Walking into the front door, crepe paper hung from the ceiling and a small
fog machine billowed smoke around making it like a foggy night. Before we
went any further, we all pulled our masks down since that was the whole
theme of the dance. Holly, Fast and I walked past the ticket taker since we
had worked on the decorations and got in for free. The gym was already
packed with people of all sorts of costumes. I saw a Frankenstein, Dracula,
Mummy, several football players and superheroes.
The Monster Mash started up and while everyone else was dancing, Holly, Fast and I went in search for Xander. His would be the easiest costume since he was the same thing year after year. Though there were many Scream outfits, Xander's was different from the others. His mask was glow in the dark. Being down on the same level didn't help so I moved up the stairs of the bleachers. We looked around for the glow in the dark mask.
"There he is."
I followed Holly's pointed finger to see Xander dancing with a cheerleader or someone dressed like one. The three of us hurried down the stairs to go meet up with him.
"Um, Billy, can I talk to you?"
Since Billy was one of the originally killers in Scream, that was the code name that Xander and I figured out in case we needed to talk. He looked at me and nodded.
~*~*Drake's POV~*~*
I can't believe she hasn't figured out that it's me and not Xander. When I told him of the complete plan to introduce the guys to her, minus the 3rd floor bit, we switched costumes. He was now Charlie Chaplin. Christian was off in the corner in a cowboy outfit; Aaron was in the hockey jersey dancing with Janice who was a witch. Gabe was dressed in lightweight metal that made him look like he was from the latest version of Romeo and Juliet. Lastly Max was dressed like a pirate. If Trey had come, he would have been the pirate, but Trey couldn't make it.
Dodger pulled me off to the side of the gym from everyone.
"Listen Billy, I've got to tell you something. You know how lately I've been getting these weird things happening to me? The phone call, the hat?"
I nodded. I didn't trust my voice.
"Well before Fast, Holly and I got here, we had another incident."
I watched as she pulled the envelope that Xander had put in her jeep earlier.
"I got this earlier and believe me it freaked me out since no one can get into my jeep without the keys."
Little did she know that I could pick locks. She handed me the paper and I pretended to look at it.
"So what do you think?"
Okay she wanted an answer..the voice box! I take it and put the box in front of my mouth.
"Have you found the girl?"
She shakes her head.
"Well I'll look on this side. You go check the other side."
She nodded and started off for the other side. As I watched her leave, I told this girl Fast and Holly to mingle through the crowd. Once they left, I went to get Janice and we went to find Alexia to give her the next envelope to give to Dodger. This was going to be the most memorable night ever.
~*~*Dodger's POV~*~*
As I searched the opposite side of the room from Xander, I tried to look for one of the disabled girls. We had three in our school, Alexia, Morgan and Misty.
"Leon should know if they're here or not."
I head out the doors to the ticket table where I saw Leon in an astronaut costume counting the money.
"'Ello dere space man."
He looked up and I saw his smile.
"Why hello there. I see we have a traveler in our mists?"
I laughed and as soon as the room was as crowed, I took a quick seat next to him.
"Leon, I need to ask you something."
Seein that I had a little concern on my face, he pulled me off towards the pop machine.
"So what was it that you wanted to ask me?"
"Has Alexia, Morgan or Misty come to the dance?"
Leon thought for a few minutes and I looked at my pocket watch. It was 7:45 and that meant I only had 15 minutes to find the person.
"Now that I remember, Alexia is here because I had to lead her past the crepe paper."
"Great. Do you remember what she's here as?"
"She's here as Frankenstein's bride. Stand up hair and all."
"Thanks."
I left Leon and went in search for Holly and Fast. The gym was getting crowded and I started jumping up and down to see if I can find them. With the type of lights we were using, Holly's costume would show up very easily. I noticed the white contrast with black wings and knew that was Holly. I wove my way through the crowd.
"HOLLY!"
I yelled over the music. She turned and looked at me.
"FIND HER?"
"NOT YET. 10 MINS LEFT THOUGH."
"WHO IS IT?"
"ALEXIA. SHE'S DRESSED LIKE FRANKENSTEIN'S BRIDE."
"I'LL GO FIND FAST. YOU SEARCH FOR ALEXIA."
I nodded and soon went in search for Frankenstein's bride. For several minutes I couldn't see anyone who looked like a bride, but I soon saw tall hair with a white streak by the refreshment stand. I made my way over and tapped Alexia on the shoulder.
"'Ello Mrs. Stein."
