Chapter 20

Henry Salt came in with the business suit and gavel, but he had beads of sweat dripping on his face. He looked quite more shocked than usual.

Veruca, always expecting her father to be better composed and more business-like, was shocked to find out that her father was in this state of health.

If Daddy looks like this, my plan against Kim will not work! And I would be expelled from school!

She turned to one of the Salt Peanut businesses man that served on the school board and nodded her head.

The businessman declared, "Mr. Salt needs some water, we'll adjourn for a 10-minute recess and then we shall return."

The crowd around them groaned again as a rumble of thunder outside echoed in the distance. All the board members exited the room.

Ron groaned even more and yelled at Veruca while she was walking out, "Booo….Veruca! You destroyed my Mad Dog!"

During the 10-minute break, Veruca was trying to think of a way to force Kim off the squad for good.

She nodded her head to the lawyer. He took out another briefcase and installed an auto-attached red button underneath the desk. Veruca smirked once the lawyer did this.

She then went walked across the aisle and went outside underneath the awning with her lawyer and bodyguard.

_Kim took a very close eye on Veruca's facial expression of the evil grin across her face and her actions as the deb momentarily left the building with her goons. She stroked her chin with her finger and then turned to the high chairs of the school board members.

Hmm…red button underneath the desk? .Something's just not right here…..I need to have another set of eyes to watch this meeting closely…and I think I know just who!

She then whipped out her Kimmunicator and turned it on. Wade then came on screen, sipping on his favorite orange soda.

"Hey, Kim! Anything new?" Wade asked while sipping on the soda.

"Just Veruca getting into trouble again! This time, she's getting suspended from school!" Kim smirked, briefing on what was going on. "But from the look on her face, I do not believe this sitch one bit!"

"Anything else?" Wade questioned, putting the soda aside

"Well, one of her so-called lawyers just put a red button underneath the desk, so I can guess that's not good!" Kim added with suspicion in her voice, "And I know from the past that red buttons are usually the bad type, considering that Ron presses on them a lot!"

"By accident!" Wade corrected Kim, "and twice when Veruca faced the school board for suspension in her entire career and I try to help bust her, my system gets the Restricted access bar and the Veruca Virus, no thanks to her computer servants! And I couldn't overtake it! Oooohhh….I hate it when they try to do this to my system!"

Wade cried of how the Veruca Virus was the bane of his existence. "But when they try to infect my computer system this time, they'll get a surprise of their own!" the tech genius smiled in cracking his knuckles. He pressed a button that made the Kimmunicator grow six robotic legs, three on each side.

The Kimmunicator jumped off Kim's lap and onto the floor. Wade replied from there, "I'll hack into the security system and find out what's really going on behind closed doors!"

"Spankin'! Do that, Wade! In the meantime, I'm gonna show Miss Princess-of-World who's boss around here!" Kim beamed before turning to the empty table on the right side where Veruca was sitting.

Wade, still on-screen, replied "On it, Kim! I'll get to the bottom of this!" The Kimmunicator scurried on the floor to a nearby small air conditioning vent grating. It then opened up the creaky door with the robot legs, closed it, and scurried in the ventilation pipes leading to the other room.

Veruca, meanwhile, went outside underneath the awning of the entrance to the administration building with the lawyer and bodyguard.

She was smiling all the way, "Okay….remember, this plan has been five months in the making! I cannot wait to see the look on Kim's face once it works to perfection!" She then smiled, thinking back to three months ago when she was released from juvenile hall.

(flashback, three months ago, August, a few days before school)

Veruca dusted herself off, looking back at Middleton Juvenille Hall. The dark grey clouds were surrounding the skies with rumbles of thunder of an oncoming storm. Her pink limousine was there, already packed with her white mink coats that she wore within the prison walls for the two months of incarceration in the trunk. Two fiercely loyal bodyguards stood by her side.

She looked up at the darkening skies and exclaimed "Ugh….. Kim may have stopped me two months ago, but now I'm gonna give her hell! I'll think of a plan to really cripple her!" A couple of booms of thunder echoed in the distance as she walked on over to the pink limousine. The bodyguard opened up the door to the limo as the spoiled deb walked inside. The two bodyguards followed.

The limo was decorated with the works: purple interiors, a fancy $8,000 10-disc CD changer with surround sound, and purple lighting.

Once inside, her father was there, smiling. "My Beautiful Princess…welcome home….."

