Disclaimer: Yeah I don't own Perfect Dark, any characters in Perfect Dark. I do my own characters except for the ones which are obvious rip offs of other characters, although I did make them up, they are obviously not originally mine.
Joanna gave a deep sigh as she ate breakfast.
"What's up Jo?" Her sister Velvet asked
"Oh just school starting again, its annoying" Joanna said
"Yeah, it sucks a bit, but at least we get to see how the others are doing" Velvet replied
"I bet Jonathan is even more annoying this year" Joanna grumbled "Oh are you brother and sister, you sure look like it" Joanna put on a voice as many people had questioned Jo about if she had any relation to Jonathan.
"Don't worry about them or him" Velvet said but Joanna continued ignoring her
"Then it's, 'are you sure you aren't related'. Honestly the next time Jonathan annoys me he'll get a swift kick from yours truly" Joanna said
"Well keep that thought to yourself and imagine you are kicking him but don't actually do it. Jonathan's a nice guy sometimes; he just gets kicks out of annoying you. You are a bit of a show off at times" Velvet said, but she said the wrong thing.
"ME! A show off! Jonathan a nice guy, what's in this orange juice?" Joanna shouted
Velvet sighed knowing Joanna was in one of her moods which meant she was a ripe target for Jonathan. Soon it was time for them to wait for the bus. Already waiting was Sean, Velvet met him a few days back, he was from Australia and his parents moved over about 2 months ago. The bus pulled up just as they were chatting.
"Hey Sean, this is my sister Joanna" Velvet said
"Hi Joanna" Sean said politely
"Hi' Joanna replied shortly as she got on the bus still in a huff
"Don't mind her, she's in a mood" Velvet said as she got on the bus
"I heard that! AND I'm NOT in a MOOD" Joanna shouted back
"Joanna, you are fortunate we are the first stop, if Jonathan was on the bus he'd be able to annoy you to death" Velvet said
"Okay, breathe Jo, breathe" Joanna said to herself as the 3 took their seats and the bus started.
"So Sean, what's it like in Australia?" Velvet asked making conversation
"Nice, although I like it here too. What's it like at school" Sean asked
"Velvet how do you know him?" Joanna asked
"I met him a few days back, maybe you didn't notice but I introduced you just now" Velvet said
"Oh just things are on my mind. Sorry if I was rude to you before" Joanna said recovering from her mood.
"It's alright. I'm Sean Lomberson, as your sister told you, I'm from Australia and I moved about 2 months ago. Not sure why Mum just said we had to" Sean said
"I'm Joanna Dark, everybody calls me Jo though" Joanna replied
The bus stopped yet again and Cassandra was waiting with Terrence
"That's the school bitch" Velvet whispered in Sean's ear
"That's not a nice thing to say" Sean whispered back
"Once you meet her you see if you can find a better word for it" Velvet replied
Cassandra walked up to Sean.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Cassandra said in a very demanding voice
"Errr… I'm Sean… I'm new here" Sean replied
"Leave him alone Cass" Joanna said
"New huh? You'll like it here" Cassandra said with a big evil smile
"Yes you will, we'll make sure of that" Terrence cracked his knuckles
Sean didn't reply as the two sat at the back of the bus…
"Okay school bitch and school bastard seems fair" Sean said quietly to Velvet and Joanna
"Ha, didn't think of that one. Terrence is like Cassandra's lackey anything she wants he will do it" Joanna said laughing a little.
"Yes whatever you do, don't tick either of them off if you want to be in one piece by the end of the day" Velvet added
"Sounds like good advice" Sean replied
The bus stopped again and Jonathan, Foster and Trent got on.
"What's your obsession with red, it's really bad…" Jonathan said looking at Trent's red jumper, red hat, red pants and red and black sneakers. Sean looked at his own clothes, he had a red T-shirt and a red and white jacket with black pants with black sneakers, he knew that after looking at Trent he wouldn't get picked on for that reason at least.
"Leave me alone Jonathan… I'll tell" Trent replied
"Whatever, that joke is getting old anyway. Hi girls" Jonathan turned to Joanna and Velvet
"Hey Jon, how'd your holidays go" Velvet asked
"Great! Who's this guy?" Jonathan asked
"I'm Sean, yeah I'm new" Sean said not knowing Jonathan too well.
