Lukes New TR47 Fanfic Chapter III: The Truth Behind Miss Winduck
"Joey! Luke! Are you two passing notes again?!" Miss Winduck yelled.
Luke and Joey both looked up at the same time, and Luke hid the folded up piece of paper in the cover of his textbook. He tried not to look guilty as Miss Winduck stomped back to their desks.
"Give me the note," Miss Winduck said sternly.
"We weren't passing notes, I swear," Joey said quietly.
"I saw you passing notes! Give it to me!"
"We weren't passing any notes!" Luke nearly yelled at her.
Miss Winduck made a sound that made the whole class jump, then picked up Luke's textbook and yanked the piece of paper out from behind the cover. She tore it up, then tossed the shreds on Luke's desk.
"Stay after class, both of you. Then we'll see just how willing you are to lie in my face again."
Miss Winduck stomped up to the front of the room and turned around. "I WANT THE WHOLE CLASS TO ANSWER ALL 200 QUESTIONS IN YOUR TEXTBOOK AND HAVE THEM READY BY TOMORROW!"
Miss Winduck then sat down and swore loud enough that the class began furiously flipping through the pages in their books. It hadn't been a particularly good day in class. Joey and Luke weren't the only ones who had gotten in trouble, which is why Miss Winduck had blown up like that.
Luke and Joey glanced at the clock a little while later. There wasn't much time until the bell would ring, so they both quickly put their stuff away. They quietly out on their backpacks and watched the clock carefully. Right when the bell rang, they both bolted for the door and ran down the hall. Miss Winduck had just glanced up by the time they were out the door, so she didn't have a chance to react.
It was the second period of the day, so Luke and Joey wouldn't have to deal with Miss Winduck again until tomorrow. They returned to their lockers a few minutes later to drop off their backpacks, then walked home. Neither of them planned on doing the 200 problems Miss Winduck gave them, because they thought it was unfair.
Once they got to Luke's apartment, they went in and got Michi. Melanie was off buying stuff, so they decided not to wait until she got back. They left a note for her, then left. All three of them headed to the arcade, and were planning on spending a few hours there. Joey had a funny feeling that something was going to happen soon, but she didn't know what . . .
Tac walked to the lab and observed the reconstruction that was taking place. It had been completely cleaned out, and the machines that had been destroyed were being rebuilt. He walked back to his office, then sat down at his desk.
Tac pulled an address book and began flipping through the pages slowly. Tac was looking for phone numbers belonging to people who could help him find Joey. As he was flipping, he paused on a page and read the name. The last name was the only thing written. It was Winduck.
Tac paused and thought for a second. Why did the name sound familiar? After a few seconds, Tac realized why he recognized the name. Miss Winduck was a teacher at Pokemon Tech in a very high position. She knew all the students by name, which Tac knew would be useful. She was also a member of Team Rocket.
Tac picked up the phone, then dialed the phone number written next to her name. After a rings, Miss Winduck answered in a rather irritated tone of voice.
"Miss Winduck, it's Tac."
"What do you want? I'm busy," was the reply.
"I was wondering if you could help me. Do you, by chance, know a student at Pokemon Tech that goes by the name Joey?"
"As a matter of fact, I do," Miss Winduck responded, suddenly sounding very interested. "Why do you ask?"
"That's confidential. I want you to bring Joey to the headquarters. If you know of any other students like her, bring them too. It would be greatly appreciated."
"I'd be glad too," Miss Winduck replied.
Tac hung up the phone, then put away the address book. That had gone much more smoothly than expected. He knew Miss Winduck to be quite strict, which is why he was surprised at how generously she had treated him. Tac didn't really care, because Miss Winduck would be bringing him what he wanted the next day . . .
After they had been playing at the arcade for a while, Melanie showed up. They played games for another hour, then went to a nearby fast food place to get dinner. While they were eating, a dark feeling came over Joey again. She still wasn't sure what it was, but she didn't like it.
After they finished eating, they went back to Luke's apartment and watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which seemed to be a favorite of everybody's. After the movie was over Joey and Melanie went back to their apartment to get some sleep. Melanie had to get up early, and so did Michi. Melanie was helping Michi at the Pokemon Center, so she wasn't able to apply to Pokemon Tech either.
