Sky Heights Academy Chp 2July 29th 2144, 22 days before classes start Sky Heights Academy Campus, north side:Zoom. A NOVA Biplane flew over the heads of three faculty members. Sky Heights Academy readily housed many of its teachers, secretaries, doctors, and staff members all year long, even though they released their student body on June 8th of every year. Many students also stayed at the school year-round for whatever reason.But the reason 15-year-old Jerome Bell was staying there was because his mother worked at the school. He and his three younger siblings had been raised on school grounds.Speaking of Jerome, he was the one rollerblading up to the thr

The navigation system of which had not been turned on since she received the craft when she attained her pilot's license from Blue Sky Academy. The reason for this was simple: Melody Schmidt could give you the latitude, longitude, typical weather conditions, and prevailing wind patterns of any location on the globe on demand. This is what made her an invaluable component of her Division at school as Navigations Expert. She stood there that day hugging, shaking hands, and saying goodb

Hans"You're crazy." Said Micah as and Kim stomped through the Music Room one day after school. Amandine was already in the room, working on some homework at a table in one corner. "I am not!" Kim argued back as they both shed their backpacks and other school supplies onto the table Amandine was working at. "Almond!" They both said at the same time. She put her pencil down and threw her arms onto the table, annoyed. "Kim keeps saying the Sherlock Holmes was Hans Zimmer's best work. Tell her that the Inception score was better!" Micah pounded on the table. "Micah!" Kim yelled. "You are letting your love for Inception cloud your
GravityA sousaphone is a type of trombone popular with marching band musicians. Amandine was preparing to practice on her, dressed in her band uniform just because, when Chandler came into the Brass Room. If it hadn't 've been raining, she could've been practicing outside. Amandine doesn't do wet in wool unless she has too."Hey Almond." He said, coming down the three steps to where she was standing."Hey." She said, adjusting the large instrument sitting on her shoulder. She took a deep breath and was interrupted before she began to play."Hey Almond, can I have a dollar?" Chandler asked her. She looked at him, titled her head to one side
Briefing the NoobLADIES AND GENTLEMAN! WELCOME TO THE DISCLAIMER! YES, THE DISCLAIMER! THIS IS THE PART WHERE I TELL YOU THAT SOME OF THE COMMENTS IN THE FOLLOWING CHAPTER MAY CAUSE OFFENSE. THIS ISN'T MY FAULT. DO NOT YELL AT ME. Thank you. Chandler Freeman knows what all of Celine Dionne's second album sounds like when played by a drum line. He blames this knowledge of the Fish Scales Marching Band's former director, Allen Matthews. He has since been dispatched in favor of Sherice Oldman, whom he was on his way to meet, along with twenty other percussionists and their drum major Lian.
You Know You're When "You know you're a band geek when…" Chandler said to his friends as he scratched his dreadlocked head with his bass drum mallet as he tended to do when he was thinking about something. His friends thought for a moment, knowing he'd started a game of "Finish the Sentence", then the person to his left, Amandine, started, as per game rules. "The very thought of the 'mouth piece game' gives you the heebies." She stated, shuddering, at the thought of her sousaphone's mouthpiece being switched out with that of another player in her section. This is why she keeps it with her at all times. To her left was Kim, who had been re-stringin

Teen Titans the next gen Chp 1Raven yawned, getting out bed. She glanced at her husband beside her; the green changeling wasn’t getting up anytime soon. “Today’s the day.” She muttered under her breath. On the nightstand was a picture of their family. She picked it up and smiled. She and Beastboy stood with Ember, Sage, Gaberiel, and Artimuse, their children. Artimuse stood between his parents, and he had been born blind, he was the oldest and was as tall as Raven and looked just like her, except for his pale green eyes. Next to him was the youngest, Sage, pale skin, purple hair, pointed ears. Beastboy was rubbing her hair teasingly. On the o

He turned off the alarm and glanced at the wall, where a picture of his own family hung. He and Starfire were smiling in the frame, he had his hand on is son’s shoulder, Robert Grayson, Robby to everyone else. A lump appeared in his throat, thinking of the day the picture had been taken, shortly after, Robby had told him that he didn’t want to be a Hero, he wanted to go to culinary school, it was a disappointment to say the least, but he had let him do what he wante

Cyborg sighed after blowing up the last of the balloons. “What’s wrong, Sparky?” He turned to his wife, smiling. “Nothin, Bee, it’s just… She’s just…” She rolled her eyes at him. “Sparky, Digit’s the same age you were when you joined the Titans.” “Yeah, I know,” “So what’s the problem?” “No problem…” “Ah-huh.” He looked down. “You are an over protective little bucket ‘a bolts, aren’t you?” She reached into her pocket and p

