House of Dates:
The club was anxious to see what would happen now that they had opened the Ankh.
"Now what?" Asked Amber.
"Be quiet," said Patricia.
"But nothing is happening," said Amber.
"I think an evil spirit has been released," said Alfie.
Suddenly the club heard the clock striking the midnight.
"Oh no the curse!" Shouted Amber.
"Amber relax," said Aaron.
"No I'm not going to relax, the curse of the Pharaoh is coming to get us," said Amber.
"Amber be quiet or else Victor will hear you," said Fabian.
"I do not care! Fabian please you gotta do something to stop the curse," said Amber
"Amber calm down, nothing is happing. It's just the clock that strikes midnight," said Fabian.
Suddenly it seemed Alfie had trouble breathing.
"Alfie?" Asked Patricia.
"Oh my god, Alfie is cursed by the Pharaoh," said Amber
Alfie lay on the floor with his eyes closed. Patricia was willing to give him word of mouth for reason. Patricia got closer and closer.
"Boo!" Shouted Alfie.
"Alfie I'm going kill you!" Shouted Patricia.
"Alfie, don't you ever to that again, that was super scary," said Amber.
"That wasn't funny Alfie," said Aaron.
Aaron gave Alfie a smack on the back of his head and he, Amber and Patricia continued being angry at Alfie and suddenly Nina felt a gust of wind.
"Did you feel that gust of wind too?" Asked Nina.
"Here take this," said Fabian.
Fabian took off his robe and handed it to Nina. Nina smiled at Fabian. Out nowhere hieroglyphs started appeared on the wall.
"Look hieroglyphs, said Fabian, while he pointed a the wall.
"Fabian what does it say?" Asked Patricia
"I do not know. I need time to decipher them," said Fabian.
"Hurry! Someone take a picture of the hieroglyphs before they disappear," said Nina.
Aaron picked up his cellphone and took a picture of the hieroglyphs on the wall and after the picture, disappeared from the wall. The club decided to go to their own rooms and left the bathroom, Nina took the Ankh with her. When the club left the bathroom, the shadow of a beautiful young woman appeared in the mirror, the woman had black hair, brown eyes and looked like an Egyptian princess.
The next morning, Nina and Amber were up early and the two girls were talking.
"Nina do you think the curse of the Pharaoh is real?" Asked Amber.
"I don't know maybe. At least nothing strange has happened," said Nina.
"Thank goodness nothing happened," said Amber.
"Yes we were lucky," said Nina.
"And when is something going happen between you and Fabian? "Asked Amber.
"I'm not very good at Amber this, because every time I see Fabian it seems my brain isn't working anymore," said Nina.
"That's good," said Amber.
"I just don't know what to say to Fabian," said Nina.
"And what if I tell you what to say," said Amber.
"How do you want to do that?" Asked Nina.
"Do you remember Alfie's Spy tool kit that Patricia and Aaron were making fun of?" Asked Amber
"Yes," said Nina
"Well that box also contains earwigs and headsets and the only thing you've to do is ask Fabian out on a date," said Amber.
"Where?" Asked Nina.
"A romantic spot, somewhere were not a lot people come," said Nina.
Nina thought that Amber's plan wasn't that bad and started thinking about a nice spot for her date with Fabian
A few hours later and the rest of the residents were awake too and in the meantime Fabian and Mick were in their room packing Mick's things.
"I still can't believe you're really leaving," said Fabian.
"It's hard to believe but it's really gonna happen," said Mick.
"I'm gonna miss you," said Fabian.
"I'm gonna miss you too, all of you and especially Mara," said Mick
"So you're gonna give a long distance relationship a try?" asked Fabian.
"Yes and me and Mara gonna make it work," said Mick
"Can tell me how your relationship with Mara started?" Asked Fabian.
"It just happened," said Mick
"Could you be a little more specific? Asked Fabian.
