Hi. I am probably WAY TOO OLD to be invested in Henry Danger, but I've loved that show for a while now and recently had an idea for a Chenry fanfic, so here we are. Seasons 1 through current (Cactus Con) will be the universe, but from here to the future, it's all my brainchild. Hopefully, it's enjoyable. I have no idea what type of audience this is for, but hopefully someone enjoys it. Let me know. BTW - do folk still say, "I don't own Henry Danger or profit off of the use"? There.
Danger Notice
They knew this day would eventually come - and considering that Charlotte Page had once been used by a teacher as a standardized test cheat sheet to her peers, her being the valedictorian was no surprise either. But, for some reason, her two best friends seemed very taken aback when she put in her notice at Junk N' Stuff, because she was getting ready to go away to college.
"Away to college?" Henry Hart repeated, after her.
"Right. Like… A very prestigious institute that is unfortunately not located inside of Swellview," she clarified.
"But, you don't have to go there, right?" Jasper asked.
She blinked her eyes. "I don't have to do anything. I want to go there, because it's an awesome opportunity and I can possibly become one of the world's greatest minds while I'm there."
Henry and Jasper both nodded, understanding. She was relieved until Henry followed up with, "But, you're not going to move away and leave this job, though."
"I definitely am," she assured him.
Jasper wondered, "So, you have to go there!" She sighed. She would not miss this. Of the things that she would miss, these circular conversations that she was the only one keeping up with was nowhere on the list.
Moments later, their boss Ray stepped into the Man Cave, seemingly excited about something that he was going to announce, but Henry quickly cut him off with a silencing noise, "Da-da-da-da-da… Ray!" He stopped suddenly, wondering if something was in his hair. Not my precious hair! "So… You should soon be reading an email from Charlotte," Henry heavily enunciated her name, "About her putting in her two weeks notice, to go leave this job when she goes away to college."
Ray was momentarily relieved that this wasn't about his hair, but then quickly became angry, "AWAY to college?"
"Why is that difficult for everyone?" Charlotte asked, mostly herself.
"I mean, do you HAVE to go?" Ray followed up his question. Henry and Jasper both gave knowing looks That was precisely how they saw it.
Charlotte cut this circle in half. "Yep. I have to. Sorry, Ray. No getting out of it." She shrugged her shoulders.
"Oh, we're gonna get you out of it!" he promised.
"No, no. YOU stay out of it," she warned. "I don't need any help from any of you. Can't we just enjoy the last couple of weeks that I have here, working together and being friends?" She smiled, hoping that the three would drop it, lest they sabotage her dreams. Just her luck, Schwoz entered, holding a pail of something that she was certain she didn't want to know about.
"Guess what Charlotte is thinking about!" Ray said, also enunciating her name.
"Not thinking about. Doing. It's a done deal…" She said softly.
"Leaving us!" Ray pouted, crossing his arms. Schwoz dropped the pail and several odd oblongs slapped the floor.
"My jelly balls!" he whined.
"I'll help you pick those…" Charlotte began, but they appeared to be moving on their own, so she decided against it.
"You see that? He's dropped his jelly balls, Charlotte!" Henry complained.
"That was Ray's fault. Schwoz wouldn't have dropped those blobs if he'd said, 'Guess what - Charlotte is fortunate enough to have the chance to go to college away from Swellview.'"
"How will you work here and go to college away from Swellview?" Schwoz wondered, finally collecting those moving jellies. Charlotte simply looked off into the distance and thought of about a dozen memes that she wished she could flash them right now.
"Well, if nobody has anything positive while we work today, I might as well head out," she announced.
"OH! Now, you don't even wanna spend your last two weeks with us?" Henry asked.
"I WANT my closest friends to congratulate me and wish me well. I want my boys to say "Way to go, Charlotte. We're proud of you!"
Jasper nodded his head, "Way to go Charlotte. We're proud of you!"
"Thanks, Jasper." Henry and Ray groaned and glared at him for that.
"Don't encourage her, Jasper. Make it hard!" Ray said, shaking his head in disbelief that he had to explain this.
Jasper frowned, "But, she's our friend and she seems happy about it."
"I was," she mumbled. "I'm gonna head out," she told them, with a sigh. "Good luck with whatever those jelly things are, Schwoz." She shook her head, frustrated with Ray and Henry, mostly Henry, and got on to the pad. "Up the tube," she said in a sad voice.
Henry sighed and threw his head back, "We gotta fix that, Dude," he told Ray.
"Fix Charlotte trying to leave? Definitely. What if we blow up the institute, like we did the Frittle factory?"
"No. I mean, we gotta make sure that she doesn't hate us when she leaves. I mean, Jasper's right. She's a friend. She really wants this science nerd school thing."
Ray kicked his feet in disagreement. "Dude! Remember that time that we messed up her inventor contest? Or the time I messed up her getting into the L.I.M.P. program?"
"We fixed all of that!" Ray insisted.
"I mean… We fixed it, but we didn't Charlotte fix it."
"She's very high maintenance!" Schwoz inserted.
Henry shrugged, "Is she? She puts up with a lot from us, I think?"
Jasper nodded in agreement. "From you and Ray, definitely."
Henry scratched the back of his own ear, "Ya mind not helping, Jasp? You're not good at speaking Ray." Jasper made a confused face, but shut up. Henry turned to Ray again and said, "We need to at least let her think we support this dream of hers. If I know my Charlotte, she'll do what's best for me, in the long run."
"So, we don't blow up the institute?"
"We won't have to. Look, she might leave Captain Man, but she's not leaving Kid Danger."
Ray nodded for a moment before realizing what was said and shouted, "Hey!"
"You're the hard time giver, Ray. Face it."
"I treat that little girl like the best worker in this place!" he fussed.
"She is, but… Do you?" Henry asked, his voice going a little high pitched.
"Okay. okay. You fix it, then. And Charlotte better not leave this place!" Ray fussed.
"She won't," Henry said. Ray left, flustered and Henry turned to Jasper, "Charlotte's totally leaving us."
"But you just said…"
"I had to convince Ray not to blow up her college."
"What… are we gonna do without Charlotte?" Jasper seriously wondered.
"Captain Man had a working operation before me or Charlotte ever got here," Henry said, then realized something, "OH… What are we gonna do?" He sighed. He had never thought about life without Charlotte, before. He never thought that he would ever have to.
