On like Donkey Kong (or Deke)

Lauren's P.O.V.:

Monday's can be crazy for Sean, Keith and I when it comes to activities even school. Now with dress rehearsal for Narnia underway it has been kind of crazy even for the three of us. We did a run through of the bomb scene which is the opening and now were in a makeshift train station working on the evacuation scene. I feel bad I didn't go into detail about it but why not now. I was wearing a blue gingham style dress with a hounds tooth jacket on top with a beret on my head because we were doing the evacuation scene from London. Shock was helping out with the music as well while watching in of course.

Ariana who played our mother and the White Witch was in front of me fixing my war tag just like the ones in the movie which I was impressed. I held a little dog near me because that was Lucy's companion. "You need to keep this on you darling, you warm enough," Ariana asked me. I merely nodded yes as she went to the others fixing the tags on them as well. "If dad were here he wouldn't make us go," Keith grunted. "If dad were here the war would be over and we wouldn't have to go," Sean told Keith. "You will listen to your brother will you Edmund," Ariana asked sternly. Keith nodded but soon coiled before Ariana could kiss him.

She hugged Sean and I could hear her ask him to take care of the others and he would. She soon went to Kristen and asked her to be a big girl. I questioned in my mind on why the script had this because maybe they were in the transition I don't know. "Alright off you go," Ariana told us as we walked towards the make shift train and I had to act hesitant at first then got use to it and waved out the window to our mother as we vanished from the station out into the country side.

The music flowed around the stage and I became curious even through the scene of arriving at the mansion with the rules of course, the first night, hide and seek and then the wardrobe. The wardrobe part was my favorite as I acted with curiosity at the wardrobe which believe it or not were actually my emotions. This was actually merged with meeting Tummus, with our classmate William May or Willster as Sean and I call him who does a great job if I may say so myself the tea, return and not believing. As we arrived to not believing, I began to think of how Lucy must have went through this.

"It's alright I'm back. I'm alright," I shouted going through the wardrobe door. "Shut up he's coming," Keith groaned as Sean soon came into view. "You two don't get quite the idea of this game," he told us. "Weren't you wondering where I was," I asked. "That's the point. That's why he was seeking you," Keith told me like I was a little child when my character was but I wasn't. "Does this mean I win," Kristen asked running up to us. "I don't think Lucy wants to play anymore," Sean told her. "But I've been gone for hours," I told them. They looked at me and soon followed me to the wardrobe where I told what happened.

"But it really was there," I told Sean as we finished the wardrobe not believing scene. "Susan's right Lucy. That's enough," he told me and soon exited the stage. I looked back at the wardrobe before closing it as the stage lights dimmed to black.

"Good job everyone, I will see you tomorrow for part 2," he told us as we took off our costumes. Shock was finishing up with music help as we came down with our school stuff. "Hey, I'm heading off to the diner with Keith, meet you guys there," Shock asked. "Yep," Sean and I replied. "See you guys then," he told us and soon left the theater.

Sean's P.O.V.:

Lauren and I walked out of the theater with the others since rehearsal was going to be all week before Friday which I didn't mind at all because afterwards Lauren and I would spending the time after school with her family and our friends. We walked down the streets singing to some song we heard of. "It's a party in the USA," Lauren and I sang out loud and soon began laughing. "I'm telling you that song is both embarrassing and catchy," Lauren told me.

"I know right? No wonder music has been going crazy," I told Lauren. "Yeah I hadn't heard anything about Gustavo Roque's new project as of yet," she answered. Ever since some of the boy bands ended no word hasn't been made about the next project. I felt someone sneaking up right behind Lauren and I. "Surprise," Jess said popping out. "Jess you scared us," Lauren told her sister. "Sorry sis, what are you guys doing out of rehearsal," she asked. "Got out early, you," I asked. "Walking around town and looking for Hector have you guys seen him," she asked. "No not really," I shrugged. The three of us walked for a little bit until we were the park and a heard a voice saying, "Come on Deke get that T-Rex," we all looked at each other and knew who would say that.

