Chapter 36: Horror Movie Plans
Kendall and James picked up Katrina from Jo's apartment. They let her take a ride on the stretcher back to 2J. She actually laughed during the ride, even though they didn't go that fast, since she couldn't hang on with more than one hand. Once they opened the door, they were greeted by Gustavo's snoring.
"Okay, we go change and then meet back here in five," Kendall instructed them.
"Got it," James and Katrina responded. The three disappeared into the bedrooms.
Five minutes later, they were standing next to each other again, dressed in their pajamas.
"Why did we have to change anyways?" Katrina asked.
"So that when we get him out of here, we can go straight to bed," James explained.
"Oh," Katrina still looked confused, "But-"
"Katrina, get ready to open the door," Kendall interrupted her.
"Okay," Katrina limped over to stand beside the door. She gave them a thumbs up.
James and Kendall grabbed the stretcher and rolled it next to Gustavo's bed.
"We roll Gustavo onto the stretcher," James began.
"Roll him back to his mansion and in front of his piano," Kendall went on.
"Then he writes a song," James finished, "And we get our crib back!" They bumped fists. "Come on. Let's get him."
Kendall and James each grabbed the sheet that Gustavo was wrapped up in and began to roll him onto the stretcher. But then, they rolled him too far and Gustavo landed on top of the boys. Katrina covered her mouth both in shock and to try to repress her laughter.
Katrina made her way over to the guys as they pushed Gustavo off, but got caught up in the sheet. They stood up, their arms flailing as they tried to get the sheet off. "Here let me help."
"No Katrina," James's voice came from the sheet mess. "It's fine!"
"We can get out of this ourselves," Kendall's voice added.
"Just let me try," Katrina insisted. As soon as she touched the sheet though, she somehow got wrapped into it. Unlike the guys though, her face could still be seen. She started to struggle with the sheet. "Okay, so maybe that wasn't a good idea."
"You think?" Kendall's and James's voices spoke up.
Suddenly, the door to the apartment opened and Carlos and Logan ran in screaming. They closed the door before turning to the other three. Once seeing the sheet around them, they screamed again, Carlos jumping into Logan's arms.
"THE GHOST HAS KATRINA!" Carlos yelled out.
"Oh, it's just us!" Kendall announced as they took the sheet off of them. Logan, realizing that Carlos was in his arms, dropped him.
"And Gustavo," James added, "Who's still here!" He stomped his foot in anger.
"And you snore in the dark," Gustavo sang in his sleep, "And it's freaking us out!" James and Kendall stomped their feet in frustration.
Suddenly, Gustavo woke up. James picked up Katrina and put her on his shoulder before he ran out the door with his friends.
"Can you put me down now?" Katrina asked him when they got in the hallway.
"I don't know," James teased her, "I kind of like this." She slapped him on his back, so he put her down.
"I can't believe we can't get rid of Gustavo," Kendall complained.
"Yeah, well, I can't believe we can't get rid of a ghost!" Logan added.
Kendall, James and Katrina looked at each other in confusion for a second before they spoke, "You believe in ghosts?"
"I believe in the doodoos in my pants," Logan admitted. The four other teens looked disgusted at the thought.
Suddenly, they heard someone screaming, "GHOST!" James, Kendall and Katrina looked behind them to watch Mr. Bitters run straight through the group, knocking Katrina to the ground. Although Kendall and James looked shocked, Carlos and Logan didn't seem to notice as they watched Mr. Bitters continue to run down the hall, screaming. They turned back to look at the others, smug looks on their faces as Logan pointed towards where Mr. Bitters disappeared. That's when they noticed Katrina had been pushed down.
"Ugh," Katrina groaned from the floor. "I can't get up." James and Logan knelt down, both of them grabbing her to pull her up to her feet. Then, they saw what the other was going to do. James was the first to slap. Then, Logan retaliated. Soon, they were in a slap fight, right above Katrina's head.
Kendall had to step in, "Stop it! I'll help her up." Logan got in one more slap before they got out of Kendall's way so he could pull her to her feet. "You okay?"
"Please tell me you didn't break something else," Logan added.
"My arm and leg still hurt, but other than that, not really anything," Katrina mentioned. "I don't think anything else is broken." She moved her right arm around, testing it out. Then she did the same with her left foot. "No, I'm good. So, what were we doing anyways?" The guys looked at each other, horrified.
"You don't remember what we were doing?" Carlos asked.
