The New Groove

It was a bright, crisp day in Toronto. The sun shone overhead, sending beams of light down to the city below. In that city was a certain high school, and in that high school was a special project.

Noah, the school class president, was wearing his swimming trunks, blue with a dark red floral pattern, along with a white t-shirt. Breathing in deeply, he sighed with gladness.

"Ahh…nothing like a hot dip to take the strain off of a guy," he remarked.

Noah trotted into what was once one of the school rooms. In fact, it used to be the room a certain animal club had been using. But it was really different now. The back wall had been knocked down, and glass replaced it, so the room looked more like a greenhouse mixed with the CN tower. It looked over the school courtyard with the pool down below.

Noah grabbed a towel and walked to the other side of the room. He placed the towel at his feet, a few feet away from a brand new hot tub. The tub was nice and warm now, perfect for a bath.

"Let's do this, Tiny," Noah smirked.

DJ, also in swim trunks and kneeling next to Noah, nodded. "Okay."

Noah picked up something small and furry next to him. It was a happily panting dog. "Okay, in you go boy," Noah said as he picked up the dog and dunked him into the tub (the hot tub was the perfect size for dogs).

Behind him, a camera flashed, as the school paper got a perfect shot to run in their next issue. The other students cheered. Cody, Katie and Sadie came in, all with animals in tow, to help Noah and DJ christen the new animal club room. The duo continued to wash and dry the animals.

A little bit later, all the animals were in the courtyard around the pool, as well as many of the students, because Noah was holding a big barbeque. DJ walked up to Noah just as he finished talking to an interviewer.

"And I thought, why keep all these poor animals cooped up in some musty dank room? That's when I decided to renovate the room to make it a lot better for the animals. Hence, the glass balcony looking down at the pool, the miniature hot tub, and the other changes you saw."

"Noah, I found him!" DJ called.

"Really?" Noah asked. "Great! Where is he?"

"Over by the snacks table."

Noah walked over to the table, and sure enough, the guy he was looking for was there.

"Um, hey, listen," Noah began, addressing the person. "Um…what was your name?"

"Me?" The guy asked. "My name's Ezekiel, eh?"

"Listen Zeke," Noah started. "Sorry I was such a jerk to you several weeks back. If there's any way I can make it up to you, just ask."

Ezekiel smiled. "Don't worry about it, eh?" He said. "I get kick out of places all the time. Guess I'm just too wild, eh?" The two laughed together.

"So you're absolutely sure your okay."

"Yea man. It takes more than that to bring me down!" Ezekiel playfully punched Noah in the arm.

"Easy, Rocky," Noah mused. "I need to use that arm later."

"No problem," Ezekiel said. "Eh, are any of those dogs down here? I'm thinking about adopting one."

"Yea," Noah said. "They're by the other side of the pool."

"Great," Ezekiel said, trotting off.

DJ caught up with Noah, who was currently looking out at the party. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Some were swimming, some were eating, and others were dancing to some music.

"Great job with this event, Noah," DJ said. "The school's really taken a turn for the better."

"Hey, I couldn't have done it without your help, Tiny," Noah responded. "I really couldn't have done any of this."

"That's what pals are for," DJ said. He offered Noah a fist, and Noah pounded it.

"Want to go for a swim?" DJ asked. There were already several other people swimming around the pool, but there was definitely room for two more.

"I'm right behind ya!" Noah replied. DJ ran to the edge of the pool, yelled "Cannonball" and jumped in.

Noah stood at the edged of the pool for a minute. He looked down at his reflection. "Just making sure I'm still human…" Noah said, and then jumped in.

On the other side of the pool, where many of the animals relaxed in a wide pen, Owen was looking over them. "Aww…" Owen cooed. "You guys are so cute! I wish I could adopt every last one of you!"

"Yea!" Izzy added, who was clasping Owen's arm. "Then you could, like, start a pack Big-O! I have experience you know, because I read 'Call of the Wild' once, and then set out on an Alaskan expedition with Chihuahuas I stole from my neighbor and a sled made out of a lawn chair and a pair of skis!"

"Hey, I'd like to take a look at some of your dogs please?" Ezekiel asked Owen.

"Sure thing dude!" Owen said. "Heather, can you bring out a couple of dogs?"

Heather was still in her naked mole rat form, and in the pen with the rest of the animals. While she did have an animal club t-shirt, she was dressed up more like a janitor. "Forget it!" she said. "I didn't sign up to chauffer some mangy mutt around."

"Aww, c'mon Heather." Owen said.

"I said no!" She said. Just then, a bulldog walked up and licked Heather affectionately, covering her in a thick layer of dog drool.

"Gahh!" Heather screamed. "I HATE THIS CLUB! I HATE THIS SCHOOL!"

The End

A/N: Woohoo! My first real fanfic is really finished. And it took quite a while. A really big thanks to all who reviewed, and all who read. I hope you all enjoyed it.

If you like this story, I recommend you read my other TDI parody story, "A Bully Fairytale". Not that I've completed this one, that story should be updated more often.
