Hey guys. So I went back, realized I had some things I liked... didn't like... had to add things. Alas, editing and re-reading your work always leaves me with... a 0_- face. Some stuff got changed, possibly clarified for the most part. But yea.

Anyways, here's the redone version of Stage 1. I don't own anything. This is a crossover with various Nick shows and Kamen Rider. See if you can spot all the characters and tell me what some of them have in common!

I only blame the pretty insane ideas in my head.

Stage 1 - School Overflow

Kendall Knight stepped out of the rent-a-car onto the hard pavement. He tugged the sides of his beanie further down to hide his blonde hair as he waited for his little sister Katie to get out of the car. Their mother, Jennifer, gave her two children an apologetic look as they stared back at her.

"I know it's a new start, but you'll just have to make do." Jennifer said, giving her children what she hoped was a reassuring smile.

"Yeah Mom, great. Another new school." Kendall muttered, scuffing his shoes on the ground. "In another state."

"Honey, please don't be like that. Opportunities like this only come once in a lifetime." His mother replied. "I know you miss your old school and friends, but you can make new ones here!"

Katie rolled her eyes at her mother's classic textbook answer.

"And you, young lady. Hand em' over." Mrs. Knight extended an open hand to her daughter.

"What?" Katie blinked innocently.

"You are not taking these poor kids for everything they own!" Her mother said curtly, and waggled her fingers for emphasis.

"Oh fine! Ruin my fun!" Katie cried, shoving her hand into her backpack, pulling out and handing the deck of cards and box of chips to her mother. Her brother snickered, earning him a quick jab to the ribs.

"Behave yourselves." Jennifer said sternly. "I'll pick you two up after school."

"Bye Mom." Kendall and Katie waved goodbye as their mother pulled away from the curb and left them standing amongst the crowd of students weaving into the salt-air eaten red brick building. Palm Woods High School was several miles from the ocean, deep in the valley, nestled up against the thick forest that bordered the next town.

"Well big brother, let's get this over with." Katie said and started making her way into the building.

"Wait." Kendall said.

"What?" His younger sister turned around.

"You still have another set of trumps, don't you?" Kendall accused.

"I don't know what you're talking about, big brother that I love so very much." Katie smirked. "Now come on, we have to get our class schedules."

After finding the office of the school, which combined grades 6-12 because fo the small town size, Kendall parted ways from his sister, who headed down towards the middle school section of the campus and headed for his homeroom, which according to his schedule was with a Miss Collins.

He found the classroom just as the bell rang, and Miss Collins, a short bubbly looking blonde, forced him to the front of the room and wrote his name on the board. Crap, Kendall hated this part.

"Class, we have a new student joining us today all the way from Minnesota." Yup, her voice was definitely bubbly. "This is Kendall Knight. Kendall, just take a seat and we'll start homeroom."

Kendall nodded and scoped out a vacant seat near the back, behind a buck-toothed boy with a funny pink hat and next to a blonde girl.

"Hi, I'm Jo. The guy in front of you is Timmy." The girl introduced herself quietly as Kendall sat down.

"Kendall, nice to meet you."

"No talking please!" Miss Collins' voice rang out. Jo cringed and smiled apologetically. Kendall stifled a laugh as they both turned to pretend to pay attention.

Homeroom was uneventful and just as boring as it was at his last school in Minnesota. When the bell rang for first period, Kendall stood up to leave while Jo stayed behind since Collins was her first period teacher. He walked into his first period class, Geometry, and took a seat next to a short Latino, who, oddly enough was wearing a hockey helmet.

"Does this school have a hockey team?" Kendall asked as the rest of the class began to file in.

"Yeah, tryouts are next week." The Latino replied.

"Cool. I'm Kendall."

"Carlos. You're the new kid, right?"

"Yeah, guess no escaping that." Kendall said.

"You any good?" Carlos winked, causing a slight tinge of red to come to Kendall's cheeks. He didn't get a chance to respond because class had started. Carlos did slip him a note with the tryout time and date on it with a little happy face and a phone number. Crap, was he being hit on? Kendall tried to push the thought out of his head and tried to focus on the lesson, but he kept stealing glances at Carlos, who was constantly frowning and tapping his knuckles against his helmet while he worked. It was kind of adorable. Until Kendall realized that class was over and he was leaving with two pages worth of problems and no idea how the formulas worked.

