Summary: After one or two many tests, Johnny is desperate to escape from his family and his life. But the only way to do that is if he's rich enough to be classed as an adult.
I do not own Johnny Test.
Enjoy!
The door to Johnny Test room was flung open and out came a blond hair flame headed boy who couldn't even walk properly on his own two feet, so he was being helped, by none other than his best friend and Dog, Dukey.
"Johnny, you can't go on like this" Dukey said, as he laid his best pal on the bed. "What if the experiments kill you one day?"
"Don't you think I don't know that?" Johnny said, "But I can't do anything about it. I go to a school that treats me like garbage. The police don't care what happens in this house. My dad cares more about cooking his terrible meatloaf than actually being a father. Mom works all the time, to the point that I think she is trying to avoid spending time with her family. Any money we have mostly goes to my sisters who see me as their lab subject. My life is hell, dog."
He had no way out; he knew that the experiments would one day kill him and all he could do was enjoy some of them while he could.
"I'm stuck like this Dukey," Johnny said.
"... actually, Johnny, you can get out without waiting for death to come for you" Dukey suddenly said.
"Wait? What?" Said, Johnny, trying to move his head but couldn't.
"There is a way for you not to have to stay in this house and nobody can call the police to drag you back," Said, Dukey.
"Really? SPEAK DOG!" Johnny said.
"Be classed as an adult by law," Dukey said.
"Huh?" Johnny said, blinking.
"If you're seen as an adult, nobody can make you stay here," Dukey said, "If they do, then you can actually sue and get them arrested. If your undergoing an experiment, your sisters are forced to have you sign a consent form. If not, the government would have to step in and arrest them"
"So... what I'm hearing is that being classed as an adult would mean I can run away and the cops can't drag me back?" Johnny said.
"Yes, but being classed as an adult would mean your mischievous ways could exactly get you arrested" Said, Dukey. "No more blowing up the town. They will have you thrown into Prison, and your life is over if they do that."
"WHO CARES!" Johnny said, " I NEED TO ESCAPE, DOG! I'll hang up my mischievous ways if it means, I can get away from this place. Get away from my terrible life. What do I have to do, to be seen as an adult by the law?"
"Johnny...I'll be straight with you," Dukey said, "Currently, you have no chance of being seen as an adult by the law. Your right, the government doesn't care about you or your family. You can call child services, and they won't do a thing. You'll be back within a day."
And Johnny groaned.
"So, there is only one option left for you," Said, Dukey making Johnny try to look at him. "Get rich, Johnny. Get Super Rich. The rich get away with things are the time. Being classed as an adult is a simple task for a boy who is rich. Once you're rich and an adult, your family can't legally touch your money. You can kiss goodbye to your terrible school and be home-schooled or go to the richest school around. You can get your own house and kiss goodbye to your father terrible meatloaf and hello amazing food all the time."
"Really?" Johnny said.
"But don't tell anybody what you're doing until your classed as an adult" Said, Dukey. "Your parents will try to stop you or take any money you try to make if they know you're making serious cash. If you let somebody know what you're doing, there is a chance you'll never have an opportunity to be free again because you'll be watched 24-7."
They already had a tracking chip on them; if it went further, Johnny might contempt just ending it.
"I'm good at keeping secrets," Said, Johnny before saying. "So how do I get rich? Sell one of Susan and Mary inventions?"
"Bad idea. There might be a tracker on them, which could be traced by to you." Said, Dukey. "How about getting rich on something your good at?" before adding. "And it's not completely gross."
"Then I got nothing," Johnny said.
"What if you sell yourself to the neighbourhood and charge several bucks?" Dukey said, "You can cover it up by saying you want the newest game console which is 300 bucks."
"Oh, I do what that console," Johnny said.
"And when I'm done with you. You'll get so much more" Said, Dukey and Johnny almost let out a squeal of happiness.
The girls really shouldn't have gone all out with Dukey intelligence.
