1. All for a chocolate bar?

Dax Jones sighed and glanced at Gideon. His best friend seemed just as bored as he was. Dax slammed his forehead on the desk, praying that the class would pass by already. He was desperate to fly—it seemed as though the sky was calling for him. He could already feel the adrenaline rush that he always felt whenever flying in falcon form.

He closed his eyes, imagining the soft wind beating at his feathers, imagining the sound of it, and then the sound of his best mate calling down for him. Dax drowsed, images of being in the water, now, filling his mind. Then he fell asleep completely. The one dream that conquered his mind was that of being able to be all three forms at the same time. A fox, a falcon, an otter…All at the same time…

'Dax?' Dax heard someone whisper in his ear. He stirred but his eyes were still closed. 'Dax, mate, wake up! Hurry up, Mrs Dann might see us. Dax? Dax? Daxy-boy?'

'What do you want, Gideon?' Dax grumbled and blinked his eyes open. Gideon seemed like a blurry image to Dax.

'Mate, if Mrs Dann sees you sleeping in class, you'll get in trouble,' Gid whispered.

Dax grunted. 'Gid, can you do me a favor?' he asked. Gideon grinned.

'Sure, what is it?' he said.

'Break the window or something,' Dax said. 'Do something—anything—so we can get rid of this boring Geography class.'

Gideon nodded. 'Good idea,' he said. 'Hmm, but they could discover if it was us, you know. Mrs Satre could feel it.'

'Yeah so?' said Dax. He was desperately trying to stop his eyelids from drooping. 'Look, mate,' he said, 'I'm tired. I had to…er…do something last night and I can't focus now so you making something explode would be great.'

Gideon hesitated. 'I don't know…'

'If you don't do it, I'll steal all your chocolate,' Dax snapped. Exhaustion was taking over his mind and body, making him angry. 'C'mon, Gid, you're bored, I'm bored, the entire class is bored—even Mrs Dann is trying not to fall asleep. All you have to is, I don't know, break the glass or something.'

'Um…' Gideon grinned and pouted. Dax knew from his friend's expression what he wanted.

'Fine,' he said. 'I'll give you all my chocolate, OK? You can have all of it.'

'Even the one from Italy? You know the Chauo one?'

'Yeah, yeah, sure,' Dax agreed, nodding his head. Gideon grinned and whooped silently.

'But I'll need some help,' he said, glancing at his brother, Luke, seated at the desk next to them. Luke was actually paying attention to the film Mrs Dann had put for them about some country.

Gideon leaned in to Luke, whispering something. Dax couldn't make out all of it but what he understood was, '…and we'll get the best chocolate ever' and he chuckled. Obviously, Gideon was more interested in the chocolate rather than getting rid of the class. You could tell Gideon to do just about anything for chocolate.

'Gideon!' Mrs Dann glared at him. 'No talking in class.' Gideon leaned back from Luke and apologised. Mrs Dann accepted the apology with a vague nod—Dax was right. Even Mrs Dann was bored.

'Well?' he whispered to Gideon. 'What'd Luke say? I mean, what'd he sign back?'

Gideon waited for Mrs Dann to refocus her attention to the little TV in the room, and then he said, 'Actually he wrote it on a note. Apparently, he isn't that interested in the movie.'

'Well?' Dax said again.

Gideon grinned. 'He's agreed to do some little tragedy so we can get rid of class. But he also said that if Mrs Dann or Mrs Satre find that out, we have to take the blame.'

Dax nodded. 'All right, I don't care; I just want to be DaxFox.'

Gideon stared at him. 'Why are you so cranky mate?'

'I told you—something happened last night and I came back from my foxtrot pretty late.'

'Oh, OK, then.'

'So, what're you two going to do?' Dax asked.

'Um.' Gideon pursed his lips, thoughtful. 'Have any ideas?'

'How about…Can you throw a rock from outside to break the window?' Dax said, sitting up in his chair.

'What?' Gideon stared at him.

'Can't you, you know, just make a stone or something fly out of nowhere and break the window? That way, maybe they won't find out. At least not now anyway.'

'Well...'

'Chocolate,' Dax said. 'Think about chocolate.'

''Course I can!' Gideon said. Dax smiled. 'All right then, what to use, what to use…' His eyes shifted to the window, searching for something to use. He grinned. Dax peered out the window and saw a branch coming from a tall tree, right next to the window. Dax nodded and returned the grin.

Gideon nudged Luke who saw the branch and nodded as well. The two twins concentrated on it and soon it swung like a baseball bat, breaking the glass.

There were gasps and many of the other Colas had jerked up in their seats. They looked in amazement at the broken shards. Mrs Dann's eyes widened. Gideon and Luke put expressions of fake amazement. Dax pretended to be gaping at it.

'What just happened?' Lisa demanded, narrowing her eyes. Then she looked at Gideon and said in a low voice, 'Oh.'

Dax bit his lip as Lisa opened her mouth to tell Mrs Dann who was checking the window for anything suspicious. No, wait, Lisa! Dax sent. Lisa turned to him. Wait, don't! Please, don't do it.

She narrowed her eyes further. Why not? Wait—don't tell me you have something to do with it too?

Well…

Lisa stared in amazement at him and shook her head. Fine, then. I won't say anything but don't think that Mrs Dann won't find out.

Dax sighed in relief and grinned. Thanks, he sent.