Veruca scoffed and snapped, "Hmph….I don't care, Daddy. Kim took two damn months of my life away from me! And now she's fighting crime instead of taking out my smelly garbage, like she's supposed to!"

Mr. Salt tried to explain with a weak smile, "My daughter, I know it's frustrating, but now you are free to do whatever you….know…..wish!"

Veruca growled at her father, "I don't care about it! Right now, I need something effective to cripple Kim!" She then stared at two small boxes that said "Veruca's Cds" on it.

She turned to one of the bodyguards, "Bodyguard, can you open both these boxes for me?"The bodyguard replied, "Yes, O Holy Veruca!" He took out a box cutter, grabbed the two boxes and opened them with the cutter.

Inside, it was Veruca's failed attempt at music, the album that was so utterly putrid that someone scraping their nails on a chalkboard would seem like a masterpiece.

The two boxes said: Regular version and…. Torture version! It had tracks all around Veruca's life, including insulting and horribly-made songs to her vendettas of Kim, Tara, and Ron on separate tracks.

She then looked at the CD player, grinning and smirked, "Now, bodyguard, put the torture version of my album in the CD changer!"

He took out the CD as expected, but the guard stammered and stopped before he could put it into the changer, "But…but….but….Holy Veruca…..it's gonna destroy everyone's taste in music in…in…in this vehicle."Veruca's smile faded, though she wasn't angry.

"Mmm….that's why headphones were made! To protect the ears!" the deb exclaimed. "But I do need one lab rat for this experiment."

She pressed a little red button on the console as three ordinary-looking wireless headphones popped out on a rack. The deb grabbed a pair of headphones and so did the two bodyguards.

Mr. Salt realized that there weren't any headphones left. He whimpered "What….what are you trying to do, O Most High Veruca? Why….?""

Daddy, I wanna see how long you'll last against my music, that you'll be my test guinea pig! And I don't want any objections from you…you got it?" Veruca glared at her father to make sure he was compliant.

"Oh yes…yes….yes, O Great Veruca, My darling!" Mr. Salt nodded his head as fast as he could in agreement.

Verca smiled and then turned to the bodyguard that was holding her Torture Version CD of the album.

The bodyguard then put the CD in.

The lyrics were described as:

Ohh, I am Veruca

And I'm ready to salt ya…..

I always get what I desire

I plan to set all Cuddlebuddies on fire

I got my party for the weekend

A party filled with drugs and booze

And with all the hot guys I get to choose.

I have all the latest trends

Because the fun never ends…

For me!For me!

Mr. Salt could not take any more of the lyrics and was about to lose his lunch. Veruca then saw this, smiling, and instructed the bodyguard to give her father a barf bag.

Veruca and her two bodyguards were protected by the cordless soundproof headphones that had Britina's music prerecorded in them, so they were not affected by the atrocities of the album that the deb made.

Henry breathed into the barf bag, long and deep into it.

That brought the peanut heiress an evil laugh upon seeing the success of this: her father vomiting into the bag.

Then, it brought an evil idea in that twisted head of hers, "I think I have an idea of crippling Possible once and for all without using the law! But I'm going to have to bide a lot of time between now and when this incident occurs!" She turned to the bodyguard, "You may stop the music now!"

"How long for this plan to execute, O Holy Princess?" the bodyguard whom put in the CD asked as he stopped the music of the player.

"I think the plan should be executed at the end of the football season, when the Mad Dogs go to the playoffs! For I've heard they've had a good team this year!" Veruca spoke softly, "and I'm gonna make trouble with….." And she spoke inaudibly into the bodyguard's ear. The bodyguard took interest in this with a wide smile.

Back to the present day, retreating to the other room, Mr. Salt breathed heavily. The businessman whom served on the council gave him a drink of water. The thunder was still booming outside.

The room was lavishly furnished with a chandelier, nice stools, and plush sofas for the administrator and fine finished-oak wooden walls.

"That was a VERY close call," the businessman insisted, putting the empty cup on the stool, "and the townspeople looked like that they were not very happy!"

"I don't care!" Henry exclaimed before clearing up his throat and removing the beads of sweat on his forehead with a nearby towel that a servant with the number 40 on his shirt gave him. "I will make sure that my darling Veruca's plan works perfectly without a hitch!"

He then turned to Servant 40 and barked "Assemble all of the board members together!" The board members that showed fierce loyalty to Veruca, around nine of them, came around Henry to hear the next phase of the plan.
