One afternoon, while the Lawndale Lions are on their bus being driven to a football game at another school, Something Peculiar Happens. The story can go in any direction, but the Lawndale Lions must work together to resolve the situation, whether they have been kidnapped by aliens, discover an old ruined mansion with a laboratory and a monster in the basement, rescue a cheerleader in distress, rescue Coach Gibson in distress, get arrested for mooning passing traffic from the bus windows, etc. Mack, Kevin, Jeffy, Joey, Jamie, Robert, and the rest have a real challenge before them. This is a great way to develop some of the background characters as well.
Stories about the football team are not common, though Crusading Saint did an excellent job with "Trophy Chasers." If anyone can think of other fanfic about the Lawndale Lions, drop a note here, and give writing a new story a try, too.
Extra Notes: As far as can be told from watching various episodes, only one other black player is on the team besides Mack. The Fashion Club appears to date many if not all of the players, per Sandi's comments in "A Tree Grows in Lawndale." Only Mack has a grade-point average above a C.
