We Are So Dead!
This is the summer just after the battle with MaloMyotismon. All of them are fifteen.
"Bored! Bored! Bored! And more bored! Is there nothing to do in life except getting bored!"
"Whoa Meems! What do you want to do now? We went on a double date with Tai and Sora last night and since the morning till now we have been to the beach, the park, the lake, watched a movie and God knows where else and you are still bored." Matt said.
"Yes! I don't know why but somehow ever since the school has closed I am a little too bored." Mimi said pacing round and round Matt's room.
The doorbell rang then. Matt lazily pushed himself off his bed. "Aw come on we will find something to do." He said as he kissed Mimi on the lips and walked off to see who was at the door.
It was around four in the evening, so it was definitely not his father. All he hoped was that whoever it was would provide entertainment to Mimi. A moaning girlfriend is something he did not like to deal with.
Mimi fell down on Matt's bed. She liked to do something at every hour and today she was feeling very jumpy indeed. She just wanted something to do. It was a good thing Matt was free that day or else she would actually have gone crazy. Matt somehow seemed to soothe her down.
She heard voices downstairs and then Matt entered the room followed by Tai and Sora.
"You are not the only one bored." Matt said and sat down on a chair. Sora sat next to Mimi on the bed and Tai flopped down on the floor rug.
"I feel like I don't know what I'll do if nothing exciting happens in life." Sora said.
"It still seems weird after the Digital World is safe. When it wasn't we were going crazy then, now that ti is we are still going crazy!" Tai said.
"Well now that all of us are here. Let's do something for God's sake!" Mimi said.
"WHAT! That is the question. What do we do?" Tai said.
"Let's play truth and dare." Matt said.
"Bored of it. We have been doing that since the past week every day."
"So did you want to play Tag Tai?"
Tai just glared at him.
"Pillow Fight!" Mimi said.
All of them stared at her as if she was an alien from Mars. "What?" She said.
"Um….Pillow fight Meems?" Matt said.
'I don't think Matt's pillows are soft enough." Sora said to refuse politely.
"Yeah! Yeah! That's it. I don't have pillows." Matt said. Whoa! Mimi still gave him enough shocks.
"Hoax calls." Tai said.
"Huh…" Matt said.
"Come on! Don't act as if you don't know what I mean." Tai replied.
"I like it. It is a good idea." Mimi said.
"But…. I don't know. It could be well…risky. You know how strict people are becoming regarding all this." Sora said.
"Aw don't worry so much Sor." Tai said.
"Yeah!" Matt said all of a sudden seeming to love the idea. "Everyone knows that many people do such things and if you call only once nobody will react."
"But….." Sora said.
"Forget the buts Sora! Come on nothing will happen." Tai said.
"Yeah! Come on we will use the landline." Matt said rushing out of the room followed by Mimi. Tai was just about to leave too when he saw Sora hesitating slightly.
"What happened Sora?"
"Um…..nothing. I am just not feeling comfortable doing this. "
"Chill Sora! You really worry a lot. Come here." He pulled her close to himself and kissed her.
"OK I will try not to get tensed." Sora said after they broke apart.
"Are you two planning to get here today?" Matt shouted from downstairs
"Yeah! Chill dude we're coming." Tai said and he pulled Sora down with him.
They all gathered around the phone.
"Okay I will go first." Tai said.
'Why should you go first?" Matt said.
"Because it was my idea." Tai said rolling his eyes at Matt.
"Yeah yeah whatever." Matt said.
Tai dialed a random number.
"Hello. Dogs and Cats! How may I help you?" A young girl seemingly not more than eighteen years of age said.
"Is she calling us dogs and cats?" Tai whispered.
"It is a pet store idiot." Mimi said.
"Oh!" Then in a louder voice he said. "Um….This is the Chief Superintendent of Police. Miss we have found that the dog food you are selling contains poison. There have been complaints lodged against you."
"WHAT" The woman seemed highly shocked.
The four around the phone were struggling to hold back their laughter. Tai caught his laughter in his throat and carried on.
"Yes."
"But I have a license for it and it comes sealed from the company."
"Well other stores do not have the same problem."
"So what must I do?"
"You do nothing. Now whatever has to be done we'll do." Tai said very grimly and his face had also become very grim and that was making the others want to laugh more badly. Mimi had tears in her eyes from struggling to prevent her laughter. Sora had stuffed her handkerchief in her mouth. Matt was gripping the table very tightly to get a grip on himself.
