And he left?" Luna asked

T.J nodded his head. "But, he did come back when he realized that he wanted to be here," He explained. "But, this time..."

"It's permanent," Luna muttered, interrupting T.J. T.J looked at the floor, losing eye contact with Luna. She felt how heartbroken the boy was. She also sees the tears streaming down his cheeks

"Sweetie, I know devastated you are, losing someone that you trusted has gone to the wind, but, unfortunately, this is life," Luna explained

T.J wiped the tears from his face. He looked at Luna. "Yeah, and life sucks," T.J muttered. "I have to agree with you," She then looked at T.J. "What's your name?"

T.J's eyes went wide as he blushed with embarrassment. "I'm deeply sorry, ma'am! My name is Theodore Jasper Detweiler, but, I go by T.J or Detweiler," T.J introduced

"Pleasure to meet you, T.J. You already know me. I'm Luna Benedict, but, I go by Miss Benedict," Luna introduced herself. 

T.J smiled. 'She doesn't seem too bad, but, I don't fully trust her' He thought to himself. "Anyway, I'll send you back to class. It was nice to meet you, Detweiler. I hope you feel better, hon. If you need to talk to me, come right into my office, okay?" Luna gave the boy a smile

"Alright, ma'am, and thank you for the talk," T.J replied, getting out of the chair. "Oh, anytime," Luna smiled

T.J walked out of the office and started walking back to his classroom. 'When I went into Prickly's old office, it was looked... Wizardly. How in the world did she change her office so quickly?' T.J asked himself

T.J just shook his head and sighed. He made it into Miss Finster's classroom and sat down in his desk. 

"How did it go?" Vince asked, looking at T.J. "It went good, but, I went into Prickly's old office, the office looked different," T.J explained

"Different? How?" Vince asked, raising an eyebrow. "The office looked... Wizardly" T.J informed. "How did Miss Benedict change the office so quickly?" Vince asked

"That's what I'm been asking myself, Vince!" T.J cried. "I don't know how she changed her office that quickly, but..."

"Detweiler! Vince! Pay attention!" Miss Finster snapped, interrupting T.J. The boys looked at each other, then back at the teacher

Luna was in her office when her phone rang. She picked it up. "So, how did the interview go?" The voice asked on the other line

"It went well, father. I got the job," Luna explained. The person smirked evilly. "Very well, Luna. Now, you're the principal of Third Street Elementary School. What are you gonna do?" The person asked

"I'm gonna try to make everyone have fun as possible," Luna explained. There was a long pause, until...

"You're joking, right?"

"Why the hell would I be joking, dad?" Luna asked. "Of course, I'm not joking! I'm trying to make everyone have fun as possible!" 

The person sighed and shook his head. "I'm not gonna judge you, dear," The person replied, calmly

"You were just a few minutes ago," Luna snapped. The person sighed again. "Dad, you're Phillium Benedict, the one who tried to destroy summer!" 

"Still! I was close to winning!" Phillium snapped back. He sighed the third time. "I was just calling and see if you got the job, which you did and I'm proud,"

"Like always," Luna rolled her eyes. "Oh, and I changed Prickly's office into something wizardly," 

Phillium blinked. He shook his head. "Anyway, Finn and Kyle should be visiting you tomorrow! They also want a job here!" 

Luna sighed. "Of course, they do. See you soon, dad," Luna waved. "Goodbye, the shining moon," Phillium cried

"Bye, psycho!" Luna teased. She then hung up the phone and relaxed on her office chair. 'At least that Detweiler kid didn't hear my conversation with my father' She sighed in relief. 

"And now I have to keep two secrets from the school. One is that my father is Phillium Benedict and two is that I'm a witch," Luna sighed. "That can't be hard, can it?"

*Skip to when everyone was outside for recess*

T.J was on the playground, swinging his feet that were dangling in the air. 'The new principal seems nice, but, someone else is nicer than that'

"You seem down, Teej. What's bugging ya?" A voice asked. T.J looked down to see that Robert AKA King Bob was looking up at T.J. This rarely happens when Robert is off his throne AKA his couch that he sits in. 

"I was feeling a bit down, until you came along and put a smile across my face," T.J teased. He gets flirty when Robert is around, but they do it privately so no one else can hear them

Robert chuckled and playfully rolled his eyes. His cheeks were red from the comment that T.J made. 

"Anyway, did you meet the new principal?" 

T.J nodded, looking up at the king. "I sure did! She seemed nice, but, I don't trust her," He explained. 

"You don't trust her? Why?" Robert asked. T.J turned his whole body around to face the king. "Did something happen?"

