A/N- Wassup? It is TOBN here with a new chapter for Just Friends! Whoo!
The following episode is one of the best in my opinion. I mean, it is awesome! Hottie Ho-Tep was charming, but evil..which I loved! But my favorite parts were when Benny, Sarah, Ethan screamed when the mummy went in, or when the guards got ran over by a truck, or when Benny played with the pancreas and used it as a beard, even when Ethan faked a gag when Hottie was in his house. I laughed a whole bunch in that episode :)
Shoutouts to my fave...
MBAV fan66- You are right. Poor Benny! If only he knew... :) Thank you! I try. I was just dying to know what happened with teens, especially when Benny and Ethan asked about them too ;) And I will make sure to help you with futures stories; I am always there for you fanfic buddy! Thanks for reviewing!
So with that, have fun reading and drop a review! This chapter is mainly focused on Sky, Mark and Benny, but every character shows up at some point. I did however change the plot of the episode, so I hope you like that. I knew Sky wouldn't be so love struck anyway. Too feisty for that :)
Disclaimer: I don't own MBAV or its characters. Just this plot, Sky and Mark. Just saying.
ENJOY!
Just Friends: Chapter 7: Hottie Ho-Tep
Sky, Benny, Sarah, Ethan, Erica, Rory and Mark were crowded around the group of students who gathered around Mr. G. The class was taking a day field trip to the museum and Mr. G was at their last stop of the tour.
"Well this is the ancient tomb of Hottie Ho-Tep. When he was arranged to marry a the Pharaoh's daughter and refused because he wasn't in love with her, the Pharaoh had him executed!" He said, slightly startling the group of teens. Benny leaned in towards Sky's ear.
"She must've had a killer uni-brow." He said jokingly, getting a slight punch from Sky, who was oddly fascinated by the story. Benny yelped silently as Rory piped up.
"Can I make a mummy for extra credit?" He asked excitedly. Mr. G didn't know how to say no to Rory's enthusiasm as everyone groaned.
"Well, that wouldn't be suggested." He quickly said. Rory looked at his friends. "That was not a no!" He exclaimed, making Sky smile as she rolled her eyes playfully. Mr. G continued.
"These hieroglyphics say that Hottie Ho-Tep vowed never to go to the Underworld without his true love." He paused, squinting at the Egyptian symbols once more and shrugged. "It is either that or these are cleaning instructions.." He pondered. He clapped his hands, clearly happy as the students fiddled with whatever they had.
"Well, that is the end of the tour! Feel free to look around and explore!" He urged.
But most of the students left, probably going to spend their money on the Starbucks there or the Gift Shop. Mr. G sighed.
"Or you can leave, because that is fine too." He said flatly, walking away as well. The seven teenagers however, stayed around the tomb of Hottie Ho-Tep. Sky sighed dreamily.
"Aw! That is so sweet. Risking his life just so he can die happy with true love? So romantic!" She cooed. Erica shrugged as she pecked Rory's cheek, catching him by surprise as he blushed.
"I already have my true love." She said happily, making Rory smile. Mark nodded.
"I do believe that it is a wonder. The science of true love." He remarked. Sky sighed once more. "I wish love like that can actually exist. I would not mind being this guy's lover." She cooed. Sarah rolled her eyes. "You are being a bit cheesy considering your boyfriend...boyfriends are already beside you." She smirked, making Benny, Sky and Mark blush as Ethan laughed.
"Enough with this, can we go to the dinosaur exhibit? I want to see the T-Rex again. So realistic...'' He murmured in excitement. Benny clapped his hands excitingly.
"Not until we see if that jar has pancreas. I used all of them up for a potion and I need to replace the stuff for Grandma." He said, walking towards the tomb. Sky pulled his shoulder back.
"Why would you even use pancreas? That isn't common in spells. What would you use it for?" She questioned. Benny's mind drifted to a few nights ago.
Benny stood in front of a mirror, pancreas over his chin and above his lips.
"Benny! You look so good with that beard!" He said in a girly accent. His voice then turned deep and masculine.
"Why thank you Sky." He said smoothly.
"Wizard stuff?" He tried, snapping back to reality. Ethan looked disgusted.