Mick didn't quite understand what Fabian meant as before, but then Mick began to understand why Fabian was asking all those questions.
"I get it, you're in love," said Mick.
"Maybe a little," said Fabian.
Suddenly Alfie walked into the room with his spy tool kit and sat down next to Fabian.
"Fabiano you want Nina to be your girlfriend, don't you?" Asked Alfie.
"Uhm yes," said Fabian, softly.
"So that's a yes?" Asked Alfie.
"Yes, I want her to be my girlfriend," said Fabian.
"And are you going to help with that," said Alfie.
"How?" Asked Fabian.
Alfie opened his spy tool kit and pulled out a small black box.
"What is that?" Asked Mick.
"This is my super deluxe spy set," said Alfie.
"What's that got to do with my and Nina?" Asked Fabian.
"Fabian, I'm going to be very honest with you, you're hopeless when it comes to love," said Alfie.
"Thanks a lot Alfie," said Fabian, sarcastically.
"He's right you know. You know more about books than about women," said Mick
"So what do I've to do?" Asked Fabian.
"One simple thing you've ask Nina out," said Alfie.
"Okay," said Fabian
"Oh and you've to repeat me, I know exactly what girls want to hear," said Alfie.
Alfie took a small microphone out of the black box.
"With this microphone I'm in contact with you, so I immediately hear what your future girlfriend says to you, which I can respond to," said Alfie
"Without Nina noticing anything?" Asked Fabian.
"She won't notice a thing. This is gonna work, okay," said Alfie.
"Okay. But I do want Mick to do it," said Fabian.
"Mick?" Asked Alfie
"I can't remember you ever having a girlfriend," said Fabian
"I'm playing hard to get," said Alfie.
I'm honored. Then at least I can do something back for you and see it also as a goodbye gift," said Mick.
Okay thanks," said Fabian.
"No problem," said Mick
"Good. But where should I go with her?" Asked Fabian
"The garden. Because gardens are romantic, because the flowers and stuff," said Alfie.
In the meantime, Jerome was in his room, he had a notebook on his bed and wrote things down in it. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Otis entered the room.
"Is everything okay mate?" Asked Otis.
"Yes of course," said Jerome.
"What are you doing?" Asked Otis.
"Homework," lied Jerome.
"You do your homework?" Asked Otis.
"Yes I'm doing my homework," said Jerome.
"Okay that's a surprise," said Otis.
"What are you doing here Otis?" asked Jerome.
"I wanted to see if you felt like pulling a prank?" asked Otis.
"I'm not really in the mood for pranks today," said Jerome.
"Are we going to pull pranks at all this school year?" Asked Otis.
"Of course. I just have to come up with the ultimate prank ever," said Jerome.
"Cool," said Otis.
Jerome thought Otis was going to leave, but Otis didn't leave.
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Asked Jerome.
"What do you think about Mick leaving?" Asked Otis.
"What do you think of it?" Asked Jerome
"Don't know. I mean Mick and I aren't really friends, so guess I'm sort of gonna miss him, but I'm not crying over it," said Otis.
"Well I'm not gonna miss him," said Jerome.
"Because you think you have a chance with Mara," said Otis.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Jerome.
"Come on Jerome, I know you're still in love with Mara," said Otis.
"Okay, I still fancy her and now that neanderthal is leaving her and I'm very happy with that," said Jerome.
Otis got up and left the room and went into the living room. Despite being threatened, Jerome was happy with the news that Mick is leaving.
Two hours later. Nina and Amber are in their room. Amber was busy with Nina's make-up. Amber took a pair of tweezers to pluck Nina's eyebrows and Nina did not want this and tried to keep the tweezers as far away from her as possible. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Nina told the person knocking could come in. Fabian entered the room.
"Hey," said Fabian.
"Hi," said Nina.
"Nina can I talk to you for a second?" Asked Fabian.
"Of course," said Nina.
Nina got up and left the room with Fabian. Less than two minutes later, Nina entered the room with a big smile.