"Sir, what do you mean?"
"Be ready within minutes our cops will raid your store!" Tai said and cut off the phone.
They all burst out laughing and laughed hysterically for five minutes.
"Oh God! That girl was so worried!" Matt said.
"I feel sorry for her. Poor thing." Sora said.
'Trust you to do that!" Mimi said. "OK It is my turn."
This time the phone was picked up by middle aged man. "Hello who is this?"
Mimi made up a shrill type of voice and said in an angry tone "Your mother."
"Mom? Where are you?" The man said.
"At the airport."
"Are you coming here?"
Mimi looked at the others. They all nodded indicating her to say yes.
"Um…Yes son."
"When does your flight leave?"
"In an hour."
"So you will reach here in about two hours I think."
"Yes! Be sure to pick me up!" Mimi said cutting the phone. "Whoa! I thought he seems so old his mother would be dead or something and I would pretend to be her ghost!"
"But I wonder what that guy is going to do at the airport!" Matt said.
That set everyone off laughing again.
"OK. My turn!" Sora said and grabbed the phone. She was fully enjoying herself now and forgotten all about her worries.
"Yo!" This time it was some sixteen or seventeen year old guy.
"Hey babe!" Sora said causing Tai's mouth to open so wide it might as well have touched the floor.
"Aw..hey sweetie." Now Tai looked mad.
"Let's meet up! I like your voice." Sora said and kissed Tai's cheek and to the guy on the phone it seemed as if the kiss was meant for him. Tai still had a pout on his face.
"Aw that's cute. Meet me at 10:00 at the club near the lake. You know that?"
"Yeah! See ya!"
"Bye chick!"
"Wow! How often must this guy just go and meet random girls who call him?" Matt said amused.
"I am still upset!" Tai said.
"Aw…That's so sweet!" Mimi said.
Sora leaned forward and kissed Tai's lips. Tai kissed back. "You are the only one for me!"
"Okay you guys can get romantic later on. It is my turn now."
Matt grabbed the phone. It was someone in their twenties it appeared.
"Your life is in danger…" Matt said.
"My life! How?"
"Yes….. As soon as you go out in the road there will be a traffic signal."
"Yeah! Yeah!"
"Well then it will turn red!" Matt said.
"Yes Yes!"
"Then all the cars will stop."
"Yeah!"
"Then look to your left and then to your right and then to the left again and cross the road!" Matt said. "You will be safe."
Everyone was turning red from controlling their laughter.
"But I know that!"
"You know! Very good! You see safety can be maintained only by awareness!" Matt said. "Goodbye. Be safe!"
Everyone was in hysterics again. "Man! That was awesome!" Tai said between laughs and tears.
"OK Now a last one collective group call!" Matt said.
'Yay!"
And well this was THE call.
"Hello…" A man's voice said on the other end. It was a weird sort of voice. Somewhat hoarse.
"Your son is in danger." Tai said.
"Why?"
They were all taken aback for a moment. This was not what they had been expecting.
"Could it be he doesn't have a son?" Matt whispered.
"Let's play on. We can't be sure." Sora said. Then said to the man. "We have kidnapped him."
"We want a thousand dollars in return." Mimi said.
"Thousand dollars?" The man said.
"Yes! Or else…. Well you know what will happen."
There was no response. They frowned. Matt cut the phone. Nobody laughed this time.
"That was unusual don't you think?" Mimi said.
"Maybe he really didn't have a son and realized we were hoax calling." Tai said.
"I hope it is so. It is making me very scared." Sora said.
Just then their phone rang. They all turned to look at it.
It was the same number….
They swallowed hard. Nobody dared to pick it up at first. Finally with a trembling hand Matt clicked on the speaker button.
"H…hello."
"Johnny!"
"Sorry?"
"This is Johnny. The area's goon. You will kidnap in my area huh?"
There was dead silence. There was just one expression on every face. Shit what have we done!
Finally the bearer of courage brought out all the courage in him and said "Sir, we are really sorry but we are just a group of teenagers and we played a prank. We have not kidnapped anybody."
"SHUT UP" They all exhaled loudly at his booming voice. "Now thousand dollars you pay me if you value your lives…..or else…" He cut the phone.
They all looked at each other with the dead tone of the phone. What the hell had they gotten themselves into?
This will be a 3 chapter story most probably. I will try to add a little more romance. Do tell me what you think of it. It does help when you come after a whole day of studying and see a couple of reviews!
