Here's Lucie's Chapter :)
I know they don't have their gerbils anymore but it seemed like a good thing to put in :)
It was about eight o'clock when I woke up to Vanessa swearing and screaming. I rolled over and groaned.
'What's the matter?' I mumbled with my eyes still closed. I opened them. She was standing about two metres away from her bed. 'What's the matter?' I repeated. She pointed a shaking finger at her bed. Sitting on top of her pillow was a massive black spider.
'I woke up and it was dangling in my face!!!' she cried hysterically. Sophie got up from her bed. Vanessa came and sat on the end of my bed, her whole body shaking.
'What's up?' came a sleepy and annoyed voice from the doorway. Half the McFly guys were standing there with only shorts and bare feet and messy hair, as usual. (Tom and Dougie). Harry and Danny appeared a short while after.
'Sp, sp, spi, spider,' Vanessa stuttered pointing to her bed. The spider was just sitting there looking at us.
'You woke us up for that?' Harry exclaimed, squinting his eyes from the light from the window.
'Sorry, but I don't like them it's not my fault I screamed,' Vanessa exclaimed.
'I think Sophie can get it out of here, she's had more sleep than us,' Dougie said yawning and rubbing his eyes. Sophie reluctantly got a magazine off the floor and walked over to the spider and scooped it onto the magazine.
'Where do I put it?' she asked keeping a close eye on the spider.
'Out the window,' Tom said, running his fingers through his hair and yawning.
Suddenly the spider started running towards her fingers. She screamed and dropped it. The spider scuttled away under Vanessa's bed again.
'You try,' Sophie said handing the magazine to me. I bent down carefully next to Vanessa's bed. It was sitting about half a metre away from me. I put the magazine under it, carefully lifted it out, and then put it out the window.
'Not that hard,' I said and went and sat back on my bed and leaned my head against a poster of Tom Delonge stuck on the wall, closing my eyes and pulling the blankets over my legs.
'Aren't you scared of spiders?' Danny asked me.
'No, just blood and bugs,' I said.
'What are you scared of Vanessa...other than spiders?' he asked.
'Snakes,' she replied.
'Sophie?'
'The dark,' she shuddered. I closed my eyes and groaned.
'It's too early,' I moaned. 'I like sleeping in,' I added.
'So that's why whenever I ring your house before eleven o'clock your Mum always says you're busy,' Sophie grinned.
'Yup busy sleeping,' I replied and opened my eyes and sat up straighter.
'Why are you sitting there?' I asked Vanessa who was sitting on Sophie's bed.
'Cos there are probably more spiders in my bed waiting to kill me,' she replied, still shaking.
'Yeah, I'm sure there is,' Harry said sarcastically.
'No that spider probably had a family and they moved into my bed!' she wailed while everyone cracked up.
'They're probably under my pillow or something,' she added.
'So where're you sleeping tonight then?' asked Tom.
'On the floor I guess, but I'm not getting back into that bed until it's been checked for spiders by someone other than me,' she replied.
'Fine,' Tom said and went and picked up her pillow. 'No spiders,' he said.
'Pillow case?' she replied. Tom tipped the pillowcase upside down. The pillow fell out, along with a pair of undies. Dougie and Danny snickered and Vanessa turned bright red as she quickly picked them up and stuffed them in her bag.
'Okay, good but what about all the sheets and stuff?' she replied, her cheeks still pink. He grabbed all the sheets off the bed and shook them then threw them on the ground.
'There you go, no spiders anywhere,' he said. 'But you'll have to remake the bed cos I'm not,' he said and sat down on the floor next to my bed.
'I'll make it later,' Vanessa walking over to her bag.
'Why are we all here lads?' Danny asked, looking around at Harry, Tom and Dougie, who all kept yawning and for some reason, they all had the same habit of running their fingers through their hair, messing it up even more. They all shrugged at him. Vanessa pulled out a packet of jelly snakes out of her bag and opened them.
'Where did they come from?' asked Dougie.
'I got them yesterday for tomorrow night,' she said passing them around.
'What else have you got?' I asked.
'Chocolate, lollies, lots,' she replied.
'Sophie, that's enough for you,' Vanessa said as Sophie reached for more. 'You on a sugar high?' Not good,' Vanessa said and threw the packet to Dougie who was sitting on the opposite side of the room. Sophie usually goes hyper after too much sugar. Every second day at school she goes to the canteen and ends up talking so fast no one can understand her. Dougie put the snakes away in Vanessa's bag.