"Dude. Disgusting." He said. Benny looked at him. "How would you know?" He questioned. Ethan sighed. "Telepath, remember? Read minds ring a bell? You are so desperate." He said as if it were the obvious thing ever. Benny shrugged. "What? Don't judge me." He said nonchalantly and opened the jar. Mark gasped.
"You don't suppose this is stealing?" He said, confused. Benny poured the pancreas into a plastic bag, the stench filling his nose. He shook his head as he sealed the jar.
"No! It is just borrowing." Everyone gave him a look as he shrugged innocently. "What? It is not like the museum people asked Raggedy Andy here if they can raid his tomb, right?" He said as he stuffed the disgusting pancreas-filled plastic bag into his jacket. Rory sighed.
"Well, what is done is done. Let us go to the donut vending machine!" He cheered, sprinting away as his friends followed. Sky pulled Benny back as she pointed at him accusingly.
"If you get caught by the police, I was never here." She ordered, sashaying towards her friends. Benny looked stunned as her blonde curls flowed through the wind, leaving Benny breathless as he followed.
Another reason to love your best friend.
Little did they know when they left, that it wasn't the police who would get them.
It was a mummy.
Sky and Benny were standing near Evelyn's secret shelf, Sky standing boringly beside Benny as Benny finally screwed the cap closed.
"There! No one would notice." He exclaimed proudly. Sky sighed as she shook her head disapprovingly.
"Are you sure that is a good idea? I mean, you did steal." Benny rolled his eyes. "You don't mind! We take a lot of supernatural stuff. Remember the alligator?" He questioned. Sky shrugged.
"But that is because we actually defeated those things! This time, it was sorta like...supernatural grocery shopping." She protested slightly. Benny gave a lighthearted laugh.
"Nice reference." Sky looked uneasy as Benny shrugged. "Can you relax? Nothing happened, so everything is fine!"
As if he said it too soon, the door slammed open and out walked in a bandaged mummy! Sky and Benny held each other in fearful embrace as they screamed frightfully. The mummy's bandage got suck in the door frame, so after pulling that off, he lunged at the two once more, getting a scream from them again. But once again, the mummy's bandage got stuck, so it grasped to it and attempted to lunge at the spellmasters again. Sky and Benny gave a little yell before realizing that the mummy was stuck. Sky slumped her shoulders in disappointment.
"Well, that was a bust. What happened to action and suspense? Pathetic." She remarked. Benny sighed. "Agreed. The last one was a pity scream." He said. Sky sighed frustratingly.
"Benny! This is the mummy from the museum. What are we gonna do?" She questioned, clearly stressed. Benny shrugged. "Well it is obvious that it wants its pancreas back." Benny noted, pointing to the released mummy, who was peering curiously into the jar filled with pancreas. Sky took a deep breath as Benny continued.
"So we just bring the pancreas back to the museum, and voila! No more mummy." He said, as if it were magic. Sky shook her head quickly, as knowing what he was hinting.
"No! You are doing this yourself. Time to amend for your magical mistakes Weir." She patted the sullen Benny on the back sympathetically. "Good luck." She added as she tried to walk out, but Benny pulled her back.
"C'mon Sky! There is a monster on the loose, and you are not going to help me?" He said, not believing it. "Some friend! Wanting me to get eaten by a monster!" He said, slightly annoyed while joking a bit. Sky rolled her eyes as she smirked.
"Monster?" She grabbed the mummy's hand as Benny winced. The mummy rubbed its bandaged hand softly against Sky's chest, stroking the metal heart that Sky wore. Sky laughed.
"Ooh! It is touching my necklace! So scared. Anyway, I want to try a new spell. You ready for a surprise?" Benny shrugged. "I guess, but..."
And with a snap of her fingers, Sky disappeared in a puff of blue smoke, leaving the mummy holding her friendship necklace Benny gave her for Christmas. Benny threw his hands up in the air in frustration.
"I will get you back for the teleporting gag!" He yelled. Sadly, he was alone, so he was basically talking to the mummy, or the sky. He looked at the mummy, who admired the necklace. It looked at Benny and tilted its head as Benny crossed his arms. He shot a glance at the mummy.
