Drake and Josh

Episode 05: Duo in Detention

The Two Boxes

"You know, I have a perfect record in school!" exclaimed Josh, putting down his pencil on his desk.

"My school record," said Drake, "Is something you DON'T want to see."

"I always finish my homework," said Josh.

"I always finish my homework," said Drake, "By tricking Josh into doing it for me."

"I have straight A's," said Josh.

"I have straight D's!" exclaimed Drake, "It stands for "Drakishly smart.'"

"And the best part," said Josh.

"The worst in it all," said Drake.

"I've never had detention!" smiled Josh.

"I have to stay back in school every Monday FOR DETENTION!" shouted Drake.

"Josh! You left your ointment downstairs!" shouted Walter.

"You didn't hear that!" said Josh.

Introduction

The bell rang and all of the students shut their notebooks.

"Thank you, class," said Mrs. Hafer, "And remember, your projects are due tomorrow, and they could affect your grades greatly!"

"I can't believe it," said Josh, "Mindy got picked before I could choose a partner. Now I'm stuck with you!"

"What? I'm good at studies," said Drake, "I have an average grade of D!"

"D is bad!" shouted Josh, "BAAAD!"

"Don't worry," said Drake, as he walked out of the door, "I'll make sure I help a lot."

"Alright," said Josh as the two brothers walked thru the hall. Suddenly, they heard Mrs. Hafer's voice scream:

"I HATE YOU, DRAKE!"

"I KNOW!" shouted Drake in response.

The Story

Josh walked into the living room and called to Drake, "Listen, I've got to go down to the supermarket and buy mom some groceries. I've gotten half of the project saved in the computer!"

"Okay," said Drake inattentively, his eyes glued to the TV screen.

As Josh walked out, he was unaware of the fact that Drake had not heard a single word he had said.

--------------------------------------------------

The next day, Drake and Josh were in class. When Mrs. Hafer asked for the projects, Drake asked Josh if he had done it.

"Wait, you didn't complete it?" asked Josh.

"No, you didn't tell me!" said Drake.

"Yes, I did!" said Josh, "Before leaving."

"Well, you know it's wrong to disturb people when they're watching TV!" said Drake.

"Headaches!" shouted Josh, "You give me HEADACHES!"

"Let me guess," said Mrs. Hafer, dropping into the duo's conversation, "No project due to Drake, correct?"

"Yeah…"muttered Drake.

"Well, boys," said Mrs. Hafer, "I don't want to do this to you, Josh- but Drake is another matter."

Drake rolled his eyes. Josh gulped.

"I'm giving you…" said Mrs. Hafer.

"Please no…" murmured Josh.

"DETENTION!" concluded Mrs. Hafer.

"What a surprise!" exclaimed Drake sarcastically.

"Detention? No!" shouted Josh, "I HAVE A PERFECT RECORD AND IF IT'S BROKEN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO AND…aah, I need an inhaler!"

Josh fainted.

--------------------------------------------------

"Well, boys," said Mrs. Hafer, "I need you to paint these walls. And DRAKE! (She shouted so suddenly, Drake jumped with a scream) No goofing off!"

As Mrs. Hafer walked out, Drake childishly wiggled his tongue at her.

Josh slapped Drake and shouted, "That's not MATURE!"

Josh then picked up a brush from the can and started to paint the walls. Drake took the roller and dipped it into the bucket. As he lifted it, he lost control of it and accidentally painted Josh's the back of Josh's T-shirt. Gasping, Drake took a napkin and started to rub it all over Josh's shirt. Josh noticed and looked back.

"What?" he asked.

"Oh," said Drake, "Just cleaning your shirt from…from…mildew! Yeah, that's right, mildew!"

"Mildew?" asked Josh. He rolled his eyes and went back to painting. Drake lifted the roller from where he had placed it to see that there was paint on the floor!

"Oh man…" whined Drake.

"What happe- HUHH?!" shouted Josh, "Drake! You dripped paint on the floor?!"

"Not on purpose!" said Drake.

"Aw man!" groaned Josh, picking up a napkin from the desk, "Let's clean the- Drake, why is the napkin already wet?"

"Uh…mildew?" smiled Drake, innocently.

--------------------------------------------------

Drake and Josh finally managed to finish painting the classroom.

"Whew! Finished!" gasped Josh, "High five!"

Drake's full-of-force high five hurt Josh. In anger, he slapped Drake. Drake slapped him back. Josh slapped him again. Then, Drake shoved Josh- into the wall!

Josh stumbled onto the ground, his shirt full of wet paint. In anger, Josh climbed up and wrestled Drake onto the ground and as they rolled over, the wet paint dropped over the floor.

--------------------------------------------------

After finally managing to clean up, Drake and Josh opened the door and stepped out.

"Mrs. Hafer!" they called.

"What do you think happened?" asked Josh.

"I don't know," said Drake, "But let's get out of here. Having spent an hour extra of school was NOT my idea of fun."

"Say, Drake," said Josh, "What kind of detention do you always get?"

"Scrubbing the toilet," said Drake, "But I pay Eric to do it, that's why I never get home late."

Mrs. Hafer walked into the hall, having heard Drake's words.

"Josh, you may go," said Mrs. Hafer, "Drake, scrub the toilets, and by the way, Eric's at home."

"Darn," muttered Drake.

As Mrs. Hafer walked away, Drake whispered to Josh, "Forty bucks."

"That is not my job," said Josh, imitating Helen's voice from "Happy Times."

As Josh marched off, Drake called out to him:

"HELEN SAID YOU DON'T SAY IT RIGHT!"
