House of Ideas:
Eddie and Joy stood in the hallways of the school. Eddie was holing on to Joy and she was trying to get loose.
"Let go of me," said Joy.
"Not until you listen to me and do what I say," said Eddie.
"What do you want from me?" Asked Joy.
"I told you need you to do something for me," said Eddie.
"And if I don't want to do it?" Asked Joy.
"After Fabian, you've to do something to make up for it. Be in Nina and Amber's room this afternoon," said Eddie.
Joy nodded her head and walked away.
In the meantime in the house. Isaac was meditating in the garden and Trudy walked into the garden with a tray of tea and cookies. Then Trudy saw that many things had already been packed.
"What is happening here?" Asked Trudy.
"Trudy I... it's time to say goodbye and go home," said Isaac.
"Oh no please don't," begged Trudy.
"I'm so sorry," said Isaac.
In the meantime Nina, Amber and Alfie were at Fabian's locker on his locker there was a picture of him and in front of his locker there were a lot of stuffed animals, cards and flowers.
"It really did turn out beautiful," said Amber.
"Yeah and would've Fabian liked it too," said Alfie.
"Sometimes I wish I'd never taken the locket, then Fabian would still be alive," said Nina.
"But Nina you're the Chosen One and Sarah knew it. And if Sarah hadn't given you the locket, then fate would have made sure you got the locket," said Amber.
"But was it Fabian's fate to die young?" Asked Nina.
"No, of course not," said Amber.
Nina said nothing and opened her locker and a card fell out. Nina picked up the ticket and began to read it.
Sorry you haven't heard from me in a while. Never stop smiling, Mason.
Nina got a small smile on her face and then looked at the memorial for Fabian.
A few moments later. Mara, Jerome and Otis were in the computer lab, reading the ideas students had sent in.
"You need to read this idea," said Jerome.
"What is it?" Asked Mara.
"Who can spin it the longest snot," said Jerome, reading the card.
"Gross," said Mara.
"How are you supposed to spin snot?" Asked Otis.
"Shut up about it or I won't be able to get that image out of my head," said Mara.
"Okay you gotta need to hear this idea, Sweetie jumps off the roof of school with a hang glider and flies through five flaming hoops and lands in the middle of a moving monster truck," said Otis, reading the card.
"What a ridiculous idea," said Mara.
"I think it sounds kind of brilliant," said Jerome.
"Let's continue, there has to be at least one good idea," said Mara.
Mara, Jerome and Otis continued reading the students' ideas, but they hadn't seen a good one yet.
"So many ideas and none of them good," said Jerome.
"Maybe we should get used to the fact that Mr. Sweet is no longer our principal," said Mara.
"No way, we're not letting that Shepard guy win," said Otis.
"No, exactly, Shepard is going to lose," said Jerome.
"How?" Asked Mara.
"Uncle Isaac," said Jerome.
"What?" Asked Otis.
"Perfect," said Jerome.
"I don't get it," said Otis.
"Jerome, can you please explain to us what does uncle Isaac got any to with this?" Asked Mara.
"We're going to save his village," said Jerome.
"What?" Asked Otis.
"This a idea someone send in, save the village of uncle Isaac," said Jerome.
Jerome handed Mara and Otis the card and they began to read it.
Back at the house, after Trudy heard the news that Isaac would be returning to Kenya she ran into the kitchen crying and Isaac tried to comfort her.
"If the need wasn't so great I would stay," said Isaac.
"It's always the same," said a crying Trudy.
"Yes, hospitality is heartwarming, your cooking is exquisite, it's a plaster to my soul," said Isaac.
"Do I meet the man of my dreams," said Trudy.
"I've got to get back to my village and...," said Isaac, stopping in the middle of his sentence after hearing what Trudy just said. "What did you say? Did you say the man of your dreams?"
"And then he has to go back to save his village," said Trudy.
"Oh," said Isaac, giving Trudy a tissue.
"Thank you," said Trudy.
Trudy blew her nose in the tissue and Isaac gave her another. Then Trudy looked at Isaac and she stopped crying.
"But why not," said Trudy.
"What?' Asked Isaac.
"Why don't I just go with you," said Trudy.
"Go where?" Asked Isaac.
"To Kenya," said Trudy.
Hearing this stunned Isaac and he didn't know what to say anymore.
A few moments later. Joy climbed through the window of Nina and Amber's room. Joy sat down and waited for Eddie.
"What am I still doing here? This was a stupid idea," said Joy.
Joy stood up and walked back through the window, at that same moment Amber, Aaron and Alfie entered the room and they were shocked to see Joy.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Amber, in an angery tone
Joy turned around and stared at Amber, Aaron and Alfie.
"I'm here becauseā¦," said Joy.
"Get out, before I make you get out myself," said Amber.
Amber looked angrily at Joy and walked up to her and was ready to attack her. Aaron held on to Amber and Alfie held on to Joy, so that the two girls wouldn't go at each other.
"What do you think you can just come back here like that!" Yelled Amber.
"Oh I really didn't come back for you!" Yelled Joy.
"Oh, but I'm not the only one who never wants to see you again!" Yelled Amber.
"Other people think different about that," said Joy.
"Oh yeah? Then who does?" Asked Amber.
"Me," said Eddie, as he entered the room.
Aaron and Alfie let go of Amber and Joy and they turned their attention to Eddie.
"So if everyone would just calm down, so I can explain," said Eddie.
"You're just in time, dude," said Alfie.
"I don't wanna have this traitor in my room!" shouted Amber.
"You do and I will explain why, said Eddie.
"Well explain," said Amber.