"What?" He scoffed. "Never saw a spellmaster before?" He added, letting his fury onto the mummy. The mummy went back to admiring the necklace as Benny pulled out his phone. He sighed as he scrolled down the contacts, doing something he never thought he'd do before.
Finally, he saw a contact that read "The Number One Person You Shouldn't Be Calling". He clicked that with a sigh as he heard the long dialing. At last, the phone picked up.
"Hello? Benny?" A British voice chimed through Benny's ears. He sighed.
"Yeah Mark? I am gonna need your help..." He trailed off, mentally slapping himself for working with the enemy.
Benny, Ethan, and Rory stood by their lockers, talking animatedly about last night's Mortal Combat Live Showdown on the T.V. Rory sighed dreamily.
"My favorite was the cheerleaders who cheered in the halftime show." He said. Ethan rolled his eyes. "No, the best was when Marco Godledi flipped Steven Foppini off the circle in the first twenty seconds. So epic!" He cheered, getting a high-five from Benny.
Suddenly, Sky, Sarah and Erica walked up to the three boys. Erica and Sarah pecked their boyfriends' cheeks, making them blush. Sky rolled her eyes as she waved at Benny.
"Hey B!" He smiled, looking at Ethan and Sarah laugh as Erica and Rory kissed. He sighed.
"Hey Sky. I feel like a serious third wheel right now." He remarked, getting a laugh from everyone else. Sky giggled.
"I know right?" The laughter died down as Erica smirked at Benny.
"Oh Benny! I totally forgot. I heard you're having mummy issues." She said teasingly as Sarah laughed. "Hang in there!" Sarah added, walking away with Ethan and Rory. So now it was just Benny and Sky. She sighed as Benny looked at her in a jokingly accusingly way.
"You told? Not smart or cool dude." He sighed, laughing a bit. Sky shrugged. "What can you do? Supernatural news flies faster among us than a vampire running from wasps." She remarked, making Benny chuckle.
"Well if you must know, me and Mark got that handled last night." He said proudly. Sky beamed at the fact Benny and Mark actually worked together without punching each other. Suddenly, Benny's phone rang. Mark's phone number flashed on the screen. Benny flashed a smile as he clicked answer on the phone.
"Hello?" He said, clearly trying to show coolness, making Sky laugh. Mark's worried voice rung through the phone.
"Bad news: The mummy is missing." He said as clearly as he could. Benny's calm face turned alerted as he weakly smiled at Sky.
"I have to take this call." He said worryingly as he turned around, making sure Sky couldn't hear his conversation. She rolled her eyes as she began to walk away. Benny started to panic.
"What do you mean the mummy is missing?!" He whisper-yelled. Mark sighed on the phone.
"Well, I was researching a bunch of stuff while at your Grandma's secret lair where the mummy was. And I was about to return the mummy when I caught it eating a bunch of stuff from her secret shelf!" He admitted, making Benny steam. What a fool he was, leaving Mark in the secret lair. He groaned.
"Well? Can any make a mummy fully fledged?" He questioned, hoping there to be a no. But instead, Mark moaned in stress.
"Try ten!" Benny gasped. "You are saying we have a fully-fledged mummy on the loose?!" He almost yelled.
All of the sudden, he heard a yelp. He turned around to see Sky, acquainting with a unknown boy. To Benny's sadness, he was pretty decent looking.
"Benny?" Mark asked. "You still there?" Benny blinked twice as Sky giggled.
A single piece of ripped bandage hung from the boy's foot. Benny gasped in shock.
"Dude, I think I just found the mummy. With Sky." He emphasized, making Mark gasp. "No! How would you know for sure?" He asked, his British voice holding disbelief. Benny grinned slightly.
"Because he got the mummified version of a toilet tail. Meet me here; I'll talk to ya later." He said quickly, ending the call. He quickly whispered a spell in Latin as the voices afar could be heard perfectly due to the spell's affect.
"My name is Hottie Ho-Tep. I work at the museum. Is this yours?" He asked, holding out Benny's necklace to her. Sky covered her mouth as she smiled gratefully.
"Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I was looking for this everywhere! Where did you find it?" She asked excitingly, clearly forgetting that Hottie Ho-Tep was the mummy. Benny growled as he continued to listen.