"Hi, I'm Jonathan, don't be put off by my show on Trent, he was ticking Foster off by putting ice down his back and then started flicking his ear" Jonathan said
"Oh yes, you are such a hero" Joanna said sarcastically
"Don't get me started or I'll start spreading the rumour that we are related" Jonathan threatened
"That was you!" Joanna started to steam
"No… geez take it easy, it was as annoying for me as it was for you so there" Jonathan replied
"Why would anybody think you two were related?" Sean asked
"We share the same last name… Vel and I are sisters, but I am in no way related to him" Joanna said
"How long you been here?" Jonathan asked
"2 months, moved from Australia" Sean explained yet again
"Ah. That's cool. You'll get on great with the people here, but watch for Cassandra, Trent and Terrence. They are really nasty when they get together" Jonathan said
"Yes Velvet's given me that advice. I've already seen two of them together" Sean said
"Yup they are pretty nasty" Jonathan said. They could talk a little louder as the bus was filling with chatter.
The bus stopped once more. Daniel and Natasha got on they sat down and started talking.
"Hello everyone" Daniel sat in front of Velvet and Joanna
"Hi guys" Natasha said sitting next to Daniel
"How are you going Daniel" Foster asked
"Very well thanks. Did you watch Goldeneye last night? It's fairly old now but I still like it" Daniel said
"Yeah I did! I like the game too, I love going around with an RCP-90 and blasting everybody to death" Foster said
"Lovely image there Foster" Natasha replied
"You play the game too, so you know what I am on about" Foster replied
"Yeah but I still think Perfect Light is better" Natasha said
"It is no doubt good. The weapons are great" Foster said
"I can't help but think there is slight similarity between Jacqueline Light and Joanna" Jonathan said
"I could say the same about Jack Light and you as well Jonathan" Joanna said
"Let's get one thing straight are Jack and Jackie brother and sister?" Velvet asked
"According to Common, there was a part in the game where they were going to be brother and sister but it was removed" Daniel said putting on his know it all voice.
"Who cares, what I love doing is holding the door with Jackie's body and firing bullets and throwing knives, outside the firing range at the people outside. Especially that Boster, he just annoys me" Foster said
The bus stopped once more for Bob and Grimshaw.
"Greetings everybody" Bob said
"Hello Bob" mostly everybody replied as Bob took a seat behind Joanna and Velvet and sat down.
"Anyway Perfect Light is really good. Although Limsore is a real nerd, he just gets on my nerves" Jonathan said
"How good are you at Perfect Light?" Sean asked
"Well, we play it at least once a week together" Jonathan said
"I play as well. I'm not bad I think" Sean said
"That's what all of us say. Except for Joanna, she thinks she's so perfect" Jonathan replied
"Hey, just because I kicked your butt and bragged about doesn't mean I think I'm perfect" Joanna said
"Yeah only because you used Levis with a Jackie head. That's cheap Jo, before I beat you always, and you've only beaten me once so don't brag" Jonathan replied
"Fine, but just because I like Astec/Human appearance doesn't make me cheap" Joanna replied
"It's annoying how you can't play as a Credar, even in counter co op mode" Velvet said
"Yeah you just have to play as damned Mr. Scarlet" Natasha said
"I think Credar looks really weird in human form. Really bright red hair like that freaks me out" Bob shuddered slightly
"Yeah the only thing that stops Trent choosing Mr. Scarlet in the combat simulator is the fact that there is Kent Weston who seems to love red even more than Trent does if that's humanly possible" Jonathan said
The bus stopped and the kids got out. They headed to where the rest of the class was grouped. A woman with long light brown hair stood at the front she was the principal.
"Welcome to another year of fun learning" The principal said
The students groaned
"Yes, we love it as much as you do. No kidding, but let's make this less painless for both of us shall we?" The principal said
"I could bore you with stuff like telling you to throw trash in the bin, or telling the littlies where everything is but I can save that for their teachers. Or I could further tell you that there is a gaming competition on, but you don't want to hear about that" The principal said. Any student who was daydreaming instantly snapped out of it.
"Oh so you do want to listen? Alright, now this may only appeal to some of you but there are three competitions this year. The Pokemon competition, the Mario kart: Double Dash competition and another competition that will be voted on later." The Principal said and murmurs filled the crowd.
"Anyway I'll leave it to the teachers to tell you about that who are waiting for you" The Principal said
"That however doesn't give you any excuse not to work hard. Anyway, I want to go eat breakfast since I'm starving so go bother your teachers" The principal said and she got a small laugh from the crowd before they headed off into their rooms.
"Wow, those sound great" Daniel said
"Of course they do since you know you'll win" Jonathan said
"Only the pokemon one, I got no hope at Double Dash" Daniel replied
"Don't count your chickens before they are hatched Danny" Natasha walked past
"Don't call me that Natty" Daniel replied but she had walked near the door but she suddenly stopped.
Daniel bumped into Natasha, causing Jonathan to bump into Daniel causing Sean to bump into Jonathan causing Velvet to bump into Sean and so on.
