Balancing Act

Disclaimer: I do not own Johnny Test

So, school starts up for me tomorrow, no it's not a joke, and I thought I'd get this chapter up today.

For some people who are wondering, and because I have the whole story plot written, just some spoiler alerts:

Chapter 11 is when Johnny and Sissy's relationship starts.

Chapter 13 is a their first Lime

Chapter 20 and 25 are Lemons

So, that's all the info you're getting, the rest remains a secret. Now, the key word for all of my wonderful readers: Patience...I know, I lack it too.

Anyway...Enjoy!

1 week later

Johnny groaned as he walked into his English class. Now that most of the camping slips had been turned in the teachers were cramming more information down their throats so that they would be prepared for their finals in a few weeks. Miss Luun began to bark the lesson at them, and by the end of class she finally started to give the homework assignment.

"I want exercises four thru seven complete by tomorrow." Miss Luun growled as the whole class groaned.

"Hush up you ingrates. When I was your age I didn't get this higher form of education." Miss Luun hissed. Johnny rolled his eyes, drawing her attention.

"Did I say something boring to you Mister Test?" Miss Luun snarled as she hobbled over.

"You give us that load of bull every time the class groans at the crazy amount of homework." Johnny said blandly.

"Detention Mister Test." Miss Luun barked.

"I have work." Johnny said.

"I don't care." Miss Luun said as the bell rang. Johnny walked out of the class, scowling, as he went to lunch.

"Old bitch." Johnny growled as he took his seat at the lunch table, dropping his tray of food onto the table. Sissy looked up at him.

"Did you get detention too?" Sissy asked monotone.

"Yeah, but I didn't do anything to deserve it." Johnny said before he started to eat.

"She's too old to still be going through menopause, I think she's just crotchety and knows that since she's retiring the school can't do anything." Sissy said. Johnny shrugged as he ate.

"I'll call Larry." Sissy sighed, pulling out her phone and quickly dialing the number.

"Hello." Larry said.

"Hi Larry. I won't be showing up to work today. Miss Luun gave me detention." Sissy grumbled.

"I always got detention from that old witch. Thanks for letting me know. What about Johnny?" Larry asked.

"I'll have him call you." Sissy said before ending the call. Johnny called a moment later and told Larry the story just as their friends arrived to the table.

"What is it that could possibly take you guys longer to get to the table than us?" Sissy chuckled.

"They ran out of food and had to go heat up some more." Tia said as she and the others took their seats.

After school in Detention

Johnny and Sissy walked through the gates of hell where the she-devil Miss Luun awaited, and evil smirk on her wrinkled face. They took their seats and just as Sissy reached down to grab her homework so she would have something to do – other than think of Johnny, who was sitting right next to her – her hand was snatched away and up.

"What?" Sissy growled.

"What were you reaching for?" Miss Luun hissed, her breath reeking of cabbage and onion.

"My homework." Sissy said innocently.

"Oh no you're not. You will sit there for the next ninety minutes and listen diligently while I read off the school guidelines and rules. So sit up straight and pay attention." Miss Luun barked before going to the front of the room and taking in a deep breath.

1 ½ hours later

"Lastly, always dress appropriately for school. Now you hooligans may leave and I hope you took this detention to heart." Miss Luun snarled smiling. Johnny and Sissy stood, stretched and left the classroom.

"I'll give you a ride home." Johnny offered.

"Ok. So, did you pay attention to any of that?" Sissy asked.

"Never have and never will." Johnny chuckled as they reached his car.

"Same." Sissy replied as she got into his car. Just as they started driving Johnny phone went off. He put it on the jack that plugged into the speaker in his car.

"Yes Agent Black." Johnny said.

"Johnny, we need your assistance on a recovery mission of the utmost importance." Mister Black said in a serious tone.

"This better not be another grocery run." Johnny groaned.

"Would you consider the fact that our super rare weapon that runs on a certain key code of gems missing boring?" Mister Black asked. Johnny's eyes widened.

"Nope. Be there shortly. Test out." Johnny said hanging up his phone. Sissy looked at him in awe.

"Are you a secret agent or something?" Sissy asked.