"See you later?" Carlos said tentatively as he got up to leave.

"Yeah. Thanks man." Kendall nodded and started packing up. He had one more class, history, and then lunch.

The history teacher, Mr. Crocker, was more of a crackpot than a crockpot. Conspiracy theory leaked out of this teacher's pores, and Kendall made a mental note that probably none of the information inside the textbook would be relevant on any of this teacher's exams. That, and the girls he sat next to, Rikku and Camille, told him Crocker believed the school janitor, Buddha Bob, was really a wish granting magical creature. Aside from the crackpot teacher, Kendall found Rikku and Camille really nice, and Camille offered to introduce him to someone that could help him in math during lunch.

"So how are you liking it here?" Camille asked as they walked towards the cafeteria.

"It's nice. Although I haven't had a chance to explore much. We just got here last night." Kendall said when he felt a sudden chill go up his spine. Rikku took notice and turned on her heel and dragged a girl with dark make-up, outfit accented with black lace, and equipped with a custom designed tablet into Kendall's line of vision.

"Tomoko! Stop that! It's his first day." Rikku said.

Tomoko took a black painted finger and pointed it at Kendall shakily. "You're interesting. Something's going to happen." She said in a dark voice with a smirk.

"Huh?" Kendall blinked. There was something strange about that girl, who was now dragging Rikku off towards what Kendall guessed was the cafeteria.

"See you guys later?!" Rikku called.

"That was Tomoko Nozama. She's an exchange student from Japan." Camille explained. "She's a bit…"

"Weird?" Kendall said.

"Yeah, let's go with that." Camille pushed open the door to the cafeteria, which was mostly full of students.

"So what's there to do around this town anyway?" Kendall asked as they moved through the food line, grabbing some dinosaur chicken and fish sticks.

"Well, there's the beach, the ice rink, the mall… which really isn't much of a mall, and the art gallery." Camille replied, taking some jello.

"Art gallery?" Kendall asked.

"Yeah, you'll probably get to see it today if you have art. There's a field trip. It's actually right next to the school so I guess… not really a trip, really." Camille said as she paid the cashier and led Kendall over to a table where a skinny short-haired boy in a cardigan sweater was pouring over books with a sandwich half in his mouth.

"Hi Logan, this is Kendall." Camille said cheerily as she shoved a book over and sat down, whacking the spot on the bench next to her for Kendall to join them.

"Hi." Logan looked up from his book shyly.

"Kendall's new. And he's having trouble in math so I told him you'd be the guy to ask for help." Camille said.

"Camille…" Logan opened his mouth to protest but fell silent, eyes wide. Kendall raised an eyebrow.

"Hey Kendall!" Carlos had walked up from behind him sporting a tray filled with corn dogs. "Getting help from Logan?"

"Uh…" Kendall said, glancing at Logan, whose jaw dropped as Carlos plopped his tray down and sat with them.

"Uh yea. Y-yeah. Sure. I'll … tutor you… b-but r-right now I have… this thing… bleep blap bloop." Logan stammered, pushing his things into his bag before getting up and running for the door.

"Is he gonna be OK?" Carlos asked, a worried look crossing his face.

"Oh, you know Logan." Camille sighed, an unreadable look on her face, which she erased when she turned back to Kendall. "So, have you thought about joining any clubs?"

"Yup! He's gonna try out for the hockey team!" Carlos said happily, shoving a corn dog in his mouth.

"Hockey huh?" Camille said. "Well, if you have the time, the drama club could use another guy."

"Isn't Beck the only guy currently in that club?" Carlos asked.

"Yeah, so it sucks because every play we do, no girl wants the lead role because it means you have to deal with…"

"HI!" a loud voice rang through Kendall's ears, causing him to jump and drop tater tots.

The voice came from a giggling red haired girl. Camille opened her mouth when a loud, harsh, female voice rang out through the room.

"CAT! DID YOU JUICE MY BURRITO?!"

"Uh oh. Gotta go! BYE!" The red haired girl, Cat, ran off screaming followed by an angry looking girl with green and purple highlights in black leather boots.

"With Jade. His girlfriend." Camille finished, followed by another loud scream from Cat down the hall and a loud crash.

Kendall winced. This new life was going to take some getting used to.

To Be Continued

Thanks for reading! Anyone got a guess? I'll give you a hint! Timmy, Miss Collins, and Rikku are the characters that share something.
