Ugh, I haven't updated any of this for a super long time. Hope you guys don't mind, but here's the new chapter!
Chapter 8: The Procrastinated Meeting.
*Icetea * gets out of bed and yawns*
*gets dressed, talks to self*
Icetea *: Wow, that was a long sleep...
*checks calendar*
Icetea *: WHAT?!?! I missed...
*counts on fingers*
Icetea *: ... the Meteor Shower, aerobics lessons, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and so much other stuff... And the calendar's all out of whack too! WHAT HAPPENED?
*panics*
Meanwhile, in Java Joe's house...
*Java Joe rolls over, and falls out of bed... POOMPH!*
Java Joe: OW! What's wrong with this stupid hammock?
*gets dressed, walks to Icetea *'s house across the street, tiptoeing through countless weeds along the way; knocks on Icetea *'s door*
Java Joe: Hey, Icetea *? How long did we sleep for?
Icetea * (from inside the house): What? I didn't think of looking for that...
*checks calendar again*
Icetea * (from inside the house): WHAT THE (censored)!!! WE HAVEN'T BEEN AWAKE SINCE AUGUST!!!
*outside Java Joe falls over*
Java Joe: (censored)!!! We had better go see everybody! Maybe the mystery is even solved by now!
*Icetea * and Java Joe get dressed and go visit Bangle*
Icetea *: Hey, look at the sign on her door! She isn't here today.
Java Joe: Okay, then let's go visit Bob.
*troop over to Bob's house*
Icetea *: Hey Bob! Sorry we were gone for so long...
Bob (from inside his house): If it isn't Icetea *! --
Java Joe: AND JAVA JOE!
Bob (from inside the house): -- And Java Joe! I'm a little busy right now, so I can't come to the door; you two let yourselves in! It's unlocked.
*Icetea * and Java Joe go into Bob's house, and sit down by his kiddie table*
Icetea *: What's with the canvas, Bob? You been painting?
Bob: Actually, yeah! Wanna see my newest one?
Java Joe: Sure!
*Bob brings out his framed painting, which is nothing but splotches of paint*
Bob: Taa-daaaa! What do you think?
Icetea * and Java Joe: ........
*Awkward silence*
Bob: Well?
Java Joe: Well, it's a little...
Icetea *: Plain.
*Bob flops down on his bed*
Bob: I haven't been out of the house for months either! I'm afraid the other animals will forget me... So I've been painting in here, with these paints and canvases I found lying around. So I haven't had much inspiration from things outside. My paintings are awful...
Icetea *: Don't worry, Bob! We do like your paintings... They're just... different.
Java Joe: Yeah! Hey, how about a trip outside? It's a wonderful day!
Bob: It's spring? What time is it? What have I missed?
*panics*
Icetea *: Don't ask us what time it is! How should we know?
Java Joe: Let's find Bangle and have another meeting!
Bob: A very procrastinated meeting!
*All troop off to find Bangle; they find her at the wishing well*
Bangle: Icetea *! Java Joe! Bob!!! How y'all doing?
Bob: We're doing OK.
Java Joe: We're all gonna have another meeting about the Admiral shadow thing, wanna come?
Bangle: Of course! I have some stuff to tell you guys anyway...
*Everyone goes to Icetea *'s house, crushing and pulling out weeds along the way as best they can*
Gyroid: MUAHAHAHA! You're all back! Did you try to crush and pull out weeds along the way here as best you could?
Icetea *: Yes, we did try to crush and pull out weeds along the way here as best we could! Just try to shut up during our meeting, alright?
Gyroid: Eee hee hee. Okay! Just as long as you really DID try to crush and pull out weeds along the way here as best you could! Cause you did see the state our town is in right now --
Everyone: SHUT UP, GYROID!
Gyroid: Whatever...
*Everyone sits down*
Java Joe: Okay. What did you have to say, Bangle?
Bangle: I discovered something really important last week or so. I was going to see how Admiral was doing, so I went over to his house. Of course, the monster was there, but --
Everyone: But...
Bangle: I pretended to be scared and run away. As soon as I thought the monster... thing stopped paying attention to me, I snuck behind Admiral's house (which was in shambles) and --
Everyone: And...
Bangle: Stop interrupting! This is important, mind! Anyway, I snuck behind his house, and then I heard someone talking. This is what I heard:
~~ *Past sequence* ~~
Voice: Oy! Shadow, what was THAT?
Shadow: Well, I tried my best...
Voice: That was awful! Be scarier! What are we trying to do, MAKE them come back all the time?
Shadow: Sorry, Boss. I'll be more scary next time.
~~ *End past sequence* ~~
Bangle: So anyway, it's pretty obvious that the voice was Admiral, and that Admiral is making the shadow.... monster...... THING scare anyone who comes near his house.
Icetea *: Sounds like somebody wants some time alone.
Java Joe: No kidding...
Bangle: After that, I ran back home.
Bob: Wow, Bangle... That was great! Looks like we're a lot deeper into this mystery.
Icetea *: Okay, anyone else got something important to say?
Gyroid: ME! Pick me!
Icetea *: I'm not including you.
Gyroid: ...... ;___;
Icetea *: Alright then. People (and animals), try to find out more about this case. We all will; meeting dismissed.