"Hector," we said in unison and walked over to where his voice was. Before I forget, Lauren was wearing a light gray denim hoodie jacket with a mint striped cardigan and purple lace tank top underneath with her necklace, denim jeans and her mint sneakers. Her hair was curled like Susan's was in the Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian for the final scenes of the film. I loved that style on Lauren even with her necklace around the neck. Me, however I had the vibe of Mickey Mouse from Disney so I created a Sorcerer Mickey outfit for me with had a red hoodie, blue shirt, blue jeans, moon necklace, blue beanie and brown shoes with a gold watch. We soon found Hector and I wondered what the heck was he doing?

(A few hours earlier)

Hector's P.O.V.:

I got the homework done that was needed for school or college in this case and I was on my laptop playing my Deke the Dino Breaker game Lauren got me for Christmas. I had been so addicted to this puppy for a while and I swear this sort of helps me with my competitive streak even though Lauren, Jess and Sean hate for me to brag it all the time. I was pressing the controls like crazy as I steered Deke towards the Golden T-Rex. "Alright Deke, there you go line up with him," I told myself or the character in this case as he was right in front of the T-Rex riding Twiddy.

I must mention Deke is like a Indiana Jones to me, you know explorer stuff like that? Well, anyway I was near the T-Rex right by his tail and I was so nervous thinking I would win this. "There you go my friend," I told him as we continued to maneuver. I had my headphones on so I didn't hear anyone coming yet. I was so focused and nervous out of my mind as I focused on the screen and controlling Deke. "Come on Deke get that T-Rex," I shouted as I moved the controls. He was right back on trail again and I was near him at this point. "That's it right near the tail, come on I need one more," I told him as we crept up and slowly captured him. "GOLDEN T-REX CAUGHT! WAY TO GO DINO BREAKER," Deke congratulated me and I was happy with excitement.

(Present)

Lauren's P.O.V.:

We found Hector sitting on the steps near the playground playing his game. "Hey, Hector," Jess greeted him. "Hey bro," I said after her. "Afternoon," Sean told him after me. Hector was too busy cheering as Sean and I looked with smiles and Jess bewildered. "Alright, whose Wi-Fi did you steal this time," Jess asked siting down next to him. "Or better yet what level are you on," Sean asked. "Okay, one I did not steal anyone's Wi-Fi Jess and two I am on the last world Sean. This is the one place where Manny Spamboni has never been ever," he told us starting to click more controls.

"Wait a second the so proclaimed game king," I asked. "Yep," Hector replied. "I'm telling ever since that tournament last weekend he's been calling himself that and it's getting on my nerves," I told Sean. "I agree with you Lauren," Sean said as well. "Not for long you two because I am taking him down today," he trashed talked. "Hector, I don't know how to say this is in the nicest way possible but you always want to win when it comes to games," I told him.

"Yeah believe it or not you get to competive," Sean added. "I am not competive you two," Hector told us. "Liar," we coughed. "Look, I know you guys care for me but some folks like losing and some like winning. I like winning," Hector told us. Sean, Jess and I just rolled our eyes as we watched Hector get set for the next round. "Well Twitty, let's see this T-Rex learn some manners," Deke told him. Hector was already on the controls when I felt a chill coming down my spine and that could mean one thing. A prankster was around here.

I looked behind me to see Manny Spamboni a few feet away from Hector, Jess, Sean and I were. I bet this is revenge from losing the basketball game a few months ago for sure. "Sean," I told him. "Yeah Laur," he asked me as I pointed up. "Oh boy," Sean realized and soon Hector's laptop started going haywire. "Woah, hey," Hector was saying as it went all crazy. The sparks and smoke soon cleared to reveal a man wearing a dark brown cowboy hat with an Indiana Jones like jacket, brown chaps like the cowboys wore, jeans underneath and black boots on his feet.

"Dear Lord," Sean breathed as we saw this. "Indeed," Hector told us as well still in shock. "Are you Deke the Dino Breaker," I asked. "Yes little lady," he told me with a western accent. "Well, this day could have not gone better," Sean chuckled. "True dat," Jess agreed. "And you four are," he asked us. "Oh I'm Lauren, that's my sister Jess, my brother Hector and my best friend Sean," I introduced. "Hi there," Jess told him. "Hello," Hector greeted. "Howdy," Sean said to him. "Nice to meet y'all," he told us. "You too," I replied.

