Dearest Yukiko,

You ever hear that saying "Everything will be easier in high school"?

Yeah. Me neither.

Well. Since you're my new "diary" ((Just saying the word makes me cringe)) I guess introductions are in order. I'm Anne. Please don't ask my last name, I get made of enough for it. Anyway, so there's just this whole load of crap going on. It's the first day of high school tomorrow and I still don't have my powers. Goodie, right?

Wait. I guess you're not too intelligent on this matter. Okay. I'll break it down for you. There are some beings in this world that have powers. Some have great powers like invisibility or super strength, while others have mediocre powers like changing into a beach ball or melting. We like to call them "Supers."

Now, it's common for Supers to…erm… commit the act of beginnings with each other. Get it? After marriage of course, we don't need a bunch of super hero bastards running around. But normally two villains or two heroes marry. Other times a hero/villain marries a citizen, or normal person. When two Supers get together, their offspring normally has a good power. When you're only a half super, you usually get a sucky power. There are also the times where a half gets a cool power, or when a full blooded Super gets a sucky one. Or children of Supers could just not get them at all.

I'm starting to think I'm like that last choice. Mum and Daddy are awesome supers. Well. Mummy's a super villainess. But what's the difference, eh? There was a bang of gossip around the town when the Supers found out The Shadow fell in love with Angel Wings. Ugh. Ugly names, aren't they? But daddy says the good angel related names were already taken. But back on topic...I don't think I'll be getting powers related to shadows or holy things anytime soon.

Well. Josh and Spence should be here in an hour, so I better start getting ready.

Peas&Carrots Yukiko!

Anne.

I closed my snow white journal and propped it up on my black silk pillow, admiring it for a moment. It felt nice to finally get a journal to keep my thoughts in. The feeling, unfortunately, was wrecked as my mother banged on my door. "ANNIE! Are you up yet?"

Rolling my light gray eyes, I stuck my tongue out at the door. 'Way to ruin the moment…' I thought to myself sourly. "Yeah, I'm up." My face screwed up when I heard my hoarse voice. Making a mental note to write about the bet I had with Spence that I wouldn't talk until the first day of school, I stood and pulled off my white Shiny Toy Guns T-Shirt and replaced it with a –supposedly– clean light green Eyore shirt. Basketball shorts were lazily replaced with loose but worn out jeans. I refuse to walk around the house in the morning in my pajamas and have my parents to yell at me for my choice in pajamas. Expecially when they added that it was practically noon.

I drug my cotton sock covered feet across the carpet and let out a loud yawn when I entered the kitchen that was just down the hall. Yeah, I sorta lived in the backroom. Stairs are evil. While my mouth was open, mummy stuffed a choco-chip waffle practically down my throat. Daddy, who was sitting at the table reading yesterday's newspaper, gave her a disapproving look. "Charna," He lectured, "You're going to end up killing her like that one day." I nodded in agreement, about half the waffle falling out of my mouth.

"Oh Ori, you're such a kidder," Mum let out a soft cackle and picked up her bag. I could see the hem of her costume under her jacket and I knew exactly where she was going before she even said it. "Well, I'm off to terrorize Tokyo. Would you guys like sushi for dinner?" I gave a growl through my mouthful of food and she quickly added, "With some ramen and inari, of course." I gave a satisfied grunt as I finally attempted to swallow, only to gag and cough my waffle into the trash bin. Mummy left the house with a smile on. The infuriating bitch.

Once I was finally able to get breakfast without it being shoved down my throat by a teenage-wanna be of a parent, and made my way back to my room. But not before shocking my father with all the static electricity I had worked up since I got out of bed. He thought it was my power, but saw my smirk and knew it was for letting mum get away with her child abuse.

About an hour later, the guys showed up.

"Hey guys, how was your vaca?" I asked, holding my hand up in the air like a wanna-be gangster as they stepped through the doorway. They just looked at each other briefly, then back to me.

"Listen... Anne..." Josh began with large gaps between his words. Lucky for him, Spence stepped in with a slightly meaner tone. "We've decided to be bullies after we get our freshman punishment. And we'd like you to join us if you're sorted into the hero class."

I tensed, knowing where this was leading. "Look... guys. You know I haven't found my powers yet..."

Josh sighed, turning to Spence. "Look what you did Speed! She's gonna cry now." He threw his arms in the air and I noticed the striped shirt I had given him on the last day of school. Second to last day he had found his powers, so I went out and got him a black and white shirt to make it seem less conspicuous than just his arm reaching out when he stretched.

Speed shoved Josh's shoulder, "Ah, shuddup." He turned to face me, "How 'bout this, we'll still hang out occasionally, and we'll make your side-kick suffering much more enjoyable!" He smiled jokingly, knowing that I knew they would never bully me. Even without powers, I could still mess them up pretty badly.

