Hey here's chapter 2 for everyone. I don't own sky high, I only own the characters Felicity and Phoebe along with possible twists. Please be kind and review, now enjoy chapter two!...See how they rhymed? haha awesomeness.

The day couldn't have been going slower. We don't do anything the first day of school because the freshman are being sorted out and they could be put in any of our classes. You'd figure they'd set aside specific classes for freshmen only but who knows. Some freshmen though do have the ability to be in an upperclassman class. That's probably why we wait until the second day to do any actual work.

This was my last class before lunch and then I had to discuss with Lash and Speed some rules and regulations about the tradition. I'm not skipping class to deal with Speed and Lash's fun as they would call it. I was drumming my fingertips on my desk waiting patiently for the bell to ring. Felicity wasn't in this class with me, so I pretty much stayed in my own little world.

Soon the bell rang and I waited until people shoved themselves through the door. No need to squish my way through. Once most of the people filed out, I walked out and went straight to my locker. I quickly did my combination and went to throw my books in when it suddenly shut. I saw the striped clad arm slide back to who it belonged to.

"Was that really necessary?" I asked, not really annoyed by his antics.

"I thought it was completely necessary." He answered leaning up against the lockers.

"Well I needed to talk to you anyway so I'm actually glad you're here. Look about our bet…" I started.

"You're not backing out are you?" He had a devilish smirk that, which I kind of hated to admit, was cute.

"In your dreams. No I wanted to set some regulations. In between classes and lunch time is the only time that you bullying sidekicks count for the bet. I'm not skipping class to clean up you dirty work."

"Dually noted." I thought he went to walk away and I began to put in my combination again, but I felt someone behind me. I heard Lash whisper in my ear,

"See ya around Stronghold."

That kind of made me frozen in my spot before I was able to finish putting in my combination. I quickly threw my books in there and left for lunch. By the time I got there most everyone was already eating. I saw Felicity sitting next to her sister, and Will along with some people who I assumed to be their new friends. I made my way over to them and noticed they decided to sit right next to the table Warren Peace at.

As soon as I sat down Will asked, "Okay am I just crazy or is that guy really looking at me?"

Everyone but Felicity and I looked up for we knew exactly who that guy was and why he was staring.

"Dude, that's Warren Peace." Zack said, with a bit of fear in his voice.

"That's Warren Peace?" Layla asked in shock. She must have heard about him from Felicity at one point or another.

"Yea." Zach answered.

"Felicity told me about him. His mom's a superhero but his dad was a super villain. Baron Battle."

"So where do I come in?" Will inquired.

"Your dad busted his dad. Quadruple life sentence." The guy in the orange hoodie answered him.

"No chance of parole until after his third life." The girl with the purplish yet magenta colored hair strands had finished the kid's sentence.

"That's great. My first day at Sky High and I already have an archenemy."

"Don't take it too personally Will. He hates all Strongholds." I told him, maybe to ease his nerves.

Will slammed his juice down on his tray and questioned, "Is he still looking?"

"No." Layla answered.

"No?"

"No."

Will turned to glance over his shoulder and saw that Layla was wrong.

"I thought you said he wasn't looking." He said frustratedly.

"Relax Will; he won't try anything unless you get on his bad side." I told him for reassurance.

We began to eat our lunch in peace, but then I decided to ask who everyone was at the table.

"So Will, Layla who are your new friends?"

I knew Zach already but I wasn't sure about everyone else.

"Oh umm, that's Ethan." He pointed to the guy with the orange hoodie and thick rimmed glasses.

"And Magenta." Her name matched her perfectly I thought.

"Guys this is my sister Phoebe."

After the introductions, things got silent after that. Soon we all split up, except for Felicity and I and we had about fifteen minutes of lunch left. I saw Ethan leave the lunch room only to be followed by a mischievous Lash and Speed. I figured that this was going to be the first sidekick that they were going to pick on.

"Felicity I'll be right back."

I followed them until they disappeared in the guy's bathroom. This is insane. I was not going into the guy's bathroom. But if I let them dunk Ethan's head in the toilet then I was already going to start off by losing. I looked around to see if anyone was looking then quickly went in. I could hear gargling noises and flushing sounds followed by laughter. I ran over to the stall they were at and put Lash and Speed in two force fields, then suspended them in the air.

"No fair Stronghold!" cried out Speed, while Lash attempted to escape his floating trap.

"Sorry guys you said starting today and I said in between classes and lunch time. So according to my watch, this is completely fair game." I said while laughing.

I helped Ethan up and gave him back his back pack.

"Thanks Phoebe." He said with a faint blush rising on his cheek. I really hoped he wasn't getting the wrong idea with this.

I quickly said, "No problem."

I left the bathroom just as soon as those words escaped my mouth. As soon as I was out of the bath room, and I made sure Ethan left also, I let those two out of there traps. This was just becoming one big pain in the rear end.

The rest of the day was a bore until I got called down to the nurse's office. I walked in and saw Will sitting there with ice on his head.

"Dude, Will what happened?" I sat down on one of the seats in the office.

