K.C.: *eyes widen as another notification pops up on her Fly Pad* Guys! We have another question! *waves them over*

Pip: *looks up from reading on his Fly Pad as he sits beside the flamingo* Who is it for? *keeps his Fly Pad in his backpack*

K.C.: *checks the Fly Pad again* It's for you, actually

Freddy: *shakes his head as he stops daydreaming and looks at the koala* Who is it from?

K.C.: It's from -E-T-H-A-N- *hands over the Fly Pad to the penguin*

Pip: *curiously takes the Fly Pad from the koala* It says... *starts reading* What did you do during your "government"?

Pip: *raises his eyebrows skeptically* I don't think that can even be called a government. Sure, I was kinda governing that time, but that's really a stretch

Freddy: *frowns* Then just answer the question!

Pip: Alright, alright... *grumbles* Anyway — it all started normal enough. The fliers were still delivering their babies and Freddy got to just hang around and eat cheese all day. There were some paperwork I had to do—

K.C.: *cuts in with a sarcastic smile* And those paperwork you asked me to do

Pip: *mumbles as his cheeks start hearing up* Shut up... Anyway — And then I had to calculate the expenses we would be spending because I miraculously managed to be the boss of T.O.T.S. during the week we had to calculate our expenses and pay the bills—

Freddy: *cuts in with an innocent smile (that makes the penguin melt a little inside) (I mean nothing—)* You also had Mr. Woodbird calculate all those when his passion is physics and programming

Pip: *laughs lovingly* Programming and coding does involve math, Fredamingo

Freddy: *tilts his head* Not as much as actual math though

K.C.: I don't get why we still have bills to pay *pouts as she rests her head on her paws and she continues to complain* Mr. Woodbird already found a way for us to use electricity anyway. Why do we really need to be paying anything? More importantly — why do they have to cut money from my salary just to pay for that?

Pip: Because the government sucks and are too corrupt and selfish to use taxes to pay for these things instead *clears his throat as he speaks in a disappointed tone* I don't get why you guys still have to pay taxes— There is no government here

Freddy: Uh... guys? *starts ticking off each item with his feathers as he begins to count* We need to find a way to pay for the parts Mr. Woodbird uses and the food milk for the babies, not to mention our own food and smoothies—

Pip: *sighs with a smile as he looks at the flamingo with an admiring expression* Okay, we get it, Freddy

Pip: I dunno... *shrugs as he starts with a casual tone again* I guess I didn't get a long enough time in-charge so everything remained the same, but I'm not complaining. I'm amazed at how Captain Beakman manages to handle all this. This is probably not for me...