"I remembered this sparkling in the sunlight, and remembered your beautiful face." He said smoothly, making Benny look at him in disbelief. Sky giggled as they linked arms and walked away. Benny growled as he clapped his hands, disconnecting the spell.
"So he's a charmer, eh? Time to pull out the big guns." He said, walking away in frustration.
Ethan, Benny, and Mark were standing near the doors of the cafeteria, peering through the window as they watched Hottie and Sky. Mark growled.
"I cannot believe that bitch is hanging out with Sky." He sneered, getting a look from Ethan, who never heard Mark swear before. But Benny ignored as he, surprisingly, nodded in agreement.
"I cannot believe that bitch is wearing my shirt!" He said, pointing an accusing look at Mark, who threw his hands up in innocence.
"Well? At least I didn't unleash Prince Charming from the dead!" He said accusingly at Benny, who looked like he was gonna throw a punch at him. Luckily, Ethan separated the two.
"No need for a cat fight!" He said in a rush. They stood up as Benny sighed.
"So? What are we gonna do?" He questioned. Mark looked at the door in fear as he sighed.
"We go out there and show him who is the man." He said, pushing the doors open as Benny followed. Ethan stood behind, wanting to watch the whole thing unfold.
Benny and Mark went up to Sky and smiled. The two were giggling as Hottie held up a rose for Sky, who blushed in response.
Sky suddenly looked up to see that there was Benny and Mark, grinning like idiots.
"Uh..hi Sky? Who's your..." Benny trailed off, not knowing what to say. "...Friend?" Mark finished off. Sky smiled a goofy grin, one that Benny or Mark never saw before.
A love-struck Sky.
"Oh! This is Hottie Ho-Tep! It is Egyptian. I call him Hottie for short. Isn't he so cool?" She said, slightly slurred. Mark and Benny exchanged looks as Hottie smiled at them, a hint of a mischievous grin to his face.
"Yes. And I am deeply in love with your friend. She is beautiful and sweet and I wish to call her mine." He said smoothly, making Sky giggle once more.
Benny and Mark exchanged looks once more. "Can I...uh..talk to you?" Benny asked as he pulled Sky aside.
"Sky! That is Hottie Ho-Tep!" Mark nodded, joining the two. Sky shrugged. "Yeah, of course. I know his beautiful name!" She cooed, her heart fluttering. Mark rolled his eyes.
"That is the mummy! Wake up and smell the roses!" He said quickly. Sky just sighed dreamily.
"Oh well! I still love him though!" She said cheerfully as she pranced back to Hottie's arms. Mark and Benny looked at each other, both thinking the same thing as Mark groaned, not wanting what he was thinking to be true. But they said their thoughts in unison.
"That bitch has Sky in love with him." They. concluded. "Against her own will."
Mark and Benny walked sourly into Evelyn's secret chambers, Evelyn trailed behind them, clearly upset.
"You too were the only boys in here at the hour when my pancreas were stolen. I saw the security cameras." She said, making Benny mentally slap himself for forgetting the fact that he installed security systems for his grandma the weeks prior to this date. He sighed.
"We can explain Mrs. Weir." Mark said reassuringly. Benny nodded as Evelyn sat down, clearly annoyed.
"Alright! I haven't got forever." She sighed. Benny sighed dreamily as he and Mark sat down as well.
"Well, this all started when I wanted to grow a beard." He said, making Mark and Evelyn looked at the spellmaster as if he was crazy.
So with that, Mark and Benny started to tell their tale, from the part when Benny stole the pancreas, to when Mark lost the mummy, to the part with Sky acting TOO love-struck. Mark groaned when it was all over.
"And now Sky is dating a mummy. Against her own will. We think Hottie hypnotized her." He concluded. Evelyn perked up.
"Well, you need to fix it! Mummies like him can drag anyone into the underworld for eternity. I mean, all they need is a special tea!" She said worryingly. Mark and Benny's eyes widened.
"What?!" They almost yelled. Evelyn nodded as the boys sped out the door to save their beloved spellmaster.
