"But this is so boring!" Pepper complained for what seemed like the billionth time. Tony groaned, hitting his head on his computer keyboard. "I mean," Pepper got up from her spot in the chair next to him so she could pace around the room, "Are you just going to sit here for the nest hour and a half, waiting for it to download?!"

Rhodey sighed. "Ok, Pepper. What do you want to do?" The red head smiled, triumphantly crossing her arms. Tony rolled his eyes, wishing Rhodey hadn't asked. Now, she would go onto one of her infamous rants about the endless possibilities the three of them could do on a Wednesday night.

"There are a lot of things we could do! We could go on Ironman patrol, get a pizza, invite Gene over, or ma- OOH! We could have a party! Or maybe-" Tony ran a hand through his unruly ebony hair, his face twisting into an annoyed expression.

"Hey Rhodey; how long do you think Pepper can go with, well, not being Pepper? I give it a week." The only female in the lab raised an eyebrow, stopping her listing. "Er… what?" Rhodey leaned back in his seat, a thinking expression evident on his face.

"Is that a bet, Stark?" Pepper looked back and forth between the two boys. "What are you talking about?!"

Tony smirked. "I think it is, Rhodes." Pepper sat back down in her rolling chair next to the two boys. "What the heck!" Rhodey and Tony finally looked over at the girl, who, truth be told, was pissed beyond belief. She didn't want to sound like attention-needy Whitney, but she did not like being ignored

"Basically," Tony started, "We just formed a bet off of one statement. For terms of the bet, I'm saying Pepper has to go at least a week being anything but Pepper. I don't think she can make it… how about you?" The genius said, motioning towards the slightly taller boy.

"Nah, I think Pepper can go longer. Wait, no, that depends; what exactly does Pepper have to do?"

"Yeah, what exactly do I have to do?!" the hazel eyed girl asked loudly. They just made a bet about her while she was in the room. She didn't really understand the concept of the male brain, but usually when they made bets, weren't they supposed to, I don't know, do it behind her back?

"Well for one; stop talking all the time. Another one; no bubbly persona all the time. Anything to add, Rhodey?" The other boy made a humming sound, rubbing his chin in thumb and index finger.

"She's got to act like Whitney." Pepper nearly fell out of her seat.

"WHAT?!" Tony laughed. "Man, I'm definitely gonna win now! Yeah, she has to act and dress like Whitney for a whole week. Are we on?" Tony asked, sticking his hand out to his legal brother.

"Don't I get any say in this?!" Pepper asked in an anger tone. Tony pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "Nope. You heard the conditions, Pepper. You have to act like Whitney for a whole week; if you can't, I win. If you can, Rhodey wins."

Rhodey smirked. "Winner does the others homework for two weeks?" Tony lightly laughed, sticking his hand out one more time to shake Rhodey's.

"Sounds good." Pepper couldn't help but laugh at the two boys. "Tony, what, you don't have faith in me?" The brunette looked over at her before laughing again. "Nope." Pepper covered her mouth in mock surprise. "Well then! Be prepared to do Rhodey's homework for two weeks then, Stark, because I'm soooo capable of this. Whitney has no brain, so if she can do it, so can I! I mean, the wardrobe might be hard, but the personality will be easy to impersonate because she doesn't even have one! I just have to walk around all day acting like a blonde bimbo and strut to every cla-"

Tony smirked while Rhodey groaned, covering his face in his hands. "Pepper, you're talking too much. This is going to be the easiest bet ever…" Tony mused.


"She hasn't even showed up for school yet, man! She already chickened out! And it's not even day one!" Tony said while leaning against Rhodey's locker at the beginning of school. The bell was going to ring in about five minutes, and then after the second bell five minutes after that, they would head to their first class. Kids were still arriving, but since Pepper's dad was an FBI agent, he usually had to be at work early, so he would drop Pepper off at school at least twenty minutes before the first bell. Here they were, five minutes before the first bell, and she was yet to show.

"I don't know. Pepper doesn't seem the type to give up on a challenge that easily…" Rhodey said while taking a book out from his locker. Suddenly, the school doors swung open and Happy let out a low wolf whistle, causing every head in the hallway to look at what Happy was whistling over.

Pepper walked in through the doors wearing a rather short pleated jean miniskirt that went to about mid thigh. She was wearing a low cut, long sleeved V neck that was similar in attire to Whitney's well known red one. Only difference; it was pink, and a white lace camisole could be seen from just under it. Her hair was as she would wear it everyday; down. However, she did have one clip in it that had brown rhinestones on it that matched with her brown rhinestone stud earrings. Her signature converse were replaced by three and a half inch brown pumps; one hand was gripping a Louis Vuitton Cherry Blossom Papillon Brown Handbag (Google it :P) while the other was casually flipping her hair over one shoulder.

Tony, along with all the other guys in the school, gawked as the red haired beauty made her way through the sea of students, all of them clearing a path for her to get to her locker. After Pepper had her little 'moment', she strut over to her locker, opening it to drop her handbag inside and grab her needed text/notebooks.

Tony watched as what seemed like an endless number of guys walked up to Pepper, surrounding her with their suggestive smiled and lust-filled eyes. Pepper laughed at one of the jokes one of the guys told her, her usual high pitch laugh erupting from her lips. She could have laughed the exact same way yesterday, but by the way she threw her head back like it was the most hysterical thing ever and playfully touch the guy's arm as she did so made her seem so…

Tony couldn't quite place the word on it. Rhodey said she did this when she was with Tony and Gene, it was like showing someone you like them… a display of affection…. Oh, what was the word? Tony mentally ran a list of all possible words in his head, his genius brain at work. "Look at her, flirting with all those guys. She sure seems to like the attention." Rhodey remarked, watching as they offered to do things like carry her books and walk her to class.

"Flirting! That's the word!" Tony said as he snapped his fingers in recognition. Rhodey rolled his eyes. "You're such a nerd, dude! I guess you really wouldn't care if you had to do all my homework for two whole weeks, which, by the way, will happen. Look at her; she looks thoroughly entertained."

All the females in the hall looked at Pepper in such envy and jealousy, all of them wishing they could be in her spot right now. Tony thought he even saw Whitney look at her desperately before she snapped her head back around and stuck her nose in the air. She never really liked anyone besides herself getting attention…

"It's in the bag!" Rhodey cheered cockily while shutting his locker. Tony hadn't even heard the remark. Well, yes, he had, but he hadn't really processed it; all that was processing through his head was how he wished he could get in the Mark 01 armor and torture ever single one of the starring guys until they screamed bloody murder.

A/N Chapter one. How do you like? Some random idea I came up with. First Pepperony fic I'm going to write, and I'm not sure whether I should keep going. I need at least one review if I'm going to continue this story, because none means I'm writing this for nothing O_o wellllll not for nothing, but still. You get the point :)

When Pepper was walking into school, I imagined 'Suddenly I see' by KT Tunstall playing. I imagined the chorus playing as she walks in the school and does her little slut strut (as i call it)
