——

Ray was in sack of peanuts looking for a three nutter. A peanut with three nuts instead of the normal two. The kids had already left for school so they couldn't help him look. "No!" He grunted throwing another peanut to the side.

Ray reached his hand in the sack and pulled out a hand full of nuts.

He crushed all of them in his fist and his eyes scanned over the nuts for a three nutter but he didn't find any.

"Dah!" Ray cried angrily and tossed them towards the lockers in anger.
The tube alarm started to blare and Mika, Miles, Chapa, Delilah and Bose came up with their backpacks on their backs.

Delilah was scolding Bose for forgetting his shoes as they walked down the tube steps. Chapa stopped walking and zapped a peanut that Ray threw.

"Hurry BB!" Delilah exclaimed pushing him over to the lockers. "We can't be late for school!"

"I'm sorry!" Bose whined, running over to his locker as everyone else sighed and turned to Ray watching him open another nut and started to count the nuts inside of it.

"One, two. Dah!"

"I'm happy to see you're up doing whatever this is..." Mika gestured to all the peanut sacks in the room.

"Never slept." Ray answered, putting his hand in a bag and searching for more peanuts. "Been up all night looking for a three-nut. Dang it!"

Mika, Miles, and Chapa looked at Delilah and she nodded confirming it was true.

"What is a three-nut?" Chapa asked curiously and Delilah looked up at her pleadingly.

"Please, don't ask."

A sack of peanuts started to move and Schwoz popped up wearing a scuba mask. "A three-nut is a peanut with three nuts in its shell, instead of the normal two. It's very rare. Some say it has magical powers." He explained before disappearing in the sack.

"I saw a Click-Clock that said the same thing, so it has to be true." Bose smiled pointing to them with each word.

"Focus!" Mika yelled at him.

"Shoes, Bose."

"Come on, Man."

"Bro, School."

"Okay, okay." Bose says running back over to his locker. Everyone turned their attention back to Ray when he began speaking.

"-Now that we got these kids here we can get started on that really big bag."

Miles, Chapa, Delilah, and Mika leaned forward and stared at the giant sack of peanuts.

"Better start pounding power milks." Ray chuckled leaning over and grabbing another nut. "It's going to be a long day of three-nut hunting."

"Easiest no of my life." Chapa deadpanned with crossed arms.

"No, thank you." Delilah smiled and shook her head.

"We'd love to help you. But we're late for School and Bose left his shoe in his locker." Mika explained as she pointed to the boy.

Bose reached a hand in his locker and gave it a harsh tug, pulling out a rainbow colored boot.

"Found it!" He exclaimed sitting down in his school chair putting on his shoe.

"There's no school today or any day, for that matter, remember?" Ray said opening another nut. "Schwoz infested it with those fire-hornet-termites-spiders."

"Did he forget we go to regular school?" Delilah whispered to Chapa.

"Definitely." She whispered back.

The big bag Ray was talking about earlier shook and Schwoz popped up out of it. "No, bosef. Remember the bear I got? Now it's infested with fire-hornet-termites-spiders-bears." Schwoz disappeared in the sack again and Ray smiled.

"Hey, looks like you graduated!" Ray chuckled and started to throw peanuts around the kids.  "Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da."

Chapa groaned when a peanut landed in her hair, she took it out and stomped on it, giving Ray a look.

"Ray." Mika said softly but Ray didn't hear her and continued to throw peanuts. "Ray!" She said louder causing him to stop.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Miss Shapen is gonna tell their parents if they don't go to school." Delilah told her father..

"So until Schwoz fixes SWAG we gotta continue going to regular school." Chapa said.

"Who's gonna help me search for magical peanuts?" Ray whined and all of them said not me.

"Ready!" Bose called out, walking over to the team. Everyone looked down and saw Bose wearing two different pair of shoes. One was a sneaker and the other was a boot.

"Just let him." Mika sighed.

Bose smiled happily and ran to the tube. Miles turned his head and smiled at a bucket of peanuts, he bent down and picked one up.

"Hey, I found a four-nutter."

"No, Miles!" Schwoz shouted as he popped up in a different sack.

"Four-nutters are bad luck!" Ray yelled, pointing to the boy. Mika raised an eyebrow and took the nut from Miles, she tore off the fourth nut and showed it to Ray.

