---------------------And hootenanny, well, it's chalk full of hoot and just a bit of nany-------------------------
Today was the day of Bayville High's annual 'BHS Pride' assembly. Which is just a nice way of saying 'It's Jock Day' and we are forcing each and every one of you unwilling students to sit through forty-five minutes of jocks ramble on about things that no one give a crap about! Sorry about that.
The event is a tribute to the winter sports that were coming to an end and the spring sports that were beginning. Nobody like to go to these things especially the mutants, well it is a perfect opportunity to be discriminated against them with innuendo.
They have already had to sit through all the other assemblies this year, but this time Jubilee had a plan to escape the legal form of torture that was an assembly. All she needed was a team.
Bobby was sitting at his desk taking notes when he saw Jubes outside the door signaling for him to come out there.
He raised his hand. "Mr. Rankin, can I use the bathroom?"
"I don't know, can you?"
Bobby groaned. "Okay may I use the bathroom?"
"No you just went five minutes ago."
"Okay then…can I go to the nurse?"
"Sure."
Bobby walked out of the room, met her, and making sure no one saw them, they dashed away.
Amara and Marc had Biology and they were dissecting frogs today. Amara started to feel sick, but this project was worth a lot of the final grade, so fighting back her gag reflex she slit the dead amphibian open. Poor Kermit.
Marc, however, could not seemed to hold on to his slippery froggy and it was flying everywhere.
"Darn!" Marc grumbled to himself as the frog slipped out of his grasps and slid to the door, "Stupid dead frog…you think you're so smart."
He went to pick it up, and noticed Bobby outside the door's window.
"Mr. Zoeller me and Amara have to go to…help set up the assembly." he improvised, and the two were free.
After rounding up Sam, Ray, and Tabitha, they had a meeting in the janitor's closet. Marc and Amara were making sure to stay decently far away from each other and Tabby and Ray were sticking close together.
"Are we going to get in trouble for this?" Amara asked, sheepishly.
Sam shook his head. "Naw, Jubes said we..."
"Jubilee says a lot of things…" commented Marc.
"Okay here's the plan…" Jubes cupped her hand to Bobby's ear.
Bobby giggled deviously.
Jubes rolled her eyes. "Yeah, okay, now shut up so I can tell you the plan."
"Hey, we can't hear." Ray complained.
"Fine!" she snapped, "What we're going to do is…"
Kelly was standing at the podium with several plaques on a wooden table. He was sharply dressed in this year's top principal fashion, with his tan-ish business suit and blue tie.
In the bleachers sat, Jubes and the others. They each knew their jobs and they carried through with them already. Jubes made the plans so that no one would get hurt...hopefully.
Marc and Sam were responsible for taking care of Principal Kelly's note cards. They both were waiting for him to start to see if he would fall for it.
Kelly smiled and waved to the students. "Hello and good afternoon, BHS Eagles." he said and Marc and Sam smirked. "It's a fine day for a hootenanny? I don't remember it saying that but, oh well." he said, quietly.
"Well, I think you all know why we're here. We are all here to commemorate the fine athletics teams of this year so far, they had no special advantages over anyone else save for their strive." he said and moved away from the podium. "We all no that Bayville football this year was a horrendous and humiliating attempt at a classic game." he said.
Everyone was just looking at each other in confusion and suddenly started booing. Kelly, shocked, looked at his cards quickly and realized what he was saying.
He held his hand up in the air to get their attention. "Sorry students, it appears I have the same speech writers as the President." he said, drawing laughs from the students.
"Drat." Marc snapped his fingers. "Damn snappy comebacks."
"It's okay, that was just the first try…don't worry." told Jubes, resting her head on her fist.
Bobby and Jubes' plan was ready next…
Kelly smiled and held his hand out to the side. "Well here is your, Bayville High State runners-up!" he cheered. And the football team came jogging out in their uniforms.
None of them was aware that they were heading straight for where Bobby had frozen a spot on the floor. The team ran right over is, creating splashes. It seems that Iceman forgot to take in to account that the lights would melt the ice. He received a good smack for that. "Nice going, Popsicle…"
"Sorry…"
"We still have one more try at this…and I took care of the whole thing with Amara." Tabby said and snuck off.
"Let's hope so."
A few minutes later the mascot of the school charismatically wheeled out a cart with the football trophies on it. The mascot looked up at Jubes, gave her a thumb up, and 'accidentally' ran into Duncan while going to the changing room.
Out of breath, the eagle took off its head and revealed a mischievous blonde mutant underneath. "This is really uncomfortable…" Tabitha whined, taking off the suit quickly and heading back up to the others.
"Now for this year's QB of the Year Award recipient Duncan Mathews!" Kelly announced. "A round of applause for Mr. Mathews, everyone." he said and the majority started clapping.
Coach Bailey handed him the shiny trophy and Duncan held it up over his head. Suddenly, little flash explosions were set off in all the trophies, including the one in Dunc's hands.
Duncan's eyes widened as did everyone's when the ground under the auditorium rose up a little. Everyone gasped, the football teamed jumped as the trophies and plaques were falling off the base. Kelly stumbled a little and as suddenly as it started the event was over.
Duncan, who fell during this, was freaked out to the extreme.
Kelly, professionally, regained his composer and picked up the mic. "Well, I didn't know Bayville had its own fault line…" he said with a slight chuckle.
"You already used that one!" a student up in the top commented.
"Yeah well…assembly dismissed. It will be made up tomorrow at the same time." he said and the students began leaving. "Good day."
Jubes, Tabitha, Bobby, Amara, Sam, and Marc were pretty confused now.
"Was that Lance?" Amara asked.
"No, he didn't come to school."
"Maybe Bayville does have a fault line."
They shrugged, mainly just hoping that Scott, or anybody else for that matter, would figure out about the exploding trophy incident.
Please review.
