A new story. But this one is originally written by the author Andrew Clements. It's a book called No Talking by Andrew Clements, but I decided to rewrite it. It fit into this fandom perfectly, and I thought up an amazing sequel for it that I'm going to write, completely original, but this story needs to be told first.
I did something like this with my Big Hero 6 story, The Report Card. It's a huge hit (for me, anyway :P) and so I thought I'd try another one. I've had people tell me that this is plagiarism, but some of my very nice reviewers reassured me that TV shows and stuff do spoofs and things of TV shows/books/movies all the time. And they get payed to do that. I'm doing it for free, so all the better.
Anyway, here is the first, but short chapter. I hope you enjoy!
Zipped
Danny Fenton was in the middle of his fourth hour of not talking. He was also in the middle of his social studies class on a Monday morning in the middle of November. And Amity Elementary School was in the middle of a medium-size town in the middle of New York.
There was a reason Danny was in the middle of his fourth hour of not talking, but this isn't the time to tell about that. This is the time to tell about what he figured out in the middle of his social studies class.
Danny figured out that not talking is extra hard at school. And the reason? Teachers. Because at 11:35 Mr. Atkins clapped his hands and said, "Class. Class! Quiet down!" Then he looked at his list and said, "Danny and Sam, you're next."
So Danny nodded at Sam and stood up. It was time to present their report about India.
But giving this report would ruin his experiment. Because Danny was trying to keep his mouth shut all day. He wanted to keep his lips zipped right up to the end of the day, to not say one single word until the last bell rang at ten after three. And the reason Danny decided to clam up...but it still isn't time to tell about that. This is the time to tell what he did about the report.
Danny and Sam walked to the front of the room. Danny was supposed to begin the presentation by telling about the history of India. He looked down at his index cards, looked up at Mr. Atkins, looked out at the class, and opened his mouth.
But he didn't talk.
He coughed. Danny coughed for about ten seconds. Then he wiped his mouth, looked at his index cards again, looked at Mr. Atkins again, looked at the class again, and...coughed some more. He coughed and coughed and coughed until his face was bright red and he was all bent over.
Sam stood there, feeling helpless. Danny hadn't told her about his experiment, so all she could do was watch, and listen to his horrible coughing. Sam's opinion of Danny had never been high, and it sank lower by the second.
Mr. Atkins thought he knew what was happening with Danny. He had seen this before. Kids that got so nervous that they made themselves sick rather than talk in front of the class. It surprised him, because Danny wasn't shy at all. Ever. In fact, none of this year's fifth graders were the least bit shy or nervous about talking. Ever.
But the teacher took pity, and he said, "You'd better go get some water. You two can give your report later."
Sam gave Danny a disgusted look and went back to her desk.
Danny nodded at Mr. Atkins, coughed a few times for good measure, and hurried out of the room.
And with Danny out in the hall getting a drink, it's the perfect time to tell why he was in the middle of his fourth hour of not talking, and why he had decided to keep his mouth shut in the first place.
So, I hope you liked this. And if you did, and you're into Big Hero 6, and you aren't already reading it, you should go check out The Report Card. It's awesome.
So, anyways, review!
