Another day begins in peaceful Reno, Nevada and the first class of the day slowly sets everyone on the daily grind. Laurel and Laurie share their first class out in the portables together just as the dust settles from the sleepy night on the top of their desks.
Laurie: So…
Laurel: Yep…you wouldn't happen to have had a freaky dream involving me last night would you?
Laurie: Kinda…
Laurel grabs her pen and Laurie shows off her broach
Both: I got this thing and it does stuff!
Laurel: Well, I forgot how mine worked…
Teacher: slams a book down on the desk Shut up! Class is starting! the bell rings Now, today we will be learning about the quadratic formula. Pay attention!
Laurel: Man, I hate Mr. Kaiser.
Laurie: Yummy, Kaiser rolls…
Mr. Kaiser: Negative B, plus or minus the square root of negative B squared minus 4 times A,C, divided by two A.
Laurel: Watch this! she turns invisible and sneaks up to the front of the room. Carefully, taking a cotton swab from Mr. Kaiser's bag. She deftly puts the swab into Mr. Kaiser's shoe as the students watch Mr. Kaiser grinding his chalk on the board. Laurie summons a tiny flick of fire around the swab and it bursts into flames as Laurel slinks back to her desk
Mr. Kaiser: turns around as Laurel sits down and reappears Is there something burning? His shoe starts on fire and he jumps up with a loud cry ah cha! he runs around the room and out the door in flames as the bell signaling the end of class rings
Laurie: Another Tuesday…
Laurel: Yep
They gather up their books and leave
Meanwhile, Brock walks from his first class in the three hundreds hall, headed for another random class. During this time he passes through the tennis courts and out of no where pops a small demon with a bodaciously large wig.
Brock: Uh…
Wiggy Guy: I am the demon of toupees!
Brock: Demon of Toupees eh?
Wiggy Guy: Fear my 1774 powers!
Brock: Takes out his pen and instantly changes into his disguise. His arms become thick shiny swords; his whole body composed of a brilliant metal that shapes to it's masters infinite will.
Wiggy Guy: Woah!
Brock swings his long arm at the Demon who jumps backwards and grabs onto the fence sending three daggers in his wake. Brock makes his one arm into a shield to which the daggers pierce halfway, protruding the silver metal that so made up his skin. With a powerful leap he swings his sword at the fence. The hairy demon jumps out of the way as a hole is created in the fence, where the demon once stood. With another swift jump from there he slices the demon's hairstyle off it's head, taking the top of the tennis net with it and the vile demon explodes to nothingness, leaving Brock to change back to his normal form.
Brock: Looks around and dusts himself off and heads to his next class
Meanwhile Katie strolls along the hundreds hall with five minutes to spare before her next class while Ping resides in her backpack, watching the crowds of lazy, bored teenagers mill around. Behind him a pair of overly gothic, demonesque, and very hairy people follow them at a distance
Ping: Do you see those two Goths behind us? Katie turns her head to see the Goths speed up to catch up with her Loose them!
Katie: What?
Ping: Hurry! Run away from them! They're nothing but trouble. Katie runs through the hall dodging the students all around them
Katie: What are we running for! she slides under an opening locker
Ping: They're hair people! Eek!
Katie slips through a barely open locker door that nearly closes on Ping's head. With the hair people not far behind
Hair people: Hair! Hair! Give us your hair!
Katie: swings onto a branch and climbs up the tree away from the hair people who climb up after
Katie quickly ditches her backpack and changes into her disguise, far from the eyes of her prying schoolmates. She gracefully flips off the top branch, kicking both hair people off the tree on her way to the ground. The hair people launched to either side of the stylish heroine, quickly hop back on their feet and pursue Katie arms up and mouths drooling purely hypnotized by something about her.
Hair people: calling in forlorn tortured voices Hair! Hair!
Katie: You want my hair? She dangles it in front of them and they claw at the air and dive trying to grab hold of it. She leads them around the courtyard and drives them straight into a wall, their heads conking together in a loud hollow thud, the hair people falling over at this. "Such simpletons," she remarks picking them up with her powers and flinging them high into the air towards the clouds where they would likely fall to a splattering death. At that point the bell rings for class "Eek, I'm late!"
Katie hops into the tree, changes out of her disguise, grabs her backpack and runs to her next class of the day. There Mr. Kaiser waits for her as she trips into the room.
Mr. Kaiser: Well, look who decided to show up.
