These OCs do not, I repeat DO NOT, belong to me. They belong to these people:
MinakoJupiter: Dawne
Cloud Hawk: Trayos
Pink Panther 9.7: Tyrannis and Lee
Miss Dedodakes: Rondana and Kellesey
I do own Shadow. Read these peoples stories if you want background information.
The Academy
Shadow couldn't believe her ears. Aerrow's words made no sense to her at all.
"What?!" She cried. Her cousin sighed, along with the other Storm Hawks.
"The Sky knight council said if we wanted to become official, we had to go back to high school, only for a short while-"He was cut of when Shadow interrupted again.
"And you said YES?!! ARE YOU INSANE?! I'VE NEVER HEARD OF HIGH SCHOOL, MUCH LESS BEEN TO ONE" She shouted. Piper covered her mouth to keep her from shouting.
"Either that or give up the Condor. The Sky knight council only wants us to be there for a short while, only a couple of months or something" She reasoned. Shadow flopped down into a chair.
"Well, at least we get to keep the Condor" He suggested meekly. Shadow looked up at him angrily.
"HAVE YOU ALL GONE DAFFY?!HIGH SCHOOL IS THE CENTER OF PURE EVIL!" She cried. Her young griffin, named the obvious Griffey, padded over and gently nudged her ankle. She reached down to pet him.
"You are all crazy. I've never been to a public school in my entire life. I don't even remember school and expect me to understand what they are teaching us?" She asked, more calmly. Finn appeared from around the corner and snickered.
"Yeah, they expect you to understand. I suggest you ignore them and not to use textbooks as pillows. They're hard" He said sarcastically. Shadow shot him a nasty look.
"It's not that hard Shadow. I find school easy" Piper said. Shadow looked up at her.
"That's because you're a nerd!" She shouted gleefully. Piper's face reddened.
"Why you!" She spat, lunging at the trainee. But Shadow was seven steps ahead of her and was already running away.
"Get back here!" Piper roared, speeding after Shadow. Aerrow shook his head. This wasn't the best idea, but it was all they could do to stay the Storm Hawks.
Later, Shadow was dragging her bags up the stairs to the attic dorm room. She was assigned there because she wasn't paying for the lodging: The council was. She mumbled nasty words under her breath as the bag thumped methodically up the stairs. Griffey babbled happily in her bag.
What's school like? Can I come too? Do you know any of the teachers yet? Where are we going? Are we going to live here for six months? He asked. Shadow huffed up the stairs, ignoring him. She couldn't wait for six months to be over. In addition to her school time ending, the Storm Hawks would be official, she would be smarter and she could slide down the stairs on her heavy suitcase. Now that would be worthwhile.
When she finally reached the top of the stairs, she heard voices. Aw man, she thought. I have to share a room with several people! Shadow, with her hands full, struggled to open the door with her toe. It clicked open and three girls sat on a bed. One had black hair that had a crimped look to it and midnight blue eyes. She knew the girl all too well.
"Rondana! I didn't know you went to school here!" She shouted gleefully. Rondana looked up at her and smiled back. She outstretched her arms, hugging Shadow.
"Shadow! I didn't know you went to this school either! What are you doing here?" She asked happily. Shadow rolled her eyes.
"Sky Knight Council made a deal with us. If we all went back to school for six months, we could be official. So far, this place smells funny" She replied. She noticed a small coughing noise and looked around Rondana. Her heart sank.
"Oh sweet mother of the goddesses… Don't tell me Kellesey is taking classes here too?!" Shadow asked. Rondana looked back at the evil, pink wearing demon child and sighed.
"There is an elementary school nearby and Ashelle is pretty busy brushing up on current time with my mother. And my father is still drunk, so we got dumped here together" She explained.
"I'm scared" Shadow whispered, causing the young princess to giggle. Kellesey walked over to Shadow.
"If my servants were here, I'd tell them to throw you out" She said flatly. Shadow bent her knees until she was level with the blond eight year old.
"Guess what? You aren't in Pathologica anymore. That means, unless a teacher catches me, you'll have regular check ups with mister Swirly. How does that sound?" She said, her voice dripping in fake sweetness. Kellesey stared at her intently.
"Little girl, I've won staring competitions with a wall. Don't challenge me, I'll kick your butt" Shadow laughed. The little girl scoffed and walked away. Shadow caught sight of the other girl. She had silver hair and purple eyes. Shadow extended her hand.
"I'm sorry for being rude. My name's Shadow" She said. The other girl shook it.
"Dawne. Do these two usually argue like that?" Dawne asked, gesturing to Rondana and Kellesey, who had picked up their argument right where they left it.
"It's so much worse when they think no ones watching. But, heck, it's entertaining" Shadow chuckled. Dawne smiled. Shadow felt secure now that she had some friends to talk to.
The next day at school, Shadow was shown her school uniform. It was the ugliest thing ever made.
