Well, here I am, writing my second Sky High story. I ventured over to the Twilight section for a little while, but I found myself missing Warren too much. I am, however, still working on one of my Twilight stories, and that story comes first. Updates for this might not happen as often as I would like, but I promise to finish this story. This is completely different from my first Sky High story. I hope everyone likes it though. I won't beg for reviews, but please let me know what you think.

Disclaimer: I don't own Sky High, or any of it's characters. In the beginning of this story when Roxanne is talking about her powers, I credit what she says to the band Tenacious D. What she says are lyrics to the song Wonder Boy and I don't own that either.

As I stepped off the bus to the first day of my last year of high school, I realized this was going to be the very best year of my life. I walked through the crowds of old friends, new freshman, and some of the most powerful supers the world has ever known. As I did this, I thought to myself, "Roxanne Parker, life can't get any better than this."

"Hey Roxanne!" I heard someone call. I tossed a wave over my shoulder. I didn't even bother to stop to talk. I would be stopped multiple times on my way to class. Everyone wanted to have a chance to talk to me. I was The Roxanne Parker. The girl who was pretty much perfect. The one that every girl wanted to be. The one that every guy wanted to date. I wasn't even eighteen and I was already as close to perfection as one could be before technically being considered an adult.

Did I mention how I went to a school for supers? I go to Sky High. The best known school for all super hero's children to attend. Oh, and my powers! They are amazing. What powers you ask? I dunno how about the power of flight? That do anything for ya? That's levitation, holmes. How about the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away...with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, people. How about the power to move you? It's such a sight to watch me use my powers. It brings grown men to tears. I'm also super strong and pretty much invincible. Do I need to repeat how perfect I am again? No, I think you all get it. I've never lost a game of save the citizen and I don't even need a partner to help me. A sidekick? None is needed. I can handle myself without some weak person standing next to me, messing everything up.

Yep, this year was going to be perfect! I was the class president and I pretty much ruled the school. Everyone had gathered into the gym and I was about to give a welcome back speech, when everyone started cheering my name. They just loved me so much.

"Roxanne! Roxanne! Roxanne! Roxanne!" Yep, life couldn't get better than this.

Beep beep beep

Except for that annoying beeping. It was getting in the way of the cheering. "Roxanne! Roxanne! Roxanne!" I could still hear it in my ears.

Beep beep beep

I felt a cold nose rubbing against my face and knew my dog, Berko, was in my room, trying to wake me up. I rolled over in bed, and turned off that annoying beeping sound. My alarm clock. I rolled back over onto my stomach, and shoved my head under my pillow. I was tempted to let out a scream. I was in no mood to be getting up. It seems I had been having another dream. No, not just a dream. A nightmare. A reminder of how lame my real life really was. As I was fully coming back from dream land, reality hit me like a ton of bricks. I was reminded about my true powers. What reminded me. My dog sitting on top of my bed barking. Only, I didn't hear barking. I heard "Feed me, feed me." Yep, that's right. I can talk to animals. I'm a real life Eliza Thornberry, without the pet chimpanzee. Cool power, right? Wrong! See, you would think talking to animals would make me a hero. But no. I can't control them, I can just talk to them. Thus, I am a sidekick. Animals never do what you tell them, they aren't really that smart. Most of the time if I start talking to any given wild animal, they run away screaming. It isn't every day they have one of the "big, hairless, creatures" talking to them.

Back to that nightmare, where I was the most popular girl in school, try I'm really one of the least known girls in school. Being a sidekick, oh, I mean hero support, I don't get noticed a lot. It's not too bad though. I have my other hero support friends and after last year with the whole "Royal Pain" incident, us sidekicks aren't picked on as much. Well, mostly the freshman, now sophomore, sidekicks, who had helped saved the school weren't picked on as much. The rest of us are still easy targets to the heroes for all their oh so wonderful jokes. Aside from all that though, I do have a pretty good feeling about this year. I'm a senior, I get paired up with a hero, and we have mostly out of classroom work to do. This meaning, they are going to put us in real life situations to see if my hero, is really hero material, and to see if I'm really sidekick material.

"Roxanne! Get up! I want to eat!" Berko said, nudging my arm with his nose.

"Berko, can you let me at least get dressed first?"

"How long will that take? I'm really hungry this morning. Like more so than I normally am. I don't think I can last."

"You are so annoying," said Jasper, entering the room. He's my cat and he isn't very fond of dogs. Actually, he just isn't very fond of Berko. The husky puppy can be rather annoying at times. "Roxanne, I also am hungry. I however, am able to wait long enough for you to finish your morning routine."

"You know," said Berko. "Suddenly, I'm feeling in the mood for cat!" Then the cat ran, the dog followed, and I could hear crashing coming from the living room. That was quickly followed by my mother screaming for me to get out of bed. Letting out a heavy sigh, I reached over and grabbed my glasses. I placed them on my face, climbed out of bed, and went to see what mess I would be cleaning up before getting ready for school. The only question that was running through my mind was, "Is it summer yet?"