"Now it's a three-nutter." Mika smiled throwing it at Ray. "We gotta go, bye!" She said, heading to the tube with the others.

"Don't do anything dumb!" Delilah called out, waving. Ray glared angrily at the girl when she stuck her tongue out at him.

"Down the tube!"

——

After a long walk they got to school laughing at Bose for tripping multiple times for the height difference of his shoes. The group walked over to their lockers to get their books.

"Why are you wearing one boot and one sneaker anyway?" Mika asked glancing down at his shoes.

"Because there comfy!" Bose happily said.

"My guy, you keep falling." Chapa pinched the bridge of her nose. causing them to start arguing.

Delilah chuckled and opened her locker, grabbing her math book and closing the locker door. Turning around to watch the argument.

"Why can't you wear different shoes?!" Bose frowned.

"Because height differences." Mika tried to explain to him.

Bose gasped and smiled. "I wonder if I can be as tall as a giant if I wear more different shoes!"

Delilah made a noise while the others shared looks.

"We can argue about Bose's shoes later, let's head to class." Miles said and began walking away with the others following behind him.

They reached the classroom and headed to their seats. Bose and Miles sat beside each other and so did Chapa and Mika but Delilah sat beside a girl named Eliza who was really nice and pretty.

The two became fast friends and even exchanged numbers.

"Hey, E." Delilah smiled at the curly headed girl as she sat down and Eliza smiled brightly at her.

"Hey!"

The two girls continued talking to each other and laughing but stopped when their math teacher started the lesson. 

——

After hours of classes it was finally time for lunch at Delilah had convinced Schwoz to make her lunches because school lunch was disgusting. She was playing with the rings that were on Chapa's fingers and leaning on her while Mika had her arm rested on the table and a smile on her face as she stared at her not so secret crush Micha.

"I love regular school." She sighed dreamily getting her friends attention.

Bose turned to look at the boy and furrowed his eyebrows. "That kid's name is regular school?"

Mike ignored him and continued staring.

"This totally beats looking through bags of peanuts all day." Miles smiled as he took a apple slice off of Mika's tray.

"I love it here too! I'm remembering things my teacher says hours after he said them." Bose explained mind blown. Delilah smiled and clapped for him.

"It's called learning, my guy." Chapa replied, stabbing her hotdog bun with a fork.

"Whatever it's called it's great. There's just something about Mr.Luhan. He's really engaging." Bose grinned.

"I know!" Delilah smiled. "He's my favorite teacher."

Mr. Luhan walked into the cafeteria reading something before his eyes drifted to Bose and Delilah.

"Hey guys." Mr. Luhan smiled at them and they waved.

"Hey Mr. Luhan." They said in sync, running a hand through their hair just when Mr. Luhan did.

Miles looked at the three concerned but decided it was best to stay quiet.

"Personally, I'm kind of on the fence about this place." Chapa shrugged, stabbing her hot dog.

A basketball player walked past the table and nodded at her with a dashing smile. "Good game yesterday, De Silva."

Chapa nodded at him and turned to the others, smiling slightly. "I guess I can warm up to it."

Delilah felt a small ache in her heart at what Chapa said. One thing that worried her about starting regular school meant someone else would catch Chapa's attention, she tried not to think about it but it was not too. Gently, she slid her hand out of Chapa's and started a conversation with Miles and Bose.

Chapa frowned and stared at Delilah in confusion but she ignored the look Chapa was giving her and continued speaking.

Miles and Bose looked at each other noticing the awkward situation with the couple.

"Attention please!" A women came over the intercom and everyone looked at it. "Mika Macklin, Miles Macklin, Chapa De Silva, Delilah Manchester and Bose O'Brian, your "handsome" father is here. He said you five have to go to the butt doctor, you know to get your butts checked."

It was silent as the Danger Force kids stared wide eyed at the intercom, their cheeks flushing in embarrassment.

All of a sudden laughter filled the cafeteria.

"Time to go." Mika clapped her hands together before she grabbed her bag and ran out the room with the others hot on her tail.

As they walked down the hall they ignored the laughs and taunts from the other kids. Bose pushed opened the entrance doors and they walked outside and saw Ray smiling at them.

"Did she say that stuff about the butt doctor?" Ray snickered ignoring the glares he was given.

"Yes!" All of them snapped.

