History Creator / TheUltimateSora

* ''The Best Chrismukkah Ever'': One-shot. Effectively the ultimateSora's ChristmasEpisode (published 30th November 2011). Arnold and Phoebe decide to jointly celebrate Christmas and Hannukkah. Carlos pranks Arnold. This leads to heartwarming moments, [[{{HilarityEnsues}} hilarity]] and, well... stuff sixteen-year-olds can't legally do. Shares the concept of Chrismukkah with ''FirstImpressionsOfEarth'' and contains a symbolic gift that also crops up in ''TheLifeAndTimesOfTheFantasmicFour''.
* ''FirstImpressionsOfEarth'': Eight-chapter, 56,923-word DarkerAndEdgier fic. When Arnold's eighteen, he gets his girlfriend Wanda pregnant. They marry, and their daughter Jackie is born just before they start college. Unfortunately, Wanda's love of sex and partying means that she's a poor partner and a lousy mother, and Arnold's first girlfriend Phoebe ends up helping to raise Jackie. Before Arnold and Wanda's second wedding anniversary, they divorce (relatively amicably), largely because of Wanda's infidelity and sporadic violence towards her husband. [[{{UpToEleven}} And that's just the prologue]]. Arnold marries Phoebe, and thinks that this marriage will be easier. Twenty years of joy, angst, sex and mental breakdowns ensue.

* ''PopularMechanicsForLovers'': Humorous 7-chapter fic. Tim and Arnold love Phoebe. She doesn't love them. Wanda and Keesha love Ralphie. He has a girlfriend. Dorothy Ann doesn't know who loves her. Carlos ''seems'' oblivious to everything. HilarityEnsues.

* ''TheLifeAndTimesOfTheFantasmicFour'': 9-chapter fic. The four girls, aka, 'The Fantasmic Four' keep a scrapbook chronicling their time in high school. As they enter their last year, however, keeping it up to date is only a tiny (albeit increasingly difficult) part of their lives. Relationships are tested, copious amounts of alcohol are consumed, lots of sex is had by all, SATs are taken and HilarityEnsues. However, [[{{MoodWhiplash}} said hilarity is mixed with incredible amounts of angst]].

Note: As ''FirstImpressionsOfEarth'', ''TheLifeAndTimesOfTheFantasmicFour'' amd ''PopularMechanicsForLovers'' have their own pages, this page deals with tropes that are prevalent in multiple works or only appear in the works that don't have their own pages.

* BittersweetEnding: ''FirstImpressionsOfEarth'', {{Invoked}} in ''Tell Him Tonight'' and ''PopularMechanicsForLovers''.
* CatchPhrase: Oddly, given [[{{TheMagicSchoolBus}} the source material]], this is an AvertedTrope. D.A. [[{{LampshadeHanging}} lampshades]] her childhood CatchPhrase in ''FirstImpressionsOfEarth''.

* GeniusCripple: Averted with Mikey, although this was how he was portrayed in the series. In ''PopularMechanicsForLovers'' he even needs help/tuition from Phoebe.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Phoebe]] in ''FirstImpressionsOfEarth'', [[spoiler: Arnold]] in ''TheLifeAndTimesOfTheFantismicFour''.
* HollywoodDateless: Arnold and Tim in ''PopularMechanicsForLovers'' and Arnold in the middle stages of ''TheLifeAndTimesOfTheFantasmicFour''. {{Justified}} by [[spoiler: unrequited love for Phoebe]] in both stories.

* Ship Tease: All of them, especially ''TheLifeAndTimesOfTheFantasmicFour'' and ''PopularMechanicsForLovers''.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: The gift Arnold gives Phoebe in ''The Best Chrismukkah Ever'' and ''TheLifeAndTimesOfTheFantasmicFour''.

* ShipFic: All of them.

* ShippingFic: All of them.

* CatchPhrase: Oddly, given [[{{TheMagicSchoolBus}} the source material]], this is a AvertedTrope. D.A. [[{{LampshadeHanging}} lampshades]] her childhood CatchPhrase in ''FirstImpressionsOfEarth''.

* ShipperOnDeck: Carlos in ''Tell Him Tonight'' Wanda and probably D.A. in ''That's who Phoebe Terese Was''.

* AlternativeUniverse: As explained in the description.

* ''Different Names for the Same Thing'': 6-chapter story. Phoebe has a chance to get together with the teacher who was her first crush, but her ex might want her back. Angst ensues.

* ''There is no Canada like French Canada'': One-shot. Arnold gets the keys to his parent's holiday home in Vermont, and gives them to his girlfriend Phoebe so she and the girls can go up there for a weekend. They decide to hop across the border into Canada to buy beer, but it turns out one of them is waiting for a Green Card (ItMakesSenseInContext) and has to be smuggled back across the border. HilarityEnsues. Basically one long ShoutOut to {{Frasier}} and That70sShow.

!!These are the ultimateSora's stories:

* All the fics ship Arnold and Phoebe. If Carlos and D.A. are in a relationship at the beginning of a story, they will be at the end. If they aren't together at the beginning, then (with two minor exceptions) they either will be at the end or they were at some point in the BackStory.

* All the fics ship Arnold and Phoebe. If Carlos and D.A. are in a relationship at the beginning of a story, they will be at the end. If they aren't together at the beginning, with one exception they either will be a the end or they were at some point in the BackStory.

** Phoebe has gained in confidence and generally [[spoiler: takes Arnold's virginity]]. She also tends to be the ButtMonkey of the other girls' pranks. She likes DeathCabForCutie. A lot. Despite TheOtherWiki's claim that she is German-American, the fics portray her as of mixed Irish-American/Louisiana French heritage. She generally either has ACupAngst or other characters are suggesting she should have.

* All of the stories depict Walkerville as being in Texas. This is an unusual choice, as {{Canon}} depicts the town as experiencing four seasons and having mountains followed by a desert to the east (the ''TheMagicSchoolBus'' WMG page puts forward a strong argument in favour of the Pacific Northwest). As well this, all of the stories begin between late 2003 and early 2005, when the kids are finishing High School.

** Wanda has become sex-mad, foul-mouthed and somewhat stupid, while retaining her essentially nice nature.
** Phoebe has gained in confidence and generally [[spoiler: takes Arnold's virginity]]. She also tends to be the ButtMonkey of the other girls' pranks. She likes DeathCabForCutie. A lot. Despite TheOtherWiki's claim that she is German-American, the fics portray her as of mixed Irish-American/Louisiana French heritage.

** Phoebe has gained in confidence and generally [[spoiler: takes Arnold's virginity]]. She also tends to be the ButtMonkey of the other girls' pranks. She likes DeathCabForCutie. A lot.

** Liz, the Bus and Ms Frizzle don't appear/
