Things went bad from the moment we walked in the door. Priya, who was still staring at her foil, tripped over a little girl who was sitting by the door. She did two summersaults before Pietro zipped around and caught her. She looked slightly dizzy and cried out, "My foil!" Her eyes flashed angrily, but then something distracted her. "Dollies!"
She grabbed Pietro's hand and pulled him over to a corner of the store that was a play area. There was a large screen where "Barney's Great Adventure" was playing. Little plastic benches were decorated with stuffed animals and barbie dolls. Priya picked up a teddy bear and gently stroked its face with her finger. Then it caught fire. Priya giggled. "Pretty!"
She picked up a barbie and made it walk off the edge of the bench. It fell on its head and caught aflame as well. Soon there were many smoldering piles of fluff and plastic on the purple tile floor and kids were running around screaming in fear. Then Barney's theme song came on. Priya's eyes flashed with anger. "He…Must…Die."
She pointed her hands at the screen and flames shot forth, lighting the curtains around it on fire. She threw back her head and cackled. "I hate you, you hate me, I chased Barney up a tree. With a great big flame and a burn from me to you, wont you say you'll kill him too."
"Oooh, my head." Priya fell to her knees. "Whats going on? Though I must admit I like all the fire."
"No more sugar for you. Ever." All seven of us got a hold of her and dragged her out of the store before the manager could come over and arrest us.
As soon as we made it outside, we all breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the sugar had worn off.
"Maybe we should go home while we're ahead. Or at least not arrested." Kitty said. Priya came bounding over with a giant pixie stick. "Look what Pietro bought me!"
We slowly turned and looked at him. He was currently pouring pixie dust into his mouth and he nearly choked on it when he noticed all the glares.
"What?" He said, trying to look innocent. "Oh, come on, how do you expect me to resist those puppy dog eyes? They're so cute!"
Priya's giggling interrupted our anger. That look was back in her eyes.
"We have to get her somewhere where she can't cause much damage. How bout a movie?" Jenn sugessted. "And I have just the perfect one."
"It better not be Sense and Sensibility." I told her with a look.
"No, its something much more…mutany."
Fifteen minutes later, we were sitting in our seats watching Orlando Bloom and Jonny Deep sword fighting while Priya sat on the edge of her seat. It wasn't the guys that interested her. It was the fighting and the shinning of the swords. She clapped her hands whenever there was even a hint of a skeleton and whenever there was any on screen romance, she made random people get her more candy. It usually was Pietro, because he enjoyed being rewarded with a smile and a "dhanyavad" at his return.
Jenn tried not to offend Evan by overly staring at Orlando, but she failed miserably every time his or his character's name was even mentioned. The guys complained through most of it that forcing them to watch such a movie was a serious threat to their masculinity, but I think they secretly enjoyed it.
I cowered through most the skeletons by hiding under my coat and hyperventilating. My imagination did not help at all, since every shadow turned into Samara and even the slightest touch made me believe that one of them was behind me, waiting to kidnap me. Priya enjoyed randomly poking me and whispering "We've come for you." In my ear. Kurt tried to comfort me by putting his arm around me, but I thought it was a skeleton and fell off my seat. It took Kurt about three minutes to get me unstuck from all the candy on the floor.
Kitty pretended to act scared to get Andy to put his arm around her, but It's just not the same when it's in you as opposed to gently resting on your shoulder.
By the time the movie was over, Priya was even more hyper that when it had started, so we tried to risk taking her home. We were nearly in a car accident six times. I'm never riding in a car when Priya has sugar again. As soon as we got home, we dumped Priya in with Staci and the rest of us collapsed in our rooms. A few minutes later we heard screams and evil laughter telling us that the sugar still had not worn off. She came running out covered in spam and green cheese. We didn't even ask where priya had gotten it from.
Kurt and I followed Staci downstairs to the kitchen to help clean her up and we found Logan sitting at the table. His ears prickled and he said, "Something's at the door."
We watched him open it to reveal something huge furry and yellow.
"Oh my God, the blob turned into a cat." The cat in question's huge masses of fat were still quivering from climbing up the front step.
"That's not the blob, that's my flabulous cat Sonney." I told him. Once Sonney spotted me, he walked in, rubbed his head against my ankle, and then collapsed on the ground, exhausted from the effort.
He must have walked all the way from my old house. Maybe that's why it took him so long.
"Can he stay Logan, *please*."
"Fine." Logan sighed. "Will there never be any peace in this house?"
"Nope." Staci replied happily, still covered in Spam and green cheese that Sonney was now attempting to eat without standing up.
We finished helping Staci clean up, and then I carried Sonney upstairs to show everyone. Most of the people were either surprized a cat could get that fat, or they burst out laughing as soon as they saw him. Sonney just purred contentedly.
Kurt went back to his room, and Staci and I took Sonney in with Priya and Jenn with the hopes of getting him to exercise. After a few minutes we realized it was hopeless, and I remember that we hadn't shown Andy or Dan. Priya, Jenn, Staci and I snuck into their room to find Andy entertaining the other two with some sort of a song. Andy just grinned and continued singing.
"Hey Woman!
Go make the kids' beds neat!
Hey woman!
Go make me something to eat!"
"AAH! You're corrupting my poor little Kurty with such filth."
Andy ignored me and sang louder.
"My place is at work and your's is at home.
Now watch the kids while I go to the superdome."
"Grrrr. Callete Chispas!" I chucked whatever happened to be in my hands at the moment straight at Andy's face. It happened to be a cat.
Andy had not been expecting this kind of an attack and so he was hit head on by a flying bit of fluff. Sonney knocked him backwards and luckly he fell onto his bed. Sonney trotted annoyedly off him, remembering to step on his stomach as he jumped off. Sonney finally came to rest on my feet and collapsed onto them.
"My tummy…He crushed it."
"He has a tendency to do so." I said, wincing as he crushed my toes. "And don't you dare sing "The man song" to my innocent Klein Kurtty. Or I'll tell Kitty."
"Fine fine. I'll be good…for now."
"I'm still taking Kurt."
I have a funny feeling after we left, he and Dan went back to singing.