Ray clapped before his face turned serious. "Ok. Let's go."

"Wait. But my butt doctor appointment isn't until Thursday." Bose made a face and Delilah turned to Bose looking up at him.

"BB, we aren't going to a butt doctor." Delilah sighed rubbing her forehead.

"Until Thursday."

"We got a mission." Ray whispered badly. "We've got to get down to Hip Hop Purée. There's something really crazy going down."

"Like a crime?" Mika asked reaching in the back pocket of her dress to take out her gum.

"Yeah. We gotta get there A.S.A. Now."

The kids nodded and started to walk off with Ray, taking their gum out of their backpacks.

——

AWOL teleported Danger Force and Captain Man outside of Hip Hop Purée.

"Oh my, God!" Mary shouted from inside.

"It's a crime." Trent yelled.

The heroes ran into the restaurant with their fist raised, ready for a fight but they slowly lowered them when they saw Mary and Trent filming for KLVY.

"-I repeat, it's a crime that we haven't tasted this flavor sooner." Trent smiled, looking at his purée glass that has Captain Man's face on it.

"And I repeat, oh my God! It's okay." Mary smiled. The team shared confused looks while Captain Man smiled.

"My purée is gone!" Trent beamed as he looked at the camera. "So come on down to Hip Hop Purée and try some Captain Man-go." Trent paused and him and Mary moved to the side to reveal a sign of Captain Man, "for yourself."

"Captain Man...go. Ha! I just got it." Mary chuckled and Trent just smiled at her.

AWOL leaned to the side so he could whisper to his sister. "This is why Ray pulled us out of regular school?"

"I don't like being pulled out of regular school. Regulars schools fun!" Brainstorm and Jinx said together, angrily.

"Relax, it's just this purée thing. He's not going to pull us again." Volt told them.

Captain Man walked over and stood next to her. "I'm going to pull you kids again tomorrow. 'Cause they're naming a bagel after me down at Schmear Factor." He then turned to Trent and smiled. "Trent! Interview me."

"He's never gonna let us finish a single day of regular school, is he?" ShoutOut asked her friends.

"I don't think so." AWOL shook his head.

"Guess I better cancel that butt doctor appointment." Brainstorm huffed, taking out his phone.

Volt slowly turned her head to him, shocked and confused. Danger Force watched as Captain Man was interviewed and they all had bored looks on their faces.

"That's it, I'm out." Jinx gave the peace sign and walked out the door.

"I'm with her." The others said together as they followed the girl out. They all changed back into their normal clothes and decided to just go home.

——

The next day they were at school in the cafeteria again. Miles was selling sandwiches and Mika and Bose were watching. Chapa had her arm protectively around Delilah and was whispering to her as they talked.

"-Charlene, one muffuletta with extra olives." Miles smiled as he handed her the sandwich and she gave him the money she owed.

Big Bobby stepped up with his money in hand.

"Big Bobby!" Miles smiled and they dapped each other up. "One banh mi for banh you."

Big Bobby silently cheered and took the sandwich, passing the money to Miles.

Bobby looked at his sandwich and frowned, turning around to look at Miles. "Hey, my banh mi is missing the Persian cucumbers."

Miles froze and stared at him wide eyed. He turned to the others for help but they shrugged not knowing what to do.

"Uh...look!" Miles yelled pointing somewhere at a boy. "Steven Seagal!"

Everyone turned around and Miles teleported away.

"No. Dude, that's Steven Segel. He just kinda looks like Steven Seagal." Bose says.

Miles returned a few seconds later with cucumbers in his hand. "My mistake. Anyway here's your Persian cucumbers."

"Cukes!" Bobby cheered before walking away. Miles smirked and started to count the money he made.

"Where did you get Persian Cucumbers?" Chapa asked, pushing her fries down on her fork.

"Persia." Miles answered turning to Mika. "Here's the money I owe you for paying for my bamzoni driving lessons and that bamzoni I wrecked when I cracked into that other bamzoni." Miles sighed passing money to his sister.

Mika grinned and happily took the money. "You are making bank with these sandwiches." She smiled and everyone agreed.

"What can I say? Regular school has been good to me." Miles beamed.

"Enjoy it while you can, Ray's just going to pull us out." Chapa said as she picked around with her food.

"Why can't we just tell him the truth? That we like regular school better that his school." Bose says.

