After we ate, Ashley put the movie in and Kate made us sit in a circle surrounded by candles.
"Now," she said, quietly, "everybody hold hands."
Hannah and Ashley did as they were told, but being a tomboy who never puts their hair up or wears the color pink, I didn't.
"Millie," Kate said impatiently, "this will not work if you do not do as you are told."
"Fine." I grabbed Hannah's hand. Ashley gave me a smile, the creepy kind that told me that I almost got in trouble from someone who was not my mom. "SHUP!" I hissed at her.
Kate quickly grabbed the remote and paused the movie, then taking Ashley's hand again. The screen paused on the face of Mystique. "NOPE!" cried Kate, as she quickly paused it on the face of Nightcrawler. "Sorry, they're both blue."
"Da Ba Dee," said Ashley.
"Kate close her eyes. "I'm going into a trance." It was silent for a moment. Before Hannah could say something, anything, Kate started speaking some weird language. It sounded like she was trying to speak Chinese, but failing badly.
"Kate?" Hannah asked. Kate ignored her.
"Kate, this really…?" Ashley begun, before we heard a loud bang coming from the chimney.
"Santa?" asked Ashley.
I smacked upside the head. "NO, YOU DUMBO!" It's probably a bird that our neighbor shot with his shotgun."
"Bros," said Hannah, "my curiosity is getting the best of me. Imma check it out!" She slowly inched towards the fireplace. In fact, it took, like, a minute and a half for her to get there. She stuck he head in the fireplace. Nothing happened. "It's nothing," she told us. Her head just came out of the fireplace, when we saw something fall. It looked like a body. We yelled, because we don't scream, and ran into the other room.
"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!" yelled Ashley. OUR NEIGHBOR SOMEHOW KILLED A MAN AND PUT HIM IN OUR CHIMNEY!"
"Relax!" said Hannah, putting her hand on Ashley's shoulder. "I'll call 911!"
"What'r we gonna say?" I yelled at her. "'Uh, yah, hi. We were preforming a ritual while watching X2 and this body fell down our chimney. Can you send backup now?'" Hannah looked down.
"Guys," said Kate, "there is a logical way to solve this
5 minutes later….
We came out with football armor on and pillows strapped to our chests and backs. We also had our helmets on. Kate held the kitchen knife in her hand. Ashley held her special pizza cutter. Hannah held a hammer an I carried out my toy lightsaber that I had planned to bring with my when Star Wars episode 7 came out. We formed a circle of death and inched slowly towards the body.
"Maybe if we throw it in the landlords backyard, no one will notice," suggested Ashley.
"Good idea," Kate told her. "We did do that the last time."
"Or we could just burry it in the backyard like a normal person would," Hannah told us.
"Hannah, nothing like this ever happens," I told her.
"Well, whatever," she cried. "I'll go get the shovel."
"AAAAWWWW!" Ashley cried. "My idea was cooler!"
"I'll go get my gravestone making kit," Kate moaned.
"Y'know, for a dead body, he sure looks pretty blue," I said.
"Maybe he was insane," Ashley told me.
"Yah, but how did he even get down the chimney? And why isn't he wearing shoes? And why are his feet so big?" We all froze.
