Chapter Text
Friday, no arguably not even Friday. The sun had yet to rise even if that wasn’t unusual so late in November, it just made getting up in the morning a lot harder. Thought Sam as she listened to Tucker explain about the hidden level he had found in Doom 2. The game had only been out for a week and Tucker had already made it his life’s mission to unlock all the hidden levels of the game.
“You know I found that hint when I started the game.” Yawned Sam leaning forwards to talk to Valeri who had been doing her best to listen. “The Masters of Time tells you in the beginning that the Lady thief hid her treasures on her home planet. They never tell you which her home planet is and you are only shown an image of her hideout. But if you look at all the planets you can travel to in our solar system you’ll find that Venus is one of them and that her hideout is marked by the symbol for both Venus and Woman.”
“But isn’t they the same thing, a circle with a cross at the bottom?” Asked Valeri honestly interested in the game if only because Tucker was trying to act cool and Sam kept showing of her greater understanding of the lore.
“It is but how am I supposed to know that, I would ask Danny if I had known it had something to do with astrology.” Answered Tucker.
“Hold it Tucker. You’re saying that you and sleeping beauty over there weren’t up all night before an early morning school trip playing videogames?” Valeri glanced over to the maroon hoodie in the opposite corner.
All of Casper Highs junior students were sitting on the two busses the school had hired for the trip. Danny, Sam, Tucker and Valeri had gotten the very back of the buss Mr. Lancer was in charge of but as soon as they had gotten out on the highway the teacher had fallen asleep and the student stopped carrying about rules or safety.
Almost before he had even sat down Danny too was asleep, slumped down in the corner, his hood pulled up only waking up when Sam elbowed him in the ribs because he wasn’t answering Mr. Lancer who checked them of on his list.
“First of it’s an massive multiplayer online role-playing game, MMORPG for short. And I didn’t know that whole symbol for femininity and Venus connection before just now.” Said Tucker exasperated having to raise his voice to be heard over the football team who were throwing their football to each other shouting loudly whenever someone missed.
“I could have told you about that place, me and Sir Lancelot raided that level last night.” Sam fished up an orange from her backpack, “You want one?” She asked Valeri fully aware that Tucker barely ate fruits.
“Yeah thanks.” Valeri accepted the fruit dodging a football as she did, Kwan shouting an apology to her when she sent back the ball. “Isn’t Sir Lancelot a medieval knight from the stories about king Arthur and the knight of the round table?”
“Yeah the player Sir Lancelot is all for the classics and is great at finding Easter eggs in Doom. I even think he could defeat me if we ever came to a showdown.” Said Sam pealing her own orange.
“And he is a massive jerk. He kept blocking my way when I tried to get throw the level last night.” Grumbled Tucker leaning back and crossing his arms.
“You should get to know him. He might actually give you a history lesson in the proses. I got an A on our last history test thanks to him.” Sam popped a slice of orange in her mouth.
Opening his mouth to talk Tucker was cut off by Dash shouting at them. “Hey nerds keep the nerd talk down will you.”
He throw the ball at them.
The school’s football star hadn’t said anything about getting beaten up by Danny and for some reason found whatever excuse he could to hit on Danny. Meaning that even if he had shouted at Tucker it was Danny he aimed for.
Her hands full Sam couldn’t stop the ball and it hit Danny square in the face making him jerk awake swearing loudly. Opening blood shot eyes Danny glared at the football for a long moment evidently considering his options before he simply tossed it to Dash and settled down once more, slouching down deeper in his seat already back asleep.
Dash ignored the less than satisfying reaction from Fenton and threw the ball to Kwan. The three friends beside Danny however stared at him in surprise. “And he just when back to sleep.” Said Valeri in disbelief.
Sam poked Danny’s face, he didn’t as much as move. “You know what this means.” She said a mischievous glint in her eyes.
“Embarrassing picture of him sleeping.” Said Tucker fishing up his phone.
“What else.” Agreed Sam fishing out her makeup kit.
“Oh that’s evil. Here use my things to.” Said Valeri handing over her own makeup.
“How much makeup dose a girl need?” Asked Tucker changing place with Valeri.
“This is just the basic supplies needed, you should see how much Paulina puts on every day.” Answerd Valerie holding Sam’s open kit for her as she starts drawing on Danny’s face.