"Power placement's what happened. Boomer launched me across the room thinking that I'd be able to fly like mom."

"Ouch that must've hurt." He nodded.

"And it gets worse. I may never get my powers." I sighed.

"You are going to get your powers Will."

"Maybe…maybe not." I knew this conversation wasn't going to get anywhere.

"So how'd power placement go?" I asked him even though I pretty much already knew the answer to that one.

"Well I'm a sidekick. But I'm with all my friends so I don't think it'll be all that bad. I'm just dreading telling dad." I nodded.

"You should probably tell him right when we get home. It's probably better not to put this off."

He smiled. "You're probably right."

The last school bell rang and Will and I left the nurses office. "I think I'm gonna hang at Layla's for a bit after school, let mom and dad know okay?" Will said to me.

"Alright see you at home." I walked over to my locker and grabbed the stuff I needed to take home with me. I really did think Will was just a late bloomer and he was too worried about it. But if he was happy being hero support then hey, more power to him.

"Hey Phoebe." Felicity was already standing at my locker ready to go. "Why did they call you down to the nurse's office?"

"Will was flung across the room by Coach Boomer so they basically wanted me to go down there for family support type of thing." I replied.

She nodded her head. "Makes sense." I focused back on jamming crap in my book bag.

"So want to go to the paper lantern?" I asked. "I'm in the mood for Chinese food."

Felicity thought about it for a second. "I'd have to talk to my parents but I'm game."

"Schweet. Five sound good?"

"Yea sounds good." We walked out to the bus and headed home.

When I walked through the door Mom was busy making dinner and I didn't see Dad.

"Hey Mom is it okay if I go to the paper lantern with Felicity tonight?" I sat down at the small kitchen table.

"Yea honey that's fine."

She went back to cooking and then asked, "Where's your brother?" That's right I was supposed to tell them he went to Layla's.

"He went to Layla's. He'll be home in time for dinner."

"Well I really want to hear about his first day. How about you Phoebe? Want to tell me about your day?"

I thought about it and decided there wasn't much to tell, or at least there wasn't much I could tell her without getting myself into trouble.

"It was just like any old first day of school. Boring." I responded while laughing.

"Well just think. Two more years then you're off to save the world with your father and I. The Stronghold Four."

"Yea it'll be awesome mom."

Although in my mind I wasn't sure how awesome fighting crime with my family was going to be. Don't get me wrong. I love my family. But I want to go out and make a name for myself. My mom went back to cooking and I went upstairs to my room. I got out my laptop and decided to listen to my music until five rolled around. Five came a lot faster than I thought it would have and soon I was running down the stairs and out the door. I got to the paper lantern in about ten minutes.

The place wasn't busy from what I could tell, but when I got in there, I saw Felicity was already seated and was talking to Warren Peace. I knew she had a crush on the guy! From what I could tell she was having a good time. I didn't want to spoil her evening so I quickly texted her saying I couldn't make it because my family wanted me to stay home for dinner. She'd thank me for it later. I headed back home and when I did, Mom was setting the table while Dad was messing with his robot eye.

"I thought you were going to the paper lantern with Felicity." Mom questioned.

"I was but decided I wanted a home cooked meal instead." I lied. It wasn't a bad lie. It was more like I was covering for my friend. Not two seconds later Will walked through the door.

"Hey." My mom said in her soft voice. "How'd it go?"

"Dad, we need to talk." I'm glad Will was taking my advice and was getting right to the point.

"A little hero to hero talk? I think I know just the place, come on." Will followed Dad and I had a feeling I knew where Dad was taking him. To the secret sanctum.

"Hon?" My mom said before she tossed Dad the giant robot eye. He caught it with ease. I just hope Dad took the news with the same amount of ease.

About twenty minutes later, Wil and Dad finally came up and we were finally able to have dinner. They were both laughing and seemed to be having a good time. Dad apparently took the news well. Mother served beef stroganoff, which was very delicious. After dinner, Will went up to his room and I did the same, but I decided to talk to Will first. I knocked on the door and waited for him to answer.

"Hey Pheebs. Is there something you needed?"

"Yea I saw Dad took the news well." I noticed how he looked ashamed.

"You didn't tell him, did you?" I questioned with realization.

"He was so happy Phoebe. I just couldn't tell him."

"Alright Will. I won't make you tell him. Just the longer you wait, the harder it may be."

"I know Phoebe, and thanks."

"You're welcome. Just promise me you will tell him." I told him, wondering if he got what I meant. He did and we began a secret handshake we made when we were younger whenever we made a promise to each other.

It wasn't complicated; it was just a high five, then high four, and so on and so forth until we only had our pinkies left. We interlocked them then let go pounding our fists together. I have to say, my brother was probably one of my best friends. I heard a knock coming from the Will's window. I saw Layla standing there and waved. I waved back.

"I'll leave you be." I said leaving and heading to my room. I got on my laptop until around nine, when I decided to go to sleep, which unexpectedly filled me with dreams of fun, superhero crime fighting, and black and white stripes.

Hey, what'd you think? I'd really like to hear from people telling their thoughts...sso please review! I hoped you enjoyed!