"Wait," Katrina got this weird look on her face, "Something's coming to me. Something about Gustavo, a stretcher and a ghost holding me captive."
"Good enough," James spoke up, "We haven't failed this bad since we lost to Duluth East in hockey, 8-1." Katrina looked confused.
"Right," Carlos remembered, "That was the game that Kendall and I got ejected from for unsportsmanlike mooning." The guys smiled at the memory, but Katrina looked even more confused and a little weirded out.
Suddenly, Kendall realized something, "Wait a minute! That's it!"
"We should moon Gustavo and the ghost?" James looked confused now.
"There is no way I'm doing that," Katrina mentioned.
"No," Kendall told James, "We beat Duluth East later in the finals because we were all back on the ice together."
"As a team," James and Logan finished as they fist bumped.
Carlos seemed really excited, "Right! We're gonna team moon them!" Katrina face-palmed.
"Almost," Kendall replied, "We're gonna team up." He put his hand in the middle of their circle, followed by James, Logan and Carlos. They turned to Katrina.
"You don't need to ask," Katrina mentioned as she put her hand on top, "I'm in!" The boys smiled at her. She tilted her head in confusion, "What? We're not going to raise our hands and cheer together?" The guys looked at each other and shrugged before they raised their hands in the air and cheered.
"Okay, now what?" James asked. He, Carlos, Logan and Katrina looked to Kendall.
"Do I always have to come up with every plan?" Kendall complained. The others nodded. "Okay, I've got an idea. Carlos, James, come with me. Logan, Katrina, go find two sleeping bags and pillows and then meet us in the lobby. Okay? Good." He ran off down the hallway. Carlos ran after him, but James hesitated as he looked back and forth between Logan and Katrina. After a couple seconds, he did follow the other two.
An awkward silence settled in between Logan and Katrina.
A couple minutes had passed before Katrina broke the silence, "I guess we should check the apartment." She grabbed the doorknob, but Logan stopped her from turning it.
"There's no need," Logan told her, "There are already two sleeping bags downstairs from when Carlos, Mr. Bitters and I were sleeping there to catch the ghost."
"Mr. Bitters joined you?" Katrina tilted her head in confusion again, "That must have been weird."
"Yeah," Logan responded, "So, we should, um, go downstairs."
"Right," Katrina agreed. The awkward silence came back as the two teens headed for the elevator.
Once the doors closed, they both started talking at the same time. None of it made sense until they said the last two words together, "I'm sorry." That's when they realized that the other had spoken too.
"Let me go first," Logan insisted. "I might have jumped to conclusions when I saw that picture of you and James. I'll admit; I was jealous. And the thought of you on the walls of millions of guys makes things feel worse. You're just so innocent and fragile and I don't want to mess this up and whenever I'm around you, I can't seem to think straight and-" He was cut off as Katrina leaned in and kissed him.
She pulled away and smiled at him, "That was what I wanted to say."
"Maybe you should have gone first," Logan told her as the door opened. He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the elevator. They went over to where the sleeping bags and pillows were. Letting go of her hand, Logan rolled them up and handed Katrina a sleeping bag right as they heard the elevators open again. She sighed as she put it under her right arm and turned around to find Kendall, James and Carlos lined up in a row, their backs to her and Logan. She raised her eyebrows as she glanced over at Logan. He shrugged before he picked up the second sleeping bag and both pillows. Then, he led Katrina over to the others.
As the three turned around, Logan and Katrina realized that they were wearing vacuum cleaners and goggles.
"Vacuum cleaners," Logan commented, "We're gonna trap a ghost with vacuum cleaners."
"No," Carlos corrected him, "Ecto-Vacuum cleaners."
"They trap dust mites, stale odors and ghosts," James added.
"So, how come we don't get vacuums?" Logan asked, pointing at himself and Katrina.
"Oh," Kendall began as though he just realized that he didn't tell them the plan, "You're the ghost bait!"
"Oh right," Logan started.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what?" Both he and Katrina realized what Kendall said. James grabbed Katrina and Kendall grabbed Logan to pull them over to the middle of the lobby. Carlos followed behind.
As Carlos set up their sleeping bags, Kendall gave the rundown of the plan, "Okay, so, in horror movies, ghosts usually come out when people are either alone in the dark or during make-out scenes between a couple. So, we're going to combine them."
"Wait, WHAT?" James, Logan and Katrina looked surprised.
