Chapter 4
Ok let's start at the beginning of my parents short.
I was in Toby's bathroom trying to look absolutely perfect.
My back boxed beeped it was a text from Cole ' you coming tonight?'
' yes' I texted
' can't wait' he texted back
I smiled to myself and fixed my hair. I was wearing a dress that went to my knees the top was white the belt was pink and then the skirt part was black.
" come on Belinda lets go" yelled my mom
" coming!" I yelled back
~~~~~~Black House~~~~~~~~
I slide out of the car
"Lindy you go on ahead" said my dad
I nodded and walked to the front door I rang the door bell
"Hello and you are?" asked Mr. Black
"I'm Lindy Thompson" I told him
"oh yes and where are your parents?" he asked
"Still in the car,they'r coming" I told him
He nodded an let me in.
"My kids should be down soon" he said.
I walked in and I saw a lot of my mom and dad co workers. They used to take me to they'r work.
I was standing by the stair case when I herd someone behind me say "hello stranger" they said
I turned around to see Cole standing behind me "hello" I said and then I turned back around
"you look pretty tonight" he told me
"you don't look to bad yourself" I said
Just then Helvetica came down the stairs wearing a black dress with both her arms in braces
"You look stupid" Cole told her
"So do you" she said back
Just then Mr. Black came over "what did I tell you two that's not how you treat people. Curtisy, consideration, respect. You know it. Now do it" he said then walked off
"yes dad" Cole and Helvetica said in unison
"So Belinda is you brother here" asked Helvetica. She said my name like it was so nasty word.
"No" I told her in questioning voice
"Good" she said forcefully
I just shook my head and rolled my eyes at her.
I looked towards the door wondering were my mom and dad were.
"you wanna dance?" asked Cole out of the blue
"yeah sure" I answered
He took my hand and we walked to the dance floor.
He put his hands on my waste and I put my arms around his neck. We just swayed to the music since we really didn't know what else to do.
"so" Cole said
"So" I repeated
"What do you think of our new science teacher?" he asked
"I think she's crazy" I said honestly
Then we just talk about random things. Well I talked he just smiled and listen to me.
The song ended and Cole asked "You want to go get something to eat"
I nodded and we walked to the kitchen holding hands.
I jumped up on the counter as he took out cheese and crackers.
We ate in silence. Cole looked like he had something on his mind " can I ask you a question?" he asked
"shoot" I said taking a bit out of my cracker
He took a breath and just when he was about to say something Helvetica walked in pulling Toe behind her.
"Toe what happen?" I asked forgetting all about Cole
"She hit me in the eye"he said pointing to Helvetica
Helvetica came over pushed me out of the way and said "now stay still" then she forcefully pushed a bag of ice in Toe's face only hurting him more.
"hey!" I yelled
Then I grabbed the ice pack from her and gently put it on toe's eye
"Thanks Lindy" he said
"what are you doing here?" asked Helvetica
Toe put the ice pack down and looked at the counter. I followed his gaze and saw my moms purse but also the wishing rock,Delilah.
"I was just getting my moms purse" he said
He reached over and he only grabbed the rock.
"thanks for the ice bye" said Toby quickly
"wait don't go!" said Helvetica
I grabbed onto the rock"let go of the wishing rock!" I yelled
Helvetica raised one of her arms and hit on our hands.
I hissed in pain. God that hurt.
"wishing rock? How does it work?" she asked ignoring my pain
"she said fishing rock" Toe said saving my butt
He stood up and Cole grabbed him from behind. Scaring the both of us. I totally forgot he was here.
He looked at me with sorry eyes then he picked up my brother and put him in the trash can.
"Heh,heh. Two points" he said to Toe who was head first in the trash can.
To my surprise I wasn't the only one who was horrified so was Helvetica.
"you stupid excuse for a brother. I wish you were a stupid little dung beetle" she said. Uh oh.
Cole shrunk down into a little beetle which is my least favorite bug ever.
I jumped away from him. Not wanting to be near him nor step on him.
"wow" whispered Helvetica
Toby stood up still with the trash can on his head.
He didn't know where he was going so he bumped into Helvetica which caused the rock to come out of her hand. It fell into a plater which a waiter was carrying.
"we have to get that rock" I said
"ok" said Toby
We started to walk away "wait what about Cole?" I asked
Helvetica rolled her eyes and picked up the beetle which was Cole and put him under the sink
"I'm gonna change you back. Just stay here so you don't get squished and quit your whining" she demanded
The bug nodded.
