It was a sunny day at the Bueller's house. Since Rainbow spent the night with him she was still wondering how he's going to get her the day off. So he told Rainbow to hide behind his bed and he pretended to be sick. And sure enough his parents came in.
"Ferris? Ferris? Tom!" Mrs. Bueller said.
"What's the matter?" Mr. Bueller said.
"Oh it's Ferris." Mrs. Bueller said.
"What? What's wrong?" Mr. Bueller.
"What's wrong? For Christ's sake look at him, honey." She said.
We see Ferris acting all sick and sure enough he was getting away with it.
"Ferris?" Mr. Bueller said.
Now we see the parents and they looked worried about their son.
"He doesn't have a fever, but he says his stomach hurts and he's seeing spots." Mrs Bueller said.
"What's the matter, Ferris?" Mr Bueller said.
"Papa?" Ferris said.
"Honey, feel his hands. They're cold and clammy." Mrs Bueller said.
Ferris took his hand out and sure enough when his father felt it his wife was right. They were indeed cold and clammy.
"I'm fine. I can get up." Ferris said.
"No." The parents said.
"I have a test today." Ferris said.
"No. You...." Mrs Bueller said.
"I have to take it. I want to go to a good college so I can have a fruitful life." Ferris said.
"Honey, you're not going to school like this, now." Mrs Bueller said.
However his sister wasn't believing it. She thinks he's up to something.
"Fine. What's this? What's his problem?" His sister said.
Mrs Bueller turned around and faced her daughter.
"He doesn't feel well." Mrs Bueller said.
"Yeah, right. Dry that one out you can fertilize the lawn." She said.
"Jeanie? Is that you? Jeanie? I can't see that far. Jeanie? Jeanie, i..." Ferris said as his vision was blurry. He then laid back down.
"Bite the big one, Junior." Jeanie said.
"Thank you, Jeanie. You get to school." Mrs Bueller said.
"Wait, you're letting him stay home? I can't believe this. If I was bleeding out my eyes you guys would make me go to school. This is so unfair." Jeanie said.
"Jeanie, please don't be upset with me. You have your health. Be thankful." Ferris said as he continued to the sick act. His parents were still buying it.
"That's it. I want out of this family." Jeanie said as she left. The mother was not liking her attitude.
"Im okay. I'll just sleep. Maybe I'll have an aspirin around noon." Ferris said.
"Now, listen, im showing some houses to that that family from Vermont today. So i'll be in the area. Now, my office will know just where I am if you need me, okay?" Mrs Bueller said.
"Okay." Ferris said.
"I'll check on you too, pal." Mr Bueller said.
"It's nice to know that I have such loving, caring parents. You're both very special people." Ferris said as they smiled at his words. Then his mom kissed him on the forehead.
"Now, you get better, pumpkin." Mrs Bueller said.
"Okay, pumpkin." Ferris said.
"I'll be home at 6:00 sharp. If you need anything, call." Mr Bueller said.
"Ringy-dingy." Ferris said.
The parents then started walking out the door.
"We love you sweetie." Mrs Bueller said.
"Love you too." Ferris said.
"Call if you need us." Mr Bueller said as the door shut. Then Rainbow came out of her hiding spot and Ferris got up.
"Did they buy it?" Rainbow said.
"They bought it." Ferris said.
"Nice. And it's a good thing I told my parents that I wasn't feeling good and that you were taking care of me. Now let's get this day started." Rainbow said.
They began playing some music and they wondered what they were going to do today.
"Incredible. One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second." Ferris said.
"Well dude you are a good actor! Rarity could learn a thing or two from you." Rainbow said.
"Yeah she could. How could I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this?" Ferris said as he looked at the clear sky.
"This is my ninth sick day this semester. It's getting pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for 10, im probably gonna have to barf up a lung. So I better make this one count. Especially for you Rainbow." Ferris said.
"Yeah. But how do you manage to fool your parents into thinking your sick?" Rainbow said.