"Why do you look so happy? Asked Amber
"Fabian asked me out, said Nina.
"Really? Asked Amber.
"Yes, he asked to come to the garden this afternoon, said Nina.
"The garden, that is so romantic," said Amber.
"Yes," said Nina.
"You two are really meant to be," said Amber.
Nina was very happy that Fabian had asked her out and can hardly wait for her date.
A few hours later and it was time for Nina's date with Fabian. Nina was in the garden walking by the pond and Amber was elsewhere in the garden with a head set on.
"Here speaks Dr. Amber, expert in the love, Nina are you there?" Asked Amber.
"Here is Dr. Amber, expert in the love, Nina are you there?" Repeated Nina.
"No, no, no, no, don't say that part," said Amber.
"No, no, no, no, don't say that part," repeated Nina.
"Nina," said Amber.
"Relax, he isn't here yet," said Nina.
"That's not funny Nina," said Amber.
In the meantime, Mick was busy helping Fabian prepare for his date with Nina. Mick placed the microphone under Fabian's shirt.
"Are you ready?" Asked Mick.
"I don't think so," said Fabian.
"Don't worry, I know what to say," said Mick.
Fabian walked into the garden and saw Nina sitting on the bench by the pond. Mick and Amber were a few feet from Nina and Fabian. Fabian sat down next to Nina.
"I've waited so long for this moment," said Amber.
"I've waited so long for this moment," repeated Nina.
"Me too," said Fabian.
"I can't stop thinking about you," said Mick.
"I can't stop thinking about you," repeated Fabia.
"Ever since our kiss ..," said Amber.
"Can't think about anything else anymore, said Nina. Hello handsome," she said.
"Hey beautiful," said Mick.
"Hey beautiful," repeated Fabian.
Nina and Fabian thought it was very strange what just happened and felt a bit awkward.
"You look so good," said Amber
"You look so good," repeated Nina.
"You look good with those sunglasses," said Mick.
"You look good with those sunglasses," repeated Fabian
Nina and Fabian began to feel even more awkward.
"You've got such nice muscles, I almost forgot that," said Amber.
"You've got such nice muscles, I almost forgot that," repeated Nina.
Nina coughed to get Amber's attention back. Amber and Mick stopped talking and both put on their head sets. And Nina and Fabian were still feeling little akward.
"I've got a sore throat," said Nina.
"Yeah, I've got something in my ear," said Fabian.
Nina and Fabian continued with their awkward date.
In the meantime Victor was in his office, the phone rang and Victor answered.
"Victor Rodenmaar," said Victor
"Hello Victor," said Raven.
"Raven," said Victor.
"Did you do what I asked you to do?" Asked Raven.
"Yes, I cut ties with Eric," said Victor.
"Good," said Raven.
"And what now?" Asked Victor.
"Now you go find the Cup of Ankh," said Raven.
Raven hung up and Victor put back. Then the phone rang again and Victor answered again.
In the meantime, Nina and Fabian were still on their date.
"We're living in a material world ..," said Amber.
"And I'm a martial girl," said Nina.
"I'm also martial, in sports," said Fabian.
"Sports?" Asked Amber
"Sports?" Repeated Nina.
"Academics, with my knowledge," said Fabian
"Okay," said Nina.
"What do you love?" Asked Fabian.
"I love ... Victor that creep," said Amber, while she saw Victor walking in the garden.
"Victor that creep," repeated Nina.
"Nina Martin," said Victor, as he walked up to Nina.
"That's me," said Nina.
"I know that. I've got bad news for you," said Victor.
"What is it?" Asked Nina
"It's your grandmother, she is in the hospital," said Victor.
"In the hospital? What happened?" Asked Nina.
"I don't know. You've to get there right away," said Victor.
Nina immediately got up and walked towards the house. Fabian took out his the earwig and threw it on the ground.
