Chapter 2: Trouble with the Dare

Both Johnny Test, and even his arch rival-Sissy Bladely were out of luck with their recent dare in trying to see who would last the longest in drinking the most coffee. It was the next day, and both didn't seem too happy that it would come without finishing their dare. As the school bus came toward Johnny's house, the bus was usually full with an empty seat right next to his arch rival-Sissy Bladely. The flaming-headed boy simply didn't care and sat right next to her.

"So, any luck trying to drink some of that coffee, and try to proclaim victory in my face?" asked Johnny to Sissy.

Sissy for a few minutes didn't respond to Johnny's comments.

"Ha, I knew it, you're silent because your mom probably didn't let you drink any of that icky black coffee too!" laughed Johnny.

"Alright Test, it's true, my mom didn't allow me to drink any of that stuff because she said that I couldn't handle it" replied Sissy.

"Hey, I got that same response as well" added Johnny, "from my dad."

"Look Test, I know we don't usually get along at school, and other activities such as sports, but if we want to see who is better here" continued Sissy as she swallowed a gulp of air, "then we're going to have to, er, work together."

"Say, are you two trying to get a sip of this stuff here?" asked Bumper as he overheard their little chat from the seat in back of them, showing that he had managed to buy some coffee before getting on the bus.

"Hey, I thought the Principal said you couldn't have any of that stuff?" asked Johnny.

"I'm getting to the point in my age where I'm considered to be older, thus I can handle this stuff along with also needing the extra energy to wail on kids like you" laughed Bumper to which Bumper then held the coffee quite high out of reach from both Sissy and Johnny, "come on, if you two wish to have this coffee why don't you try to work for it."

"We don't need YOUR help here" replied Sissy, "we can come up with ways to see who'll last longer."

"Sorry, but I'm afraid if you two ever dared each other in a coffee drinking contest it'll end up in a draw!" laughed Bumper who then calmly turned back the other way in his seat.

"This isn't fair!" cried Johnny, "Bumper gets to have coffee, and not be scolded at by Mr. Teacherman or the Principal but we can't ever have a taste of the stuff to see who'll be better at drinking it."

"As much as I don't like you, I kind of agree with that" replied Sissy, "but we need to first come up with a plan to sneak into the Teachers' Lounge."

"I think I might have an idea, when the bell rings for nutrition, meet where no other kids usually play" said Johnny.

After a few hours of school, it was finally nutrition time for both Johnny and Sissy. Sissy raced toward the area of the school, where Johnny had two pairs of stilts laying out for Sissy, and the other pair for himself.

"Okay, what's your plan now Test, act like a clown in front of the teachers?" asked Sissy.

"Actually, we're going to pose ourselves as substitute teachers" replied Johnny as he also managed to get out some trench coats.

"But they'll still recognize that we're just kids on stilts!" cried Sissy.

"No they won't" replied Johnny as he also grabbed a fake beard and placed it onto his chin, and handed over a white wig to Sissy.

A few seconds later, both of them had managed to get into their disguises and also on their stilts in their long trench coats.

"Now follow my lead" said Johnny as he was coming up toward the Principal and Mr. Teacherman.

"Er, can I help you two?" asked the Principal as he didn't realize the two "adults" were really Johnny and Sissy in disguise.

"Oh yes" replied Johnny as he was doing his best to make his voice sound deeper, "we're substitute teachers here, and we would like to have access to the Teachers' Lounge after a the morning hours of watching over the kids we've been assigned to."

"Well, you two seem to be believable" said the Principal as he handed Johnny the keys, "go right on in."

"Wow, I can't believe that actually worked" whispered Sissy to Johnny.

"Yeah, I know" replied Johnny.

But Mr. Teacherman was quite suspicious, as he thought the Principal had already GIVEN those two substitute teachers a spare key to the Teachers' Lounge.

"Er, sir, I don't want to be bothering you now but didn't you already give them a spare key?" asked Mr. Teacherman to the Principal.

"What a second?!" cried the Principal who realized he had been tricked.

But it was too late, at the very moment, Johnny was at the door where the Teachers' Lounge was. He had placed the key, in the key hole, and began to turn it.

"Come on Test, I want to drink some of that coffee so I can beat you at it!" shouted Sissy.

"Don't worry, I'm opening it" replied Johnny to which both of them were shocked to see that two REAL substitute teachers which ironically just looked like what they were disguised were sitting at the table also shocked to see what seemed like mirror images of themselves, "whoa, didn't see this coming!"

"What do we do?!" cried Sissy.

"Ditch these costumes and run!" cried Johnny.

The two immediately took off their costumes, and Sissy threw off the wig right on the ground. They scrambled and ran a few paces away to hide in a locker which Johnny didn't know it was Bumper's locker.

"We should be safe here" said Johnny, which he spoke too soon as Bumper opened up the locker and noticed both Sissy and Johnny hiding in it.

"What the heck are you two doing here?!" cried Bumper, "If I were going to stuff both of you in a locker, it first wouldn't be mine, and second I would have done it myself!"

"Here's something that belongs to you!" shouted Sissy as she threw one of Bumper's books, knocking him unconscious.

"Come on, let's get the heck out of here before we get in trouble!" cried Johnny.

"I'm on it!" cried Sissy.
