Stuck

Chapter 20: The Truce

Previously

"Darn it, it's out of power..."Sam said in dismay, feeling that hope was taken.

Star blinked and before she could say anything, they suddenly heard noises again.

They also knew what it meant...

"He's back..."Star whispered in horror.

"The window...hurry..."Sam ordered and Star nodded, having no time to argue.

The two girls soon slipped out of the window just as their "friend" got closer and closer to the door of the shed and ran outside, as far away from the shed as possible.

To get as much distance as possible between them and who or whatever is following them.

The two girls were running again, trying to find another safe shelter but they knew that staying in the camp is no longer an option since sooner or later, their stalker would find them in wherever they hid their.

"Where do we go now?..."Star asked as she kept running with Sam.

"Being on camp grounds is no longer an option, we gotta hide in the woods..."Sam said and Star nodded.

The girls ran into the woods that surround Lake Eerie but ir is still raining hard and the terrain was very slippery and wet.

"Ah!..."Star yelped as she and Sam slipped and fell into the mud.

"Ow..."Sam groaned.

"Are you okay?..."Star said quickly as she got up and helped her.

"I think so..."Sam said, but the wind began to pick up and the rain fell even harder, making the area even more unbearable.

"We got to find some shelter...'Star said as she looked around.

"I think I know a place, just a few yards from here...come on..."Sam said and Star didn't argue.

Any place that didn't have a stalking beast and 40 mile an hour winds was okay with her.

Later

In a cave

"Deja vu...'Star thought as she and Sam wound up in a cave of all places, which would serve as their shelter from the storm and from whatever beast is after them.

"Danny, Tucker and I explored these caves last summer, so I know it's safe...no bears or anything..."Sam said as they sat down.

"That's good...I have had enough smelly, hairy beasts after me for one lifetime..."Star muttered as they sat down.

So..." Star sighed. "What now?..."She asked.

"I guess... we wait..." Sam answered.

"What do we do now?..."Star questioned and Sam sighed.

"Usually what happens is that Danny sweeps in and saves us last minute..." Sam shook her head. "But he has no idea where else are and I doubt Ember would just tell him...'Sam muttered

Star frowned at the mention of the ghoul who sent them here.

"I really hopes he punches her extra hard, would serve her right..."Star muttered.

"I'll say..."Sam muttered.

Star suddenly felt cold again. She then noticed that it is dark and they were shivering cold. They needed some warmth and fast.

"Wanna help me start a fire?..."Star asked and Sam raised a brow.

"You know, before we freeze to death..."Star pointed out and Sam sighed.

The two girls gathered all of the twigs and leaves they could find and Sam, due to being more experienced with nature, grabbed some rocks and sparked enough to cause a small fire.

"Finally...'Sam said, happy to have some fire now.

It was then that she noticed something right next to Star.

"Is that the HAM radio?..."Sam questioned.

"Yeah...'Star said.

"Why did you bring it? I told you, it doesn't work..."Sam said.

"It's our only chance, so we got to find a way to make it work..."Star said as brought out her cell phone.

"Well, how? We don't have any batteries on us and Tucker is the one who does stuff like this..."Sam said.

"Maybe I can use the power left in my phone to jump start the HAM radio and we can call for help...you did say that it is used during crises and I think this counts..."Star said and Sam looked surprised.

"How do you expect to do that?..."Sam questioned.

"Valerie and I did something like this for a science project once...I think I can make it work..."Star said and Sam looked surprised.

Wait...You actually paid attention to something other than a fashion magazine?.."Sam questioned and Star sent her an annoyed look.

"Hey! Just because I'm a natural blonde, it doesn't mean I'm stupid...unlike Dash and Paulina, I actually did my own homework..."Star said.

"You did?...'Sam questioned.

"Yeah, my dad is really strict about that stuff, if I don't keep at least a B average, he'd take away my shopping privileges, plus he'd never forgive me if I did something like cheating at school...'Star admitted.

"Do..do you really think we can use your phone to jump start it?..."Sam questioned.

"We have to try...but I need some help...you think that wrist ray can due to welding?..."Star asked and Sam blinked, before looking at it.

The gothic girl sighed.

"I guess it's worth a shot..."Sam said reluctantly and Star smiled.

Later

Sam and Star, using the wrist ray as delicately as possible, managed to take out the battery from Star's cell phone, which had only a chunk of power left. Sam actually followed Star's instructions on welding it in the parts needed as the blonde girl used some twigs to crosswise some things, thus connecting Star's phone battery to the old HAM radio.

