Hey people! My first POTF fic, I haven't put a fic up on in a looooooong time. So here's the fic, R&R!
Summary: Phil accidentally zaps himself with a truth ray on the wizard, admitting his every thought without hesitation. PHEELY
As Keely strolled down the halls of H.G. Wells, a neon poster caught her eye. She scanned it, reading aloud,
"Presenting H.G. Wells National Foreign Exchange Student Program. Starting in the beginning of October, H.G. Wells will be hosting 5 students from 5 foreign countries: Chile, Israel, Germany, Sweden, and Italy."
Suddenly she felt someone tug her backpack, causing her to avert her attention to whoever did it.
"Hey Phil! What's up?" she exclaimed cheerily.
"My next flawless plan of pure genius, that's what," Phil remarked, grinning like there was no tomorrow. "C'mon, I'll explain it on the way," Phil said excitedly as he and Keely began walking home. He was so incredibly thrilled with his idea that he nearly leaped down the front steps of the school and began to speed walk, Keely trotting at his side. The excitement built higher and, steadily, he broke into a run, but Keely snatched his arm and forced him to face her.
"Will you just slow down and let me in on your lame secret!" Keely huffed, somewhat annoyed. Phil glared at the blonde girl crossing her arms in front of him.
"Listen Keel, it's NOT lame. And secondly, it'll be benefiting you, so shut up," Phil shot back. Keely rolled her eyes and scoffed as they continued walking; Phil ignored her.
"So, you know that foreign exchange program we're having?" Phil gave Keely no time to answer, "Well, it's perfect for me to use to get back at that jerk Tanner!" Phil gestured with his hands and expected Keely to instantly understand. Instead, he received a look of utter confusion in reply.
"Uh…Phil, there's only two things wrong with that. A) the Tanner ordeal was over a year ago, and B) what the heck do those two things have to do with each other?" Phil and Keely arrived at Keely's front porch.
"Before you go, just let me explain it," Phil urged, leaning against the tree in her front yard. Keely's porch steps creaked as she went up them. "That's sort of what I've been waiting for," Keely sighed impatiently as she gently placed her hand on the doorknob. Phil, feeling somewhat rushed, spoke quickly of what he intended to do.
"Ok Keel, listen up. I overheard Tanner's friend Justin that the exchange student from Chile will be staying with Tanner for the semester until the program ends, unfortunately for her. So--"
"Wait, her? She's a GIRL? A girl, staying in Tanner's HOUSE?" Keely interrupted.
"Exactly. See, that's where my plan comes in. We all know that Tanner flirts with every living female on the face of the planet to benefit his reputation, so he'll definitely try and ask her out, especially since she's from Chile. He has a thing for Hispanics, I'm told. Plus, the exotic factor will make him the center of attention if she accepts," Phil explained to Keely, who was becoming more and more interested.
"And?" she urged curiously; she was now hooked on Phil's plan to humiliate Tanner.
"And, according to Hackett, this girl does not speak a WORD of English!" Phil rejoiced. Suddenly it clicked and Keely's face lit up.
"Right! So he'll try and make moves on her in front of the entire school, to make himself look good of course, and instead come off looking like a total idiot!" Keely pointed out with a devious tone. "But…where do YOU fit into this brilliant idea of yours?"
Phil whipped out the infamous Wizard and held it up high. "Well, since the wizard can pretty much do anything, I'm going to use it to allow me to speak fluent Spanish. The only thing I know in Spanish is "Yo quiero Taco Bell," but now, I'll be able to speak the native tongue of the folks south of the border," Phil said idiotically, thinking he sounded clever. Keely laughed at his lameness and finished off his idea.
"So basically, you're planning to show Tanner up in front of the entire student body by pretending that you speak fluent Spanish. Therefore, she'll ditch Tanner because of the fact that she's impressed that someone from Pickford has such great knowledge of her language. So you'll be hitting on her and stealing her away from Tanner. Are you sure it'll work?" Keely had doubts. It also bothered her that Phil would be flirting with some other girl, even if it was fake.
"I'm positive Keel. If you went to some small town in another country and you found someone that fluently knew your language, wouldn't you be the least bit intrigued?" Phil knew he convinced her. "It doesn't BOTHER you that I'm going to be fake flirting, does it?" Phil teased.
"Good point! So, when are you planning to do this?" Keely wondered with a smirk. Suddenly his last comment hit her. "No, why should I care? It's not real anyway, Flirty McFlirtinhoffer" Keely said coolly. (A/N: haha I pulled that one from Virtue-Date, obviously)
"Well, since tomorrow is October 1st, she'll be here tomorrow. So I'll do it in the morning before school starts. This is going to be absolutely flawless, no WAY that it's gonna go wrong. See ya tomorrow," Phil smiled as he turned and began walking home.
"Bye Phil! See ya in the A.M.!" Keely hollered to him from her porch and practically skipped into her house.
THE NEXT MORNING….
'This is the day that I make Tanner look like a baffling moron, though that's easy enough already,' Phil thought inwardly and chuckled to himself. He pointed the wizard at himself and a white beam shot out. "That's weird…it's supposed to be green…" Phil was a little worried. "Did I hit the wrong switch?" Little did he know, that's exactly what he had done. He didn't hit the language fluency switch, he hit the one that activated the truth ray.
Oh snap, cliffhanger! Chapter 2 is when all the fun stuff starts. Pheely starts up in the next chapter as well. Review if you think I should continue.