Luke went into his room and looked around. He got the feeling that someone was watching him, but there wasn't anybody in his room. It made him nervous and paranoid, but the feeling wouldn't go away. Luke eventually dismissed the thought and crawled into bed. When Luke turned off his light, he saw a pair of eyes glowing faintly.
Luke immediately switched him lamp back on and rolled sideways off the bed in alarm. He hit the floor with a loud thud, waking Michi. Luke stood up and faced the Black Mew that was sitting on the floor across the room, giggling like mad.
"Magick, how many times have I told you not to do that?!"
"But it's so funny!" she replied, standing up.
Michi came running in moments later and saw Magick standing on the floor. "Oh, it's just Magick. In that case, I'm going back to bed."
Magick jumped up onto the bed, then turned to face Luke. "So, what's up?"
"Clouds," Luke replied smartly.
Magick floated into the air and poked Luke with her tail. "Seriously, what's been happening?"
Luke then rambled on for 20 minutes straight about everything that had been happening recently. It had been a few weeks since Magick had last visited, so Luke had a lot to say. Magick didn't interrupt the whole time until Luke got to the parts about Miss Winduck.
"Okay, that's enough. I don't want to hear about her," Magick said quickly.
"Good, because I don't wanna talk about her."
Magick smiled, then looked around. "I thought you said you were going to reorganize your room."
"I was, but that was postponed by Pokemon Tech. I'll reorganize my room when I get time."
"In other words never."
Luke laughed and pushed Magick away from him, then sat down on his bed. Magick giggled at her comment, then landed on the bed next to Luke. She then changed into her Anthro form, her black hair pulled back in a ponytail.
"So, what are the plans for this weekend?" Magick asked.
"I never plan anything. We're always spontaneous with what we do on the weekend," Luke replied. He yawned, then said, "I gotta get some sleep, otherwise I won't wake up in time for class tomorrow."
"Sure thing," Magick replied quietly. "I'll just hang around, and tomorrow we'll figure out what to do on the weekend."
Magick hopped off the bed and stood up, then Luke pulled the blanket over himself. "There's an extra blanket in the closet. You can sleep on the couch."
Magick nodded and smiled, then bent down and kissed Luke on the cheek. She walked out of his room after grabbing a blanket, then closed the door to Luke's bedroom. Luke was glad that the lamp was so dim. Magick hadn't been able to see how much he was blushing. He switched off the lamp, then heard Magick trip on something and stumble in the hall. He tried not to laugh as Magick walked back into his bedroom.
"I'm sleeping in here. I'd rather not trip on something else trying to get to the couch," Magick said, sounding a bit irritated.
"Er, okay," Luke stuttered.
Magick transformed into her Mew form, then curled up into a ball at Luke's feet. She fell asleep, then Luke did a few minutes after her. While Luke was asleep, he had a strange dream. He was in Miss Winduck's office, and she was yelling at usual. Suddenly members of Team Rocket burst in the office and shot him and Joey. He woke up, then glanced at the clock. It was morning already, and he didn't have much time to get ready.
Luke quickly threw off his blankets, causing them to pile up on top of Magick. He quickly ran into the bathroom with a change of clothes, then took a quick shower. After getting ready and eating breakfast, he grabbed his backpack and ran out the door.
The same thing happened to Joey, so they both ran to school together. By the time they had gotten the stuff from their lockers, they were already late. They opened the door to Miss Winduck's room and walked in, then walked back and sat down in their desks. Miss Winduck gave them a 15 minute lecture about being late, then told them both to stay after class.
The first thing Miss Winduck did was collect everybody's homework. Luke and Joey hadn't done it, but Miss Winduck wasn't all that shocked. In fact, she almost seemed to be happy about it. A little too happy, and it made Joey and Luke uncomfortable.
When the bell rang, Miss Winduck didn't even try to stop Joey and Luke from leaving. They both looked back at the door, then shrugged their shoulders and put their stuff in their lockers. They walked home and ate lunch, then headed back to the school for second period.
That period Miss Winduck wasn't quite so kind. Joey and Luke noticed it immediately, and it confused them. Why had she been so nice to them the previous period? Miss Winduck seemed to be trying to find any way possible to yell at them.
Once the bell rang at the end of class, Joey and Luke collected their stuff again, expecting to get out of the room easily. They were the last ones out the door, but then they were both snagged by Miss Winduck.
