"So what is the absolute value of this number?" As always, both hands of Toon Link and Lucas shot up. The teacher, Mr. McCloud (Fox) sighed. The rivlary in between those two was rediculous. At first it was a tad interesting, but now that it had failed to deminish whithin the whole school year, it was getting irritating. The two would always try to beat the other to answer the question and at times, he'd pass the gymnasium and spot the two, always on opposite teams. He never knew the shy Lucas would have a competitive side.
Pointing his white board marker at Lucas, Mr. McCloud asked for the answer from Lucas. Lucas stumbled over his words for a moment before clearing his throat and answering the problem correctly. Mr. McCloud nodded and wrote the answer on the white board, trying his best to make his hand writing presentable since it was naturaly sloppy. Mr. McCloud saw Lucas send a smug look towards Toon Link while the other blond sent a frustrated look at Lucas.
"Okay students, I'll write up another problem and then I'll assign you your homework after," The teacher announced as he erased the question once he figured all of the kids had written it down. Presenting them with a new question, many of them looked a bit baffled at how hard it was, but he simply waited for those two to raise their hands. Suprisingly, only Lucas did. But it was expected. Lucas was a very smart kid. Mr. McCloud waited a few more seconds to see if other students would raise their hands, but called on Lucas once nobody did so.
After watching a wordless conflict go on in between the two blonds, Mr. McCloud announced the homework for the next day. It was a simple thirty questions. Not too much compared to Mr. Lombardi (Falco) who assigned about sixty questions, or had an extremely complicated pop quiz. Mr. Lombardi was one of Fox's friends along with Wolf, or according to the students-Mr. O' Donnell (A/N: Lol, had a teacher with that last name, though it was spelled differently.) Well...to be truthful, if the students looked closer, they could say that the two were gay for each other...Which was pretty damn accurate.
Fox tore his mind away from that subject before his mind could wander off into more adult themes by clearing his throat abruptly, catching a lot of attention. Aparently, Ness and Popo were about to engage in a fist fight, for Ness had Popo by the collar of his shirt while Popo looked like he was about to bite Ness' hand right there. Fox sighed mentaly in relief for the excellent exuse to clear his throat and attact attention.
"What are you two doing?" He questioned, cocking an eyebrow. Ness' grip didn't falter and Popo almost bit the other boy, for Fox saw his jaw twitch. The silence was horrible and Fox looked over to the other two friends of Ness and Popo. Just like Toon Link and Lucas, Ness and Popo were bitter rivals, probably worse than the two blonds.
"He started it!" Popo wailed, pointing an accusing finger at Ness who was on the verge of punching Popo for accusing him of such a thing. Fox sighed, he had heard that exuse far too many times to believe it anymore.
"Does anybody disagree with Ice-Climber?" Fox sighed, adressing Popo by his last name. Popo was Nana's older brother. Fox knew that because Popo was in his Algebra I class while Nana was in his Basic Algebra class since she struggled greatly with the equatons and such. None of the students disagreed with Popo which prooved Fox incorrect. Popo was telling the truth with the most overused exuse.
Fox had sent both Ness and Popo to the office ten minutes before the bell rang, indicating that second period had ended. He watched his students leave, before preparing for third period.

Aparently, Popo and Ness recieved some mercy from the principal; Mr. Hand, and were simply sent back to third period since second ended. But he had said that the next time they would fight, they'd be suspended or possibly expelled.
As the two headed towards their third period class, which they were both inconviniently placed in the same classes four periods in a row, they sent death glares at each other the whole way, Popo's was more menacing.
"So, I heard that you had been hitting on my sister you ass hole," Popo snarled. Ness' expression changed to one of slight pride. Popo didn't care about what Mr. Hand had said earlier, he jumped at Ness, only to be held back by someone who had just exited the boys bathroom.
"Popo, what are you doing?" An all too familiar voice growled in his ear as Popo was held in a position only a master martial artist should know. "You were just sent to the principal for that, calm yourself," The voice continued as Popo was spun around quickly so that he faced his best friend Toon Link. Popo took a silent deep breath, not wanting Ness to know that his blond friend had full control over him. He peered over his shoulder to see Ness with a wide smirk displayed on his lips and Popo had the biggest urge to push his friend away and lash out at that damn fool.
"Eh, looks like the second idiot has arrived," Ness shrugged and continued on his way to Science. Popo again had another urge to tackle Ness for insulting Toon Link and himself. But Popo didn't.
