Chapter 4
The next morning still in the evil cave
Patch woke up sore, and still clinging to the doorknob. Her throat was raw. Pokey came out of the bathroom "Good morning" she said normally
"Pokey!" Patch yelled "your ok"
"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" she asked.
"Because…"
The door flew open, a huge gust of wind following.
Evil One appeared in front of them.
Pokey's eyes immediately snapped to attention
"Good morning Evil One" she said bowing slightly.
Patch looked at him "Let us go Jonathan!!!!" she yelled running up and kicking him swiftly in the shin.
"NO" he answered, running his fingers through his blonde hair completely un-effected "You two deserve this, soon I'll have all your little friends too"
"What did we do?" Patch demanded, looking over at Pokey who was staring at the Evil One in awe. If he had told her to jump she would have asked how high on her way.
"You laughed when I fell off my bike, you left me at Walmart, and you kicked me for that nerdy friend of yours Spot." He said his eyes narrowing, "it's time you pay" he took a step forward.
Patch shielded her face with her arms, as he approached.
Back in the lodging house
"Wake up!!" Kloppman yelled "new newsies, old newsies, wake up!!" he yelled.
"Ahhhh why is it, that they don't really do the fun stuff, but Kloppman really does wake us up at the crack of dawn?" I mumbled my voice muffled by my pillow.
Clink made an un-ladylike noise "Shut up Spam" she said
"I am too tired to respond to that," I said, looking at Solid who was already up drooling over the sleeping Mush.
She nudged Apple "Wake up, you gotta see this"
"Huh?" Apple asked tiredly, then seeing the shirtless Mush bolted upright and joined Solid staring at him like he was a side show freak at the fair.
All around the room people were getting up.
"Come on Clink" Candy said in her Southern twang (which may I add is soooo cute! Just like patch's lol)
Someone pulled me out of bed, I was thinking it was Itey but one could never be too sure, when their contacts were glued to their eyes. I stumbled into the washroom splashing water on my face.
"Hey for a buck would someone pass me a towel?" I asked laughing a little at my own joke (ehehhehe-see there I go again)
"I will!" Skittery yelled, holding out a towel, waiting for his dollar, I handed it to him and snatched the towel away. "What the heck is this, you jipped me!" he yelled. "Why doesn't it surprise me that Skitts is the first one yelling?" Amber asked
The other smirked as I tried to explain currency to him
Without success, because I am the worlds worst teacher. I ended up just yelling "It's a dollar ok, trust me you idgit" and walking away randomly hitting people because of my still lack of sight.
Mush looked at me oddly as I threw myself back down on the bed
"She's not a morning person" Solid said staring at him intensely.
Mush grinned, and turned back to the two girls fawning over him.
We finally got on our way. "Now where are we gonna look first?" I asked
"I dunno you know this evil character better then anyone" Jewel pointed out inching closer to Bumlets as they walked.
I sighed that was true.
We wondered into the Distribution center, talking about where evil one may or may not be. When all the sudden trumpets sounded.
Clink and I jumped "Not the trumpets!!!!" I yelled hiding behind a World cart. Clink followed and looked back out into the open carefully.
"No one's there" she whispered. Good no sign of lord Ironclaw yet. Then added "Cept Spot"
I looked at her "Spot is not Ironclaw in disguise get that idea out of your head" and with one last cautious look around I bolted back out into the open.
"What was that all about?" Filly asked, as Spot neared us.
"You never heard about Lord Ironclaw and his trumpets?" Clink asked following me.
They nodded no.
"Wasn't he some dude who came into my chatroom, and sounded his trumpets scaring the kajeebies out of you?" Copper asked.
"That's the one," I said as Spot finally got to us.
He eyed us all each one by one, some of us noticing some of us not.
"What have we here?" Spot asked. JM and I approached him.
"July" I said holding out my hand after spitting in it.
He glanced at my clothes and then my hand, smirking he spit in his own and shook my hand.
JM did the same. I glanced at her, yeah this was cool.
The story was told again, and I was starting to think maybe we should just gather the entire city together and announce our presence all at once, so we could get the search going a little faster.
Spot finally agreed to help us, not till we spent half an hour arguing, pleading and manipulating.
Copper and Clink were struggling to control their laughter, limp noodle was written all over their faces and I couldn't help but grin myself over the idea of such a thing. I also couldn't help wondering what he would do to us if he ever found out about it.
"So where first?" I asked again.
"I guess we should split up" Jack said.
I nodded in agreement.
Giving Jack a look that said "lemme take care of this"
"Race, Jake, Clink, and Filly you go together." I started
"Mush, Solid, Apple, you go and Flame go with them so they don't all end up in Tibby's flirting instead of looking."
I looked around "Sweet face, Copper, Jack, and Davey" you guys go together." "Candy Jewel, bumlets, and Amber, go with each other."
