fandomhigh | Wednesday, Period Three: What was the school board thinking giving Jamie Madrox a teaching position?

When the students entered the danger shop today they would notice that it looked just like a normal classroom.

With the exception of several couches pushed up all against the walls of the room.

They would also notice a very stern looking Jamie standing in front of the classroom.

"Good morning class," Jamie said with a scowl. "Did anyone remember your assignment last week? Did you?"

He shook his head and threw his hands up in the air in disgust. "Not one of you completed your assignment. Not one of you introduced yourself falsely. How do I know? It wasn't on the news. And if the squirrels didn't see it? It didn't happen."

He then made a "tsk-tsk" sound. "You kids give me no choice. As of now? You are all failing my class."

That ought to give the A-Type personalities in class a kick in the gut.

"If you want to pass this course? You better be prepared to do what I say. Your assignment today is to learn how to Duplicate. Yep. Like me. How does that work? Using kinetic energy as the key, the danger shop will then create duplicates of yourself to interact with. Like me they will show various aspects of your personality at the time of your creation. Your assignment is then to convince your duplicates to work together to do this simple task..."

He gave his students a big grin.

"Build the ultimate pillow fort from these couch cushions. Sound simple? Well start smacking yourselves and see how easy it is."

Jamie started to turn before he remembered one important thing.

"Oh! One more important thing. No matter how tempting it is, don't make out with yourself. It'll just lead to social awkwardness later on."

...

"Not that I know anything about that. Let's get to work!"

"So are these bite marks," Karla hissed, gaggling her duplicate with something akin to relief.

"I bloody well hate this assignment."

"I used to wonder what it'd be like to be a twin," Ben replied. "Not anymore."

Not that his dad and Aunt Leia ever fought like this...

"I never wanted siblings," Karla declared. "So I don't see why I have to be punished, too."

"Not ever?" Ben said, looking a little surprised. "Really?"

Karla shook her head. "I had Morton and besides," she dropped her eyes; "I barely got to see my parents as it was. I didn't want to share their attention with someone else."

"I just thought it'd be nice to have someone who stayed around," Ben said, "and wasn't a droid." He shrugged. "I grew out of it."

The dupes were whacking at each other with the pillows and he sighed. "I could've sworn I was more mature than this."

"I'm pretty sure I'm not as..." she waved her hand at her duplicate "...as
this."

There weren't enough words

"STOP UNBUTTONING YOUR SHIRT!"

The duplicate merrily flipped her off.

"She sure is friendly," Ben said a little wryly.

"That's not the word I was looking for," Karla growled. "Mother Night--look at how short her skirt is!"