Just as they ran out, Evelyn caught sight of a black piece of velvet fly out of one of the boys' pockets. She picked it up and examined it. She looked at it and sighed in confusion.
"What could that boy be hiding behind all that charm?" She muttered to herself as she dropped the black velvet fabric, automatically forgetting what she was even doing as she walked out of the chambers.
A shadow zoomed across the room after making sure the coast was clear. She looked around and sighed as she picked up the black piece of velvet.
"That fool..." The shadow whispered as it zoomed off at racing speeds.
Mark and Benny walked through the dark streets alone. They told their friends that they got the situation under control.
"So what do we do?" Mark whispered. Benny shrugged. "I dunno. But a hypnotized Sky said in a lovey voice that she and her date were gonna be at the museum for tea." He said in annoyance as Mark gagged.
"Gross." He remarked. Benny gasped as he saw two guards, dressed in Egyptian like clothing walked up to them.
"Looks like we have company." Benny whispered to Mark, who's eyes held distress.
"Halt! None shall disrupt Hottie Ho-Tep's journey to the underworld." One of the guards looked at them, recognizing the two from Hottie's stories.
"Especially the males who cannot take a hint!" He added, making Benny and Mark growl as they steamed in fury.
"You shut up ancient bitch!" Mark shot back, getting a shocked look from Benny, who quickly masked it with fury.
"Let us past!" He yelled with authority, letting it be Mark's turn to look surprised. The guards laughed mockingly as they pointed their spears at the spellmasters, making them cross the road. The guards stayed on the road. "Try us!" The taller guard exclaimed. Mark looked worryingly at Benny.
"Well, do something!" He exclaimed. Benny shrugged. "Running! Running is something!" He suggested, sorta hoping for a joke as Mark and Benny saw two headlights flash on the guards. The guards looked at them in confusion, awing over the two lights. Mark looked uneasy as Benny looked like he wanted popcorn to go with the epic movie.
"What is that?" The shorter guard said in wonder and complete admiration. "It is like two stars fell down from the heavens!"
And before they could say anything, the guards got ran over by the truck. Benny and Mark gasped as all they saw left of the guards were sandals. Benny puffed up his chest as he flicked his jacket in coolness.
"Well." He said, shrugging innocently. "We showed them!" Mark finished off for him, giving high fives to each other.
Almost forgetting what they were really here for, they rushed into the museum to save Sky.
When they reached inside, they eventually found Sky and Hottie, about to drink the tea.
"Stop! Don't drink that tea!" Mark yelled. Benny face palmed: Way to ruin the element of surprise. Sky placed the tea down as she looked at them in confusion.
"Guys? Why are you guys here? Can't you see that we are having our last date before he has to leave forever?" She said sadly. Benny rolled his eyes.
"Sky snap out of it!" He exclaimed. Sky looked at them in confusion, her pale blue eyes staring at them.
Wait...pale blue eyes?!
Benny realized Sky wasn't hypnotized at all. If she was, her eyes would've transferred to a different color. Mark thought the same thing as he face-palmed.
"We are so stupid." He said in disappoint. Hottie looked at them.
"Now that you know, please leave us alone." He said so sweetly, Benny almost let him. But he remembered what he was here for, and stood his ground.
"No! Not unless we want you to drag Sky into the underworld from the tea!" He paused. "Which we don't." He added. Sky looked at Hottie in fury.
"You bitch!" She yelled, pushing Hottie.
She realized that the tomb was open, due to the fact Hottie unknowingly waved his staff, opening the doors to the Underworld. Hottie, weak due to the fact that Mark was shaking his sacred jar, looked at Sky, weak in the eyes.
"Please Sky...I am everything you want." He said weakly and innocently that Sky almost gave in.
Almost.
"Sorry Hottie, but we are SO done." She yelled, pushing him in as she shut the doors quickly.
The spellmasters all stood in silence for a while.
"Thank you. For..uh..caring. And working together. You guys are awesome."
Without any warning, she quickly pecked each of their cheeks, walking out as she began to take off the fancy Egyptian jewelry. Mark and Benny blushed as they trailed behind her, their hearts soaring.
A/N- Well that is it for this! Hope you found it romantic and funny :)
I am gonna update a few more stories; drop a review and enjoy life!
