Thursday came by for the guard members and exited quickly. No one
wanted it to, but it did. Friday brought on the anxiety that the guard
members have never felt before. Not even when Katie yelled at them because
they needed to learn their sets, and quick. No, this was much worse.
The only two people who were the closest to being calm and collective were none other than Michaele and Lindsay. They went through the day as if nothing was happening. Michaele was the one at the lunch table that she shared with Caitlin, Chris, and Rachelle that was calm. Besides for Kyrie because she didn't know what was going on. She was just a flute player, not a guard member.
"So, what are you guys doing in guard?" Kyrie asked as she took a bite of a french fry.
'Uh's and 'um's and 'you know…'s and anything else that sounded like the four guard members were avoiding conversation about winterguard were muttered at the same time. Kyrie looked at them.
"Is it that bad?"
They looked at each other.
"JacqueandLevigotturnedintoamarkerandacrayon." Rachelle said. Caitlin and Chris shoved fries into her mouth.
"Huh? What about Jacque and Levi?" She asked the three who weren't choking on fries.
"Uhhh, Jacque and Levi…" Chris started.
"Jacque and Levi got… uh…" Michaele tried to continue.
"Jacque and Levi got kicked off!" Caitlin said in a rush.
"Really?" Kyrie asked in surprise. "How come they weren't at band practice the last few days?"
"Because they're home sick!" Michaele exclaimed a little to loudly.
"And they've been gone too much, so Katie thought it'd be better if we moved on without them!" Chris said.
The three looked at each other and Kyrie. "Yeah."
"Okay…" Kyrie nodded her head as she took a drink of her water.
The rest of the lunch period, guard was not mention among the four. They ate their fries, pizza, and granola bar ("I'm trying to eat healthier!" Michaele had stated) as they talked and joked about things like they usually did. And you can't forget the classic teasing of the people in the table next to them.
"TJ! Your zipper is down!" Chris said. As old as it was, the four girls started busted out laughing. TJ gave them a scowling look, like always. Before he use to check, but now it was old.
The bell rang at 11:35, announcing the end of lunch. The five got up, said good-bye, and walked towards the direction that was the easiest to get to class. Michaele met up with her friends Adriana, Beverly, and Shauna and the four walked to math (for Michaele and Adriana) and 3D Design (for Beverly and Shauna). They split apart and said their good-byes and walked towards their classes.
They reached their math room and stepped inside to begin another boring day of math. Michaele wished she had taken French so she could hang out with Lindsay and her twin, but she took the evil German class instead. Two years, wasted. She couldn't even remember her basics and she took it freshman and sophomore year! Nicolle (her twin) and everyone else Michaele knew took French, except Gina and her Japanese, remembered it all.
The class finally ended and then it was on to AP History for Michaele, then to English after the bell for sixth-hour rang at 1:35pm. Michaele walked to the computer lab to make a power point presentation for her research project on… France. Walking into the lab, she saw Nathan (her crush) sitting at a Compaq computer. Michaele started to drool and wanted so much to sit next to him, but he wasn't part of her class. The slacker had a free hour. Walking to the other row of Compaqs to join her friend Jennifer, they sat down and started to surf the internet and do their power point presentations, with the occasional talking and Michaele looking over at Nathan.
Mrs. Aguilera announced to the class that it was almost time to go, so to shut down the computers and pack up. As Michaele and Jennifer did so, Jennifer spoke.
"So, how's color guard going?"
"Uhhh, you mean winterguard?" Michaele asked.
"Yeah, that." Jennifer threw her research packet into her backpack.
"It's going fine! Just great! Uhh…"
"What about the annoying freshman you told me about?"
Michaele took a drink of her water bottle as her mouth went parch from the thought. "Uhhh, she got kicked off."
"Really?"
"Yeah… too bad she sucked! Heh…" She nervously laughed.
"Anyone else get kicked off?"
"Levi… but that's because he's sick! Can't deal with an absent guard member during a crucial time! And so is Jacque. So, they're not at school. Really sick, it's pretty bad."
The bell rang, announcing the end of the day and that Michaele had twenty-five minutes to get ready for Friday night guard practice. Rising from her seat, Jennifer and Michaele said good-bye and Michaele went to run out the door. Only to run into Nathan first.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" Michaele sputtered.
"It's okay, Michaele." Nathan said with his gorgeous smile. "What's the hurry?"
'He said my name! It's the second time this year!' Michaele thought to herself before she came back to reality to notice he asked her a question and they had exited the computer lab. "Oh, I have guard practice at three and I have to get down there because I forgot my leotard and I have to be in full uniform tonight to practice, so I have to wait for my mom and that'll delay me getting ready."
"You're walking the wrong way to the band room."
"I have to get my books first."
Nathan mouthed an 'oh'. "So, how's guard?"
Was that the question of the day or what?
