Thanks guys! For those of you who don't already know, I was going to take this story down on Saturday. But three wonderful people, Rooney Rockz, Angel (angelgirlfmyahoo.com) and micarmine05 (isabelarahotmail.com) said they loved it and I shouldn't take it down. So I thought really hard, and here it is.....
It was all organised. Mia was going to pick Michael and me up for a "special shooting of Lilly Tells It Like It Is". Yeah, sure. What was really going to happen was we would set off for Central Park, but Lars would turn down some quiet back street, and Lars would get out saying that he needed to check something out. I was going to go with him, for some reason Mia and Michael would have to work out themselves. Then we would lock the car doors and call them, then cut off the phone line. Hopefully they would be so distressed they would be thrown together, blah de blah de blah. A little drastic maybe, but I haven't had any fun in a long time, and Lars was fine with it.
So. Mia picked us up and we headed towards Central Park. We were quite near when Lars said "Sorry Princess, but we need to take a detour. I heard that there's a major accident up near where you wanted me to drop you off, and I don't want to get caught up in it. Is that okay?"
I smirked behind my hand as Mia looked quizzically at me and Michael. "Yeah, sure.", she replied.
Lars took a right turn down a small residential road. We followed the streets for a bit, until Lars stopped the car and started to climb out. "There's something I need to check out. Lilly, come with me. Princess, Michael, stay here." And with that he got out, ignoring Mia's questions and protests. I followed him and grinned. Everything was going to plan. So why did Lars look so worried?
"Lars?" I said.
"I really did see something Lilly. I brought you with me in case I need you to run to a phone box or something.
When we reached the end of the street I remembered the camera. "Lars, did you bring the camera?"
"Yeah, hang on", he rummaged around in the bag. "Here"
"Thanks". I switched it on. Mia and Michael were sitting at opposite ends of the limo. "Idiots", I snorted.
Just then someone yelled "Stay in the limo, and don't move". Lars shoved me round the corner. "Stay down", he whispered. He glanced round the corner. "There are five of them", he said, "all with guns".
We were silent for a second. Then Lars said "Lilly, I need you to run to the nearest house and ask to use their phone. Call the police, then Mia's mom and her dad. Okay?"
"Yeah, sure", I said.
"Right then. Go!"
I went. The nearest house was a small bungalow. A little out of place in Manhattan, but right then I didn't care. I knocked on the door. An elderly lady answered. "Yes dear?" She asked.
"I need to use your phone. My best friends in trouble", I said breathlessly.
"Of course dear. Right through here". She led me through a hallway to the living room, then went off to the kitchen looking worried. I called the police, then Mia's mom. Mr. Gianni answered. "Mr. G. you need to come here quick". I rapidly told him what had happened. "The address is 22 Tennyson Gardens. Alright?"
"Yeah, okay", he said, sounding a little stunned.
While I had been on the phone the old lady, whose name was Iris, had come back in with a cup of hot chocolate. "Is there anyone else you'd like to call dear?"
"Oh yeah, Mia's dad." I dialled his number. He was very businesslike, and the conversation was short. After checking that I was okay, Iris went back to the kitchen. It was then that I remembered the camera. I switched it on. When I saw Mia I burst into tears. She was my best friend, I didn't want to lose her. And Michael. I may pretend to hate him but I loved him really. I composed myself and looked properly. Michael was hugging Mia and they were talking, though I couldn't hear what they were saying. Suddenly Michael went crimson and Mia stared up at him, then grinned. I realised Michael had finally told her! I switched it off. The kissing I did not want to see. I smiled through my tears. Something had gone right today.
Just then Mia's mom and Mr. G. came in, closely followed by her dad, and behind him my Mom and Dad. My Mom rushed up to me with a cry of "Lilly!", and gave me a hug.
"Everything's going to be okay. There going round there now", Mia's mom said. "Apparently there won't be any shooting or anything."
Just then we heard a gun go off and Mia's high-pitched scream.
Hope you liked it. Now please review. And thanks loads to aphi72 for answering my question about changing the Princess Diaries category to Meg Cabot so we can put up other stuff like All American Girl etc. Does anyone else agree?
