A.N.- I've stolen my sister's laptop while she's working so count your blessings. Here you guys go, I'm sorry for the wait.
OH and about my last major typo last chapter, the exchange between ricky weaver and kim has supposed to say
"Hey, watch it Weaver! I may be on crutches but I can still mess up that pretty boy face of yours." I threatened. Ricky just put his hands up in the "I surrender" gesture and smirked, making his way past us into the hotel.
Sorry bout that. Anyways, BIG SHOUTOUT TO IsabelWarblers365, surfangel111, and LauraStelladora!:) ENJOY
"What do you mean you can't find Mikey?" I asked. Jack came up behind me.
"Well we were trying to find him before they announced the results but we couldn't find him anywhere. Sensei came back and said he wasn't at the hotel either, although I don't know where sensei came from... that is sooo not the point. Look, I know you dislike me, and I know why, but Mikey's still your friend, he's a good guy, and you have to help him, you know that in your heart it's the right thing to do." Savannah pleaded. I wanted to slam the door right in her face, but what she was saying was true. But why was Ricky there?
"I just have one question. Why is Ricky Weaver here...?" I asked pointing to the Ken doll wannabe standing beside her.
"Because h-" just then she got cut off by a loud ringing alarm. We all covered our ears from the banshee-like sound.
"EVACUATE THE BUILDING THROUGH THE NEAREST EXIT, I REPEAT, EVACUATE THE BUILDING THROUGH THE NEAREST EXIT." The PA system said.
"What is this?!" I yelled to Jack over the loud alarm.
"It's probably a fire alarm, we've gotta get going, come on!" He shouted grabbing her arm and pulling her into the hallway.
"Wait Kim! You can't leave your baby!" Savannah yelled as she ran after them. I stopped in her tracks and whipped around to face her.
"WHAT?!" I screeched. Savannah noticably shrunk and pointed to her dojo's green room.
"It's in there... I took it to make you lose focus from the tournament. I took care of it, but I... I wanted to beat you." I didn't stick around for more, I sprinted to the room. I flung the door open and scanned the room for my baby, but Violet was nowhere to be seen. Jack was the first to come up beside me, Savannah soon followed.
"She's not here!" I said, turning to Savannah angrily. I could smell smoke starting to draft into the hall from the lobby. Savannah stepped around me and looked in the room. Her eyes widened when she realized there was no baby.
"No! I'm positive it was here! I left it here when I came to your room! Somebody must've taken it!" She yelled. The smoke was really starting to thicken up in the hall, going from a light gray to a dark gray-black and started filling their lungs, making it hard to breath. It also filled the hall, making it hard to see.
"Ladies, as much as I'd love to play Clue, we're gonna suffocate if we don't get out of here soon so let's go!" Jack yelled, dragging us both along. We ran down the hallway, listening to Jerry and Milton's voices as guides.
"She's just a girl and she's on FIRE! Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highwaaaaaaay! She's living in a world and it's on FIREEEE!"
"Jerry! Now is not the time for this!"
"THIS GIRL IS ON FIIIIREEEEE!"
We all got out in one piece, unharmed, and made their way back to the hotel. We met up in Jack and Kim's room for some major recon. Jerry was watching The Lion King, Milton was writing manically in his notepad, talking to himself here and there, Ricky was staring at himself in the mirror, Savannah was hugging a pillow guiltily, Jack was laying back in his bed with his hands behind his head and I was about ready to kill.
"Before I decide to help you, I want answers and I want them now." I said. Savannah nodded.
"The first night we were here, I saw you exchange something with a guy in a hood down there" she said, pointing to the parking lot in the window. "Who was it, and what was it?"
"It was Ricky. I was giving him tickets for the tournament, and he was giving me money for them."
"You already answered why you took my baby... hmm... why do you want our help to find Mikey, and why do you care so much about finding Mikey?" I asked.
"The more help we have, the more chances we have of finding him. And because Mikey's our friend, and we're worried. We used to be friends Kim, you know I'm not completely emotionless. I do have a heart after all Kim." Savannah said and for a second I saw the old Savannah gleam in her eyes and I flashed back to our childhood...
*Flashback*
A girl with a pink and white checkered dress and brown hair in pigtails was swinging in a park. Beside her was a girl that looked fairly similar except her dress was blue and white checkered, and she had blonde hair in pigtails. But they both had little brown cowgirl boots on. They hopped off the swings and started running around, laughing. They stopped in front of two big trees with big branches overlapping each other at the bottom. They sweeped the branches aside and stepped into their own little secret place. There was a box halfway buried.
"Come on Kim, let's finish burying it!" The girl with the pink dress said as she bent down and dug into the dirt. The little blonde girl kneeled beside her and helped.
