Part Seven: The Truth
[Hey, about the Brave Man part, I wanted to do this thing with Squid and stuff but after I posted the chapter I decided not to do it so just pretend it wasn't there, k? lol....I see a lot of you were confused about that in the reviews..]
Michelle started to cry in Becky's lap. Becky's gently patted her on the back. The boys sat down on their couch along with them, trying to give them comfort.
"It's really great that you guys came." said Jason.
"D Tent sticks together. Right guys?" said X-ray.
"Right." they all said proudly.
Becky smiled. Then she jolted up like she remembered something. "Magnet, did you pass on that box I sent you?"
Magnet hesitated. "Not yet."
"Oh. Ok."
"What box?" asked Squid.
"Yeah!" said Armpit.
"It's a pass-on box I'm sending to you guys. It'll get to you soon." she said, leaning back, still holding Michelle.
"Oh....."
There was a small silence, and they could hear the music starting up again.
"Do you guys want to go dance again?" asked Jason.
"No." said Michelle.
"Um, yeah, I think I'm gonna go dance again." Becky got up, giving Michelle another hug. "It'll be all right." she said.
Becky and Magnet didn't dance where everyone else was. They went outside on the porch, where you could still hear the music.
"Becky, I......I need to talk to you." said Magnet.
"What? Is something bothering you? Because lately it seems like it."
Magnet sighed. 'Hilary goes to my school." she said.
"What? I thought she was in jail!"
"I know! Someone in her family must have got her out. She keeps trying to blackmail me."
"Oh. How many things can go wrong NOW? We must have gotten Caveman's curse or something."
It was supposed to be a joke, but neither of them were in the mood to laugh.
"Has she been giving you a hard time?" Becky asked.
"Yes."
"I think that's very odd..... what is she trying to blackmail you of?"
"She says if I'm not nice to her she'll tell everyone that I did all those things to her that she did to me."
"I'm gonna kill her." Becky muttered under her breath angrily.
"Just forget about it for now." said Magnet. He had wanted to do something else now.
"All right." she said, still sounding angry.
Magnet kissed her, as they danced to the music that was playing inside.

X-ray was getting some more cheese, then he sat down with the rest of the boys.
"What do you think that letter was" he asked.
"What letter?" said ZigZag, looking up. His hair was getting frizzy again.
"That letter she put in the grave with her grandfather."
"OH! That letter. I dunno. I think she thinks her grandfather can read it."
"Hey! I mean, she can talk to Kissing Kate Barlow, and Sam. Maybe she'll be able to talk to her grandfather too." said Squid.
"Do you think that's true? That she can talk to them?" said armpit.
"Are you calling Becky a liar?" said squid.
"No! No! Of course not. I just don't see how that's possible." said Armpit.
"Well, it just is."
"All right, jeez." said Armpit.
"Do you think anyone else in her family can see them?" Twitch wondered aloud.
"Maybe."
"Then why don't they just try to talk to their grandfather?" said X-ray.
"Maybe they can't yet. Or they didn't think of it." said Twitch.
"Maybe the ghosts only come when there's a problem. Like Kate and Sam came because they wanted to save God's Thumb." suggested Squid.
"You sound just like Becky." said ZigZag.
"What do you mean?" Squid asked, sounding confused.
"She always has a weird answer like that."
Squid smiled. "Yeah. You're right. That's what I like about her."
Suddenly they were all gaping at him.
"What?"
"You just said you LIKED her!" said X-ray.
"Yeah, as a FRIEND! Maybe I should get Zero to spell it out for you." said Squid.
They were shaking their heads. "No. We saw that smile on you're face." said ZigZag.
"No, I don't like her in that way! Now just shut up or I'll knock you're teeth out." the boys stopped talking, but when X-ray went up to get more food, they heard his mutter, "That's what Magnet said.
[Sorry! these chapters are so much shorter than the Caves one.... Anyway, I might make them longer as the story goes on....]