"You did NOT tell me and Carlos about this part of the plan," James mentioned.
"Why are you always trying to get us to kiss anyways?" Katrina asked.
"No reason," Kendall responded quickly, but he had his scheming expression on his face.
"I don't like this," James insisted.
"Well, too bad," Kendall told him, "Katrina can't help us and you aren't scared of the ghost like Logan."
"HEY!" Logan looked insulted.
"So, you join me and Carlos, now come on!" Kendall grabbed James and pulled him away.
Carlos finished setting up the sleeping bags and pillows before he ran after them, calling out to Logan and Katrina, "Have fun playing tonsil hockey!" Logan's and Katrina's eyes went wide at this before they looked at each other.
"Um, I guess we should get in these sleeping bags," Katrina spoke uncertainly as though she was conflicted.
"I guess," Logan agreed, his tone of voice sounded conflicted too. They awkwardly got into their sleeping bags and lay down on the floor, staring up at the ceiling.
Kendall and Carlos popped up, telling them, "Kiss already!" This caused Katrina and Logan to jump to a sitting position from the shock. They looked at each other for a second before Logan grabbed her face and pulled her towards him. His lips crashed against hers in a desperate attempt as though he wouldn't be able to do it again. Katrina went wide-eyed at first from the intensity, not prepared for it, but then she closed her eyes as she matched his moving lips. Kendall and Carlos smiled at each other knowingly before they disappeared again.
Logan's arms went around her waist and pulled her closer to him. This caused her to squeak from the unexpected pull. He smiled into their kiss as his hands moved up to tangle in her hair. She put her good hand behind his neck, her fingers slightly grazing along it, causing him to shiver from the touch. It was her turn to smile until he pulled an unexpected move by pushing her to the ground, hovering slightly above her. Katrina moaned and Logan smiled again.
Suddenly, they felt a slight breeze and heard moaning coming from the side of them. They broke their kiss to look over and see the ghost.
"THE GHOST!" Logan yelled out as Katrina screamed, pushed Logan up so she could sit up and pushed her head into his chest with her eyes closed. He wrapped his arms around her protectively as he closed his eyes too.
Kendall, Carlos and James popped up out of their hiding spots, holding the nozzles of the vacuum cleaners towards the ghost.
"Stop right there!" Kendall commanded, "Wow, you're a really freaky ghost." He, Carlos and James put their goggles on their eyes while Logan and Katrina chanced opening their eyes.
"Ecto-vacuums, GO!" James stated. All three of them turned on the vacuums as the ghost tried to run away.
"GET HIM!" Carlos yelled. James, Kendall and Carlos ran after the ghost with their vacuums. Logan and Katrina got up and Logan ran after them, leaving Katrina alone since she couldn't run.
"I guess I'll just wait on the couch," Katrina mentioned as she limped her way over to plop down on the couch. She watched as the ghost and the guys reentered and exited a bunch of times.
At one point, the ghost stopped and sat down on the edge of the couch Katrina was sitting on. The ghost pulled out a newspaper and pretended to read it.
Katrina looked up at the ghost in curiosity, "So, what's it like being a ghost?"
The ghost shrugged, "It's a living."
"I don't think that you're supposed to be alive, but okay," Katrina mentioned.
"Right," the ghost spoke as the guys ran past it, completely oblivious to the ghost. "See ya." And then the ghost ran after the guys. A couple minutes later, they ran past in a line again. This time, the ghost was behind them.
Then, the guys ran in and the ghost was nowhere to be found. They looked at Katrina, "Have you seen the ghost?"
"Plenty of times," Katrina responded, a tired tone to her voice. She sank back in the couch, sighing.
Suddenly, the boys turned around and began backing up. That's when the ghost showed up again, backing up too. Katrina watched as they bumped into each other, causing the guys to scream.
They turned around to face each other, James, Carlos and Kendall calling out, "Blast him!" Before turning on their vacuum cleaners. They sucked in some of the loose cloth and pulled it off revealing the new girl.
Katrina appeared beside the guys as the five of them exclaimed in shock, "The new girl?"
"You were the ghost?" Logan stated in disbelief.
"And I would have gotten away with it too," the new girl began, "If it weren't for you meddling, cute, hot guys." The guys smiled at each other, but Katrina looked a little angry until the new girl went on, "And of course the famous Katrina Wolff." Katrina smiled happily at this.
Kendall pointed the vacuum hose at the new girl, "Why would you do that?"
