Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Detentionaire.

A/N: Good news everyone! I got my time back to write but I still will need to get into the habit but, expect updates to pick up to where they were in 2020ish on back for those of you who were reading back then.

For those that didn't, except for the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas), I would update one or two stories a week outside of internet/power failures or family visits. And for the holidays I would take the first week of the month off at least to write a Ch for each story then an extra for the one that's getting updated so I could update all stories for the holidays for those times as a present in case there's a lot of family/friends visiting.

I have a poll up on who Ron should be paired with, I haven't gotten a vote for it for a while and if I don't get many after a few rounds of updating all stories then I'll take it down.


Chapter IV: Math Math Revolution.

Lee's House 7:00 AM.

Lee pulled the poster covering his clues before sitting at the desk to bring up the email.

Having detention for a whole year for pulling off the biggest prank in high school history is bad enough, right?" But everything I do to try to prove I'm innocent gets me in even more trouble! I was sure the skaters were behind the prank but they got their orders from someone pretending to be me in an email, and they only did the paint part.

He then leaned in to look at the two email addresses. "I've got an email address: RadcirclesATanigmahigh. Now I just gotta figure out who sent it!"

4:12 PM

Lee was running down the hall holding Biffy's cat who was wearing the sweater Biffy knitted as it scratched him.

At 4:15, detention gets out. But I'm nowhere near detention and Ahw! Cat claws are crazy sharp!

"That's it, cat! Papa Barrage is coming to getcha good!" Barrage said as he turned a corner following the meows he was hearing.

"You awake? Barrage is on my tail!" Lee said to his comms.

"I told you, I can't track him like this. You're wearing my eyes." Biffy replied as all he saw was Lee's chest.

"More like your eyes are wearing me!" Lee ducks behind a bank of lockers. The cat starts to meow, so Lee clutches it close to stop the noise. In response, it digs its claws deep into Lee's arms and rends his flesh. "Hff! Gow!" He groaned quietly as Barrage got near the locker

Earlier That Day… 8:33 AM

"Would the following students report to Room 113b: Irwin Dexter and Brad Myers."

Naruto closed his locker as he heard Tina over the intercom before seeing Lee walking up and holding the phone he got. "Picking a good song?"

"What?" Lee asked as Naruto pulled the smartphone that was in a black shockproof case up and showed him a photoshopped picture of Lee picking his knows but with a pale arm that wasn't his.

"This has been going around all morning. It's gold… Not unlike what you've been digging for."

"T-That's not my arm," Lee said as Naruto put the phone back in his clip holder.

"I know, too pale an arm." Naruto chuckled as he fixed his backpack up and Cam walked over. "But I gotta have some fun.

"Ping! Yo, bro!" Lee offers his right hand for a fist bump. "Oh did you uh, uh, wash that hand?"

"What?"

"Don't worry Cam, that's a fake photo." Naruto smiled at that. "It's obviously someone still pissed that Lee's popular for the prank that made them throw up and had to burn/buy new clothes."

"It was emailed school-wide. Everyone's seen it, bro!" Camillio said to them.

"Emailed? From who? Wait! Was it Radcircles?" Lee asked before bringing the email up as it was sent to him as well. "Nah, it's from ." He said as cheerleaders walked by them.

"Ew!"

"That's disgusting."

Camillio then raised his arms at that. "Hey, it's fake, okay! Aw man, you–we–someone has to do like damage control pronto man, stat! Right away, you know, like, uh, asap!" Cam said turning to Lee as they walked the hall and bumped into Brandy.

And having Lee gather Brandy's dropped books and holds them out in his left hand. Brandy blanches and runs the other way. "Uh, gotta go."

"Your books!" Lee yelled out at her.

Camillio shook his head at that. "Unh, it's worse than I thought! Your girlfriend won't even talk to you, bro!"

Lee stood at that and put the books by the lockers. "She's not my girlfriend, she's… Forget it."

Homeroom.

Naruto stretched before seeing the news come up before Tina spoke finishing her report on a lunch item.

"...in summary, there'll be no more (Gag!) turkey lasagna for lunch. Ever."