She turned around and smiled at me.
"Well I see I have a Brooklyn person in my presence."
"Youse are right miss. By da way, do youse know what in what way the wind doth blew means?"
"Oh yeah, that's talking about the wind machine blowing the smoke around the place. I felt it when Leon led me in."
"Thank youse once again."
I gave Alexia a handshake and then got sight of Fast and Holly by the door. I pulled them out into the bare room and once I was sure no one was around I told them what Alexia had told me.
"In which way the wind doth blew means the wind machine blowing all the smoke around. If we find that and go the direction of the wind we should figure out what's next. We've got 5 minutes, lets go."
Fast, Holly and I made our way quickly to the stage and saw that the fan was blowing towards the far wall.
"This way guys."
We stayed close to the wall of the stage and made our way across. Once we were to the other side, I looked around but didn't see anyone who resembled the pictures. Just as my pocket watch clicked to 8 o'clock, a tap came to my shoulder. I turned around to see a tall cowboy standing in front of me. For a while he just stood there, looking me over like I was a piece of meat. I gave a quick shiver but soon made my composure. From watching Newsies so many times, I had grown a very, very stiff backbone.
"'Ello dere. What do youse want?"
"Are you known as Dodger?"
"Dat's right. I'se part a da Midtown Newsies till I'se come ta dis place. Who are youse?"
I watched the facial reactions of the cowboy as I spoke. A smirk that I felt was oddly familiar came to the face. Watching him, I felt the mood shift to a slow one as a slow song came on over the speakers.
"I'm known as Cowboy and since I have this feeling you're a lady, I was wondering if I could have a dance?"
"Well youse right. I'se female, but I ain't a lady. But I'se could take me time and dance wit youse."
The Cowboy took my hand and led me away from Fast and Holly. In the middle of the dance floor, he held my waist as I put my hands on his shoulders. He was about the same height as Drake.
"You miss are quite extraordinary from what I've been told. Bold, outgoing, a person no one would want to mess with."
"Well seems youse been doing 'omework. All dat is true. I'se highly respected around dis place like da great Spot Conlon was of Brooklyn."
I watched the Cowboy's face do a quick light up when I mentioned Spot. It was rare for me to find anyone who knew of the Newsies.
"Yes well, I have a present for you from someone."
I saw him reach behind his back and pull out an envelope similar to the one that had been in my glove compartment. The slow song ended and another fast one came on.
"Hope you have fun tonight miss."
With a tip of his hat, he went and I lost sight of him in the crowd. I made my way back to Fast and Holly and we went to the stairs where we had searched for Xander. I opened the envelope and pulled the sheets of paper out. I took a quick glance at the lines and then read them out loud so Holly and Fast could hear them.
Dodger dear,
I see that you have figured out the first riddle to my wonderful night and have gotten this envelope from The Cowboy. He's a charmer isn't he? Well I must say, I didn't think you were going to get the solution by 8 at first, but I have been told that you can be very stubborn until the end of things.
Now time you were onto your next adventure.
So now you've found the special girl, who gave you your first answer. Now is time to think again, tis time to find a dancer. It's not a she, but a he, and a handsome one at that. He'll tell you how to get farther and how to find the cat.
Hope that little riddle helps. I'm giving you more time. 9:30 is the final time before something happens. Good luck.
I looked up at my friends.
"A dancer? But everyone's dancing and what is this about getting farther and finding the cat."
"I think this person means someone in a costume like Fast's. The other two I have no idea what they mean."
I sat on the stair trying to remember if I had seen someone in clothes like Fast's and trying to figure out what cut the cow and find the cat meant. I looked out onto the dance floor to see everyone moving about having fun. Why was this happening to me? This was supposed to be my final year and some person was trying to torment me.
"Guys, lets not waist any time. I want to get this stupid adventure done and over with so I can enjoy tonight and have fun with my friends."
Both Fast and Holly nodded and decided to look around the dance floor for a dancer that stuck out. I saw many costumes that were similar like the Scream ones, but I never saw Xander. I didn't even see the Cowboy though there were a lot of them around. I saw Leon come towards me doing a walk like he was on the moon.
"'Ey dere."
"Hello. Did you find what you were looking for earlier?"
I nodded and as a slow song came on again, I took him arms and we danced in front of the stage.
"Youse wouldn't by any chance have seen a male dancer come in 'ere?"
I could feel Leon giving me a duh look as he pointed around us.
"I'se mean one actually dressed like one."