"I'm making a no-budget horror movie and I kind of used you guys as my cast," the new girl explained. "Say hi to the cameras." She used the fake hand to point at the camera on the wall. The other five waved at it. She pointed at another one and they waved to it too. "Are you guys mad?"
Kendall, Carlos and James shrugged, "Nah."
Logan and Katrina looked at them for a second before turning to the new girl, "Yes."
"Please don't tell!" the new girl begged them. "It's way past my curfew and I broke a lot of Bitters' stuff in the lobby."
Kendall took one of the plastic hands, the planning expression on his face, "Sure. We won't tell." He pointed the hand at the new girl as he continued, "On one condition."
"What?" the new girl seemed excited to get out of trouble.
"You help us get our producer out of our apartment," Kendall told her.
"I'm in," the new girl agreed.
"Alright, let's go," Kendall replied, "I've got a plan."
"Of course you do," Katrina mentioned. The boys began picking up the ghostly stuff while Katrina looked to the new girl, "So, what's your name?"
"Stephanie King," she responded, "And everyone knows who you are."
"I have to admit," Katrina noted, "It helps with meeting new people."
"You don't really seem mad at me," Stephanie commented.
"I don't really want to be known as an actress," Katrina told her, "I prefer to stay a model."
"So, I'm guessing that one guy you were like making-out with earlier is your boyfriend?" Stephanie asked.
"I'm not sure," Katrina replied, "It's complicated. He likes me, but he also likes someone else. And I like him, but someone else likes me. Not to mention that everyone thinks that I'm dating this someone else and I'm starting to wonder if I should even though I never do what the media wants and the media definitely wants this." Stephanie just stared at her. "So, yeah, that's what dating in Hollywood is like."
"Sounds exhausting," Stephanie responded as the two girls followed the guys to the elevators.
"And painful," Katrina added, pointing to her broken arm as if to prove her point.
The six teenagers squeezed into the elevator as James turned to Katrina, "So, what did you two ladies talk about?"
Katrina and Stephanie looked at each other before answering, "Nothing." The guys looked at each other confused right as the door closed.
Gustavo was sleeping and snoring when there was a clap of thunder followed by a shaky voice, "Gustavo Rocque!" He woke up and looked above him to find a ghost. "Return to your mansion now!" Gustavo started screaming in terror. "Go to your piano and-and write some songs! Uh, uh, uh some dance songs, some dance songs!" Gustavo continued to scream. "RETURN TO YOUR MANSION NOW AND WRITE SOME SONGS!"
"GHOST!" Gustavo screeched. He grabbed his suitcase and a box of fishsticks before he ran screaming from the apartment, the door shutting behind him.
"And cut!" Stephanie called out as she and Katrina appeared from behind Gustavo's bed. The lights turned on. "That's a wrap." The guys stood up from behind the kitchen counters, cheering. Katrina joined them, holding one of the strings for moving the 'ghost'. Stephanie had the other one, James had the fan, Kendall held the microphone, Logan was in control of the lights and Carlos added the fog. The boys put down their stuff before they made their way over to Katrina and Stephanie.
Suddenly, Katie and Mrs. Knight walked into the room, pulling off their headphones.
"What is going on?" Katie complained, "It's three thirty in the morning!"
"Katie, let me handle this," Mrs. Knight took control, "WHAT IS GOING ON? IT'S THREE THIRTY IN THE MORNING!"
"Mom," Kendall began, "This is Stephanie King." He gestured to Stephanie.
"She's the Palm Woods ghost," Logan and Carlos told her.
"Hey," Stephanie used the string in her hand to make the 'ghost' wave to Mrs. Knight and Katie. They waved back unenthusiastically.
"She helped us scare Gustavo back to his mansion!" James explained causing him, the other boys and Katrina to start cheering again. Mrs. Knight and Katie fist bumped.
"So," Katie started, "What happens now? Gustavo writes a song and you guys do a music video?"
The boys looked at each other and shrugged, "Probably."
"I'm sorry," Stephanie spoke up, grabbing everyone's attention, "But I have to go. It is three thirty in the morning after all." She smiled at all of them before she left the apartment.
"And I have to get up early tomorrow to go work the opening day of Penny's Pet Care," Katrina told them, "So, I should get to bed. Night." She limped out of the room.
"Everyone should be getting to bed," Mrs. Knight turned to the others, "Now." She led the others out of the room.