'Please, one more?' asked Sophie.
'No, that's enough,' Vanessa said.
'Please, please, please?' asked Sophie then she started singing Please, Please.
'If you can catch,' said Dougie getting them back out. He threw one to Sophie who caught in her mouth.
'You guys are just as bad as us,' Danny said watching Sophie try to fit the whole snake in her mouth without using her hands and failing miserably.
'I think she's already high,' Dougie said.
'You should see her after a whole packet of them,' I said, remembering Vanessa's birthday party the year before where Sophie ate a whole packet then kept us up all night with her talking.
'Can I have one more?' Sophie asked Dougie hopefully.
'One, that's it,' Dougie replied and handed her one. She ate it slowly; pulling off little bits at a time until it was gone.
'You'd make an awful father Doug, you give in too easy,' Tom said. Dougie shrugged.
'I think we'll get her out of here so she can't beg for more,' Danny said.
'But she'll sneak them,' Vanessa said.
'Hide them then,' Danny replied. Dougie threw the packet back to Vanessa.
'Come on,' Tom said walking towards the door.
Everyone followed except for Vanessa who quickly stuffed the packet under my pillow and then followed us down.
'Hey Doug and Nessa I'll race you down the stairs,' Sophie said.
'Alright,' Vanessa and Dougie replied slowly.
'One condition though, you can't walk, run, skip, etc,' Sophie added.
'Ohhkay...' Vanessa replied looking confused.
'Don't look confused that's my job most of the time,' Sophie replied sitting down on the top stair. Vanessa and Doug realised what she was doing and did the same thing.
'You say go,' Sophie said to Harry.
'Okay 1, 2, 3 go!' they started sliding down the steps, Sophie winning and Danny, Harry, Tom and me walking down behind them. Sophie won. I had a look at the clock. Nine o'clock in the morning. Sophie was still bouncing around everywhere.
'Hey Sophie see how many laps around the couch you can get in ten minutes,' Tom said.
'Okay,' she said and started running.
'Maybe it'll wear her out,' Tom whispered to me.
The boys all disappeared for around half an hour before breakfast, while we all got dressed and stuff.
I struggled through breakfast again one handed. Towards the end, Tom had started feeding me. Sophie had calmed down again. After breakfast Harry whispered something to Dougie, who walked over to us.
'Hey do you guys wanna meet Jerry?' he asked.
'Who's that?' Vanessa asked.
'You'll see,' he said, leading us up the stairs to his room that was plastered with Blink 182 posters. It had blue curtains and a green and blue doona cover. I noticed a 2004 S-Club Juniors calendar on the wall, with Frankie, the picture for September on the front. I grinned to myself and followed him. He went over to a tank on the other side of his room. I finally remembered who it was. Dougie's lizard! He got Jerry out sat him gently on his shirt where he clung onto him with his claws. He was were pretty cute, but Vanessa wouldn't come near him, only when Dougie told her he'd give her a kiss on the cheek if she patted Jerry, did she come over and got the much promised kiss. Dougie prised Jerry off his shirt and placed him back in his cage, dropping a dead mouse in for him then washing his hands in his bathroom.
'I thought you had another one called Zukie,' Sophie said as Dougie dried his hands on a white towel.
'Yeah, he's gone to Lizard heaven,' Dougie sighed sadly.
'Aw, Doug,' Sophie said sympathetically and we all gave him a group hug. He did look pretty upset about it.
Danny came up with Tom and Harry and took us into his room to a little cage on the floor.
'This is my gerbil Bruce,' he said, proudly putting him on his hand.
'Awwww he's so cute!' Sophie cooed, holding her hands out. Danny dropped Bruce on her small, delicate hands. Harry got his one out and put it on Vanessa's hands.
'Ow! He bit me!' Sophie shrieked, dropping him and wiping the little drop of blood off her finger. Danny shot his hands forward and quickly grabbed him by the tail.
'What a catch!' Tom exclaimed in disbelief.
'Watch it!' he exclaimed, patting Bruce gently on the head with one finger.
'Aw Brucey, did she drop you?' Danny soothed in a baby voice, kissing him lightly on the head and putting him on my hands. Vanessa handed Travis to Tom, who stroked his fur. Dougie was standing back, scratching his arms frantically.
'I'm going...ARCHOO!' he sneezed. '...back down,' he continued, wiping his nose.
