Big Hero 6: Bigger, Badder, Better!
Chapter 2 - Who Are These Guys?
I don't own Big Hero 6 or any of the characters involved
A nervous Hiro was hesitatingly standing at the entrance of the college. "What if Gogo is already here? What do I do? What will she do?" he wondered aloud. He began pacing back and forth then took a deep breath. "Okay... I'm going in." he walked into the building and headed towards his lab.
Faster and faster he walked, and then, as he got to the last corner, he collided with someone and fell backwards. "Ow!" he shouted and rubbed his back. "Wha—" he began to raise his voice, but was silenced when he realised he had just bumped into Gogo of all people. "Oh... uh, hi? S-sorry about that." He laughed nervously and stood up quickly.
"No biggie, but what's the rush? I thought being fast was my thing." Gogo popped her gum and crossed her arms.
"Yeah, well, I was heading to my lab because I... had a new idea! Didn't want to forget it before I turned up, you know?"
"You're acting weird, Hiro." Gogo stared at him blankly, seeing straight through his ruse.
"W-what? No! I'm seriously heading to my lab! Honestly!" He smiled the most honest smile he could muster.
"if you say so." Gogo shrugged and continued walking.
"Wait!" Hiro called out suddenly.
"What?" Gogo turned back to him.
"Did... did you get... any… weird messages or something last night?" Hiro's face now looked like a tomato from embarrassment.
"A message? No, should I have gotten one?"
"No! Well, sort of, don't worry about it."
"All right, but if you're hiding something from me, I'll share baby photos of you all over San Fransokyo," she said without a hint of sarcasm and walked away.
Hiro breathed a sigh of relief. "She didn't get a message! Baymax's batteries must've run out before the message was sent! Sweet!" He walked into his lab, feeling like he was ready to take on whatever tasks he had for today, until he spotted the notice board. "What? New teacher? New students?" he ran out of the room and rushed down the halls into the main office.
Sitting there were five unfamiliar people and two of his friends standing at the door. "Hiro!" Wasabi and Honey Lemon called out.
"Hey, guys."
"Hey, little man." Wasabi bumped his fist.
"How are you, Hiro?" Honey Lemon hugged the short teenager.
"I'm okay, who are the new guys?" Hiro looked past his two friends at the new kids.
"We don't know; we're waiting for our new teacher to introduce us," replied Honey Lemon.
As if on cue, a slim, mean looking-woman walked into the room. "You! Students! I am your new teacher! You are to call me Ms. Baltino."
Hiro and his friends stood there silently until she smacked the ruler in her hand into her other hand. "Stand! Introduce yourselves!"
The five kids stood up from their chairs and walked over and stood in front of the heroes. "Wait, where is the bubble gum chewing girl and the mascot?" Ms. Baltino questioned Hiro's group.
"I don't know." Hiro shrugged his shoulders before pulling his phone out and dialed Fred's number. He put the phone to his ear, and then Fred's ringtone began echoing throughout the office. "Fred?" Hiro turned towards the staff restrooms as Fred walked out and answered his phone "Hiro! My mini-man, wassup?"
"Why were you in the staff restrooms?"
"Wait, how do you know where I am?" Fred gave his phone a suspicious look "Um, Fred... look ahead of you."
Fred looked up then laughed. "Oh! You're right here! Did you go to the restroom too? Did you see the hand warmer on the wall?! That thing could dry a cup of water in mere seconds, I swear!"
"Why the teachers' restroom?" Hiro asked again.
"Why? Well, the TP is a LOT softer! And the room smells much nicer, reminds me of summer camp." Everyone stared at Fred. "What? You guys never went to summer camp? You should've! It was awesome!"
"Enough of your bickering! Where is bubblegum chewing girl?!" the teacher exclaimed impatiently.
"Gogo should be here any second... I hope." Honey Lemon tapped her fingers together.
"There you guys are!" Gogo walked into the room. "Wait, why are you all in here?" She looked at her fellow students, and then the angry teacher, and then the new kids. "Okay, what's going on here?"
"You're late, Miss 'Gogo'! My students have been patiently waiting here for your arrival so they can introduce themselves!"
"And? Now you're the one wasting time, can we get this over with?" Gogo plainly crossed her arms and tilted her head.
"I can see that I am going to have a lot of trouble with you. Anyway, from one to five! Introduce yourselves!" The teacher stomped her foot.
The shortest of the five kids stepped forward. "I'm Gillian, I'm 10 years old." Hiro blinked twice and stared in shock at this little kid.
The second kid stood forward. "I'm Wasp, 17 years old." He was a little taller than Wasabi and even more bulky. He looked at Gogo and winked; she rolled her eyes, but blushed a little. Hiro noticed and felt a fire burning deep within him.
The next kid stood forward. "Name's Max, 16." He had baggy clothes and was as thin as the toothpick he was chewing.
The fourth kid jumped forward with a lot of energy. "Hi! I'm Millie! I'm a cheerleader! I'm 17 and I like puppies and kittens and my phone! You wanna text me or whatever just ask, 'kay?" She stepped back in line with the others.
Fred was lost for words as he stared at the blonde cheerleader. "Wow..." he said, a dazed look on his face.
Then the last kid stood forward and slightly pulled up his pants. "Hello, I'm Larry. I'm a huge comic book and movie fan! 'Lightlasers III' was the best movie of all time!" He stood back with the other newbies.
"Well? Your turn!" Ms. Baltino pointed to Hiro.
"Oh, I'm Hiro Hamada! 16 years."
"Aren't you supposed to be that 'genius' everyone is talking about?" Gillian questioned Hiro.
