HALLOWEEN HAYWIRE
PhantomJay:Happy Halloween everyone! Jay here, one of the original digidestined of another parallel digital world. I'm in Kari and TK's class and I knew Kari a long time ago. Than my family moved to America for a few years, we just barely returned to our old home here, when the digital world called us back. I have to tell you that after all the disappointment for being kicked out of the digiworld the first time it was hard to accept the fact it was just a glitch in our world. Which I believe was caused by Ottomon. The original portal to the digiworld was destroyed but somehow my sister's ingenious friend found a way to create a new portal through a TMI net hook up. And soon after that we discovered that we can be transported through it as well! Now we can all go back and fight Ottomon together and be home for dinner! Ottomon's main goal is to possess the keys of strength, imagination, confidence, skill, integrity, energy, excellence, justice and family. With them he'll have successfully taken over our world and can officially start on the next one. He's close, very close.
Jay:(Pounded on the bathroom door as he danced in place) NICKI! Come out I have to go!
Nicki:(Shouting back to him casually from the other side of the door) Hang on a minute. You can't go anywhere without me anyway.
Jay:(Pleading) I don't mean that kind of go! (Jay was dressed in a robe like shirt wrapped around his skinny body. White pants with a blaster belted around his waist. Along with an object that resembled a flashlight.)
Nicki:(Obviously not hurrying, she unlatched the door and pulled it open) How do I…(Within a split second Jay blew past her shoving her out of his way, and slammed the door behind him) Whoa. Talk about rude!
Jay:ME? You were the one hogging the bathroom!
Nicki:(Adjusting her hat on her hair) I've been working on this costume for days now. I had to make sure it worked.
Jay:(now sounding more relived) you look fine!
Nicki:(Smirked) You didn't even get a chance to look at me, flash.
Jay:(Cleared his throat) A genuine brown Indiana Jones hat, your hair braided down the back. A cream long-sleeved shirt with pockets, and a belted pouch fastened over one shoulder, a brown leather jacket, long brown slacks, hiking boots, and a bull whip fastened to one side.
Nicki:(Looking down at herself in stunned admiration) Exactly, you have really good eyes.
Jay:(Opening the bathroom door and flipping off the light he smiled deviously) Not really. You left this on the counter. (He handed her the list she'd made of her costume) But you do look good.
Nicki:(she took her pointer finger and pushed him between the eyes.) Smarty.
Jay:(Let her snatch the paper from his hands) you know usually girls take this Halloween opportunity to dress up like girls!
Nicki: (Glared at him) Ready to go young Skywalker?
Jay:Follow me Junior! (Nicki growled at him. So giggling happily he bolted down the hallway to the apartment door. Just as he reached for the knob the door bell rang. Pulling his hand away he shouted) Who goes there? (Nicki put him in a headlock)
Kids:TRICK OR TREAT!
Jay:(Struggling to get free) I'm coming! The dark side cannot keep me from my destiny of opening that door! (Nicki began to laugh so she released her grip on her brother. Jay stood on his toes and peered through the peek hold but all he could see was blackness. Quickly he whispered to his sister.) Psst, Nicki. We've got some tricks!
Nicki:(Excitement raised in her voice) Are you sure? Last time you said that we scared Kiya to death.
Jay:One mistake. But this time someone's hand is over the spy hole.
Nicki:(With a spring in her step she grabbed the super soaker from beneath the piano and aimed it at the door.) Ready…set…
Mrs. Kashido:(Entering the room and spotting her children she shouted) Nicki, stand down! (She moved Jay away from the door) I will take care of the trick-or-treaters! (Nicki and Jay tried to object but there mom wouldn't listen. As she went to the door the two took cover behind the couch. As Mr. Kashido opened the door three water balloons flew in making direct contact with her sweater. Quickly she slammed the door shut and turned to her children. They listened to the laughter fade down the hallway.) Don't you two have somewhere to be?
(Mrs. Kashido spoke un-amused and slightly embarrassed. Without a word Nicki nodded taking Jay by the arm, she drug him out the door, closing it behind them. Mrs. Kashido had only a moment to release a sigh of frustration when Nicki poked her head back in.)
Nicki:The hot fudge bombs are in the microwave, there's a Mac and cheese launcher by the super soakers in the piano…Good Luck! (Nicki quickly closed the door but almost immediately Jay opened it again.)
Jay:Please don't use all the hot fudge bombs. I need a few for Davis and Gary later! (With that the door closed for it's final time and the two were gone. Mrs. Kashido heaved another sigh and rung out her sweater. A grim spread across her face and she headed for the kitchen.)
(Nicki and Jay jumped into the elevator and hit floor number one. And Jay like he often does crouched down in the corner.)
