Author's Note:Great,I forgot to describe Peter's room in the 2nd chapter so here you go!
PS:Peter is very rich.
Chapter 4
The gang,excluding Skull Boy,began their 'pow-wow' in Peter's room.
Teak cupboards lined one wall.
Facing them,a brand new laptop dominated his spacious desk.
A door beside it led to his laboratory.
The deep green quilt that covered his huge bed matched the curtains framing the French windows that opened onto a small balcony.
"Do not worry!This room is soundproof from Skull Boy!Now we can talk without being heard!"Peter reassured them.
"But what if the door gets stuck and we cannot get out?Nobody can hear our screams!"Scaredy Bat panicked.
"Anyway,the reason why we have called everyone,except Skull Boy is because..."
"SKULL BOY HAS STOPPED TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO HE IS!"Jealousy exclaimed.
Gasps of shock echoed in the room.
"Egads!How did that happen?'
"I knew that."Peter said somberly.
"Of course you knew that,you're from the 25th century!"Misery sarcastically said.
"YOU'RE FROM THE WHAT?"Vulcan and Jealousy were dumbfounded with shock.
"We will explain about his origins later,right now,we have to find out what is up with Skulls!"Ruby declared.
"Alright,but you will have to explain yourself later,Peter,if that is even your REAL name!"Vulcan growled.
"Yes,yes!Anyway,I am the culprit!I accidentally told Skull Boy that he was so obsessedwith finding out who he is!"Peter admitted,
"I'm so sorry!".
Ruby tried to comfort him,"No need to worry!Knowing Skull Boy,we can get himback to his old-self!In fact..."Ruby's impish mind began to form a scheme.
...
"Are you ready Frank and Len?."Iris asked into the microphone.
"You bet we are!"They cried simultaneously.
Target is in position.
"Will this work?If it doesn't,can we force him into a pool of molten lava along with Peter?"Vulcan requested.
"It worked for Adolf Hitler who used it so that people will be caught up in the military propaganda against the Jews!"Misery commented dryly.
Aim and... fire!
Frank and Len began to strum their guitar as they shakes their hip to the rhythm.
Skull Boy we know you are in the dumps!
Life does have its bumps!
But you have to get on your feet
and rock to your beat!
Skull Boy,what happened to you?
Why are you so blue?
You have to cheer up
Put a smile on your face and get up!
Skull Boy,come back to us!
I want to see your sunny disposition!
You can come up with a cool solution!
You're exceptional!
A skeleton that is sensational!
So why are you so blue?
Why are you as quiet as a mule?
You have to cheer up
Put a smile on your face and get up!
Skull Boy come back to us!
You'll give so much joooy!
To every boy and girl around the woooorld!
Put a spring in your step
and come back...!
Skull Boy please come back!
"What were yo guys singing about?"Skull Boy asked as he switched off his Cathedral radio and put down his headsets.
Everybody moaned in frustration.
"Plan B:Act out different occupations as an evocative of how fun it is t discover who you are!"Ruby declared with a weary smile.
It has to work,it will work!Always have a positive outlook of the situation,Ruby!She reminded herself with the confidence that she didn't really feel.
