Like i said. I'm trying to combine the two movies.
Chapter 9
John gets up and walks to the door. He checks to see Styles sleeping. He always ends up sleeping. John smiles a little as he walks out the door. He wants to make sure no one is out there. He sees the candle guy and the clock dude. They are both talking about something. John slowly walks down the downstairs and into the dining room. He then trips by something that ran to him.
It was a big stool. He gets up rubbing his head.
The stool starts barking at him. John stares wide eyes at the big stool. He wants to run away from it but it was on top of him.
"It…It…can bark" John whispers "But…But…"
"Did you hear that?" ask Shawn
"Yes…it sounded like a bark"
"It must be Bruno…"
Shawn and Hunter both look at each other and gasp.
"The boy!"
They ran to where the sound of the bark was heard. Shawn runs faster than Hunter. Hunter can barely move. He doesn't move just like how Shawn can move. Shawn stops as he sees the big stool on top of John.
"Come here Bruno…" says Shawn
Bruno runs to him and starts playing around him. Hunter catches up but stops as he sees Bruno about to jump him.
"BRUNO!" the dog goes on top of him.
Shawn starts laughing out hard. He then sees John slowly getting up.
"Bruno…?" he asked
"Oh…our dog…"
"What…?" says John
"You know…a dog…those cute animals…that" says Shawn
"I know what a dog is" says John.
"Okay." Laughs Shawn "But what are you doing out here?"
"I…I…got hungry"
Shawn cheers out. "YES!"
John stares at him confused. "Why yes…?"
"Go to the dining room…and we'll meet you there with the food…and something more"
John nods and walks to the room. He stares at the big room and in front of him is a big table. He waits for them.
"This can work" says Shawn
"What can?" ask Hunter
"With the spell…"
"You know…if you disobey the master's orders…he is going to be mad at me" said Hunter "I don't want that"
"Yes…I'll make sure of that…"
Shawn jumps up to the dishes and starts looking at them.
"But did you see him…stand up to the master…" said Shawn "He is the one…They must fall in love if we are ever to turn human again"
Shawn picks up a spoon and throws it to Hunter. He gasps as he dodges the spoon. He sighs in relief; and he follows Shawn.
"How could he fall in love…if he stays in the room?"
Hunter thinks about it. He is still not sure; if this can work.
"Well…the room is comfortable" said Hunter
"Okay…but he can't stay in there forever" says Shawn "You missed a spot"
Shawn throws a dish back in the water. He looks at the dishes and smiles. He knows this is going to work; he hopes it can bring some joy to the young man.
"He is not going to love him" said Hunter
"Wrong my friend…he is" says Shawn "You will see…"
Shawn jumps to the table and rides with it. He then places the spoons; and forks in place. He jumps to the oven.
"It's time to sparkle" yells Shawn
He grabs a spoon and tries the food. He tries it again; wondering what to say.
"You know…you don't have taste buds…." Said Hunter
"Oh right…I don't. But I know this food is delicious" laughs Shawn
He puts the spoon back. He jumps to where Hunter is. He hugs him tight.
"This is going to be fun" said Shawn "I don't think…I can sing like before"
"Sing…?"
"Yes…dinner is now fun without…music"
"NO….music…"
Shawn smiles as he sees Chris walking in. He can't move at all. He is too heavy to be moving around a lot. He is one classical piano; and it's very hard to be moving around.
"Chris….just the guy I wanted to see…"
"Hi guys…"
"Hey…do you still know how to play?" ask Shawn
"It's been a long time since I played…" said Chris "I can give it a try"
"Go on…go on" said Shawn
Chris plays his keys; he is going with the flow; enjoying the music. He then gets carried away and presses the wrong key. All of them flinch along with Chris.
"I'm sorry…" he says
"It's fine…it will all work out" said Shawn
"WHAT?!" yelled Hunter
"It will…Chris can still play"
"And I mess up too…" said Chris
"Don't worry…" said Shawn "It will be great"
"Okay...let's do it" says Chris
"Alright…I know what to sing"
"Okay fine…but please play quietly" said Hunter
"No…the louder the better"
Shawn starts running.
"Let's get it started" yells Shawn
He runs out the door and Hunter follows after him. The door closes fast; making Hunter get hit by it. He flies back; hitting the ground hard.
"Ouch…that hurt. I'm surprised I haven't broken yet" He says "I hope the master doesn't hear this"
Shawn jumps on the table scaring John. He then hears some music playing. He gasps as he listens closely to the orchestra music.
"Hello…my young man. It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure, that we welcome you tonight" said Shawn "And now…we invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair as the dining room proudly presents"
Chris walks in as he starts playing his solo. He hasn't done it in a long while; he hopes he doesn't mess up. Shawn smiles knowing he is playing it right. He was about to say his line but Chris hits the wrong key. Shawn and John flinch along Chris, but he quickly fixed it.
"Your dinner"
Shawn looks down. John just stares at him.
