Ali watched as Nat and Blaze shared a moment, a bit unsure of what to make of it. Afterwards, he quickly stood up from his chair.
"It was nice meeting you, but I'm afraid I have to finishup the last of my exams..." Ali told Skye's mother.
"I hope to see you again! I'll talk to you over the summer, Skye!" Ali waved good-bye, just incase Skye wasn't ableto make it for Julia's performance.
Arts was very difficult for Ali, but he was able to notice a pattern which the Ludicolo he was sketching would dance in. He managed find a neutral position in the cycle, and blotch down the basic shapes of the Ludicolo about half way through the class, spending the other half on detail. History was no better though, the Oore region's history cause Ali to be completely dumbfounded for about one-third of the exam, but he still managed to get a passing mark. He placed his paper on the teacher's desk right before the bell went, and with that, he doddled into the grand hall, taking a peak into the auditorium. He Princess ran ahead of him behind the set, finding Monica covered in tons of paint.
"Uh-oh... Mr. Iwana, I'm going to need a new costume..." She muttered, looking up to see a bucket of paint, tilted on its side ontop of a ledge. Ali playfully snickered at the sight of such clumsiness,
"Interesting..." He smirked, observing Monica pull out a tin-foil stick out of her back-pocket, and smacking his arm with it.
"ALI! THAT ISN'T FUNNY!" She exclaimed. Julia now walked onto the set, seeing Monica and Ali.
"What are you doing back here?" She asked with interest,
"You know you aren't supposed to be here, right? Go have dinner with your friends, and come back at 5!"
"But... It's too early to have dinner!" Julia snatched the tin-foil stick from Monica, and smacked the same arm of Ali's that Monica had earlier.
"Ouch! You know that does hurt!"
"Whatever, just go!!" She continued to insist, pushing him out of the auditorium, and leading Princess out with him after giving her a pat on the head. Ali picked Princess up, laughing a bit, then walked into the dining hall, and sitting at a table, not bothering with ordering anything so soon.
