Nothing Goes as Planned
A/N Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I only own things you don't recognize
I know I'm supposed to be watching the boys and making sure they don't break anything, but this was just to fun.
"Here hold this Chunk" I said handing what looks like an expensive vase.
"Tori, why do I have to hold everything" he whined but took it anyway.
"Four, three, two, one" I said counting backward as on cue Chunk dropped the vase creating a loud crush causing everyone to yell and or jump.
Yes, I was enjoying myself in a game of hand stuff to Chunk and watch it brake. Yeah, I'm still trying to re-name it. It's kind of long and not catchy.
I began walking around looking for more stuff for Chunk to drop.
"Wow Mikey, I can't believe you something this cool in your house" said Mouth
Mikey just pushed him and made his way over to Chunk "Stop dropping things and take that pirate outfit off" he said
Chunk just ignored him and said "Mikey, this is great, all we have is old Hanukkah decorations in our attic." he said
"I don't care what you have in your attic" he said
Just then there was a big clash of thunder making me scream.
"Ok guys you saw it, let's go" I said coming up to them. I hate thunder storms.
"I agree" said Mikey
"Come on! Guys!" said Data
"What are you scared Mikey?" asked Brand
While Chunk was playing sword fight with himself.
I just sighed and stood by an old painting.
"It dusty, my hay fever's acting up, and Chunk already broke something" said Mikey
I saw Mouth from behind the painting
"Mikey, come over here and make me feel like women, come give ma a nice, wet, lickery kiss" he said threw the painting to Mikey as he leaned his head closer.
The Mouth stuck his tongue threw the hole. Realization came over Mikey's face as he pulled the painting down.
"Gotcha! Get out from there you're ruining the painting" he shouted
"Yeah Clark" I said using his real name because I knew it bothered him.
"Whatever you say Torrance Annabeth Taylor" he said
"That's it" I said about to lunge at him, but Brand grabbed me by my shoulders.
"As much as I would love to see him die, I can't let you kill anyone" he said letting me go once I calmed down.
"I wasn't gonna kill him, I was gonna politely tell him to shut up, and maybe ruin his chance of ever having kids" I said walking away.
I stood next to Chunk who was mesmerized by the the tanks full of light. It was cool.
"Is this magic?" he asked
"No, science" I said
I wouldn't admit it to anyone but I was a science nerd.
"Hey Mikey" Chunk shouted
"What?" asked a very frustrated Mikey
"What is all this neat stuff?" he asked
"The museum did some - where did you get that?" he asked
"Right there" I pointed to the corner where Chunk picked it up.
Mikey placed it back and then continued "They did a show. A retropactum" he explained
"Retrospective" Brand and I corrected him, again
I had a odd love for big confusing words.
I loved confusing Mouth and Chunk with them.
"That's what I said, don't contradict me" he told Brand. "I was right"
Then he turned back to us "It was about the history of Astoria and these are the rejects" he finished explaining.
Chunk patted him on the shoulder "Kind of like us, The Goonies"
"I'm not a reject" said Mouth
"Um ... Excuse me I'm not a reject either!" I said
"Oh please Torrance you're the biggest reject of us all" said Mouth
"You are vexatious" I said to him
"Huh?" him and Chunk asked
See it's fun using words that confuse them. It makes me feel powerful.
"Come on Chunk take that off you're gonna get me in trouble" said Mikey walking after me as I began looking around.
"What's this?" I herd him ask himself.
"What's what?" I asked turning around to see that he was holding a picture frame in his hands.
"This" he said brushing away the dust and crouched down next to him.
"Looks like a map" I said
Mikey tapped the glass the surrounded the map and thought.
"Hold on I have an idea" I said to him "Chunk, come hold this" I yelled to him.
"Ugh, Tori, why must I hold everything" he said but he took it none of the less.
"Three, two, one" Mikey and I said in unison, and just on cue Chunk dropped it shattering the glass.
"What are you doing?" came Brands voice as he ran over to us
"Hey look, Tori and Mike found a map" said Chunk
"Good I was beginning to think they were making out of there" came Mouth's voice
"Shut up!" I yelled
"Hey look, that says 1632" said Chunk "Is that year?" he asked us.
"No it's your top score on Pole Position" said Mouth as he came to stand over by us wearing an atrocious pirate outfit.
He worries me.