"Holger, it wasn't me!"

Naruto turned as Lee showed their friend the picture. "It's fake!"

Holger wiped the sweat from his forehead at that. "Phewf! 'Cause in Holger country, only president put finger inside nose."

Naruto smiled before looking up to see Chaz smiling.

In less snoozy news, here's a little nugget, pardon the pun. Everyone's seen the email of booger-picker prankster Lee Ping?" He said as he held up the picture, which he printed out. "Could this be the end of his popularity ride?"

Later, after class, Naruto, and Lee are walking down a hallway with Holger when Cam rushes up. "So this booger thing could go like two ways, man. Bad, or really bad."

Lee sighed at that. "Dude! Enough! I'm trying to find out who sent the prank email, and you keep yapping about boogers."

"Yeah but bro, we gotta–" Cam stopped as a group walked up wearing sweaters with math symbols on them.

"Penny for your snots, Ping." One said tossing a penny at Lee's face

The first has pale skin and short brown hair with the Pi symbol on his sweater

On his left is a boy with dark skin and brown hair with the divide symbol on his sweater.

On the right is a short chubby girl with fair skin brown hair in a ponytail and a unibrow with the multiply symbol on her sweater.

In the back is a tall girl with pale skin, glasses, and auburn hair in pigtails with the minus symbol on her sweater

"Yeah, like, that is so gross." The tall girl said with spit flying out from her retainer.

"Mathletes. Still working on the same old math equation? What's it been? Six years now?" Lee taunted them as the one in front smiled.

"You're just jealous! 'Cause one day we will solve the prestigious Pythagoras math problem, and win that million-dollar prize. Without you!" He said before the group left

Camillio palmed his face at that. "Aw, man! Even the mathletes are sniping us! This is like, mucho disaster dude!"

"Why Irwin make hate-cake for Lee?" Holger asked Lee about the first boy.

"Bro-o, our boy Lee used to be a mathlete. And Irwin and him were bestest friends back in the day." Cam replied getting Holger to gasp.

"You wore sweater of nerd? But–you used to be friend? Now not no more?"

Camillio nodded before explaining. "One day, snug as two Mexican bugs, the next, dastardly enemies. So is the circle of life, dude."

"It wasn't like that! We never–" Lee stopped before blinking as something came to him. "Circle? Radcircles, of course! I thought Radcircles was a skater term, like 'Totally rad, dude.' But it's a math term, like 'Radius circle.' Heh. It's gotta be Irwin's email address."

Naruto shrugged at that. "Well, he does hate you."

"Guys. Holger say no losing friends here, okay? Me desire Lee Naruto and Cam to be BFFs till the old man times." Holger holds up a picture he drew of them as old people still hanging out together.

Camillio blinked as he saw the hot young nurse at Holger's side. "What?! How come you get the cute nurse?!"

"Ugh. If this is Irwin's email account I'm sure he's encrypted it to the tenth power of math nerddom." Lee mused at that. "But. If I can get on his laptop, his password's probably already entered."

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa! You are not gonna hang with mathletes, bro. Not while our rep is down." Cam waved his arms at that.

"Dude, if I can prove Irwin sent that prank email, I can prove my innocence. Gotta jet, spare." Lee said before running off. "And I know just where Irwin'll be."

"Holger no realize friends could make bye-bye. Hold me?" Holger picks his friends up in a tight hug. Unfortunately for Cam, this is the moment when a trio of cheerleaders happen to walk past. They giggle at the sight of him being hugged by Holger, and Cam groans.

Library.

"Fellow mathletes. This is a new year. And this year, we solve the Pythagoras math problem. So set your notebooks to stun!" Irwin said to the group at a table before the elderly lady shushed them

Lee walks in to spy on them from behind a bookcase. He ducked as Beth ran past him to her fellow mathletes. "Guys. I just found something. A missing part of the equation! And, it's on microfiche! Who's excited?" She asks as her retainer pops out before the group quietly cheers.

"Huzzah! To the resource section!" Irwin said as they dashed to the section.

Lee then crawled to the table with the laptop. "Now or never." As he starts sneaking toward the laptops, his phone rings getting the librarian to shush him.

