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!"

Failing? Um, what? She didn't think that assignment was serious!

At the mention of failing, Annie let out a startled gasp.

But... She couldn't introduce herself with a fake name! She had a campaign to run! She used the light bulb as her symbol, that had to count for something!

Angelica really really didn't think this was going to work, but she obligingly tapped her arm. Nothing happened, so she tapped harder. The third time she finally made a duplicate. Her double, unfortunately, had all of her shyness and then some, and fled behind the cushions to hide.

Angelica sighed. This was going to take awhile.

Dave wasn't even sure this class would count towards his permanent record, so he wasn't too concerned about failing it.

Because really, how can anyone hold ANY grade in this class in any regard? The grade would probably be given in zoo animals.

Kinetic energy. Right. So Annie had to smack herself and make duplicates appear. Not insane at all.

The problem was that hitting herself didn't really do anything because she didn't do it nearly hard enough. And then trying to fall into the wall didn't work for the same reason. So she basically had to progressively smack herself into it before any doubles even showed up. Then when they did...

Well, let's just say three Annies doing anything was just a horrible, horrible, bad idea.

Dave didn't even believe he'd be able to duplicate himself until he saw other people in the class doing it. So while he started off lightly knocking on his desk, he eventually really started pounding the desk with his fist until finally a couple dupes appeared.

One didn't see the point of building a fort, so he ended up trying to take a nap on the cushions. The other was incredulous that they had to do something like this and wouldn't stop making fun of Dave for it.

So this was going well.

"Great!" lied the real Annie.

"It's crooked," said the second Annie.

"Well, it was fine until you had to go around messing up what I did?" said the third Annie.

"Well, if you had done it right, I wouldn't have to 'mess it up'," said the second Annie, complete with air quotes.

"It was right! See, I drew up plans!"

"Well my plans were better!"

"It'll be done in a jiffy," said the real Annie weakly.

Cara was a fan of ignoring the crazy teacher. Admittedly that left her with nothing to do during the lecture.

Cara was not hitting herself. She'd be more than happy to hit other people though. She was helpful like that.

Claudia decided that as a TA, she was immune to failing. Especially as she came in with a large box loaded down with:
  • One sousaphone, marked "property of Bayside High School"
  • 18 quarts of bargain brand 30 weight motor oil
  • One pound of pastel purple M&Ms with "we love you, Conrad" written on them
  • One green peanut M&M that had been left out in the sun for a week and thus faded to chartreuse
  • The number for Tyra Banks' lawyer
  • and one red apple
Hey, for all she knew, he actually had a plan for that stuff.
