Chapter 9: Detention

Sora and Riku made it through their next three class periods uneventfully. Then, it was time for lunch. Sora and Riku filed silently through the crowded hallways and into the long lunch line. The frowning lunch ladies plopped lumps of some sort of mystery candy onto student's plates. Their frowns were so dismal; Ronald McDonald would probably have a heart attack due to the intense lack of smiles.

"Eww… what is this stuff?" asked Riku.

"Food," answered one of the Lunch Ladies dully.

"This reminds me of a song…" said Sora.

"Don't even think of singing!" exclaimed Riku.

"Sorry…"

Both of the heroes took a seat at one of the many overflowing cafeteria tables, and happened to find themselves seated across from Ashley, the Hershey's. She almost appeared horrified to see them again, like she'd hoped that this morning would be the end of their short relationship…but you never can tell with candy.

"Hey guys…" she said through a gritted smile.

"Hey!" said Riku and Sora.

Riku poked at the lump of "food" that had been bestowed upon them, while Sora hungrily dug his plastic spoon in and shoveled it into his gaping mouth. This caused Riku to stare at him in abject horror.

"So, Ashley…" started Sora between bites. "Since you guys are candy, why do you eat candy?"

"Well…there's two different kinds of candy. Those like us that are born and are living and then there's the candy that grows on trees or is produced in factories that is not living. I really don't know the mechanics of things but-."

"For a little bit I thought you guys were cannonballs," stated Sora.

"Uh…Sora, I think the word you're looking for is cannibals." Before anyone could respond, Sora accidentally flicked a glob of mush onto a nearby Lolly while trying to shake it off of his spoon. Pandemonium ensued. Lolly turned around slowly and glared at him, with a guttural snarl ripping from her lips.

"Oops…" muttered Sora. Without Sora and Riku noticing, the nearby candy had scattered and a circle of students formed around them and a small group of Airheads.

"Uh…sorry, Lolly."

The various teenage candies surrounding the group began chanting, "Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight…"

"Don't you remember how Sora kicked your butt in history this morning? Or is your memory that short?" asked Riku.

"We've discovered his weakness…" Lolly's boyfriend pulled a glow stick from behind his back, and snapped it in front of Sora whose legs instantly turned to jelly.

"Sora, it's just a glow stick. There is no Kryptonite in that thing."

"B-b-but…"

"No buts; just kick his."

"I was going to say there's no fighting music."

Riku rolled his eyes, "Let me guess, you want me to sing to make up for it…" Sora grinned innocently at him. "Well, the answer is no. What do I look like? A contestant on Candy Land Idol?"

"Speaking of Candy Land Idol," stated Lolly, "I'm trying out for that tonight…so is over half of the high school but I'm confident that I'll be the winner… Well, I guess we can kill you later. I need to work on my tryout song." She happily walked off with her boyfriend and some other Airheads while humming the tune of the "Lollipop Song."

"That was…unexpected," stated Riku.

Lunch finally ended, and by the time last hour rolled around Sora's eyelids were drooping. He was enrolled in a chemistry class and while the teacher gave a lecture on the properties of electrons, neutrons, and protons he slipped off into sleep.

However, he was plagued by a terrible…terrible dream involving a horrible remake of the already horrible movie: High School Musical. In this remake it involved the students of Sugar High breaking out into song for no apparent reason. Riku even had a song in it, and managed to kill several birds with his bad singing.

"My EARS!" screamed Sora when Lolly took on several solos in a row. The dancing coupled with the cheesy plotline were simply too much for him and forced him into a near catatonic state. This of course worsened when the Radioactive Furby made an appearance, and participated in several of the songs.

"SORA WAKE UP!" yelled Furby.

"Wha-?" Sora shot up in his seat and quickly wiped the drool that formed at the corner of his mouth.

"We've got detention to go to…School's over," stated Riku.

"Oh, right!" he hopped up and headed down the hallway with Riku on his heels. He was somewhat paranoid that someone was going to break out in song at any moment. They entered the classroom marked detention only to find that Mr. Nerd was their baby-sitter.

Sora sat down in his seat and scratched at something in his hair only to discover that he'd never removed the gumballs stuck there from that morning.

"Eww…this is so gross. Why didn't you tell me I still had gum in my hair?"

"Uh…" snickered Riku, "I figured that you were trying out a new fashion statement." Sora glared at his and proceeded to pull the sticky…chewed gum out of his hair. He had plenty of time as detention lasted for thirty minutes.

15 minutes later…

Billy and Furby had been waiting patiently by the flagpole, but Billy was beginning to get really edgy and impatient.

"Where are they? I thought that you delivered the note."

"Well, obviously they're somewhere…just not here."

Billy glared daggers at him, "And obviously you're a complete idiot."

"Sorry…boss…"

XxXxXxXxXx

Mr. Nerd had started to say something or other about how those that had landed in detention were the scum of the earth, but before he could finish the sentence he fell asleep. Now, the others trapped in the classroom with Sora and Riku began throwing all sorts of gunk around the room. Several Sour Warheads popped their knuckles and went to work on drawing a mustache on Mr. Nerd's face while other candies threw globs of gum on the ceiling, several of which banded together and landed on top of Sora's head…just as he had finished pulling out the gum from earlier that morning.

Sora pouted, but cheered up considerably when Mr. Nerd woke up to a blaring alarm clock and dismissed the students.

It was now time to "meat at the phlagpoll."