Dukey was going to make him a millionaire.
# Next day#
Both Johnny and Dukey began to put up flyers all around the neighbourhood, drawing obvious attention.
"Johnny for sale?" Sissy said, "5 bucks for any task? If done well enough we can add a bonus? Is this some kind of joke?"
"No, joke Sissy" Johnny said to her and those who were reading it. "I will perform any task for a measly five bucks. I need the money to get me the Zbox ZY and the latest games that comes with it. I'm broke."
"And I. A kid with a hair disorder," Dukey said, in his blue 'I'm not a dog' t-shirt, red shorts, sneakers and backwards cap "Will be his assistant. If you need something for Johnny to do, talk to me, and I'll try to slot you in so that everybody can have him equally."
"Uh, huh," Said, Bumper.
"If your sceptical, you won't have to pay us until Johnny shows up at your doorstep," Dukey said, stunning them all. "That way he could do the job instantly and you can watch."
They all began to mummer amongst themselves.
"Now who wants number one?" Said, Dukey getting out his ticket roll and clipboard.
The crazy cat lady stepped forward and took the first number and said. "I need him to look after my cats for a couple of hours."
Even she needed some time away from her cats.
Then she noticed the small printed time on the ticket.
"Great. You'll be expecting Johnny at 10 in the morning" Said, Dukey and he began to fill out the clipboard with a note at various times, and Johnny pouted. "Who's next?"
They began to come forward, one by one, all of them wanted Johnny to do something, even Mr White and Mr Black come forward to burrow Johnny for military purposes.
It took them all day, with some breaks but Dukey was soon in heavy negations with the neighbours, but Johnny did have to go to school.
They finally went home, and Johnny was not looking forward to tomorrow.
"Do, I have to do it?" Said, Johnny, in the bathroom getting ready for bed.
"You want to become an adult. Don't you?" Said, Dukey.
"Become an adult for what?" Said, Huge Test peeping his head out and Dukey pretended to be a normal dog. "And who were you talking to?"
Both Johnny and Dukey froze.
"Just myself," Johnny said, making the man raise an eyebrow. "I want to be seen as an adult so that I can take on more responsibility."
His dad blinked before smiling and saying. "Nice to see you, finally trying to help people, Johnny." before the man walked away.
Both Johnny and Duke gave a sigh of relief.
#The Next Day#
Johnny suddenly found himself dragged out of bed by Dukey.
"Give me five more minutes dog," Johnny said.
"You don't get rich from being lazy" Said, Dukey dragging him out of the room and to the bathroom, before helping Johnny get ready for the day.
He dragged Johnny back to his room, to help him put on his clothes before pulling him to the front door, everybody was too busy to notice Dokey dragging Johnny everywhere.
They walked outside, and Dukey in his 'regular kid' disguise said, "The first house is the crazy cat lady."
They walked to her house and pressed the door button; the door opened and out came the old woman.
"Hi, we're here to take care of your cats" Said, Dukey.
The woman looked happy and said. "Here is five bucks. What each cat needs is on the fridge. If you do a good enough job, then there is a bonus for you."
Johnny took the five bucks, and they both walked into the home.
The home was infested with cats and Dukey had to stop his dog instincts from kicking in before going to the fridge to read the 'note' on it.
"Okay. Johnny. She got pictures of each cat and what needs to be done" Said, Dukey.
Johnny groaned when he saw about two pages worth of stuff that needed to be done.
"I'll take one sheet, and you take the other" Said, Johnny, and both of them took a cat and began to do one task after another, no matter how disgusting or painful it was.
They went from task to task for several hours.
The woman came back, three hours later and was stunned to see all the cat's fast asleep.
Both Dukey and Johnny looked tried and had cat scratches on their arms and face.
"You two worked well," She said, before taking out her purse and saying. "Here is 10 dollars." giving it to them.
Dukey managed to take it while Johnny was too tired to do anything, she then gave them candy before sending them out the door.