"Spot, Jm, and myself will go." I finished slightly out of breath.
"You make it seem so easy in the movie" I muttered.
"Ok, we'll all split up and meet at Tibbys 6 tonight, sharp" Jack said.
"Uh hello what about me?" Owl asked
"Oooh right, you go with Skitts and set up base at head quarters" Jack said
"Headquarters?' Owl asked skeptically "And where might that be?"
"Lodging house" I said quickly
"Ten four" Owl said saluting and dragged Skittery away
"I don't know why we have to waste a good day of selling for people I don't know" he griped 'And for people who jip me' he added thinking of the dollar.
Owl rolled her eyes and dragged him along.
"And well were on the subject, why does everyone feel the need to tell me I'm always in a bad mood?" he continued
"When did anyone say that?" Owl asked
"Ha! No need to say it I can see it all over your faces" he accused.
Owl sighed "shut up"
And went into the Lodging house.
Back in the evil cave
"Relax I'm not going to hit you" Evil One said.
Patch lowered her arms slowly
"I'm going to let you suffer first"
He pulled a cloth back to reveal a huge crystal ball.
"Look" He demanded, almost taunting her "I dare you"
Patch peered into it, seeing at first only a cloud of smoke "I think it's broken" Patch said.
Evil One looked at it, and cursed, smacking it. "Oh wait" he said, flipping on the switch. "Now look," he said
Patch looked back into the ball, the cloud rising to reveal her friends.
Patch watched as everyone split up, into groups and walked in opposite directions.
Still in the DC
JM and I were explaining everything to Spot who was still being difficult.
"Ugh you're thick too!" JM yelled at him.
I smirked "don't worry being thick isn't all that bad" I said as if it would console him.
All the sudden Mitch Cossamano appeared in front of me. Startled beyond belief I blinked (lol) twice.
"Whose that?" JM and Spot asked simultaneously.
"My Italian twin" I said moving to go speak to him, as soon as I got within reaching distance, much to my horror he disappeared, reappearing behind me. I turned and headed in that direction only to have him disappear and show up a few feet away. "Craig? Mitch? This isn't funny," I yelled as they kept appearing in a circle around me.
I wanted to cry, they were there, but not tangible, mirages, figments of my imagination, the lack of sleep must have caught up with me.
I looked over to where JM and spot stood looking confused
"Whats goin on?" Spot demanded, as the twins twirled around me, taunting me, "HELP!!" I yelled.
JM, started humming the Snyder chasing music, either not realizing it, or as a sick joke.
The boys disappeared in a puff of smoke. I sat down in relief, never having experienced such aggravation in my life.
Evil cave:
Patch gasped as she watched the horror "Poor Lizzi" she said then looked at Evil One "You did this?"
He snickered "Yes, and this my friend is only the beginning"
He broke off into evil laughter, slamming the door shut, locking it, flying down the steps and out onto the streets.
Meanwhile
"Guys come on" Flame said impatiently pulling on Apple's and Mush's shirtsleeves. This was the fifth time already she had to drag them along.
"Thank you July" she muttered.
Solid stuck close to Mush's other side and batted her eye lashes
"Want a piece of gum?" she asked holding out a stick of winter fresh, the kind she always chewed.
"What's that?" Mush asked looking at the blue paper wrapped stick.
"It's good. "Apple said.
Mush took it and started to chew slowly.
Solid and Apple stared up at him adoringly.
"Can we go now?" Flame asked.
They nodded, and Mush held out both arms, the girls took them giggling.
Flame rolled her eyes, "Please have us find her soon, or we'll be looking for my sanity next" she muttered, and led them through another alley.
With out warning little Green Jell-O jigglers shaped as scabbers can running out from behind crates and boxes, wielding little cannons full of whipped cream, which they shot forcefully one right after another on the three un-evil doers&Co.
"What the?!" they yelled stomping on the little men, who squished easily, but reshaped as soon as it was off your shoe.
"Let's sacrifice Mush!" Flame suggested pushing him towards the little scabbers, who were still firing shot after shot of whipped cream.
"NO!"Solid and Apple yelled. Flame looked at the three and swallowed heavily.
That's right you guessed it, back in the evil cave
Patch hovered over the crystal ball.
"Oh no Flame!!!" she said watching in terror as the other three started to push her towards the men.
"Please!!!!" Flame yelled "I have work tomorrow!!"
The men multiplied at the mere mention of work.
An evil laugh sounded in the back round, as these new forces advanced quickly, they were taller then the others and shot cherries as well.
"Nooooooo" she screeched "I have FF to write, I can't die!"
"Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn youuuuuuu" a voice roared angrily.
The Jell-O mobsters dissipating into thin air.
Flame breathed a sigh of relief. They all emerged from the alley covered up to their knees in whipped cream, cherries and Jell-O bits.
"These were my favorite pants!!" Solid whined.
