Ah... do you know how good it feels to be typing... with my LEFT hand only? Yeah... sprained my freakin' right hand. Can only type with the left. Don't ask me how I got through school today; I'm a right handed person. But anyways... I think I'll start this fic now. My first multi-chapter Sky High fic. Yay. Now, I guess I have nothing else to say, except..

A 15 minute call to Geico could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. (Non-negotiable)

Demon Days: Ch. 1

YFWE

April. April is a time of beauty. The flowers blooming, the grass is green, and it is too freakin' hot outside. At least that's what the students at Sky High had been experiencing for a few days now. The temperatures had reached upper-90's, and to boot, Mr. Boy's air conditioner had unexpectedly (he thought it was a conspiracy to get rid of him, actually) broken down, leaving the Heroes as the only students that ever really had safety from the heat.

But as the sun came up on a new week, the past behind but the blistering heat still lingering, it became apparent that maybe, just maybe, this week wouldn't suck so much.

For it was time for the annual week-long Demon Days celebration at the school.

Demon Days. Okay. Think of a combination of Homecoming and Halloween... only this is in April. No one ever really knew why they were celebrating it a little over five months after Halloween. Some said that before time zones had been invented, Mr. Able, the principal of Sky High at the time, had just returned from Asia and, upon changing times so much, was so confused that he believed it was October, not April, and moved the Halloween celebration to that date.

Hey, needless to say, it stuck. And quickly, it became one of the favorite times of the year of most students (and even a few teachers). And now, it was here again.

Of course, it was the freshmen's first Demon Days. And a few of them weren't exactly sure what to think of it.

"Demon Days, eh?", Ethan remarked at the various orange-and-black decorations covering the halls of the school, "I don't really see what's so great about it..."

"Me neither", Zach sighed,"I mean, in the middle of April."

"-and no dance. What the hell", Magenta growled, "If the guy that invented this thing is still alive, I oughtta-"

"What? Gnaw him to death?", Will grinned.

"Well... yeah, something along those lines."

"C'mon, guys, lighten up a little", he said, before he ran ahead to catch up with his now-girlfriend, Layla, "Just give it a chance. I mean, there's gotta be a reason that it keeps coming back..."

"Sure, dude. Whatever you say", Zach muttered, as he and the rest of them made a left down another hallway toward Hero Support.

Goody.

(End)

"Good morning, class", Mr. Boy sighed as he entered Hero Support class a few minutes later. It was yet another crummy day from hell that awaited him- and to boot, it was Demon Days week. Now, not only was he required to cover his room with the festive colors of Halloween, but he was also submitted to the constant pranks handed out by students, as this time of year also happened to be a top joke-playing time.

"Good morning, Mr. Boy", the class monotonously answered. They didn't seem too thrilled, either. This, of course, is because of the fact that the majority of jokes are played on sidekicks anyway.

"Well... might as well get started", their teacher said shortly, "Fortunately for us all, we shall be staying inside the classroom, so don't worry about any pranks- that is, until you go to lunch. Then I'd get worried. I know I will be", he averted his gaze to a book, mumbled a few more words indistinctly, and looked up once more, "So- who's ready to get started? Today we will explore the scenario of 'What if your hero gets ambushed as part of a villain's diabolical plot'. Doesn't that sound fun? Didn't think so. Let's get started, then."

(End)

Meanwhile, Will had a gym class going on. Gym... wasn't exactly his favorite class, considering that he won just about everything, and it just wasn't fun to win anymore.

Most of Will's classmates were devising schemes for some practical jokes for the upcoming lunch period. Will, of course, was not devising any, as he knew he'd probably be defending his friends from them anyway.

His girlfriend Layla sat beside him, probably thinking the same thoughts. Layla had been transferred to the Heroes group shortly after Homecoming- and wasn't too thrilled with it. But hey, she was with Will. Sometimes, that's all that mattered to her.

On Will's other side sat Warren. Judging my the placement of his head resting on his inverted elbows, Will guessed that he was asleep. Late night at the restaurant, likely.

TWEET!

A deafening whistle sounded in the echoey gymnasium. Which meant you heard the whistle sound magnified and about two more times when it bounced off the walls. And up came Coach Boomer. He usually had a ball of some sort in his hand... but not today. Instead, tagging along behind him was... a muscular, long brown-haired boy. He looked to be a senior. And European. Will had never seen him before.

"Alright, everyone. Listen up!", Coach Boomer yelled above everyone. Everyone focused their attention on him. Partly because of the new guy. And partly because they knew that the gym teacher would use his sonicboom voice the next time. And that thing is even worse than his whistle.

"You're probably wondering why I have no sports equipment out, and instead have this very strong, larger-than-me new student behind me", he said.

"Well, there's no equipment because the damn office called me down to get him. Oh, yes- you're still having class today, and it's a doozie, let me tell you. However, I'm glad to say that we finally have an even amount in our class."

He turned to the new kid, "Everyone, let me introduce to you Baron von... uh..", he took out a small piece of paper from his pocket, "Um... little help, Baron?"

"Balderbong. Baron von Balderbong", he said in a heavy German accent. All the girls in the room- even Layla, sighed dreamily. All the boys in the room laughed at his last name.

"Yeah... whatever he said", Coach Boomer said, "Baron is an exchange student from Germany. He will be with us for the next few weeks. So please make him at home."

"Oh, don't worry about that...", a girl named Keisha sighed, obviously infatuated with the mere sight of him. And when he said "Thank you", it was apparent that all the girls were now in love- even Layla...

Will looked alarmingly from Layla to Baron. Uh-oh... was this guy about to steal his girlfriend? Scratch that, every girl in the school?

Who knows, but it's not because of his last name, that's for sure.