"MICHAELE!" Lindsay's voice interrupted.
"Lindsay!" Michaele squeaked. "Nathan, you know Lindsay right?"
"Yeah, we have History together."
"Great! Well, we're in guard together." She looked at Lindsay. "He asked how guard is going."
Lindsay's smile dropped, but came back up again. "Yeah, it's going great. Uh…"
"Jacque and Levi got kicked off because they're sick during a crucial part of our show." Michaele said quickly.
"Uh-huh." Nathan said. "I didn't know Levi was doing guard again."
"Well, he sure thought he was!" Michaele laughed, but stopped. "And now he's not. What a shame."
Nathan nodded. "When do you have a competition?"
"Uh, March 16th at Coronado…" Lindsay said.
"If we have any guard members left by then…" Michaele muttered.
"What was that?" Nathan asked.
"Uhhhh, I said that it sucks we have to go to Coronado, but we can show them again that our guard is still awesome! I mean, we were the only division three guard this marching season to get all the captions and they only got one this season! So, yeah."
"Oh, okay. Well, tell me what time you're performing and I'll try and come." Michaele and Lindsay nodded. "I have to go to Driver's Ed, see you two later!" With that, Nathan walked off.
Lindsay and Michaele walked to the locker bay to change their books to be ready for Monday and to get their homework and walked back to the band room. When they got in there, Michaele's mom had picked up Nicolle and dropped off Michaele's leotard. Dropping their backpacks and taking their bags with their uniforms, they went into the drama bathroom to go get ready. But when they came in, they found Stephanie, Helanna and Megan looking paranoid.
"What's wrong?" Lindsay asked.
"Someone is singing in the girls' bathroom." Stephanie said.
Michaele laughed. "Uh-huh."
A loud tenor voice erupted into song.
"WHAT THE JOHN HAY?!"
Megan had the look of terror. "You don't think they're associated with the owl… do you?"
"No, I don't think so." Helanna said.
"Wait a second…" The voice sang again. "I think I know who that is!" Michaele exclaimed as the four girls looked at her. "It's Mr. Johnson."
Stephanie, Helanna, and Megan screamed and ran out the dressing room. Lindsay and Michaele laughed. The tenor voice hit a high note and CRASH!
"Did he break the toilet?!" Lindsay asked while laughing.
"Uhhh…." Michaele laughed harder.
"Help…" Mr. Johnson said in a small yelp.
They laughed and walked out of the dressing room, only to peek their heads into the green room.
"Mr. J got stuck again." Michaele said in between her giggles.
The whole rehearsing cast of "Guys and Dolls" began to laugh loudly as Michaele and Lindsay laughed all the way back to the guard room door. Opening it up, they screamed. Inside the guard room, looking out of place, was Toby from the movie 'Labyrith'. On his arm was the Goblin King himself… as the owl. Lindsay looked from the owl, to Toby and then to Michaele. Michaele looked from Lindsay, Toby and to the owl. They both screamed and slammed the door.
"Ow." Toby said from the other side of the door. Michaele and Lindsay looked at each other and opened the door up again.
"OW?! Is that all you have to say for yourself? YOU TOOK MY LINE, YOU BASTARD! Only I can sit in the guard room and when people open the door, only I can say 'ow' even though they hit my backpack!" Michaele practically had steam coming out of her ears.
"Uh, you don't want to talk to him like that." Lindsay replied as she looked at Toby and the owl, but still tapped Michaele's shoulder.
"What? Why not? Who is this guy?"
"That's Toby and the owl is the Goblin King."
"From…?"
"Uh, 'Labyrinth'. Duh."
"Uh-huh…" She looked at Toby and the owl. "I'm sorry guys, but you're in the middle of our story, so I'm going to ask you to leave now." Michaele slammed the guard room door shut.
"Michaele, we need to go through there." Lindsay said while snickering.
"Oh, right." She opened the door again to find Toby and the owl gone. "Huh, that's weird."
"Heh, yeah." They looked at each other.
"Maybe we shouldn't tell anyone about this."
"Yeah, I agree."
Lindsay and Michaele opened the other door that lead to the band room and walked in as if nothing had happened. All the human guard members, the band members who were waiting for their ride, and Katie looked at the two as they entered the room. Slowly getting up, Katie advanced over to the two girls.
"Is everything all right?"
"Why wouldn't it be?" Lindsay asked.
"We heard you scream… you didn't hurt yourself did you? Or…" Katie came in closer to the two and lowered her voice. "Or saw the owl."
"You have no idea." She whispered.
Michaele snorted.
"Did you just snort?!"
"Hee hee, sorry." Michaele covered her blushing face.
"So, everything is all right?" Katie asked.
"Yes." Lindsay and Michaele answered.
"Okay, good. Go get your belongings and head over to the gym."
The two girls nodded as Katie departed and went to tell the rest of the guard that was not a writing utensil (yet) to get their stuff and head over to the gym also.
