As a new day dawned, I was plagued by the nightmares of what had happened the night before. Vicky and Jade were there, trying to wake me up, but for some reason, they couldn't. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't. What was happening?

"C'mon Sandy, you're going to be late for the festival!" Jade said.  I was finally able to open my eyes, but I couldn't focus on anything.

"Ungghhhh," I moaned. How had this happened? I had been fine last night! Then suddenly I remembered something. My candy bar had tasted funny...could it have been poisoned?

I couldn't move. Every muscle in my body ached.  What was going on?  Everyone's voices were fading in and out. "Get her some medicine!" someone yelled. Someone else poured a syrupy sweet liquid into my mouth. Instantly everything started clearing up. 

"What happened?"  I asked Jade, who was sitting next to me on the bed.

"You were screaming in your sleep and then you wouldn't wake up."

I tried to sit up, but the spell of dizziness that immediately occurred forced me back down to the pillows. "Can you make the room stop spinning?  I feel really dizzy." I asked her. Meanwhile, Vicky was taking her "You Can Be A Detective!" kit out and dusting my candy bar wrapper for fingerprints.

"Ah ha! A perfect match!" she cried. "Howie poisoned your candy bar!" Just then Howie appeared in the doorway.

"What? That was supposed to be Holly's! I saw her going down to the vending machines!"

Jade and I remembered that we had seen Holly in a dark corner of her own with an unidentified band member. "Guess she got held up," Jade whispered. 

"I really don't care who did it, just make the room stop spinning and the pounding in my head go away!" I cried to Jade.

"Okay, okay." She gave me the rest of the liquid, and I felt better almost instantly. Just then, the closet door swung open to reveal Holly and Bill making out.

"OH MY GOSH!" Harriet screamed. "You DO like him!" Holly and Bill sprang apart.  I still couldn't sit up; my muscles were still really stiff.

"But...how did you poison it?" asked Theresa.

"I refuse to answer on the grounds it may incriminate me," replied Howie.

Everyone stared at him. "You basically incriminated yourself when you admitted you poisoned the candy bar." pointed out Marcia. While all this was going on, Vicky was secretly taking out her Truth Serum from her kit. She snuck up behind Howie and forced him to drink some.

"Now,"" she said, "you will tell us. How did you poison the candy bar?"

"I heard Holly say it was the only kind of candy bar she would eat. I bought it from the vending machine and injected it with a rare drug from South America. Then I rewrapped it and used a hook-like device to put it back in the vending machine."

"Why?" Luke asked. "Why did you want to poison Holly?"

"Simple. If those pictures of me with my thumb in my mouth ever got out, I would be ruined." 

"Dude, you're toast anyways." Holly said. "I have the negatives hidden in a secret spot."

"Do you really sleep with a teddy bear?" Theresa asked, knowing perfectly well he would have to answer truly since he was under the Truth Serum.

"Yes," he said through gritted teeth.

"And is it true that you like to dress him in Barbie clothes?"

"Yes, already!" he yelled, while the rest of the band burst into laughter. This continued for about 20 painful minutes (painful for Howie anyways).

Finally, Vicky looked at her watch. "Oh my gosh! Guys, hurry up and get dressed! We're going to be late for the festival!"
