(A/N you do not need to read this to understand the plot. again I'm having
to start again with this one cos of the computer crashing all the time. I
hope you like it despite the lameness and the fact it was rushed. Please
read and review so I know to continue. Or not, whatever.)
"I had the weirdest dream last night," Merton bounded over to Tommy "There was this weird girl, who was all wet…"
"I don't really want to know Merton," Tommy looked at him strangely,
"Not that kind of dream. She was-" Merton had just opened his locker and was speechless to see the necklace hanging on the back of the door "What the-" Merton pulled it out. Tommy looked over his shoulder at the necklace. Tommy took it from Merton and inspected it closer. He was looking at the angel on the back when a hand came round and took the necklace.
"Tommy that is so sweet," Stacey was holding the necklace and looking at Tommy with a puppy love expression. "You remembered my birthday," Tommy started to stutter and explain that it wasn't for her and that he had in fact forgotten her birthday. He looked down at his hands which were a lot hairier than usual.
"Yeah, yeah, happy birthday Stacey," Merton looked outraged behind Tommy who was trying to block him from view.
"Its beautiful, it must have cost a bomb,"
"Well you know…" Tommy played at false modesty. Stacey leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you Tommy," and walked off. Tommy was floating on air, he cocked his head as he watched her leave. His moment of love sick happiness was cut off by Mertons hand hitting the back of his head, which hurt more than it looked.
"TOMMY! Hello, that was mine," Merton was outraged, Tommy was rubbing the back of his neck
"Yours? That was from the mansion we checked out, I remember it,"
"Well it certainly wasn't yours to give to Stacey," Merton grumbled
"Why'd you take it anyway?" Tommy asked
"That's the thing, I didn't, it kinda followed me home on my bag. That's where the dripping wet girl came from. Tommy she was a genie," Tommy looked blank, not the shocked expression Merton was aiming for.
"Huh?"
"A genie Tommy. Like Alladin and three wishes and stuff…"
"Oh my god," Tommy finally caught on and turned around looking down the hall for Stacey who was nowhere in sight. "What do we do?"
"You've got to get it back. Tell Stacey it wasn't yours to give,"
"But then she'll know I forgot her birthday,"
"So Tommy, this is a genie we're talking about here. When we're done you can always give it to Stacey after," Merton shrugged.
Nightime. Staceys house.
Stacey brushed her big bouffant hair in front of the mirror, throwing admiring glances at the pendent now and again. She put down the brush and picked up the pendent, looking at the angel on the back, a sappy smile on her face. Suddenly she dropped the pendent, it had started glowing red and burnt Staceys hand. It landed on the vanity with a clang, red light appeared at her right and a girl stood before her, rubbing the back of her head.
"First you get me all wet, now you bloody bang me on a desk…" Emily looked up at a frightened Stacey "Who are you? Wheres the Merton guy?" Emily eyes Stacey suspiciously. Stacey was gasping for breath, her skin was pale and she finally fainted, slumping onto the floor. "I hate it when they do that…" Emily sighed and headed for the door, grabbing her necklace on the way.
Tommy walked down the street towards Staceys house, he was sweating and scared that he was gonna wolf out. He was about half a block away when he saw a girl walk past, she was wearing gothic clothes like Merton. Tommy watched her walk past on the other side of the road, she was pretty. Tommy arrived at Staceys house and knocked on the door, there was no answer. He went round to the back and peered in through the window, her parents were out as well.
"Stacey?!" Tommy shouted up at her bedroom window.
Inside Stacey stirred where she lay, she clutched at her head which had hit the floor hard and remembering why she had fainted looked up at where the girl had been, no one was there. She looked over at her vanity table, the necklace was gone, using the vanity to support herself Stacey got up.
"Stacey?!" Tommy shouted again. A shadow appeared at the window, for a moment Tommy paniced then he saw Staceys face at the window. She looked groggy, like she'd just woke up. She looked out the window, saw Tommy and opened it
"Hey Tommy," she called down, still tentatively touching her head.
"Hey are you O.K?"
"Yeah I think. I must have fell asleep or something. I had the weirdest dream… wait it wasn't a dream, my necklace is gone. Tommy I think someone broke in…. a girl, she was like Merton, kinda gothic looking," Tommy suddenly realised who the girl he passed had been.
"See ya, gotta go," Tommy ran out the garden and back onto the street.
Stacey looked out the window along the street, sighed and closed the window.
"I had the weirdest dream last night," Merton bounded over to Tommy "There was this weird girl, who was all wet…"
"I don't really want to know Merton," Tommy looked at him strangely,
"Not that kind of dream. She was-" Merton had just opened his locker and was speechless to see the necklace hanging on the back of the door "What the-" Merton pulled it out.
