After Penelope and Veronica made the bus forget about Lil Gert and Fiona, the remaining Fortnite bois passed the Ashes Anklet to them.

"We don't know what this is, do you want it?" They asked. Veronica and Penelope now posses the power of the Spoon and the Ashes Anklet, along with the greatest power of all... writing fanfiction.

Penelope twiddled the anklet in her fingers as policemen roamed up and down the bus isle identifying the situation. Veronica fiddled with the spoon. The chief of police sauntered over to Mr. S and whispered something in his ear. Mr. S nodded and clasped his hands together.

"Alright everyone listen up!" He called. "The Policemen are going to go around the bus and ask you all a few questions, so just be sure to answer their questions honestly and politely. Thanks!" Penelope and Veronica looked at each other.

"What do we do? What do we say?" Veronica asks. Penelope rolls her eyes.

"We lie, obviously." She responded. Veronica rolled her eyes.

"Fine." She responded.

The policemen wandered around interrogating students left and right. They asked about deaths and injuries and students answered honestly, except for Veronica and Penelope .

"Do you know anything about Kailee and Jacob Sarrrrrrrtorius?" The cop asked.

"No sir." Veronica answered. A student bumped into the police officer.

"Hey be careful there, don't bump me. Especially not on my gun side." Veronica and Veronica couldn't help but laugh. Who calls it a gun side?

The cop asked a few more questions and then trailed around and collected more info.

"Alright everyone listen up!" The chief called out. Everyone quieted down immediately.

"I will now alert you all of what happened. Janine was not wearing her seatbelt, and she crashed into her tray, which knocked her into a coma," Janine was carries out on a stretcher. "Kailee had a condition where when she had what the kids call a "broken heart" she would grow weak and feeble, and when she crashed she was in that state, meaning she had a higher risk of dying," Kailees body was carried away in a sack. "Jacob Sartrtroutiroous was..." the police officer looks at the Fortnite bois, who shake their heads violently. "In an...awkward position when he passed. His body wasn't found though." Whispers arose from tje crowd of people and rumours spread like the plague.

"QUIET!" The police chief hushes. "We will be conducting no more research, but you still cannot leave for another hour or two because we need to repair the bus. Thank you for you're time." And then he and his crew left.

Penelope and Veronica slouched back into their seats, and Penelope whipped and then whipped out her phone, opening the Notes app.

"Ready?" Penelope asked.

"Sure I guess." Veronica responded. Penelopes fingers flew across the keyboard like birds across a lake. She dudn't stop for nothing, not even spelling erorrs or grammar mistakes. Penelope typed for hours as Veronica caught some shut eye.

About an hour or two later

After Penelope had finished the second chapter, she presented it to Veronica , Sasha, and Emma. They laughed about it as they read and Penelope smiled proudly.

"This is incredible," Emma stated in a state of awe. Veronica whispered to Penelope ;

"If what happened in the first chapter came true, what will happen to this one? Will Emma be killed by a gang of muppets?" Veronica asked worriedly.

"Of course not," Penelope psshed.

"Okay..." Veronica rubbed her shoulder as if she had an injury there, but really she was just nervous. Penelope began to type chapter 3 as Veronica spat out ideas, and the bus started again. Everyone cheered and hollered except for the Fortnite bois, who were still grieving the loss of their team carrier. Veronica and Penelope smiled at each other and high fived. They were going home.

The next day, everyone arrived at school exhausted, even though they had an extra hour of sleep because it was late start Wednesday. Everything went on, for the most part, normally, except for the fact that the Fortnite Bois were still grieving, along with kailee's friends. Janine's friends visited her in the hospital in the morning before school, but she wasn't awake yet.

Veronica twiddled to spoon in her fingers. Penelope rolled her eyes.

"Will you stop flashing that everywhere? Someone's going to ask eventually." She explained.

"Sorry." Veronica rolled her eyes and placed the spoon into her backpack. No one else was at the table, but still, Penelope spoke in a hushed voice.

"Why would Lil Gert need to kill us? She said we knew too much about her, but what's so important to know about her that we would need to be eliminated for?" She asked

"I don't know, maybe she wants more clothes?" Veronica joked. Penelope rolled her eyes.

"Now's not the time for jokes." She stated. Veronica rolled her eyes.

