Again, I'm stuck inside my room, due to another busy day, although I still don't see the arcade owner, himself. My day doesn't quite start off as I want it to. I wake up from a dream in which I remember vomiting, for some reason. I was afraid I was doing that for real, but I'm glad that it was only a dream. My bump (which is thankfully shrinking) bleeds, and I choke on my own saliva again. Geez. From what I can see from my windows and hear, I assume Felix isn't too happy with how his day starts off, either. I try to approach Felix, as I see him walking by in the hallways of the penthouse.
"Oh! Hello, Irene!" he smiles.
"Hey there. I heard your day didn't start off too well. Are you okay?" I write.
"I'm fine...let's say it started a bit strange and down... but later, I think I cheered up more." he smiles as he replies "Also, some strangers came and bothered me... but in a good way... they cheered me up too.. How about you?"
"Okay. Well, I had another strange dream before I woke up this morning. Then, I started bleeding again and choked." I write.
"Oh my land! Bleeding?! Are you okay?!" he panics.
"Yeah, but I took care of it." I write.
"Oh... alright... but be more careful...please..." he replies.
"Will do." I write, "By the way, are you familiar with roller coasters?"
"Not at all, but I've heard of them." he answers.
"Really? What have you heard about them, so far?" I write.
"Well... that those are like games, but not like our games... it's hard for me to explain..." he tries to answer.
"From what I've seen, they look exciting to ride on. I've also seen some people getting sick on, or after going on, them." I write.
"Interesting! To be honest, I've never been on a roller coaster..." he smiles, intrigued by what I've mentioned to him.
"Yeah, it is. If we ever come across a game with roller coasters, I hope we'll get to ride together on it." I write, "That is, if you're not too scared of heights or get motion sickness."
"Well, sounds interesting! Again, I have no idea how I would react in one!" he exclaims.
At some point, Candi shows up here in the same hallway.
"Hey Irene. How goes it?" she asks.
"Hey Candi. I'm doing fine." I write, now over my minor morning setbacks, "I was just talking to Felix for a bit."
I expect Candi to continue the conversation, but she doesn't, this time, for some reason. When I blink again, I suddenly see what looks like two of Felix. My pupils dilate in response.
"Hello, can I help you?" both of them greet.
"This is another magic spell, right?" I write.
"It is..." they both confirm.
"It's so obvious..." one of them says.
"Be polite" says the other.
"I AM polite..." says the one who says it's obvious.
I wonder how I'd be able to tell them apart, aside from how they speak.
Anyways, I wait longer than usual for my regular guests to arrive. As I write yet another chapter of my series, I begin to wonder whether they'll even show up this time. When I finish, I get up to stretch my legs and end up dancing.
"Hey there" says a voice, Ralph walking over towards my living room, "What'cha doing, Irene?"
"Dancing?" I write, chuckling.
"I figured that out some when I saw you" says Ralph, also chuckling, "The others just arrived now and are entering the apartment."
"Awesomesauce!" I write, heading outside.
Johnny is walking through the apartment with some of the others, and he and the Surge wave as they approach.
"Hey there!" says Johnny, "What's up?"
I wave at them both, still dancing.
"What's up?" asks Johnny as he walks over, Rancis, Amy, Maria, Sticky, and Torvald following as well, "We just got here a while ago."
"Other than working on my series, I started talking with Felix about roller coasters." I write.
"We apologize if we got here late; we ran into a few things before we got here" says Johnny, "But at least we made it."
"What happened earlier today?" I write.
"We just ran into some criminals plotting their revenge on some of us, but that was settled with" says Johnny.
"Ooh, okay. That's understandable." I write.
"And plus, me and Maria kinda pulled a prank on Gloyd today" says Rancis, chuckling.
"Ooh, what kind of prank?" I write.
"Basically, the Surge was also involved" says Rancis, "We made Gloyd think that the Surge is dying and that he had to complete a bucket list that the Surge wrote."
I laugh, "snorting" silently.
"His reaction was hilarious" says the blue security guard, laughing, "He actually THOUGHT I was dead and ran away sobbing afterwards."
"Ooh, girl..." I write towards him.
"Y'know, while we were still in Sugar Rush, I came up with an idea for a skit" says Johnny as he walks towards my room.
"What is it?" I flip my notebook to.
"Two of us decide to go around haunting people when one of us 'dies' and becomes a ghost" says Johnny.