………………………………....................................

"Roxanne, You don't have to put on the red light. Those days are over. You don't have to sell your body to the night," sang my fellow sidekick friend, Manny. Why he felt the need to sing that stupid song is beyond me. In fact, most people found it so funny when they found out my name was Roxanne. They would start singing me the Police song, thinking they were the first person to come up with the joke. If I got a dollar for every time someone sang that stupid song, I would be rich. It's not even like the song has anything to do with me. It's about a hooker, and me, being a virgin, am the farthest thing from a hooker.

"Thanks for that Manny. It was delightful to hear that song so early in the morning," I said. Note the sarcasm.

"Just thought I would sing it as a welcome back to school present."

"Leave her alone Manny," said, my best friend Becca. She had been trying to tune Manny out, but I guess that wasn't working so well.

"I was just joking Becca. No need to get your panties in a twist."

"Leave my panties out of this, and go mingle with your other friends."

"Very well my dear, but I know that all this nasty attitude of yours is due to the fact that you secretly want to have a sexy party with me."

"Manny, I think it would be best if you walked away now before Becca decides to kill you," I said, laughing at the look of anger that was on Becca's face.

"What is she going to do? Make a rope out of her hair and hang me?" Manny asked, with a laugh, as he walked toward another group of sidekicks. Becca has a rather strange power. She has like super powered keratin or something. This meaning she can make her hair and nails grow as long and as fast as she likes. I don't really understand it at all. It is funny to see her one day walk into school with hair down to her butt, and then the next day she has it to her ears. Plus, she always has perfect looking nails, which makes me jealous. My nails are always breaking.

"I can't stand Manny," Becca said, once he was out of earshot.

"You love him and you know it."

"Sshh, don't say that too loud. I don't want the whole school to know my deep, dark, secret."

"Why don't you just tell him?" I asked.

"Because, he's such a player. I don't want him as a boyfriend."

"Whatever you say Becca."

"Hey, why are we talking about this when there are more exciting things to talk about?"

"Like what?"

"Like what hero we are going to be paired up with for the year."

"How is that exciting? I just know I'm going to get some extremely rude hero, who thinks he or she doesn't need a sidekick."

"Or, you could get paired up with someone who is wicked hot!" Thankfully, the bell rang and I didn't have to hear anymore of her stupid talk. The two of us ran to the gym, where we were going to be told who our hero was. I just really, really, hoped he wasn't someone I couldn't get along with. All I needed was to pass this year, and then I could go on to the real world. No more hero, sidekick crap. I just wanted to be with normal people, in a normal setting, working at a normal job. Well, first I was going to have to go to college. I just can't start working as a veterinarian, even if I will be able to help animals better than a normal vet can.

I was brought out of my thinking, when Principal Powers walked into the gym.

"I'd like to welcome you all back to Sky High, for you senior year. Let's make this the best year ever," she said. A bunch of the hero students started cheering. Becca let out a happy shout of her own. I just rolled my eyes. "Now a bunch of you are probably just waiting for me to announce who you are paired with for the year. First let me go over a couple of the rules." A collective sigh was heard throughout the room.

"Everyone is paired up alphabetically. There is no switching, so don't even try it. This first week is about getting to know your partner. That is your only homework this week. Learn what your partner likes, what they don't like. Remember, your partner is not just your partner, but your new friend. Don't think this assignment isn't important. Next, even though you won't have a mandatory class everyday, you are all expected to show up for homeroom, to check in and show your progress. After this assembly, you are to head to your homeroom, where packets will be given to everyone. You will find a list of assignments and important information in it. Read everything. Last, even though this is very important, please remember to have fun."

Principal Powers then started announcing everyone's partners. My last name was Parker, so I had a ways to wait. I wasn't really sure who I would get for a hero. I didn't know a lot of their names. I tended to stay away from the heroes. They stayed away from me, they didn't pick on me, that's how I liked it.

"Jonathan Mathews, you're with Becca Martin," Principal Powers said.

"Oh, man, that sucks," I whispered to Becca.

"What? No way. He's dreamy."

"Dreamy? He's a total creeper." I looked over at the guy who was now Becca's partner. He had his eyes set on her, and what looked like a predatory smile on his face. His eyes then flashed at me, once he noticed I was staring at him. His eyes narrowed and I was glared at. I quickly adverted my eyes, and a blush came to my face.

"Eh, let's just wait and see who you get." So we waited, and waited, and waited some more. It seemed like it was taking forever. Like Principal Powers was taking her dear, sweet, time to get to my name. When she finally announced my partner, I thought I was going to die of a heart attack.

"Warren Peace, you're with Roxanna Parker." I don't swear. Like really, I'm one of those girls that just don't really do it, but all that was running through my head at that very moment was, fuck my life. I had just been paired with the schools meanest, rebellious, bad boy. There was no way I was going to pass school this year.