'Here come on Doug, I'll come with you,' Harry said, slapping Dougie's hands away from his arms. 'Don't itch,' he scolded, pinning his arms behind him and turning him round to face us as he went to walk him down the stairs. He had an angry red rash all up his forearms. Harry led him out of the room, keeping hold tightly of his hands. I carefully passed Bruce back to Danny, who put him in his cage, then took Travis off Tom and put him in the cage too. We walked back down the stairs to find Harry rubbing some cream into a grumpy looking Dougie's arms.
'I. Can. Do. It. Myself.' Dougie said through gritted teeth, smacking Harry's hand away.
'Fine, do it yourself then,' Harry said huffily, passing him back the tube, then wiping his hands on Dougie's face, who shrieked and went to punch him in the back, but Harry dodged and Dougie smacked his hand into the coffee table, knocking off a lamp. The lampshade fell off and rolled across the carpeted floor. They both dived on each other, knocking stuff off the coffee tables and throwing pillows around the room. They both jumped up as Tom cleared his throat.
'Come on, let's go before there's no house left,' Harry giggled, grabbing his wallet off the bench and throwing Tom his and walking out the door, clutching Tom's hand and skipping down the street. Danny tried hiding a smile and followed them, grasping Dougie and Sophie's hand. I giggled and followed them, closing the door.
Vanessa left to see Jake again so we decided to go for a walk. It was fun. I didn't even realise I'd dropped my wallet out of my pocket. I was walking along talking to Danny about his gerbil when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around to see a gorgeous guy about my age holding my purple and blue wallet. He had blonde hair with brown streaks through it and brown eyes and could've been an Aussie surfer guy.
'You dropped this back there,' he said in a voice that melted my insides. It was sort of a mix of Danny and Dougie's accents; Danny's accent was stronger mix than Dougie's though. It sounded like the voice of an angel. (Or what one should sound like, cos I'd never actually heard one before).
'Thanks so much,' I replied taking my wallet from him, trying my best not to say something stupid.
'Cool nail polish,' he said awkwardly, pointing at my neon coloured striped nails thanks to Vanessa's handiwork.
'Thanks,' I said again, feeling like I was in shock. Sophie and McFly had kept walking so I went to catch up with them when he put his hand on my shoulder.
'What's your name?' he asked.
'Lucie,' I replied. So we started walking and talking. I found out his name was Zac and he was fifteen.
'Want to sit down?' he asked in his accent pointing to seat. I took another glance in front of me at Sophie and McFly.
'They'll wait,' I thought to myself. 'Yeah sure,' I replied.
'What happened there?' he asked pointing at my arm that was all bandaged and my stupid sling.
'Fell down some stairs,' I replied.
'Bummer, where're you from in Australia?' he replied.
'You noticed the accent then I guess,' I grinned.
'Yeah,' he replied.
'Victoria, down the bottom,' I replied.
'Are you here on holiday?' he asked.
'Um, sort of, me and my friends won a competition to stay with McFly for a week, so yeah,' I replied.
'Yeah, I saw you with them before. They're alright musos aren't they? I want to go Australia, it looks so nice,' he said.
'Yeah, it's winter there though so it's not very nice,' I replied.
'Okay, but is it nice in summer?'
'Hot!' I replied. 'Well I really better go, they're probably waiting for me,' I said and stood up. 'Thanks so much for my wallet,' I added.
'That's okay,' he said scribbling something onto a piece of paper.
'Here, text me,' he said handing it to me, his fingers brushing my hand. They were warm and soft and gave me electric jolts all through my body, taking my breath away.
'Okay, bye,' I said breathlessly and started walking quickly in the direction McFly had gone.
They were waiting for me around the corner grinning mischievously at me. For some unknown reason Danny was whistling.
'So what's his name?' asked Tom.
'Um, Zac,' I replied.
'How old?' asked Danny, grinning.
'Fifteen,' I replied.
'Do you think he's cute?' asked Dougie.
'I guess so,' I said.
'Did you get his number?' asked Harry.
'Yes!' I shouted.
'Okay, that's all we need to know,' Dougie grinned evilly, rubbing his hands together excitedly and the rest of them laughed and hi-fived each other.
'He looked really cute,' Sophie whispered to me.
'Yeah,' I whispered back.
'Can we get some more stuff for tomorrow night because I don't think Vanessa has enough left,' said Sophie.
'And why would that be?' asked Danny.
'Don't look at me!' Sophie replied as every head turned towards her. 'I didn't eat much,' she added quietly.
We got all the lollies, chips and everything else we needed, but no Smarties. We had wanted to buy them but Harry said we couldn't.
