When Paul Perez was little, he believed in monsters and would always have nightmares about them. He eventually got over his fears, and became a joker to help him get over them. One day his jokes go too far when he brings his parrot to school, and it starts insulting the teacher. He tries to make her laugh to win her over, as he always tries to make people laugh, but it fails. Upon hearing he is having trouble in school, Paul's overachieving parents pull some strings, and get him accepted into a boarding school called The Caring Academy.
