Author's Note: Here I am again, starting another fanfiction while I still have another going. Oh well I can't help it. When I get an idea I can't stop it from turning into words. So anyway yeah this is an Avengers AU inspired by the movie Ferris Buller's Day Off. I watched it with my mom before we left for Europe and then today I was thinking about it and this idea just kinda came to me and I imagined the science bros getting into these adventures! Now this fic has the same premise (three friends take a day off from school and have adventures all while trying to avoid the principal and family) but it's not like going to be scene for scene with the movie so please don't be that person that's all like 'this isn't like the movie rarararar!" I know that; I've seen the movie. It's not supposed to be exactly like it. I mean they're still super in this and stuff. Also I would like to say I'm sorry if anyone is OOC. I try really hard to keep them in character. Anyway without further ado here is Chapter 1: "Faker"

It was just a normal Thursday. At least's that's what Bruce Banner thought when he woke up that morning. Bruce had had the same morning routine for years: Get up, try to wake Tony, shower, get dressed, try again to wake Tony, head down for breakfast, eat and chat with Steve, Natasha, and Clint, come back up to try again to wake Tony before he'd be late, then when everyone had headed off for school, sit and begin his own online college classes.

Bruce was a teenager, just like everyone else living in Avengers Tower, but he was technically a college student. He'd taken all his classes since freshman year online since the normal school environment had the perfect conditions to have him Hulking out, and, being a genius, had quickly finished them. So now here he was, supposed to be a senior in high school, now a junior in college.

Bruce's Thursday first started to turn odd when he tried to wake Tony up the first time. Normally Tony would roll over and tell him to screw off or something. Today though he made no comment, just rolled over and made a groaning noise. Bruce just shrugged it off and when to take a shower.

When he came out to get dressed he nudged Tony again. "Tony, wake up."

Now this is the part where Tony usually said something to the effect of 'five more minutes, mommy,' but today he just grumbled "No" and put his face under the pillow.

Again Bruce didn't think to much on it and so he headed down for breakfast. That's when he noticed it was just Steve and Natasha eating this morning, the second odd thing.

"Where's Clint?" he asked, grabbing a bowl for his Raisin Bran.

"He's got the flu," said Natasha, "AND, before you even think of making the joke, it is not the bird flu."

Steve and Bruce both couldn't help but giggle a bit, but Natasha's glare quickly shut them up.

"So he's staying here today?" asked Bruce, sitting down at the table.

"Yep," said Natasha, "I told him you'd be here if he needed anything. You don't mind do you?"

Bruce shook his head. "Not at all."

"Well," began Steve as he got up and put his backpack on, "we better get going soon. Mr. Coulson hates it when anyone's late."

"Speaking of late," began Natasha slinging her messenger bag on, "I see you still haven't been able to get Stark up any earlier."

Bruce sighed, "Nope... but you know today I think something might be wrong." He explained to them about that morning.

"Sounds like he might be sick," said Steve.

"Please, he's such a faker." said Natasha, "Come on let's go up there and see."

So the three of them headed up to Bruce's and Tony's room. Tony was still rolled up in the covers, head still under the pillow. He didn't even acknowledge that they came in.

"Tony?" whispered Bruce as they walked up to the bed.

Tony rolled over to look at them. He was skin was pale and sweaty and his eyes were dull. He looked horrible. Perhaps he really is sick.

"Bruce? Is that you?" He reached out and touched Natasha's face and she quickly grabbed his arm and twisted it.

"AH NOT BRUCE! NOT BRUCE!" screamed Tony, pulling his arm away.

"Cut the shit, Stark," began Natasha, "We know you're faking all this."

"You think I'm faking feeling this sick? You wound me Natasha."

"I'm about to if you don't get up. We've got to get to school."

Tony opened his mouth to speak, before going into a coughing fit. When he was done, he spoke. "You think I can go to school like that? Infect everyone? I probably caught the flu from Clint," he said as he laid back down, "I shouldn't let it spread any farther. Actually you three shouldn't be in here with me. If all the Avengers were sick, what would the world do? Go, my friends, leave my den of illness."

