A Punk Princess Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I know I said I'd have Unfabulous characters in this, but I decided against it. I might bring HM characters in though.
A/N- I had a couple mistakes in the first chap, like I kept changing from third person to first person. I've always done that. And if it was in first person, it was Sophie. Send me reviews and you get a crunchy chocolate chip cookie.
"Okay guys, let's review. Around the fire hydrant, touch the lowest tree branch, jump the rail, grind the edge of the slide and back, right?" asked Sophie, who was strapping her helmet and wrist pads.
"Yup. Cody, you go the timer?" asked Zack, who was doing a practice loop around the basketball court on his board.
"Right here. Who's going first?" asked Cody as he pulled out the timer.
"I'll go," said Sophie. Zack got ready for the countdown.
"Three! Two! One! GO!" cried Zack. Sophie sped towards the fire hydrant, pulled herself around in a circle and raced off towards the tree. She jumped from her board, hit the branch and landed swiftly on her board again. She kicked off the tree and headed straight for the rail nearest the slide. She jumped over it and landed on the slide, gliding down very fast. She then raced back to the boys.
"And… time!" yelled Cody, stopping the watch.
"Nice! 1 minute and 38 seconds. Beat that, Zachary!" said Sophie, while doing a little victory dance.
Zack raced once Sophie yelled go, but he tripped on a tree root after hitting the branch. It slowed him down only a second, but that was enough.
"Ouch Zack. 1 minute and 59 seconds. You just got beat. BAD," said Cody, giving Sophie a high-five.
"Come on, Zack! I'm wearing a SKIRT. It's not that hard to beat me," said Sophie with a giggle, "But apparently you can't!" Sophie raced off toward the hotel entrance and the boys jumped on their boards and ran after her. (A/N—I know, Cody didn't race. I didn't feel like explaining it 3 times, so we'll say he had a hurt foot or something XD)

"What color would look best on me?" asked London, looking in her mirror. She had asked Maddie to come along and help her a bit. As usually, London's mirror was insulting Maddie and complementing London.
"Well, that's a really pretty teal color, and I like those pink shoes…" said Maddie, looking at all the wonderful clothes.
"Oh pish posh, dear, nave Maddie, it was a rethorical question," replied London. (A/N—Pronounced 'Reth-orical')
"First off, it's naïve, and secondly, it's rhetorical," said Maddie, sighing and lying down on London's couch.
Meanwhile, Sophie and the boys were on the top floor, making bets on who could get down faster, Cody or Sophie. Zack made a bet on Sophie, seeing as she beat him in the skateboard race. Zack explained the rules, "You can use any door, any passage way and any hallway, as long as you don't get seen by Moseby. You can go into any room, whether it's a suite or a staff room, and you can use any means of transportation. Just keep in mind that if you ride your board, Moseby may hear you. And you have to touch every single floor, even if you just touch it with a finger. Understand?" Zack asked, motioning for them to come to starting line, right where elevators begin. Sophie was confident in herself and Cody was getting a bit nervous but he calmed himself down.
"On your marks," Cody and Sophie got their finger's right above the button, "Get set," they primed themselves to push, "Go!!" They pushed the button and the awaiting elevators opened. Cody's got to the 24th floor faster than Sophie's, so he took advantage of that. He ran towards the stairs and made a plan as he was walking down the stairs. I know, he thought, I'll walk five stairs and ride the elevator four. That way is sure to beat Sophie.
But Sophie already knew of his plan. So, as she was running out of the elevator, she ran to Cody's. She pushed the buttons so it would go down to the 23rd floor, where he was, and then it would go all the way back up. Then Sophie looked for a shortcut. Bingo! She found London's closet. (A/N- I know, London's suite is on the top floor—we'll say her closet is on the 24th.) She ran inside and was bombarded by the pink room.
"What are you doing in here? Why are you running? Are you okay?" Maddie stormed her with questions.
"Can't talk. Beating Cody. Must win. Can't afford to lose. Must… go…. Faster… Eyes… blinded… too… pink…. Good…… bye……" panted Sophie.
Okay, so Sophie liked pink; it was a nice color. This, THIS was too much. She shielded her eyes as she remembered what Zack had told her earlier. The "fire exit" leads the laundry shoot. You can ride down it--- it's so awesome. Score! She found the first 'fire door' and busted through it. Sure enough, it smelled like dirty socks. No doubt those are from the boys, she though. Oh well, it would have to do. She put her hands on either sides of the shoot and sped down it on a pillow cover. She yelled and it echoed. I guess she was up pretty high, and it went all the way to the bottom floor.
After about 45 seconds of falling, she slammed into sheets. Oh, how they have never felt better. She always rammed into something hard. Something with hair. Something BLONDE.
"CODY!"
"SOPHIE!"
Sophie scooted backwards and then leaned in to hug her knees. Cody, of course, being the klutz that he is, leaned forward as she did. Their faces were inches apart. The world stopped for them, and then…
A/N- Mwahaha! It's my first actual cliffy. I like it. I am writing another chapter, but I still want your input! From now on I want at least 2 reviews before I carry on. But I'll keep writing these 'cuz right now, I'm bored. I hope you enjoy and message me your thoughts!! Remember, crunchy cookies… smell the cookie….