"Ssh!"

Lee then answers his phone with a whisper "What?"

"Holger want to say 'hi friend!'" Holger said over the phone.

Lee then switches to his earpiece to continue. "Kinda in the middle of something!"

"So Holger sing you spy music for the secrets of the mission. Dum dum dum, dum be dum dum–" Lee begins sneaking towards the laptops again as Holger sings. "Sneaky time, dum be dum de dum, de da da da, we are being sneaky!"

Lee hears the sound of his cyborg principal as he enters the library. "I smell nerd brains! And cranial oil!"

"Ssh."

In response, Barrage growls, and the librarian cowers behind her book. "Uh-oh. If Barrage catches me enjoying a spare–" Lee stops as Holger interrupts him.

"Barrage? Holger make music extra intense! Doom de doom doom doom, doom de doom doom dum de dum, sneaky!" Lee hides behind the end of a bookcase as Barrage peers down his aisle. "You got to sneak and not get caught, by Barrage!"

Math Class.

Naruto sat behind Tina before whispering. "Psst! Tina!"

"The answer is a, no you cannot cheat off me!" She said over her shoulder

"Cheat? Me?" Naruto asks as he is already finished. "I just wanted to talk to you about Ping! Did you know who sent the finger-picking thing?"

"Not now!"

"Well, I thought maybe we could swap info, your 411 for my interview." He explained getting her to smile and look over her shoulder to reply.

"I'm in!"

"Ahem!"

They look up to see Lee's mother, the math teacher as Naruto smiles. "Uh, sorry Mrs. Ping. Um, math makes me, excited."

Library.

In the library, Lee peers out from behind a bookcase and sees he made it to Irwin's laptop. "Gotcha." He sits down and begins trying to open programs on the computer. "C'mon, c'mon!"

"Lee."

Lee looks up to see the Mathletes walking over. "Ping!" Irwin reaches over and shuts his laptop.

"Gross! His snot digits were all over your computer." Beth said as she wiped spit off of her face. "Get the disinfectant!" Beth laughs, spitting in Lee's general direction as she does so having Lee lean away, disgusted.

"Looks like I caught you red-handed, booger-fingers! Trying to steal all our work for the Pythagoras math problem." Irwin said as Lee sighed standing up.

"As if." He said looking at Irwin

Greta then advanced on him. "So then what brings you to our table?" She asks placing a hand on his chest. "Miss our (Snort!) long math trivia nights?" She wiggles her eyebrow at him.

"Uh, I was looking for a certain email I know a certain someone sent!" Lee said taking a step back.

"Ssh!"

Irwin then whispered as the librarian shushed them. "Email? What email? I don't know any 'email.' Even if there was some random email that actually existed you were randomly talking about, you could never prove it. Empirically, or mathematically."

"Ah ha! Then open up your laptop and prove it, Mister Radcircles." Lee said as Irwin looked confused.

"Circles? Third-grade advanced geometry? What's that got to do with anything?"

"Don't play dumb with me!" Lee said before a metal hand reached out and clamped down on his shoulder. "Aw come on, we're whispering!"

"I don't care if you're doing the chorus from My Sweet Mustachioed Lady. What're you doing HERE?!" Barrage asks him.

Lee looked over his shoulder at Barrage. "Me? Uh… I have a spare."

"And where are you supposed to be during all spares?"

Detention.

"Detention?"

Lee asks as Barrage drops him in his seat. "Bravo!" He said before storming off "Not bad for someone with nothing but oatmeal and tiddlywinks going through the eyebrows!"

The door shuts behind him and as soon as he's gone, Lee pulls out his phone and makes a call.

" Holger says hello."

"Holg. I need your help after school." He asks his friend looking at the door to make sure Barrage doesn't come in.

Naruto And Tina.

Tina is walking through the halls before Naruto walks up. "What's the plan?"

"I help you and you give me an exclusive."

"Deal. I'll get out of detention in a moment." He said before jogging down the hall

He got in detention as Barrage walked in to see him, Lee, and Biffy "Tweedledumb, Tweedledoofus, and Tweedledumber. You sit there and think about which one's which. And not one peep!"