In the meantime, Mara was in the living room, reading a book at the dining table. Joy, Fiona and Caitlin sat down next to her.
"How are you doing Mara?" Asked Joy.
"I'm fine, despite circumstances," said Mara.
"We're really sorry for you that Mick is leaving," said Caitlin.
"Yeah, but Mick gotta do this," said Mara.
"You're gonna miss him, aren't you?" Asked Caitlin.
"Of course I'm gonna miss him," said Mara.
"We understand," said Joy.
"But you and Mick will be fine. You know according to numerology you two a perfect match," said Fiona.
The four girls continued talking and Trudy entered the living room.
"Are you okay, Trudy?" Asked Fiona.
"Do you feel it?" Asked Trudy.
"What?" Asked Mara.
"A presence," said Trudy.
"What kind of presence?" Asked Joy.
"Just a presence, like somebody is here," said Trudy.
"We're here," said Caitlin.
"Not you, I'm talking about someone else, someone who shouldn't be here in this house," said Trudy
Trudy walked towards the kitchen, and the four girls weren't sure what to think about what Trudy just said.
A few moments later, Nina was in the hallway and Fabian was standing next to her. Fabian wanted to hold her hand, but at the last moment he pulled his hand back.
"Are you okay?" Asked Fabian.
"Not really," said Nina.
"Should I go with you with you?" Asked Fabian.
At the same time, Amber walked downstairs with Nina's coat and bag. Mick walked up to Nina and Amber.
"You're going with her?" Asked Mick.
"Yes," said Amber.
"Good luck, said Mick.
Mick gave Nina a hug and then he gave Amber a hug. And then Mara, Joy, Fiona and Caitlin walked into the hallway.
"Let's go," said Amber
"Where are you going?" Asked Mara.
"To the hospital, something is wrong Nina's grandma," said Mick.
"Oh no, that's awful," said Mara.
"What's wrong?" Asked Fiona.
"I don't know yet," said Nina.
Nina and Amber left the house and went to the hospital.
A few minutes later and Nina and Amber were at the hospital, the two searched for the room where Nina's grandmother was lying. And Amber sprayed perfume because she didn't like the smell of the hospital
"Where do we need to go?" Asked Amber.
"Neurology," said Nina.
"The euro? What has that got to do with it?" Asked Amber.
"It's neurology," said Nina.
"Should ask where it's?" asked Amber.
"No that is not necessary. I think we're already there," said Nina.
Nina and Amber walked there and came to a room with a red door. Nina held the door handle but didn't open the door. Nina turned and started to cry, Amber gave her a hug and comforted her. Nina wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and opened the door. Nina saw her grandmother and a nurse standing by her grandmother's bed.
"Are you family?" Asked the nurse
"I'm her granddaughter," said Nina.
"Come in," said the nurse
Nina went over to her grandmother's bed.
"What's happened?" Asked Nina.
"We don't know exactly. She probably had a stroke," said the nurse
"A stroke?" Asked Nina.
"That is what the doctors assume, but the doctors still have to do more tests," said the nurse.
"Gran," said Nina.
"She might hear you, but she won't wake up," said the nurse.
"Is she in a coma? Asked Nina.
"Yes," said the nurse
"When did this happen?" Asked Nina.
"Her friend told us that she heard something in your grandmother's room around midnight and when she went to have a look, your grandmother was lying on the floor, unconscious," said the nurse.
"Exactly around midnight?" Asked Nina.
"Yes, I believe so," said the nurse.
Nina and Amber could not believe their ears. Nina didn't believe it had anything to do with the curse.
"Gran can you hear me?" Asked Nina.
Suddenly, Nina's locket began to glow red. Amber saw it and tried to warn Nina.
"Nina," said Amber.
"Wait a second," said Nina.
"Nina look," said Amber, as she pointed to Nina's locket.
Nina looked at her locket and saw that it was glowing. Why does Nina locket started to glow and how did Nina's grandmother fall into a coma?
