Tales of Demiyah Oliver Movie: First Day of Toon School
Chapter 2: Toon School Part 1, A New Friend:
Demiyah woke up at her usual time on Monday and went through her routine. She ate breakfast and made sure that the money she had for Acme Acres was the same as home. Which she had to call Bugs to ask Which he confirmed. Demiyah took her lunch which was more than she would normally eat and she made sure to pack extra snacks. She went through the portal to the Toon World. Demiyah walked to the bus stop and saw several famous Toons. Max Goof and PJ Pete from Goof Troop. Buster and Babs Bunny (no relation) from Tiny Toon Adventures. Doug Funny from Doug. Otto and Reggie Rocket from Rocket Power. Peanut, Butter, and Jelly Otter from PB&J Otter. Jude from Sixteen. Gwen from Total Drama Island. Franklin from Franklin. Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Warner from Animaniacs. Dexter Douglas from Freakazoid. Juniper Lee from The Life and Times of Juniper Lee. Jake Long from American Dragon Jake Long. As well as so many others! She really was overwhelmed. Everyone was staring at her whispering. "Look it's really her." "That's the hybrid Bugs made an announcement was starting school here." She approached someone and asked, "Um could you point me to the Principal's office please? I don't know where it is and I need to get my class schedule and locker assignment." Who she asked was a grey coyote wearing only pink sneakers. He held up a sign and said, "I'll show you were to go." Demiyah said, "Thank you."
The two walked to the Principal's office and the coyote waited for her to exit. Surprisingly Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was the Principal. Oswald said, "It happened last year. Turned out the former Principal was in cahoots with people who wanted to capture us Toons. He was arrested and locked up. So here's your schedule and locker assignment along with a student handbook and a map of the school. May I say welcome to the Toon Prepatory Academy." Demiyah said, "Thank you Oswald. Coming from you, it means a lot." Oswald chuckled, "Demiyah, I owe you after everything you did for me. You gave me my Heart and Freedom back after what Xehanort did." Demiyah smiled sadly. Still thinking about Aqua who was still under Xehanort's control as the Yellow Mutant Ranger. She had gotten really lucky to find the weak point of the Black Mutant Morpher and destroy it. It's remains were in her a safe in Elysian within her Place of Power. It would stay there until all five Mutant Ranger morphers were destroyed and she could reverse engineer them. If Oswald could use a morpher it brought up a serious question. Could Toons become Power Rangers with actual morphers that connected to the Grid? She shook her head free of those thoughts for the time being.
Demiyah asked the coyote if he could help her find her locker and first class which was Health and Biology. Something Demiyah was very greatful for. Knowing Toon Biology would help her big time. Demiyah asked, "If you don't mind me asking, why do you use signs to communicate? Are you shy?" The coyote said, "Yeah. I've had others tease me about my voice when I was younger. So I went nonverbal for years. Using signs to communicate. Occasionally only talking to myself when at home so I wouldn't be out of practice. Hope you don't mind I ask a question of my own. What's your name? I'm Calamity Coyote." Demiyah said, "I'm Demiyah Oliver. It's nice to meet you."
Calamity and Demiyah were thrilled to see they had all of the same classes so they could walk to class together. Even knowing her abilities as a Toon were created by Toons seen by Disney Studios. Calamity was one of the few who did try to make friends with kids in the different studio cliques. But no one except maybe PJ wanted to talk to them. Even then he would only ask abous school stuff. Calamity and Demiyah sat next to each other as Daffy Duck started talking about Toon Biology and how it differed from Human Biology. Demiyah taking detailed notes the entire lecture. Even copying the diagrams that were drawn on the board. Buster was stunned that the new student was just as studious as Calamity. She was technically a Disney Studio Toon. Even if she wasn't fully Toon. Next class was Home Ec. Three Disney Studio Toons were trying to get Demiyah to pair with them when the teacher Clarabelle Cow said, "I thought I said three to a group. Demiyah you'll be paired with Yakko and Calamity for class so please sit at their table. We are going to be making cookies today along with macarons. So everyone grab an apron and follow me." Demiyah found a pink apron with crescent moons on it. She put it on and followed Calamity and Yakko to their station. Each station already had the ingredients in them ready to mix up cookies and macarons. The students got their recipe books from the stations and started working. Demiyah found what looked like a strainer. Yakko asked, "What are you going to do with that thing?" Demiyah put the strainer like thing in a bowl and dumped the flour into it. She tapped the strainer and to the shock of her groupmates and the rest of her classmates she sifted the flour. Demiyah said, "Mom taught me this trick to get excess air out of the flour and makes it easier to work with." Once the dough for the peanut butter cookies was made and in the oven the trio was working on the chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies. Yakko was struggling with the sugar cookie dough. "This is way too hard to mix." Demiyah said, "You put the sugar in too fast. You have to do it gradually then it won't be too hard." Yakko said, "Something your mom taught you?" Demiyah chuckled, "A friend who loves to cook and bake. She taught me most of what I know about cooking and baking." Demiyah helped Yakko mix the dough properly. Calamity was cofused with the decorative glass being out. So was most of the class. When the divvied up the dough Calamity and Yakko were amazed at what Demiyah was doing coating the bottom of the glass with flour and pressing it onto the dough. Calamity to the shock of Buster, Hampton, and Plucky said, "What a neat idea! Looks great Demiyah." Yakko piped up, "Where'd you learn to do this? It's really way cool!" Demiyah's eyes softened as she smiled, "I learned it from my dad when I was little." Calamity asked, "Really, your dad?" Demiyah said, "Yes. My parents are very busy with their careers to stay home full time. But they do their best be there for me. Especially when I really them the most like after school and when extracurriculars are over. Boy they have to be busy. But I can say dad's cookies are some of the best and mom's meals always seem to cheer me up. No matter what happened before."
