Chapter 1: School Troubles
It was an early afternoon at Mushroom Junior High School. The day was done, and Toad students were already rushing out the door. Toad himself was preparing to leave, gathering his Mushroom Algebra I book from his locker. As he was closing the locker door, Toadette tapped him on the back. He swirled around and giggled.
"Toadette, you should know better than to sneak up on me like that!" he said, playfully.
"Says who?" Toadette shot back, also playful. "I've been doing it since school started, why stop now?" They both were giggling as they started to walk out the door. Toad stopped and turned to Toadette.
"Do you have all your books?" "Why?" "I think I saw a book with your name on it in the hallway." Toad waited as Toadette shuffled through her petite backpack.
"You're right! Better go get it." Toadette started to walk in, but was stopped by a mob of students. Toad walked up to her, ready to defend against anything and everything. One student walked up to him and whispered in his ear.
"I hear you have a crush on a certain someone." He pointed gleefully to a smirking Toadette. Toad pushed him backwards.
"I do not! That's not true!" The crowd started chanting.
"Toad and Toadette, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Toad's face fell.
"Stop it, you guys!"
"Why should we?" shouted a heckler from the crowd. You know you like her!"
"Why, you little-!" Toad stomped up to the heckling student, pushed him to the ground, and held him there. The crowd decided to torture Toadette instead, pushing her against the newly painted lockers. Toad uttered the words swiftly and clearly.
"Listen, you punk. If anyone, and I mean anyone, tries to get in my way, or Toadette's way, again, you go straight to the principal's office!" The student shivered.
"No, not Principal O' Shawnessy! Please! Anything but that!"
"Then break up this crowd and leave! If you even think about saying that little mark again…" He pointed to the main office. The student winced. Toad finally broke him free. The student and him tried to stop the crowd. Most of them left, but a few remained, spitting insults.
"Why don't you go date someone not your own size, you mush-mouthed freak!"
"Hey, I heard they are hiring a window-washer job… in some newspaper!" Toad's calamity had finally reached its limit.
"Okay, that's enough!" He took the two Toads by the arm, and proceeded to throw them into the main office. The secretary glared.
"So, if it isn't Ferb and Beth. What did you guys do this time?" Ferb glared, and pounded the window. His green eyes and cap were easily visible. The secretary came up and started dragging him to the prison that was the VP's office. Ferb tried to run, screaming as he was hauled away.
"Toad! I will get you for this!" The slamming of the door could be heard outside the building. Beth, a purple Toad, was calmly walking after him, and shot a harsh glare out the window, without really aiming it at anyone. Toad had calmly strolled to the middle of the hallway, picking up Toadette's book and giving it to her. Toadette smiled and hugged him.
"Toad, I just don't know what I would do without you!"
"It depends." Toad said, back to his gleefulness. "If it weren't for me, you'd be missing your Language Arts homework tonight." They both were giggling once more as they walked out the door, holding hands.