Yeah, yeah, Lisa sent back, rolling her dark blue eyes. She said something quietly to Mia, who nodded and stared at Dax. Dax snorted and sent, Hey! Did you just tell Mia?

Yeah, so? Lisa sent back. I might as well tell the entire class if I wanted to. And anyway she won't tell.

Fine, but don't tell anyone else, please. Lisa rolled her eyes again, but nodded anyway.

'OK, I have no idea what happened so,' Mrs Dann said, 'I guess we'll have to get someone to fix the window. Until then, you're dismissed, I guess.' The Colas whooped and turned around. Gideon and Dax were talking quietly when Mrs Dann called, 'Gideon. Did you two do this?' Gideon shook his head.

'No, miss,' he said simply. He and Dax rushed out of the room, laughing uncontrollably.

'Nice move,' Dax said. Gideon giggled and nodded.

'I know,' he said, sounding smug. 'I'm simply amazing.'

Dax shoved his best friend and laughed again. 'Well, then, time to go for a dip. See you later, Gid.'

Gid nodded, grinning as Dax ran down the hallway and out of the window which was open wide. Dax let himself fall first, and then immediately shifted to the falcon. He gave a cry of joy and got to the ground, shifting to DaxFox.

He ran, lightly, towards the lake and without hesitation jumped in, shifting to the otter. Ah, the water felt good…

Dax woke up with a yawn. He stared all over the place and spotted his best friend's blond head under quilt. Dax heard a soft snoring from it. He smiled to himself and glanced at clock on the wall. Hmm, 6.45 a.m. and it was Saturday. It was only the beginning of the day and yesterday's little 'stunt' came back to Dax's mind. Together a feeling of being caught. What if Mrs Satre or Mrs Dann found out? Then what? Would they ground Dax and Gideon? Not because of the glass (although they won't be pleased about that either) but about Gideon using Cola power in class.

Dax shook his head, finally realising how stupid yesterday's stunt had been. He could get in trouble. They could forbid him to shift and…

But they couldn't do that—clearly they remembered what had happened last time when he had been forbidden to shift. Right? But they could probably do something much worse and Gideon could get in big trouble.

Dax bit his lip. He fell asleep again, obviously still tired from that night.

When he awoke again, it was to a pounding on the door. He shot straight up in his bed and shifted to the fox. Immediately he could smell the person at the door.

Uh oh.

It was clearly Mrs Satre and with her, Mrs Dann.

Dax shifted back to DaxBoy and looked desperately at Gideon who was still comatose in his bed.

'Gid,' Dax whispered, urgently. Gideon stirred and grunted. 'Gid, mate, wake up.'

'Idon'twanna wake upppp,' Gideon murmured.

'Gid, they know,' Dax said. 'Mrs Dann and Mrs Satre know! We're in trouble.'

'Savemetabakedbeans fouh later, Daaad ,' Gideon grumbled.

'Gid, they know,' Dax muttered, gritting his teeth in frustration. He grabbed the pillow he had and threw it as hard as he could at Gideon's face. Gideon got up in a sitting position groggily, grunting and mumbling this like, 'Hey why'd you wake me up?' and 'I was sleeping, you know' but he shut up when he heard the pounding too. His green eyes widened and he stared at Dax mouthing, 'What do we do now?'

Dax shook his head. He figured they should tell them—they couldn't run away now, could they?

'We could tell them,' Dax suggested, not believing his own words.

Gideon stared at him. 'No way,' he shook his head, 'no way.'

'But we're already caught!' Dax insisted.

'Gideon!' called a voice from outside. Dax recognized it as Mrs Satre's.

'Gid,' Dax said.

'Fine! Erm…Yes, Mrs Satre?' Gideon called back, nervously.

'We have to talk to both you!' This was Mrs Dann sounding angrier than ever. Gideon and Dax gulped.

'Um…What about?' said Gideon.

'You know what,' Mrs Dann growled.

'Um…Actually we don't, miss,' Dax said.

'Both of you out—now!'

Dax and Gideon got up, gulping, their eyes wide with fear. They were in trouble. Deep trouble.

'So, may I ask what made you want to that, Gideon?' Lisa asked, giggling hysterically after what they had told her about what had happened in the principal's office. Mia smiled at them sympathetically, but Dax could she was trying not to laugh.

Gideon nodded at Dax, accusingly. 'He bribed me with chocolate!' he said.

'Chocolate?' Mia snorted, unable to contain her laughter any more.

'Hey! It was Chauo chocolate! Do you have any idea how delicious that chocolate is? And how rare?'

'Oh, now, Gideon's become a chocolate expert,' Lisa giggled. 'Hey, you have put on some weight.' She poked him and he shoved her off, huffing.

'Ha ha, laugh all you want, Hardman,' he muttered, glaring at Dax. Dax shrugged and had to laugh at his friend's expression of anger. The punishment Mrs Dann and Mrs Satre had given him was torture, according to Gideon. No chocolate for an entire week.

Not even one single bite.

And three days had already passed. Poor Gideon.

Dax slapped Gideon's back and said, 'Sorry mate. 'S not my fault you're so…so…chocolate-bribable.'

'Yeah, yeah,' Gideon said. Dax grinned and got a bar of chocolate from his pocket. Gideon's eyes widened and he took the chocolate, staring at it. 'Thanks mate,' he whispered. He grinned and ate it greedily. 'I want more!' he said over a mouthful of chocolate and the three Colas fell laughing.

I know this is pretty much the most horrible of things I've ever written, but even a year after, I don't mind reviews!