I nodded, going along with the joke. "Yeah, you could shove me in a locker after lunch then come and set me free after school! I'll be sure to miss Save the Citizen!" What could I say? I absolutely hated gym and had the suspicion that I had a mild form of asthma.

We headed back to my room –we'd been an inseperatable trio since right after the cootie age so my parents weren't worried about us closing the door– and chat for a while about our summers. Mum and daddy had planned to wreak some havoc or save some cities out in various European tourist spots, so I spent most of my summer in the UK. Some of the accent is still with me despite my past week of watching Mike, Lu, & Og and Invader Zim reruns.

It wasn't until I found out that H.I.M had come on tour to our town that I had a feeling of missing out on summer break.

Lash chuckled and ruffled my hair. I nipped up at his hand and bit down on his pinky. By the yell of agony and taste of blood in my mouth, I guessed something was wrong and relinquished my hold on his hand. He quickly pulled his hand back and I quickly spat out the blood, wiping it from my face.

"Josh, are you okay?" She asked hurriedly, leaning forward to see the wound. He recoiled, staring at his hand and whimpering in pain.

"You bit me..." Lash whispered, "You've bit me before, but this time you actually bit me!" He looked up at me, his eyes wide.

Speed was next to Lash in a second, staring at the injury. Despite the seriousness of the situation, he couldn't help but laugh. "Dude, Anne, your power might be like...Super bite or something!"

I slid my tongue over my canines, then opened my mouth and pointed to them. "EH! Eher arpah!" Translation: EH!! They're Sharper!

They both moved away from me, staring at my newly found fangs. Then an idea popped into Speed's head and he smiled at me, "Anne, you were acting like a dog when you nipped at Lash, right?" I nodded, not seeing where this was going. "Act like a dog again. This time, growl and act like your swishing your tail." I gave him a confused look, but went along with it anyway.

Baring my sharpened canines, I felt a vibration in the back of my throat as a deep growl emit from between my teeth, shaking my rump slightly to give that tail wagging approach. Their eyes widened as I did this, but I stopped only when Speed once again opened his mouth. "Now whimper and give your best puppy dog face." I did as I was told, widening my eyes and pouting at them, whimpering quite convincingly if I do say so myself. "Now bark." I rolled my eyes, but opened my mouth and out came an alto ranged bark. Not the kind that I usually make. They stared at me, there eyes wide and jaw dropped.

I slammed my hand against my mouth, only to feel fur. I looked down at my hands, which had formed into claws. I jumped off my bed and ran to my full-size mirror, almost fainting.

My skin was but white and at the same time wasn't skin at all. It was fur. And my face was completely different. I hadn't grown a muzzle or anything, but my nose was a little more pointed and the bottom was black like a dog's. My normal ears were gone and replaced with dog-like ones on the top of my head. My bone structure was still what it had been when I was still human, just furry and easy to pick out in a crowd. As an add on, I had a furry white tail and my hands looked more like paws. My feet were the same, but the bone structure stayed the same in them. For a better example of how my hands and feel looked, think of an albino Wile E. Coyote.

I couldn't speak. I couldn't take my gaze from the mirror. How did this happen? Why now, on the last day of summer break? And the above all question... how am I going to explain this to the universe?

Not being able to take it anymore, I collapsed onto my rump and rolled over on my side so I could lay down without squishing my tail. "Why is this happening to me?" I groaned, clenching my eyes closed and feeling like I was going to cry. I was a freaking albino dog!

Lash and Speed broke out of their spell and came over to sit next to me. Lash took a breath to say something despite the fact he obviously had nothing to say. He was of course, saved by me as I opened my eyes to look up at them. "I'm a freak. I'll never be able to go back outside again."

Another roll of silence came by, during which my father knocked on the door to say mum had a change in schedual and was going to be stuck in Tokyo for the week and to ask what we wanted on the pizza this time. Yeah, like I said, they're over a lot. It was settled on half Supreme, have Diablo. Ah yes… my savory jalapeño and pepper jack cheese. Can't forget the habanero either!

Finally, Lash's eyes sparked and he smiled. "We got you into this mess by making you imagine you were a dog, so imagine yourself as yourself!" I raised an eyebrow, but did as he said. Hopefully it would work. I didn't have the smartest friends of all time, alright? Of course, it was trusting them that had gotten me into this mess…

Praise the Lord, I was human again! I sighed and sat up, patting down my hair and rear to make sure no unnatural tails or ears were present. Thankfully, I was completely normal.

And so was the start of my life as a super.

Okay. So I'm doing a Sky High story for once. I'm actually proud of the plot I have, but not so much with how the chapter turned out. I was trying to shove too much into this and it just turned out...ew. I'm still deciding if I should do some of their freshman year for backup for what happens later, but that's up to who ever reviews. Please be kind, but I'd like some criticism on this. Like, what to change about her, what to do to make this better, blah blah blah. I'm so used to doing Kingdom Hearts stories, I'm not too good with actual people.