I chuckle and write "That sounds sort of like the Life as Ghosts idea."
"It sorta does, now that you mention it" says Johnny, "Speaking of your ghost skit idea, by the way, who should be our cast?"
"Good question. I thought we should figure it out after we finish the mountains skit." I write.
I then sit down and try to curl to curl up into a ball.
"Perhaps we can get to work on the mountain skit again now since we're here" says Johnny, pulling out his camera.
I nod in agreement, in pain right now.
Johnny then begins filming Torvald and Sticky driving through the forest, deciding to restart the beginning.
"Going to the mountains! Going to the mountains! Go-go-go-going to the mountains! Going to the mountains!" the two recolors sing as Torvald brakes her kart.
I watch, trying to get a good view, even with my sore neck.
"Sis, why are you stopping?" asks Sticky.
"I am out of gas! I am stopping right now!" says Torvald, singing.
"Sis, shut the hell up; what are we going to do?" asks Sticky.
"We are trapped in the forest! We are... totally screwed, Sticks" says Torvald, realizing the predicament she and her sister are in.
I smile in slight amusement.
"I gave you petrol money" says Sticky.
"Oh yeah, spent it on this" says Torvald, showing Sticky a red button with "EASY" painted on it and pressing on it, as it says "That was easy".
"You're an idiot" mutters Sticky, getting out of Torvald's kart.
"She sure got that right." I think, referring to Sticky.
"Where are you going?" asks Torvald, as she gets out.
"We're going to get petrol" says Sticky.
"Why are you bringing all that stuff?" asks Torvald, as Sticky grabs a backpack.
"In case we get lost" says Sticky.
"Smart idea, Sticky." I think.
I attempt to make myself more comfortable by leaning on something more elevated.
"Oh, in that case, I'm bringing this" says Torvald, grabbing a chocolate gun.
"Where did you get that?" asks Sticky.
"Found it under Avril's bed" says Torvald, "Pretty cool, huh?"
"Why are you bringing that stupid thing?" asks Sticky, pointing to the button in Torvald's hand.
I chuckle at the sight.
"Oh, good luck" says Torvald, shrugging.
"Not anymore!" says Sticky, taking the button out of her hands and tossing it.
"That was easy" is then heard.
"What the hell, bro? I paid five coins for that!" says Torvald, running off.
"Sorry" says Sticky sarcastically.
I chuckle more hysterically in response.
"Where did it go?" asks Torvald.
"I don't know, who cares?" says Sticky in response.
"Well, I mean that thing was very important to me" says Torvald.
"Important?" asks Sticky.
"Yeah" says Torvald, "And if you don't find it, you owe me five coins."
"This is getting good." I think.
Sticky then thinks she hears something and pulls out a pie-server.
"Who's there?" she asks.
"I'm gonna shoot it!" says Torvald, pulling out her gun.
"Wait! Wait! Don't shoot me!" says Rancis in a rather girly voice, "You must listen to me, sisters! You are in great danger! My boss-"
"Demon!" shouts Torvald, firing.
"Poor Rancis." I jokingly think.
"The broccoli-" Rancis tries to say.
"Die die die!" says Torvald, as the peanut butter-themed racer lands his head on something and "That was easy" is heard.
"The easy button!" says Torvald, running over eagerly.
I chuckle in amusement and excitement.
"Broccoli!" says Sticky, grabbing the broccoli from Rancis' hand.
"Want some?" she asks, muffled by the broccoli in her mouth.
"Where's my kart?" asks Torvald.
"I don't know. Which way did we come from?" muffles Sticky.
"Broccoli..." I think, chuckling.
"Uh... that way?" asks Torvald, Sticky shrugging her shoulders and walking in that direction.
"Eddie Izzard?" Sticky asks.
"Nah" says Torvald.
"Sir Michael Caine?" asks Sticky.
"No" says Torvald.
"Uh, Sir Johnny Hersheyson?" asks Sticky.
"Not hot" says Torvald.
"What?" says Sticky, "What's wrong with him?"
I make a silent "snort", as I chuckle.
"He has like - all that metal suiting on him" says Torvald.
"His armour is fine" says Sticky.
"Oh, yeah, okay, well, Johnny's like 'Oh, I'm a knight in armour, nunununu, I can curve a bullet!'" mocks Torvald.
"I'll be right back, sis" says Sticky, grabbing her bottom and running off.
