MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY CROSSOVER! YIPPY!
Disclaimer: If I owned MBS, Reynie x Kate would be happening and the series would still be continuing. So I don't own that. If I owned DP, I would've made the last episode be the return of Dan Phantom. So I don't own Danny Phantom, either.
Everyone knows what happened when Reynie, Kate, Sticky, and Constance took the test. Just add Team Phantom, and you get a whole new story.
Tucker Foley, techno-geek, African-American, and a hero's best friend was very angry. His parents want him to go with them to Stonetown. In fact, just to make sure he would go, they said he could invite Sam and Danny. He was still mad about it, though.
Tucker was a nice guy. He wore a red beret, a yellow tee that had sleeves that reached his elbows. His cargo pants were a dark forest green. He wore rectangular glasses that emphasized his 'geek' status.
He glanced at the PDA in his hands sadly. "No electronics," him mom had said. Tucker sighed as he set it down on his desk. Grunting, he lifted up his suit case, wishing he was as athletic as Sam. He made it half way down stairs when he heard a knock on the door.
Tucker speed up, tossed the suitcase on the couch, and ran to the door. When he opened it, he saw two familiar faces. Danny, his best friends since kindergarten, was in his signature white and red tee. His light blue jeans bagged up by his tennis shoes, which were also red and white. A blue suitcase with a NASA rocket was by his left leg. The raven haired male blinked his icy blue eyes when he saw his best friend sweating.
Sam, his friend-that's-a-girl, was in her usual out fit. Black tank that ended a bit past her rib cage, black and green skirt, and combat boots. Her black hair, as usual, was up in a half-pony. She had on her spider backpack and a black and purple suitcase. She was smiling widely.
"Hey, Tuck. See you got some exercise." The Goth joked. Tucker rolled his teal eyes as he opened the door and letting his friends in. Sam went and sat down on a cream colored chair, who was followed by Danny, who had sat down a cushion away from Tucker's suitcase. "When do we leave?"
Tucker placed his hands into his pockets and locked eyes with Sam. "A few minutes. My parents should be ready any minute." When Sam nodded, Tucker asked a question he had wanted to ask. "Why are you so happy about this? We are leaving for a new town and a new school. And we're going to be there a whole year."
Sam stared at the techno-geek with a mixture of shock, concern, but mostly, humor. "I'm happy because I can give the school this!" She pulled off her spider backpack, opened it, and showed him a piece of yellow construction paper. It read: "Don't let school rule you! Be yourself! Protest against animal abuse and carnivores!" Tucker had a panicked look on his face when read the last part, but didn't say anything.
"Tucker, son, we're ready!" His father called. Tucker glanced back, expecting to see his father, but when he didn't, he sighed, grabbed his suitcase, lightly kicked Danny's foot, and headed out to the car. Danny and Sam quickly pursued him.
One month later…
Sam sat in the living room, bored out of her mind. The school didn't like her ideas! There was nothing different from this school to Casper High. It was early morning and she had gotten up to wake up Danny, but when she didn't see the ghost hybrid in his room, she decided to do something she hasn't done for a while. Read the paper.
The Goth skipped all the main stories, those just bored her. Instead, she set about reading adds and fillers. She was reading an add for Haundas when Mrs. Foley came in.
Mrs. Foley had a soft spot for Sam. She was a nice girl and a great friend of her beloved son. So, when she saw an add on the back of the paper, she thought that would be perfect for her, her son, and Danny.
"Sam, look here." She mentioned kindly, twisting the paper and flipping it over to reveal the add. Sam leaned inward to read the add, when she finished, she smiled brightly.
"Let's do it!"
~*~ Thirty minutes later ~*~
Danny and Tucker entered the kitchen. Danny had just gotten back from an invisible patrol and wanted some breakfast. Tucker, he was just too bored without his PDA. Sam tossed him the paper with the add circled in red pen. When Tucker saw it, he shook his head. "Nuh-uh. We have enough tests at school! Do we have to?"
Danny, confused by what has Tucker upset and Sam excited, snatched the paper. Reading it, he said, "Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?" He glanced up at Tucker, then shifted his gaze to Sam. Smiling, he have a shrug. "I don't see why not."
But Danny had his suspicions. What adds were addressed to kids? As far as he knew, the only reason he even glimpsed at a paper was if the headline was, "DANNY PHANTOM SAVES KID FROM GHOST BUG," or, "INVISO-BILL TAKES DOWN A GHOST FOX!"
The Halfa looked down at his first test. It was weird. Asking questions about his personal life. Sure at first it was normal, asking math question, but then it got weird.
"Do you like to watch TV?" Was the first strange question. Danny didn't know how to answer that. Sure, he liked to. That doesn't mean he could. Most nights, he was out way past curfew chasing ghosts. So he simply put, "Yes, but I don't."
