JoanFK

JoanFK is the het ship between JFK and Joan of Arc from the Clone High fandom.

Season 1
ESCAPE TO BEER MOUNTAIN: A ROPE OF SAND

JFK comes over to hand Joan a beer after being dumped by Cleopatra so she can date Abe instead. The two drink the non-alcoholic beer together and JFK asks if Joan is drunk enough to sleep with him yet. She kicks him in the head and he falls over before getting back up and telling her that she didn't answer the question.

EPISODE TWO: ELECTION BLU-GALOO

When Abe begins leading the polls in the school's student body president election against JFK, he begins spending more time with Cleo. Joan is jealous and comes to JFK's house as a result. She tells him that she wants to partner with him to manage his campaign to help him beat Abe in the polls. He thinks that she's just there to sleep with him and proposes different things regarding sex. She slaps him in the face and he backs off of the subject, but agrees to have her manage his campaign. She helps him create a commercial actively trashing Abe as a person so that the students will vote for JFK instead, and he directly thanks her at the end of the commercial for her help.

HOMECOMING: A SHOT IN D'ARC

Joan dresses as a man named John D'Arc to get onto the boy's basketball team at Clone High to help Abe, the captain, beat the school's rival, GESHH. As John, JFK sees her from behind at the practice and says that his female senses are tingling. However, when he goes to talk to her, he finds that he is John, and he gets confused about his sexuality. He leaves awkwardly and Joan says nothing. Later, at the boy's locker room, Abe starts getting upset with Joan for supposedly trying to steal Cleo from Abe. Joan assures him that she's not interested in Cleo, and Abe begins arguing with her as JFK steps in to say that Abe's yelling is no way to treat a member of the team. He then says that Joan's skin is silky and thighs are milky before freaking out again and running off. At home after practice, JFK asks his gay foster dads if he can watch Will and Grace with them. They ask why, since he usually watches SportsCenter in his room. He says that he is considering "switching channels," coded language for thinking that he may be gay after being attracted to Joan as John. His fathers console him about it and they all watch the show together.

At another practice, Joan is using a weight machine and grunting and moaning. JFK hears this and is shocked. He tells the wider team that they will now share stories of sexual conquest, and he requests that Joan start. She makes up a lie that appeases the group, including JFK. Abe butts in to argue with Joan about Cleo being more interested in Joan than Abe, which ends in Principal Scudworth making Joan captain over Abe because she plays better than him. Abe walks out angrily and JFK comes up to Joan to ask her to pass him the ball more because he's "open for anything," more coded language about him potentially being gay. Joan's eyes widen as he whispers this to her.

At the official game against GESHH, Clone High is losing because Joan insists on passing the ball to Abe, who always misses. When Scudworth steps in to try to make Joan shoot the free-throws, she takes off her John D'Arc disguise to reveal her true self. JFK is somewhat relieved that he was really interested in Joan, a woman, instead of a man. He excitedly says goodbye to continuing to watch Will and Grace with his foster fathers.

CHANGES: THE BIG PROM: THE SEX ROMP: THE SEASON FINALE

Joan walks down the hall in her new made-over look, thanks to Cleo. All the boys in the hall seem attracted to her, and JFK sees her while talking to the Bronte sisters and goes up to talk to her. He proposes that the two should go to prom together because they are both good-looking. He is about to ask her to the prom when she punches him and tells him no. He then returns with a different approach, on his knees and saying that he's just a shy guy that wants to take her on a date to the prom. She punches him again, saying that she's waiting for someone special to ask her to the prom, like Abe. As she says this, she walks into Abe in the hall. She anticipates that he will ask her to the prom, but he instead tells her that he asked Cleo to the prom and she agreed, so he wants to know about women's sexual organs because Cleo wants to sleep with him on prom night. Joan is so outraged by the question that she kicks one of the lockers behind them and storms off, asking why guys only want "giggly, vapid sluts." JFK pops up in front of her as she says this, saying he heard the word "sluts" and was intrigued. Joan then looks between JFK and Abe, before doing an impression of a "giggly, vapid slut" and laughing at JFK's statement. She calls him funny and says that she's glad they're going to be going to prom together. JFK reminds her that she said no before, but Joan claims that she's just too stupid to know what no means, and that she meant that she would go with him instead. Abe watches them and sounds dejected at the idea of JFK and Joan going out together. He then snaps out of it and leaves to buy condoms for him and Cleo.

