[oom: Strategies.]

Fry looks happy when he comes into the bar today. Today has definitely been a good day, because Max came to school and Max always gets things sorted out.

He sits at the bar and looks at his new break schedule again.

'Morning break playground buddies
Monday - Teddy
Tuesday - Kasha
Wednesday - Noah
Thursday - Ink
Friday - Freya

Monday - Helping in the Library
Tuesday - Chess club
Wednesday - Cooking club
Thursday - Speech and Drama
Friday - Piano Lesson'

He's particularly pleased about the prospect of helping in the library, because it comes with a rather shiny 'Library Helper' badge, which he is currently attempting to pin on his jumper without thinking about the fact that to everyone other than him, it's upside down.

"Hey, Fry! Whaddaya got?"

"Icon!" Fry says, trying to fix it in the middle of his shirt upside down.

Possibly they do not traditionally go there.

"Max said Mr Ng is going to let me help in the library on Mondays because I know the dewey decimal system and there aren't any clubs on Monday."

Enzo grins and decides not to go into what is or isn't technically an icon.

"That's awesome! You've, uh, got that upside-down."

Fry looks at it. It looks the right way up to him, because he's looking down at it.

"Please would you help me?" he asks, holding the badge out.

"Sure." Enzo kneels down and pins it on him. "There, see, if it looks upside-down to you, it'll look right to people looking at you."

"...and I know I'm the library helper so I need to tell them more?"

"Exactly."

Fry fiddles with the badge in the middle of his jumper. It's nice to have an icon.

"Max came to school to help." He shows Enzo his list. "Because at the moment I spend all my lunch break with my hands over my ears."

"Not exactly fun." He looks over the list. "Neat! Are any of the rest of these new? I can't remember."

"I have a buddy for each day of the week now." Fry says. "So that Teddy can say it's my buddy day with him and play football with the others another day."

He nods. "Cooking club is new, and Speech and Drama is new. Mrs Donkey says I don't have to do all acting and I can do some learning about body language and when people say things they don't mean."

"Sounds like a good idea! The cooking, too. Do you know what kind of things you'll be cooking?"

"This week we are cooking mugcake." Fry says.

"Oh, nice!"

Because sometimes you just need a mug full of hot, semi-solid cake.

"And we have to bring a mug." Fry says. "Mr Leek is going to help me."