"If we want to find the Mask of Anubis we need the mini house. And who has the chest?" Asked Eddie.
Alfie raised his hand and Eddie pointed at him.
"Rufus and Omar," answered Alfie.
"And who is the only who can get close to Omar?" Asked Eddie.
Alfie raised his hand again and Eddie pointed at him again.
"Joy, answered Alfie," pointing to Joy.
"No way, I'm not going to do that, I never want to see that creep again," said Joy.
"Typical, Joy chooses herself over other, not that I didn't otherwise from her," said Amber.
"Besides, I don't have anything he'd find interesting," said Joy.
"No, but I do," said Eddie.
Eddie pulled an artifact out of his pocket and everyone looked surprised.
"Have you found the next artifact?" Asked Amber.
"Not quite. This one has lemonade syrup in it, but Omar doesn't know that," said Eddie.
"Can you explain that?" Asked Aaron.
"We attach a tracker under this. Joy will give this to Omar and we'll know where he's going," explained Eddie.
"Bond, Edison Bond," said Alfie.
"I'm not going back to Omar," said Joy.
"Why not? You're such good friends," said Amber.
"I was talking to Eddie!" Shouted Joy.
"You don't have to shout, I can hear you!" Shouted Amber.
"Can somebody please stop this?" Begged Alfie, put his fingers in his ears.
"This is the only solution. If we're gonna find that mask, we need that mini house," said Eddie.
"And if he finds out what I'm up to?" Asked Joy.
"You should have thought of that before, otherwise we wouldn't be in this situation," said Eddie.
At that same moment Nina and Patricia walked into the room and were surprised to see Joy.
"Joy?" Asked Patricia.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Nina.
"She's going to help us get the mini house back," said Eddie.
"She is?" Asked Nina.
"Yes, she is," said Eddie.
"I don't even know how to help," said Joy.
"This is a brilliant plan and I know just the man who can help with the right equipment," said Alfie.
"Great of you to think with me Alfie," said Eddie.
"I don't think it's such a brilliant plan. I've told Omar I never want to see him again, he'll never believe me if I suddenly want to help," said Joy.
"That's your problem," said Amber.
But what the club and Joy didn't know was that Victor Sr. had heard their entire conversation and thus knew what they were up to. Victor sr. disappeared from Amber's mirror and appeared in the mirror in the cellar. Victor Jr. was making a memorial for Corbierre and looking sadly at a picture of Corbierre. Victor jr. found one of Corbierre's feathers on the floor and placed it next to the photo.
"My noble feathered friend, will I ever see you again?" Asked Victor jr.
"That depends entirely on you Victor," said Victor sr.
"Father, I don't have the mini house yet, but I don't know where it's either," said Victor jr.
"Don't talk nonsense, You said yourself that must in that cottage in the forest where Rufus Zeno is staying," said Victor sr.
"Now what?" Asked Victor jr.
"And now you have to get it back you scared donkey, before those rascals do," said Victor sr.
"What do you mean by that father?" Asked Victor jr.
"Those rascals have come up with a plan to get the mini house back and you must beat them to it or your chance is gone forever, said Victor sr.
Victor Sr. disappeared again. Victor jr. walked towards the closet and took out a metal box. Victor jr. grabbed a key from the shelf and opened the chest and inside the chest were dynamite sticks.
Back in the room of Nina and Amber. Eddie went over the plan one more time with the club and Joy.
"Tomorrow we have short school day, so we will execute the plan then," said Eddie.
"I've my doubts about it," said Amber.
"Why Amber?" Asked Aaron.
"Because we have to rely on Joy," said Amber.
"I'm sitting right here, you know," said Joy.
"I know, but I'm not afraid to call you a lying, backstabbing traitor right in your face," said Amber.
"I think I'd better go," said Joy.
"Yes, go," said Amber.
'No, stay," said Patricia.
"Without Joy we can't get the mini house back, and without it we can't find the Mask of Anubis," said Eddie.
"The mini house alone isn't enough to pass the next task," said Nina.
"We need to decipher the hieroglyphs," said Aaron.
"But who is going to that? That was Fabian's job," said Amber.
"I'll do it, said Nina.
"You will Nina?" Asked Amber.
"Yes, I'll go to Fabian's room later and get some of his books and then I'll give it a try," said Nina.
"Guys, I we need to pause the plan for now, because we need to eat, supper can be ready any minute," said Patricia.
"Let's go," said Alfie.
"You stay here and don't go anywhere, go it," said Eddie.
"What I don't want Joy to stay behind in my room," said Amber.
"Well, it was my room first," said Joy.
"We don't have time for this," said Aaron.
"Don't touch my stuff," said Amber.
The club left the room and went downstairs for dinner while Joy stayed behind in the room.
A few moments in the villa where Fabian being held. Caroline was busy feeding Fabian.
"What time is it?" Asked Fabian.
But before Caroline could give an answer her phone rang and she walked out of the room. When Caroline was out of the room Fabian looked at his bag and tried with all the strength he had to grab it.
In the meantime in the house. Amber had just finished doing the dishes and was walking there down the hallway heading towards stairs. Suddenly the house phone rang and Amber answered it.
"Hello, this is Amber from Anubis House," said Amber.
But there was no answer, only heavy breathing.
"Hello," said Amber.
"Amber..," said a voice.
"Who... Who's there?" Asked Amber.
"Amber, it's me Fab... It's me Fabi," said the voice, but he couldn't finish his sentence.
"Fabian," said Amber.
Amber's jaw dropped and she was stunned by the phone call. Amber was talking to Fabian. Would she tell the rest of the club about this. And will the club then find out that Fabian is not dead, but that he was still alive.
