"Why in the world are we in the vents?"
Santiago rolled his eyes. "Everyone knows Zora spends her day in the vents. This is probably the only way we could find her."
"That's because Zora is eleven, and fits through easily! Ow!" said Ryan, rubbing his head. This caused him to push Gilroy who hit his head which moved Santiago and he hit his head.
"Ouch!" they all winced.
"This is so not worth it," Gilroy complained.
"Yes it is!" Santiago said. "Now relax. We'll find her in no time."
"Yeah, well, what if she's down there? Like a NORMAL person?" Ryan asked.
Santiago rolled his eyes. "Thats the thing. She isn't normal."
"Obviously. Ow!" Ryan said, getting struck again.
"It's a miracle we can fit here," Gilroy observed.
"Whoa look there's a hole coming!" Ryan said, worried.
"Relax. It's just another opening of the vent. We can ask whoever's there if they know where Zora went," Santiago said.
They crawled there and looked out. It was Sonny and Tawni's dressing room. They cursed and jumped back. They weren't supposed to know they were here until they got interviewed. Especially not Sonny. She didn't like them very much.
Santiago peeked. "I see someone!"
"Who?" Gilroy asked.
Santiago squinted. "Its not Tawni, they have brown hair.."
"Sonny?" Ryan asked.
He shook his head. "No..too small. Her hair is in pigtails looks like...wait a second.." he gasped. Ryan and Gilroy went too look, and gasped.
There was Zora, smiling up at them. "Hello boys.." she said, grinning evilly.
"I heard your interview with TweedleDumb and TweedleDumber yesterday. I also know you want to interview me today." Her dark eyes drilled into theirs.
"Well, uh, your, uh, fans want to ask you questions!" Santiago stammered.
Zora shrugged. "Fine. But I got my eyes on you." She indicated this.
"Thank you!" Santiago said. "Now can you get us down, please?"
She grinned. "You have to jump."
"WHAT?" they all exclaimed. Gilroy and Ryan glared daggers at Santiago.
He smiled sheepishly. "Well, uh, let's jump boys."
With one last glare, Gilroy and Ryan jumped out with Santiago. They landed with a thud.
"OW!" they all screamed. Zora laughed.
"I knew you'd think I was in the vents. So I decided to hang here while Sonny and Tawni did the Check-It-Out Girl's sketch." She grinned at their shocked faces.
"So they won't be back for an hour or so. We can stay here for the interview," she said, relaxing on Sonny's couch.
Santiago sat on Tawni's couch. Gilroy settled himself on Tawni's chair and Ryan, Sonny's.
"So ask away boys!" Zora said.
Santiago picked up the first card. "Okay the first one is from MoonLightShadowBeams."
"And what does Miss ShadowBeams want to ask me?"
"She first says: Zora, your awesome! I admire your work! Especially the vents part. I was wondering, how did you, like, find the vents? What made you decide to live/stay up there?" he read.
Zora smiled. "Well thank you Miss ShadowBeams! I didn't know my work was admired so much. Though I have to admit, it is quite awesome."
"Well I found the vents a few weeks after I got on So Random! Tawni and the goofs could get really annoying so I decided to stay up there for a while. And now it's just what I do."
Santiago smiled, strained. "Interesting. She also asks: Zora, have you ever duct taped anyone to a chair? My friend Carter ductaped Owen (my cousin) to a chair."
"Well, Moonlight, I feel very sorry for Owen. But I also give props to Carter," she said, smiling. "Yeah I have duct taped someone to a chair. Chad Dylan Cooper."
Ryan laughed. "How did that happen?"
"Sonny came back from the Falls annoyed with Chad cause he stole her Skittles or something. So I, being the good friend, decided to prank Chad." She chuckled.
"I got the Hair and Makeup lady to tell him she was going to do his hair and sit him in a chair. So Chad, being the idiot he is, sat there not even realizing that wasn't his Hair and Makeup lady. Sonny and I duct taped him immediately. It was hilarious. Chad screams like a little girl."
The three reporters burst with laughter. "Chad Dylan Cooper screams like a little girl?"
Zora started laughing now. "Yeah! Sonny used to make fun of him for that, but now she thinks it's 'cute'" she shuddered.
Ryan jot down in his notes. Santiago picked up his next card. "The next question is from ChAnNyObSeSsEd."
"Whatty obsessed?" Zora asked, brows raised.
"Channy," Ryan said. "Chad and Sonny's couple name."
Zora gaped. "They have a couple name? Bleh."
"Yes, well, anyway this is her what she says: You have to admit that Chad and Sonny have liked each other for more than a year now. They make each other so happy except for when there is a misunderstanding or one of them makes a mistake. If they ever broke up, would you try and get them back together?" he read.
