Finn's POV:
"Where are the girls?" I asked as we were waiting in the Frozen Marble.
"I'm not sure, but they need to be here soon, especially if we're going to discuss-" Philby started.
"Dude. Shut up. Don't say anything revealing. And don't make it so obvious to other people what we're talking about." Maybeck said harshly.
"Jeez, what crawled up your butt today?" Philby joked.
"Shut up. I'm not in the mood." Maybeck sighed.
"Who knew? So what's up?" I asked.
"I can't get any sleep at night because of... this, and then all day I have to work, and lately Jelly has been sending me to get bags of 50 pound clay. And she makes me get a lot." Maybeck complained.
"Well, no one can get that much sleep. I guess you're the only one that has a job, and we do get to sleep in, but can you at least lighten up? Charlie's not gonna like the attitude." I said tauntingly.
Maybeck scowled. "Whatever. She's used to it."
"Speaking of Charlie, where is she?" Philby asked, agitated.
"I don't know. I'll call them." I said.
"... Hello?" Amanda answered.
"Hey, it's me." I said.
"Oh, hey Finn. Sorry, we're a little late."
"Yeah, we can tell. Is something wrong?"
"Umm... Well... I guess you could say that..."
"What's going on?"
"Uh, nothing. Look, we'll be there in ten minutes, tops."
"Okay, well if you need something, let me know."
"Thanks, Finn. Bye."
"Bye."
"So what'd she have to say?" Maybeck asked.
"There were some problems, is all. They should be here in like ten minutes at the most." I said.
"Okay. I guess I'll try to calm down or... sleep or something till then." Maybeck yawned.
"Okay, then. So while he's sleeping, what should we do? I mean, we can't let them go any further, especially if what Wayne said was true." Philby whispered.
"Well, let's hope Jess had a vision..." I said wearily.
*Ding ding*
I looked up at the door, and saw the girls.
"Thank God." I said.
"Hey guys... Sorry we were running late." Willa said, sitting by Philby.
It's still hard to believe that of all of us, they were the ones that got together first. Amanda sat by me, leaving Charlie to sit by the still sleeping Maybeck.
"Is he okay?" Charlie asked, as she poked him.
"He didn't get much sleep and has been working all day." I said.
"Oh. Should I wake him up...?" Charlie asked.
"Uhh... If you-" I started.
Charlie squealed and jumped when Maybeck grabbed her sides, tickling her.
"Terry!" Charlie yelled.
Maybeck lifted his head, with a grin on his face and Charlie was still laughing, we all were.
"So... Any ideas on what we do? Any leads or anything? Things have been kind of slow." Charlie said.
"Well, I heard about this show, where you can see the stars align and it's supposed to be magnificent! It's the first time the stars have aligned in 70o years! We should go. I mean, if you guys want to." Willa suggested.
"Isn't that like just for couples, though?" Philby asked.
"Oh... I totally forgot. You guys could pretend to be a couple." Willa said.
"I'm cool with that." Maybeck said, as he leaned back and put his arm around Charlie. She laughed and put his arm on his stomach, We all agreed and it was decided; we were going to see the stars align.
"So when is it?" Jess asked.
"Saturday. At 5:30." Philby said.
"Okay." Amanda said. "But what about Jess? I mean it's a couple thing right?"
"Amanda. Don't forget that I like a guy that probably likes me..." Jess said, sounding embarrassed.
"Oh, right. What's his name again?" Amanda asked.
"...Dillard..." Jess said quietly.
"Dillard!?" Maybeck asked.
"Yeah..." Jess admitted.
"We can hook you up!" Maybeck laughed. Jess blushed.
"If you think so... okay." Jess agreed.
Terry's POV:
"So, are we gonna talk about what to do, or just sit here?" I asked impatiently. I wanted to put my arm back around Charlie's shoulders, but decided it was better not to.
"Well, nothing has been happening, maybe they're planning something BIG." Charlie said.
"That's actually a good thought, I mean for us. If you're right on that, then we have at least a small lead on anything that'll happen. I guess that we have to be on the lookout." Philby blabbered on and on. "Jess, did you have any... visions?"
"Uh... Yeah, actually. Here..." Jess handed us a piece of paper with a drawing of her vision. On the top, there was a picture of stars, I guessed, in a line. On the side were six figures, but not OT's.
"What was it?" Charlie asked, not understanding the picture. I didn't get it either.
"Well, I think we were at the star thing, and something happened. I'm not sure. It's fuzzy." Jess tried explaining.
"Oh well. I guess what happens, happens." Willa sighed.
"I can't remember too much, just something bad happening to two of us. Five of us are safe from harm though. It was two of the girls... Not sure who... But there was an extra guy there, I want to say it was Dillard? I don't know. We just have to be extra careful." Jess described.
"I guess so. So, there were two of the girls that weren't safe? And those are the ones in the middle of the page, below the stars?" Finn asked.
Jess nodded her head. "Yeah."
"Maybe we shouldn't go..." Amanda said cautiously.
"But, we have to. I mean don't we? If Jess had a dream about it, before she knew anything about it, then wouldn't that mean that something is bound to happen?" Charlie said.
"Charlie's right, guys. It always happens, no matter what, right?" I agreed.
"Yeah. Then I guess we're going." Finn decided. Amanda and Jess looked very nervous.
"But... The girls in the picture... We know who they are..." Amanda sighed quietly.
Willa took a deep breath and bit her lip. "Go on…" She said slowly.
"It's Charlie and Amanda..." Jess said. I cursed under my breath. Charlie looked at me in confusion.
"Why is it always me and Amanda?" Charlie cried.
"Char, you and Finn are for the most part, the main targets." I said.
"But what about Amanda? She and I are always the ones to be captured." Charlie sighed.
"Maybe you have some of the more important parts of the group." Philby said.
"Whatever the reason is, we have to deal with it. We have to go." Charlie declared.
"Not without being protected." Wayne said as he came from nowhere. Typical Wayne, helpful but not very straight forward.
"How do you always know where we are?" I asked.
"And how long have you been standing there?" Willa asked.
"Long enough to understand that Miss Turner and Miss Lockhart are truly in danger." Wayne said quickly. "We don't have that much time to talk, so listen closely. You can't prevent what will happen, but you need to rely on the books made about you, and find each other. Use all of your memory and never give up hope."
"What do you-?" I started.
"No time for questions, you'll soon understand. Learn everything you possibly can and keep believing in everything from your childhood and it will all be okay." Wayne said. He stood up and walked out the door, leaving us in silence and confusion.
Hey guys. So I'm writing this story with the help of Amandapanda7 (My good friend Aiza). I (Jana) wrote this story and we will try to switch who wrote the chapters, but I get ideas and tend to just write so I might skip a few of her chapters at the time :)
