For some strange reason people are writing fanfics where for some strange reason Mr. Krupp's niece is friends with George and Harold. Apparently she's nothing like her uncle...personally I figured that I would be more creative than that.
Since there's not a lot of Captain Underpants fanfics, I figure I would write my own. The Captain Underpants fanfic archive seems about as empty as the Jerome Horwitz School Elementary. Talk about irony.
Chapter 1: Welcome To Piqua, Ohio
Jenny Trunks was a bit disappointed that she would have to move away from New York to start a new life, but to be honest, people were expecting too much from her. She was pretty darn smart and people wanted her to solve problems they couldn't solve themselves.
She was about ten years old and had orange hair. She also dressed in yellow and green.
It was getting on her nerves.
Hopefully she would be able to start a new life in Jerome Horwitz Elementary School. They wouldn't expect much from her, right?
On the lighter side, she was pretty sure she would do well at elementary school...though she heard that the school principal was not a nice guy. In fact, she wondered why she was hired by the superintendent to be school principal in the first place.
She had best try to stay on his good side. But did he even have a good side? She got the feeling that he did, but it only came out in specific situations. She wasn't sure which ones.
Her parents had assured her that she would make friends at school. Kids that were about her age.
She thought that would be refreshing. Of course, she already knew what her report card was going to be like. She was going to be on the Honor Roll alright.
Still, she wondered what the students and the teachers would be like. Hopefully they were a friendly bunch.
If so, she was going to like it here.
Her father was in fact friends with the superintendent, but she wasn't going to use that to blackmail any of the students. That would be cruel.
Currently, she was relaxing in her room along with her action figure, which was a robot. For some strange reason the robot in question resembled a mouse. She thought that mice were cute believe it or not.
She decided to watch TV to see what was on the news. She heard that all sorts of crazy things happened in Piqua, Ohio, but she decided to dismiss the rumors for the time being.
Apparently, strange crop circles had been spotted by farmers. She wondered who was creating those crop circles.
She noted that was the first sign of an alien invasion, but she thought that those only happened in movies.
Speaking of which, maybe she should go to the movie theater. She heard that Captain Underpants was in theaters. The executive producer was a man named Dav Pilkey...but who named their child Dav instead of Dave?
And yes, Dav Pilkey wasn't the only one that could break the fourth wall...though he also liked referencing Dav Pilkey's other works in a Captain Underpants fanfic.
She wanted to know already.
She decided to go to sleep. Hopefully her first day at school would go well.
She started to snore.
The next day...
After being woken up from her parents, she decided to go to school.
However, much to her surprise, it didn't seem very interesting.
As soon as she entered the classroom, she quickly noticed how bored the students looked.
They didn't seem like they had much to do.
She felt sorry for them.
At that very moment, Mr. Krupp entered the classroom. Apparently, he wanted to introduce the new student to everyone.
"Today's the day that we're getting a new student. I look forward to having her to tor-I mean be in our school. Your teacher will be with you shortly. But for now, shut your yap and study your textbooks!" exclaimed Mr. Krupp.
"Whoa! I guess Mr. Krupp really is a horrible principal..." noted Jenny. Why didn't the superintendent fire him already?
She wanted to know already...and she already knew a lot of things.
She was sitting next to two boys. Strangely enough, they didn't seem to be bored at all.
She wasn't quite sure why.
In fact, they were whispering in each other's ears. She got the feeling that they were up to something.
As soon as she left the classroom, she noticed what was written on the sign.
Written on the sign was "POP QUIZ NEXT WEEK. YOU PUNKS MUST STUDY FOR IT OR ELSE! YOU LITTLE BRATS!"
Something told Jenny that Mr. Krupp had written that.
However, at that very moment, the two boys that she had encountered earlier rearranged the sign.
Now the sign said "MR. KRUPP SMELLS!"
"That was immature...yet somehow satisfying." noted Jenny.
She wasn't normally the type of person to engage in pranks, but that was actually rather amusing.
At that very moment, Mr. Krupp spotted them.
"George and Harold!" screamed Mr. Krupp.
George and Harold ran, laughing all the while.
"So, that's who those two boys are..." said Jenny.
However, as she continued walking down the hallway, she bumped into a young boy wearing glasses.