Toe put a hand on her shoulder " give me my rock back" he demanded
"my brothers a bug" she said
"so what's new?" Toe asked sarcastically
"the rocks out there somewhere" I told Toe before this got ugly
"yeah stay here while I go get it" Helvetica told us
"oh no! We all go" I said stepping in front of her.
"yeah you and me go together. Like Siamese twins" said Toe linking arms with Helvetica
"I'll go first" I said
I walked trying to look normal then I motioned for Helvetica and Toe to come out.
"I need everyones attention" said Mr. Black form the stairs
"the fate of version X of the black box lies in the hands of two teams. I made a promise to myself and more importantly the world that I would never release an upgrade that didn't meet our higher stander of wow. The winning team will be showered with accolades and the losers get a one way ticket to Canned City. I'll Ned the representatives.."
"that's us" I herd my mom say
"team A and team B to step up here now" Black added
Everyone moved out of there way
My mom and dad looked like they were glued together. The only thought in my mind was Delilah did it.
"Can you stand a little farther apart we can't fire just one of you if your standing together as one" said Mr. Black
Mom and dad tried to scoot apart which was impossible
Mom and dad just shrugged. Mr. Black had an annoyed look on his face.
Just then the man with the wishing rock on his plater walked up to Mr. Black and offered him some food
It took all my strength not to go up there grab the rock and run.
"keep your friends close and your enemy's closer,eh?" Black said
He went to pick up a piece of cheese but instead grab the rock. He is that stupid.
"now that's the honest go for the throat spirit I'm talking about I wish each and everyone of you had that go for the throat spirit." oh no.
I grabbed a random person next to me and grabbed there throat. They did the same to me. Everyone else did the same to each other.
"what are you doing?" asked Mr. Black over the commotion "what's happening?"
" have you all gone mad?" he asked
I fell to the ground just as Toe and my parents did
Dad,Toe and I grabbed the rock
"Thompson do you know what's happening?" asked Black who was standing over us
Dad yanked out of our hand " I believe Team A has found a solution to an upgrade problem." he told Black
Mom grabbed the rock "that's the solution to our little problem remember?" mom told dad
Helvetica then grabbed the rock from my mom "we'v got the rock now,Dad we can have anything we want. Just wish for it" she told him
"this is all your doing? Isn't it young lady?" Black said blaming it on Helvetica
"no dad! Listen!" she said
"Were here to talk about a Box! A black Box not a colorful rock! This box has to be able to do anything!" Black yelled
By the time he said that Toe,I and our parents were all to our feet.
"that's what this does!" argued Helvetica
"that's the last straw. Helvetica go
to your room, don't ever come out!" yelled Black
"no I wish you would just listen to me for a change" she said
Mr. Black ears turned big and huge. This rock has a way of twisting words around.
Black back up looking shocked. Helvetica had an happy smile on her face.
"I wish these cast were off" she said
Instead of her cast it took Toe's cast.
"not his just mine" she said
His cast came back
"I wish for a rocket bike" just then a bike popped up.
I pushed Toby forward to try to get her to stop
"I know what it's like to feel like no one's listening to you. That's no one's your friend. But Helvetica I'm your friend" he said
She looked like she was debating wether to believe him but she finally said "I don't need friends"
She then licked her teeth which were clear of braces.
"see you stooges" she yelled then she drove off
"we have to get that's rock" I said to Toe
"you've always wanted to be on the track team" he said
I took off my flats and me and Toe started running. I couldn't run to fast or I would lose Toe.
Turns out she didn't go that far. We got there just in time to see her fly through the air and land in a trash can.
"well would you look at that". Said Toe
I saw the rock roll down the street. We ran after it again. We ran all the way back to the black house. Everyone else was there beating each other up.
I saw the rock on the floor and pointed it out to toe.
"I wish we were all back to normal" he said
Everyone stopped what they were doing. Mr. Black ears were back. Mom and dad were unstuck and Cole turned back into a human.
"well obviously someone spiked the Kook-aid" Black trying to lighten the mood
The door bell rung. Toe and I went to answer it. We opened to see Helvetica covered in a banana peel on she smelled like trash.
"give me that rock or I'll break every other bone in your body! You too" she said the last part directed to me.
"you wish" said Toe
Toe turned around a couple of times then he threw the rock like a frisbee. He ran off
"bye" squeaked then I ran home.