"Uh, you can let go now," Popo announced in slight embarrassment at how his blond friend was holding him. Toon Link blinked before noticing that he had failed to let go of Popo and backed away, looking a bit embarrassed himself. The two walked back to their class in an awkward silence. Toon Link looked like he was pondering over something while Popo replayed that moment, from when he was about to punch Ness to when he told his best friend to let go of him, in his mind.
The two returned to science class, spotting Ness flirting with Nana and Lucas looking a bit nervous about something. Popo's rage flared up again immediatly when he saw Ness flirting with his sister. He was about to yell at Ness, but was stopped in his tracks when Toon Link slapped a hand over his mouth in a rough gesture to keep his cool. Popo muttered to himself as he and Toon Link sat at their lab tables, Toon Link explaining the lab for the day. Every now and then Popo's eyes would stray over to Ness' flirting every now and then, which he swore Ness was doing on porpuse, before being brought back to the lab with Toon Link back handing him upside his head and growling an irritated 'pay attention'.
"Alright everybody, back to your desks," Ms. Aran (Samus) called ten minutes later from her spot in front of the white board. Again, Popo recieved a back hand upside the head from Toon Link when his eyes strayed over to Ness' flirting once more. Rubbing the back of his aching head, Popo muttered more curses under his breath, returning to his seat in front of Ness. Hallelujah...He and Toon Link had the worst of luck when it came to Lucas and Ness.
Samus eyed Ness warily, making sure that the raven haired boy wasn't planning something malicious. Because every single day, he'd be able to come up with a different thing to embarrass Popo with. Wether it be dumping a few ice cubes down his shirt and make the boy dance around as he tried to get the frozen water out, or (suprisingly) manage to pull Popo's shirt entirely off. Ness must've practiced that one. She'd remember to place them as far away from each other as possible next quarter.
She began post-lab, watching Ness carefully in between notes. Much to her shock, Lucas was the one to pull a trick this time. Where in the name of Metroid had Lucas gotten ahold of that...oh yeah...the lab...Samus flinched when she saw Toon Link swing his arm out in a wide arc in an attempt to punch whoever got that raw egg on him. Lucky for Lucas, his reflexes allowed him to avoid the incoming fist. Ness was on the floor, practically laughing like the funniest joke on the whole planet had just been told. Other kids began laughing as well. This was something new. They were used to Ness being the one pulling the pranks, but Lucas was something fresh. Samus couldn't help but notice the apologetic look in Lucas' eyes and the hurt gleem in Toon Link's.
She simply walked over to Ness, knowing that he was the one to tell Lucas to do it. Popo was currently sending the scariest glare Samus had ever seen at Ness, his fists ready for another fist fight Samus never knew they had earlier. The normal routine of Ness pulling something on Popo was irritable, but the fact that Ness had told his friend to do something Lucas probably didn't want to do was just too much.
"Stand up," Samus commanded. Ness stopped laughing and stood up, straightening out his baseball cap. The boy wasn't even supposed to be wearing that thing. So Samus yanked it off of his head. "I'm sure you told Lucas do do that," Samus said calmly, tossing the baseball cap onto her desk like a frisbee.
"Well...yes I did," Ness admitted, looking down at the ground. Samus simply sent Ness off to the office, Popo sending him a rather satisfied look. Samus looked down icily at Popo, wordlessly telling him to 'mind his own business', the young boy obeying her command. She then looked over to Lucas and Toon Link, Locas looking like he was seriously considering apologizing, but holding back from doing so, Toon Link sitting with his arms crossed, staring angrily out in front of him.
The bell rang and Samus watched her students leave for the next class, hoping that Popo, Ness, Toon Link and Lucas didn't have the next class with each other.
And her hopes were ignored by the schedule. They all had period four together with Mr. Falcon.
"Alright my students, the sport we'll be doing for the next two weeks is soccer!" Mr. Falcon announced a little too enthusiasticaly. A few groans were heard while a few kids silently whooped to themselves. "We'll be playing one big game, so I'll choose who'll be captains of each team!" Mr. Falcon continued, obviously knowing who he'd choose to be captains of the opposing teams.
Lucas had his fingers crossed for Mr. Falcon to not choose him to be captain, but unfortunatly, as always, Falcon chose him and Toon Link. Sighing in defeat, he stood up and trudged over to his spot up in front of the whole class. He and Toon Link began choosing other kids that they wanted on their teams, obviously him choosing Ness first while Toon Link chose Popo first. It was a no brainer.