When all the cookies and even the Macarons were made the groups divided them among themselves. Demiyah walking with Calamity to Math. Demiyah found her classes were a lot easier than she expected. Maybe because her Toon powers were a bigger part of her? She didn't know.
Through her classes she was the talk of the school. She associated with students from the different studio cliques and thought nothing of it! She talked with Calamity Coyote and he openly talked back without the signs he usually did! The fact she got him to talk was big. Calamity wasn't used to the attention he was getting.
During luch Yakko ate with his siblings but Calamity sat next to her at lunch. She offered him something from her lunch. Calamity never had someone to share food with. He avoided fish like the plague after a bad case of food poisioning from undercooked salmon when he went to a seafood resturant with his parents two years ago. He was surprised to find that Demiyah didn't eat seafood either. She didn't give a reason, but openly stated she had one. They did enjoy some onigiri with chicken and teriyaki filling. Demiyah said, "My mom took my japanese heritage in stride when she and dad adopted me. They didn't find out some demeted people captured my birth mother or that my birth father because of his magic was trapped in a coma inside of a volcano until I was older. I'm still getting to my birth father. My birth mother I've gotten to know really well since we reconnected when I was six. It wasn't exactly a fairytale reunion. Psychotic scientists, evil ex-military generals, and dinosaur themed costumed heroes." Calamity commented, "Sounds more like a plot from a comic book." Demiyah said with some humor, "Seems like my life since I turned five became some crazy comic book or magical girl cartoon."
Buster looked at the pair eating and talking together. Then he told Babs and the others, "Something is off about that girl. We've been trying for four years at least to get Calamity to talk but he only ever used signs to talk to us. Then she show up and he starts talking like normal and just seemed to click with Demiyah. What's her deal?" Hamton said, "Maybe she just heard his side to why he used signs. He seemed really shy to me." Babs said, "He could have been emulating his mentor Wile Coyote." Plucky said, "Who knows? I do know there's something funny about her. And not in the good way." Shirley said, "Her aura is very strange. Powerful and far older than she actually is. There's an undercurrent of light in it. But something primal is there too. I don't know why." Fifi said, "Are you sure Shirley? Something primal and powerful too?" Shirley nodded. Montana Max strutted over and began flirting badly. Demiyah said in a flat tone, "One your not my type. Two your girlfriend is getting jealous. Third I'm already in a relationship. So end of story. Not interested." Elmyra thwacked Montana Max with a book and dragged him off.
Toward the end of the day it was Free Period where students could read, run around the yard of the school, do whatever. Calamity was sitting under a tree with Demiyah talking with her and getting to know her better. He was amazed at how many adventures she had before coming to school here. Magical swords, other worlds, gems with untold powers, reincarnated princesses, comic book characters coming to life, supernatural artifacts warping entire worlds until they were found and removed or protected, costumed heroes piloting giant robots, aliens, ancient wizards, and so many others! Demiyah chuckled, "It's not as glamorous as it sounds Cal." Calamity asked, "Cal?" Demiyah said, "Yeah. Friends usually call each other nicknames. Despite not knowing you for very long, I'd like to think we're friends." Calamity said, "I don't mind if you call me Cal. I'm glad we're friends Miya." Demiyah smiled and hugged her friend, "I am too Cal. I am too." Wile Coyote and Roadrunner whom he called Roadie were watching the pair as Little Beeper played with Furball not too far from them. Wile said, "I'm glad Calamity found a friend in the new student. While she has her quirks, she's a genuinely good person. Both Oswald and Bugs are vouching for her. So I think it's a good thing." Roadie replied, "Who knows, maybe Demiyah will be the one to shut down this awful studio clique thing that's plagued the school for the last two years. I don't even know how it started." Wile sighed, "Neither do I Roadie. None of the staff know." Roadie replied, "It started when that Kiki girl transfered from Perfecto Prep. You think she might have something to do with it?" Wile shrugged and said, "Maybe she does and maybe she doesn't. We won't know unless we investigate."
With her own clique made of 'lesser' known Warner Brother's studios characters Kiki was furious. How dare that upstart Human ruin her hard work! She would make her pay.