Get up!” She threw the covers off them. “Up, up, up, up, up!” “Okay, okay…” Speedy rolled out of bed. “Go make some coffee.” His wife said, pulling the blanket back onto the bed. “Oh no, no, no, no, no, you’re partaking in this madness.” Speedy dragged her out of bed. “But I don’t wanna go ta school, mommy!” She said, more awa
Saving the world, again chp 1Two cars pulled up to Kadic on the first day of school one year. Aelita and Jeremy stepped out of one of them, adults, married, living in The Hermitage and dropping off their kids. Two kids rushed out of the car. “Get back here.” Jeremy scolded, they backed up. The girl had blonde hair with deep pink roots and the boy had just plain blonde hair. “Neena, James, have a good day, and remember, if anything blows up, we can hear it from the house.” Aelita brushed a piece of hair out of her daughter’s face. “But won’t you guys be at work?” Neena asked. “I can hear it from work too, ya know.
The Future is now Chp 1The future is now, chapter one- Ulrich meets…Jeremy and Aelita were eating lunch together one morning, about a month after they had all shut down the super computer, the others would join them shortly. After a few minutes, the conversation lagged. There was just nothing to talk about nowadays. When the bell rung, they all filled out of the cafeteria still saying nothing, then out of nowhere, Jim came cutting across the court yard chasing a girl about Yumi’s age. Everyone ran after him, wondering what was happening. “Stop! Thief!” Jim huffed, stumbling to a stop. Ulrich came up to him. “Jim, what’d she s
The Aftermath chp 1“Ju…just ga, go.” Were the last words our fearless leader said to us before he… before. Tears were streaming down her face as we left him lying there, dying. People think I’m a little oblivious because I don’t speak, but in truth, I notice things about people and my environment that no one else does. Except maybe her. I held her close as we walked down corridor after corridor, trying to find someway to escape. Tears rolled down my face as well, he had been our leader, our friend. As I was saying, I notice things… like the fact that
the Aftermath chp 2As I lay there, pain rushing to every nerve ending in my body, I watched them go. It was better this way, I kept telling myself. Better for who?! The pain was… I can’t even describe it, and I brought it on myself. Being so pig-headed, so stubborn, why didn’t I just listen to them when I had the chance!? I am so stupid! I should’ve just… What was that? I struggled to turn my head in the direction of a scuffling sound. She was just standing there, looking horrified. She knelt near me. “Who, who did this to you?” I couldn’t speak, I could hardly breath. I just lay there, loosing consciousness a
The Aftermath chp 3I woke up in a bright, almost glowing place. All the pain I had previously been experiencing gone. I touched my chest, nothing, nothing to show my previous injuries. Not a trace. I looked around at the white nothingness that surrounded me. I couldn’t see anything. “Hello?!” I yelled. “Hello!” “Thank you.” I turned to see nothing. “Thank you for giving them something to believe in.” I turned again, still, nothing. Then, I was certain where I was. The spirit world. I was dead. Dead. It finally happened. After hundreds of near misses and plenty of times I SHOULD’VE died, I was r
The Aftermath chp 4Suddenly, there were others too, hundreds of them, all thanking me for giving their children, nephews, nieces, something to believe in. “Thank you for making my son a leader.” I knew who this man was as soon as he spoke, Sneers’ father, I had made him the leader of the Freedom Fighters when Smellerbee, Longshot, and I left. “Jet, Jet.” I was whirled around by an elderly woman, I knew who she was, she reminded me too much of Smellerbee. “When you get back down there”, She pointed down at her feet, my eyes widened, back? What’d she mean when I got back? Back where? “You tell my little Cecilia
A Bigger Bang Chp 1“Wake up! This is an intervention!” Teresa Rodriquez grabbed her friend’s blanket and pulled. The dark-haired boy spun on the mattress once before falling out of bed with a thud. A lot of things run trough your head when you fall out of bed in the middle of the night, and a lot more when one of your best friends made you fall. But the only thing running through Scott Kyun’s mind when he fell out of bed on that fateful night was‘I hope they’re gonna be okay.’The ‘they’ Scott was referring to was two of their friends, Adam Evans and Otto Strong. They’d both always been trouble, but aft
A Bigger Bang Chp 2Penelope popped awake, startled. She looked around, gulping in air, sweat pouring down her neck. The white, bright room seemed to spin as she did. The African-American shook her head, trying to clear it, rubbing her head.When the room finally stopped spinning, she took in her surroundings, deducing she was in some kind of hospital, tough not Dakota Memorial.She caught herself in the mirror that hung above a sink opposite her bed and gasped. Her once black hair was now purple in color. She gazed into her own reflection, amazed. What happened last night? She thought to herself, remembering that she and Frankie had been trying to find
A Bigger Bang Chp 3Scott groaned awake, rubbing his head. The ceiling spun, something black and grey shattering its bright whiteness. When he could focus again, he found his friend starring down at him; he could read beyond her emotionless exterior to see that she was concerned about him. “Nice hair, skits.” She joked, her monotone leaving much to b desired. “Huh?” He sat up shakily, rubbing his throbbing head; he looked across from him and was astonished to find his hair had turned the same color as that strange gas that had spilled during the fight. “You okay?” Storma asked, redirecting his face towards her, prying o
A Bigger Bang Chp 4“Can you hear me?” The girl had a worried look on her face from what Ivan could make out. His vision blurred, the room spun, there was a pounding in his head. He remembered passing out in the gang riot.“Who…” He squeezed his eyes shut, his head hurt too much to talk.“You shouldn’t try and move.” A monotone voice belonging to this Goth came to his ears and he settled back down. Opening his eyes again, he found himself in a hospital room.“The others are alright.” She answered a question he hadn’t asked yet. The irl shined a light into his eye.“You hit your head pretty b

