"Does anybody know what this is all about?" JenJen questioned as she waved a neon yellow sheet of paper in the air.

"What does it say? Ellie and I got one too, but the tiger cub wouldn't let me have it." Kendra groaned as Ellie gave her the best innocent look she could muster, especially after the incident with Haken and the shower.

"It says there's a mandatory class today...an all day class." Kymira groaned as she joined the others in the hall.

"Oh, this is a mistake!" Ellie gasped in unison with the others. "You mean a real class, nothing to do with the General?" She asked in shock, mouth agape.

"Sounds that way." Jen groaned, "Applied Sciences, how General related could that be."

"Sure it says Applied Sciences and not Applied to the General?" Ellie asked in shock.

"Who in their right minds would do such a thing?" Kendra exclaimed as she grabbed the memo from Jen and tried to decipher the signature at the bottom. "Any idea...Cere...Ker..who the hell writes like that?" She sighed through bleary eyes.

"It says, General Kenobi," Ellie corrected as she rolled her eyes. "You use body paints enough, you should know his signature by now."

"Hey, I don't exactly look at what he writes, ok," Kendra corrected before Jen interrupted the two Ho's.

"Look, you two can squabble in class, according to the memo we have twenty minutes, so we'd better get a move on." Kymira interjected as all four loudly sighed and went back to their rooms.

Judy leaned against the bar trying to make a list of needed supplies, when the commotion outside the window caught her attention. As she glance outside she noticed quite a few Ho's heading towards the classrooms.

"Hmmm....this is odd, haven't seen much action in the classes lately," Judy said aloud as Laure walked into the bar.

"What's odd?" Laure asked as she joined the other Ho at the window. "What are they doing? Going to class?"

"It appears that way," Dorotea agreed as she joined the conversation, making Laure and Judy jump in surprise. "Odd, huh?" She shrugged before grabbing a couple beers for her newest pet and leaving.

It had been only two hours since the student Ho's had filed into the classroom, but to many it felt like days. This had actually turned into a real class; the shock and total disbelief could be felt by all. Especially when there was this nerdy, Einstein-ish man droning on and on at the front of the class.

" Surely, none of the staff chose this guy?" Jen whispered to Brenda who was sitting at the same table.

"Definitely not!" Brenda said a little too loud, making the professor glance her way, giving her the evil eye. " No definitely not!"

" I don't understand, who would do such a thing?" Ellie softly said as she pretended to be taking notes.

"No idea, but I think we need to find out!" Kymira said with determination, "I mean I don't mind classes, but they have to be Generalfied."

"What the hell is Generalfied?" Jen demanded a little too loudly bringing the cold look of death from Einstein once more.

"Belonging to and related of the General." Ky stated with total belief. "And what's this with Kendra, she actually seems to be enjoying this?" She questioned in disbelief as she glanced to the end of the table and noticed Kendra leaning against the table, pen in one hand. Chin resting in the other, staring straight ahead.

"She's sleeping." Ellie stated as she waved a hand in front of her roomies face, and the other Ho didn't flinch. "See, I taught her this move!" She gleamed as the others just shook their heads in amazement.

"What happened to Kendra?" Shana asked as she walked down the hall and noticed Ellie guiding the other Ho towards the clinic.

"Pen accident." Ellie replied as she nodded to the bloody tissue on Kendra's forehead. "She fell asleep and next thing you know...bam...her head hits the desk or the pen really...but it was memorable." She said enthusiastically as Kendra glared at her.

"Oh, alright," Shana nodded as she went back to business as if this was an everyday accident.
"Desk, pen, it sounds almost like a real class.." she mused aloud as she walked.

"What?" Darry asked as she opened the door to the clinic. "Not again, what this time, bike, rollerblades, walking?"

"Nope, pen accident!" Ellie cheerfully said as she and Kendra stood in the hallway.

"Oh.." Was all Darry managed to say.

"Look El, you don't have to shout it to everyone, let alone sound happy." Kendra objected as footsteps could be heard behind them.

"Pen accident?" The General asked with concern as he walked up to join them in the hallway, making Kendra roll her eyes and groan. "Does it hurt?" He asked as he took the tissue from the Ho's forehead and she sighed contently.

"Gotta run, things to do...busy, busy." Darry stated before shutting the door and going back to her Doctor, leaving the three standing in the hall, glancing at the now shut and locked door.

"Let's go back in my office and I'll make it better." The General calmly said as he lead them into his outer office, making Deb glance up at them.

"What happened?" Deb questioned as they walked into the room.

"Pen accident!" Ellie gleefully said once more, eliciting a growl from Kendra, making the General pull his hand away momentarily.

"Oh, ok, and General, don't forget, your next appointment is in ten minutes with Emmy. And it's the motorcycle ride you promised, so you have to change." Deb reminded as she pointed to her watch.

"This won't take long." He chuckled as he gently ran his hand over the gash, using the force to heal it. "There, good as new!" The General grinned before kissing the now gone boo-boo. "I see this must have happened in class."

"You...you're the one?" Ellie asked in disbelief as the General sighed loudly.

"I thought it was time we got back on track, we need to re-focus, gain back our youth so to speak." He stated with a far off look in his eyes as all three Ho's eyed him suspiciously.

"Did you clear this new professor or the class with the board?" Deb asked cautiously.

"No, but they'll approve." The General said with a confident tone, but a furrowed brow.

"Yeah right." Ellie snorted,"well, thanks General, we have to go!" She added as she dragged Kendra by the arm and headed outside.

"Thanks..." Kendra shouted as they disappeared, leaving the General to shrug his shoulders then quickly head to his room to change into his leathers.

"What was all that about?" Kendra demanded as the two Ho's exited the Admin building.

"You heard the man. He didn't discuss this with the board, besides, something up with him and we need to find out what." Ellie explained.

"Maybe he's just overworked." Kendra suggested.

"No, no more than usual, no marathon make-up sex lately either, it's something else."

"Oh, well, what could happen?" Kendra sighed.
