Chapter 7: More Lies and More Surprises!
Previously: The five walked back to the set to practice. On the way, they left an anonymous note in under Marshall's door for him to see when he got back from a meeting later that night.
After practice the five separated into their rooms. Zora had to go in with a lot of taffy in her mouth so she wouldn't say anything to ruin their plan.
"Hey Portlyn!" Sonny said, walking into their room.
"Hey girls! How was practice?" Portlyn said, facing the opposite way so they wouldn't see her evil smile.
"Oh so my fun!" Tawni said, eagerly. "You should have come with us to watch, Portlyn. It was sooo funny!"
"Yeah! It's a Scottish fashion show!" Sonny said laughing. "And Zora, she plays the bagpipes!"
"And the funny part is—" Tawni begins.
"She can't play the bagpipes!" Sonny and Tawni announce together, laughing hysterically.
"Oh wow. That is funny." Portlyn said dryly.
"Ob bes!" said Zora, trying to talk over the taffy.
Grady and Nico walked into there room, laughing almost too loudly.
Chad swiveled around in his car as the door opened. "hello, boys."
"Oh hey Chad."
"Hi Chad."
"How was practice?"
"Oh great!"
"Yeah," Grady said, smiling, "I get to wear a kilt!"
Chad just stared at him quizzically.
"Yeah, well. It was fun." Nico said, trying to recover.
"Was it, boys? Was it really?"
"Yeah it was, Chad."
"Yeah, why you acting so weird?"
"Weird? I'm not acting weird."
"Yeah you are. Like you know something."
"What? No!"
"Ok…"
All of a sudden, Marshall's voice came over the speakers.
"Oh god. So Random! Report to Studio 5…I …just come…now! And Falls! You come too!"
"Wonder what that's about." Said Nico.
"Yeah. Me too." Said Chad, though he knew.
The two casts waited for almost ten minutes before Marshall came out.
"Ok. What the heck is going on?
"What do you mean?" asked Sonny.
"Why aren't you two shows getting along?"
"We are!" said Grady.
"Right! Did you guys see the Prop House?"
The Falls members began to inch towards the doorway.
"Well, no. Why?" asked Nico.
"You mean you didn't go in there today, at all?"
"No, we practiced without the props. Except the bagpipes. Zora had those in the vent." Said Grady.
"Why?!? What happened to the Prop House?" asked Zora.
"It is completely—oh man, I don't know how to tell you guys this—destroyed."
"What?!?!" cried Zora.
"Who would do this to us?"
"I have an answer!" said Marshall.
"Tell us!" cried Tawni.
"THE FALLS!!!!!" yelled Marshall.
They pondered this for a moment. Then they all began to shout, pretending the Falls could not be this evil, when in fact, they knew they were.
"No!"
"Not them!"
"Why would they?"
"We're friends now!"
"They wouldn't!"
"You don't have any proof!" said Chad, angrily.
"That is where you are wrong, Mr. Cooper. Look what I found in Ms. Portlyn's vanity!" Marshall brought cans of cheese, silly string, and shaving crème. They had never seen this side of Marshall, all detective-like.
"Ooooo is there any cheese left in there?" asked Grady, excited. Nico hit him on the back of the head.
Chad whispered to Portlyn. "I told you to get rid of those!"
"You never said where! Besides, my character always hides things in her vanity on the Falls."
"And they always get FOUND!" Chad yelled.
She thought, "…..wait….oh yeah. You're right."
Chad moaned. Then he thought again, "Sonny and blondie share that room too! How do you know they didn't plant it!"
"Give it up, Chad! You're caught! Stop trying to lie your way out of it."
Chad turned his head to Sonny, expecting to be her speaking. But Sonny had not even been paying attention; she was comforting Zora. Chad turned around to find one of the least expected people to be talking.
It was Chastity.
"Chastity, what are you doing?"
"Chad! This feud with the Random's, it's getting ridiculous! They are great people and they have done nothing to us."
"They interrupted—"
"—our rehearsal, so what? We can start over. It's not a big deal! But you messed up everything that was important to them."
"Chastity, shut up!" said Portlyn.
"No! You!"
"I think that's enough for today. Mr. Condor will be informed of what you all did. Tomorrow is only Wednesday, people! Yesterday, another show lost their time slot, yet you two can't get along. I just – I don't know what to say. Report to the Great Hall at noon Thursday. There will be no more tapings or rehearsals until Mr. Condor decides what to do with you—"
Suddenly, the mail man rushed in. "Marshall!"
"What is it now?"
"The Falls fan letters have been shredded and the uniforms that just came back from the cleaners are covered with meat and cheese slices!"
"Alright, who did it? Let's go Random's. Out with it."
Zora jumped up and down and squealed. "I used my cold cut catapult, sir! They deserved it! After what they did to our Prop House! And I shredded their letters too."
"Ugh! See you all tomorrow!" said a very angry Marshall. "it's bad enough I have to deal with my mother!" He slams the door behind him.
All of a sudden, a change goes over the room. An obvious spilt is made as the two casts face each other.
"I can-not believe you, Chad. Dylan. Cooper!"
"You love saying my name, don't you Sonny."
"Uugghhhh!!!!!" Sonny screamed. "You had to stoop that low didn't you!"
"What are you going on about you little bit—" began one of the other guys from the Falls.
"Don't you dare talk to Sonny like that!" said Nico.
Then Chad turned around forcefully, "I got this Skylar."
"Right." Skylar said. "Whatever. But we did this to you because you were being jerks to us!"
"Let me at'em! Let me at'em!" Zora started to scream and charge. But Sonny held her back.
"We didn't do anything—"Began Tawni.
"Oh right—"Began Skylar.
But then Marshall came back. "I forgot. Guess who is staying here all night to clean it up?"
"The Fall!s" So Random! screamed.
"So Random!" The Falls screamed at the same time.
They each then started to yell why the other one should.
"they messed up it."
"It's your house."
"QUIET!" Marshall screamed. "I shouldn't have asked. You BOTH ARE. BOTH CASTS."
Just then, Nigel, the Falls director came out. "YES FALLS! YOU ARE DOING IT TOO!"
Moans came from the Falls side as So Random grinned. They all trotted to the Prop House, very unhappy.