Flame glared at her, and snapped "Let's go" dragging them down another road searching for Patch.
The ball fuzzed over producing something resembling the snow static stuff that comes on a T.V screen.
Patch blinked and watched as the ball cleared and unfolded into another scene.
Clink, Filly, Race, and Jake are in another alley not to far off from where Solid, Flame, Apple, and Mush had been
"Race she isn't going to be in there" Filly said, to the boy who was knee deep in garbage looking under an old newspaper.
Jake rolled his eyes at Race's sheepish grin "I knew that." he said.
"Sure ya did num-nuts" Clink said from her slumped position on the wall.
Race frowned "I don't see you doing anything."
Clink gave him a frosty look "I'm supervising"
Race went to retort but was cut off by Filly
"Shut up you two, you sound like spot and July in RP."
Clink shuddered. "Perish the thought" she said
Jake and Race stared blankly at the girls "What?"
Filly shook her head "forget about it."
Jake wandered over to Clink, "you don't do well with the morning hours do ya?"
"Does it show?" she asked with a smirk.
Jake helped her up, "Lets keep looking"
Filly nodded her head, and walked out of the alley.
Just as they were about to emerge out into the sunlight they were attacked from behind by a psycho hairdresser who jumped on race's back and began to snip away at his hair.
"Help!!!!!" he yelled pathetically trying to shake her off.
Clink started laughing hysterically "Your gonna look like Mr. T in no time flat!" she yelled.
"Noooo Mr. Clean" Filly said laughing as Race continued to shake the vicious hairdresser off him.
She didn't let go and continued to snip away at his hair laughing like a mad scientist.
"Mr. Clean gets rid of dirt and grime an grease in just a minute, Mr. Clean stays stronger longer cause there's ultra power in it" Clink sang.
Race shot her a look so deadly clink was lucky to still be alive and breathing too see the mad woman's clones come running for them.
"EEP!" Filly yelled hiding behind Jake.
Clink whirled around from where she was casually dumping pixi stix into her mouth, ultamitly spraying pixi dust everywhere.
The four mad women disappeared, and a deep growl was heard.
Race breathed a sigh of relief and ran his hands over his head.
Clink couldn't take it anymore and slumped back against the wall, clutching her stomach in pain because she was laughing so hard.
Race's quaf was a mess, tufts of black shiny hair stuck up at odd angles, around all the bald spots and patches (Mwahahahaha you know you like that LOL) ribbons were everywhere tied in triple knots around the hair. A huge cat barrette was stuck through his hair in the back.
Filly and Jake were doing their best to contain themselves but with Race frantically patting his head babbiling a mile a minute they too couldn't take it and joined Clink.
"Wha? Why? Help!!!!!!!!" Race cried, Jake walked around Race admiring his hair from all angles.
"It works on you." he said trying to make him feel better. "Don't you think so ladies?"
Filly nodded "Oh yeah defenitly it'll be the latest rave, you'll be a real trend-setter" she said trying her best to keep a straight face and succeeding for the most part.
Clink on the other hand shrieked with laughter exclaiming "It looks like you were attacked with a hack saw"
Jake walked over smirking a little, he took his hat off his head and placed it on hers hoping it would shut her up.
"Ooooooh thanks" Clink said amusing herself with the hat, forgetting about Race.
Filly meanwhile was busily trying to fix Race's hair.
"Well if we…no, but we can…neah that wouldn't work…hmmmmmmm, well we could always, noooo, oh wait hold that thought" she said running back a few allies over she picked up a large straw hat that had a fake bird perched on top, along with flowers and fake fruit that she had seen when they had passed through the alley before. She ran back over to Race.
" Here." she said breathlessly. "Wear this and no one will be able to tell"
Race frowned and put the hat on "I look like an idiot, no one will take me seriously now" he whined.
Clink looked up from where she had been twirling the bowler around her finger and grinned evilly. "Don't worry no one took you seriously to begin with."
Race's frown grew even deeper.
"It's either that or…"Jake lifted the hat "This, you choose buddy"
Race sighed and snatched the hat back, "Fine" he said, none to happily
He starting dragging his feet towards the sunlight again a gloomy look on his face. Little did he know that that hat was no ordinary hat (*sings* there must have been some back in that old silk hat they found for when they placed it on his head he began to dance around ohhhh frosty the snow man...*hits herself* shut up LOL)
It was a hat placed by the hands of evil, for only evil one himself could have tastes that bad.
Race stepped out of the Alley, a bird chirping over head, then *poof* he was gone.
Filly, Clink and Jake stepped out into the light right after Race "where'd he go?" Filly asked looking around.
"Race?" Jake yelled
"Awww he probably went to go check his hair in the mirror" Clink said "I never knew the kid was such a sissy"
Jake frowned "I guess" he said
"Lets keep looking" Filly said "Race knows to meet us a Tibby's"
The next morning still in the evil cave
