Commando App
I was the Davenports early that morning. I was sitting cross legged on a table down in the lab listening to Davenport tell the kids whether or not they could go to school. I hoped the answer was yes i'd really like to talk to someone other then Leo every now and again without it being to blackmail a foot ball player to leave the nerd alone.
"Ok guys, you have been trained for all kinds of missions, but you are about to enter a soul bruising confidence crushing apocalyptic environment…high school." Donald said, we were in the lab with Adam, Bree, and Chase, testing their glitches "Bree and Adam, your glitch test results are fairly stable" Davenport started.
"Yes, I'm going to high school!" Bree cheered happily.
"I'm fairly stable!" Adam was just equally as excited about something completely different.
"But Chase I am still concerned about your commando app." Donald said.
"Commando app, put on some underpants we're going to school!" Leo shouted.
"In the case of an imminent threat, Chase's Commando app kicks in and he becomes a fearless brut I like to call Spike." Donald said walking behind Chase "It's kind of like a flight or fight thing, except I took out the flight because that's useless, and I replaced it with a testosterone level of like a uh Tasmanian devil, wolverine, shark, lion, hybrid who's mad." He explained excitedly.
"Don't worry Mr. Davenport, I promise that Spike won't show his ugly head." Chase said.
"You mean like last Christmas when I made the mistake of giving Adam boxing clubs?" Mr. Davenport asked, I have a feeling this is where there is supposed to be a flashback.
"I'm still coughing up tensile." Adam shook his head in horror.
"You know, letting Chase going to school isn't such a good idea, I can't risk Spike getting out." Mr. Davenport said walking away.
"Come on big D, Chase has to come, with these guys I'll finally get a prime spot in the cafeteria." Leo said walking after him.
"That's right ya'll, put on your coats cause he's about to ride your tail." I said. "I on the other hand hate the cool kids and couldn't care less were I sit." I told them as I hoped of the table.
"Don't worry, we'll make sure he stays out of trouble, right guys?" Adam asked.
"Yeah, it's all for one and one for all, unless you guys make me look bad, then I'm dropping you lamos." Bree said walking over to me. "I'll just hang out Paige." She said abot to put her arm around me. "Don't!" I said and she put her arm down.
"I can't miss school, this is the beginning to my academic achievements and career trajectory, I mean, the road to astronaut lawyer has to start somewhere." Chase said. I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Ok, but I better not get a call from the art teacher saying Spike ripped out her larynx." Donald agreed.
Adam found his boxing gloves and accidentally punched Chase in the stomach "I'm sorry, but if he's that close to the gloves it's gonna happen." Adam admitted.
We all walked into the cafeteria, only to be greeted by the sight, of my worst enemy…Principal Perry. I hate that woman "She has the temperament of a junk yard dog stuffed into a really bad pants suit." Leo summed up, and he did a really good job too.
She shouted at a boy with a tongue ring and ran off after him "This is my chance for romance" Bree said spotting a boy from across the room "In the movies, the new girl always drops her books and the cute boy with the soulful eyes picks them up." Bree dropped her books and they dispersed all over the ground. My English teacher walked into the cafeteria and, unfortunately, slipped on Bree's books "Sorry, I'm new." She apologized.
"Oh, no…" I mumbled. The last thing I wanted was for Adam to fight the football players. He could take out our whole offensive line.
"What is it?" Chase asked. I pointed over to a table full of cheerleaders and Adam.
"Oh no, he can't sit there, that's where the football players sit with their girlfriends, and they enjoy finding clever places to put your pudding!" Leo shouted.
"They're actually talking to him, they're gonna get tired of talking about shapes and colors eventually." Chase said excitedly walking over to the table, Bree, Leo, and I soon followed.
"Hey…" Leo said looking at a cheerleader "You need to leave." He whispered over to Chase "How's it going?" He asked the cheerleader "You're in grave danger." He whispered again to Chase.
We all turned to the doors as the football plays came in, loudly I might add. I exchanged a worried look with Leo before trying my best to hide behind Chase's chair, I didn't need people knowing I was sitting here like some hopeful.
"Hey," One of the guys grabbed Chase's head and turned it to face him "That's my seat, get lost before I use you like a napkin." He high fived one of his friends and laughed, even though it wasn't even funny.
"Chase, we should probably go, he's not very absorbent." Bree laughed.
Trent then spilled water all over the table. Oh god. "Oh no, a spill! I think I'm going to wipe it up with your face." Chase was lifted up from the chair and I got slightly worried.
But then I heard a bone cracking sound and the chair was pushed back "Think again bubble neck, I'm gonna rip out your knee caps and use them as hockey pucks." A deep voice said, I had to stand up before I realized that it was Chase talking.
I ran over to the guys in a panic "Is this Spike?" I asked worriedly, Bree and Adam nodded.
Chase threw the guy back and he put his arms out "You have no idea who you're messing with, pudding cups!" He shouted. Two nerds handed him two pudding cups.
