Chief Mickey

Lieutenant Griswald and Ava Rimple bring Rus to 98th Street School. Rus is a wild child and thinks that the other students he meets will be just like him, but to his surprise everyone is acting well behaved in class, and Mr Boyd reads them a story. When recess starts all the children are quiet and nobody acts like they do in the future. Rus notices Greta just reads and never gives anyone ideas, Vance just runs around quietly, The Diggers just play in a sandbox, Swinger Boy does not swing high, Upright Girl does not hang upright, The Aubrees do not say “Outrageous”, The Megans do not say “Ludicrous”, and Rigalli is a shy little girl with a doll. Rus then meets one little girl with a blue baseball cap whose name is Carolyn Jessica Rotweiler. Rus befriends him and gives her her nickname: C.J.. Mr Boyd is very shocked with Rus' behavior. Shortly afterward, Rus realizes that everyone is clean and being well-behaved because they are afraid of Mickey who acts as a big bully and Rachel is the one who tames him. Rus is enraged and he later reveals the reason that Mickey acted like a monster is because Rachel told him lies and said she was her only friend. Mickey is actually friendly and explains that Rachel was behind everything because she wanted to take control of the whole grade and have everything belong to her.

Then Rus convinces all the Kindergartners that they should be like him and be wild like a normal Kindergartner, then all the kid begin to act like their future selves, Vance becomes more active, Greta starts passing her theories to other kids, Rigalli realizes that she is a very tough girl and C.J. becomes brave and adventurous. Rachel is horrified and quickly tells Mr Boyd that everyone is all messy. Mr Boyd is very furious and demands to know who did this. When he finds that it was Rus, he takes him to Principal Prickly's office. However, C.J. and the gang form a plan and help Rus escape from the office, leaving Rigalli's doll in the chair he was sitting in. The next day, Rus had to move again with his parents and would not attend 98th Street School again until he got in the fourth grade.