Michaele and Lindsay walked over the guard room again, but stopped. They kicked the door first to see if anyone said 'ow' or not. No one had, so they opened the door and proceeded to get their flag bags. After grabbing their bags and the rest of their belongings, they headed over to the gym for a long practice. Thanks to everyone's stupidity and the loss of two members to the mysterious owl, they now had to try and re-set the show.
As 6:45 rolled along, Katie announced the dinner break. Lindsay and Michaele threw their flags over by their flag bags and walked out of the hot gym and into the cool air. Standing outside to wait for Caitlin and Marie, since they were their ride to Subway, they saw Megan standing outside waiting for Stephanie.
"Hey Megan, what's up?" Michaele asked as she walked over to the freshman girl that was actually taller than her.
"Nothing much." Megan tucked back a piece of her thick curly hair.
"How is the flag work coming along?"
"Pretty good."
Awkward silence...
"Okay kids, lets go!" Marie said as she kicked the gym door open to step outside with Caitlin and Rachelle in tow.
"Yay! Thanks soccer mom!" Michaele skipped over to Marie and Caitlin as Lindsay followed.
A piercing screaming came from behind them.
Lindsay and Michaele turned around and gasped. Pointing their fingers towards the sky, they saw what they dreaded the most.
"THE OWL! THE OWL!" Lindsay said.
"OH MY GOD!" Caitlin ducked.
Marie and Rachelle followed suit and ducked with Caitlin behind a trashcan. Michaele and Lindsay stood and gawked as the owl came down. Megan was still screaming.
All of a sudden, the rest of the guard came running out of the gym. Katie started to cry again and talk to herself why it was always her guard. Chris, Stephanie, Becca, and Helanna stood there and watched the owl from the lobby of the gym as it's large white wings with an eratic pattern of black dots were spread at it's full length, circling above Megan like a vulture. Megan knew she was going to go next.
With a loud scream from Megan, the owl swooped down and began after her. Megan began to run, but was not fast enough because her swim practice the week made her so tired that her legs couldn't carry her. She fell into the grass and bumped her head on the pole of the old marquee that sat outside the old gym. Taking this as an easy quest, he came down, sat on her and...
"Pooped?! What the hell?!" Lindsay remarked.
All of a sudden, Megan woke up and looked down at the owl dropping on her shoulder and the owl that had now taken it's place to watch the show on top of the marquee. Shuttering, she began to claw at her skin like the other two.
"GET IT OFF! IT BURNS!" She began jumping around as best she could. Then... she broke out with that good ole classic dance, the charleston.
"OH MY GOD!" Chris screamed.
Megan tried to jump up and down to get whatever was "burning" her as she did the charleston. The next thing that came from Megan's mouth besides for 'oww! ahhh! burning!' was...
"Do do do do dooo do do, do do do do dooo do..." just like the the Nokia ring tone, Charleston. Lindsay and Michaele couldn't help but laugh.
Megan's charleston became faster and faster and her singing because faster and faster and then she started to scream and sing and dance and jump all at the same time... KABOOM! A large cloud of smoke appeared and withered down to the ground. At that moment, the owl left after the show of another guard member being turned into another marker. Katie cried as she walked towards where Megan once stood.
"Oh my god..." She choked on her sobs as she bent to pick up what was once the living breathing human form of Megan. She was now... a green highlighter. "WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESRIVE THIS! TELL ME!" She fell to her knees and the Megan marker went flying out of her hands and into the trash can Rachelle, Caitlin and Marie all hid behind.
The three jumped up and went to grab the transfigured highlighter that was Megan. Bickering broke out between the three on who would get the marker out of the trash can as a bee flew by.
What a scene it was to see three girls bickering over who'd get the Megan highlighter out of the trash can, two girls who stood on the cement between the trash can and the small grassy area where Katie cried, and the rest of the guard members cowering in fear in the lobby of the old gym that held the head of a dead ram.
"It was green..." Lindsay said.
Michaele laughed. "What was green?"
"The owl poop."
They both laughed as Katie cried again.
*Okay everyone! That was chapter three. Now, I have decided that if you want anymore chapters (because this story is taking up homework and sleep time) I want three (or more) reviews from people I don't know! I might post chapter four without reviews, but I want input okay? I don't want to be wasting valuable time! I waste enough of that four days a week on guard and drumline.
The only two people who were the closest to being calm and collective were none other than Michaele and Lindsay. They went through the day as if nothing was happening. Michaele was the one at the lunch table that she shared with Caitlin, Chris, and Rachelle that was calm. Besides for Kyrie because she didn't know what was going on. She was just a flute player, not a guard member.

"Is it that bad?"
They looked at each other.
"JacqueandLevigotturnedintoamarkerandacrayon." Rachelle said. Caitlin and Chris shoved fries into her mouth.