"Ow! Watch where you're going! Do you know who I am? I'm the smartest kid in school!" demanded the boy.
"Sorry!" apologized Jenny.
"Wait, I heard of you. You're the new kid..." answered the geek.
"Yeah..." answered the girl.
"My name is Melvin Sneedley...pleased to meet you, I guess." said Melvin.
"Pleased to meet you too..." stated Jenny.
Was he really the smartest kid in school or he was simply exaggerating?
She decided to listen to what he had to say.
"I'm getting ready for the science fair that's coming in a couple weeks..." answered the boy. He was really going to win over the judges this time.
"Interesting..." answered Jenny. Maybe she would participate. She was pretty smart, after all.
Fortunately, it seemed that the first day of her school had gone well, though she noted that some of the students at her school happened to be mischievous. At least they didn't seem to be taking things too far.
She decided to see what school would be like tomorrow.
The next day, she noticed that George and Harold were giving out comics to the students at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School.
"What's this?" questioned the girl.
Harold handed her one of the comics.
She decided to take a look.
"Captain Underpants vs. The Dastardly Pirate Crew?" questioned Jenny. That seemed like a strange title for a comic book.
She decided to take a look through the comic.
Apparently, Captain Underpants was a superhero...who inexplicably was flying around in his underpants.
"If he's such a superhero, why is he doing something so...illegal?" questioned Jenny.
He was starting to question if Captain Underpants was really a superhero.
However, she decided to continue reading. You couldn't judge a book from its cover, even if if the site of a middle aged man in his underwear would probably scar people for life.
Apparently, the pirates had spray painted a pirate flag on the side of the school, and had forced the gym teacher to walk the plank. For some strange reason, when a student told him this, the teacher was more concerned about the spray paint than the gym teacher.
Then again, the gym teacher had forced the student to do all sorts of grueling pushups the other day, so perhaps it made sense.
The rest of the comic was rather predictable. Captain Underpants sank the pirate ship, and the pirates were marooned on an island, cursing Captain Underpants.
It looked like the day was saved.
"The spelling and drawing could be better...and I'm pretty sure that they got the idea from some other comic book...but this was actually pretty good." answered Jenny.
Perhaps if she was lucky she could get George and Harold to sell her an autographed copy.
However, at that very moment, Mr. Krupp called George and Harold to the principal's office on the intercom.
For some strange reason, she could have sworn that she heard him mumble in the intercom "They're really going to get it this time!"
She wondered what she had called them in for.
She decided to check out the principal's office.
"What is the meaning of this garbage? How many times are you going to write about Captain Underpants in this school?!" exclaimed Mr. Krupp.
"He's the best superhero ever!" shouted George.
"No superhero is going to save you from me! You've got detention for a week!" shouted the teacher.
"How are we going to make Captain Underpants comics while we're in detention?" asked Harold.
"You won't! I'm going to take every Captain Underpants comic you've made and I've putting them in the paper shredder!" bellowed the principal.
"Oh nooooo!" screamed George. Was this the end for them? He thought it might be the end of them when Mr. Krupp discovered that they were responsible for one of the biggest pranks the school had ever seen. Thankfully, he chose to blackmail them instead of simply turning them in to the teachers and their parents, allowing George and Harold to hypnotize him and make him forget all about the tape he had made.
"I wish that Captain Underpants would save us right now..." remarked Harold.
"Didn't I already tell you? Nobody's going to save you! Nobody! Not even your precious childhood icon that you invented!" exclaimed Mr. Krupp.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that..." answered Jenny.
Immediately, she began to knock on Mr. Krupp's face.
"Ms. Anthrope, is that you? If it's the gym teacher, tell him that I'm not supplying him with any more dodge balls! Though I wouldn't mind seeing him throw a dodge ball in Mr. Beard and Mr. Hutchins's faces right now..." noted the principal.
"Actually, it's the new student." stated the girl.
"Oh. Well, in that case, you can come in. Mind you, I'm about to give these two exactly what they deserve, so make it quick." answered Mr. Krupp.
"I'm starting to question if that's really what they deserve..." stated Jenny.
"Of course they deserve it! They've been terrorizing my school for years! It's time for them to pay!" exclaimed the principal.