The night of the prom, Joan answers the door to see Abe there for Cleo. He tells her that she looks beautiful and JFK interrupts them, shoving Abe out of the way to talk to Joan and offer her flowers with a sexual innuendo. Joan laughs and calls JFK funny again, taking the flowers. After Toots takes pictures of the two couples, Abe and Cleo leave the house first. Joan tells Abe that she'll see him at prom as she cuddles up to JFK. Abe is sad at the look of her and JFK together as he leaves. When JFK's limo arrives to take him and Joan to the prom, Joan sees that Catherine the Great and the Bronte sisters are already in the car. She asks who they are, and JFK says that they're his other dates. She is angry, but then snaps back into her dumb character and laughs at JFK, calling him funny as she gets into the limo. At the prom, instead of dancing, JFK tries to impress Joan by punching people at the prom. Joan laughs with him and holds onto him as she sees Abe looking their way. Later though, Joan sits at a table as JFK dances with the Bronte sisters.

Joan steps out of the meat locker and takes off all of her makeover items, leaving her looking like normal. She sits on the steps outside as JFK comes out to talk to her. He sits next to her on the steps as she asks why he isn't with his other dates. He tells her that Catherine the Great is throwing up and he gave the Bronte sisters over to the Three Stooges. Joan tells JFK that she had just been using him to make Abe jealous. She hates herself for this idea, saying that she's "such a girl." JFK agrees that she's a girl, calling her "a real knock-out betty," also claiming that she's even better when she's not doing her giggly, vapid character. She's shocked, asking for confirmation that JFK likes her for her real personality. He claims that Abe isn't worth her time because he can't see her real beauty without a makeover. He jokes that Abe is a "chowderhead." After this, Joan and JFK end up sleeping together, which Abe, Cleo and Gandhi all find out when they bust into the freezer room looking for them. This room is also where Scudworth leads everyone into with his conga line, quickly running out and freezing them for the foreseeable future.

Season 2
LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN

Abe is about to confess his love for Joan when JFK interrupts the moment to say hello to Joan. He asks her if she would want to walk to class together. He mentions that the two had slept together over prom night, and that he (along with Abe and Joan) still believes it to be 2003, and more specifically, the day after prom. He then gets on one knee and asks Joan if she would like to be his girlfriend. Joan expresses uncertainty, mostly because of JFK's popularity on campus and her lack of it. She asks him if she can think about it before answering. He agrees, but is slightly thrown off, as he's never been "turned down" by a girl before. He assures himself that he doesn't mind, because it'll only feel better when she finally does agree. He then gets distracted by a drone, which he believes to be "a flying spaceship," and goes to chase it, calling out that he'll see Joan, his "soon-to-be girlfriend" later. Joan mentions to Abe that she's unsure about the relationship also because she doesn't want to jump into something solely because her and JFK had incredible sex on prom night. At lunch, Joan walks into the Inclusivity Committee section of the cafeteria to sit at the lunch table where Frida, Harriet and JFK are already sitting. JFK tells Joan that he saved a seat for her, and that he'll even hold her books for her. She thanks him, and Harriet mentions how cute the pair are together.

After Abe makes a fool of himself by trying to create his own Unity Luncheon and completely destroying his remaining credibility with the school, it splashes back to affect Joan's reputation as well. To apologize and fix things with Joan, Abe comes up with the idea of letting everyone pour hot sauce into papercuts he gives himself. The idea works, and Joan tells him that they'll always be friends. They hug, and Abe tries to ask if they could ever be more than friends. Joan interrupts him by getting distracted by JFK and running off. She tells JFK that she's given his proposal thought, and she agrees to be JFK's girlfriend. They then make out as Abe watches sadly.