Zora groaned. "Of course someone obsessed with them would ask this. Yes, I know they like each other. I also know they have pretty much ever since they met. They do make each other insanely happy. Like seriously, they've become insane. Who calls a person Shortstack? And m'lady gets kinda old, y'know. It's so weird."
"If they broke up, I don't think I'd try to get them together unless we all made a decision to help, or if Sonny went Bella Swan and got all depressed."
"You think that would happen?" Santiago asked, eyes widening.
"Nah. Probably just a lot of crying, and screaming "SHORTSTACK! I LOVE YOU! COME BACK!"
"I thought Chad called Sonny that."
"He does."
Santiago grinned. "The next couple of questions are from disney123."
"Disney fan, huh? Ask away!" Zora said, sarcastically.
"First question: What do you see in the vents?" Santiago asked.
"That's classified."
Santiago stared at her in disbelief.
"Hahah just kidding! Fooled ya, didn't I? Anyway, I see lots of things. Yesterday I found the goof twins discussing plans about finding popcorn twins again. I saw Tawni freaking out about her lipgloss. And I had the misfortune to find Sonny and Chad kissing and being romantic in Chad's dressing room." She gagged.
"You saw them kissing?" Santiago said, with a look of disgust.
Zora groaned. "Sadly. Thank god they only peck.."
"Anyway," Santiago said, trying to change the subject. "Here's disney123's next question."
"Would Chad ever cheat on Sonny like his past girlfriends?"
Zora snorted. "No way. He's totally loyal to her."
As Ryan wrote notes eagerly, Santiago read the next question.
"How does Chad feel about Sonny?"
"He likes her. Duh."
"Can you elaborate on that?" Gilroy asked.
Zora rolled her eyes. "Well he likes her a lot. Completely devoted and all."
"You are in the vents a lot. What are things that Chad has done for Sonny before they dated proving that he always liked her?"
Zora thought about it. "Hmmm...well there is the time we had the prom and then everyone left and I went to vent. I saw him look nervous when he saw Sonny alone there. And then he walked up to her and danced with her."
"How often a day are Sonny and Chad together?"
"Pretty much everytime when both of them aren't rehearsing or she's with us. Which is worse cause then they talk on the phone," Zora said, gagging.
"Do you think them dating is a good idea?"
"No! She broke the So Random code!" she cried, indignantly. "But..we are over it now pretty much. There's no keeping them apart."
"Do you think Sonny likes Chad as much as he appears to like her?"
She shrugged. "Probably. She seems quite besotted with him as well."
Santiago pulled the next card. "The next question is from Geekquality."
Zora smiled. "Now this seems like my kinda person! Shoot!"
"What activities did you do at your three day Sherlock/detective 3 day 2000$ camp?"
"Now that's my question! Well we did the standard detective stuff. We were sent to scenes of a crime and were told to look for clues. I was the best, the Sherlock of everyone. Except when I accused Tawni falsely.." Zora hung her head in shame.
"Accused Tawni for what?" Gilroy asked.
"To who was framing Sonny. And it was Penelope! Ah the shame.."
"The next question is from MissPerfectlyUnique," Santiago read.
"Well what does Miss Unique have to ask me?" Zora asked.
"Would you take revenge on Penelope and if yes, what would you do?"
"Of course I would! But she's in a celebrity rehab center now..I think. And I don't know what I'd do, but it would be amazing," Zora said, proudly.
Santiago smiled and picked up the next card. "The next one is from channystemiluver."
"Great. More Channy.."
"Their question is, have you ever walked in on Sonny and Chad and saw them kissing?"
Zora pondered. "Technically, no. I saw them through the vents."
"And the last one," Santiago picked it up. "Its from Zorafan1011."
Zora mock gasped in delight. "A fan of moi? Go on!"
"How did you get so smart? And is Dakota Condor really super evil?"
She puffed with pride. "Well, I am quite the genius y'know. That would explain my intelligence. And yes she is. She's out to get So Random! and marry Chad. Evil."
"Okay that's it for today Zora," Santiago said, getting up. Ryan and Gilroy followed suit. "Thanks for answering the questions."
"My pleasure," Zora smiled, sweetly. "Oh and if you hurry you might see Chad and Sonny eat lunch together."
The reporters raced out the door. Zora laughed.
"Ha! They're at the Pancake House! Suckas." Zora said to herself.
"What was that?" Tawni asked, suddenly coming in.
"Nothing..."
"Wait they're not here!" Ryan asked.
Santiago groaned. "Obviously. Anyway, tomorrow we will interview Miss Tawni Hart."
Gilroy smiled. "Good. I have a bone to pick with her."
"No! She'll recognize you! If she's as smart as she seems, then I have a plan for us not to get recognized."
You like? Yeah probably not. Sorry. I suck at doing Zora.
But I can do Tawni pretty well! So send in questions for her!
R&R!
