Chapter 1

Huey, Dewey, and Louie are eating lunch in the school cafeteria on a Friday afternoon, when Dewey brings up an interesting topic. He was talking about a birthday party that he got invited to and wanted to see if his brothers were going as well.

"So guys," Dewey started enthusiastically. "Are you going to Chad's birthday party? I heard he's even gonna have a chocolate fountain!" Huey and Louie were excited to hear about the chocolate fountain.

"Yeah, I got an invite too." Louie said excitedly as he nearly jumped out of his seat talking about it. "I heard there's gonna be a motorcycle dome, we get to see cool motorcycle tricks!" As Dewey and Louie were talking about the party, Huey realized something.

"I don't remember getting an invitation." Huey said as Dewey and Louie looked at each other. "Oh, he probably just forgot, I'll go ask him." Huey said as he got up from the table and went over to Chad's table. Dewey and Louie tried to stop him but it was too late. As Huey got to Chad's table, the kids at the table looked at him as if he didn't belong there.

"Why are you here?" Chad asked rudely. Huey started to explain himself.

"Well, I was just talking to my brothers about your birthday party, but then I realized I didn't get..." Before Huey could finish, Chad cut him off.

"That's because you weren't invited loser." Chad said angrily as the kids at the table laughed. "Now get lost." Huey then walked away from the table and back to his brothers.

"What was that all about?!" Huey asked confused as Dewey explained

"I don't know, maybe it has to do with the fact that you're not that cool." Dewey said as Huey disagreed.

"What?!" Huey said as he started to laugh nervously hoping his brothers weren't right. "I can be cool." Dewey and Louie started to laugh.

"You're probably the most geekiest kid in school." Louie said laughing hysterically. "Especially when you play that one rpg board game with your friends in the clubhouse." Huey folded his arms.

"Dungeons and Dragons is a very cool strategy game." Huey argued as Dewey started laughing hysterically.

"Huey, face it, you're king of the nerds." Dewey said laughing as Huey stared to blush with embarrassment. "I mean, you're a mathlete for crying out loud." Huey started to blush even more. He didn't like that his brothers were teasing him.

"I can be cool, I'll prove it." Huey said as he started looking around the cafeteria for anything that can help him out. His eyes stopped roaming when he saw the popular kids table. The table that the three most popular guys in school sit. Their names were Shark, Bolt, and Ash. Huey knew that if he learned from the best, then he would be the best. Huey started walking over to their table as Dewey and Louie noticed what he was doing. It was already too late to stop him.

"Oh shoot, he's gonna get himself beat up." Louie said as he looked over at Dewey. "We have to do something."

"It's too late." Dewey said worriedly. "He's already gone too far." They boys watched as their brother reached the table.

"Can we help you?" Shark asked as he and his friends looked at Huey angrily.

"Hi guys." Huey started trying to sound formal. He then sighed and started to tell them his intentions. "Look, I know you're probably gonna say no, but I'll ask anyway. Can you guys teach me how to be cool? I'll do anything you ask, just please don't let me be known at the dorkiest kid in school." The group smirked at this.

"You'll do anything?" Ash asked as Huey nodded his head in agreement. "Okay kid, we won't teach you how to be cool." Huey became disappointed. "We're gonna make you one of the coolest guys in school." Huey's disappointment suddenly disappeared. Huey was now overjoyed. "But, you're gonna have to do a few tasks before you can be one of us. Can you handle a little hazing?" Huey didn't really like the sound of "hazing", but he was going to be popular by any means necessary.

"Hey, what ever it takes right." Huey said nervously as the group gave him a fist bump.

"We're friends now, got it?!" Bolt said as Huey became filled with joy and excitement. "Meet is in the locker room on Monday for your first task. Next week is gonna be initiation week." The group then left as the bell rang for lunch to be over. Huey went back to Dewey and Louie.

"Wait, why don't you have any broken bones?" Dewey asked as Huey just smiled.

"Why would my friends ever want to break my bones?" Huey asked putting a lot of emphasis on friends. Dewey and Louie didn't think that they would befriend their brother so easily.

"You're cool now?" Louie asked confused.

"Not yet, I'll be cool once I get done with my initiation." Huey said as Dewey asked another question.

"What kind of initiation?" Dewey asked skeptically.

"I don't know." Huey answered. "But they promised me that I will be one of the most popular guys in school." Dewey and Louie were surprised at this. They didn't think that it would be that easy to get popular. There had to be some kind of catch.

Ash, Shark, and Bolt were in the bathroom talking about what they were gonna do on Monday.

"What should the first task be for the kids initiation?" Bolt asked as Shark started thinking of ideas.

"I guess we gotta humiliate him." Shark said. "Isn't that how all initiations are?" Ash then started thinking of bigger ideas.

"I know exactly what we're gonna do!" Ash said maniacally. "Let's just see how far he'll go to be popular." Ash started going over the plan as the others started listening.

Huey, Dewey, and Louie went into their bedroom as Huey was overexcited about finally being popular. Dewey started thinking to himself and decided to put his thoughts into words.

"Huey, are you sure those guys will make you popular?" Dewey asked as Huey questioned his thinking.

"Why wouldn't they?" Huey asked he started writing something down in his Junior Woodchuck Guidebook. "They are the coolest kids in school after all." Huey said putting a lot of emphasis on the are.

"I know Hue." Dewey said trying to reason with him. "But this just seems, I don't know, too good to be true." Huey started thinking.

"Oh, I see what's going on here." Huey said coming into realization. Dewey was relieved.

"Good, I'm glad we worked this all..." Before Dewey could finish, Huey cut him off.

"You're jealous!" Huey said laughing hysterically. Dewey was confused.

"Jealous?!" Dewey said disagreeing with his brother's statement.

"You're jealous because I'm probably gonna be more popular than you." Huey said laughing even harder than he was before. "What was that about me being king of the nerds again?" Huey said putting a hand up to his ear to project sound into it. Dewey said nothing and folded his arms. Louie started to join the conversation.

"I think Deweys right Huey." Louie said trying to reason with Huey. "I don't think you can just become popular by asking for it." Huey just laughed at his brothers for not thinking he'll be popular, but deep down he was hoping, no, praying that his brothers weren't right. He reassured himself by thinking about all the times he was right and his brothers were wrong. Dewey and Louie began to get annoyed.

"Fine, you know what, you do you." Dewey said as he turned off his desk light.

"Yeah, it's your social funeral. Dewey and I are gonna go to that cool birthday party that you weren't invited to." Louie said as he turned off his desk light. Huey was thinking about those words as he drifted off to sleep. He wanted to become popular so bad, he knew would do anything to achieve his goal. As he fell asleep, he started thinking about how cool it would be to be popular. He was thinking of all the cool parties he would be able to go to, all the friends he would make, and everyone chanting his name. He started to dream about being one of the cool kids, but then he started to think of something. He didn't understand why his brothers were so worried about him hanging with his new friends. In fact, he didn't understand why he was so worried about it. All he knew is that he couldn't wait till Monday, because Monday will be the day that will change his status from king of the nerds to king of the cool kids.