"Just trying to lighten up the mood." She rolled her eyes. Penelope glanced at her phone case, not noticing that Lil Gert had disappeared from it before the bus crashed. Penelope sighed.

"We have to figure out what's happening." She said solemnly. Veronica nodded in agreement.

In Orchestra

Penelope sat in the music room with many people, but was separated from Veronica , the other element holder. She rolled her eyes as she unpacked her oak violin and glanced over at Emma who was rosining the bow to her cello. Penelope sat in her seat as the bell rang so she wouldn't lose points. Sasha sat behind her one row. Mr. B, the music teacher, began his 34343434 hour long talk and Penelope and Emma laughed silently as they mouthed "34" to each other across the room. Don't ask what 34 is. Mr. B rambled on and on and yelled at A group of annoying boys a few times when suddenly, a loud helicopter flew over the roof and barely missing it. Everyone sat in shock. Penelope had seen a figure in the helicopter. A green frog-like figure that appeared to be a puppet. No, not a puppet, a muppet.

"THE MUPPETS!" She blurted out as Mr. B ran to the Vice Principal to investigate. Emma ducked under the piano as the helicopter swooped around another time. Now a copter headlight was shining through the window. Penelope crossed the room and yanked Emma's arm.

"COME ON!" Penelope yelled.

"WAIT!" Emma yelled back, pointing at the skylight. Penelope looked up as a ladder crashed through the ceiling and the screaming began. Emma patted her pocket and grabbed Penelopes arm, breaking into a sprint towards the front of the school. Penelopes last glimpse of the room as they ran was Kermit the Frog attacking Sasha , and she let out a screech as they ran towards The office. Emma made a sharp turn and swung the doors open. Obviously, she couldn't say what was really happening, they would never believe her. Instead, she presented a fair claim.

"Hi, we're from Leadership. Are we allowed to use the PA shstem to call someone to the front please?"

"Go ahead." An office lady said. The two speedwalked to the nurse's office and picked up the PA thingy, switching it on, and the chime rang throughout the school.

"Veronica, please come to the front kffice, Veronica Smith, please come to the front office, thank you." She hung it up quick and sprinted with Penelope to meet Veronica halfway.

"What is it?" Veronica panted. Penelope yanked her arm and pulled her towards the music room as Emma ran off the campus towards the park. They darted in and muppets surrounded the place with guns, searching and prodding and invading everyone's privacy. Sasha was on the ground, blood trickling from her forehead. Not dead, luckily, just knocked out by Kermit's gun. As Veronica and Penelope stepped into the room, all the Muppets pointed their guns at them. Veronica held the spoon out in front of her and Penelope reached for the anklet. She gasped.

"Veronica , where's the anklet?" She whisper screamed.

"I don't know, did you drop it?"

"Maybe?"

"Check Lost and Found."

Ms. Piggy crossed the floor and clicked the trigger against Veronicas head.

"Ms. Piggy! No!" Kermit yelled. Veronica touched the ruby and all the muppets fell into a daze of confusion. All of them, except Uncle Deadly, who held his palm up defensively.

"I would be careful how you use that thing," he stated as the other muppets climbed back into the helicopter. "You wouldn't want to confuse the wrong person." He stated mysteriously. He gripped the ladder as the helicopter took off, carrying him away with it. Everyone sat in silence with their jaws dropped.

Suddenly, the classroom erupted with noise. People were screaming and yelling and pulling out their phones. Veronica and Penelope both grappled the spoon, and everyone in the room became confused, and all sat in the wrong seats. Mr. B sauntered back in.

"Let's tune." He stated, and the class continued with Sasha still knocked out on the ground.

Lunch

Emma was nowhere to be seen, so Veronica and Penelope snuck off campus and ran to the psrk silently. When the arrived, they searched everywhere. The slides, the swings, the tunnels, everywhere. But Emma was nowhere to be found. Penelope tapped her chin and rolled her eyes. Veronica scratched her head. Penelope realized something.

"Wait a second, Veronica , I think Emma stole my anklet."

"What?"

"Before we left she patted her pocket, and my anklet wasn't missing until then." Penelope and Veronica widened their eyes. Penelope tried to call Emma , but it instantly went to voicemail.

"What do we do?" She asked. Veronica pushed up her glasses.

"We have to find her." Veronica responded. Penelope rolled her eyes.

"Duh genius, how?"

"I think our best bet is talking to Sasha ." Veronica responded, and they ran back to school.
