(A/N): It's been way too long since I last updated this one. I've been wanting to for quite some time, and finally got the inspiration to do so. So, hope you like it somewhat, and if not that's fine too.
(The scene opens with Girl Jordan walking away from the rest of the kids during recess outside. She opens the doors of Royal Woods Elementary school and walks inside. She continued walking until she came across the janitor's closet. The door creaked as she opened it.)
(It was very dark inside, and she could just barely make out another figure in the darkness from how the glitter of its pink dress shone, in the far end of the room.)
"Oh, Jordan, is that you?" The figure asked without turning around.
"Y-yeah, it's me. Though, why do we have to meet up in here of all places? It's all cramped and smells musky." Girl Jordan complained.
Suddenly, the figure turned on a single light bulb hanging from the ceiling, illuminating the room. The figure turned around, revealing herself to be none other than Lola Loud. The little amount of light combined with some shadows still around made her glowering glare all the more unnerving.
Terrifying as she was, though, she came here for a reason.
"Listen here, Miss Mouthy, the kind of work that I do isn't something I do out in the open. Sure, people know to come to me when they need something, but it's still gotta be done in private!" Lola growled. "I would have gone with the girls' bathroom, but there's still the risk of someone walking in on our discussion. So, the janitor's closet is the best option here, understand?!"
It wasn't often that Jordan felt intimidated by a six year old girl, but Lola sure knew how to make the hairs of her neck stand up. "Alright alright, I'm sorry. Can you please just help me out here?"
Lola's glare and scowl twisted into a wide grin that exposed her tooth gap. "My sweet darling… it's what I do! It's what I live for. To help unfortunate people like yourself!" Jordan shivered as she came over and placed a finger under her chin with a smirk. Though she was considerably shorter, she still managed to intimidate her.
"Poor souls… with no one else to turn to." Lola circled around her like a wolf getting ready to attack a little lamb.
Lola:
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a brat
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light and changed to no longer be a twat
(She takes out her lucky princess wand and starts fiddling around with it)
And I fortunately know how to thrive in a world of secrets
It's a talent that always have possessed
And here lately, please don't laugh
I've used it on behalf
Of the miserable, unlucky and obsessed!
(under her breath) Pathetic…
Poor unfortunate souls
In trouble, in need
This one longing to be thinner,
(She shows Jordan a picture of a very skinny girl clutching her stomach and a look of pain on her face)
This one wants to get the girl
(She throws away the other picture and shows her another one, this time of a boy stalking another girl that has another boy by her side from afar. She throws the photo off to the side and holds her hand with both of her own gloved ones in a shoddy attempt of reassuring her)
And do I help them?
Yes indeed!
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my lair
Crying "plans, Lola, please!"
And I help them?
Yes I do!
(She starts spinning and twirling around the room. Jordan frantically turns her head around to try not to lose sight of her. After a few seconds of that she stops and seems to cool down for a bit.)
(frowning) Now it's happened once or twice
Someone tried to scam me and get out of paying the price
And I'm afraid
I had to ruin their face with my nails…
(She splays her fingers out in front of Jordan's face and takes off the glove, revealing light pink nails curved pointy and sharp like those of a cat. She then puts the glove back on and moves her hand away)
Yes, there was this one incident
When it turned out someone's secret wasn't secured in cement
Put into his rep a sizeable dent
(She shows her a picture of Chandler in the middle of a circle with other students pointing and laughing. On his back is a sign that reads "Princess Pony lover")
But otherwise, I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls!
(Lola grabs Jordan by the collar of her shirt and pulled her down to her level)
"Now, here's the deal…" She said, no longer singing and taking on a more serious tone. "I will put together a plan that's guaranteed to get you that guy you've been pining for, in no more than three days!" She indicated with her fingers. She let go of her shirt collar and crossed her arms. "Got that?"
Girl Jordan nodded her head.
"Now notice this, this is important. After someone tried to take my services for granted and without paying up, I now have a policy where you must pay the agreed payment upfront." Lola took out a piece of paper attached as a scroll and jotted a few things down. "Just so you know, I put together all the plans and set up your opportunities. You are the one who needs to make the pieces fall into place, so he won't know about my involvement."
"That sounds fair." Jordan replied.
"I may be devious, but I do still have honor and dignity. As any princess should. So, if it doesn't work out by three days, you get your payment back. Although I've never failed before, so that probably won't happen. But! Here's the catch." She jabbed a finger at her. "I'll be keeping a close eye on you for those three days. That way, I can tell that my time isn't being wasted and in the off-chance you decide to try and fail it just for your money back…"
She did a throat-slitting gesture. Hearing a high-pitched gasp of fear made her all the more satisfied. "I take it that I made myself clear."
"Yeah, you did, definitely. Just don't hurt me!"
"That all depends on how things play out. Just don't make me cross… and they won't have to cross your name out from the list of people alive. Oh! And one last thing. The payment!"
"Yeah, you… never told me exactly how much this would cost, so I brought all the money I've been saving since the beginning of the year. It was supposed to be for all those bake sales, but I decided over the summer that I was gonna try to get in touch with you." Jordan took out a wallet full of money, some of the bills nearly spilling out.
Lola put a finger on her chin and gave a mused "Hmm… how much have you got?"
"It's around uh…" She counted it up. "It's around 20 bucks."
"Splendid! I'll take all of that right around now." The pageant princess held out her hand expectantly.
Jordan was about to hand it over, but then stopped short. "Wait, I just thought of something. Isn't this whole scheme, meddling with love and all, kinda dishonest?"
Lola groaned and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Oh please, it won't cost much. A new boyfriend, and hey, who knows, maybe even husband in the future in less than three days. For just 20 dollars! It's a pretty good deal, in my opinion. And here's a tip, free of charge."
Lola:
The boys around here don't like a whole lotta blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore
Yes around here it's much preferred
For ladies not to say a word
Or, at least, not too much
You've still gotta talk a little bit, I'm not stealing your voice!
But after all, dear
What is idle prattle for? Come on!
They're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can!
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue that gets a man!
And I'd prefer it if you held your tongue around me too
You're on thin ice already
(She wags her finger)
Come one!
You poor unfortunate soul!
(She gets all up in her face)
Go ahead!
Make your choice!
I'm a very busy girl, and I haven't got all day!
It won't cost much,
Just a few lies, and some money!
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad, but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got to pay the toll!
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll!
(She throws a pen at her client, who immediately does sign it)
The boss is on a roll!
This poor, unfortunate, SOULLLLLLLLLL!
(End.)
