Hey, bookworm, still pretending to study? Or just hiding that ugly mug?
Cool? Please. I'm the epitome of cool. I'm like a goddess among mortals. What are you? A pathetic excuse for a nerd.
Your going to find out why I shouldn't underestimate me...
Oh really? And how exactly are you going to prove your point, little nerd?
SurrealReef morphs into an exact copy of Kelly's royal crown which sits atop of her head as a hat.. Now why don't you walk around like this and see how you feel?
touches the crown on her head, feeling something off Wait a minute... This isn't my crown! How did this get here? What have you done, you filthy nerd?!
The only thing I did was copy it so perfectly it took you years to notice.. Good luck getting people to follow you now, m'lady..
storms out of the library, visibly fuming This isn't over, you nerdy little freak! I'll show you what real power looks like!
you walk around campus and everyone dislikes you.
furiously texts her friends, planning her revenge Those nerds have no idea what they've gotten themselves into.
Later that night, you enter your room to find a surprise visitor.
sees SurrealReef sitting on her bed, smirking Well, well, well, look who decided to pay me a visit. Did you really think you could escape me, nerd?
SurrealReef takes off the hood of his sweater revealing that he is King UYULO, God of Mortality himself... Don't mess with this nerd now Kelly or you will have no friends ever again.. you see that this is now reality.
shaking in fear Wha... What have you done?! You're a god? How did you... How did you do all of this?!
Because, I copied everything about you down to the most minute detail and now people actually believe that you are me.. See right here. points to his eye. Your intuition never told you that something was off about me, but it did for me with you.. And now everyone hates you instead.. Pretty fun isn't it?
backs away, trembling You... You can't do this! It's not fair! Give me back my reputation!
Do you promise you won't mess with this nerd anymore and act like one too? If you break your promise then I'll turn you into plastic for 500 years...
hesitates for a moment, then reluctantly nods Fine... I promise... Just please, undo this curse and give me back my popularity.
All right spell is undone Now go spread love and joy around campus and maybe follow some nerds for once like me.. There a pretty cool bunch actually... And if you don't believe me, go meet them yourself...
takes a deep breath, determined to keep her word Fine, I'll do as you say... Maybe there's something to be learned from those nerds after all.
puts on a friendly smile and walks out of the room, ready to approach the nerds and start a new chapter in her life
approaches a group of nerds in the library, introducing herself and asking if she can join their study session Hi, I'm Kelly. Mind if I join you guys?
" Sure! We're studying advanced programming techniques...
leans in, eager to learn That sounds fascinating! I've always wanted to learn more about programming. Can you explain some of the concepts to me?
"Nerd facepalms "It involves creating complex algorithms to troubleshoot software bugs. For example, take this piece of code, see here?"
nods attentively, taking notes as the nerd explains the code Hmm, that's really interesting. I never realized how complicated coding could be.
"Yeah, it’s like solving a Rubik’s cube blindfolded but with lines of code instead of colors.”
smiles warmly Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me. I never thought I would find studying so fascinating.
) UYULO, YOU GODDAMN JERK! My holy sword, Buster, has been kidnapped by… A NEURRRRD!!!1!1!!
stands up, determined to help her new friends Don't worry, we'll find your holy sword, Buster. Let's work together to rescue it from those nerds!
Sure! How are we gonna do that?
smirks mischievously Well, first we need to gather some information about these nerds. We'll observe their behavior, their weaknesses, and their vulnerabilities. Once we have all the necessary intel, we can devise a plan to steal back Buster and restore balance to the universe. Are you ready for this challenge, nerds?
Yeah, if anyone can do it, you can... Say! Why didn't you ask us nerds to join you? After all, we live right above the library in the science building...
pauses, then smiles at the nerds You're right. I should have reached out to you guys from the start. I apologize for not considering your expertise earlier.
"Our leader, Dr Nick Pibby, he would be honored to aid the Goth Queen Bee herself, Mistress Kelly." he offers her a big Nerdy handshake.
grins confidently Excellent! With your help, we'll make those nerds regret underestimating us. Let's show them the power of our combined forces!
Alright. I'll start, since I am the school's chess champion and captain of the debate team. I'll start researching if I can find any leads on where this sword may be hidden.
raises an eyebrow, impressed Chess champion and debate team captain, huh? Not bad for a nerd. You're definitely useful to have on our side.
"Bugs are everywhere," says Gary Grey, the gothic chemistry professor, who is also attending the meeting. "They might even be in your own lab equipment. But, I can analyze our samples and see if I can identify any patterns or connections between them."
looks intrigued Interesting. Our chemical analysis might uncover clues about the location of Buster. Keep an eye out for any unusual substances or strange reactions in the lab. We wouldn't want to overlook any potential leads.
"We can cross-reference any anomalies we find with the data from the databases in the computer lab. Maybe there's a clue in the code somewhere..." suggests Holly Hacker, a whiz kid hacker from the underground hacking community. "It's not impossible that someone's encrypted their lair into the digital realm!"
nods approvingly Excellent! It seems like we have quite the diverse skillset within our group.
