Chapter Text
“No one’s gonna miss one cheerleader~”
“I would.” Benny frowned as Erica ran to the cheer sign up table.
“Isn’t that like letting Magneto into the X-Men?” Ethan frowned as Sarah looked at him confused.
“That must be geek speak for a fox in the hen house?”
Benny shrugged as Ethan was equally confused. Ignoring them Sarah continued. “If you have any suggestions I'm all ears.”
“You could join them?” Ethan smiled sheepishly, as Benny nodded enthusiastically.
~~~~
So you wanna join the squad? We have extra outfits in the back.” An indifferent gym teacher said pointing to the back of the locker room.
Sarah rolled her eyes, she’d change in the bathroom.
~~~
“Kawabunga,” Benny grinned, checking her out . Sarah rolled her eyes as she glanced at Ethan who looked her in the eyes, at least he was a gentleman, she’d give him a chance. But only one.
“You look…peppy?” Ethan smiled.
“Someone needs to keep an eye on Erica before she ‘samples’ one of them and I'm the only one able to fit the outfit.” Sarah sighed this better work. “C’mon. Girls, let's see whatcha got.” The head cheerleader said, there was no going back.
~~~
“S-sorry” Ethan mumbled as Erica bumped him, sometimes Ethan wondered if she did it on purpose. , After getting that weird vision that always left him with a slight headache. Benny suggested they get 'up close and personal.' Ethan rolled his eyes. Why couldn't they just keep watch from the bleachers? He didn't want to be labeled : "the guy who's weird and broke into the girls locker room, but Benny dragged him along anyways.
"Plan 2! We dress up as girls and join the squad!"
"That's the dumbest idea ever."Ethan pinched the bridge of his nose as Benny pulled out identical cheer outfits.
"I already got us outfits!"
"Benny- No. When do we start?"
"Tomorrow!" Benny grinned "we could try today…but it would have to be fast.
"Nope. Tomorrow. I'm not wearing some stupid wig and makeup, it's gotta be convincing."
"Okay Mr. Know-it-all, I'll look up illusion spells tonight and we can meet up as girls first thing tomorrow.
~~~
Ethan groaned, dressing up as a girl was harder than he thought. He didn't need to really dress up in a wig did he?
"Can I ask for some advice?" He asked in Jane's doorway who stared at him confused and a little scared. "Why?"
"I'm joining the cheer squad as a girl."
"Boys can be cheer-"
"Sarah can't know it's me."
"Oh…well. I always wanted a sister, let me help." Jane grinned as she dragged Ethan into her room before shutting the door behind her.
"So first, nails. Let's paint them, or we could get them done. No, those are expensive…Oh! Fake nails. You could try those too, they're cute yet affordable. Well that's what teenscenez says. But you could do your hair… we can't get a wig they'll know right away. Oh you could say you're growing it out that's why it's shaggy…clips to make you look cute…hmm tight shirts aren't in. But small shirts like crop tops used to be, just use one of mine and say it's vintage. Use your pants though baggy jeans used to be in. You don't need a bra either. Some girls are flat chested if you wore a bra and put tissues in it, girls would totally know."
"...being a girl is hard." Ethan frowned as Jane put butterfly clips in his hair.
"Tell me about it. Now we'll just paint your nails. What color?"
"Blue?"
"Okay. Now use mom's deodorant throughout the day to smell un…boy like." Jane said, grabbing the blue nail polish and shaking it.
"Why are you doing that?" Ethan asked confused as he held out his hands
"You know… I don't know…" Jane said before her and Ethan started laughing. Oh the things her brother got into.
~~~
"What are you wearing?" Ethan frowned as Benny posed.
"I'm a girl."
"You look like a guy's idea of a girl."
"Well I look better than you, what are you?"
"An actual girl. Jane helped me. These cheerleader outfits are tight." Ethan complained
"We got tryouts in 5 , let's go already!"
"Benny this isn't going to wor-"
"Well hello there foxy lady." A voice behind them. Rory smiled at ethan as Benny introduced them as Betty and-
"Veronica?" Was all Ethan could think of as Rory smiled at him.
"Veronica it's way easier than angel from heaven don't you think" Rory grinned as Ethan laughed oh that was so bad it was good.
"Hehe I made you laugh, that's something right?" Rory beamed as Benny frowned, not liking being ignored.
"Well I'll see you around Veronica and…"
"Betty." Benny frowned as Rory nodded.
"Betty yeah."
Ethan let out a breath "Betty this might actually work."
