We open up to see Bendy kneeling down to Ghost on the sidewalk in front of the school, fixing their cloak as Vaggie and Vivian stood aside.

Bendy: Now, do you have everything? Books, pencils, mace in case someone gets 'too friendly' with you?

Ghost: *nods*

Vaggie: And you know to stick close to Vivian in case something happens, right?

Vivian: Yes, Mami. We made sure of it.

Bendy: good. Are you sure you wanna do this, son? We can always reschedule for next semester.

Vaggie: Hon, it's his first day of school. Don't embarrass him like this.

Bendy: But who knows what'll happen. It's school. In Hell. The most evil place on Earth in the most evil plane of existence. There's gotta be something to wor-

The child grabbed their father's hand to grab his attention as he signed.

Ghost: 'Dad. I'll be fine, I promise.'

At the sight of his son's signs, Bendy sighed and reluctantly smiled at him.

Bendy: Okay... Just, try to have a good day, okay?

With a nod from Ghost, he and Vivian waved at their parents as they made their way into the school. Bendy's eyes grew to a large size as tears started sprinkling off of them,

Bendy: Vagatha, why must our children grow up~? *sobs loudly*

The Ink Demon collapsed onto his wife's shoulder, eliciting her to pat him on the shoulder and smile.

Vaggie: There there, Bendy.

The two entered the school's front doors, as the siren gave their brother a small tour of the inside.

Vivian: Brace yourself, my brother. I'm about to introduce you to the greatest academic thrill ride of your lifetime. Behold.... *spreads arms out* The Hallway Of Learning! *goes up to water fountain* And this is the Fountain Of Learning. *points to clock* And this is the Clock Of Learning.

Ghost: *runs up to a door* 'And this is the Door Of Learning, right?'

Vivian: No, that's just the janitor's closet. *walks over to another door* This is the Door Of Learning.

The two walked down the hall, stopping in front of a door as Vivian opened it.

Vivian: And now, for the room with the most class: the Classroom.

As the siblings entered the classroom, Vivian and Ghost made their way through the room, meeting up with Sydney and Cheshire.

Vivian: Hey, guys.

Sydney: Hey, V.

Cheshire: Hello, Vivian. *notices Ghost* Oh, who's that with you?

Vivian: A new friend for our group, AKA my new brother!

Sydney: Wait, what?! Since when the hell did you have a brother?!

Vivian: As of a few months ago. This is Vessel, but we just call him Ghost. G, meet my best friends, Cheshire and..... *blushes slightly* Sydney.

Ghost: 'Pleasure to meet you both. Vivian has told me a lot about you too.'

Sydney: Huh?

The cat perked up at the child's hand gestures, beginning to sign to them himself.

Cheshire: 'Finally, someone who can sign. I've been waiting to meet someone like this forever.'

Sydney: Okay, what the hell are you guys doing? Is this some sort of secret handshake?
