Hey readers! So in the outro at the end of The Test of Time, I mentioned that I had set up a poll on my profile with story ideas that I could write while I work on Ultimate Enemies?. However, no one has voted on any of them, so I decided to upload a chapter of each and see how each is received. I hope you enjoy this first chapter of History Books and stay tuned for the first chapter of the others!
Chapter 1
Danny and his friends walked into first period that morning with yesterday fresh in their minds. They whispered amongst themselves lest anyone should hear what they were discussing.
"So Clockwork really let you mess with time?" Tucker asked as they sat down.
"For the fifth time, yes, and I just made things worse," Danny replied. "Vlad marrying my mom, and my dad becoming Plasmius was definitely not the way I wanted to change things."
"Well, now everything is back to normal and we don't have to worry about ecto-acne," Sam said.
"Yeah, now we just have to deal with regular acne." Tucker glanced over at his friends. "Well, you guys do."
Suddenly, the bell rang as their English teacher, Mr. Lancer walked in and sat down at his desk. "Settle down, everyone," he said, "this morning we will be reviewing Tuesday's homework assignment, then we wil have," he slammed a stack of papers down on his desk, "a pop quiz!"
The room erupted in a mixture of groans and sighs.
"Come on!" Dash exclaimed. "This is the third one this week!"
"Well, I suppose this is just the week for evaluating how well you have paid attention during the last couple of months." Lancer had risen from his desk and begun to set a quiz face down in front of each student.
"Like you really need reassurance every other day," Danny mumbled.
"Is there something you would like to say to me, Mr. Fenton?"
Danny turned to find Mr. Lancer's face uncomfortably close to his own, every crease of the old man's visible in terrifying detail.
Danny gulped audibly. "No, sir."
"Good," the teacher replied. "Now, let us get this class underway." As he turned and walked back to his desk, Danny contemplated shooting a small ball of ectoplasm at the back of his neck. Dash apparently had a similar idea, because he put a straw to his lips and blew.
"Gah!" Dash's shot met its mark. Lancer turned on his heel with his left hand on the back of his neck. Dash quickly threw the straw on Danny's desk. "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, who did that?" His eyes landed on Danny, who was now in possession of the offending weapon. "Mr. Fenton, I will see you after school."
Danny started to explain, but his teacher's glare told him he had no chance. That was always the case with Mr. Lancer.
Well, there you go! Please fav, follow, and reveiw, and don't forget to check back for the other stories!
P.S. I know this is a REALLY short chapter, but this is what I had written from last year when I began this story. The others will be much longer!
