Eddie cringed when he heard the girls screaming bloody murder again. They screamed often, and it hurt his delicate ears.
"HOLY SHIT SHE CRAWLED OUT OF THE FREAKING TV!" Sahari screamed.
"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!" Seiko was screeching. Eddie shivered. He had never seen a horror movie before, so he wasn't sure what "The Ring" was even about, but they would often scream what was going, and Dustin would even tell him through alerts.
Dustin: HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT SHE CAME OUT OF THE DAMN SCREEN D:
Eddie: STOP TELLING ME!
He set the system down and closed his eyes. He tried to go other places, like back at the P-Factor, where Patch is there with a lovely Chewnicorn, and where he's helping his dad-
"KILL HIM ALREADY!" Maxime screamed in a frustrated tone. Eddie screamed, and was thankfully covered by the screams of the other girls. He hugged his legs in.
Oh my GOD! That was close! He jumped when his Alert System vibrated again. He picked it up shakily.
Dustin: Dude... You scream like a girl. Seriously.
Eddie started to type a very long rant.
Dustin glared at his alert system.
"GOD! That rant of his ruined it!" He hissed, stuffing it into his pocket. Seedos stopped writing and looked at him.
"How?"
"It spammed my system- What are you writing?" Dustin asked, pointing to the tattered up journal in Seedos's hands. Seedos's cheeks started to burn.
"Nothing..."
"Oh come on let me see it!"
"No!"
"Why not?"
"Because- HEY" Seedos screamed out as Dustin swiped the journal out of his hands and started to read it. Seedos reached for it, trying to take it back. Dustin stuck his foot in his face, using that to hold the seed merchant back.
"... Your writing down notes about the girls?" Dustin asked, giving Seedos a long, lingering look. Seedos nodded.
"Y-yeah!" Only because Dastardos said I should!
"Dude, you know the real reason we are here for, right?"
"... To learn about girls?" Dustin shook his head.
"Oh Seedamor... We have much to discuss..."
Leafos held a pillow over her head, biting her lower lip. She squeaked whenever the other girls would start screaming, or when Maxime would go "GOD, How awesome was that? HA!"
"Leafos? Are you alright?" Seiko whispered to her cowering cousin. Leafos dared herself to look up.
"Yeah... I- I'm fine..." Leafos said. Seiko looked uncertain.
"Are... You scared of the movie?"
"No! Of course not! It's really fake-"
"AHHH HOLY SHIT!" Sahari shreiked. Leafos screamed as well, covering her eyes again.
"Hey guys? Can you please, like, get me out of here?" Petula's voice called from the basement. Maddie turned around angrily.
"SHUT UP IT'S ALMOST THE END OF THE MOVIE!" She screamed. She turned back to the TV, only to see the credits.
"... Well damn." She muttered, sinking into her seat a little. Maxime looked at her angrily.
"Yeah. You screamed during the ending. Thank you." She grumbled, throwing her pillow onto the ground. Maddie gave out a nervous laugh.
"Yeah sorry..." She said, getting up, "I'm getting a drink, anyone want anything?" Which of course, was a bad question to ask.
"Yeah! Can you get me a water?"
"I need a snack. Grab me something, okay?"
"Can I get another soda?"
"I'll take a water too!"
"... Okay..." Maddie said. She walked out of the living room, into the kitchen. She made a quick stop by the fridge, grabbing whatever she needed, before setting them onto the counter and heading over to the pantry. She opened the door, her face falling at the sight.
"I think these would fix your friends never ending hunger, what do you say?" Dastardos asked, holding out a bag of chips to Maddie's face. Maddie slammed the pantry door and ran back out into the living room.
"GUYS! GUYS!" Maddie shrieked, skidding to a stop right away.
"AND SO THEN, she's riding off like the wind! She looked so cute on that red bike... It was great until-"
"DAD!"
"OH HEY MADDIE! I was telling your gal-pals about that time you rode a bike for the first time and got ran over by Patch during an emergancy!" Willy said loudly. Leafos was cracking up with Seiko, and Sahari was literally rolling around on the floor laughing. Maxime was shaking her head, trying not to laugh all that hard. Maddie's face flushed, and quickly turned to anger.
"DAD! THERE'S A PINATA REAPER IN OUR PANTRY AND YOUR TALKING ABOUT MY CHILDHOOD?" She screamed. Willy gave her a funny look.
"... I don't know what your talking about, but can you get me a soda?"
"DAD! DASTARDOS IS IN OUR HOUSE!" Maddie shrieked, pulling at her hair. Willy blinked.
"Oh Maddie! You shouldn't pull your hair! It will fall out and you will look like me sooner then you think!" He said, slapping his leg as he fell into a hearty laugh. Sahari stood up.
"Okay, let me see," She said, pushing past the builder girl. Maddie fallowed her in, ignoring her dad's comment saying "If she wanted some alone time with her girlfriend she could have just said so!"
"Right there, in the pantry!" She said. Sahari gave out a huff.
"I think you finally have gone crazy." She said, opening the pantry. She gasped loudly.
"Do you see him?"
"Yes... I see-" Sahari said, whipping out the bag of chips, "NACHO CHEESE CHIPS!" Sahari threw the bag at Maddie, who caught it, with a surprised expression on her face.
"Move." She said, going over to the pantry. She looked inside.
Dastardos wasn't there.
"W-Wha- He was just right there!" Maddie stammered, turning to Sahari, who was looking inside the bag. The desert girl looked up.
"... Maybe the movie freaked you out more then I thought."
"What does the movie have to do with Dastardos?"
"I don't know. Your scared of him-"
"I'm no-"
"SHUT UP! Your scared, and you might have thought you saw Dastardos?"
"... I'm not scared of Dastardos."
"Your hopeless." Sahari said, leaving the kitchen. Maddie made a face at her as she left.
"... He was in here." She muttered to herself, turning to get the drinks she set onto the counter. Her face fell into disbelief when she saw Dastardos laying there on the counter, holding one of the bottles of water out to her.
"Can't keep your guests waiting, can you?" He smirked. Maddie stared at him for the longest time, then ran out of the kitchen screaming.