Katie: big kawaii eyes Sorry Mr. Kaiser!
Mr. Kaiser: Bops Katie's head with a ruler Sit down!
After classes the lunch bell rang, and the small group of heroes gathered in Mr. McMurry's biology lair.
Katie: Good we're all here; I think something very strange is goi-
Laurie: Wait, where's Vinnie?
Brock: Wasn't he here this morning?
A scream is heard the hall
Girl: Oh mah gawd! There's a duck in the drinking fountain!
Vinnie: Hey, quit lookin' you!
Girl: Somebody get animal control!
Vinnie: Relax! I don't bite, hard…
A loud smack is heard followed by a brief moment of silence, as if the victim of the smack was flying like a baseball before a thunk is heard followed by a little yellow duck skidding to a halt in view of the door. He gets up and dusts himself off and walks in with a greeting quack. The rest of the group sits for a moment in silence then continues normally.
Brock: Something seriously screwed up is going on.
Katie: I got attacked on my way to third period!
Ping hops out of Katie's backpack
Ping: Hair people, a dastardly part of The Silence!
Laurie: Oh, hey! It's that cat from that creepy dream I had, Ping!
TJ pops up behind Laurel, causing her to fall off her chair in surprise
TJ: Ping! Isn't that a drug! Ping growls
Laurel: Where the heck did you come from?
TJ: I appear in random places for no reason! He laughs I say random things and sometimes people give me money to make me go away! Isn't that cool! Laurel shoves him out of the room
Mr. McMurry: walks out of his office and looks around Why are there animals in my room? Vinnie slips him a box of candy I didn't see anything. He walks back into his office
Laurie: Anyways, what are hair people?
Ping: Hair people are evil demons that wear large wigs and prey on people's hair.
Brock: That sounds about right.
Ping: If I am not mistaken, they should be looking for your group right now!
All the windows lining the room break and hairy ninjas pop into the room followed by one big hairball that walks up to the group. Oddly enough, Ping is missing from the area shortly after they pop in. Vinnie also seem to have disappeared as well when the hairballs approach the group.
Hairball: So, this is the little super group? Well, we shall soon see how you fare when you have to go… Dramatic chord Hairless! He takes out a shaver and the ninjas restrain those in the group with special power sapping crystals
Katie: You won't get away with this!
Laurel: Why do you want us anyway? We just live peacefully!
Hairball: BECAUSE you are the guardians of earth! The earth guardians must be destroyed so we hair people can take it over!
Brock: Why can't you take over some useful planet? Why does it always have to be earth?
Hairball: Because the princess is here on earth! Without her we cannot-
An arrow files toward the hairball piercing him, much like a toothpick going through a potato. Vinnie pulls another arrow out of thin air from the corner of the room and strings it back on his bow striking a ninja away from Laurel. Acting on this opportunity, Laurel goes invisible and quickly topples her captors with a few swift kicks to the groin. She then frees Brock who turns to his metal form and slashes up a ninja bout to cut the throat of Katie. The evil hairball rises, long bloodied claws fully extended, ready to pounce on one of the heroes. Then, Katie quickly throws a ninja who is holding Laurie out of an open window and Vinnie flies an arrow at the head of her other captor. Laurie raises her hands and the hairball bursts into bright orange flames.
Hairball: AH CHA! runs away followed by his other torn followers This ain't over!
Vinnie: Yay! We won! Quack!
Mr. McMurry: What happened to my room!
Ping: Time to go Katie! hops in her backpack and Katie runs off
Katie: See you tomorrow guys!
Brock: Turns back to his normal form and looks around I think I hear Stalin calling; I better go take care of that! He runs off
Laurel: Turns invisible and sneaks off
Laurie: Later! follows the others out the door
Mr. McMurry: Ahems at Vinnie
TJ: Well Vinnie, everyone else is gone and we're screwed.
Vinnie: Yep, yep!
TJ: Maybe we should have left too?
Vinnie: Maybe…but that would be the smart thing to do!
TJ: Yes, we're so stupid!
Vinnie: And it's so cool!
TJ: I know! We rock!
Vinnie: Ba-damn we're cool! Ba-damn!
TJ: We're to cool for school!
Vinnie: Shows off his somewhat less that impressive duck muscles We are big annoying men!
Mr. McMurry: Just go! Throws them out
TJ: As always, stupidity is the smartest thing to do!
Vinnie: Quack! See ya later! flies off
