Chapter Text
After just one week into the new school year Stanley Pines had managed to get himself into trouble .Usually he kept his prankster urges to a minimum with small pranks until he got in a real big fight for at least a month, but not this time. This time he had caused enough trouble to be sent to the principal's office.
All thanks to Fiddleford McGucket.
Stanley had the displeasure of meeting Fiddleford for the first time when said guy sent him flying head-first into a hallway dumpster. Sure the nerd kept saying it was an accident and maybe Stan should’ve seen where he was running after he overslept on the first day of school, but nobody (especially a skinny nerd like him) would get away making a fool out of Stanley Pines!
In retribution Stan had just done small things like stealing Fiddlefords pens, slapping a note saying “pinch me” onto the skinny nerd back, “accidently” dumping his lunch on him or taking any excuse to shove him around.
Ford had berated him for pushing Fiddleford around and had not been happy hearing Stan's motivations for doing it (it’s just Ford's luck he got sick right before school started). Stan tried to reason but after Ford started lecturing him (using way too many fancy long words for Stan's liking), he promised he would stop teasing Fiddleford and apologize.
It was easier said than done when the next day Fiddleford had avoided Stan like the plague. Even during their shared history and math class Fiddleford simply ignored his existence. It wasn’t until lunch that Stan managed to snatch the nerd and tried to lead him away to somewhere private to apologize. Too bad that before Stan could say that Fiddleford punched him right on the nose.Turns out Fiddleford wasn’t much of a wimp that Stan thought he was. too bad their fight ended shortly as they both got sent to the principal's office.
So here Stan was, sitting next to Fiddleford while getting a big old lecture from the miserable principal Yarrow. He was a long lanky fellow with a big beak-like nose and small beady eyes. He was the fifth newest principal since Stan started at Glass Shard High School (and people had started betting how long he was going to last)
(Stan’s money was on 5 months)
“Mr Stanley Pines” Principal Yarrow loomed with a murderous look in his beady little eyes. "I assure you that I won’t let this “improved wrestling match” go unsupervised since it’s your first week back to school. As matter of fact I’ve spent all summer reading up all on students and frankly you are one hell of a-”
“Yeesh swearing in front of a kid?” Stan leaned back with a smug look “Here I thought ya teachers were supposed to be a good model to us youngsters, right”
“Don’t think I’m letting you out the hook either “Mr McGucket”-the principal sneered--Despite your poor upbringing and desire to dress up as man I had hoped you would be another genius to add to our records, clearly I was wrong!”
“Now hold on-” Fiddleford spoke -”I was simply defendin’ myself! He started it!”
“Me”!! You’re the one who punched me!” Stanley sneered back
“You were going to drag me away from the cafeteria!!
“Only because I wanted to-”
With a loud bang to the desk that sent the teenagers both to the ground in surprise, Principal Yarrow bellowed sharply-“NOW SEE HERE MR PINES! I’M NOT GOING TO LET A GOOD FOR NOTHING DISRESPECTING PUNK LIKE GET ALL FUNNY WITH ME JUST BECAUSE YOU HAD THE NERVE TO GET IN A FIGHT WITH A GIRL!”
“W-what?!”-Stan stuttered in surprise- “Who said I was hitting a lady?!”
With a deep sigh Principal Yarrow simply leaned back and spoke while adjusting his tiny glasses on his big beaky nose “You see “Mr McGucket” seems to be going through a phase where she wants to pretend being a boy and while we’re trying to be as supportive of her needs “ he leaned forward giving Stan a deadly glare “I won’t allow hooligans mistreat her, just in case.”
“In case of what?” Stan stood up with anger brewing in his gut.
“What do you think?” Principal Yarrow huffed “What kind of reputation who I get if she wanted to sue us for getting-
“You mean he” Now it was Stan's turn to send a deadly glare to the principal with the anger taking a full hold of his mind- “He’s a guy!”
“Now look here mr Pines-”
“Nah ya listen’ to me Beak-freak!” Stan shoved a finger right at Principal Yarrow's nose. “I ain’t gotta let a got for nothin’ old jerk like ya mispronouncing’ a guy's gender just because ya so obsessed with HIS BITS! IF FIDDLEFORD MCGUCKET SAYS HE’S A MAN, THEN HE’S ONE AND THERE’S NOTHIN’ YOU CAN DO TO CHANGE HIS OR MY MIND YA OLD DUSTBUNNY COLLECTING WEIRD CREEPY SON OF A”-
PANG!
Suddenly Stan was interrupted from his rant when what he considered being the beefiest and hairiest farmer he had ever seen kicked open the door with a loud pang. Said beefy farmer made his way up to them and said with a growly voice as he stared Stan down.
“Git”
Stan got the message clear as day and swiftly made his way out the office and all the way out of school. There were a few things Stan truly feared in life and that man had just made his way to Stan's list.
Better safe than sorry when it comes to giant farmers.
(And that’s the story how Stanley managed to get a full month detention during his first week in 11th grade and when Fiddleford Hadron McGucket saw there was more to Stanley that many didn’t see)
(Then they had a full fledged romance in college)