"Oh stop with the drama, Stark," said Natasha, "Look here-"

"Nat," began Steve looking at his watch, "We've got to get going or we'll be late."

Natasha gave a frustrated sigh. "Alright, Stark, fine. Stay here, but just so you know Bruce and Clint are here too and they will be watching to make sure you don't pull anything."

"No worries, Natasha. I can barely get out of bed; it's not like I'll be leaving this place anytime soon."

Natasha glared at him as she and Steve headed out the door. Bruce just stood there a moment. Tony did look pretty sick and if he could fake it that good he deserved an award.

"Tony," began Bruce, "I'll be in the living room working on some Chemistry if you need anything."

"Ok," Tony croaked out before rolling back over.

So Bruce headed into the living room over to the corner were his desktop was set up. He was just getting into his Synthetic Chemistry homework when he heard a door open. He scooted back in his rolly chair to see the hallway and saw Tony walking into the bathroom. No problem there so he returned to the homework.

Then he heard the shower start. Cold showers always help a fever. Nothing unusual.

However when he heard Tony singing 'Shoot to Thrill' he knew something was wrong. He hopped up and began knocking on the bathroom door.

"Tony," he began, "Tony. To-"

Tony opened the door, dressed up, hair slicked back, all paleness and sweat gone. He looked like the billionaire playboy he was.

Bruce just blinked at him minute, surprised. He was faking...I can't believe he was faking. Some better start making his Oscar statuette. "You're supposed to be sick, Tony!"

"And you're supposed to be doing chemistry. Now if you'll excuse me," Tony started walking past him but Bruce grabbed his arm.

"Oh no, Tony. You've got to get to school. If Principal Fury finds out your skipping he'll kill you! He already doesn't particularly like you and you've already missed the maximum amount of days." Bruce paused for a moment, thinking. "Gosh, what if Natasha finds out!? She'll kill both of us!"

"Look Bruce, Fury and Natasha don't scare me and they shouldn't scare you either... Actually, why don't you join me Bruce?"

"What?!" asked Bruce, "Are you crazy?"

"Come on, Bruce, it'll be fun and you, my friend, need a little fun. I mean you're wound so tight that if you stuck a lump of coal up your ass, in two weeks you'd have a diamond."

"I'm not uptight, Tony! I'm responsible. I follow the rules and do my work and that's how it should be. I don't pretend to be sick to skip class!" Bruce could feel his heart rate rising. He paused for a moment to take some deep breathes.

Tony put his hand on Bruce's shoulder. "See Bruce. You need a day of relaxing. You need to get away from work and responsibilities and join me."

"Tony, I think a day out with you would be anything but relaxing," said Bruce.

"Alright suit yourself, Bruce, but I'm out." With that Tony walked out the door and Bruce stood there, debating. He knew he should call Fury or Natasha and tell them. That would be the responsible thing to do, the normal Bruce thing to do. But a part of him was intrigued by Tony's offer. Maybe it would be good for him to take a day for himself. To get away from the studying and the work. Bruce started passing around, thinking. Maybe...no...well...no...ah...shit...

When Bruce ran down to the garage he saw Tony leaning against his silver sports car. He grinned as Bruce approached. He pulled his sunglasses out of his pocket and hopped into the car. With that Tony Stark's day off began.

And so here we go. The science bros begin their adventure! Now I like to think that Tony is one of the few people who could talk Bruce into doing something so rash and, I don't know, something about their relationship reminds me of Cameron and Ferris. Anyway yeah so here we are and I hope you all like it so far. In the next chapter Tony and Bruce get a new traveling companion, Principal Fury and Mr. Coulson appear, and Natasha and Steve get a mission! Btw I just want to mention that I always have an author's note before and after the story. Usually the first one isn't too important if you just want to skip into the story. So anyway I'll try to update this within the month or something but I'm also working on another chapter fic so I may be slow with updating. Speaking with another fic, check out my other stuff! Reviews and constructive criticism are always appreciated btw! See y'all next chapter! ;D