Barrage starts leaving, but is halted by the sound of a meow.

(Meow!)

"Uh, technically a meow, not a peep," Biffy said as he raised a hand. The principal growls but exits the room. As soon as he's gone, both boys breathe a sigh of relief, and Biffy lets his cat out of the vent. "It's okay. Robo-meanie is gone now!"

"Before you say anything, the picture was a total fake," Lee spoke as Biffy rolled his eyes.

"Obviously. I can tell a bad paint job a mile away! But I gotta have some fun. Find any gold up there?" Lee looks away angrily before his phone vibrates. "You gonna pick that up?" He laughs as Lee answers the phone.

" Super spy Jorf Borf reporting for duty!" Holger spoke from the line.

"I'm here, Holger."

"Who's Holger? Holger no here." Holger replied as Lee sighed.

"Fine. Jorf Borf. You heading to the Mathletes clubhouse?"

"Operation: Keep Friends in effect," Holger said as Lee looked down.

"I'm not gonna stop being-forget it. When you get there, tell 'em you want to join. Like we talked about."

"Won't he make suspicious face?" Holger asks.

"Tell him you think I'm gross, I'm a–"

"Snot farmer!" Biffy laughs as Lee facepalms

"Booger picker. And that you always loved math. And itchy sweaters." Lee said to Holger after a sigh.

Holger.

"Boogers, sweaters, always, okay."

Holger opens the door to the mathletes' classroom only to find nobody there. "Computers? But no humans? Maybe they turn into computers at night!"

"No! They're just not there. Irwin's laptop is the one with the pi symbol on it. Flash drive that puppy." Lee said as Holger walked in, put his phone in his pocket, and headed off to do as commanded.

He slowly approaches Irwin's laptop and taps the screen. "Nice computer human. Holger friend."

The spy inserts the flash drive and waits for the information to finish downloading. He begins whistling nervously to pass the time. Suddenly, the mathletes walk in carrying cans of Green Apple Splat. Irwin and Greta spit out their drinks in shock. "INTRUDER!"

"Hi," Holger said as the mathletes surrounded him, and Wayne shut the door. Lee hears all this with growing concern.

Detention.

Naruto opens the vent cover as Lee tries calling Holger. "Holger? Holger!"

The sounds of an approaching cyborg are heard. Lee puts his phone away and Biffy hides his cat in his shirt. Barrage walks in. "Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest, check."

Barrage shuts the door, and Biffy groans in pain as his cat claws at his chest having Barrage stick his head back in before seeing nothing. "Carry on."

The principal shuts the door, and Biffy removes the cat from inside his shirt. "Uhhhhhhhh...ow."

Naruto then jumps up in the vents to meet up with Tina as Lee continues calling Holger with no luck.

Server Room.

A teen boy with brown hair, a grey sweatshirt, and jeans was looking at a screen before speaking "Okay. Got it."

"Hey Lynch. Busy?"

He turned to see Tina and Naruto walking in."Hey!" He closes a window on a screen. "It ain't hip to be in here!"

"Naruto just joined the news team and I'm showing him the hotspots," Tina said as she placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"The school servers is a hotspot?" Lynch asked her having the reporter nod.

"Don't be modest. The servers are like the school's brain! And Lynch is in charge of it all."

"So cool!" Naruto smiled before walking up. "If some girl, sent me some, email, and says she likes me, you could check who she is right?"

"Hmm. Kinda against school policy." Lynch said to the blonde.

"Aw, but this is love," Naruto said having Lynch sigh but decides to fulfill the request.

As he works, Tina sneaks away to the computer behind them. "Naruto Uzumaki, right?" Lynch asked typing as Naruto nodded.

"Totally."

While Lynch is distracted, Tina starts working at a separate computer.

Mathletes Room.

"Too dark. My eyes! They no work."

Holger said as he was tied and blindfolded to a chair. A hand snatches the blindfold from his head, revealing that his eyes are shut. "Aah! My eyes still no work!"

