The group along with Jack walk around to check on the other groups.

"We'll go see Class A's stand next," Jack says.

Grim happily says, "Yes! That's my group!"

"You DID help them set up before you came to our stand, right?" Jack questions.

Grim smiles with laughter, "Myahaha! Of course, of course!"

"I don't buy that," Jack responds.

Soon, the group sees Ace, "Hey, you guys are back!"

"And you've brought Jack with you," Deuce says, "Are you doing your Steering Committee inspection?"

"That's right. Looks like your stand's doing great," Jack says, "According to the paperwork you sent us, you're selling...churros?"

"Yeah! Each year came up with a different topping to sell," Ace says.

"That's a fun idea!" Jack replies.

"Me and Ace basically came up with the freshmen's churro toppings," Deuce says.

And Ace says, "We coated ours in a red berry sauce, then covered 'em with silver dragées and lots of rainbow sprinkles."

"Oh, sprinkles? Class B did that too," Jack says.

"Yeah, we did. And the silver dragées are those tiny round silver candies. They're used to decorate all sorts of sweets and baked goods," Ace says.

Grim smiles, "Whoa, nice! And you can eat those shiny little things?"

"You were there when we picked the toppings! Did you turn your ears off or something?" Deuce questions.

"Hey, c'mon, I was busy taste testing the churros!" Grim says.

Briar and Ace sigh.

"More like you were too busy eating," Briar says.

"Well, they look delicious. Real eye-catching," Jack says.

"Yeah, I bet they're a blast to make, too! Lemme try!" Grim says and begins to get his toppings, a little too much.

Deuce calls out, "Hey, be careful! You put WAY too much sugar and cinnamon on there!"

"I can't even see the churro anymore," Ace says.

"'Course not. Anyone with a brain knows the more you put on, the more delicious it gets!" Grim says.

"I don't think that's how it works," Deuce says.

"Trust me! I tried it with my waffle earlier," Grim says.

"It definitely looks like a churro Grim would make," Ace says.

"You said, 'I bet they're a blast to make.' I thought you helped prep this morning," Jack points out.

"I did!" Grim says.

"If by 'helped prep,' you mean 'did nothing.'" Ace points out.

"Mrah?! C'mon, don't do me dirty like that!" Grim says, offended.

"Well, I suppose doing the taste testing counts as something," Briar says with a sheepish smile.

"He ate a bunch of our supplies and called it 'taste testing.'" Deuce says.

Briar sighs, "Yeah. That's true."

"Are you kidding me? Forget helping, you were actively hindering!" Jack says.

Soon, Silver walks over, "Ah, Jack. Inspecting our food stand? Thank you for your service."

And Kalim is with him.

Seeing him, Jack says, "Hi, Silver. Kalim. Is this the sophomores' churro?"

"Yeah, Silver and I came up with it!" Kalim says.

"That's right. I really pushed myself to stay awake during the assembly," Silver says.

"We dusted it with coconut powder, one of my faves. Then we added some dried fruit. Pineapple, orange, kiwi, melon, dates..." Kalim says.

"Garnishing it with nuts was my idea," Silver says, "Some animals brought me some nuts while I was thinking about toppings. That's how I came up with it."

"Quite a story. And the churros look great!" Jack says.

He then looks around, "And for the juniors... Oh, hey there, Leona!"

"Hey," Leona says, annoyed.

Jack asks, "What kind of toppings did you guys do on your churros?"

"This kind," Leona says and presents the one he has.

"Chocolate and almonds, a classic combo!" Jack says.

"I dunno...isn't it a little simple? This is a festival, after all. Shouldn't it be flashier?" Ace says.

Leona scoffs, "Psh. We gotta make a ton of these. You think we got time to do a bunch of fiddly stuff?"

"Yep, sounds like a Leona approach," Deuce says.

"The freshmen and sophomores' churros are truly beauté!" Rook says, "I can tell how much time and love has gone into them. They are a product we can truly be proud of. I hope that many will try one."

"In other words, they're a ton of work and a huge hassle," Leona says, "You got all finicky about a buncha pointless details. Simple and classic is easiest."

"Indeed. A subdued and reasonably-priced churro that more customers can enjoy has a beauté of its own!" Rook says.

Kalim gets the idea, "Oh, I get it now!"

"Indeed, these are Class A's churros: three varieties that intermingle to produce a marvelous harmony and resonance!" Rook says.

"You certainly put a lot of thought into everything, Leona," Silver says.

But Ace says, "No, he didn't! He literally said he took the easiest route!"

"I know! Let's have a little competition to see which churro sells the best!" Kalim says.

"Sounds like a good time to me! I'm in!" Ace says.

"Excellent. Let's sell some churros, freshmen!" Deuce says.

Kalim happily says, "I like your energy! Don't count us sophomores out, though!"

"Nor we juniors, heh heh," Rook replies.

"A friendly rivalry to boost our sales, then?" Silver responds.

But Leona says, "It's not that deep. They're just messin' around. And I'm not gonna be a part of it."

And Kalim says, "All right, Class A! Get out there and sell, sell, sell!"

A few minutes later...

People are buying churros and saying, "'These churros are so hot and fresh! And they smell incredible!' 'Take a bite! So crispy and yummy!'"

Seeing this, Deuce says, "Looks as though all three flavors are going over well. That's good to see."

"No problems with Class A's stand in terms of hygiene or safety. Their sales are looking good, too," Jack says, "Perfect, that wraps up the inspection, then," Then turns to Briar and the others, "Alright, let's head over to the next stand."

Still eating, Grim says, "Hang on... I'm shtill tashte teshting..."

"Grim, are you still eating?" Sereia asks.

Grim just continues eating.

Ace says, "Hurry and get him outta here, Jack! He's gonna munch his way through all our

"Come on, Grim!" Jack says and takes Grim away.

"Au revoir, Monsieur Fier-à-bras! I shall see you anon when it is time for the concert," Rook says.

"For sure. Later," Jack says.

And then Ace says, "Yeah, about that—I seriously can't believe you're gonna do a concert, Jack."

"Epel mentioned that you can suddenly actually play an instrument?" Deuce says.

"Don't be ridic!" Ace replies.

And Rook says, "My friends, it is true! Much like the others, I had never been able to play a brass instrument either!"

"You learned one too?!" Deuce asks.

"This concert's gonna be legendarily bad. Future generations will look back on it as the worst of all time—and I absolutely must see it!" Ace says, "You better be ready to take responsibility if I laugh so hard I pass out."

"You can talk all you want, so long as you show up. You might be surprised, though," Jack says.

And Leona says, "Someone's had an attitude adjustment about the concert, huh? Guess you managed to find your prey."

"Yes, I did—thanks to you!" Jack says.

Leona scoffs, "Hmph, I didn't do nothin'. But I'll come to the show, I guess."

"All right! Thank you!" Jack says.
