Sket Dance, Anime Jump: Chapter 1

Hello everyone! This is my first Sket Dance fic so bear with me  Its set now so all of the things about Bossun and Tsubaki are out in the open etc… I wanted to make it look like Switch's voice was different since he's talking through the computer so that's why I use these --> [] instead of speech marks… Anyway, enjoy and review! \(^_^)/

Chapter One: Invention

"I spy with my little eye something beginning with… 'A'."

"'A'? Hmm… Apple?"

"Nope."

"Err… Ant?"

"Can you see any ants?!"

"'A'…'A'… Annoying jer-"

"Absence of Switch!"

Himeko clenched her fists and glared at Bossun, "I can't see that either!" She sighed and leant her head back against the back of the sofa, "Where is he anyway?"

Bossun shrugged, "Haven't seen him all day."

At that precise moment their glasses-wearing friend slid open the club room door with a triumphant sparkle in his eye. Bossun grinned widely,

"Oh, Switch, there you are!"

Himeko leaned her head further back so that she was looking at Switch upside-down, "Where've you been?"

Switch stepped over to his friends, placed a small metal disc on the table in front of them and sat on the sofa next to Himeko. He opened up the laptop that was held in place around his neck and began typing,

[I have completed my 'jumping' device \(^_^)/], the computer made a weird twinkling sound to express Switch's delight.

Bossun grinned like a cheshire cat and clapped his hands, "Oh, finally!"

"What does it do?" Himeko was looking expectantly at her red-hat-wearing friend but his face was blank,

"Why are you asking me?"

"Because you were so excited about it!" Himeko folded her arms across her chest and turned to Switch. He began typing,

[It allows us to 'jump' to other animes! Mwahahaha!]

Himeko's face paled, "What's with that scary laugh?!"

Switch ignored her and continued typing, [It will let us 'jump' to any anime we want and return safely at any time… probably]

"'Probably'?"

Bossun ignored Himeko's doubts and picked up the tiny disc; it fit into the palm of his hand nicely and weighed about the same as a tennis ball. There was something small stuck onto the back of the disc and Bossun kept seeing the flash of colour as he tossed it from palm to palm.

[CAREFUL!]

The club leader almost dropped the device and he froze, a look of horror on his face, "Why?! Will it explode?!"

Switch straightened his glasses and typed, [No. The special edition 'Hello Kitty' stickers I put on the device are very rare, I don't want you to ruin them.]

Himeko got to her feet, ready to snap Switch's laptop in half but Bossun held her back. He looked at Switch seriously, "Let's try it out."

"Wait a minute!" Himeko snatched the disc from Bossun and clasped it tightly, "What if we get stuck in another anime? Or some other place?!"

"It'll be fine," Bossun was on his feet trying to grab the disc, "Come on, I wanna go to Bleach!"

"No!" The powerful Onihime clutched the disc closer to her body and Switch was suddenly at her side. He placed one hand on her shoulder.

"Huh?" Bossun's face screwed up in confusion, "What're you doin' Switch?"

[All of this commotion has activated the device. I didn't want to be left behind.]

"Wha-?!"

A bright light filled the club room and with a loud SNAP! the Sket Dan was gone.

~ o o O o o ~

Tsubaki marched down the corridor and slammed open the door to the Sket Dan. He'd definitely heard something suspicious going on and he wasn't going to let it slide so easily. However, as he looked around the empty room, it was obvious that nobody was home. And, what with the huge smoking hole in the middle of the room, they might be away for some time.
