"But teacher, what if Banana also wants trip?!" Boo puffed his cheeks and hugged the plush tightly.
Luna huffed, crossing her arms. "You two are ridiculous. I'm going to bring something useful. Like… meat!" Her golden-brown eyes gleamed with pride.
"NOOO!" the class shouted in unison, some laughing, some horrified.
Alina pressed her forehead. "Luna, no meat. Fresh food will spoil."
"Fine," Luna grumbled, still looking unconvinced.
Vlad Jr. raised his hand politely, though his smirk betrayed him. "Teacher, I will bring a proper handkerchief and a comb. Even on a trip one must remain elegant."
"Very good, Vlad Jr.," Alina said, nodding with approval.
Kelpie lifted his hand nervously, water dripping faintly off his sleeve. "Teacher, can I bring… a tiny bowl of water? I feel calmer with it."
"No, Kelpie. Your water bottle is enough."
Rocky muttered shyly, almost turning half-pebble. "Can I bring… pebbles? Just a little pouch."
