Kayda is not many students' first pick for hottest faculty member at Saint Diablerie High. There's stiff competition. The top three tend to be Miss Bubo, Miss March, and Mrs Chumbley. There were even fans of Miss Cumberland, as mean as she was.

Principal Kayda is not bad looking. She's nicely curvy but she doesn't interact with the students very much.

Then again, one of the times that she did, she dressed in a Christmas leotard. So she made some kind of impression.

Especially on Leonard.

Which is why he was nervous about walking into her office.

Kayda was sitting on her desk, her typical aloha shirt unbuttoned to show some cleavage.

"Come in, Leonard. Take a seat."

Heart beating in his chest, the possum sat down in the chair in front of her desk.

"Your teachers have been telling me that you've been having trouble focusing in class. Falling asleep at your desk. Being a naughty student."

It was the late night gaming that had betrayed his academic efforts.

"Well, we can't have you sleeping through classes. If you don't learn vector calculus, something something, get a job. Do you understand?"

Leonard nodded.

"I'll dole out a different kind of punishment this time." The principal winked and Leonard's heart beat harder.

Then Principal Kayda shook her head as if waking up and looked around.

"Huh." She buttoned up the shirt. "I would have expected Bubo. I guess I'm a little flattered. Be careful sleeping at school, kid. You never know who lurks in the dream world."

"Uh, what?" the possum asked.

"Chop, chop, wake up," said the komodo dragon. She clapped her hands and the sound jolted Leonard from his dream.

He jerked in his desk and realized he had nodded off in detention. Which he had been sent to for falling asleep in class.

Principal Kayda sat at the head of the room, reading her fishing magazines and paying no attention to the two students in the room.

What a weird dream...

"Hey!" demanded the other student. A really busty bird who Leonard didn't know. She leaned right in his face and glowered. "It was getting good and then you just wake up? What the fuck is going on in your brain?"

"Hormones, I think? Wait, what do you mean getting good?"

"Uuuuuuuuugh! Shut up, peasant." The bird moved to a further desk. "And now I'm all hungry. This is the worst."

What??

Making it a dream was inspired by the misty indistinct way the background was drawn. And because dream Kayda going 'welp, shutting this down' is funny. What a weird lady.

Hey, guess what? It's a lizard theme week. There's gonna be lizards. Here's Kayda and there's also Evaline and Nala upcoming.

It's a September miracle.