Leon gave a short laugh and then while we danced he was quiet trying to think. Near the end of the song he finally told me something of importance.
"When I was working the table, I noticed one guy come in dressed as a dancer. He was dressed as a morocco dancer, tassels on the clothes and everything. I haven't seen him around, but if I do, do you want me to tell him your looking for him?"
I nodded. With Leon helping in search for the guy this would help. The song ended and I made my way to find Holly and Fast. I found Holly by the refreshments and told her to keep a look out for a morocco dancer.
"'Ave youse seen Fast?"
She shook her head.
"Not since we split. She was supposed to take the far side of the gym. She might still be there."
I nodded and started towards that area. A salsa tune came on over the system and soon a giant circle was formed. Two figures danced in the middle. Pushing my way through, I couldn't believe my luck. Dancing there was Fast and the mystery man I had been looking for. The way the two of them danced, you would have thought that they had practiced together. When the song finished, everyone clapped and I waved Fast over and lucky me, she brought the male dancer with her.
"Hey Dodger. What did you think?"
"I'se 'ave ta say dat was great. Who's your partner?"
We looked to the dancer and he smiled at us.
"Madams, my name is Fabio."
I gave a laugh, knowing full well that the person couldn't be, there was no one named Fabio at the school.
"Nice ta meet ya Fabio. Da name is Dodger."
"Ah, I was told I would be meeting up with you tonight."
Fast and I looked at him oddly. I saw through Fast's mask that she figured out that he was the dancer we were to look for. I pulled the two of them towards the back wall so I would be able hear them and be able to talk without yelling.
"I'se 'ave a few questions for youse."
"Alright."
"Who told youse dat youse would see me?"
"Don't know. I just got a phone call earlier saying that I had to give you answers."
Damn, I was no closer to finding out that this person was nothing more than a figment of someone's imagination.
"All right. Foist, what does getting farther mean?"
Rather than saying any words, 'Fabio' just started towards the doors. Fast and I looked at one another and then quickly followed him. We found him outside the school.
"Well?"
He handed me a candle that had a note around holder.
Hello Dodger, this will help you get farther on your adventure. Have fun.
Grr. this guy was getting on my nerves.
"Does dis 'afta do wit finding da cat?"
'Fabio' nodded.
"Somewhere around the school is the cat. It's by water so look carefully."
He then looked to Fast.
"Would you like to have another dance?"
She looked to me, and then looked back at him.
"I'd love to but I don't want to leave Dodger alone. She might need my help."
Before us was a guy that seemed to be interested in Fire and she was starting to blow her chance.
"Go. Tell da angel dat I'se fine witout you guys. Dis is my problem and I'se want youse two to 'ave fun."
I could see some worry in Fast's eyes but she soon disappeared back into the school with 'Fabio'. On the rim of the candle's holder was a match so striking it on the wall, I lit it and then turned it to my candle. Once that was lit, I tried to think of where water was in the school. I turned the corner of the school and started for the back door of the school. Using the candle I walked along the sidewalk till I came to the door. Opening it, I saw that the hall was completely black. I could hear the music coming from the gym, but very faintly.
"Now, where is this water? The water fountains."
I looked down the hallway and noticed a plump figured sitting beneath one of the fountains. I set the candle down and picked the cat up. It was of Garfield and he had a tag around his neck.
Found the cat, good, good. Next step is to find the owner of the cat. He's not big, but small. With a patch over the eye, you'd think he would be scary, but in Central Park he's best known. Have fun.
What in the world does Central Park have to do with anything? Okay, the only clue I've got is that he's wearing a patch and is small. Well, better get looking. I hear the faint click of my watch turn to 9. 30mins. But this shouldn't take long.
A/N: Okay, I finally finished that chapter. This story has been giving me a lot of problems. I know how I want to end, but getting there is the hard part. Well here come the disclaimers. I don't own Fastdancer, Christian Bale, Aaron Lohr, Gabe Damon or Max Casella. I don't own the costume Gabe wears. That belongs to the costume department that did Romeo and Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio along with the Scream costume, which goes to the movie Scream. Garfield does not belong to me but to someone else much better than me. I do own everyone else though. Well I'll talk to everyone later. Until
The Monster Mash started up and while everyone else was dancing, Holly, Fast and I went in search for Xander. His would be the easiest costume since he was the same thing year after year. Though there were many Scream outfits, Xander's was different from the others. His mask was glow in the dark. Being down on the same level didn't help so I moved up the stairs of the bleachers.