Nicki:What are you doing Skywalker?
Jay:(Smiled and scratched his head) Well it's complicated you see…I'm…sitting. Are we meeting everyone at the party? Or do we get to pick people up on the way? (Suddenly the elevator slowed to a stop.)
Nicki:(Smiled as the doors opened) We get to pick up two people! (Kari and Tai entered the elevator) Hey Kari, Tai? Now that is…not you! (She laughed)
Tai:Don't I look…
Jay:(Scoffed) OLD! (Kari giggled with him)
Tai:Thanks but I was shooting for genius!
Nicki:Really? (Nicki covered her mouth to try and keep from laughing too hard) The whitish gray hair kind of makes you look old.
Kari:(Jumping in on the fun) I thought it was the fake wrinkles.
Jay:So Einstein? Who or what are you?
Tai:(Grinning like a fool) Exactly!
Jay:Exactly what?
Kari:(Decided to clarify for her brother) He's Einstein,
Nicki:Ah, old and deceased. What are you Kari?
Jay:(Blurting out) Yeah, you're stunning! (realizing how he'd just sounded he immediately bit his lip)
Kari:(Giggled) Thank you young Skywalker. I'm Guinevere, doesn't it look great. (She spun in circles modeling her outfit.)
Nicki:(Smiling while eyeing her brother) Gorgeous!
Kari:(she smirked) Of course you like it Nicki. You and Era picked it out.
Nicki:(Inhaled to show her pride) Well what can I say, I have great taste! (Tai started to laugh) What you laughing at old man?
Tai:Great Taste? Then why are you dressed like a funny hick? (Jay went straight faced and grabbed Kari by the arm, pulling her to the back of the elevator. Kari stopped laughing when Nicki released the whip from her side.)
Nicki:(Glaring at Tai) Say that again... (She taunted gripping the handle and allowing the whip to drop to the ground. Tai immediately stopped laughing and starred at the whip. But soon a slight grin returned.)
Tai:You wouldn't dare,
Nicki:Wouldn't I? (She smiled as if she wanted Tai to squirm and he was. DING the elevator doors opened)
Jay:(Shouting) Run TAI! (Startled Tai turned and bolted through the door and down the front lobby toward the street and Nicki wasn't far behind)
Kari:(not the least worried for her brother) what do you think she'll do when she catches him?
Jay:If she catches him…
Kari:(Corrected him) No, WHEN! She catches him.
Jay:(Laughed) She'll tie him up and string him up a tree. (Jay bowed to the young queen) After you Guinevere.
Kari:(Blushing as she accepted his gesture and exited the elevator) Thank you, young Jedi.
(Five blocks down and up four floors, Era and Luke were just headed out the door. Or to be politically correct, Luke was ready and Era was taking her sweet little time to be beautiful.)
Luke:(Shouting from the kitchen) Era! Hurry up we have to go!
Era:(from somewhere in the back) The party doesn't start for a half hour!
Luke:But how long is it going to take you to walking that thing? (he reached across the counter for a bowl full of candy, his mom slapped his had away)
Mrs. Romana:You'll eat plenty of junk at the party tonight.
Luke(rubbing his hand) If Era doesn't hurry up all the food will be gone by the time we get there.
Era:(Entering the room) Ready! How do I look? (She spun around making her dress twirl)
Luke:(replied unenthusiastically not looking away from the bowl of candy) Like an overly dressed baboon. (A hot pad flew across the kitchen and hit Luke in the head) Mom!
Mrs. Romana:You look great honey.
Mr. Romana:(Entering the kitchen) Of course my Desert Princess looks beautiful! (Eyeing his son who was dressed in his basketball clothes) And she is the one that obviously has the imagination out the two.
Era:(Giggling at her father) Mom can I have a milky way?
Mrs. Romana:Sure dear. (Luke's mouth dropped open in shock and he was about to protest, when the doorbell rang.
Mr. Romana:Our first Trick-or-Treaters!
Era:Can I give out the candy?
Luke:NO! (He grabbed her by the arm and dragging her to the door. Era called out to her mom and dad, and screamed at Luke as he pulled open the door) See you later MOM, DAD! (He pushed there way through the ghosts and witches that stood outside their door. Era continued to kick and scream behind him. Until he finally threw her in the elevator
Era:(pulling her wrist free and rubbing it gently) I hate you!
Luke:(smiling) I know! (than just before the doors closed Era smirked and kicked him in the back of the knee that held all of his weight. Luke's legs gave out and he ended up on the floor. With Era smiling above him.
(Izzy walked down the sidewalk alone, it was slowly growing dark as the sun was setting behind all the large apartment buildings. He walked tall in his Black Tuxedo and watched everything out of the corner of his eye. Familiar shouting and laughing came from around the corner. Curiously he decided to investigate.)