Chase was breathing heavily "I'll take those." He grabbed the two cups and squeezed them, causing their contents to squirt all over the foot ball players.
"You're dead!" The boy shouted, wiping the pudding from his face.
Chase screamed in his face and he backed up "Ok, you're just lucky that we have to go to the reading center right now." And with that, he ran out of the room.
"Take a seat compadres, this is our table now." Chase-I mean, Spike said sitting down and putting his feet up.
"I'm leaving." I said about to walk out of the cafeteria, but Leo stopped me.
"Paige, this is all we've ever dreamed of, being the cool kids! We can do anything now!" He told me.
"That's your dream Leo, I like the way my life is now and I don't want to end up like" I glanced back at "Spike" Who was totally taking advantage of the attention "Well, like that." I walked out of the cafeteria. I didn't like this new Chase, I like the old one, you know…as a friend. And I didn't want to be popular, I wanted to stay the same, I didn't want to turn into my sister the most popular girl in school, who I kind of sort of despise.
Later that day, I was getting stuff out of my locker when the guys came walking down the hallway "Make way for the Alpha Dogs. Woof woof woof!" Leo shouted, I rolled my eyes as I shut my locker.
"Hey Paige, want to sit with us at lunch?" Bree asked walking up to her.
"I'm not sure, is Spike going to be joining us because, I would like to eat my pudding." I said.
Just as I said that, Chase suddenly stopped puffing out his chest and shrunk back down "Commando App disengaged? Guys why was I in Commando mode?" Chase asked.
"You were in Commando Mode?" Bree lied.
"I didn't see any Commando Mode." Leo also lied.
"You looked fine to me." I too lied.
"Oh, that's good everyone keep lying." Adam just totally blew our cover.
"You guys were supposed to look out for me!" Chase shouted.
"Well, if it counts for anything, I didn't like Spike." I told him, he just gave me a look and I knew I wasn't helping much.
"Chase you should've seen yourself, you sucker punched the quarterback, and covered the defensive line in pudding." Leo told him.
Chase groaned "Yeah, if Spike doesn't come back by the time the team gets back from the reading center, I think it's safe to say you won't make it through your first day of school." I told him sadly.
"That's why it's so important to get him back. Get lost before I use you like a napkin!" Leo pushed pass me and started to smack Chase, he even tried to pick him up, but to no avail, because he was, well, Leo "Yeah, this is gonna work." I shook my head in agreement.
I agreed to sit with them at lunch to make sure we didn't have an unwanted guest…aka Spike "There's Trent" That's what his name was! "I better go apologize." Chase said, starting to stand up.
"Slow it up buttercup!" Bree pulled him back down.
"Mail him a greeting card it's so much more personal." Leo said.
"And a lot less life threatening." I added.
"Hey look guys, the cheerleaders cut up by food into tiny little pieces, I'm eating a turkey burger through a straw." Adam said excitedly "Mm, gibblety." He said after sucking up a piece. I grimaced and pushed my food away.
"Hey new kid, come here!" Principal Perry shouted, walking into the cafeteria. Chase quickly shot up and walked over to her, a nervous look on his face "Do you know what happens when my football players get humiliated?" Chase thought for a minute "No, you don't , because my football players don't get humiliated!" She shouted in Chases face.
"They look pretty humiliated to me." I said pointing over to Trent who just got hit in the head with a trash bag.
"Don't talk back to me Railstone." She shouted at me. I rolled my eyes.
"I know what sportsmanship is about, because I was the chammer on the North Pacific roller derby championship team." Perry bragged.
"Quite an accomplishment." Chase complimented.
"Don't mock me squash face!" She shouted at him "My career ended when a trash talker like you got inside my head and I wiped out, one zebra called it the worst single body collision she'd ever seen." Perry told him.
"I'd crash too if I saw a talking zebra." Chase tried to suck up again.
"It's a referee you desk dockey." Chase cowered "Trent told me what you did this morning at breakfast, you will not undermine the mural of my team, evacuate this table…NOW!" She shouted at us, we all scurried out of our seats.
Chase grew tall again "Watch who you're talking to sports bra!" He shouted "I bet you panicked, threw yourself off the track, and blamed the other team for your failure." He said.
"Do you think this spike thing is getting out of hand?" Leo asked.
"He might have crossed the line at sports bra." I nodded at Bree's words.
"I had to quit because of that accident." Perry said.
"Quit, or move out of the state in shame?" Spike asked.
"He doesn't know! He wasn't there!" Perry shouted at everyone.
"Why don't you hop In your economy car, and toddle on home to your six cats, and your online bingo tournament." Spike told her.
"Jokes on you, I have five cats! Ha!" Touché?
She walked over to Trent and they talked for a while, and she walked back over with the rest of the football team "Alright kid, I'll make you a deal, let's be civilized and settle this the old fashioned way, with a bone crushing grudge match on the football field." Principal Perry said.
"We're in, me, him, her, her…and him." Spike said pointing to all of us.