"Yes, it's a year, Chunk. It's a map of our coastline" Mikey said to me. By now we were all crowded around each other.
"What's all that Spanish junk right there?" asked Brand pointing at it.
I shrugged
"Mouth you said you can translate. Translate" said Mikey
"Yeah make yourself useful" I added
Mouth gave me a look "Ye intruders beware, crushing death and grief, soaked with blood of the trespassing theif" he said
"Guys this map is old news, everybody and their grandfather when our parents were our age. Haven't you ever herd of that guy? What's his name? The pirate guy" said Brand.
"One-Eyed Willy" I said
"Yeah!" said Brand
"One-Eyed Willy, yeah! The most famous pirate in his time. My dad told me all about him" said Mikey
"Dad'll do anything to put you to sleep." said Brand. Earning a chuckle from Mouth and a giggle from me.
"No! See One-Eyed Willy stole a treasure once. It was full of rubies and emeralds-" Mikey started
"And Diamonds" said Chunk
"And Diamonds. Then he loaded it onto his ship and they sailed away into the sunset. Until the British king found out about it and sent this whole armada to go after him. Then the armada, it took them a couple of weeks to catch up with Willy. Then this whole big war between the armada and Willy's ship, the Inferno. During the fireflight there were guns and canons bursting everywhere. Then Willy fled because he didn't want to stay around and get killed. Then he got into this cave then the British blew up the walls around him. He got caved in and he's been there ever since." Mikey said finishing his big dramatic monolog
"Forever?" asked Data
"Forever" Mikey confirmed
"And ever?" added Chunk
"Trapped" said Mikey
"You sound just as corny as dad does" said Brand
Mikey shook his head "My dad tells me the truth, you know what he said?"
"What?" I asked
Mikey turned his head to look me. Blue eyes met, brown. I swallowed, trying to calm the butterflies in my stomach.
"He said that One-Eyed Willy and his bunch were down there for years" he said keeping straight eye contact with me.
He swallowed "They were digging all these tunnels and caves, and setting booty traps"
"Booby Traps" Data corrected him
He broke eye contact with me to look at Data "That's what I said, setting booby traps so that anyone who tried to get in there would die. Then you know what he did? He killed all of his men."
"Why he kill all of them?" asked Chunk
"So that they wouldn't get his treasure" said Mikey
"Wait a minute" said Chunk "If he killed all his men how did the map get out?"
"One of the guys could have gotten out" I said
"You're right Tori, my dad said one of the guys must have gotten out with the map" said Mikey
"Hey Mikey, I believe you" said Chunk as he got up to walk away
"I don't believe you at all" said Mouth
"No one cares" I said not in the mood for his crap.
"What?" he asked
I was about to say something when a crash brought us out of the fight.
"What did you break now, Chunk?" Brand yelled
"Hey you guys! Look at this!" said Chunk coming back and carrying a picture frame that look like it had an old news paper in it.
"You guys ever herd of this guy? Look, Chester Copperpot, look what it says" he continued "Chester Cooperpot missing while to pursit of local legend. Reclusive scavenger claims, 'I have the key to One-Eyed Willy"
We looked at each other in awe.
"Wow do you guys realize what we could do?" Mikey asked us
"Nobody ever found nothing, Why would this map be in the attic when it could be inside some safe-deposit box, right?" asked Brand
He did have a point.
"That's right. If Chester Cooperpot didn't find it, how could we find it?" said Mouth
"But What if? You guys just what if this map can lead to One-Eyed Willy's treasure?" said Mikey
What if I kissed you right now? What would you do?
"Then we wouldn't have to leave the Goon Docks" said Mikey
I felt bad for them loosing there home. I would never now what that was like. I live on the rich side of town, next to the Perkins.
"Mike! I don't want to go on any more of your Goonie adventures" said Chunk
I've never been on one of those, they sound fun.
Just then someone rang the doorbell and all the guys ran down stairs.
I was about to follow when I realized Mikey wasn't behind me. I turned back around to see him still staring at the map.
I walked closer to him and opened my mouth to say something
He cut me off "You ready for your first Goonie adventure Torrance?" he asked looking up at me.
I shook my head "No, Not really" I said
He laughed, rolled up the map and put in in his jacket pocket.
"It will be fun, trust me" he said
He grabbed my hand, pulled me down the attic stairs and followed the rest of the boys.
