Marcus yelled as he woke up and saw he was in his room. He looked down and saw he was lying in bed with the blanket over him. 

He ran a hand through his hair and gave a sigh of relief. "Just a dream. Just a dream." Marcus got of bed and went to the bathroom. He rubbed some water on his face and looked in the mirror. Marcus dropped his jaw and was shocked at his body. He had a very distinctive six-pack and very  powerful arms. 

"What the-? How did?" Marcus flexes his arms and traces his fingers along his abs. 

"Hey, Marcus!" Stan calls. 

"Uh, y-yeah?" Marcus stammers. 

"You're gonna be late again for school if you don't hurry!" 

"HUH?!" Marcus looked at his watch and saw it was 7:50. "Be right down!" Marcus brushed his teeth and grabbed a hoodie, not caring for a shirt. He then snatched up his backpack and sprinted down the stairs past his grandfather. 

"SEE YA GRAMPS!" Marcus yells zooming out the door. Marcus raced down the stairs not bothering with the elevator. Just as he rushed out the bus then left again. "WAIT! HOLD THE BUS!" 

Marcus continued to run and suddenly felt this incredible burst of energy. Then he jumped up on top of the bus and spread his arms out like he was riding a skateboard. Marcus didn't what had gotten into him...but he sure as hell liked it! 

As the bus stopped at the school, Zack saw Marcus on top of the bus and gaped his mouth open. "Mark?! What the heck are you doing up there?!" 

Marcus saw him and saluted him with two fingers. He then jumped and backflipped off the bus, landing to next to him. "S'up man?" 

Zack was still shocked. "Why were you on top of the bus?" 

Marcus shrugged. "I don't know. Man, I feel awesome!" 

Zack just shakes his head and chuckles as they enter the school. As Marcus and Zack walk into class, Danielle sees him and notices that he's acting differently. He's more straightforward and not at all shy.

As class started, Spike, Josh, and Kade watched Marcus and Zack talking. Spike nudges Kade and takes out his straw. He blows a spitball at Marcus, making him suddenly dodge the oncoming spit attack. Marcus shook his head, wondering how he knew that was gonna happen. 

"We should eat them." A dark and ghastly voice says. 

"Huh?" Marcus looked around. 

Zack raised an eyebrow at him. "You okay, Mark?" 

"Uh, yeah man. Fine." Marcus replies.

Later at lunch, Marcus was taking a bite of his sandwich, waiting for Zack to grab his food. He looked up and saw Danielle walk down through the tables. 

Marcus suddenly felt some kind of sense come to him and immediately turned in his seat watching Danielle slip and throw her food in the air. Marcus wrapped his arm around her waist and used his other hand to catch her tray and and the rest of her food land on it. 

"Wow, nice catch." Danielle chuckles amazed. 

Marcus nods as he hands her her food. "No prob." 

Danielle tilts her head slightly. "Huh." 

"What is it?" 

"Nothing, you just seem different. It's a good different." 

Marcus smiles. "Thanks."