I could've sworn my favorite security guard and Sugar Rush guests would have to leave at this point, but I guess they can stay up later, this time. I chuckle at how Torvald's mocking Johnny.
"Where are you going, bro?" asks Torvald, grabbing some binoculars and looking through them.
"Torvald, where did you put the toilet paper?" asks Sticky.
"It's in your backpack!" says Torvald.
"I looked, and all that's here is sandpaper!" says Sticky.
"Just use the sandpaper!" shouts Torvald.
I chuckle, thinking Torvald's silly for suggesting Sticky to use the sandpaper.
"Fine!" shouts back Sticky, "Ow! Ooh-ouch! Oow! Okay, I'm done!"
"Hey, there's something on the tree over there!" says Torvald, as they walk over to a sign.
"Is this supposed to be us?" asks Sticky.
"Well duh, it looks exactly like us" says Torvald.
"I laugh, as I think "A wanted sign?"
"Think there's a road around here or something?" asks Sticky.
"Wouldn't hurt to check" says Torvald, looking through her binoculars, "Whoa, I think yeah, I see a kart over there!"
She then points towards a kart similar to Minty's, albeit yellow , and she and Sticky high-five.
I stop laughing, but smile.
"Well well well" says the Surge as he walks over, "Look who we have here."
"The hell? I thought we killed you?" says Sticky.
"Hand me that red button" orders the Surge.
"What? Why?" asks Sticky.
"Because the red button possesses a power that you puny sisters aren't capable of understanding" says the Surge.
"Oh man..." I think, chuckling.
"But I bought this from a homeless ghost" says Torvald.
"She was no homeless ghoul!" says the Surge, "She was Lily Chocomocha, the enchantress with a drinking problem. Somehow, you managed to buy the button from her before I could get to it, but I couldn't let you get away with it, oh no no."
I watch, eyeing the blue security guard's exposed underpants.
"I followed you into the mountains and waited for you to come down this dirt road" continues the Surge, "I then shot a hole in your gas tank and waited for you to run out of gas. I would've killed you right then, but your idiot sister tossed the button into the forest, so then I followed you into the forest and waited for a good chance to kill you and your stupid sister."
"Ooh..." I think, pretending to be scared.
"But I shot you ten times" says Torvald.
"Ah, but I played a little trick on you!" says the Surge, "Somehow, you found out I was following you, so I sent out my bodyguard to coax you two into eating the broccoli laced with lead paint. My backstabbing bodyguard tried warning you out of my plan, but before he revealed it, you killed him and ate the broccoli anyways!"
"Lead paint? Isn't that dangerous?" I think.
"Wait a second, why lead paint?" asks Torvald.
"Well, you see" says the Surge, "I knew that soon after your sister ate the lead paint, she would have to drop a crap, so while she was relieving herself, I switched her roll of toilet paper with a roll of sandpaper laced with a flesh-eating virus."
"Ooh..." I think.
"What?" asks Sticky.
"But then, I found out she was immune to flesh-eating viruses" says the Surge, "But never mind that! Now, I'm going to take what's rightfully mine! And I'm going to kill you!"
"Wait" says Sticky.
"What now?" asks the Surge.
"You never even told us what the button does" says Sticky.
"Yeah, Surge." I jokingly think.
"I already said you Sugar Rushers are incapable of understanding" says the Surge, "But since I'm going to kill you, I guess I'll tell you, anyway. So the button has this magical power that grants wishes. All you have to say is 'Big Red Button' and then tell it your wish."
"That's it?" asks Torvald.
"Yeah" says the Surge.
"Now, that's something I'd like to have." I think.
"Big Red Button, give everyone in the world a boner!" says Torvald.
"Well... well, I guess you didn't do it right, 'cause I don't have a boner if that's what you're thinking" says the Surge, "I'll be back for you two."
"A boner? Why not just wish the Surge away?" I jokingly think.
Torvald then presses the button, and it says "That was easy".
"I can't believe that worked, sis" says Sticky, "What's a boner? Is this a boner?"
"No, that's your bellybutton" says Torvald.
"Oh" says Sticky, as the skit ends.
"Good job, guys." I write, still lying down.
"Thanks" says a chuckling Sticky, "For once, my sister was actually somewhat intelligent."
"Yeah, I'm glad she remembered her lines and actions for the role." I write.
Now, my guests finally leave. The timing can't be better, since I'm ready to fall asleep, and hopefully relieve my aches.