'Why?' Sophie asked.
'Because someone goes hyper on the blue ones,' he replied, putting his arm around Dougie like he was his son. Dougie grinned and ducked out from under Harry's arm and went over to Danny who was at the chocolate section. Dougie snuck back with three packets of Smarties and put them into our bag, without anyone but me seeing. He put his finger to his lips and winked at me. His arms were still all red with little tiny bumps on them. It was interesting watching them get their favourite lollies...I don't think Danny could've fitted more chocolates in the bag if he tried!
As we headed back Sophie grabbed my arm and pulled me back behind the guys who were busy because a group of girls had just mobbed them and were demanding photos and autographs.
'Do you want to get Harry back, so we can get him back worse than he got us?' she whispered.
'Sure. What did you have in mind?'
'Just wait till we get back to the house and you'll find out.'
When we got back Vanessa was sitting on the step.
'Where's what's-his-name?' Danny asked.
'Didn't work out,' she shrugged.
'Are you okay then?' asked Danny.
'Yeah, fine,' she replied.
'Sure?'
'Yeah, it would've been hard once we went back anyway,' she replied.
'Okay,' he replied and we walked inside.
'So what's this plan?' I asked Sophie quietly.
'Just wait and see.'
She walked up to Harry's room so Vanessa and I followed her. He was playing drums. She grabbed one of his drum sticks and threw it out the open window.
'What'd you do that for?' he yelled in his posh English accent and went downstairs to get it. Sophie followed him and as he went outside she locked the door behind him. She sprinted around the house and locked all the other doors that led outside.
Harry got his drumstick and tried to open the door to come back inside. When he realised it wasn't open he started banging on it. We sat at the window and pulled faces at him.
'What's happening?' asked Dougie from behind us. We quickly pulled the curtain shut.
'Nothing,' Sophie replied. Dougie gave us a suspicious look then went over to the curtain and opened it.
'Did you girls lock him out?' he asked closing it again, but not before he gave Harry the finger and made a few faces at him. We nodded. '
Well done leave him there for say, around an hour or so, then let him back in,' he said and left the room. We continued making faces at Harry. He sat down on the step and put his back to us.
We left him out there for about an hour, as Dougie had said, then it was lunchtime so we decided to be nice and let him back in.
'I'm gonna get you girls back so bad,' he said as he sat down at the table to the burgers that Tom, Danny and Dougie had made.
'That'll be a bit hard because we'll only be here another full day.' 'Oh, my God!! We're only here another day!' Sophie shrieked.
'Anyway it wasn't our fault you were out there that long, Dougie told us to leave you out there for so long,' Vanessa replied.
'Oi, you aren't supposed to tell him that!!!' Dougie exclaimed.
'Ooops. N-n-n-no they're lying!' Dougie stuttered. Tom and Danny started cracking up.
'Yup, we believe you mate,' Danny grinned, hitting Dougie over the head. Dougie stuck his tongue out at him then bit Danny's arm, leaving teeth marks. Danny pushed Dougie's head away and flicked him in the back of the head.
'Never mind, I will get you girls back,' Harry said and went back to eating.
'How are your injuries going Luce?' asked Tom.
'Sore as usual,' I replied.
'What did you think it would tickle?' asked Danny.
'No, I just didn't think it'd hurt this much,' I replied poking my arm.
'Well you have your personal assistants to help you,' Dougie said pointing to Vanessa cutting my sandwich in half.
'What do you girls want to do for the rest of the day?' asked Tom.
'Wait a minute,' Vanessa said and ran upstairs. She came back carrying an Aussie Rules Football.
'Do you guys want to learn how to play Aussie Rules Footy?' she asked.
'Yeah,' Tom replied slowly. The rest of them nodded.
'Can I umpire? I can't exactly play,' I said, holding out my arm. Vanessa nodded
So we went to the park and taught them how to play footy. We played a game after Sophie and Vanessa taught them the basic rules and how to do different things. It was difficult without real goal posts but we managed. The teams were Harry, Danny and Sophie onto Tom, Dougie and Vanessa. Sophie's team won by a goal, but we ended up with a lot of injuries from tackles that the boys gave each other, being gentlemen and not touching Sophie or Vanessa, until Vanessa came up behind Danny, grabbing him by the waist and slamming him on the ground.
'How do you play this for fun?!' Danny exclaimed, holding his back and wincing as he got up off the ground. We shrugged and kept playing.
Please R&R! There'll be more Danny in the next upload :)
