A Wonderful Normal American School

The next few weeks passed if not smoothly with a limited amount of insanity. Only one teacher resigned and no security guards were injured. The ghost incident soon was somewhat forgotten for some strange reason and some degree of normalcy had come to Bayville High.

That is until the day Governor Endicott and Senator Bainbridge came.

The students who had passed the test with flying colors were well dressed and at the podium. Even the Brotherhood was dressed somewhat well. There were several reporters surrounding Kelly. "Well of course it is an honor to be chosen 'School of the Year,'" He smiled. "Bayville High represents the future of this country. The students of tomorrow leading the way to a bright future. Any other questions?"

"Yes," One reporter asked. "What do you have to say about the discipline problems at this school?"

"Well while I will not pretend that Bayville High is perfect, we have low tolerance for inappropriate behavior," Kelly said. "But the majority of the students are law abiding good students."

"Then how do you explain the disappearance and or resignation of at least 12 security guards in less than two weeks?" The reporter continued. "In fact, according to my investigation, Bayville High is on the black list of several security agencies."

"That's an exaggeration," Kelly gulped. "We tried a few agencies and they didn't work out. That's all. Bayville High is not a school filled with weirdoes and delinquents."

"Oh yeah? Then how do you explain your car being filled with chocolate pudding?" The reporter continued.

"Yeah and so's my news van!" Another reporter shouted.

"Did I mention that our choir got top honors at the regional competition?" Kelly gulped, turning to the choir. "Why don't you kids sing?"

"We love you Bayville, oh yes we do! We're proud of you Bayville and we'll be true! We stand for pride and honor too! Oh Bayville we love you!" The chorus sang.

"Let's give them a hand ladies and gentlemen," Kelly clapped his hands. "Yes Bayville High where both students and teachers strive for excellence!"

"Does that include one Henry McCoy?" Another reporter consulted his notes. "The nutcase who turned himself into a monster a few months ago and is still running around loose?"

"What about that one student who was arrested for stealing money during one of your fundraisers?" Another said. "Plus several other students with juvenile records?"

"Let's hear again from the choir shall we?" Kelly was starting to perspire. The chorus belted out another round of 'We Love You Bayville.' "Very nice," Kelly said.

"Kelly is it true that this school has an earthquake problem?" Another reporter asked.

"No, no," Kelly was starting to sweat even harder. "That's ridiculous. Next question?"

"What about rumors that the school is haunted?" Another reporter asked. "Demon sightings. And wasn't there some kind of monster infestation during a dance not to recently?"

"No," Kelly said. "Those are just silly rumors. Boy is it getting hot in here or is it just me?"

"Then how did the gym get destroyed twice this semester?" A reporter asked.

"SING!" Kelly shouted.

"We love you Bayville, oh yes we do! We're proud of you Bayville and we'll be true! We stand for pride and honor too! Oh Bayville we love you!"

"I think it's time for the Governor to speak," Kelly looked around. "Uh, wherever he is…"

"Oh brother," Scott looked around. "Where's the Brotherhood? I don't see them anywhere."

"I got a bad feeling about this," Rogue grumbled.

"Oh here they are," Kitty waved as the Brotherhood reached the podium. "Where have you guys been?"

"Hi Kitty!" Lance knocked Risty aside so he could sit next to her.

"WATCH IT YOU JERK!" Risty snapped. Then she realized all eyes of everyone in the gym were on her. "Um, I mean excuse me please?" She blushed.

"Will you guys just keep it under control for once?" Scott snapped. He looked around. "Where's Tabitha?"

"Getting a soda," Todd said.

"Oh no…" Scott gulped as he heard an all too familiar boom ring from back stage. Suddenly people were screaming everywhere. Tabitha came out from the chaos drinking a soda. "Tabitha please tell me you didn't do what I think you did."

"Somebody call an ambulance!" Someone shouted. "Senator Bainbridge has been hit in the head with a soda can!"

"The vending machine looks like it exploded!" Another persons shouted.

"I'm okay…" Senator Bainbridge said in a funny voice before he fell unconscious.

"Tabitha I'm shocked at you!" Scott snapped.

"For some reason I'm not," Rogue grumbled.

"Um since Senator Bainbridge is…indisposed," Kelly gulped as the sound of an ambulance grew nearer. "And the Governor is not ready yet, why don't we listen to a song by our own Bayville High Chorus?"

"Oh great," Rogue rolled her eyes. "Just what we need to hear. Musical torture."

"Actually Rogue you might like this," Todd giggled.

"What did you do?" Scott gulped.

Then the chorus started to sing a song. Not one of the standard songs by a long shot.

Welcome to Bayville High!

In the summer it's too hot, in the winter it's too cold!

The teachers are all drunk or insane

And the cafeteria sells artificially colored mold!

We're proud of Bayville High!

This sacred learning abode!

Where ghosts and demons run wild

And the vending machines explode!

This is our school, Bayville High

Where life is never boring

Where students are always running for their lives

And only the subs are snoring

Our basketball team is a joke!

Our football team hasn't won a game

Our chess club is always getting beat!

Our sports teams are so lame!

The school's full of jocks and preps

Our principal is a geek

The science lab just blew up

And our gym burnt down last week.

So come on down to Bayville High!

We'll have a grand old time!

We've got monsters and earthquakes for the kids!

And the halls are covered in slime!

Bayville High is so much fun1

They sell beer here by the keg!

If you think we're actually learning anything here,

You've got to be pulling my leg!

"I wrote it myself!" Pietro said proudly.

"What did you do?" Kitty snapped. "Switch their music?"

"Actually I bribed them," Pietro smiled. "They have very reasonable rates."

"You said you wouldn't do anything!" Scott hissed.

"We lied," Pietro smirked. "Now sit back and enjoy the show!"