"What's the hold up" Foster shouted
"No idea" Grimshaw replied
"Got ya wallet" Terrance said and then raised it above his head
"Give it back!" Grimshaw jumped and tried to get it from Terrance but he was too tall
"Wanna beg for it" Terrance laughed as did Cassandra and Trent
"Terrence, give it back" Jonathan turned around and faced Terrence
"Make me!" Terrence replied as the entire class seemed to gather in a circle around the door with Grimshaw still jumping trying to get his wallet back.
"What is the problem" A new voice came it sounded computerized as a small laptop like object floated in between the crowd. It had eyes in place of the screen.
"What the hell are you" Terrence said
"I am your teacher, Mr. Caroll, or Dr. Caroll, whichever you prefer" Dr. Caroll told him
"Okay. Dan, Nat own up… which one of you created this great joke" Terrence said dropping Grimshaw's wallet and he caught it and disappeared into the crowd.
"I happen to be no joke; I am your teacher get inside now!" Dr. Caroll said in a demanding voice
"Okay, since you won't own up both of you are going to get it" Terrence said walking past Dr. Caroll and headed to Natasha and Daniel.
"Fine, I hate to have to use this on the first day but…" Dr. Caroll said before suddenly a lightning charge came from his eyes and zapped Terrence in the back giving him a shock.
"AHHH!" Terrence shouted jumping in surprise
"Do you want me to get the principal" Dr. Caroll asked
"Fine, let's make this even more funny" Terrance said
Dr. Caroll left.
"Excellent now that he is gone, I can beat the crap out of you two" Terrance said and took a swing at Daniel but Jonathan blocked his fist.
"Back off, if you read the notice we got 3 weeks ago you idiot you would have seen that our teacher is indeed that machine" Jonathan said
"Since when do you back the nerds up Dark?" Terrance asked
"Since you started making an arse out of yourself Terrence" Jonathan replied
Terrance took a swing at Jonathan who blocked the impact, but Joanna and Velvet got in between both of them.
"Guys stop it, Jonathan is right. Here is the notice, now let's leave it at that" Velvet handed Terrence the note Jonathan referred to. Terrance read it.
"What's the matter Dalkrad, can't read?" Jonathan taunted
"Of course I can read you idiot, but you guys have this planned out well, you somehow remove our actual teacher, somehow get some machine that Natasha or Daniel created to step in and somehow use the schools official notice to tell us about him. Very well done" Terrence said
"Right, that's enough; you've made enough of a fool of yourself. This is only a trial, you'll find that Dr. Caroll is highly intelligent and we should have no problems. Any more out of you Terrence and I'll have you on detention" The Principal arrived with Dr. Caroll "Now inside all of you" The principal said as the students walked inside and sat down at their desks.
Dr. Caroll floated behind the desk.
"Right now after that eventful incident I think we can finally get started" Dr. Caroll said "Now let's do a roll call"
"Carrington, Daniel" Dr. Caroll said
"Present" Daniel replied
"Dalkrad, Terrence" Dr. Caroll said
"Yeah…" Terrence grumbled, but Dr. Caroll ignored it
"De Vries, Cassandra" Dr. Caroll called out
"Here" Cassandra replied
"My goodness, 3 darks are you all related?" Dr. Caroll asked, Joanna and Jonathan put their heads down but Velvet answered for them
"No, Dr. Caroll, Joanna is my sister, but I have no relation with Jonathan" Velvet answered
"Thank you, so Dark, Joanna?" Dr. Caroll called out
"Here…" Joanna moaned
"Dark, Jonathan" Dr. Caroll called out
"Here" Jonathan replied
"You must be Velvet then" Dr. Caroll said some how getting a hand in place of one of his wings and marking a piece of paper.
"Yes, Dr. Caroll" Velvet replied
"Very good, Easton, Trent" Dr. Caroll called out
"Here" Trent replied removing his red cap.
"Natasha, Filnaro" Dr. Caroll called out
"Here" Natasha responded
"Foster, Richard (he needed a first name, like Grimshaw)" Dr. Caroll called out
"Present, but everybody calls me Foster" Foster said
"Okay thanks, Grimshaw, Martin" Dr. Caroll called out
"Here, like Foster most people call me Grimshaw" Grimshaw said
"Alright, Ill try to remember that" Dr. Caroll said marking something over Foster's and Grimshaw's names.
"Ahh our new student. Lomberson, Sean" Dr. Caroll called out
"Present" Sean replied
"Lastly, Tendisper, Bob" Dr. Caroll said
"I'm here" Bob called out
"Excellent. Now let's begin" Dr. Caroll said
