Good-day mate! The coyotes are back for another chapter. Sorry it took so long. My dad restarted the computer so every document was lost including this one. But that's okay because I didn't like what I had written so far on this chapter so it's all-good. It's good. It's goood! (Jim Carrey) Thanks to all reviewers of this story and Clue, which past it's 90 reviewers mark. I'm so grateful to you all for reviewing!! Okay, enough chitchat. Here come the coyotes!
Disclaimer- Do I look like JKR? Well dumb question since you can't see me, but take my word for it, I'm not. Therefore I don't own Harry Potter or Coyote Ugly.
Chapter 4 Stalker
Draco stood there for a few minutes staring at the spot where Mona had driven off. He couldn't understand it. She had only been gone for 4 years. Is it possible to change that much? Several other emotions came back to him. One of them was anger. All this time Hermione Granger was supposed to be dead, and now all of the sudden, she isn't. In fact, she was very alive! Even in his wildest dreams, Draco couldn't see Hermione bar dance or drive a motorcycle. 'What's this world coming to?' he thought as he began to walk out of the alley. Confusement also came back to him. How did she pull such a prank on the entire wizarding world? It's impossible. Draco sighed as his last emotion came back to him. Love.
The telltale alarm clock went off at noon as usual, but Mona was awake already. She couldn't sleep. Seeing Malfoy again was haunting her every step. There was nothing she could do about it either. Mona was not about to run from this life. She loved being a coyote and she wouldn't trade it for anything. There was only one thing to do. Go for a nice long walk to clear her head.
Mona got Perdy's leash and they headed for Lincoln Park. It was a bright sunny afternoon in Chicago. Everything was green again. The walk was going smoothly until Perdy saw something and took off.
"Ack! Perdy! What are you doing?" Yelled Mona. It didn't matter. The leash had snapped in half, and Perdy was on a mad chase through Lincoln Park. Mona sprinted after her. They ran for a while until Perdy finally met what she was running to. Another Dalmatian came running at them and stopped when he saw Perdy. They came up to each other and began to sniff. When Mona finally caught up, she was completely out of breath.
"Perdy! You know better than to run off like that. What were" She looked over and saw the other dog. "Oh for God's sake Perdy. All this way for another dog! Ugggg…" Mona rolled her eyes and went over to see the dog. It was quite the cute one. She realized why Perdy had taken off like that. "Alright, let's see." She said as she looked at his tag. "Your name is Pongo. Your home is on Lake Shore Drive. Wow. Your family must be rich. Your owner would be…"
"Pongo!" yelled a voice. Mona looked up and saw a man running toward her carrying half of a leash. When he saw them, he began to smirk and Mona realized who it was. "Well, Granger fancy meeting you here."
"Of all the people who had to own a Dalmatian, it had to be you. God, someone up there doesn't like me. So let's go Perdy." She said as she began to retie Perdy's leash.
"Oh not so fast Granger. You got away last night, but you won't get away that easy unless you have another motorcycle hidden around here." He said taking Pongo's leash.
"First off, it's Cambell. If you're going to call me by my last name, you might as well call it right. Second, no I don't have my motorcycle here. What's the point of walking if you have a motorcycle right next to you?"
"Fine CAMBELL. But you're still not getting away. You still have many answers to tell me, and I'm not letting you go until I get them." He said grabbing her wrist.
"Alright then, what do you want?" she asked as she began to walk. "It's not that big of a deal. I forgot how exaggerative you guys could be."
"Exaggerate!! Are you crazy? Like I said before, you're supposed to be dead. Old classmate back from the dead only to be found as a bar dancer. This is like an episode of Jerry Springer or Maury." He said as he began to follow.
"No this more like Jenny Jones, but that's beside the point. Now ask your questions so I can leave. I have to go get pizzas and snacks for poker night."
"That brings me to my first question. Why the hell, out of all of the things you had going for you, did you pick to be a low-life bar dancer? You could've found the cure for cancer or something. Why did you throw it all away? You can't possibly be happy here." Said Draco. After he said this, Mona stopped dead in her tracks.
"Excuse me? Throw away my life? I love being a coyote and I'm definitely not a low-life person. I get paid three hundred dollars a night. Besides, I see all the cute guys and get flirt with them. And furthermore, I can't stand medicine. I practically faint at the sight of blood. There's no way I'm going to be a nurse or scientist. Oh and, I'm perfectly happy here. Well, I was until you showed up."
"So you flirt with all the guys huh? How many have you slept with? From what you said yesterday, there were rumors that I slept with almost all of the 7th year girls. Can you beat my supposed record?" he said smirking once again. Mona was about ready to kill him if he smirked anymore.
"Thanks, but I'm still as innocent as the day I was born, and I'm not even going to ask how you knew about my conversation yesterday. There's a large possibility that I don't want to know. And PLEASE stop smirking!!!! Don't make me wipe that smirk right off your face." She threatened.
"What do you have against my smirk? It's not that bad. Why do you think that all of the girls go after me? I have my dear smirk to thank." He said still smirking. They were walking by a bus stop when Mona broke free of Draco's grasp and took Perdy and led her on. Draco was in too big of a shock to stop her.
"See ya round, Malfoy!" yelled Mona as she boarded the bus. Draco started to go after her, but it was too late. She had escaped once again. This was driving him crazy. He was going to get her. 'What did she say that her last name was? Cambell?' he thought as he walked by a phone booth. Just recently, he had learned how to work a telephone and what a phonebook was. He opened it up and looked for her name. He found it and ripped out the page. 'Granger, you can't escape me now.' He thought evilly to himself.