The next confused him more. "Do you like to listen to the radio?" Danny instantly put, "No." Why would he? He can't and never has, sure there was that one time with Youngblood and Ember, but he did it for a (hopeful) shot at popularity. And to save his parents.
The third wasn't as odd. "What is wrong with this statement?" Danny, hoping to gain a laugh or two from whomever was grading, put "What statement?"
The next page had a picture of a chessboard. All the pawns were in their place but a black on that was forward by two spaces. The question read, "According to the rules of chess, is this position possible?" Since Danny had no clue how to play chess, he put "Anything's possible."
The last was the worst. "Are you brave?" God, yeah. He fought ghosts on a daily basis. He sent Pariah back to sleep. He fought the Fright Knight on Halloween. Heck, he defeated a him with ten more years of experience, and was evil, and came back alive. True, Clockwork helped… but he couldn't put those on the test. Danny Fenton was a shy, clumsy, nerdy guy. Phantom was heroic, BRAVE, and courageous. Thinking it over, he settled on this, "I would like to think so."
Then he turned his test in.
Tucker glanced around his testing room. Danny was a row and two seats away, calmly completing his first test. The first few questions had been easy enough. But now, it was asking if he liked television. Who doesn't like TV? He was about to put "Duh" when, he halted. Sure, he liked to watch it, but he was always so busy helping Danny. And so, he unknowingly wrote the same answer Danny had put.
The next question was just as… weird. "Do you like to listen to the radio?" Oh, please! Who does that anymore? It's all about the PDAs and iPods now. He put, "No."
The third gave the techno-geek a bit of comfort. "What is wrong with this statement?" Easily, he put, "That isn't a statement! That's a question!"
Next was a picture of a chessboard. As Danny's, the black pawn was forward two spaces. "Is this position possible?" Tucker gave a quiet and unnoticeable laugh. "I don't know a thing about chess. I simply say 'yeah' because I feel like it!" (Tucker was very hyper that day, sorry if any of them are OOC)
Then came the mind-thinker. "Are you brave?" Tucker frowned at this question. Was he brave? Danny would say so, so would his parents. But was he, really? He stared at this question, long and hard. Hoping it was okay, he put, "I don't know."
Then he turned in his test.
Sam was seated next to a girl with a long, blonde ponytail. She seemed nice… but she was a bit too preppy. Ignoring her, she turned to her test. "Do you watch like to watch TV?" Instantly, Sam answered no. And she put the reason. "I am too busy making animal abuse protests to care about TV." 'And too busy helping Danny,' she added mentally.
Then came the question, "Do you like to listen to the radio?" Again, she put no. "No, I don't. Although, I did make a radio station one time with one of my pals, Tucker Foley."
"What is wrong with this statement?" Sam understood it instantly. They were trying to trick her. "Don't try to trick me. That's a question and you know it!" she posted.
The last, but in no way least, question came. "Are you brave?" She thought she was. After all, her, Danny, and Tucker fought ghosts on a daily basis. But, she backtracked. She never was truly afraid of any of the ghosts they had fought, with an exception of Pariah. So, she put, "Well, you must have a reason for asking that. I assume you want us to be brave. But, I'm here to say, that unless I don't pass, you'll have to wait and see."
Danny sat on a park bench, watching two girls chat. One had crazy green hair and a fluffy white dress. She was tossing her pencil carelessly up in the air, catching it each time.
It was twenty minutes until they were aloud to enter and take the second part of the test. So, if the girl dropped the pencil into the drain she was standing on, she wouldn't have time to get a new one. And, since they were only supposed to bring one pencil and one eraser, the girl wouldn't be able to take the test.
And, after her eighth toss, it fell. The girl she was hanging with smirked and walked off. The Halfa frowned and approached the girl with wild green hair. "I'm sorry about your pencil." He said honestly. The girl gave him a weak smile, bending down, and attempted to reach in for it. But, the drain was almost six feet deep.
"You don't happen to have another, do you?" Danny shook his head. He didn't. He followed the rules. This girl did, too. But she was careless. He heard her huff with anger. "Great."
Danny took a quick look at his (new) watch. It was red with a black clock that had white numbers. Nine minutes. "I wish there was something I could do."
The girl looked up at Danny, he put a hand on her shoulder. The instant they touched, Danny felt her emotions. A mix of success and… curiosity. Why was she feeling successful? Going on a theory, he asked, "Do you have another pencil?"
The question caught the girl be surprise. Slowly, she got up and dusted off her now-grayish dress. "Yes, I do."
