Sidekick:

The Loudmouth's tale

Life sucked for Derek Boomer. Not only was he everyone's most hated teacher (or maybe some hated Medulla more. Hmmm….), he had to place all those irritating, snot-nosed kids. Sidekick! Ha, he'll show them. Buggers.

He had always thought that he was a ladies' man, but how the heck had Medulla stolen not one, but two women from him! Bloody citrus-head. He should stick to teaching Physics and Chemistry. Let Mr. Boomer, Casanova extraordinaire, teach women Biology….

As he sat there, staring balefully at Medulla (dumb ET) enjoying himself with two women, he sighed. How had this happened?

Flashback

"Derek!" A young Boomer turned to see his date for the Homecoming running towards him, "Hey, Lucy!"

She approached him, saying, "Sorry."

"For what?" he had asked.

"I'm…… pregnant," she replied, shocking him worse then her electrical powers could.

"Wha… what! Who!" he shouted, breaking all the hall windows.

"Fe… Felix…," she replied, turning tail and fleeing.

Boomer stood there, fuming. Felix. He'd get back at the stretchy bastard. But first, to find a date.

Who should he ask? All the girls had been taken….

Shit.

Only Sue Tenny was available.

At the Homecoming, he'd worn a paper bag with eyeholes, much to the Techno-something's great irritance. She had bugged him till he managed spot Felix. the only event he took pleasure in for that homecoming was tying an unconcious Felix around the Sky High crest, above the school's entrance. Felix had been bruised and sore for weeks afterwards. But that didn'tchange anything. Word had spread; Derek Boomer dated Sidekicks!

He hadn't been able to ditch the shame for years.

Gulping down his tea, he sulked. Swirling the dregs in the cup, he thought ,"Love's a bitch."

At least he'd enjoy tomorrow's Save The Citizen matches.