Sean's P.O.V.:

After a somewhat weird introduction, Deke looked around his surroundings with worry. "Hey Deke, are you okay, you seem scared," I asked. "Scared? No, I'm a certified dino breaker kids, and we don't get scared," he told us. "Well," Lauren and I were saying then he got scared because of a pigeon. "Deke, it's okay that's a pigeon there harmless 100%," Hector assured him. "Unless you scared them to poop on you," I told them. "I want to get home guys," he cried. "He wants to get back to his world, Hector I think you what to do," Lauren told him as we both grinned while Jess comforted Deke. "You sure it got Lauren, HEY YOU GUYS," he yelled and we soon got Deke with us to the diner. "I'll call tech support," Hector told us whipping out his phone. "You better get on the phone dude," I told him. "I am," he said dialing the number. "You better be on the phone with tech," Lauren said joining in. "I am on the phone with tech support you two," he shot back. Lauren and I had to giggle because that was like a movie we saw oh wait High School Musical 3 where Troy asks Chad if he's pushing the truck and he said he is then he's pushing. Man, we like to get Hector a lot.

(At the Diner)

Shock's P.O.V.:

"Geesh guys I don't know what to tell you but it looks like it maybe raining cats and dogs today," I told Keith and Lisa looking out the window. "You sure got that right Shock," Lisa agreed sitting on one of the stools where Leo was as well. "Well, we did need the rain that's for sure," Keith told me. "Indeed. I wonder how Mario is doing," I told them. "Your friend Mario," Lisa asked. "Yeah he's the one doing In the Heights on Broadway and maybe coming for a visit this weekend," I told them. "Cool dude. It would be great to meet him," Keith told me.

"Not as great of trying to get a video game character in the game," Lauren asked from behind us and we turned around. "Hey Lauren, Hey Hector, Jess, Sean and," I greeted but stop mid-sentence. "Is that Deke the Dino Breaker," Keith asked. "Yes indeed," he told us. "Well oh my gosh," I said speechless. "That's our buddy Shock over there, he's a great beat boxer and that's Lisa and Keith along with his dad Leo," Lauren introduced. "Nice to meet you guys," he chirped. "I'm going to take care of some dishes," I told them before walking back into the kitchen. "Wait Shock, how about a cup of hot chocolate," Lauren told me. "That I can do," I told her making one for Deke. "Thanks bro," she told me as I went back to doing the dishes.

Lauren's P.O.V.:

"Thank you for calling Dino Wrangler Tech support, please hold for the next available assistant," the voice said on Hector's phone as we all sat in the Electric Diner. "I'm telling you Sean I can't tell what's boring waiting for tech support or watching grass grow," I groaned. "You got that right for sure Lauren," Sean agreed sitting in a chair. Deke wasn't taking waiting good as I hoped nor did Jess, Hector or Sean. "Easy there Deke, just drink your hot chocolate okay," Lisa told him with comfort. "I'm sorry Lisa, I can't and I'm really nervous and upset," Deke told her.

"What do you mean Deke? Your really good in the game world," I asked. "Well Lauren, where I'm from I have a million lives with a strategy to get golden t-rexs' here I only have one life and no strategy," he told me. "I think the only strategy you need to worry about now Deke is sticking with us besides, the Electric Company's got your back," Sean assured. "Those are kind words Sean and I applaud you for it but I honestly won't feel safe till I'm back with Twitty," he told us. "Question, what's a Twitty," Keith asked.

"Deke's trusty pterodactyl," I answered for Deke and everyone including Sean and Deke looked at me. "What? Hector had his dino breaker strategy book out by my bed last night," I told them. "So that's where I placed it," Hector realized. "And you were going to get another copy," I teased. "Ha," Hector laughed. "Ha, ha," I shot back. "Hello? Back to Deke," Jess told us. "Right," Hector and I realized. "He's also my best friend," Deke cried. Man, he is really missing home right now and I can tell. "Thank you for calling Dino Wrangler Tech support, please hold for the next available assistant," the voice said. "Hey guys, I'm still on hold with tech support," Hector announced. "Great," Sean and I groaned. "I'm telling you guys they are slow than molasses for sure," Deke complained. "You aren't kidding," I agreed. "How long will you be on Hector? This is taking forever," Sean told him. "Right away," he questioned. "Okay that's it, I'm giving up," Deke told us. "Woah, stop the breaks there Deke. You can't give up now; you got to persevere," Keith told him walking over. "Uh Keith I think he doesn't understand what you're saying," I told Keith looking at Deke's confusion.