"Okay, I'm sure you all know the rules to soccer, so let's get things started!" Mr. Falcon piped once everybody got into their positions, dropping the ball in front of Popo and Ness who were up on offense along with Lucas and Red on Ness' side and Toon Link and Nana on Popo's side. Right from the start, Nana got it very far away from Lucas' partners, passing their defence like it was nobody's business. Nana aparently was a very good soccer player. Nana did some fancy foot work around Pit before passing it to Popo who continued the pass to Toon Link.
"Watch this, he's gonna be a show off," Ness pointed out as he and Lucas ran after Toon Link. Toon Link kicked the ball almost completly vertically before bumping it higher with his knee, turning around to face him and Ness before back flipping, making sure that his foot made contact with the falling ball and smashing it into the goal. "Told ya," Ness grunted, uttering something that went along the lines of 'damn kid and his martial arts'. Lots of the kids looked impressed, kids on his team giving him thumbs ups and high fives while kids on Lucas' team looked jealous.
After Lucas' team failed against Toon Link's with epic proportions, they all headed off to lunch. Many that had been on Lucas' team were mumbling that next time they hoped that they'd be picked by Toon Link. That was a huge blow to the self esteem. Ness and Lucas both chatted casually as they got their lunches. Ness seemed a bit too calm, especially after losing against Popo as well. They both sat at a table not too far from the one Toon Link and Popo were sitting at. Popo and Nana chatted for a short moment before Nana walked off to her group of friends.
"Man, I'm so bored," Ness grumbled, setting a pinkie sized ball of sloppy joe meat on the table before flicking it at Popo with a bored expression plastered on his features. The meat made contact with the back of Popo's head and the boy halted his eating, standing up abruptly and spinning around to send a death glare at Ness. The two watched Toon Link and Popo interact, it was humorous at times when Toon Link was forced to calm Popo. Other times it was nothing special.
Toon Link forced Popo to sit down in his chair before telling him to cool it. Popo looked like he was going to argue, but didn't. Ness smirked. He could obviously see the control Toon Link had over his friend no matter how much Popo wouldn't admit it.
"Say, we should act like a couple and see how those two react," Ness suddenly said, making Lucas choke on his bread. Ness smacked Lucas on the back hard enough to get the boy to hack it up. Lucas placed a napkin over the spit up food before looking at Ness with a furious blush tainting his cheeks.
"What?" Lucas questioned, obviously wanting to hear if he had just imagined Ness saying that.
"You heard me Luke," Ness smirked at his friends' red face. Honestly, he couldn't admit the fact that Lucas looked a bit cute when he blushed. And so far, only Ness could get the boy to do so. So maybe..."Yeah I think it's a good idea, just for a whole bunch of giggles," Ness shrugged his shoulders. It was a pretty far-fetched idea but what the hey? He had heard that Nana had pulled the same thing back in fourth grade with him, so it wasn't something new to Ness. Rumors would spread like wild fire though now that they weren't in elementary school anymore...
"Well...I guess since you did it back in forth grade..." Lucas muttered, fiddling with his fork.
"Tomorrow?"
"...Tomorrow..."

Lucas noticed that Ness was probably having the most fun he has had in a while. Messing with people's minds was something the raven enjoyed. Lucas was very hesitant, but the two kissed during math class and once they separated to look at the shocked faces, Ness yelled 'That's PDA people!'. Then during science, they sat pretty closely during lab, getting strange looks from Ms. Aran and the kids that didn't know that they had kissed during math class.
During gym, they did the best teamwork they could preform during soccer; which was pretty good even though they still lost to Toon Link's team. At lunch, Ness went as far as feeding Lucas, even though Lucas thought that it was a little too far, but ate from Ness' hands none the less.
Well...it was all fun until Toon Link and Popo caught on the next day, practically copying them the next day. This was probably what Toon Link likely felt when Lucas and Ness were displaying PDA. Lucas felt a bit cheated on, but Ness looked furious at the thougt that they were copying them, Toon Link calling Popo 'Lucas' and Popo calling Toon Link 'Ness', both in mocking tones. Obviously kids would laugh at it since it was more of a joke than a 'messing with people's minds thing'.
But there still was a little bit of fun in it. They were still messing with the minds of their teachers since they didn't take jokes very well. Lucas would watch Toon Link and Popo joke around during lunch, flinging food at each other every now and then. Ness would nudge Lucas and give him a funny look, saying 'are you jealous?'. Lucas denied it, but deep down, he truthfully thought he was.

Please review if you feel like it and be nice with them. Peace!