Danny smiled. He was getting good at this empathy thing. Thank you, Phoebe! "That's good." He looked at his watch. Only seven minutes. He turned to head in when she placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks for… being concerned. Hey, wanna know something?" She gave him mischievous eyes. Her excitement and other positive emotions made Danny happy; so he said sure. The girl leaned in and whispered into his ear, "I have the test answers. If you sit behind me, you can glance over my shoulder."
Danny pulled away. This girl wanted him to cheat? He had sworn never to cheat after the Dan incident. Now, this girl was offering him answers to a stupid test that he felt he was going to pass. "No." he said.
"Are you sure? I mean, this would guarantee—"
"Look, I don't cheat. I won't tell on you, that'd be rude, but I won't cheat." The girl looked at him awed. He had turned down (fake) guarantee of passing. Not only that, he was serious about it!
"Okay." She said, hiding a smile.
With only five minutes to get in, he never noticed a freckled boy standing a ways away, another girl walk up to Mrs. Green-haired. And he didn't notice her taking out another pencil and begin to toss it.
Danny entered the testing room nervously. It was five minutes until the actual test began and he was already nervous. This test felt very important. He couldn't explain it, but he just had to pass.
He sat there in deep thought for a few minutes, waiting for the girl to enter. He had chosen a seat in the front row, just in case. It was thirty-seconds until the test began and she still hadn't entered.
Four-seconds till, a boy about Danny's age entered, followed by the girl. He grinned when she made it in. The boy chose the open seat next to Danny and the girl sat behind him. "That was close," she whispered to the boy.
A women dressed in all yellow and who had bright red hair emerged into the classroom. Danny remembered her from the other test, in which him and Tucker had taken. They were the only ones who got to go to the second phase.
Back to yellow suit… she reminded Danny of a demon he had helped Bonnie vanquish. A… Jaboohazer, was it? It was some new race of dragon, she told him. So, Danny call the women Mrs. Jabozle. (A/N) Danny needed to give her a funny name… that's where I ran out of ideas.) "There will be no talking!" she boomed. She headed to her front desk. Then Danny noticed the big jar of pickles she had. "If any child is caught cheating, then he or she will be executed—"
A series of sharp gasps escaped the children's mouths.
"I'm sorry, did I say executed? I meant to say escorted. Any child caught cheating will be escorted from the building at once." She paused, noting the semi-calmer faces. "Now then, are you all relaxed? It's important to be relaxed when taking such an extremely difficult test as this, especially considering how long it is and how very little time you'll have to complete it."
Danny flinched when a groan came from the back of the room. "You there!" Mrs. Jobozle exclaimed, pointing a finger. A girl was there. Quickly, her face went as white as a ghost. "I said no talking. Do you wish to leave now?"
"But I only groaned!" she protested instantly. Danny was predicting some of the many responses Mrs. Jobozle could say.
"Do you mean to suggest that saying, 'But I only groaned!' doesn't count as talking?"
The girl sank into her seat, barely shaking her head. "Very well, let this be a warning to you. To all of you. From this moment on there will be no talking, period." She took a deep breath then continued, "Now then, are there any questions?"
Danny mentally dared someone to raise their hand. Sure enough, the boy next to him raised his hand. "Reynard Muldoon, you have a question?" He held up a broken pencil. He made a sharpening motion with the other hand. "Very well, you may use the pencil sharpener on my desk." She said dryly.
Reynard stood up and walked to the sharpener. He began, stopped, checked the tip, and then began to twist it again. Then he rushed back to his seat.
Danny didn't notice the green haired girl slipping out a small sheet of paper. And if he did, he would've looked away instantly.
"You have one hour to finish your test and you must follow these directions exactly." She inhaled. "First, write your name at the top of the test. Second, read all the questions and answers carefully. Third, choose the correct answers by circling the appropriate letter. Fifth—"
'Wait,' Danny thought, 'where's the fourth?'
"— bring the completed test to me. Sixth, return to your seat and wait until all the tests have been graded, at which time I will announce the names of those who pass."
Both Danny and Reynard raised their hands. Mrs. Jobozle, having already let Reynie do something, called on Danny. The Halfa pointed to his mouth. "You may speak. What's your question?"
"What about the fourth step, ma'am?"
She simply smiled and answered, "There is no fourth step. Are there anymore questions?"
No one moved. No one spoke. So, she continued on. "To pass this test, you must correctly answer every question correctly, by which I mean every single question. If you skip even a single question, or answer on incorrectly, you will fail and not be permitted to continue."
Danny hear Rhonda whisper to Reynard, "No problem."
Mrs. Jobozle's eyes shot daggers at the pair.
