Chapter 1: The Black Out
Narrator's POV:
The storm outside was getting pretty intense. Spencer, Carly, Sam, and Freddie were all at the Groovy Smoothie enjoying their delightfully cool and fruity drinks. Sam had already finished two smoothies and was working on her third, Spencer was using his smoothie to draw a picture on a napkin, Carly was too nervous to drink hers, and Freddie was watching Carly's nervous twitching.
"Um, Carly? You gunna be okay?" Freddie finally spoke up, "Carly? CARLY!"
"Huh?" Carly snapped out of her trance.
"You okay?" he repeated his question.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, I'm just a little- AHHHH!!" Carly screamed as a flash of lightning broke across the darkened sky. This made Spencer jump as well, messing up his masterpiece.
"Aw biscuits!" he cursed, wrapping the napkin up and throwing it away, "Come on Jumpy, lets head home." He helped Carly out of her seat and walked her to the door.
Sam and Freddie scooted out of the booth after them. Spenser stepped out the door and opened his umbrella. Carly quickly took shelter under it, clutching Spenser's shirt in fear.
The door closed behind the brother and sister, Sam reached for the handle when-
*BRRZZZT* lightning flashed across the sky. The lights in the Groovy Smoothie went out, and then a couple seconds later came back to life.
Everyone stood still in surprise for a while. Then Sam reached for the door handle and gave it a tug. When nothing came of it she tugged again, then again, then again, getting more and more spastic.
"Sam! Sam! Stop it!" Freddie pulled her away, "I think it's locked."
"No duh!" She turned her head back at him, he was still holding on to her shoulders. When he realized the moment passed when he should have let go he lightly pushed her away from himself. She stumbled forward, then turned back to glare at him a little before returning her focus on the door.
"CARLY!!" She shouted throw the glass door, "LET US OUT!"
"I'M TRYING!" Carly's muffled voice called back as she shook her side of the handle.
"Uh-oh" Freddie said, causing Sam to turn back to him.
"What?" her frustration boring into him.
"When the storm knocked out the power, I think the locks re-started on all the doors. We're going to have to find Tibo, he'll have the key."
"But where's Tibo?!?"
"RIGHT THERE!" Spencer called. Freddie and Sam turned to find Tibo outside getting into his car.
"STOP HIM!!" Sam screamed.
"TIBO!! TIBO NO!!" Carly and Spencer's cries and arm waving had no affect, Tibo had already driven off.
"Uh-oh" Freddie repeated
"WHAT?" Sam's frustration reaching a peak
"He won't be here till tomorrow morning." Sam stared at him, "We're stuck"
