"Hey guys," said Cat cheerily as she sat down for lunch at the group's usual table. "You'll never guess what happened last night." Then she got distracted by a ladybug that landed on her shoulder, leaving her friends in suspense.
"Go on Lil' Red," said Andre after a few moments, "Tell us the story."
"Oh right," she said, remembering the conversation she had started. "I was walking down this road with Jade and-"
"Woah, wait. I was with Beck last night, not you."
Disregarding that statement Cat continued, "So I was with Jade and two other girls I had never met before." Jade rolled her eyes, about to interrupt again. Beck took notice to this and motioned for her to relax. He then looked to Cat to carry on with her story, which she did, "I think their names were Kara and Ashley but I'm not sure. It could've been Lauren and Taylor. Anyway, we saw this building and decided to go in. Then one of the unfamiliar girls, I don't know which one, they were identical, started playing the drums. Well they weren't really drums, they were more like a bunch of cymbals set up kind of like a drum set. It must've started storming then because every time the girl hit one of the cymbals, lightning came down from the ceiling and connected with it. By it I mean the cymbal, not the ceiling. That would be weird."
"And lightning striking the cymbal is normal?" asked Tori.
"Especially since you were indoors," added Andre.
The redhead just laughed. "So after that we started playing skeeball but for some reason I threw the ball at the wall. I'm really not sure why; it must've been, like, an arm spasm or something. Hehe, spasm's a funny word. So then the wall split open right where the ball hit it and I crawled through the hole. Probably not the best thing to do, but oh well."
"Let me guess; you ended up in some kind of fun house or something?" says a bitter Jade.
"Yes! See you were there Jade. It was like a fun house and it was really colorful but the floor kept moving. There were these ripples in it that kept going up and down and up and down. I tried to walk down the hall but I fell over and landed in another room. Sikowitz was in there and he was wearing a dress. By this time I was, like, really freaked out."
"Well who wouldn't be?" asked Andre.
"I know right? I wanted to get out of there so bad so I asked Sikowitz if he knew how. He told me to go to the Rainbow Room but I didn't know where that was so I found some stairs. Now that I think about it, I'm really not sure what I was thinking here but I put this string thing on my head and…" Then Cat stopped talking and starting giggling, again.
"What's so funny?" asked Tori.
"I looked like a unicorn."
"That's great, Cat."
"So I used my unicorn horn thing to poke my head through the stairs but then I couldn't breathe so I came back up and a cat, the animal not a clone of me, was staring at me. Again, I'm not sure what I was thinking but I stuck my head through the stairs again and the next thing I knew I was lying in my bed, staring at the ceiling. Isn't that weird?"
"Um, Cat?" said Robbie.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think you could have been dreaming?"
"Oh, I guess that makes sense," said Cat, sounding a little disappointed.
"It was a very entertaining story though," said Tori, trying to make her feel better.
"It made my ears bleed," said Jade, annoyed.
"One time," said Cat, "My brother made my ear bleed with one of those ear thermometers. I had a cold and he was pretending to be a doctor. He wasn't very good at it."
