@Yellow: Believe me, it was no simple task. I'm just glad I was born with a natural talent for negotiating... Sometimes I think I'd be an awesome lawyer! X3
Also, I'm not planning on bringing Meep's parents to the Academy just after he spent his very first day there, as well as for a few more reasons:
1. Meep's father has his hands full with running the daycare in Celadon, and he can't find anyone to fill in for him.
2. Meep's mother is a very busy businesswoman and is usually given the tougher, lengthier projects because of her vast amount of experience and skill, so she's not able to get that many vacation days off (the sad part of working a successful job :C).
3. Even if they could schedule some free time, they strongly believe that visiting Meep so soon after he moved out and treating him like a child would only encourage other students to bully him (and Meep needs more jerks in his life like he needs a cactus to the rear :/).
But I'm guessing having your character's parents visit for Thanksgiving is optional, so I'm not going to worry about it. I just wanted to give Meep's family some interesting background info. X3