"Hey Miss Coyote Mona!" Yelled the coyotes as Mona answered the door. It was Saturday night, and the coyotes were having a quiet night at Mona's to play poker and watch movies. Mona led the coyotes into the living room as she held off Perdy, who was barking madly. They sat down and dove into the popcorn that was set out. The pizza had not arrived yet.
"Okay Mona, let's cut the small talk. Who was the hottie at the bar last night? He was absolutely gorgeous!" said an excited Taylor.
"Anyone want a strawberry daiquiri? I made them specially for us." Said Mona as she tried to get up and change the conversation. Megan and Kristina, who were sitting next to her, pulled her back down. "Okay okay, fine! That was my worst nightmare. It was… Draco Malfoy. Dun, dun, dun." She said.
"Oh my God! No way! That greasy-haired bastard? His hair didn't look that bad." Said Megan.
"No, no, no. You got him mixed up with my old Potions master, Snape. Malfoy just went gel happy and stuck like a whole container of gel in his hair. This is the arrogant bastard. Big difference. Anyway, I think he overheard our conversation yesterday, you know, at the coffee shop. That's how he found out. Now he's like my stalker. I ran into him while I was walking Perdy this afternoon. He just HAPPENS to have a Dalmatian too. Its name is Pongo, and Perdy just HAD to get the hots for him. According to him, I threw my life away to become a bar dancer, and I'm a slut."
"Oh that's terrible! I'm the slut of the bar! How dare he!" exclaimed Taylor.
"Think of it this way, Mona. What if it had been that Potions master guy who found you. Then he would be your stalker." Said Chelsea trying to make her fell better.
"Yeah then your house would smell because he would be out in the bushes and his hair suggest that he hasn't bathed since who knows when. How could he think that being a coyote makes you a slut? We don't look that bad, do we?" asked Kristina.
"Of course not! We just dress a little differently and more revealing. It sound s like this guy was taken with your new look, Mona." Said Megan winking.
"Shut up! He doesn't like me! We're enemies. You can't leave us alone for even a minute without one of us trying to kill the other. That's just the way life is." Said Mona. The doorbell rang. Everyone jumped up and ran to the door. Mona grabbed her purse and opened the door. Instead of the pizza guy, someone else was there.
"Hello Cambell." Said Draco yet again.
"Holy shit!!!!" yelled the coyotes as they slammed the door.
"What do we do? What do we do? He really is a stalker! Oh my God! He's going to kill us! Well, it's been nice knowing you guys. See you in the afterlife." Exclaimed Chelsea as she began to panic.
"For the love of God, Chelsea!!!! Shut up!!! We are soo not going to die. Let's just slowly open the door and see if it was real. Maybe we just imagined it. We could loose our pizza." Said Taylor in a calm voice. The others nodded and opened the door.
"God you guys are loud!" said Draco as he was rubbing his left ear.
"HOLY SHIT!!!!!!" they yelled again slamming the door yet again. They huddled up together and ran upstairs. Mona ran into her room and locked the door. There was a small scraping noise. Everyone grew tense as Mona opened the door. It was only Perdy. They let her in, and then began to listen to see if he was gone. Megan peaked out the window and saw Draco leave Mona's front porch. He went into his car and drove away.
"Okay everyone! We now return to our regularly schedule program." She said as everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They walk slowly and carefully back downstairs and back into the living room. The pizza guy came soon after. Mona walked up to the door and looked through the peep- hole. She brought the pizza in and they began to eat as they thought of a movie to watch.
"So what's the Saturday night movie for tonight?" asked Taylor through a mouthful of pizza.
"Hmmm… I've got Legally Blonde 1-2,Pirates of the Caribbean, the Indiana Jones trilogy, Austin Powers Goldmember, Chicago, Evita, and Bruce Almighty, but I just watched that.
"I vote for Chicago!" yelled Chelsea. Everyone agreed as Mona popped the DVD in.
"You know, I think we need some new acts or something. I've seen less people come in now. There are still plenty of people, but we need to bring in the crowd again. What we need is a really sexy, dark, dance to do. It always brings in the crowd." Said Megan as she began to deal out the cards.
"I agree. We could always add in some new songs to that old jukebox. There are tons of news songs that we haven't danced to yet." Said Kristina.
"Yeah, but what I'm talking about a dance that we do together."
Mona was staring at the movie. The Cell Block Tango had just started. An idea suddenly hit Mona.
"Oh I've got it! How about the Cell Block Tango! Look, we're all slim and seductive just like them. We can easily dance like that so why not do that?" asked Mona excitedly.
"That's an awesome idea, but there's just one thing. We need six people. There are only five coyotes. No way are we taking in another recruit, and we can't just pick someone out of the crowd. Plus, I can't sing at all." Said Chelsea.
"No prob! We've got Wyllie! I know she would be willing to dance. You can play the Hungarian girl. We'll charm your voice so you can speak Hungarian. It's perfect!"
"You know what? That's a really good idea! Let's meet here today and tomorrow so we can practice. Wyllie doesn't need practice. Chicago is her favorite movie so she knows it by heart. So are you all in?" asked Megan.
"Yeah!!!"
A/N: There you have it! The fourth chapter of Coyote Ugly. Thanks so much for reading!! I'm sorry if I wasn't able to answer all of your reviews! I got so many that when I came home one night; I had 23 messages to read. I do want you to know that I do appreciate the reviews and that I do read them. Feel free to leave me your story names so I can read and review. Super Sycoh and NewSecretRose both wrote great stories, but I don't think I could review one of them because my computer was being mean. So, anyway, until next time!