She loves crystals!” “Amy said she needed you to do it.” Aerrow stated. Amy suddenly jumps up behind Finn. “You comin!?” “Ah!” Finn jumped. “Have fun.” Pipper smirked. “You’re enjoyin this, aren’t you?” “Yes, yes I am.”Finn followed Amy to the hanger where she mounted his skimmer before he even told her which one it was. “Lucky
When it's over chp1 Her hair was all over the place and she had scars on her arms and face from the explosion. There were rips in her clothing and she was covered in black soot. Kind of reminded him of Pipper, she looked a little like her too. Aerrow picked up the small girl and put her on the back of his Skimmer, Radaar screeching nervously. “Calm down, Radaar.” He rubbed his co-pilot’s ears. The Storm Hawk looked around for anyone or anything. “She might’ve gotten shot off her Skimmer.” He went back to The Condor. “How did recon… go…” Pipper rushed over to her captain as he came into t

They’d been sailing for about four months now and needed to restock. Something shed planned. The cargo bay had actually had six months of food in it, but she needed them to dock in the Terenmus Space Port, hopefully no one on the crew realized the extra portions she’d convinced B.E.N. to give them. She remembered the conversation very well-“Please, B.E.N!” Becky begged, the android crossed his mechanical arms as shook his head, his neck joint squeaking

A new journey chp2Jim Hawkins, second officer under Captain Amelia on the Legacy, had his ear pressed as hard as he could to the captain’s cabin door as she and Becky talked and still couldn’t hear anything. “Dang solid wood…” He mumbled to himself before the doorknob began to turn and he jumped out of the way. Amelia pretended she didn’t know he had been trying to listen in as she exited, followed by Becky. “Well?” Jim asked her, smiling hopefully. “She…” “Attention!” The Captain interrupted her, standing on the helms deck of the ship and shouting out to the crew. “Crew, we have a
A new journey chp3Jim led Becky down to the ship’s kitchen, where they were greeted by Morph, a small, floating ball of pink goop. “Hey Morph.” Jim laughed as the transmorph twittered around his head, shape shifting into the spacer. “Becky, this is Morph.” Jim smiled as Morph gave his friend a good licking. She laughed. “He’s so cute.” “Jimmyyyyy!” The three turned in the direction of the mass of squeaking gears and old metal that was B.E.N., Bio Electronic Navigator. “Uh oh.” Jim braced himself for a hug from the android. And he was right to do so as Ben jumped at him, wrapping all four of

It was early on the two hundred and fifty second day, a Saturday. “Kendra.” Her mother knocked on the door as she pushed it open. Her daughter was lying on her bed with her new headphones on, eyes closed, arms at her sides. “Kendra.” Jaclyn Watkins said louder. She then made a face and sat down on the bed

The young musician had barely had the energy to change into his night clothes after the night he'd had. It was morning now; again he was grateful, this time for summer vacation. He closed his eyes. "Zuko." The boy groaned at the sound of his Uncle's voice, jolting him from almost sleep. "Zuko." Iroh knocked on the door, then opened it slowly. "Yes Uncle?" Zuko was speaking more to his pillow than the old man. "Breakfast." He said a little too cheerily for his nephew's taste and stepped into the room,

Kana stated warmly before wrapping each of her grandchildren into a hug in turn."We will Gran-gran." Katara assured her."And take this."

She said, focusing on the rhythm she was improvising.Mai was sitting with her feet in a chair, absent-mindedly strumming her Gibson EDS-1275."Really?"

It hung on the wall of a small room in Iroh's basement, sharing its wall with vintage Stratocasters, up right steel guitars, custom acoustics signed by the artists, and a Monteleone. The red guitar, excluding its being custom made and the combination of woods used in its creation, was nothing special in comparison to its display mates, and Zuko wondered why it had been grouped with them. Looking around the room he could see that the instruments in his Uncle's collection were organized according to some system: acoustics with acoustics, electrics were

She said softly, glancing over at the young boy whom she'd just met standing in the corner of her deck with a large dog. He smiled at her before her gaze turned back to sixteen year old Sokka and fourteen year old Katara. The boy stood in front of her with his arms folded over his chest, as if he himself were also still contemplating going with Aang. His sister, whoever stood with her hands raised, fingers linked together, smiling, silently pleading with the old woman to allow the two of them to travel outside of the borders of

Had he and his sister, neither of which had ever been more than twenty miles outside of their population of 250 people town just eaten ice cream with a famous recording star, only to have him offer the two of them places in their band? Had that seriously just happened?"Oh come on Sokka! This is a once in a life time opportunity!" Katara grabbed her brother's arm, shaking him furiously."I know!"

Zuko ran a hand through his collar-length shaggy hair."It isn't right." The boy looked up and took the cup of tea his uncle was offering. The old man then sat down in a comfortable chair with a small groan. He watched as Zuko took a sip of the tea he hoped would calm the boy down."He's turning FNR into some corporate monster."