"The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good nonspecific symptom. Im a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock. But, you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid but then so is high school." Ferris explained.
"I see. I'll have to remember all that." Rainbow said.
Ferris went to the bathroom and got ready for a shower. "Life moves pretty fast."
"It sure does. Reminds me of a certain egghead that always has her head in the books." Rainbow said.
"If you don't stop and look around once in a while you could miss it." Ferris said.
"Exactly!! I've been saying that to her for years!" Rainbow said.
"I do have a test today. That wasn't bullshit." Ferris said jumping in the shower. "It's on European socialism. I mean really what's the point? Im not European. I dont plan on being European. So who gives a crap if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists. It still wouldn't change the fact that I dont own a car." Ferris said.
"Wow. Your really speaking my language Ferris. I should hang with you more often." Rainbow said as he finished the shower and got out.
"It's not that I condone fascism or any " ism" for that matter. "Isms," in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an "ism," he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon: "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." A good point there. After all, he was "The Walrus." I could be The Walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off of people." Ferris said.
"Wow. Those are real good points Ferris." Rainbow said.
"Yes they are. Now let's go relax by the pool." Ferris said.
Meanwhile back at Canterlot High we see the rest of the Rainbooms waiting for Rainbow to come. But so far they couldn't see her.
"Where can Rainbow be? She'll be missing school." Twilight said.
"Maybe she's not feeling well today. She needed a day off til she gets better." Sunset said.
"Sunset's right." A voice said as the girls turned seeing Principal Celestia. "I got a call from her parents saying she's not feeling well. Since it's the last day I supposed just this once I will let that slide. But next year she may have to take the history final."
"Okay Principal Celestia. Thank you for letting us know." Rarity said as Celestia left. But Applejack had a suspicion that Rainbow wasn't really sick.
"Hmm. Something doesn't feel right." Applejack said.
We cut to a house in the forest and inside was a room with all sorts of drugs and was a mess. There was someone laying in bed and he answered his phone as soon as it went off.
"Hello?" He said.
"Cameron babe. What's happening?" Ferris said on the phone.
"Very little." Cameron said.
"How do you feel?" Ferris said.
"Shredded." Cameron said.
"Is your mother in the room?" Ferris said
"She's in Decatur. Unfortunately, she's not staying. Where are you?" Cameron said.
We cut to Ferris and Rainbow in their swim gear relaxing by the pool.
"Me and Rainbow are taking the day off. Now get dressed and come on over." Ferris said.
"First I don't know who Rainbow is and second I can't stupid im sick." Cameron said as Rainbow took the phone.
"Im his friend Cameron. Second that is all in your head. Come on over." Rainbow said.
"I feel like complete shit Rainbow. I can't go anywhere." Cameron said as Ferris took the phone back.
"We're sorry to hear that. Now come on over here and pick us up." Ferris said hanging up.
Cameron hung up too and he was still wondering if he should hang out with Ferris and Rainbow.
"Im dying." Cameron said.
Then the phone rang again and he answered.
"You're not dying. You just can't think of anything good to do." Ferris said as he hung up again.
Cameron wondered how he managed to know what he was saying was a mystery. We cut back to the duo and Rainbow took her sunglasses off.
"What's up with that grouch Ferris?" Rainbow said.
"If anybody needs a day off it's Cameron. He has a lot of things to sort out before he graduates. He can't be wound up this tight and go to college. His roommate would kill him." Ferris said.
"Clearly he does. I honestly don't know what he's been doing most of the time." Rainbow said.
Cameron was singing in bed still thinking about what to do.
"Pardon my French, but Cameron is so tight that if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass in two weeks you have a diamond." Ferris said.
"And your French is pardoned. Rarity probably did not want to hear that if she was here." Rainbow said.
"Well yeah. Now let's go get ready for a day of freedom." Ferris said.
"You read my mind dude." Rainbow said.
So the two got up and got ready for the day off.
