The Secret Diary of Fred Dukes
Day 1: Monster Truck show was great, until I tripped and everybody started laughing at me. Like it's my fault they put the roll-bars so high on these trucks. I told the manager to get the model that hadn't been recalled, but do they ever listen to me? No-oo!"
Day 2: Quit truck-pulling job. Met some school principal last night who said I can go somewhere that my talents will truly be appreciated. Said their home ec. classes are great, too. All right! Now I can follow my lifelong dream and become a chef!
Day 3: Not liking New York so far. Seems like there's no place to get a decent meal around here. At least back in Texas you could find a steer around when you felt like barbeque. Around here, steak's $100 bucks, and that's just for the worst part of the cow.
Day 4: First day at Bayville off to a rocky start. Annonying cockroach named Duncan laughed at me, so I decided to help him re-organize his locker, with him in it. Met cute girl named Jean, also. She asked me if I was new here. Wonder if she asks that to every student who can rip a locker off the wall with his bare hands?
Day 5: Glad I am here at Bayville after all. Have decided that their kitchen staff can definitely benefit from my talents after sampling their lunch menu. Burgers are decent but cafeteria selections lack nutrition overall. Lunch later broken up by a student doing John Belushi impersonation.
Day 6: Can't believe I lost that food fight; guess I shouldn't have eaten lunch so fast. Note to self, eat slower to conserve potential ammo in future.
Day 7: Jean told me about special institute she lives at for people with cool powers. Might go, if I didn't have to see her shady boyfriend there. Thinks he's all tough just because he can make light flash off his sunglasses whenever he's got a close-up. Doesn't he realize I could squash his head with one hand?
Day 8: Heh heh. Got Summers out of the picture, now I can have some fun with Jean.
Day 9: Wondering how Jean managed to come into school wearing cargo pants and leave wearing a miniskirt. Tried to ask her out for soda, but she said she had "stuff" to do. Like that's the best she can come up with. I'll try exuding some machismo for her, hopefully I won't exude any sweat on her in the process.
Day 10: I think Jean was about to say yes to a date, but some construction workers got all clumsy and dropped a bunch of bricks on us before she could answer. Managed to keep her from getting too banged up, and I figure saving her from certain death's bound to score some points.
Day 11: Dinner date with Jean ruined by traveling shish-kebob salesman in yellow suit. Starting to miss Texas, at least they had the sense to keep homicidal drifters like that locked up.
Day 12: Hate Summers more than ever, although his little light beams kinda tickle. Reminds me of my favorite blanket I had when I was growing up. I sure do miss that tent.
Day 13: Decided to keep away from Jean from now on. Still think she's cute but she'd probably kill me the next time I tried something.
Day 14: Got send on bad trip to landfill by psycho goth-girl with eyebeams like Summers. Didn't know he had a sister; if so, she must have got the good side of the powers; those things actually hurt a bit. Food not too bad here but can't stand seagulls. Think I would have been better off staying in Texas after all.