"The truth? My dad can't handle the truth!" Delilah whined banging her fist on the table. "Remember when we told him we liked Schwoz quiche more than his?"

"Uh, can we flash back?" Bose asked uncertain.

"Oh, we're flashing back." Chapa replied and they all turned their heads to the side.

~Flashback~

The kids stood by the back door with Schwoz watching Ray carefully. Schwoz and Ray were wearing chef outfits. They had a quiche bake off and Schwoz won.

Ray had mascara running down his face and his hand was hovering over the button to destroy the Man's Nest,

"I'll blow the Man's Nest sky high!"

The team slowly moved closer so they wouldn't startled the man and accidentally make him press the button.

"Ray, calm down." Bose advised slowly and Delilah nodded.

"We just said we liked Schwoz's quiche a little better." Mika shrugged.

"Well you can all quiche the Man's Nest goodbye!" Ray shouted angrily and went to hit the button but everyone pushed him back.

"You didn't like my quiche!" Ray sobbed dramatically and Delilah rolled her eyes.

"We lied! We lied! We lied!" Chapa repeated pulling down Ray's arms. "We like your quiche better!"

Ray stoped and looked around at everyone. "You guys-you guys mean that?"

"Yeah! This was all just a November fools joke." Mika awkwardly said and everyone agreed quickly.

Ray laughed about it and the others joined in slowly.

Miles then came out driving a bamzoni but he ended up crashing it.

~End of Flash back~

The kids shook their heads to get rid of the flashback and continued eating.

"I totally forgot about those quiches." Bose said with a sigh.

The cafeteria door opened and Ray walked out wearing a wig and a lunch lady outfit.

"Hey, did someone say something about quiches?" He asked in a lady voice, walking over to the force. "Hey kids, it's me, you're favorite lunch lady. Lunch lady Lisa."

Ray waved at everyone before turning to the force and whispering. "It's actually me your favorite superhero, I'm just wearing a disguise."

"We know it's you, Ray." Chapa rolled her eyes.

"Listen Miles. I need you to teleport me to the batting cages with Bigfoot." Ray told the yellow superhero.

"The batting cages are on the way to school. You must have passed them on the way here." Mika told Ray.

"Yeah, I actually passed them twice, 'cause first I forgot my ironclad lunch lady disguise, and I had to go back."

"Dad, drive there." Delilah exclaimed and Ray scoffed at her.

"No, Delilah. I like to make a dramatic entrance, Miles, let's go." Ray mumbled.

"I'm kinda in the middle of school here." Miles spoke and Ray let him go.

"Yeah, I can get you out." Ray then paused and looked at all the kids. "Unless you guys like being in school more than you like hanging out with me." Ray lips started to quiver. "That's not true, is it?"

The team shared looks.

"Of course not. We love you." Mika quickly said and the others joined in.

"You're the man, man." Miles patted Ray's shoulder.

"We love your quiche so much." Bose smiled and spreading his arms.

"You're awesome!" Chapa added.

"Best dad ever!"

Ray smiled before turning to Miles. "Cool. Let's go."

"But I can't teleport in front of all these people." Miles sighed and Ray waved him off.

"I already thought about that." Ray whispered before he pushed off their trays and hopped onto the table. "Hey kids, Captain Man's outside signing autographs!"

Everyone in the cafeteria cheered and ran out of the room so they could get their autographs. Once they were gone Ray hopped off the table and grabbed Miles arm.

"Okay, let's roll, Miles. Foot's waiting."

Miles groaned and teleported him and Ray to the batting cages.

"At least we're still here." Bose shrugged.

"Yeah. Better Miles than us." Mika agreed.

"I have a feeling he's going to be back for us." Chapa grumbled looking at something in her hand.

——

After school the girls were outside talking, well more like Chapa was talking. Mika was staring at Micha and Delilah was looking down at her feet, in her own world.

"And they're gonna make me captain of the basketball team, which is cool and all but you two know how Ray gets when other people get to be captains." Chapa rambled.

"Uh-huh." Mika smiled.

"That's cool." Delilah mumbled and Chapa sighed.

"You guys aren't listening, are you?" Chapa asked in annoyance and disgust.

"Not at all." Mika sighed dreamily. "I think it's time for that boy and I to take it to the next level."

"You mean-"