"No, not really," T.J rubbed his neck. Robert gave T.J an "I know you did something" glare. 

"Okay, I may have interrupted the class," 

Robert pinched the bridge of his nose. "And why?" He asked, getting annoyed. T.J gulped and felt nervous. He hated when Robert got annoyed in front of him. He's usually calm and collected. The reason why? They both secretly have a crush on one another

"I got upset that Prickly left the school and it's for real. He's never coming back," T.J sighed, lowering his head. Robert felt hurt, seeing his friend in great pain

"T.J, do you want to talk to me about it? I mean, you trust me more than anyone else in this school, right?" Robert asked, calmly

T.J felt his cheeks burning up. His face was so red from blushing. Robert noticed and couldn't help, but laugh. T.J covered his face with his hands in embarrassment

"Robert, stop! You're embarrassing me!" T.J cried. T.J and Robert were the only ones that can their first names when they are together

"Oh, come on, Teej! I'm just saying that if you wanna talk to me, that's fine," Robert giggled. T.J sighed and looked down at Robert, smiling

"That'll be amazing," 

Robert smiled back, blushing a little bit. T.J got down from the play area and walked over to the king. Robert put his arms around T.J neck, pulling him close

Gus was minding his business when he saw T.J and Robert, getting close to each other. His eyes widened and pulled Mikey on the shirt. 

"Gus? What's up?" Mikey asked, looking at his friend. Gus pointed to Robert and T.J, pressing foreheads. Mikey was squealing like a little girl

"Well, I'll be damned! I knew this was gonna happen," Vince laughed, holding the basketball under his arm. 

"I'm so gonna make shipping shrines when I get home!" Mikey squealed. "Since when did you start making shrines?" Gus asked

"Eh, Gretchen taught me how to make them," Mikey pointed out. "And I regret teaching you how to make them," Gretchen shook her head and fixed her glasses

"I can imagine how many shipping shrines Mikey's gonna make," Vince gulped. "Maybe about 2 or 3," Mikey informed

"More than 3," Gretchen sighed. "Maybe around 6 shrines," 

Spinelli looked at T.J and Robert. She was helluva jealous. She gasped when they saw them pulling each other into a kiss. The Recess Gang's jaw dropped

"Oh, my god! Did they just..." Vince trailed off. "They so did! But, it's so cute!" Mikey squealed once more

"I guess Detweiler found a mate, didn't he?" Spinelli asked, softly. The crew looked at Spinelli. "You okay?" Vince asked

Spinelli quickly shook her thoughts out. "Mhm! I'm fine, just happy that T.J found someone that truly adores him," Spinelli informed

There was a long silence, until...

"You're jealous of them, are you?" Vince asked

Spinelli rolled her eyes. "Me? Jealous? Pfft! Yeah, right! I'm not jealous!" She scoffed, dismissing that she's jealous that T.J loves Robert more than her

"*scoffs* Are you sure, Spinelli?" Gus asked, looking over to see that T.J was now with Robert, who was sitting down on his throne with T.J on his lap. 

"I'm sure," She smiled. The others looked at each other, then back to Spinelli, whose eye was twitching a bit

Meanwhile, T.J laughed as Robert was tickling his sides. "R-Robert, I- BWHAHAHAHA! S-stop! T-that tickles!" He laughed

"Then, tell me you won't misbehave when you're in class, Theodore!" Robert teased. T.J had tears streaming down his cheeks

Robert stopped tickling T.J and pulled him close. T.J nuzzled him as Robert did the same thing. "Hey, Robert?" T.J asked

"Hm? Yeah?" Robert looked into T.J's blue eyes. "Why did you kiss me?" T.J asked. Robert smirked and kissed T.J on the cheek

"Just to make Spinelli jealous," Robert mocked. T.J looked at the king of the playground and just shook his head. 

"I should've known,"

Robert laughed and began to nuzzle T.J. T.J sighed and nuzzled Robert back. 

Meanwhile, Luna was getting ready when she got a text. She picked her phone up and saw that her brother, Patrick also wants to meet at the school for a job

She sighed and texted Patrick

Luna: Alright, you can come here tomorrow. Just remember to get Finn and Kyle here

Luna waited for her brother's reply. It came back with:

Patrick: Will do. And, uh, where's the location? 

Luna gave Patrick the direction to where the school is located.

Patrick: Thanks, sis! Love you! Have fun on your first day at work!

Luna smiled at what her brother said. She loved her brother dearly and will hurt anyone that will lay a finger on him

"Thanks, Ricky. I needed that," She smiled. She put the phone away and started to take a nap in the office
