Disclaimer: I own nothing but Alli and her clone.
CLONE ATTACK
The wind whipped through long dark brown curls as Alli ran towards the bus stop, her first day of school at Sky High and she was already late. Damn that infernal alarm clock! Who knew that an alarm clock could also suffer from jet lag. She saw the bright yellow bus begin to pull away from the curb. Holding out her right hand, Alli summoned up a force field. It stopped the bus with a loud CLUNK. Heaving a sigh of relief, she hurried onto the bus and attempted to locate an empty seat.
Alli felt a hand tap her on the shoulder. Before she could turn around, a small brown blur leapt from her bag and attacked who ever was behind her. C.A.! (Clone attack). Alli looked down at the young red head being mauled by her little brown cat, before she could offer assistance a boy with light brown hair rushed to the girl's aid.
"What the hell!" he yelled. "Why did your cat attack my girlfriend?"
Alli grinned as she bent down to pick up the cat winding it's self around her legs.
"Everyone knows you can't sneak up on an Australian before they've let the cat out of the bag" she replied.
Tucking the smirking cat under her arm, Alli located an empty seat next to a leather clad grump. Having a good look at the long haired hot grump next to her, Alli raised an eyebrow and thought to her self 'Damn he fine!'
"What did you just say?" he asked. Looking at her as if she had three heads.
"Um…did I say that or think it?" Alli inquired.
"You just said Damn he fine" replied hottie grump
"Take it as a complement" grinned Alli.
Hottie just grunted before staring at Alli's cat, which was staring right back at him.
"Why are you bringing your cat to school?" he asked
Alli looked at the cat; then back at hot boy.
"She deserves an education too, she filled out the application forms her self" she stated firmly.
Hot boy looked back at the cat, he noticed that it had raised an eyebrow at him…eyebrow?
Alli was so busy having an eyebrow conversation with her cat that she didn't even notice that the bus was now flying. And that some of the students were screaming in terror. The only thing that surprised her was when the bus landed heavily on the floating cement, the jolt made her go invisible. People were freaked out when they saw a floating cat walk off the bus. Alli shook her body to make herself visible again, dropping the cat on to the ground and watching it scamper away she made her way into the school's main building.
Since it was her first and only year at sky high, she was to endure the humiliating torture of Power Placement. The freshman were all in the gym listening to the principle; who strangely resembled Linda Carter, who was giving a very unstimulating speech about the importance of learning your power, so you can use it for the greater good. Before yelling out "Comets Away" and exploding into balls of glowing light. Ok…not weird at all.
A man decked out in a polo shirt and dangerously short gym shorts stood up on a raised platform. The boy with light brown hair from the bus was up their too, a superior smirk was stamped right across his chinless face.
"Welcome to power placement, I am coach boomer…or to those that remember Sonic Boom" the man…boomed. "Here are the rules of power placement, you will get up here and show me your power, and I will then decide where you will be a hero or a side kick"
"Stronghold here will now demonstrate" he yelled "CAR!"
A large rust bucket of a car fell towards Stronghold's head; he caught it easily before it gave him a permanent concussion. The annoying looking kid actually started to juggle it, before he threw it into the air and it disappeared. Boomer looked happily at the boy with super strength.
"That" he said "is how you know some one is hero material…you in the front, get up here and show me what you got!"
One by one each student went up to face the loud mouth gym coach, and one by one they were either humiliated or praised. Until only Alli was left, Boomer motioned for her to step forward.
"Name?"
"Alison Quist" she said.
"Ok Quist, what's your power?" he asked, eyeing her suspiciously.
Alli glared up at him
"I can create force fields, and bend light around my body so to appear invisible" she replied.
Boomer cocked an eye brow "CAR!"
Alli surrounded her self in a glowing blue force field and the car bounced right off. Boomer clicked his pen.
"Hero"
Alli grinned and started doing a little dance, boomer stared at her; doing a very good impression of a gaping gold fish. She stopped dancing and smiled at him.
"You look like you've never seen a victory dance before".
The bell rang signalling lunch…or to Alli was recess; she never could understand these American schools. She followed the crowd out to the cafeteria.
Alli did not fully understand why in American schools, different tables seemed to be designated to the different social groups. She did an impression of a terminator as she searched for an empty table; she spotted one with only one occupant. It just happened to be the hot grump from the bus. She plonked herself down and opened her lunch bag. The hottie looked up at her and glared.
"No one sits at this table but me, go away unless you wanna get roasted" he growled
Alli looked up at him.
"Unless you have certified ownership of this particular table, and a good lawyer to help prove your case. I will be eating my lunch here right along with you" she replied.
He was about to give a good come back remark, but she had put up a force field and was already tucking into her lunch. She only looked up to wave at a shorter girl with shoulder length brown hair and an ample figure, the girl cocked an eyebrow at him…reminded him of that cat. His train of thought was broken when Lash tripped some red headed kid and his lunch spilled all over his book. The guy stood up and ignighted on of his arms, upon seeing this Alli grabbed her bag in one hand and grased the guys arm in the other and hightailed it out of the cafeteria.
When they were away from the lunch room, the guy wrenched his arm from Alli's hand and glared at her in white hot anger.
"What the hell did you do that for?" her growled out the corner of his mouth.
Alli tossed her bag on to the ground and sat down beside it.
"I stopped you from hurting that guy, and getting yourself into trouble" she answered lightly.
The guy that boomer called Stronghold came swaggering up with the red haired hippy hanging off his arm, that same smirk was still smacked across his face.
"hey Warren, who's ya knew girlfriend?" he asked, his voice dripped with sarcasm.
The little red head laughed at that comment, she sounded like a high pitched hyena on coke. Alli rolled her eyes at the pair.
'great' she thought 'a chinless idiot with a superiority complex and a doped up hyena for a girlfriend'
She stood up and shoved her face right up infornt of his.
"CUTSO!" she yelled "yeah that's right I called you a penis!"
Stronghold's face turned purple, while that Warren turned red from holding in his laughter.
"just who do you think you are?" he sneered "I am the son of the Commander and Jet Stream…you are a nobody"
This time it was Alli who wore the superior smirk.
"That maybe true, but this nobody has a little friend who wants to say high" she replied evily.
"CLONE ATTACK!"
Stronghold was stunned when a short brunette ran head on into his chest and sent him flying across the grass into the gym wall. The red head ran after him, crying her eyes out.
The brunette smirked and changed into that little cat that had glared at warren on the bus. She climbed into Alli's bag and went to sleep; Alli picked up the bag and slung it over her shoulder. She smiled at Warren before she left.
"Told you she filled out the application her self"
