Calvin and Hobbes: The new Kid

Our story starts in that nameless little town we all know and love. It was Calvin's first day back to school and he wasn't too happy about it.

"NO!!" he yelled as he ran around his home to escape his mom.

Hobbes however was sitting on Calvin's bed reading the newest edition of Captain Napalm Comics.

"CALVIN!! You're gonna be late for school!" his mom yelled after him. "NO! Miss Wormwood enjoys making us suffer through her boring classes!"

"This is her vacation week remember. You brought a note home." Calvin instantly grew a smile big enough to put even the joker to shame.

He stopped in his tracks making his mom, she had tried to tackle him, fly straight over his head.

Luckily she landed on the couch and wasn't seriously hurt.

Calvin was doing a victory dance to celebrate Miss Wormwood's vacation.

His mom grabbed him and Hobbes, since it was show and tell day, and threw them on the bus.

"And don't forget that susie's coming over to visit today."

Calvin was in Spaceman Spiff mode when he landed with a thump on the back bus seat.

"Hobbes old buddy, this day just got better. Sure I still have to go to school but there's no Miss Wormwood around." Calvin said excitedly.

"Oh, and what if the new teacher is even worse than Miss Wormwood." Hobbes said as if he was telling ghost stories.

This got Calvin's attention from his alter ego Tracer Bullet to Hobbes.

"You're right, we gotta stop this bus! Miss Wormwood's bad enough but an even worse teacher, the horror!" Calvin practically screamed.

"Stop this transportation ship you evil alien bus driver!" You probably think Calvin yelled that right? Wrong!

There was a kid next to him that he'd never seen before with a blue hooded jacket, black pants, shoes almost identical to Calvin's, and brown hair could be seen under his red cap. Next to him, to most people was a stuffed cheetah. While Calvin and Hobbes could see him as a cheetah who like Hobbes could stand on two legs and talk.

At the new kids comment he slapped his forehead and said,"Not again."

"You'll never make me give up the secret to my Hydro powered blaster!" he screamed.

The bus driver sighed and pulled out the new kid's file. He read over a few lines of it and put it back in the glove department. I have no idea how he avoided crashing.

He came to an abrupt stop and the kid went flying into the seat in front of him.

"You'll pay for this." he muttered as he pulled himself off of the seat in front of him.

As Hobbes saw this display there was only one thing in his mind, that this kid was another Calvin.

The rest of the bus ride was uneventful. Mostly because Calvin was so shocked with the kid next to him's actions that he didn't try to escape the bus, and the new kid was working with his watch for some reason.

They were let off the bus and walked into the school.

They were in class for five minutes before the substitute showed up.

He was wearing a lab coat, a toupe', black boots, looked to be in his early twenties, and wore glasses.

"Hello class." he said in a somewhat Russian accent. "My name is Mister James Johnson. Okay, time to take roll."

While the guy was taking roll Calvin found out that the new kid's name was Max Matthews.

School went on basically without a hitch. Except for show and tell. The guy was actually afraid of Hobbes and Max's cheetah and cowered from them. "Keep him away." he fearfully said to each of them. But the rest of the day was pretty much a normal boring school day. It turns out that the substitute teacher was Miss Wormwood's brother. Calvin found this very suspicous but decided to let it slide.

"Hey Hobbes there goes Max."

"Hey isn't he going down the street to our neighborhood?" asked Hobbes.

"Yeah. Wait a minute. New Kid. New family. Moving into neighborhood. Hobbes I just solved our problem."

"What problem?"

"Our Susie problem."

"I didn't think you were paying attention to your mom. You didn't protest."

"I was thinking of a way out. Anyway, because mom and dad want to be civil to all new neighbors, we'll go over to Max's house instead of Susie coming over to our house. Thus escaping the grasp of a slimy girl." said an excited Calvin. He thought the day was going to go great. Little did he know how wrong he was.

A/N: Well there was the first chapter. Oh and I was wondering whether or not Max and Calvin should start out as enemies or go straight to being friends. Could you tell me in your reviews? That would be appreciated. Anyway read and review. I know it's not perfect but it was my first try at a Calvin and Hobbes fic.