"Oh really? You're giving them detention for a week simply because you find their comics offensive...but have you thought about asking the students about the comic to see what their opinion was?" asked Jenny.
"I don't need to! I know that they all hate it!" exclaimed Mr. Krupp.
Jenny noted that what Mr. Krupp had a tendency to not turn out to be true.
"Have you looked outside?" asked Jenny.
Mr. Krupp decided to look outside.
He discovered that the students were reading the comic books, and they were laughing.
It seemed like they were fans of George and Harold's work.
"What?!" exclaimed Mr. Krupp.
It appeared that he had been proven wrong.
For a moment, he considered not destroying all the Captain Underpants comics.
However, seeing the children so happy made him feel the exact opposite.
"So what if they like the comic? Big deal! I'm the principal! I can do whatever I want! And a little girl isn't going to stop me!" exclaimed Mr. Krupp.
"What about the superintendent?" asked Jenny.
"What?! The superintendent? The super...s-superintendent?" shouted the principal.
"Whose the superintendent?" inquired George.
"I don't know but something tells me that Mr. Krupp doesn't like the idea of having him at his school..." noted Harold.
"If he finds you're abusing the students, I don't think he's going to want you to be school principal anymore." remarked Jenny.
Mr. Krupp's teeth began to chatter, and his fingers were in his mouth.
"Whoa! I've never seen Mr. Krupp this scared!" exclaimed George.
"Usually he's the one who frightens the school..." noted Harold. Not even his teachers were too comfortable with him...except for his secretary. He's the only one who seems to put up with his antics.
"You-you're bluffing! You wouldn't s-send him to our s-school!" shouted Mr. Krupp.
"I happen to know his phone number...my dad calls him all the time. He wrote down his number on a piece of paper." answered Jenny.
Mr. Krupp's face turned white.
"So, do you want me to make the call? Or should I have George or Harold do it?" inquired the girl.
"Alright, fine! You win! I won't shred the Captain Underpants comics!" exclaimed Mr. Krupp.
"And?" asked Jenny.
"I won't give Mr. Beard and Mr. Hutchins detention!" shouted the principal.
"Anything else?" inquired the girl.
"I'll give you As on your report card!" exclaimed Mr. Krupp.
"I'm good, thanks." answered Jenny, pulling out her report card.
George and Harold wolf whistled. They could only dream about getting those kinds of grades. Of course, they spent more time pranking than they did studying. School was boring to them when they weren't selling comics.
Mr. Krupp sighed in relief. It looked like the superintendent wouldn't be coming to visit.
If he did come to visit, chances are that he would be fired. But for some strange reason, he never did. Perhaps he was busy visiting all the other schools under his jurisdiction.
"Thanks for helping us out there. For a moment I thought we were done for!" exclaimed George.
"No problem. You boys don't seem so bad...though I do wonder why you keep pulling off so many pranks..." answered Jenny.
"It's so boring at this school! We needed a way to pass the time somehow..." explained Harold.
"Well, you've got a point there." stated the girl.
"How can we repay you? And what is your name?" asked George.
"My name is Jenny. And you can sign my copy of your Captain Underpants comic book..." answered Jenny.
"Consider it done! Hopefully it'll be a bestseller!" exclaimed the boy.
"Keep it up and it will be." answered Jenny.
George signed Jenny's copy of the Captain Underpants book.
Jenny had to admit, her time at Jerome Horwitz was going well for her.
However, there was something about Mr. Krupp that she did not know yet...
...but she would find out eventually.
For now, she decided to go to the cafeteria to eat something delicious.
Unfortunately, what she found was somewhat disappointing.
"Brussel sprouts for lunch? Well, at least the vegetarians won't be unhappy..." noted Jenny.
Deciding not to take food for granted, Jenny began eating the brussel sprouts anyway.
"I sure hope that Mr. Krupp cleans up his act someday..." thought the girl.
I hope you're enjoying this fanfic, so far. If it goes well I'll be featuring more than one villain...and no, Mr. Krupp isn't the only villain in this fanfic. You can probably tell at some level who the villain is going to be based on what Jenny found on the news.
Jenny is one heck of an attorney, isn't she? I gave this chapter some thought and I figured this would be a good way to show how smart Jenny is.
