Royal Pain and Stitches were spying on the secret sanctum again and Stitches had the pacifier. "Mission complete." Royal Pain told him. "Tomorrow is the night."

They both laughed evilly.

The night of homecoming came and Will's parents kept taking pictures of him and Layla. "Okay, that's enough." Will said getting embarrassed. "We're gonna be late."

"Sorry." Josie apologized. "You two just look so adorable together."

At homecoming, music was playing and everyone was partying. Will and Layla walked over to the refreshment table, holding hands. Mr. Boy was there. "Hey Will, Layla, want a drink?"

"No thanks." She and Will replied.

"Oh, don't worry. The bubbles are just ginger ale." Mr. Boy assured them.

Speed and Lash grabbed the glass from him and spilled it all over his shirt.

"The guys at this school are jerks." Layla said. "Except for you." She told Will who smiled.

Warren walked over and was surprised to see Will with Layla. Wasn't he supposed to be with Gwen? "Stronghold?"

"Uh, hi." Will said.

Layla was surprised to see Warren in a tux. "I thought you weren't gonna rent a tux."

"It's my dad's. He doesn't have much use for it in solitary." He replied. "So why isn't Will with Miss. Pink?"

"I dumped her." Will replied as he smiled at Layla.

Warren could tell that something happened between Will and Layla. "Wait, are you two together?"

Layla nodded.

He grinned. "So the plan worked then?"

"Actually he already liked me before Gwen."

"Well since I'm here, I'm gonna ask Crystal to be my date." Warren walked off. Crystal was a girl that he really liked and she had the power to freeze things. She was kind of like him. She didn't like to be bothered much and wouldn't let people mess with her.

Will put out a hand. "Shall we dance?"

Layla took his hand and he led her to where everyone was dancing. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she replied by wrapping hers around his neck; then they swayed back and forth to the music. The song 'This is your night' by Amber began to play.

Josie and Steve smiled as they watched Will and Layla dance like any couple in love would. They both looked peaceful and happy as they rocked back and forth, then Layla rested her head on his chest and he smiled as she did that.

"Don't you remember when we used to dance like that?" Josie asked Steve.

"Yeah." He smiled.

"Aw, they're just so cute together." She cooed. "I always had a feeling they'd end up together." She got out her camera and took a quick picture.

"Let's have our own fun." Steve took her hand and they began to dance.

Warren walked over to where Crystal was. He was kind of nervous. "Uh," He began. "Would you like to dance?"

She blushed. "Sure."

Gwen and Penny were near the desert table; talking amongst themselves and they saw Will and Layla dancing. "Lame." Penny commented which caused Gwen to chuckle a little. "I know. I can't believe I got dumped for a sidekick."

Will spun Layla around three times and caught her in his arms. They were having a great time. In about ten minutes; it would be time for the hero of the award speech. When it was time for the speech, Principal Powers told everyone to stop partying and the music stopped. "Good evening, first a quick announcement. The owner of the blue cold fusion powered jet pack; you left your lights on."

"Sorry." Mr. Medulla apologized. "Sorry." He made his way pass people. "Excuse me. Sorry."

"And now, please help me welcome the head of the homecoming committee, the girl who made all this possible, Gwen Grayson.

Gwen stepped on the stage and walked over to the podium. "Thank you, Principal Powers. And a very special thank you goes to our guests of honor and the recipients of our first ever hero of the year award, the Commander and Jetstream."

Everyone cheered.

"And to mark this occasion, we've planned a special tribute to the most powerful super being ever to walk the halls of Sky High. Me!" She twirled her dress and it turned into an armor suit and a helmet covered her face. She was Royal Pain!

Everyone gasped. Mr. Grayson became her sidekick Stitches, went on the stage, opened the podium and handed Gwen the pacifier.

Will was in complete shock, along with Layla and his other friends. He pulled Layla closer for comfort.

"Royal Pain is a girl?" Steve asked still in shock.

"Yes, I'm a girl you idiot." The helmet made her sound like a man. "How I ever lost to a fool like you I'll never know. Now prepare to be pacified."

"Do you honestly think you can kill me with that little toy gun of yours?" Steve asked.

"My dear Commander, who said anything about killing you?" She blasted him until he was gone. Josie went over to his clothes and pulled out an infant. It was the Commander.

She flew in the air and Gwen blasted her into an infant as well. As she was falling, Mr. Boy caught her in his arms. "Josie! I've always-" Before he could finish, he was blasted.

"Rock a bye baby!" Stitches cackled.

Will grabbed Layla's hand and they got out of the way before the beam could hit them.

Mr. Medulla came back. "What'd I miss?" He was blasted. "Ah!"

Everyone began to scream and started running. As people ran over to the blinds, Penny, her clones, Speed and Lash pulled them down. They were a part of this too. "Boomer! Get the kids out of here!" Principal Powers was blasted.

Boomer faced Warren. "Hothead! Find an exit! Get as many people out as you can! I'll slow her dow...!" He was blasted.

Warren, Zach, Ethan, Magenta, Will and Layla headed for the vent as Warren blasted a fireball at it; then they quickly crawled in. "Well I guess Miss. Perfect isn't so perfect after all." Layla joked.

"Nope." Will replied smiling.

"Look, now's not the time for you two to be lovey dovey." Warren was clearly annoyed.

"You're right." Will said as Warren blasted at the end of the vent and they all climbed out. "We have to stop her."

"Who? You and Warren?" Magenta asked. "The rest of us are only sidekicks."

"Just because you have powers doesn't make you a hero. Sometimes it just makes you a jerk. Especially me. I got too caught up in all the popularity that I didn't realize who my real friends are." He then stared at Layla. "And my true love."

She smiled sweetly at him and they shared a quick kiss." Isn't that sweet?" Spoke a familiar and sarcastic voice. The gang turned and saw Speed, Lash and Penny. "I hate sweet." Penny finished.

"You go handle Gwen; we'll take care of these clowns." Warren told Will.

Will wasn't sure if he should leave his friends and Layla. "Go." Layla told him.

So Will ran through a wall with his strength and went off to find Gwen. Magenta and Zach crawled back in the vent, Lash grabbed for Ethan, Penny multiplied herself and went after Layla and Speed was going to mess with Warren.

The war was on!