Deke's P.O.V.:

"Well, darn true I am," I told them. "Okay, Deke here's a question. If you gave up on the ranch now what would happen," Keith asked. "Well, the golden T-Rexs' I captured would have escaped, eat purple pineapples to get their mutant laser powers," I answered. I heard a giggle from Shock and Hector. I think they have no idea of what it is. "Alright you two focus," Keith told the two. "What would you do to prevent it from happening," Lauren asked. "Well, Twitty and I would round them up until there together," I replied. "Exactly," Lauren said with a smile and a snap of her fingers. "You preserve to get your task done easy," Sean told me from where he was sitting. "Okay, but I'm just concerned if we can't guys, what am I going to do," I cried out. Soon, I heard a music strum. I looked over at Lauren. "Musical number time," Sean and Lauren sang.

Deke singing

Am I going to be trapped here?

Will Twitty be alone?

What if the dinos I captured ran home right now?

Sean joins in speaking

Stop the brakes Deke, there's nothing to fear but we'll solve this problem if we preserve

Everybody joins in

Perserve, we'll keep tyring, and we will make a plan. Find the solution to get you home. Don't be afraid, we find a way but preserve to be okay.

Keith talking

Perserve meaning work through it. Don't get upset Deke.

Lisa singing

I know this problems hard but I can bet. No matter how long it takes, we'll stay by your side.

Jess rapping

We'll get you the ranch and Twitty for the ride.

Everybody joins in

Perserve, we'll keep tyring, and we will make a plan. Find the solution to get you home. Don't be afraid, we find a way but preserve to be okay.

Everybody repeats chorus as Deke joins in song

Perserve, we'll keep tyring, and we will make a plan. Find the solution to get you home. Don't be afraid, we find a way but preserve to be okay.

End song

Lauren's P.O.V.:

Everyone cheered as we helped Deke overcome the fear of being afraid. "Great song guys," Leo told us over the counter. 'Thanks Leo," I told him. "You guys are good," Deke told us with a smile. "Thanks. Sean and I had been singing for a while," I told him. "Really," Deke asked. "Uh huh," Sean replied. We all smiled and it was short lived when we heard Hector's phone. "Thank you for being on hold with Dino Wrangler Tech Support this is Nick how can I help you," the voice sounded. "I got someone," Hector called. "Alright," Keith told him.

"Finally," Lisa said agreeing. "It's about time," Deke said as well. We soon crowded around the phone. "Ah yes hi Nick, my name is Hector Ruiz and I was playing Deke the Dino Breaker this afternoon and somehow the character jumped out of the game when my computer was going haywire. Do you have any suggestions," Hector explained. "Did your laptop intentionally go haywire," Nick asked. "No something happened in the middle of the game that caused the computer to go crazy," he replied. "Okay. I think I have an answer to your problem," Nick told us. "Okay, I'll put you on speaker so we can hear," Hector told him as he placed the phone on the table. "Alright Deke, let's see how to get you home," I told him as we spoke.

Third Person's P.O.V.:

Not known to the Electric Company, Deke or Lauren instincts could they not detect Manny Spamboni over by the Diner on his bike listening to the conversation they were having. "Not for long Hector," Manny teased and pressed a few controls. Only a few seconds would it be crazy.

Sean's P.O.V.:

"Okay Hector so what you need to do in order to get Deke back into the game is ht escp th jmp bck nt th scrn," Nick told him. "Huh," we all asked in unison after hearing that. "Uh Nick Can you repeat that please," Hector asked. "Sure is ht escp th jmp bck nt th scrn," he repeated. "This is tough to figure out Lauren," I told her and Deke. "You got that right," the two of them said. They soon looked at each other and me. "Jinx," they said. I'm telling you they are a lot like friends.