"I think that should do it..."Star said.

"Do you really think that it worked?..."Sam questioned, actually hiping she is right.

"Fingers crossed..."Star said as she pressed the button on the HAM radio.

After a few moments, they suddenly saw the red light go on, signalling that it's activating.

Both girls were amazed.

"IT WORKED!..."Star exclaimed happily and Sam looked amazed.

"It actually worked..."Sam exclaimed, relieved.

"Okay, who should we call?...'Star said.

"Since this is being run by a cell phone, maybe we can get in contact with Tucker...he and Danny are the only ones who have the means of finding us..."Sam said.

"And the least likely to tell our parents after rescuing us..."Star said and Sam nodded.

Sam tried getting a lock on Tucker first, for the previously stated reasons.

She just hoped it would work.

Back In Amity Park

The two boys were now in the Fenton Lab, having searched all over town and had no luck in that department.

"Danny, are you sure about this?..."Tucker asked, since Danny decided to search the ghost zone.

"We can't cross out any possibility...until we find the girls, I'm searching every possible-

Suddenly the heard a strange, static like noise happening.

"What was that?..."Danny questioned and Tucker pulled out my PDA.

"Someone is trying to call my PDA by a strange frequency..."Tucker said as he pulled it out.

"Is that possible?..."Danny questioned.

"Mayday! S.O.S! Is anyone there?!..."A feminine voice called and the boys, especially Danny recognized it.

"STAR! Is that you?...'Danny exclaimed as he grabbed Tucker's PDA.

"Danny! Oh thank goodness...it worked..."Star said in relief.

"Star, you have no idea how happy I am to hear you...are you alright? Is Sam there with you? Where are you guys?..." Danny asked in a rushed, worried tone.

"Calm down Danny, me and Sam are together and fine...look, we're in a cave somewhere in the woods near Lake Eerie..."Star explained.

"Lake Eerie?!...'The boys exclaimed.

"Yes, Lake Eerie...that Ember really has a sick sense of humor..."Sam's voice was heard.

"Sam?...'Danny said, relieved that she is okay too.

"Anyway Danny, there is a huge storm happening right now...not to mention there is a-

Suddenly the boys just heard static and realized that they had lost the signal.

"Oh no, call them...'Danny ordered and Tucker tried to connect to the signal again.

"I can't..."Tucker said in disappointment.

It seems whatever the girls used to get in contact with them is no longer working, most likely because of the storm.

"At least we now know where they are..."Tucker said and Danny nodded.

"Lake Eerie is like 3 hours away from here...we need to get to get there and fast...come on, we need the Specter Speeder..."Danny said and Tucker grinned.

"Alright!...'Tucker said.

With the girls

"Calm down Danny, me and Sam are together and fine...look, we're in a cave somewhere in the woods near Lake Eerie..."Star explained as she held the microphone connected to the HAM radio

"Lake Eerie?!...'The boys exclaimed.

Sam then grabbed the microphone and started speaking.

"Yes, Lake Eerie...that Ember really has a sick sense of humor..."Sam said in annoyance.

"Sam?...'Danny said, sounding relieved.

"Anyway Danny, there is a huge storm happening right now...not to mention there is a monster here and-

Suddenly the girls heard a lot of static and could no longer hear Danny on the other end.

"What's going on?..."Sam exclaimed and Star gasped.

It seems the HAM radio used up what little cell battery star had left.

"Oh no! Danny! Danny!..."Star shouted, trying to get in contact with the boys but no use.

"Oh no..."Star said in dismay.

Sam, despite her usual attitude, decided to be the optimistic one for a change.

"Look on the bright side, they now know where we are and knowing Danny, he's probably hopping into the Specter Speeder right now and flooring it...'Sam said.

Despite it all, Star cracked a smile at that, happy that they at least manage to send their message before losing signal.

"So...what now?..."Star asked and Sam looked confused.

"I..I guess we wait...not much else we can do..."Sam said.

"So... do we just... talk...?' Star asked, unsure.

Sam also looked unsure and truce or not, she is not sure she wants to do that.

"Eh...do we have to?..."Sam asked and Star groaned.

"Fine..we don't have to..."Star said as she grabbed a stick and started pocking at their small fire, trying to stay warm.

All they can do now is stay out of sight and wait until they are rescued.

"Deja vu part 2..."Star thought as she kept looking at the fire.