"Yeah, maybe try opening them, doofus." Irwin sighed as Holger did as requested, and the mathlete shoved a light in his face. "Who sent you? Why are you stealing our info? And–what are you wearing?" Holger looked away guiltily before Irwin looked up at Wayne. "Commence tickle torture!"

Wayne approaches the spy with a feather and begins tickling his chest. Soon, Holger breaks down laughing. "Okay! Okay! Holger tell! My shirt by Swedish designer Sven Svenson!"

"Fine. Be that way. Set feather to tickle tantrum!" Irwin orders as Wayne presses a button on the feather, and it begins vibrating furiously. "You'll talk. And laugh."

Holger does indeed begin to laugh.

Detention.

Lee tries to reestablish radio contact with Holger. "Lee Cy to Jorf Borf. Come in Jorf Borf." Receiving no response, he hangs up. "Something bad's happened. Holger would never not respond to Jorf Borf." Lee said to Biffy.

"It's part of the spy business. Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a pawn." Biffy spoke as he looks up.

"Holger isn't a pawn. He's my friend. A friend who I sent in unprepared to do my dirty work. Lemme call Naruto." Lee makes the call only for it to go to voicemail before getting a text. "Hey. If you ever want to see your friend again, come to the math room now…. What?" He reads it aloud before turning to Biffy.

"Uh-uh. Way on the other side of the school. Suicide mission, buddy. Holger's a big boy, he can handle himself." Biffy said holding his cat.

"Have you met Holger? I gotta save him, he'd do the same for me! Not–very well, but he'd do it!"

Biffy put a small camera on his cat's sweater at that. "Well, I do have one untested Barrage tracking tactic left."

"Very resourceful. But how's he gonna track down Barrage exactly?" Lee asks walking over.

Biffy holding up a tiny bell smiles. "This bell goes around kitty's leg, and Barrage will follow the noise." Biffy ties the bell on. He then opens the door to the detention room and lets his cat go and had him running down the hall. "One day they're licking milk out of your hand, and the next, they're heading up dangerous spy missions."

"They grow up so fast. Let's sync it up, baby!"

Biffy smiled walking in as Lee went up the vent. "That's my line."

Soon, Lee is using the vent system while Biffy directs him. " If you drop down now, the second-floor stairs are on your left. Any further, and you'll be right in the middle of the girls locker room."

"Thanks for the warning this time." Lee drops from the vent and hears Barrage approaching from the other direction.

Lee ducks behind a wall as Barrage comes to the intersection, and Lee prepares for his inevitable capture until Biffy's cat runs past. "Who goes there!?" He asks before scanning the cat that stopped to lick his paw before taking off having Barrage follow. "I don't allow vermin in my school."

The cat begins running as the principal chases it. Biffy watches the feed from afar. " Stay safe, Rumplekittykat."

Server Room.

"Okay, mi amigo. It looks like I found out who sent this love letter."

Naruto nodded as he was watching Tina before turning. "Really? Who?"

"Ha! Nice try! That 'love letter' was sent by her!"He hitches a thumb towards Tina. "Five minutes ago!"

Tina emits a gasp before speaking in a melodramatic tone. "It's true! I secretly love you and I just didn't know how to tell you!"

"This is all so… sudden." Naruto catching on pulls her into a hug. "Our parents will never allow such a union."

"Why, oh why, can't the Kwees and the Uzumakis just get along?"

"Because, of the ancient ancestral feud seven years ago! Now we are destined to find love against all odds!"

Lynch, frustrated, shoves them out of the control center. "Show's over, Naruto and Tina-ette!"

Lynch leaves to calm his nerves. Before the door can shut, though, Tina stops it from closing with a card. "Library card. A girl's best friend." She said as she and Naruto entered the server room.

Math Room.

Lee enters the math room of the school.

"Well, well, well. The famous Lee Ping. We finally meet."

Lee sighed as Irwin spoke. "We saw each other this morning, dude. Drop the evil villain act."

"Lee!" Holger's hair is being held up by Wayne, who has a pair of scissors. "They are to make my hair go kafloofashoop!"

"Leave his glorious mane alone!" Lee shouted at them.