"Is that all for today," Nick asked. "That is Nick, thank you for your help," Hector told him. "My pleasure have a good day," Nick told him before Hector hanged up. "Okay, so something tells me this is missing letters," Hector realized. "Indeed brother, so how do we go about this," I questioned.

Lauren's P.O.V.:

"Good question Sean, hey Jess can you rewind the sound for us," I asked. "With pleasure Lauren," she told me and soon played back the sound. "Okay may I see that," Lisa asked. She soon took the sentence and started to put vowels in. "So the sentence is hit escape then jump back into the screen," Sean concluded. "That's it alright," Keith told him. "Yeah the question I have now is who in the heck did this," Jess asked as well. "I feel a rat," I said shivering. "Please don't tell me," Hector realized. "Manny Spamboni," we all realized. "Who," Deke asked. "He's a guy you don't want to mess with for sure," I told him. "Yeah, I bet now this is revenge after what happened last month," Hector said thinking to the game where I took his place. "So it sounds like Hector will hit escape and then I go back in," Deke clarified. "Pretty much," I told him.

"Well yee haw and get me on the road to happy town," Deke cheered and Sean and I just laughed. "Make room fellas and Twitty daddy's coming," he said as got ready to go in the screen but that changed with his feet rocking around like crazy. "Deke are you okay," I asked. "Something's wrong with me Lauren help," he said running out of the diner. "Wait where are you going," I asked peeking my head out. "Dear Lord," Sean said looking out. "Come on Sean, let's catch up to Deke. Hector, I'll text when we found him," I said.

"Thanks sis," he told me as we ran across town trying to find him. Sean and I soon reached a corner of a bill board and panted. "Man, can Deke run," Sean told me. "You bet. Hey, where's Deke," I asked. "Found him," Shock called. We both turned around to see Deke in the bill board for kitty soft laundry detergent. "What in the name of Mike is he doing up there," I asked. "Better yet, how and who did this," Sean asked. "I know the answer to your questions," a voice sounded. "Well, well, well, Manny Spamboni we knew it was you," Sean sassed. "Hello Sean, and Lauren," he greeted us. "Shock go get Hector," I told Shock. "On it," he replied and soon left.

"Okay Spamboni, why do you have Deke in there," I asked. "Simple. As long as he's up there, he won't be in the game which means Hector can't compete," he sneered. "Oh, I get it now, you're doing this because you are afraid of losing your self-proclaimed game title and that's cheating you monster," I told him. "And that's not going to happen," Sean told him. "Why, are you guys going to tell your mother," he laughed. I looked at Sean and a sly smile came over my face as Hector and the others arrived. "Shock told us, were here," he told Sean.

"You know Hector, I bet Manny since he is saying he is the game king can't beat himself at his own game," I told Hector. He soon got my drift. "Yeah, you're right Lauren especially his gadgets I know he can't win on his own," Keith taunted. "Yes I can," Manny defended. "You what prove it," I told him. "Fine. I challenge all of you to a duel," Manny told us.

"What if we win," I asked. "I'll let Deke go and this incident with never happen and I will drop it," he told me. "And if you win," Sean asked. "Deke will stay up there permentaly and Hector must vow to never compete in any game again and bow to me as the Game king," Manny bargained. I looked at Hector and he looked nervous. I smiled at my brother. "Manny, you are so on like Donkey Kong," Hector told him. This defiantly felt like the game of basketball all over again. Manny was already by us.

"Okay Electric Company, here is how the challenge will work. I'll give you a sentence with some letters missing. Solve within 3 minuets and you win. Now, I would wish you luck; but I won't. Ha, ha," Manny told us. "What's the sentence," I yelled. "The sentence is Mnn s kng f th gm," he told us. "Okay gang focus, I know off the bat this needs vowels," I said. Hector through up the word ball with the vowels. "That needs an a, and a y," Keith was saying. "Oh that needs an I," Jess realized as well while Lisa place the letters in. "Okay, we need an e," Sean was saying. The letters were already in place. "Okay, Manny we got it," I told him. "Already," he asked. "Yep. The sentence is Manny is the king of the game," Keith told him. "You are correct Electric Company," he told us. We all soon cheered and hugged. "But I will get you Lauren and Hector," he told us. "Oh we know," I told him. "Yeah, shouldn't be doing something right now," Hector asked. "Yes," he groaned and soon released Deke who was happy as a clam to get out of there. "Finally," Deke said relieved.