"Be…our…guest. Be out guest…" sings Shawn "Put our service to the test, tie your napkin around your neck, boy. And we'll provide the rest"
Shawn keeps singing as John listens carefully to the music. He is enjoying it. He never knew they know music. Hunter tries to tell them to be a little quiet. He goes around trying to stop the dishes. Shawn jumps on him and makes him fall on his face.
"We only live to serve, try the grey stuff its delicious. Don't believe me….ask the dishes"
Shawn gives him the grey stuff. John doesn't gets some because as he reaches the plates moves away.
"They can sing, they can dance, and after all…this is the castle. And a dinner is never second best. Go on, unfold your menu. Take a glance and then you'll be out guest, our guest, be our guest"
The plates start walking by John; he tries to grab each food Shawn is listing. He can't even get one taste. He got the menu but they didn't let him order; or even look at it long enough.
"While the flatware's entertaining. We tell jokes, I do tricks, with my fellow candlestick" Shawn starts juggling his candles. John smiles.
"And it's all in perfect taste that you can be, come on and lift your glass, you've won your own free pass. To be out guest, if you're stressed. It's fine dining, we suggest you be our guest, be our guest, be our guest"
"I can't get…any food….they won't let me" said John but Shawn just ignored him.
The music starts slowing down; and going lower than the upbeat. John sees the light dimming down; to only he can see Shawn. He grabs Hunter and makes him stand on the spotlight. Hunter just smiles shyly.
Shawn goes up to him and hugs him with one arm. "Life is so unnerving, for a servant who's not serving, He's not whole without a soul to wait upon, ah those good old days when we were useful…right Hunter"
John listens to them; carefully. The music is good and he is now feeling sorry for them. He wishes he can do something, but the music kept going. Stephanie pops out and lands on a table. John jumps a little and looks at her.
"I'll get warm, piping hot, Heaven's sakes! Is that a spot?," She yells as she sees Shane covered dirt. She cleans it up. "Clean it up, we want the company impressed" she sings "We've got a lot to do! Is it one lump or two? For you, our guest (she's our guest) She's our guest (she's our guest).
John enjoys the music and starts dancing along. Hunter on the other tries to stop them with all he got. It is no use; Hunter wants to give up but what if the master hears it. He doesn't want to get in trouble. He forgets all about that and starts going along. The music is solo; so they start having fun with everything they got. Hunter starts dancing with the plates; and now joins Shawn.
"Course by course" yells Hunter as he starts singing. Shawn joins him now. "One by one…till you shout enough I'm done!"
John looks in awe as everything lights up and starts going with the music. He smiles wide as he starts clapping with the beat. He watches the others dance in front of him. He can't believe how magical and beautiful it is. Hunter starts wearing a hat and starts dancing with Shawn.
Shawn starts spinning around with the music.
"Be our guest, Be our guest, Be our guest, please be our guest!" they all yelled. John notices the food is going away; along with the napkins and drinks. He tries to reach for one plate but misses. He look at Shawn who is running towards him. The music stops and John looks around to see that everything is gone.
"Pudding?" ask Shawn as he hands him a plate.
"What…?" ask John. He then starts laughing as he takes it. "Thank you. That was amazing!"
Shawn places the food in front of him.
"Wonderful" laughs John.
"Thank you…thank you" says Hunter "We all did our part…"
Shawn rolls his eyes and hugs him.
"Hunter…did really well…am I right?"
Shawn kissed his cheek. Hunter blushes and turns away. He starts ticking faster but tries to remain calm. Shawn turns him around to look at John.
"We all been practicing that for a while"
"Amazing…I never knew ya'll had music here"
"Of course…music is everything" laughs Shawn
"I know…" smiles John as he thinks about his town. The town doesn't believe that. He hopes that can change later on.
"Now now…enjoy the pudding" said Shawn
"Oh right"
John starts eating it.
"Umm…this is good" says John as he keeps eating.
"Thank you…our chef made it"
"Amazing…"
John finishes his food and sits there for a while.
"Now…off to your room you go" said Stephanie
"I'm...I'm…not tired" John yawns.
"Come on…" she says.
"Okay…"
John gets up and follows Stephanie. He then stops as he sees the stairs to the west wing. He takes one step towards it. Shawn and Hunter get in front of him; making him stop.
"What's in the west wing?" ask John
"Nothing…just old stuff" said Shawn
"Come on…I want to see"
"No you can't…it's lot's of junk" said Hunter
"Come on…one look"
"No..no…come on…let's look at something else like uumm…" said Hunter but he can't think of anything.
"The music room" said Shawn
"The music room" John lights up and smiles wide. "Really?"
"Yes…come on"
"How about tomorrow" said Stephanie "He needs some rest"
"Sounds good" said Shawn with a smile. "Good night…"
Hunter says his goodnight and walks after Shawn.
"I still want to know what's up there" said John
"Oh nothing for you to worry about" she says "No go on"
"But…"
"It's late…go on to bed. The west wing is nothing"
John nods and walks to his side of the stairs. Stephanie smiles and goes to catch up with Shawn and Hunter. John stops and he looks at the west wing. He takes one deep breath and takes one steps towards the west wing.

More to come…