"Your band of nobodies versus my fighting Dingos." Principal Perry said.
"Who she calling a nobody, I got half a BFF necklace today." Bree said.
"I have the other have?" I said unsure about how it got there.
"Winner takes table, and glory" Trent whispered something to Principal Perry "And Trent gets a date with DJ Lennon over there." She said pointing to me.
My eyes got wide "Um, mam, as much as I would like to flex my football fanciness" Cue football pose "Girl's soccer has the field tonight." Leo pointed out. Oh thank god I didn't like dating especially note jerks like trent.
"Oh, just as well, I can't condone such a violent game on school grounds… so let's take it to the dog park across the street!" Perry shouted, running out of the cafeteria with the football team.
"Am I the only one who's going to need a fresh pair of pants before we start?" Leo asked.
"Yes, but at least you won't have to go on a date with brainless bob when we lose." I said, plopping back down in my chair sadly, and banging my head on the table.
A couple hours later, we were all lined up in front of the football team "This doesn't seem fair." Leo said, walking back over to us.
"Alright, let's huddle." I said.
"Huh?"
"Pardon me?"
"I huddled before I got here."
"Oh, right, you guys don't know how to play football." Leo said. I groned all that technology and Davenport coukdn't have slpied in some sports knowledge into them"Ok, we need to stop that team from getting into out end zone and scoring a-" There were some shouts from the other team, and before we knew it, they were scoring a "Touchdown." Leo said from the ground.
A while later in the game, it was Dingos-7 and Alpha Dogs-0. Yeah, I'm not good at football.
"Alright Adam, you squat down right here, and when I say hike, you pass the ball to my hand which will be right here." Leo put his hand between Adam's legs.
"Woah, it's football not hand ball." Adam said, standing up.
"Hey nugget" Spike said "Quit sucking air and hike me the ball, like this." Spike hiked him the ball and Leo panicked, two foot ball players came over and picked him up, caring him to the end zone and scoring another point.
~Scene Change~
"Losing makes me want to rip out my own intestines and wear them as sweat bands." Spike scowled.
"Ok" Leo told him "The only way we're going to win is if we use your super speed, your super strength, your super nutty split personality, and Trent's love for you." Ew.
We all huddled and came up with a plan "Hey, is that a biggie burger truck pulling up?" Leo pointed off into the distance.
"I'm not that stupid." Trent said. Now it's my turn.
"Hey, Trent!" I shouted in a voice that made me want to throw up.
"Hi Paige." He said dreamily. Why did he have to like me, I'm not even that cute!
"Oh, guess not, hike!" Leo shouted.
Bree had run in-between them and tied their shoes together, so when they tried to run, they were stuck.
Adam and Ch- Spike, ran at them and they scored a point. We all cheered and did our touchdown dances while Spike looked at us with judging eyes.
We had seven seconds left, and it was probably us who were going to lose, which meant I would be going on a date with Trent… this is so not my day…
"Ok, we have time for one more play, Spike you've scored every touchdown today, you score one more and we win." Leo said.
"Give me the ball, if I don't come back with their spleens, you'll know I failed." Spike said, strutting away "Wait, where am I? And, am I wearing a jockstrap?" Chase asked…wait..Chase.
"No, it's Chase, we need Spike to win, where is he? Where is Spike?" I shouted shaking Chases helmet, Adam pulled me away from him, so I wouldn't cause any brain damage.
"Let's go, I have dinner reservations at seven!" Trent shouted, winking at me.
"I told you, I don't want to be Spike, I've been waiting for my first day of school for 15 years and now I don't even remember it." Chase said.
"Chase, I like you just the way you are, being Chase…except for when I have a choice between going on a date with Trent, and not going on a date of Trent, in which case… SNAP OUT OF IT MAN!" I shouted grabbing his shoulders and shaking him.
"Look," Chase started, pulling my hands off of his shoulders "We can still win this thing, and if we don't what do we have to lose?" He asked.
"Our table."
"Popularity"
"My dignity"
"Everything"
We all listed reason to win "Here's what we're going to do, I'll throw a flea flicker pass to you" Leo said to Chase.
"And I'll use my mathematical analysis to throw the perfect pass." He said.
"Adam assume to position." Leo told him.
"Alright, but this is the last time I'm doing this." Adam pointed at us to make sure we got what he was saying.
"Ready, hike!" Leo yelled after Perry blew her whistle.
We carried out the play smoothly, until it came to Chase throwing the "Perfect" pass "You all look like scribbles!" He shouted.
Two players totally clothes lined Chase, and then dog piled on him "Game over, Dingo's win!" Perry shouted.
"NOOOOO!" I shouted, dropping on the ground.
"See you at seven Paige!" Trent shouted.
I was still sitting on the ground when the guys walked up to me "Paige's got a date, Paige's got a date" They sang. I took my current position as a weapon and hit them all in the shin, they screeched in pain.
"You got hit by a girl, you got hit by a girl." Bree and I sang.
Hope you liked it let me know what you thought!