Danny, who had wondered why on Earth she would speak, came to a logical assumption. Had the girl offered him test answers after he refused? That would explain why he was so nervous. The Halfa's attention fell back onto Mrs. Jobozle. (A/N) I can't get over how lame the name I came up with sounds…)
"You may begin the test as soon as you receive it." She turned around to face her desk. He almost laughed. Almost. The woman began passing out the tests.
The first to receive it was a bulky, Dash-like boy. One look at the test made him burst into tears. The next was a girl, who resembled Star, glanced at her test, blinked a few times, and then looked again.
"If you feel you might faint, place your head between your knees and take a few deep breaths. If you think you might vomit, there is a trash can in the front." She walked up and down rows, casually handing out tests. "If you feel you need to leave the room, close the door on your way out. Your sobs may bother the other test-takers."
Danny watched as Reynard received his test. He looked so nervous. Danny swore that if a ghost suddenly appeared, the boy might just break down crying. Then, he recived the test.
The first question was more torture than staying with Mr. Lancer after school.
The territories of the Naxcivan Autonomous Republic and the Nargo-Karabakh region ate disputed by what two countries?
Danny glanced at the answer choices and began to sweat. How was he supposed to know if was Bhutan, or Azerbaijan, or Vanuatu? He hadn't even heard of those countries! Danny, randomly trying his luck, circled B. It felt right. He didn't know why, but the choice just seemed obvious, even though he had no clue where Azerbaijan was.
It went like this through the entire test. He would read all the answers, and when his eye settled on an answer choice, he chose it. He was one-third the way through when he noticed Reynard's face light up.
Halfway through, the green haired girl stood up and turned in her test. Once she did, Mrs. Jobozle nodded her head slightly when she came to the first question. Then, the girl passed between his and Reynard's desk, slipping out two pieces of paper. Reynard, Danny noted, moved his foot over to the sheet of paper. He stomped on it soundlessly and moved his foot back, not glancing a single time at the paper.
Danny mimicked his movement, dragged the sheet of paper over. Cautiously, he glanced around. No one was watching. He phased the sheet into the ground and continued his test the same way he had been taking it.
Rhonda noticed that as the boy placed his foot on the answer sheet, he glanced around nervously. She had assumed he'd cheat. But he didn't. The test answers simply vanished. She made a mental note to tell Mr. Benedict about this later…
Reynard turned in his test ten minutes after Rhonda. Danny, five minutes after that. They waited for their tests to be graded.
"Pencils! Time's up, children. Set down your pencils, please." All the remaining kids got up and placed their tests on her desk. Nods came and gone as she graded swiftly. When she reached Danny's test, he was sure he would fail. But he got nod, nod, nod, all the way through the test.
"Nicely done!" The girl whispered to him. Reynard raised an eyebrow. "You did it on without cheating!"
Then was Reynard's test, he got the same thing. "Nice work, you managed it on your own!" Rhonda commented to him.
Mrs. Jobozle stood. "I shall read now the names of those who passed the test. If your name is called you shall continue onto the third stage, and so, you are to remain seated and await further instructions. Those not called are free to go."
'Third stage?' Danny whinnied in his mind. He sooooo didn't want to take another test.
"Reynard Muldoon and Daniel Fenton!" She began to head out, and when she was half way out, she called, "That's all."
Tucker glanced around, watching over half of his test-mates flee the room after receiving the test. All he did was stare at it. If you organized the way things were said, it would reveal the answer. On number one, the first answer choice started with B. so he chose B. He did this throughout the test. Tucker sure showed that Rhonda girl he didn't need the answer.
Yellow lady rose from her seat. She had, about an hour ago, called for tests; and she was done grading. "I will now announce the names of those who move onto the third phase." Pause for dramatic effect, "Tucker Foley." She walked calmly to the door, but paused halfway. "That is all."
Sam eyes her test distrustfully. It was just too hard. There had to be something more behind it. She was on number 19, and wasn't ready to give up. Holding back a moan, she flipped the page.
She blinked. Could her eyes be deceiving her? Was it really real? Was the answer to question one in question 20? She flipped back. Yes. It was. This wasn't a real test. It was a puzzle. Calmly, she finished her test. Without once glancing at the crumbled piece of answer sheet.
Ten minutes after she turned it in, Amarillo Señoreta (1) called in for tests. An hour later, she announced who would continue onto the third stage. Her and the Kate girl from her first test, and just so happened to pass because of another ordeal that Sam was curious about, were the only ones who made it.
Yellow Women
YES! Okay, this is another free one because I have to do a class project where I completely change a story, and I'm doing a crossover. So, if it turns out nicely, this'll be updated about once or twice a week. Possibly more, possibly less. If it doesn't work out, consider this a One-Shot or Two-Shot, possibly Three-Shot.
Oh, Danny and Reynie want you to press that little blue button. It's right under this, so move mousie, move to the button and click!
