Chapter 6: The Dentist Appointment, Horrible Hairstyling, and Scary Stories – yours truly, Jenna

Day 3/Wednesday

"It's not fair," Jordan pouted as he slung his red and black backpack over his shoulder, "How come Lauren doesn't have to go to school today?" "I told you. Lauren has a dentist appointment she has to go to," Sam said to his eldest son, his patience beginning to wear thin with him, which was very seldom since he was such a calm person usually. "Is she coming back to school?" Jordan asked, bending over to pick up his lunchbox. "Yes, son," Sam told him, taking his hand and leading him out to the bus stop.

"Daddy, please hurry! The bus is gonna come and I'll be late!" Morgan urged her father as he tried to put her blue hair up into in a ponytail. "Morgan, honey, I'm trying to do the best I can. I'm not your mother, you know," he said, making a demented looking hairstyle for his only daughter. "There. Done," he said, standing up from the short bed he had been sitting on and wiping his hands on his jeans.

Morgan grabbed the mermaid mirror her mother had bought for her off of her nightstand and looked at herself. She immediately ripped the hair scrunchie from her hair and rummaged through her drawer until she found a bandana that would hide her wild hair. "Daddy, I look horrible!" she said, starting to cry. "Oh, honey. You looked fine," he said, helping her up from the floor, straightening her ice blue sundress, and giving her a kiss on her cheek.

"No I don't. And everyone will laugh at me because my hair is wild!" she told him, brushing her hair down and tying the bandana around her head.

BAMF! Suddenly, Caleb appeared in her room. "The bus is here," he told her, grabbing her backpack and hand as he teleported out of the room with his sister. Kurt put his head down in his hands and imagined what his daughter would be like when she was a teenager. He immediately shivered at the thought of checking out her bizarre and idiotic potential boyfriends. Luckily, all the men would help him with her, as he would do the same thing for them.

"Daddy, I don't, like, want to go! Dr. Krait's breath is smelly," she said, pinching her nose to put enthusiasm on her statement as she and her father walked into the dentist's small office. "Laur, mind what you say. You could hurt somebody's feelings talking that way," Lance told her as he signed her in on the secretary's clipboard. "But it's true," she said, sitting down in a chair next to him.

"Lauren. Lauren Alvers, Dr. Krait is waiting for you," the secretary told her. "Daddy, please come with me?" she begged, a single tear sliding down her cheek. "Okay. Just… wipe your tears," he said to her, taking her hand and leading her into Dr. Krait's dentistry cubicle.

"So, Lauren, how are you doing in school?" Dr. Krait asked as he cleaned off a few of his tools. "Okay," she answered. "Well, open up," Dr. Krait told her, taking his small tools to her mouth. Lauren immediately closer her mouth and turned her head away from the dentist's fingers. "Lauren, please open up?" Dr. Krait asked kindly. Lauren shook her head. "Lauren, open your mouth," Lance said. Lauren quickly sat up and shook her head violently in response. "Nnah," she mumbled to him.

Lance stood up from his seat and looked down at his daughter, saying to her in a stern voice, "Lauren Quail Alvers, open our mouth this minute or you'll be grounded until Mommy gets back from Florida." Reluctantly, Lauren opened her mouth and let the dentist check her teeth. "Good," Lance said, sitting back down in his seat and reclining back.

A few minutes passed and Lance fell asleep reading a magazine. Lauren took this opportunity and bit her teeth sharply down onto Dr. Krait's hand. "Crap! Let go of me!" he yelled as she bit deeper into his skin. Lance jumped at Dr. Krait's yell. Once he realized what was happening, he jerked Dr. Krait's hand from his daughter's mouth, yelling to Lauren, "Lauren! Let go right now, young lady!"

Once the bus arrived at the Institute, Lance dragged Lauren in. "Go to your room and stay there until I tell you that you can come out," Lance said. "Fine!" Lauren said, stomping up the stairs and turning left to the bedroom she shared with Morgan.

"Hey, what happened? I could hear you yelling all the way from the kitchen," Scott said, looking slightly concerned. Lance looked over at his old rival and said, "Lauren… bit… the dentist's… hand," as he stuck his hands down into his jeans pockets. Scott couldn't help but give off a small laugh. "You know, it's not that funny. I'm being sued for assault," Lance said, banging his head against a wall, "On top of that, when Kitty finds out what happened, let's just say you won't see me or Lauren for a few days."

"Let the scary story comtion (competition) begin!" Immy screamed, raising her hands up to the air to add a dramatic effect to the event that was taking place.

"I want to start!" Emma said. "Okay then," Immy replied. "Go ahead," Brad told her. "Okay. The Teletubbies were walking up a cliff. The cliff edge started to crack and they couldn't get off in time. They all fell to their doom. Everyone cried and the sun with the baby in it never shone again. The end," Emma said simply, crossing her arms and giving a knowing look to all of her friends. "NO!" all the Teletubby loving pre-schoolers shouted.

Jenna managed to obtain some courage, not wanting Emma to win the competition when she had a better scary story to tell. "I have a scarier story," she piped up. "We're waiting," Immy said, smirking over at her. "Have you ever heard the story of the Hairy Horseman?" Jenna asked, wiggling her fingers to add effect to the story. "N-n-no," Nathan said as he trembled uncontrollably.

"Well, a lady met the horseman at a park. He told her she was pretty and he wanted to take her for a ride. She said yes. He pulled the reins and took off at a totting (trotting) speed. She asked him to slow down, but he pulled harder. When he did, the lady saw the hair on his arms. She pulled down his hood and looked at a man without eyes or a nose. He was just covered with hair, ugly and tanged (tangled) brown hair. He had a huge mouth and inside was hair too! He bent down to kiss her and her head got stuck in his mouth for a sec. Once she got out, she was never the same again," Jenna finished.

"You're unnatural (unnatural)," Immy cried leaving the room. The rest of the kids followed her queue, running to their fathers for comfort from the disturbing story Jenna had told. "I guess I won," Jenna said happily, skipping out from the living room.