Deke's P.O.V.:

I was so glad to be out of there. "Deke," they all said and hugged me. "I can't thank you guys enough," I told them with a smile. "We told you perseverance would pay off," Keith said smiling. "Hey, let's get back to the diner and get Deke home," Hector told us as we walked over to the diner. I stayed behind with Lauren and Sean. "Thank you guys so much for getting me out of there," I thanked. "No problem Deke, it's what friends and people who are in search of their destiny do," Lauren shrugged. "Wait, your in search of a destiny," I asked. "It's been pretty much instilled with me when I was born and I know it's more powerful but I feel like I'm a descendant," I explained. "Well, you have the grace of royaly in you Lauren," I told her.

"Thanks," she smiled. "Hey, can I understand what is your destiny," I requested. "Sure Deke, look into my eyes and will be revealed," she told me. I looked into Lauren's hazel brown eyes and saw images flash before me of her at a coronation ceremony standing in front of a throne. I knew that was the throne of Queen Lucy the Valint of Narnia. Someone came up to Lauren but I couldn't figure out who it was but had the crown of Queen Lucy. As Lauren bowed, a young girl approached the throne but soon became an adult wearing a red and gold dress with a orange cape at the back. Her hair long and blue eyes.

The crown rested on Lauren's head and the same crown appeared on the woman. I knew at the moment that was Queen Lucy and I figured Lauren was the descendant of Queen Lucy meant to fulfill the order of the lion prophecy. The images went away and I saw Lauren's brown eyes again. "Lauren, no matter what happens, I know your destiny," I told her. She smiled and soon hugged me. We arrived back at the diner and I was ready to go back.

Lauren's P.O.V.:

"Well Deke, you ready to go," Sean asked as he sat near me. "I sure am. You know I'm going to miss y'all. Except you," Deke called out Danny and we just chuckled. "We'll miss you too buddy," Hector told him patting the shoulder. "Thanks, being with you guys made me remember the lesson I won't forget," Deke told us standing up. "What's that," I asked. "Preserve, I'll keep trying," Deke started to sing. "And you will make a plan," we all started to join in song. "Find the solution I know that I can. You're not discouraged I'm still okay. I preserved to find my way," we sang and soon cheered afterwards. Deke got the high fives from everyone and soon came over to the Electric Company and I along with Sean.

Deke soon gave us a big hug. "Good luck Lauren, you too Sean," he told us. "Thanks Deke," we smiled and soon waved as Hector hit the escape button and Deke was home. "Deke's home," I said looking at the screen of Hector's laptop. "Alright, I'm back in business," Hector told us setting up. "Whenever," Sean and I said in unison. Hector already got the saved game back up and running as Jes, Lisa, Keith, Sean and I talked. "I'm telling you guys, I can't wait for Jordin Sparks to drop Battlefield," Jess told us. "I know and I'm excited for the Jonas brothers Burning up," Keith said agreeing. "Yeah, I bet the music video will be awesome," told them. "Oh wait, we forgot what tonight is Lauren," Sean told me. "What's that," I asked. "Opening night football," he cheered. "Oh yeah," we said happily. Soon, we heard a cheer of "Yes I did it," Hector won the game and we all soon cheered and hugged my brother. "Well Hector guess this is yours, "Manny smirked holding the game title plate. "You know what Manny, keep it you deserve it," Hector told him. "Thanks," he smiled and soon left. I sat down with Sean and smiled on how happy my brother was. All of a sudden, I heard a lion's roar. "Did you hear that Sean," I asked. "No what was it," he replied. "A lion's roar," I said. My eyes soon got bug eye wide and I knew I was getting another destiny vision. "Hector," Sean yelled and Hector turned to see what was happening. But, my vision soon morphed to my destiny. What am I going to do now?

Cliff hanger folks! I'm telling you this was fun to write and I can't wait for you guys to see another one of Lauren's visions of her destiny. She will have them throughout the story so I am excited. Hope you all enjoy for now and enjoy opening night football if you guys are fans. Go Cowboys! From, Lucy the Valiant 89
