After Crowley had made his punishment known, he immediately sent Ace on his way to class and was sure to remind the girls and Grim about their other jobs, much to Grim's utter dismay.

The day went by pretty slowly. After the girls and Grim cleaned off the statue of the Queen of Hearts, they went around fixing any repairs that needed to be done, taking out the trash from the different classrooms, as well as sweeping up any fallen leaves around the courtyard.

All the while, Grim kept on whining and grumbling in anger over Ace's mockery. Kira nearly threw him across the school grounds, mainly out of annoyance by his constant whining. She even had to retrain herself from strangling him.

By the time they were done, the girls and Grim were exhausted and hungry. So when lunchtime came around, the five of them went to the cafeteria to get some food to eat. Good thing was that they had gotten Crowley's permission beforehand. Still, their work wasn't over yet.

They still had to pull out the weeds from the courtyard, wipe down the cafeteria tables, mop the hallways, and lastly, wash those one hundred windows as punishment for scorching the Queen of Hearts statue

The four girls did think that was a lot of work, but they wanted to at least earn their keep. They only hoped that it would be worth it. By the time lunch was over, Grim stayed behind while the girls went off to collect some buckets of water, a couple of window cleaners, sponges and cloths needed for their next cleaning duty.

Even when he saw the cleaning supplies, Grim became even more exhausted. "I'm already beat from cleaning all day... Now we have to wipe a hundred windows, too...?" he whined as he lay on one of the tables in the cafeteria.

"Quit your complaining. We're not fond of doing this either, you know." Kira snipped. She was just as sore as the other girls were about having to wash one hundred windows right after spending a good half of the day doing their chores, plus having to deal with the arrogant students that populated Night Raven College.

"Besides, it's your own fault you've got us into this mess. I hope you've learned your lesson with this and behave yourself." Jazmin said sternly. "Jazmin-chan's right, Grim. We've got no other choice in the matter." Alice added as she set down the supplies. "And if we don't do this, Headmaster Crowley will scold us again."
