The Other Sky High
By Nasamuffin
A/N
I saw The Brothers Grimm last night and was staying up to avoid nightmares, and suddenly I had a vision: Will Stronghold as a villain, Layla making out with Zach, the Popsicle going with Gwen. And so, I wrote the first chapter of an alternate plotline fanfic. NO, there is no dramatic kissing and/or villainous acts yet, so there. Please R&R, I'd really appreciate.

I do not own any characters from Sky High. There aren't any made-up characters as of yet for me to own, either.
Chapter One: "Psh! Freshmen!"
Will Stronghold attempted to bench the weights once more, but his effort was futile. He flopped back, breathing hard, when he heard footsteps approaching his room. He sat up, nearly braining himself, to see his father open up the door.
Will's father was famous all over the world. Not figuratively. Steve Stronghold, a.k.a. the Commander, was known as the world's greatest superhero. He possessed super strength and worked with his wife, Jetstream.
"So, son, you excited for your first day of school?" he asked, as if he didn't quite realize his fame.
"Yeah, I guess," Will replied. He stood and gathered his backpack from the floor of his room. "Well, gotta jet, can't miss the bus," he said, a bit too cheery. He walked down the stairs mumbling things about his father.
He was greeted with the sight of Layla, his 'friend' since first grade. He had asked her why her lima bean grew so fast, and she had taken that as an invitation to stomp around wherever she damn well pleased, especially in Will's business. His parents simply adored her, however, and Will hated them for it.
Layla, of course, seemed oblivious.
"So Will, how've you been?"
"Exactly the same as yesterday, when you last saw me." Will had very little patience today.
Layla blushed. About to start again, she was cut off by Will's mother, Mrs. Stronghold.
"Hey, kids, isn't that your bus?" She pointed out the window.
Will nodded, grabbed his backpack, and got on the bus. He immediately went to sit by his friend Zach, while Layla asked the driver if this was the bus to Sky High. Suddenly, the doors snapped shut behind her and the bus driver was throwing a fit.
"Do you want every supervillain in the neighborhood to know where we are!" Collecting himself somewhat, he said, "That's the last stop. Next stop, Sky High!"
The freshmen watched in horror as Ron Wilson, bus driver, drove into a construction zone. The signs all said that the bridge gave out, but Ron paid no attention. He went full speed off the edge of the bridge, and suddenly the class was screaming and in freefall. Ron glanced back at them, turned on the school bus's jet mode, and muttered something under his breath.
"Psh! Freshmen!"
A/N: Yes, I know, it's too short, and I'm sorry about it. Like, reeeally sorry. Feel free to yell at me. I'm not very good at this. R&R!
