1. I'LL TELL YOU ONCE MORE, BEFORE I GET OFF THE FLOOR..
DON'T BRING ME DOWN.
"She's not coming back, Joe!" Charles said, growing angry with his friend's ignorance. "She won't. I'm sorry."
"Fine! But you're the one who needs Hathaway's wife." Joe said, glaring his giant brown eyes at Charles.
"Guys, everyone was rattled by it," Preston intervened, getting daggers from both boys.
"Especially Martin. And you think he puked a lot watching that movie in biology?" Cary joked, bounding up the field that over looked the derailed train, always the comic relief the circle of friends ever so needed.
"Shuddup Cary! Jeeze." The boy said, pushing his glasses farther back onto his nose.
"Guys, just shut up, all of you. Alice is done. DONE. Got it?" Charles said with finality. It's true. The girl was so terrified she'd never return to help them, much to Joe's heart break.
"Who's gonna be Hathaway's wife?" Martin asked.
"Why not Cary?" Joe Lamb said, laughing.
"You're a pussy. I feel for the person who'd actually end up marrying Martin here. It sure as hell won't be me. And I'm already a zombie." Cary said, shoving the much taller boy.
"Go blow yourself up," Martin countered.
"Oh, good one, Smartin," Cary said, voice dripping with sarcasm. He shook his blonde hair as he laughed.
"Have Jen do it," Joe continued.
"No! Just… No."
"C'mon Charles. We need someone."
"Excuse me? Have any of you seen this dog? Her names Georgia and I can't find her anywhere," a petite girl said, interrupting the conversation. She was wearing bell bottom jeans with a simple tank top, and holding out a picture of her lost dog. She had bright red hair that cascaded down to the small of her back in perfectly natural curls.
"No, but my dog went missing too. It seems everyone's taken off," Joe said.
"Oh. Well thanks." The girl was hopping back onto her bike. She started pedaling away when Cary screamed out,
"Wait! Can you act?" The red head stopped, and turned back over her shoulder.
"I don't know. Why?"
"Cuz my friend here, no not Joe, the fat one. Yeah, he's making a movie for Super 8. And we kinda need an actress." The blond boy was the only one fearlessness enough to talk to the new pretty girl, but Charles blushed angrily at the fat comment and spat out,
"Shut up, dumbass."
"Well?" Cary continued, glancing back at the girl.
"Well, who are you guys?" She countered.
"I'm Cary, the awesome. That's Martin, the dumb; Preston, the nerd; Charles, the giant. And that—" he continued, pointing to each of his friends, "is Joe."
"And who are you? I've never seen you around before," Preston asked.
"I'm Maggie. And my parents only let me finish the year back in New Castle, Pennsylvania before we got transferred here, and school ended yesterday. So here I am," she continued, a weak smile forming on her freckled face.
Cary's eyes let up. "New Castle? The Firework Capitol? That's mint!"
"He's obsessive with blowing shit up. Anyways, here. Read these lines," Charles continued, handing her a script.
Maggie looked around nervously, making sure they were serious, before reading the lines perfectly.
"That was amazing!" Charles exclaimed. All the boys looked at her in awe, and she smirked. All the boys, except Joe.
"Joe, what do you think?" Charles asked.
"She's no Alice," he said, and looking unaccepting towards the new girl. Maggie's smirk dropped, and she crossed her arms.
"What's wrong with that kid?"
"He's just upset. He was in looooove with another girl who was going to do it."
"No I wasn't! Jeeze, Charles shut up."
"So, will you do it?" The movie director himself asked. All the boys watched Maggie, anticipating her answer.
Then, glaring straight at Joe, she lifted her one eyebrow and with that smirk of hers, said, "Of course."
I wasn't gonna dabble in the Super 8 fanfics but.. Here I am. Dabbling.
The Chapter Title is from the song, featured in the actual movie, Don't Bring Me Down by ELO (Electric Light Orchastra).
& I changed those lyrics to make the Title of the actual story, because EVERYONE uses, My Sharona, so I stuck to the movie, but did something different. HighFive!
& I loooooooove Joel Courtney, and his acting as Joe, to a point I feel no Fanfiction can describe to the full extent his amazingness. Sorry.
I don't really know if I'll continue on with this story, so if you want me to, tell me. & I will. No problemos.
I guess it will just depend if any of you think it has potential, because it's impossible to know if a story's going to be good based on the summary or the first chapter.
I do most things Newsies, spend most of my time doing them on here. & During Degrassi season, I do questionaires, but they involve the absolutle minimum creativity and writing skills. :3