"I told you to stay after class last period, but you two never did. What is your explanation for that?"
Luke and Joey both shrugged their shoulders, then Miss Winduck shut the classroom door angrily. "In my office! Now!"
Luke and Joey both walked into her office reluctantly. Miss Winduck lectured them for an hour straight about various things. Joey and Luke didn't see any point in the lecturing, but Miss Winduck did it a lot. Luke's ears twitched as he heard something behind him. Suddenly there was a sharp pain in his arm and he became extremely groggy. He fell over and felt someone catch him, then he passed out . . .
Tac jumped when his phone rang. He had been half-asleep, and wasn't expecting anyone to call. He picked up the phone, then smiled when he heard Miss Winduck's voice.
"What do you have to report?" Tac asked eagerly.
"They will be at the headquarters in minutes," Miss Winduck replied.
"They?" Tac asked, a bit confused.
"Yes, they. Joey has been captured, as well as an Anthro Raichu by the name of Luke."
"Excellent. The boss will be sure to give you a bonus for this." Suddenly a beep was emitted from Tac's phone. "If you'll excuse me, I have another call. Good work."
Tac pressed a button on the phone and switched lines. "What is it?"
"They have arrived," a scientist said. "We've fitted them with restraining collars and they're being held in the prison area."
"I'll be right there," Tac said quickly. He dropped the phone into the cradle, then grabbed his lab coat.
Tac walked down the halls quickly, heading for the cell block area of the headquarters. He came to a heavy metal door, then stopped. He pulled his ID card out from under his lob coat and swiped it through a scanner. He adjusted the necklace that the card was attached to while placing it back under his lab coat.
A few moments later the scanner beeped, then Tac heard a loud click as the door unlocked. He opened the door and walked through, then the door locked again as it swung shut. Tac walked up to the security desk, then got on a computer and began scrolling through a list of names on the screen. He checked what cell Joey and Luke were in, then walked through another door.
As Tac walked through the second door, he saw numerous rows of prison cells. The door closed behind him, and he began walking forward. Joey and Luke were in Cell 22B. Tac stepped into a waiting elevator and pressed the button for the second floor.
When the doors opened, Tac stepped off the elevator and looked around. He walked down a long corridor and came to another section of the prison. He immediately two guards standing in front of one of the cells. He walked over to that cell and smiled. Joey and Luke were both still asleep. The sedatives would wear out soon, so they would be waking up at any moment. Tac pulled up a chair and sat down, waiting patiently. He wanted to be the first to talk to Joey and Luke once they woke up . . .
Michi glanced at the clock on the wall and sighed. She was getting really worried. It was 7:30, and Luke still wasn't home yet. He always left a message for her or something if he was going to be out late, but Michi hadn't seen any messages at all. She started pacing back and forth across the floor, then jumped when there was a knock at the door.
Michi quickly ran to the door and pulled it open, but was slightly depressed when she saw that it was Melanie. Melanie quickly walked inside and Michi shut the door behind her. Michi could tell that she was stressed about something.
"What's up?" Michi asked Melanie.
"Joey hasn't come home yet, and I haven't heard from her all day," Melanie replied frantically. "She was supposed to take me to the store so that I could buy some stuff that I need."
Michi stopped and turned in Melanie's direction. "Joey hasn't been home yet either?"
"No, why?"
"Because Luke is missing too."
Magick walked out of Luke's bedroom a few moments later in her Mew form. She lad been listening to the whole conversation. "Something bad has happened to them. I can feel it."
They talked for a few more minutes, then they all left and walked to the police station. They explained their situation to Officer Jenny, then went home. Officer Jenny had agreed to search for them, but a recent string of robberies had her busy already.
It seemed hopeless, so they decided that they would search for them by themselves. Magick's psychic abilities would help quite a bit, but for some reason she couldn't communicate with Joey. It would be tough, but they weren't going to just give up . . .
"Joey! Luke! Are you two passing notes again?!" Miss Winduck yelled.
Luke and Joey both looked up at the same time, and Luke hid the folded up piece of paper in the cover of his textbook. He tried not to look guilty as Miss Winduck stomped back to their desks.
"Give me the note," Miss Winduck said sternly.
"We weren't passing notes, I swear," Joey said quietly.
"I saw you passing notes! Give it to me!"
