Chapter 11: Open Revolt, Day 1
April 19, 2004 dawned fresh and clear. Danny woke up much earlier than usual- one hour earlier, in fact.
"TODAY"S THE DAY!!!" he screamed as he bounded downstairs- only to find three disgruntled family members and one scared looking Tucker.
"Err... hi Mom, Dad, Jazz..." Danny said nervously. "So, err... why is everyone up early?"
"Well, he just happened to come to the door-" Mrs. Fenton said, pointing to Tucker- "and asked me where you were. He told us everything. You're starting up those open revolts again!"
"Err..." Danny said. "Yeah, about that..."
"I thought Mom and Dad said that- hey, where'd they go?" Jazz and her parents stood in the doorway as Danny and Tucker ran for their lives.
"Come back here or you're gonna be grounded for a year!" Mr. Fenton screamed. Reluctantly, Danny agreed to go a little later. He also pretended to agree to stop the revolt. But there was no way he was gonna do that...
A long time later, Danny and Tucker went to school. Everybody and everything was in their stations. Quickly, the two went to their stations.
Right on cue, Mr. Lancer walked by. He was heading towards a red 'X' that somebody had marked. When he stepped on it-
Things seemed to happen all at once. Wet sponges flew, ropes were pulled, and random stuff was thrown. When the cloud cleared, Lancer was furious. "WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?!" he screamed.
Danny and Tuck stepped forward. "We are."
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?"
"Oh, nuttin," Danny said. "Just that we're starting an OPEN REVOLT!"
Of course, Lancer knew all about the open revolts. He was furious! But not even the strongest teacher is powerful against the power of 488 freedom-hungry teens. Once they took down Lancer, they ran inside.
Just as the dynamic duo was going to bound inside, Paulina approached them. "I actually had fun with that!" she said. "Open Revolts are definitely on the popular list!"
"Trust me," Tucker said. "By Wednesday you'll be sick of it."
Paulina just winked and left. Instantly, Danny had a dreamy look on this face.
"We're going to have the best open revolt ever!"
In Danny's opinion, the rest of the day was amazing. It was like a cross between a giant frat party and the perfect school day: no classes, no homework, and (almost) everybody liked him, including Dash. Of course, the teachers tried to stop it at all costs- they even promised that those that did not participate wouldn't have to participate in end-of-year exams, and other things most kids would call 'dreams come true'. However, only five kids agreed. The others were having too much fun.
By the end to the day, the school was a mess- a cool mess. Danny had a lampshade on his head, Tucker had on lots of war paint, and both were pantless (Tuck's boxers had Cosmo on them). "That was the most fun day of my life!" Tuck said. "If only Sam-"
Suddenly, the two fell silent. Sam. Even after the visit, Sam was still an irritable wreck. But it seemed this- in the confusion about Sam and Melanie, and the thrill of the revolt, the two had forgotten a very important thing.