"I'm supposed to wear that?!" She asked indignantly. It was a skirt. A plaid, ugly skirt. It looked like had been attacked by color blind children who could draw in amazingly straight lines. Well, it did to Shadow, who hated all things feminine.
"Well, what else are you supposed to wear? Pajamas?" Dawne said sarcastically. Shadow looked at her.
"That'll work!" She shouted. Later, the girls had all forced her to put it on. They threatened to draw a mustache on Griffey's beak if she didn't do it. He had little black dots on his face from when Shadow got too stubborn. She walked uncomfortably, occasionally pulling the edge of her skirt down. Rondana sighed after she dropped Kellesey off at her elementary school.
"Shadow, what are you doing?" She asked.
"I'm not used to air circulating in spots I like to keep covered!" Shadow hissed. Dawne snickered and Shadow whirled around to face her.
"It's-whoa" Air blasted up into her skirt" It's not funny!" She shouted. But Rondana and Dawne were laughing away.
"Hey Shadow!" Aerrow called from far off. Shadow ran over to greet him.
"Hey guys! Guess what?! Rondana comes here too!"She said happily. Finn pooped up from behind Aerrow.
"Really?!" he asked excitedly. Rondana waved cheerily.
"Rondana!" Finn cried, running over and sweeping her into a hug. Rondana hugged back. Then Shadow noticed someone was missing. Several some ones.
"Where are Piper, Junko, Stork and Radarr?" She asked. Junko shambled out of a dark spot, his uniform stretched over his bulky build. He looked pretty uncomfortable.
"I wanna go home" He whimpered. Shadow hugged her large friend.
" You and me both, big guy" Shadow whispered, shivering as another gust of wind blew past. She could already hear whistles. Turning to face a bunch of seniors, she made some rude hand gestures. The boys just laughed and ran off.
Good morning everybody! I made some new friends in my dorm!" Piper said, strolling over to the others. She smiled at everyone and Shadow noticed her notebooks had unicorns all over them. Dawne smirked.
"Unicorns? Are you kidding me?" She snickered. Piper shot her a nasty look.
"Who are you?" She asked. Shadow quickly introduced her before this got ugly.
"Uhhhhhhhh…. This is Dawne. I share the attic room with her and Rondana and Kellesey" She explained. Piper's eyes widened.
"Kellesey? HERE! At high school?" She squeaked.
"No, she's going to the elementary school nearby. Chill out Piper she isn't poisonous" Shadow told her.
"She is probably carrying some kind of disease. Or mind worms" Stork said from a corner. Shadow felt bad for him. His merb like behavior would chase off any friends he made. But then again, all the Storm Hawks loved him to be around.
"Hey Stork. Good Morning" Shadow said. Stork shrugged.
"It is if you want to catch a cold or be abducted by owl flies" He said flatly. His mood wasn't helped when Radarr came streaking up his leg, closely followed by a bunch of freshmen trying to make a statement. Shadow hurled a rock at one of them, causing him to fall over.
"Beat it, idiots!" she called. The jerks just ran off, except the one she hit in the head, who was still shocked a girl had beat him at something.
"Are you deaf?! I said beat it!" Shadow shouted again. The boy scrambled to his feet and ran back to his friends, who were laughing at him.
"The new girl's a psycho!" He shouted. Shadow narrowed her eyes. She wasn't afraid of a bunch of idiot. What did they expect her to do? Just watch?!
That's right, Shadow can kick your ass so fast it'll make your head spin! Radar chirped. Shadow shot him a 'watch your language' look. Radarr just rolled his eyes.
"Well, I have to go! Sophomores and freshman don't mix" Piper said cheerily, grabbing Aerrow by his arm. Apparently, they had all their classes together. Radarr scampered after them, waving to Finn, who was still talking to Rondana.
"Bye! I'll see you later!" Finn shouted to Rondana, who was waving back. Dawne just stood their watching them say their farewells.
"Okie dokie, lets get going!" She said. Shadow nodded, clutching her books to her chest. The school seemed so big. She looked around, taking in the sights. Suddenly, a tall boy caught her eye. He had dark hair and deep blue eyes. He noticed Shadow looking at smiled at her. Shadow felt her cheeks grow warm. He was looking at her? But, she wasn't paying attention to what she was doing and didn't see the pole two feet in front to her.
THNK! Shadow slammed right into it, her books flying everywhere. Several girls giggled and the jerk she hit with a rock roared with laughter. She scrambled to pick up her books.
"You forgot this one. My names Trayos" The boy said, leaning to help her pick up her fallen school supplies. Shadow felt like she wanted to crawl under a rock and die. She had run into a freaking pole!
"Uh… Thanks, bye!" She said briskly, almost snatching her book out of hand. She ran to catch up with Dawne and Rondana, who were waiting for her.
"You ran into a POLE!" Dawne sniggered. Shadow grimaced and walked forward. Rondana patted he on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'll bet by tomorrow, everyone will forget about this!" She said hopefully. Shadow turned to her.
"How much do ya wanna bet?" She asked sarcastically.