"Oh, we've only begun! Your little plan to steal the answer to my equation failed and now your spy is caught." Irwin explained as Lee sighed.

"I don't care about the equation. My mom made me join the mathletes. Your uniforms itch and Beth's retainer is–distracting."

Beth, spitting as she speaks back at him. "Says you!"

Lee looking at the equation picked up chalk. "Since when is x1 to the third ever an integer of y to the power of x?"

Lee erases the incorrect math, and the mathletes gape before a nervous Irwin speaks. "D-so, you spotted my deliberate error. You always thought you were better than me at math."

"Replace thought with knew." Irwin's eyes widen at that.

"Lies. All LIES! WRISTBAND ME!" The mathletes snap wristbands onto his wrist and a sweatband onto his head.

"Oh-ho-ho, really. What's it gonna be? Dueling Chalkboards? Or Calculator Chicken?" Lee smiles as Irwin laughs

"You have a lot to learn about math club." Irwin pulls at a section of the wall, and a miniature dance floor complete with lighted panels, a giant TV, and massive speakers pops out.

Irwin: "Rule number one of math club is!"

"Bring your own protractor," Wayne replies at that.

"Rule number two?" Irwin steps on the dance floor. "We always dance it out." He casts off his normal clothes, revealing a dance uniform hidden underneath.

"So, rule number three is you have to look like a complete idiot?" Lee asks walking up to Irwin before Wayne speaks.

"Solve an equation, get a point."

"The first to seven wins." Beth finishes with a giggle-snort and attempts to wipe Wayne's face off as some of her spit gets on him.

Lee steps onto the dance floor "If I win, will you promise that Holger's hair'll be safe?"

Wayne nods, and the game begins.

"Eat my math dust!"

The first equation comes up and the duo uses the dance floor as a giant calculator, and Irwin gets the question correct, winning the first point. They then start dancing as the next one comes up before Holger speaks. "Wow! Mathletes are, maybe, groovy?"

Server Room.

Tina is working at the bank of monitors while Naruto keeps watch. "What email account am I looking for?"

"Where the finger thing came from of course. But Lee's looking for Radcircles as well."

Lynch, whistling, can be heard coming back. "There's no time for both."

"OK, see who Radcircles is." Naruto shuts the door and goes out to stall Lynch. "Hey, bro! Uh, buy you a Green Apple Splat? You know, they say it's like the splattiest."

"It's got more splat in each can than-No thanks. Just forgot my keys." Lynch said walking to the door.

"Hey, are those shoes the new flattop grooves?" Naruto said stopping him again.

Math Room

In the math room, the score is 5-3 in favor of Irwin. "I know you're the one who framed me for the prank. You sent the email to the skaters." Lee said winning the current round, pulling to within one of Irwin. Holger bobs his head to the music as the next question comes up and Lee wins this one as well, tying the match.

"Fine, yes, it was me. But I sent it to more than just the skaters." Lee gasps as the next question appears on the screen. Irwin wins this one without a hitch, and the same question appears again. The eyes on both math whizzes widen, and they begin dancing furiously. Irwin does the splits and suddenly stops. "My leg! YA!"

Lee calmly finishes the equation and then turns to his rival, who is being helped up by Greta. "That email's ruined my life! Why'd you do it?"

"Okay, embarrassed you, maybe. But ruined your life? Come on." Irwin said as Lee glared before speaking.

"Just admit that you're RadcirclesATanigmahigh and gimme the rest of the prank plans!"

Irwin blinks at that. "What're you talking about? I'm not Radcircles. I'm IPFrehley?"

Irwin walks over to his computer and opens a program. It shows a picture of Irwin picking his nose, Lee standing around, and finally Irwin's arm placed into a picking position on Lee's picture. Lee goes over to take a look, and while he's distracted Irwin zips back over to the dance floor. "Huh?" Lee asks as Irwin swiftly dances his way to a win.

"Ha! I win! Nah na na nah nah! You're not a real math nerd!"

"Dude, you picked your nose to frame me. How is that a win?" Lee asks in a deadpan as he shows the others the pictures.

Irwin smiles at that. "I picked my nose to make it look like you picked your nose!"