"No matter what happens, we'll always be best friends, right Savannie?" The blonde girl asked. The girl in the pink dress smiled widely and nodded.
"Of course Kim. Now let's bury our treasure kick before Mikey comes around!"
I looked at Savannah and I knew that she remembered that day. Of course she wasn't all bad. There is darkness in every heart. Some of us are strong enough to fight against it, others are weak and give into the temptations. But, within every darkness, there is a ray of light. No matter the size, large or small, no matter if it's close enough to reach or hidden deep within. There is darkness in every heart. There is light in every darkness. And that's a fact. I smiled at Savannah and nodded.
"Ok. We'll help. But on one condition."
"Anything."
"Help me find my baby." I used the most deadly serious voice I have ever heard from myself. She nodded solemnly.
"IT'S THE CIIIIIIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIIIFE!"
"JERRY!"
An hour later we had searched every inch of the hotel and Mikey was nowhere to be found. We were losing hope. My phone vibrated in my pocket. I pulled it out and looked at the new message I had.
"I have your baby. Come to the roof at nine o'clock. Alone." It was from an unknown number.
"Guys look!" I said as I passed around my phone. "What are we gonna do...?" I asked. Savannah's eyes lit up at the number. She pulled out her own phone and started scrolling.
"Kim! It's Mikey! Or at least... it's his phone..." Savannah said, a pang of concern and worry seeping through her voice.
"It doesn't seem like Mikey... It feels like one of those negotiation things from those hostage movies." I said.
"You can't meet him up there alone then if that's what this is." Jack said, caring about his girlfriend's safety (an- bout damn time Jack stepped in, he's been all BLAAAH in this chapter lol... continue).
"Look no further, I have devised a fool-proof plan (an- or is it full proof?)." Milton said. His friends leaned into a huddle. "So this is what we're gonna do."
It was 8:30 and in 30 minutes, our plan would be put into action. Jack and I were waiting in our room, just us alone. I was relieved to have some alone time with Jack. Today had been chaotic. No chaotic was an understatement. I realized my arch enemy ex best friend rival isn't purely evil, albeit she doll-napped my baby, and lost said doll-napped baby, and on top of that there was a fire and now the world may never know who truly came out on top... Yeah, chaotic was DEFINITELY an understatement.
"Kim?" Jack said, snapping me out of my internal thoughts.
"Yeah?"
"Why are you so afraid of Ricky now?" Jack asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked in confusion.
"Jerry told me what happened... he stepped in and got Weaver to back off the one time at the tournament. And every time you see him, you shudder... and when he tried to kiss you in the dojo... you didn't fight back." Jack asked. And I thought about it and it was true. The first time Ricky wronged me I literally kicked his ass right into the fruit punch. But I knew the answer.
"Because Jack. We were 13 then. And now we're 15, almost 16. People change in that time, and Ricky got... creepy. He's a hormonal teenage boy, and I mean, so are you and Milton and Jerry and what not, but he's a hormonal teenage boy that... wants revenge. I don't know, he just always has this creepy smile and he stares at me like..."
"Please don't finish that sentence." Jack whispered. I knew he got the picture.
"Yeah." I said quietly. He surprised me by pulling me into the tightest hug and burying his face in the crook of my neck.
"I would never let that happen." He said. I ran my fingers through his hair and wrapped my other arm around him.
"I know. You would protect me at any cost. And that's why I love you Jack." I said, smiling. This amazing boy that was squeezing the life out of me loved me. He will love me through the good, and he will love me through the bad, and nothing really could ever stop us. We were the love that could. We are the love that can. And we sat that for the next ten minutes with a peaceful silence around us and it felt like nothing in the world could ever bring us down again.
But we had no way to predict the events that would start at exactly nine o'clock on the roof...
A.N.- BA BA BA BUUUUUUM. Cliffy, again. But I'd like to announce I only have 2 more chapters to go and a sequel is iffy so I'd like to take this time to thank all of my readers. I do it all for you guys, and you guys push me. I really appreciate that there are people out there that enjoy my writing and the fact that y'all take the time to TELL me you enjoy it really makes me happy because I know I'm not doing it for nothing. Thank you to everybody who has made it this far and stuck with me this far, I love you guys and I'm proud to have readers like you. And since this story is, unfortunately, coming to an end soon, I've started adding the life lessons and stuff into it which is why Kim is getting so deep.

Actually, I have a surprise for y'all with Jerry next chapter so be excited! Anyways... what's going to happen? Why does Mikey sound so... weird? Why did he run off? Why does he have Violet? How do Ricky and Savannah know each other? WHAT IS THE PLAN AND WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN ON THE ROOF?! well review to find out!:) Adios amigos
