Nicholas replied, "Yes! Let's go to the Renaissance next." Scruffy added, "Great! That's one of my favori periods of history." "Mine, too!" Chirped Buzzy. "Okie dokie! To the Renaissance we go!"

Madison was able to shield Alexandria from bullies, but it wasn't as easy without having Connor as a backup. Madison said, "It was actually terrifying to stand up to those bullies alone." Alexandria said, "I'm sure it was." Madison said, "I haven't had to do that in so long. I miss Connor." Alexandria said, "I miss him, too. I can't wait until he's better." A few days after the incident, Connor said, "I'm sorry I couldn't be there for toi two." Madison said, "It's okay, Connor. toi needed to rest and get well." Alexandria said, "That's right. I do hope you're feeling better now." He said, "I am." Pretty soon, Connor was back in school, helping Madison shield Alexandria from bullies.
