This is also real-life based. And it was awesome. Seriously it was freaking EPIC.

Danny was eager for the last day of school before winter break. Jazz, however, didn't seem to be nearly as enthused, and Danny was dying to find out why. It wasn't because she loved school so much she didn't want a break - Jazz could really use one - it was something else. Something else was bothering her.

Danny just happened to have his door open while Jazz walked down the hall, talking angrily on her phone, and Danny's sensitive hearing (no, he wasn't trying to listen in - superheroes don't eavesdrop) picked up some of her one-sided conversation.

"Cynthia, don't you dare - no, I don't care what Alex says, it is not a good idea. I know senior pranks are supposed to be crazy but…Cynthia? Oh, don't you dare hang up on me-!"

Senior prank? Yes! Jazz was a senior, she would know about it. And since Jazz was his sister, she had to tell Danny, right? If he asked very nicely…

"Jazz," Danny knocked on her doorframe and put on his most diplomatic, sophisticated voice, "we're brother and sister - we share things. I share my superhero life with you and you…well, if you wanted to get even with me, you would share something with me, right? Maybe your feelings, something that's bothering you…a senior prank…"

"Oh no," Jazz shook her head, "I'm not involved in that mess."

"Oh come on!" Danny tried in vain to keep the childish whine out of his voice, "I'll bet it's good - wait, does it involve people picking on me? Because people like to do that. You're not TPing things, are you? Because that's lame. Does it involve-"

"Danny, I'm not involved. I'm not going to tell you anything."

"You're not involved, fine, but you know. Please, Jazz?"

No dice. 'All right, Danny, time to use genetics to your advantage…'

Jazz looked over to see a pair of what had to be the saddest, most pathetic blue-eyed gaze that Danny had ever given her, and he bit his lip slightly in a hurt expression that almost broke her. Almost.

"Maybe you should do what I did when someone kept a huge secret from me," she told him with a glare, and Danny's expression soured, "find out for yourself."

Danny heaved a great sigh and left the room, "point acknowledged."


Danny was late to first period again. Technus wasn't that hard to beat, but it still took him longer than he had hoped. Oh, he was so going to get it…

Still, Danny couldn't get his mind off of the elusive senior prank. Second period was the last class of the half-day and first period was just about to let out. He hadn't seen one cool thing…

Wait…

"How much longer 'til the bell rings?" Danny recognized the hushed voice under the stairs - Jazz's friend Cynthia. He also heard a subdued clucking sound coming from the same direction. What in the world…?

"Just a couple of seconds, go ahead and let 'em go."

Let what go?

"All right, bell in three…two…one…"

The bell rang signaling the end of class, and almost at the exact same time five live chickens wandered out from under the stairwell. It didn't take long for Danny to hear squealing and shouts of "oh my god - chickens!"

He looked up at the squeals of people upstairs - chickens there too?

No, he heard a shout from Mr. Lance. "Lord of the Flies! What are all these pigeons doing up here?"

Pigeons and chickens. The senior prank…pigeons and chickens.

After seeing everyone either scramble away from them or go out of their way to try and pick one up, Danny decided his exact feelings.

"Awesome."


Last day of school was today. You know what that means? Yes! IT'S SMUGGLE LIVE BIRDS INTO THE SCHOOL DAY! :D

How did they not get caught doing that - now that is a question right there...

You're asked not to bring your backpack on half days of school, they're afraid of silly string and other unsavory things. I don't think pigeons and chickens were among the things they were looking out for, though...

Phanny's train of thought today: "oh we're not doing anything in second period I have such awful cramps right now I just want to go home I'm going to call mom almost to the classroom what everybody standing around for HOLY CRAP THAT'S A CHICKEN."