"Pretty much. I do the crazy dangerous missions that require more agility and stealth. You can't tell anyone about this Sissy ok." Johnny said.

"No shit Test." Sissy snickered as they pulled up to her house.

"Thanks again Test. Be careful out there." Sissy said as she got out of the car.

"No prob. I always am." Johnny chuckled before driving off.

The next day

Johnny leaned again the wall of the school, his head drooping as he struggled to stay awake. He had gotten no sleep at all and it was evident. Sissy walked over to him, two Monster energy drinks in her hands. Johnny had nodded off by the time she got there. Placing one drink in the crook of her arm, she reached up with her free hand and pinched his nose shut, making him wake up, gasping for air.

"Don't do that Sissy." Johnny groaned.

"Which one?" Sissy asked, completely ignoring Johnny's annoyance. Johnny looked up and saw the drinks and snatched the orange one, cracking it open and taking a big gulp.

"Thanks." Johnny said.

"Figured you'd need one." Sissy said smiling as the bell rang.

"Come on; let's go, before Miss Luun goes all sorts of crazy." Renee sighed. The teen all turned and went to their respective first period classes.

After School

Johnny and Sissy drove to work in Johnny's car. Sissy looked over and saw the dark purple under his eyes.

"You sure you want to work today?" Sissy asked, the concern seeping into her voice.

"I'll be fine." Johnny said as the pulled into the small parking lot of the store. Sissy didn't believe him but shrugged and walked inside with him. They began to work, customers coming in at a steady yet slow pace and before they knew it, it was seven.

"Hey Johnny, can I come over to do some homework?" Sissy asked as they got into his car.

"Sure." Johnny said tiredly. When they arrived to his house the smell of spaghetti wafted through the air.

"Hmm, dad's making something eatable." Johnny chuckled as they walked up the stairs.

"Door stays at least six inches open." Hugh yelled from the kitchen, making both teens blush.

"It's just homework!" Johnny yelled back, embarrassed. Dukey walked over.

"How was work?" Dukey asked, not seeing Sissy.

"Dukey!" Johnny said as he saw Sissy's eyes widen.

"What…oh crud." Dukey said as he made eye contact with Sissy.

"Your dog talks? How? When…wait, it was your sister's wasn't it?" Sissy asked as they continued walking to Johnny's room.

"Yes, my sister's played with his brain. He's been able to talk for quite a while now. Try to relax and let's do our homework." Johnny said.

"I'm fine, that's just fucking cool!" Sissy exclaimed.

"Wow, she took that well." Dukey chuckled. Johnny rolled his eyes and then yawned.

"You don't look so good bud, maybe you should lay down." Dukey said, nudging Johnny with his paw.

"I'll be fine." Johnny grumbled as he sat on his bed, only to be slightly interrupted when Sissy sat next to him and pulled out her homework. An hour passed before they started a normal, non-school related conversation.

"So how the fuck do you do it?" Sissy asked.

"Do what?" Johnny asked.

"Government stuff, school work, work, social life, and family life. My head's hurting just thinking about it." Sissy said.

"I was kind of brought up that way." Johnny said, shrugging.

"It's just incredible that you can do that. Crazy and stupid, but incredible." Sissy said. When there was no response Sissy looked over and chuckled at the sight. Johnny had fallen asleep, completely crashed, book still on lap, head on pillow. Sissy giggled, took his books and placed them on the floor and moved him just a little before resuming her homework. Hugh walked in.

"Kids time for dinner." Hugh said before actually looking at his sleeping son and the girl sitting and doing her homework.

"I'll wake him up." Sissy offered, closing her book. Sissy pinched his nose shut, making him wake up.

"I'm gonna get you for that." Johnny growled.

"I know. Anyway, dinner." Sissy said, rolling her eyes. Johnny stood and stretched before heading downstairs for dinner.

"You're one interesting boy Johnny, just saying." Sissy said.

"I get that a lot." Johnny chuckled lightly.

I figured that the government would still call on Johnny and his sisters to do the dangerous stuff and decided to add a chapter to show how crazy Johnny's life is, which opens Sissy's eyes.

Anyway, R&R. I will hopefully get another chapter up this week, but something tells me this week is gonna be crazy.