Tai:(Just a figure in a tree, shouting angrily) Nicki, Let me down!
Nicki:(Grinning on the ground looking up at him) What do you say? (She held tight to a rope that hung out of the tree)
Tai:(Pleading) Come on Nicki, Someone might see!
Nicki:Not until you say it!
Izzy:(Laughing he stepped out into the street and walked up to the two) Hey Nicki! and Tai?
Tai:Yea, Yea! (He tried to hide but considering the circumstances he couldn't really move)
Izzy:(asking innocently) What are you doing in the tree?
Nicki:(Still grinning) I'll let him down as soon as he says . . .
Tai:Not on your life!
Izzy:(Laughing) What's wrong, Poor little Einstein's stuck in a tree and can't get out!
Tai:(Shouting gleefully) Hey you knew who I was! He knew who I was! Thank you!
Izzy:Einstein's the only old guy that's completely opposite from your personality. So it was the only logical costume.
Nicki:(eyeing Izzy's dressy attire) and what are you?
Izzy:(reaching into his pocket and rustled a wrapper) I'm getting Tai out of the tree!
Nicki:(Gasping in joy) A Chocolate S'more Rice Crispy! You don't find those very often around here! (Izzy slowly pulled it out of his pocket and Nicki let go of the whip. Which sent Tai falling directly to the ground)
Tai:(Rubbing his head) OW! Couldn't you have found a better way to do that? (Nicki munched on the snack as Izzy picked Tai and the whip up off the ground)
Izzy:I guess I could have, but I figured I'd enjoy it that way better. (turning to Nicki) Here's your whip Indiana.
Nicki:(took her whip from Izzy and she fastened it back to her belt) So, (she began talking with her mouth full) Who are you supposed to be?
Tai:(Fixing his own flattened hair) The deal was something completely against your personality!
Nicki:(laughing smugly) You sure did a good job at choosing yours Tai.
Izzy:(Smiled while adjusting his coat) The names Bond, James Bond! (Nicki smirked and Tai burst out laughing)
Nicki:Good job! I like it!
Izzy:I thought you would! You two headed to the party? (Nicki and Tai nodded) May I accompany you?"
Nicki:Oh Wait! (she suddenly remembered something) I completely forgot, I have to pass by Matt's!
Tai:Okay, I can wait to see what mister popularity dressed up as!
Nicki:Oh me two. He's over at TK's
Ding Dong
TK:(He shouted running to the door) I'll get it! (He stopped and peeked through the eyehole in the door and gasped at the sight) Nicki! (He whispered snatching the gun from around his shoulder. He pressed his back up against the wall and reached for the doorknob. Slowly he turned the doorknob and let the door swing open)
Tai:(Jokingly) OOOOHHH an invisible butler, I'm scared.
TK:(without warning he jumped out from his hiding spot and pointed his machine gun at Tai. All three jumped back startled) Don't move! You are now all hostages in this war.
Izzy:(excited) What war?
TK:(Dropping his gun to his side) The war between, Matt and TK, I can't get him to dress up.
Nicki:He won't dress up? (Then with a huge mischievous smile she spoke in a loud voice) No not Matt he knows I won't dance with the only dead beat that didn't dress up at a Halloween PARTY!
(Tai spotted Matt in the other room; Nicki's comment obviously caught him off guard. He looked at Tai with a pleading look. Tai sighed and ran down the hallway into another room)
Matt:What do I do? The band decided not to dress up.
Tai:(He began searching the room) So… you do… (Finally he spotted a laundry basket in the corner of the room) This! (Reaching into the basket he pulled out a sheet and flung it over Matt)
Matt:(Whining) It's still wet!
Tai:(correcting him) That's Damp! Now will your mom care if there are holes in the sheet?
Matt:Probably, why? Did you find one?
Tai:Yep! (As he created two eyeholes in the sheet and adjusting it to fit Matt's face) I found two! Would you like one to breath or is the oxygen supply okay in there
Matt:(Growling) Get out! (He shoved Tai into the door. Laughing Tai opened it and Matt followed him out)
Nicki:(Grinning at Tai) Oh Matt so you did dress up. Tai, took his place between Izzy and TK with a look of pure satisfaction)
Izzy:A Ghost? Good thinking Mr. Einstein.
TK:(To Tai) Try not to let your costume go to your head.
Tai:(Scratching his head) I'll try not to, but I can't be blamed for all the weird little side effects this hair dye and gel may be doing to my brain.
TK:(Leading the way out the door.) Thanks for the forewarning. I think it's time to go! (Matt grabbed his guitar and they left the empty apartment)