"Now, it's time to wash a car" Said, Dukey as Johnny groaned.
He was just so tired.
"We just got 15 dollars from the Cat lady, Johnny. Can you imagine how much candy we can get with that kind of cash?" Dokey said, getting Johnny spirit up.
They ran to a house, two houses down and rang the doorbell to find the man home.
"You asked me to wash your car?" Said, Johnny.
"I did say that." Said, the man before getting out a five and handing it over to Johnny.
He then gave them a special bucket of soap and permission to use the hose.
"Depending on your performance. I may give you a bonus" Said, the man.
The car they were shown next was a beautiful red race car.
"Cool," Johnny said before both of them got to work on cleaning the car, while the man himself watched from his window with narrow eyes.
It was his pride and joy after all, and Johnny Test was notorious in the neighbourhood for destroying things.
Johnny and Dukey than worked super hard to make sure, it was clean enough to look brand new.
When they were done, they were exhausted and rang the doorbell.
The man came outside to inspect their work, he nodded after a while, and both Johnny and Dokey were happy to be rewarded 15 bucks.
They went back into the test house for a quick lunch, in which Johnny had a shower before eating a peanut butter sandwich before braving the outdoors with his best friend who had take his clothes on and off again to avoid Johnny dad's eyes who was once again busy cooking terrible meatloaf.
"So, who's next?" Said, Johnny.
"That would be me," Said, Bling-Bling Boy coming down with his golden jet pack. "I need somebody to test what kind of ice cream, my sweet Susan would like to eat the most. And if you do a well enough job, I will give you a big fat bonus."
"Ice cream?" Johnny said, taking the 5.
"Fat Bonus?" Dukey said he had forgotten that they know a super-rich boy who could pay some serious cash.
Both of them grabbed Bling-Bling hands, and they were flown all the way up to his private sold gold jet.
They sat in his passengers' seat, and Bling-Bling flew them all the way to his island.
When they arrived at his island, they went straight to the lab where about a dozen ice creams on a silver platter were waiting for them.
"I feel like the heavens are rewarding me for a hard day's work," Said, Johnny as the first ice cream was revealed onto him, and he grabbed a spoon and took on heavily scoop of it.
"So, what do you think?" Said, Bling-Bling Boy.
"Susan. Would like this but she wouldn't love this" Johnny said, and the scientist next to him began to write.
"This is good, but it's missing something" Said, Dukey taking a scoop.
There was more writing, what made this moment great was that Bling-Bling Boy had booked them for an hour and a half.
#An Hour and a Half Later#
"So, Ice-cream 43?" Said, Bling-Bling Boy.
"Defiantly Ice-cream 43," Both Johnny and Dukey said.
"She would love the ice-cream" Said, Johnny. "You could deliver it to her, under the ruse that it was a lifetime supply of ice-cream that was won with a postcode raffle."
"Oh, good point," Said, Bling-Bling boy before getting out a wad of cash from his pocket and saying. "Here's for the good work."
Then Dukey took the money before Johnny could touch it, making the boy pout.
"Hey, Bling Bling. Can you take us back to Pork belly?" Said, Johnny.
"Sure, Jonathan," Said, Bling-Bling Boy and they got into his helicopter, and he drove back to town.
They skydived onto land.
"So how much did Bling-Bling give us?" Said, Johnny.
"I haven't counted yet but that that not the point. We certainly can't call ourselves rich" Said, Dukey. "Our work isn't over yet. We still have one more house, left today."
"... what do we have to do?" Johnny said.
"Babysit" Said, Dukey reading from his clipboard and suddenly they found themselves in a house surrounded by screaming toddlers.
When they finally got back home, neither of them said anything, Dukey hid the cash in their secret safe before flopping down on the floor, too tired to move.
Johnny was already fast asleep.
Dukey soon joined him.
Neither of them had no idea that Johnny was on his way to being the most liked kid in the neighbourhood.
But they would know soon.
And scene!