"Gross." The other Mathletes spoke as Lee untied Holger.

"Sorry for putting your hair in danger, buddy." He said before turning to the mathletes. "And guys, this guy, as a leader? Really?"

"But–but I beat him. I'm better!" Irwin said from his spot,

Greta turns to Lee and smiles "So, do you need an after-school study buddy? Hmm?"

Lee then brings his hand up to his ear. " Um, we got problems. You gotta go! Mr. Rumple is heading towards–" Biffy said as Lee took a step back.

"Sorry Greta. Gotta go."

Holger instead smiles at Greta as Lee left. "I make the excellent study buddy. One plus one equal–" He stops as he grabs her and spins Greta around. "Dance team!"

Greta laughs and wiggles her eyebrow at him.

Meanwhile, Lee enters an intersection just in time for Biffy's cat to leap into his arms as Barrage near them growls. "I hate cats."

Lee runs away from the principal, eventually hiding behind a bank of lockers where he clutches the cat close to keep it from making any noise. The cat is not pleased with this and rends the flesh on Lee's arms. "Yeeh!"

"Oh, I should've mentioned I really need to trim his claws," Biffy said over the comms.

The principal tromps closer as Lee attempts to sink into the shadows. Fortunately, Barrage passes by the detentionaire, unaware of his presence.

"Where to? Kinda running blind here!" Lee asks as he runs the other way.

Up ahead, Tina sneaks out of the server room before Lynch turns to walk in. "Yeah, that's real good, but uh I gotta–" He enters the control center, letting the slamming door conclude his sentence.

"So, I figured out who sent that email. You're not gonna believe this!" Before Tina can share the news, Lee skids around a corner clutching Biffy's cat. He walks by them calmly.

"Shoot, gotta go, just email me that info," Naruto said as they saw Barrage's shadow

"That way." Tina points to his front having him walk down the hall.

Up ahead, Lee runs into the detention room and hands Biffy's cat to him as Naruto runs in and closes the door to sit. As Lee sits down, Biffy puts the cat inside of his shirt as Barrage opens the door. "You three see a filthy little feline?"

"Uh-uh." Buffy shook his head at that.

"Nope." Lee followed suit as well.

"Nada," Naruto replies hands behind his head.

"De-smissed!" Barrage yells before leaving.

Lee's Room, 10:00 PM

Lee is lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling. "I can't believe it wasn't Irwin who pulled off the prank. The motivation, the revenge, the drama? It was all there."

A video chat window opens on Lee's screen.

"Hey, bro. I figured out who Radcircles is!" Naruto said to him

"Really?! I so owe you."

"Big time."

So? Who was it?" Lee asks as he sits at his desk.

Lee hears noises outside. He looks out his window and spots Holger climbing a nearby tree.

"Want to hug nighty-night to friend." He holds his arms out, loses his balance, and topples to the ground. "WOOOOO!"

"Lee, close that window." His mother walks in to speak and leaves.

Lee rolls to the window at that. "Night Holger. Next time it might be safer to send me an e-hug."

"OK," Holger replies before groaning in pain.

Lee rolls back to the computer. "Naruto?"

"The Radcircles prank email came from... The old principal's account."

"The one who's missing?" Lee asks grabbing his desk in shock.

"No the invisible one… Of course, the one that went missing." Naruto deadpanned at him.

"The missing principal? Why would he want to set me up? Or–could he be trying to tell me something?" Lee asks before looking at the phone again.

To Be Continued.


A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.

Good news everyone! I got my time back to write but I still will need to get into the habit but, expect updates to pick up to where they were in 2020ish on back for those of you who were reading back then.

For those that didn't, except for the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas), I would update one or two stories a week outside of internet/power failures or family visits. And for the holidays I would take the first week of the month off at least to write a Ch for each story then an extra for the one that's getting updated so I could update all stories for the holidays for those times as a present in case there's a lot of family/friends visiting.

I have a poll up on who Ron should be paired with, I haven't gotten a vote for it for a while and if I don't get many after a few rounds of updating all stories then I'll take it down.

The next to be updated will be Maelstrom Jedi.

Nothing else to say.