"Well, yeah, I—"
"You're far from what I had expected." Gillian turned away, unimpressed.
"Hey! You little—"
"Hiro, don't worry about it." Wasabi stood forward. "My friends call me Wasabi, I'm 19."
"You like lasers and stuff, right?" Larry questioned Wasabi as he wiped his nose with his sleeve.
"Well, yes, I—"
"You don't look smart." Larry turned away.
"How does someone 'look' smart?" Wasabi muttered, offended by Larry's comment.
"Ignore him, like he'd know anything besides movies." Gogo stood forward. "Gogo, 18." She stood back.
"huh, you look like you use skates," Max said to Gogo.
"Yeah? What of it?"
"Bikes and skates are so outdated—scooters and skateboards are way better."
"Better in what way?"
"Well, they're faster, that's for sure! I bet you'd totally eat my dust." Max smirked.
"You wanna eat my fist?!" Gogo launched herself at Max, but was stopped by Wasabi.
"Woah! Chill, Gogo, he's just working you up." Gogo shook Wasabi's hands away and stood back.
Honey Lemon stepped forward. "Hey, new fellow students! I'm Honey Lemon. I look forward to working with you all"
"Nice purse! Where'd you buy it? From the fashion-less shop?" Millie pointed at Honey Lemon's purse and laughed.
"No... I... Made it." Honey Lemon shyly hid the purse behind her back and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Hey! Not cool, you jerk!" Gogo exclaimed.
"Whatevs, tomboy."
"That's it!" Gogo once again launched forward, trying to get her hands on Millie, and once again was stopped by Wasabi.
"Gogo, seriously! You need to—"
"You tell me to chill one more time Wasabi and I swear I'll misplace and hide every tool you have in the lab!"
"Enough your childish antics! You! Go!" The teacher pointed to Fred.
He stepped forward towards Millie. "Hey there," he said in a smooth, seductive voice. "Name's Fred, 19, awesome mascot, got some sick action figures, wanna see them?" He moved his eye brows up and down.
"No way." Millie ignored him and continued texting.
"Did I mention that I live in a mansion... and I'm very rich?"
Millie looked up in excitement. "Really!?"
"You know it, hot stuff."
"We're, like, totally dating now!" She latched onto his arm.
"Fred still has the charm..." Fred smiled to himself, and once again, everyone was staring at him.
"Dude... what the heck?" Gogo spoke first.
"Don't be jealous, Gogo."
"I will break you." She glared at him.
"Fair enough, my bad."
"Now that introductions are out of the way, get back to work!" said the new teacher. "Assignments will be given out at the end of the week. You are dismissed!"
The heroes all sat in their joint lab, their minds running over what had just taken place. "Who are these guys?" Hiro asked his friends.
"I don't know, but I don't like them." Gogo crossed her arms.
"Ne neither," Wasabi mimicked Gogo.
"Millie's hot..." Fred sighed as he thought of the cheerleader.
"Why are you even dating her, dude? She was really mean to Honey Lemon! You know? Your friend!" Gogo raised her voice.
"She was just playing! Everyone knows that Honey Lemon has a lot of fashion."
"Thanks, Fred... I guess." Honey Lemon half smiled, and then continued staring at her purse like she had been since they left the office.
"Guys, let's not let this get to us, okay? We know who we are, and no matter what they say nothing will change that," said Hiro, trying to cheer his friends up.
"Yeah! You don't need to look smart to be smart!" Wasabi agreed with Hiro.
"I'm mad that I even let them get to me like they did, I know I'm the fastest and I don't need to prove anything to anyone." Gogo smiled in agreement.
"Fred's right! I'm very fashionable! And my purse is adorable!" Honey Lemon hugged her purse.
"Millie's hot," Fred repeated, still thinking about the blonde.
After the long hours at school, Hiro and his friends made their way to Hiro's home. "No crime fighting today? That sucks." Hiro pulled his bag up on his shoulder.
"Yeah, I hear you! I needed some bad guys to beat up after today!" Wasabi sat at a chair.
"I'm just glad we can relax now." Honey Lemon sat next to Wasabi.
"Hey, Hiro? Where's Baymax?" Gogo asked Hiro as she looked around for the marshmallow robot.
"Uh, I had him spend the whole day charging, it seemed like he really needed it since I use him almost daily."
"Makes sense." Gogo put her feet up on the table.
"Hey, kids! How was school? I heard there's a new teacher with a bunch of new students!" Aunt Cass seemed excited at first when she came in, but the looks on their faces and the groans sucked the happiness and life out of the room. "That bad, huh?"
They all nodded in unison, except for Fred. "Guess what, Ms. H?! This guy has a—wait for it…! A girlfriend!" Fred cheered.
"Really?" Aunt Cass questioned, more in surprise then curiosity
"Yeah! Her name's Millie! And she's a cheerleader! And I'm a mascot so it's like destiny!"
"Well done, Fred..." she halfheartedly congratulated the naive man.
"Can you excuse me and Honey Lemon for a moment?" asked Gogo suddenly.
"Okay, sure..." Aunt Cass barely answered the question before Gogo pulled Honey Lemon out of the room.
"Gogo, what's going on?"
"Look... I'm not good at this kind of stuff, but you're my only female friend here, and you're not as immature as the boys, so you're the only one I can turn to."
"Okay, but what about Aunt Cass?"
"...I can't talk to her about this"
"Why not?" Honey Lemon looked at Gogo, confused.
Gogo slowly reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone and put something on the screen. "...This is why."
Honey Lemon looked at the screen and gasped. "No way!"
