"You're welcome Feather Brain." Said Spike. "Anything for a good friend." "You wont be saying that for long." She whispered. "What's that?" "Oh, nothing!" "Okay. (Why? Why did they have to lose this time?)" Spike thought. "Spike, get down!" Then Feather Brain jumped and pushed Spike behind a bush! "Eep!" Spike went as he fell over. *Thud!* Spike the opened his eyes, to see his face oh so close to Feather Brain's face. Then Feather Brain looked the other way. "Be more careful Spike, we're not even supposed to be in this part of town! The students at this school will beat us to death." "Remind me, why are we risking our lives in the bad part of town?" Whispered Spike. "I told you, we're here to expose the truth of Fightclubberson Valley High's Principle Cheap Mage." She explained. "How is it that such a glistening and clean man is living in a rundown city, and is untouched by the crime & violence." "That's a good point Feather Brain, he's come with his football team a few times before & he's just as fancy as the parent of a Crystal Prep student." "Yup, and we're gonna find the truth behind that. Now follow me." "Okay." "By the way, how come no-one else from the school press is here?" "They're too scared to do this! They said they don't want to get stabbed." "Of course." They circled the building of the school to find any air vents. "Hey, over here!" Spike quietly called. "Alright, on the count of 3, one, two..." "Feather Brain, it's open." "Why is it left open though?" "Guess the students break in and change their grades." "That...wouldn't be far off, they do have some pretty sneaky jerks here." Then, they climbed into the vents. "Man, they really need to hire a janit...ah!" "What is it Sp..." They stared straight at the skeleton of the janitor. "Crawl faster?" "Yes!" Feather Brain agreed. "I tell yah, Principle Cheap Mage really needs to feel my fists kissing his face!" Said a student passing by the vent. "Eep! (Garble!)" "What's wrong Spike?" "Sorry, I heard the voice of somebody I feared." "Don't worry about it now, we gotta find the Principle's office." "How do you suppose we do that?" "Simple, a reliable source drew me-up a map, and with it, the principle's office should be this way." Feather Brain pointed. "I hope that this source is right." "Ugh! I can't stand it, this school seriously sucks! It's that Principle who hogs all the money to himself! I wanna ring that guy's skinny neck!" "Eep! (Gilda!)" "Rats? I better warn the lazy lunch ladies, I don't want the terribad food getting even worse." "(What the? Why is she in the bad part of town? She doesn't deserve that kind of Tartarus!)" Eventually, they made it to the Principle's office. "Looks like he's not there." "Don't worry, now we play the waiting game." The waited there for 9 minutes until the principle finally arrived. "Now, play the tape recorder." Feather Brain whispered to Spike. "*Sigh!* Another good day for the students not to know that I'm only giving them 2% of what the school is getting!" He said to himself. "I mean, I deserved this money! I am a person on par with God, I shouldn't be in this city of heathens! I should be in Crystal Prep instead of Principle Cinch!" Spike then mouthed. "Wow, what a stuck up jerk!" "I know!" Feather Brain mouthed back. "Hahaha, my funds to move out are ready, and the person they're gonna replace me with? I believe his name is Sombra? Yep, Sombra is gonna be the one to deal with all of these morons!" "No! These guys don't deserve that!" Spike shouted. "What the? Who's in there?!" Principal Cheap Mage shouted. "Let's dip!" Then Spike & Feather Brain crawled quickly. "Whoa guys, do you hear that?" "Huh, sounds like a lot of rats!" Said Garble. "Hey! We're gonna expose the truth of your greedy Principal!" "Really? Sweet!" Then Garble saw the Principal run by. "Stop him!" "Boys!" "You called boss?" "Yes, time for the 'thing' we always wanted to do!" "Really?" "You still have your wheel chair from when you had the doctor suck the fat out of your legs right?" "I sure do boss!" "Great!" Eventually, Spike and Feather Brain made it out of the vents. "Aha! I got you now! so, would you kindly erase all of what you heard? Or must I..." "Hey Cheapskate!" Garble called out! "Get rocked!" Then a slingshot fired the wheelchair containing a bag of rocks on the seat! "What in the?" Cheap Mage then dodged. "Ha! You missed your only chance to..." That's when Clump kicked him in the balls! "Gah! My...little ones!" Then Spike & Feather Brain took a bus back to their school. "Yes! We did it!" "That was a close one!" Spike said. "I couldn't have done it without you." Then Feather Brain hugged Spike. "(Phew, at least this one isn't kissing me.)" Then they made it back to school. "See yah Spike, I'll be going to the club room so I can get this paper published." "Alright, I'll see you later, I'm heading home." "What?" "It's Saturday, you know that right?" "Oh..." "Yeah, I'll see you Monday." "Wait, before you go, I wanna reward you for joining me on a life threatening adventure." "(No!) Oh, don't worry about it, it was my pleas..." Too late, the lips were on his cheek already. "(Dang it!)" "See you Monday!" Then she sped off into the building because for some reason schools always leave their front door unlocked. "This better stop, I gotta find some time to tell them to please stop kissing me!"
