FROM THE MIXED-UP FILES OF PRINCIPAL KELLY CHAPTER THREE
Lance opened the door amid cries of "Goomba Boy! Goomba Boy! Goomba Boy!".
"OK, OK, I'm the Goomba Boy." Lance yawned. "Now can I go to bed?"
"Bed? But the night is young!" protested Tabby.
"The clock says 2:19." Lance pointed to a wall clock.
"Gimme-a-boost-Fred." ordered Pietro. Freddy picked him up. Pietro grabbed the clock and proceeded to smash it into little pieces. "I-don't-see-any-clock." he laughed.
"Hey you're right? Where'd it go?" Freddy looked confused.
Lance groaned. 'I could have stayed at Mutant Manor, but nooo! I had to go back here. Stupid Summers, if he wasn't such a loser..' his thoughts were interrupted by the Brotherhood.
"Yoo hoo, Rocky, is anybody in there?" Tabby asked.
"Forget it, yo. Sometimes I think that loser's got rocks in his head, er, hello Lance. How's it hanging, bro?" Toad smiled nervously because Lance had heard every word he'd said and was now proceeding to pound his fists together. "I was just fooling, yo, can't you take a joke?" Toad started to back away.
Lance grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up into the air. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you." he growled.
Toad tried to think of something that would save his life and in desperation he called out, "Yo! Fearless leader. What about that entertainment you promised?"
"Right-here! Brotherhood-members-I-give-you-your-permanent-records-courtesy-of-Principal-Kelly." Pietro announced triumphantly.
"Way to go!" cheered Lance.
"That's it Rocky, get into the spirit!" Tabby urged him on.
"Now we can have heat!" Lance pulled out his lighter, "Bonfire!"
"Jeez-Lance-what'd-you-do? Swap-brains-with-Freddy? We-have-to-read-them-first!" Pietro cried. Everyone, even Freddy, looked at Lance as if he were a moron.
Lance sighed. He knew when he was beaten. "Fine." he agreed. "First we read them. Then we burn them."
"Honestly, Rocky, you're no fun anymore. When did you become such a worrywart?" asked Tabby.
Freddy pulled out a notebook. "Exactly 2 months, 3 weeks, and 6 days ago." he replied.
"Yeah, I remember that. That was when he started drooling over Kitty, yo." said Toad.
Lance blushed furiously. "Just because you don't have dates doesn't mean that some of us don't have to make sure that nothing goes wrong between now and the school dance so they can actually go!" he said hotly. A faint rumble was heard
"Easy, tiger." said Tabby. "Destroying the roof isn't exactly staying out of trouble."
"Fine." Lance grumbled.
"C'mon, Pietro. I wanna see my record! Share the wealth, yo!" Toad was hopping up and down frantically.
"Wait-your-turn. We'll-lookit-yours-later." Pietro brushed Toad aside with a wave of his hand.
"Whose are we gonna start with?" asked Freddy.
"Why-the-great-Pietro-Maximoff-of-course." Pietro said simply.
"Of course." the others chorused.
