"What happened to the wifi?" Chloe hears Stacie yell from upstairs. She glances over at Flo to see the guilty look on her face. Her look of guilt instantly changed to confusion. Chloe instantly knew what the problem was. Flo turned on the light in the living room which caused a trip breaker.
"One time this sort of thing happened in my country but all of the power went out and never came back on," Flo says. Chloe glances over at her. She's tempted to say something then thinks to herself that it's best not to ask.
Not even a second later a group of footsteps begin down the stairs. It sounded almost of there being a bunch of race horses racing there way to win a competition. Five of the girls walk into the living room them being Stacie, Fat Amy, Jessica, Ashley, and Beca.
"Dude why'd the wifi go out?" Beca questioned Flo and Chloe.
"Trip breaker," Chloe replies.
"Trip breaker?" Ashley questions.
"What's a trip breaker?" Jessica instantly piggy backs onto Ashley's question.
Chloe is about to answer their question when Fat Amy speaks up. "It's obviously what happens to your face when you trip." Chloe notices Beca throw a confused look towards Amy.
"That's not what a trip breaker is," Chloe pauses then begins again. "Basically we have to unplug everything in this room then one of us has to go to the fuse box in the basement and flip the fuse back on. Power immediately comes back on."
"How'd the wifi go out then?" Stacie questions.
"The wifi box is set up in this room. All power went out in here which ultimately knocked the wifi out," Chloe explains.
"How do we decide who's going to the basement?" Beca asks.
"Nose goes," Stacie says instantly pressing her pointer finger on her nose. She is quickly followed in the order of Jessica, Ashley, Fat Amy, Flo, then finally Beca. This making Chloe have to go alone into the basement because she was caught off guard and wasn't expecting to have to do nose goes.
Chloe lets out a groan. "Seriously you guys?"
"Basement is haunted," Stacie replies.
"All the more reason to have more than one person go down there," Chloe informs her friends.
Stacie shrugs. "Eh. You'll be fine." She walks over to the couch and flops down on it. Chloe notices Jessica and Ashley are working on unplugging everything in the room.
Fat Amy instantly speaks up. "Well Beca was the last one out of the rest of us to put her finger on her nose so she should be the one who goes with you."
"Thanks for throwing me under the bus Amy," Beca throws a glare towards the Australian's direction.
Chloe smiles at Beca. "We'll be fine. It's not like this is the start of every horror movie."
"You haven't seen many beginnings to horror movies have you?" Beca asks the redhead. Chloe responds with a shrug.
Beca lets out a sigh. "I hate you all." The brunette grabs ahold of a flashlight and makes her way over to the entrance of the basement instantly being followed by Chloe.
Chloe steps in front of Beca and opens the door. The redhead begins to make her way down the steps once Beca turns on the flashlight. Beca following right in her path.
"Do you know where the fuse box is?" Beca asks.
Chloe responds with a shake of her head. "I never go down here."
"Neither do I. Honestly it looks like no one has been down here since the house was first built." Beca shines the light around looking for the wall that the fuse box will be set on.
Beca slowly traces each wall looking for the box while Chloe is standing right next to her also searching for it.
All of a sudden the both of them hear a strange noise. It sounded like tapping. It's almost as if it's a light tapping that would be heard on a window. One problem though: there's no windows in the basement that anyone can tap. Both Beca and Chloe feel an uneasiness feeling in the lower pit of their stomachs. Fear. They eventually don't hear it anymore. The tapping just seems to disappear.
"It's probably just one of the girls messing with us right?" Beca asks. Chloe nods in response. The brunette takes a deep breath then finally her flashlight stumbles upon a shiny gray box on the furthest wall away from them.
"Got it," Chloe says sounding relieved. Beca lets out a sigh and they both make their way over to it.
The redhead opens the box and is instantly met with a bunch of switches. She finds the switch for the living room and instantly sees that it's in the off position unlike all of the other switches. She flips the switch on. Once she does Beca and Chloe hear a crash.
Beca jumps up and does what would usually only would happen in a poorly acted kid's movie or tv show like Scooby Doo. Even though she did appreciate the Scooby Doo series. It was definitely more realistic than some things like how they did the villains. They were always people they never expected. Which is much more closer to how things work in real life. Chloe's right arm is holding Beca's legs and her left arm supporting her back. Beca quickly shuts the door of the fuse box then shines her flashlight in the direction of the stairs.
Chloe doesn't put Beca back down onto the floor and instantly starts to run for the stairs. Quickly making her way back up them to the first floor of the house.
Once out of the basement her and Beca are instantly met with the five other girls that they left in the living room. "Damn, it took you guys long enough," Stacie informs them completely not noticing that Chloe is currently carrying Beca in what would be called bridal style.
"Um…?" Fat Amy says while motioning to the current position that the two of them were currently in. Chloe instantly puts on a smile and puts Beca down. The redhead was actually really surprised at how light Beca actually was. She obviously knew that she was small, but wasn't expecting her to be that small. "What was that all about?"
"Yeah the basement is totally haunted," Chloe says as Beca quickly closes the door to the basement. The brunette leans up against the door once the door is closed.
"Yeah I told you that before you went down there." Stacie groans and pulls out her nail file instantly beginning to file her nails. "Nobody listens," she mumbles and walks away. Flo, Jessica, and Ashley leave Beca and Chloe alone with Fat Amy.
"By the way, Chloe, you're only supposed to carry your bride over the threshold on your wedding day." Beca's eyebrows scrunch up in confusion. She instantly moves her position from leaning on the door.
"I'm not her bride," Beca states.
Fat Amy begins to walk away. "For now anyway." The both of them hear Amy mutter under her breath.
"Yeah no Beca was just scared," Chloe calls after the Australian instantly receiving a nudge from Beca.
"Dude, no." Beca begins to say. "That's not what happened."
"You know it's true Becs. Might as well not deny it," Chloe says with a smile then slowly walks away. Beca rolls her eyes and shakes her head.
