CHAPTER FIVE: "WHAT?!"
"Giant freezie anyone?' I asked as we came up behind Mark's. Lindsay agreed to it, but the rest of them stared at us, dumbfounded.
"Flavored ice in a big tube," I told them.
"Any rum flavored ones?" Jack asked.
"No," Lindsay said. "Just blue raspberry, orange, cherry, and grape," she told them. Their eyes widened in delight.
"Sounds good to me," Elizabeth said. We walked into the air- conditioned store (yes, sighs of relief from us all...), and Lindsay asked me if it would've been smarter to leave Will and Jack outside. We led them around the checkout to the freezer. We each picked a freezie out, and then we walked over to get a bottle of pop.
"How about Sierra Mist, Erica?" Lindsay asked me. I agreed, took the 2-liter from her, and Jack cringed.
"If it's as yummy as that Parsley drink, you can keep it!' Jack said with another cringe. I reassured him it was all right, and I pulled out my money so we could go pay.
"Ooo! Loot!" Jack yelled. The clerks turned and looked at us. I smiled nervously at them as I practically wrestled Jack for my money. After Will pulled Jack away from me, Lindsay, Elizabeth, and I went to the checkout. The cashier looked at us as she scanned out stuff.
"$3.15," she said. I handed her my ten, and I looked down at the floor. Then I saw it. I stared in disbelief. I bent down and picked it up. "$6.85 is your change. Thank you," she said. Everyone looked at me as we left the store. I was smiling to the extent that my face hurt.
"What's this, luv?" Jack asked, looking at the small slip of paper clutched tightly in my hand.
"Jack, it's a long lost treasure," I told him. Lindsay shot me a messed up look (Pshh... whatever... lol), and Jack grinned. "It's the missing Cash 5 ticket!" I told her. "It's worth $16 million if we turn it in before 7 o'clock tonight!" Smiles and sounds of disbelief broke out around me.
"How do you know?" Will asked. I told him about it being all over the news, and then we went inside. Will took the ticket from me, walked up to the cashier, and said he had the lost lottery ticket. The cashier (she was different, thank God!) took the ticket, and called the PA Lottery to confirm it.
"You should receive the money in three to five days," she said, hanging up the phone. Will smiled back at us, and he thanked the cashier. When we got outside, Lindsay and I started jumping up and down screaming, "We're rich! We're rich!" "We are?" Jack asked quickly. "Jack, when we get that money, you can have all the rum you want!" I told him. Jack spread a huge smile across his face, and started to dance with us, singing his favorite song.
--My House--
"Oi!" Jack said, dropping Lindsay's bags next to the door. I went over to the fridge (skipping, sorry to say...) with Lindsay, and we got out enough food for a smorgasbord. Jack, Will, and Elizabeth were struggling over at the door still; they were in a pile on the ground.
"C'mon! We're celebrating!" Lindsay said pulling Elizabeth off of Jack. They got sorted out, and Lindsay and I raided the cupboards as well.
"Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate's life for me!" I sang with Lindsay. Jack, Will, and Elizabeth poked around the living room a bit as we got out the snacks.
"Here!" I said, thrusting a bottle of Vodka at Jack (hey, I wasn't gonna disappoint him again!). "Welcome to my living room, luv!" I said (obviously mimicking him). Jack looked down at the bottle and smiled.
"Ooo! Idea!" Lindsay said as she dived onto the couch between Will and Elizabeth.
"What?" I asked. It was bound to be like all of the ideas we had – stupid, pointless, embarrassing, and idiotic.
"Monopoly!" she yelled.
"I'm not playing that!" I retorted. "I'll have to explain!" Oh, God, please curse the man who came up with that evil word...
"Truth or dare!" she said. I thought this over...hmm... truth or dare? This could be good...
"Okay!" I said, bringing in the rest of the food. We sat on the floor in a circle (I sat by Jack! *huge grin*). We (no! I won't write it!) explained (darn it!) the rules. Elizabeth looked excited and willing, so we chose her first.
"Alright, Lizzy," Lindsay said, "truth or dare?" I had the best truth...'Do you like corsets, Elizabeth?'...just to annoy the heck out of her...
"Dare," Elizabeth said almost immediately. I frowned; I wanted to annoy her!
"Okay," Lindsay said, smiling (menacingly). "You've got to... um..." she said, looking around the circle. It better not involve me... "Oh!" she shouted suddenly. "You've got to kiss Jack!"
"WHAT?!" (Elizabeth's thoughts: 'But I love Will...')
"WHAT?!" (Will's thoughts: 'I'm gonna kill Jack...')
"WHAT?!" (My thoughts: 'She's gotta kiss my Jack?!')
"WHAT?!" (Jack's thoughts: 'Will's gonna kill me...')
We all looked at Lindsay, about to attack her. I turned green with envy; how I wish (once again) that I were Elizabeth! Lindsay sat up proudly, Elizabeth gulped, and Will looked at her frantically.
"You won't do it, will you?" he asked her. She looked up, her eyes glancing from Jack to Will.
"I... I really don't know," she mumbled. I looked up at Jack, who was sitting between Will and me. He obviously didn't want to get involved since he was stuffing his face with cheese curls. I didn't blame him, though...sitting between two people who'd murder you if you did something...
"You've got to!" Lindsay said. "It's the rules!" I was giving her a dirty look; she was doing this to get Elizabeth out of Will's picture so she could replace Elizabeth with herself! I seem stupid, but I'm not...
"Fine," Elizabeth said, heaving a great sigh. "Sorry, Will," she said. She looked over at Jack, who was now devouring the cheese crackers (noticing any interesting patterns? I dunno... maybe cheese?).
"Jack," Elizabeth said to him. Jack continued eating.
"Jaaack?" she said again. Yep, you guessed it... still eating...
"Jack!" she said sharply. He looked up, cheese crumbs all over his mouth. He looked at her, eyes widened.
"Yeah, luv?" he asked, wiping his mouth free of cheese. Elizabeth leaned over to Jack, lips puckered. Jack stared at her. Elizabeth waited, but nothing happened.
"Elizabeth," Jack said, "I can't kiss ye', that's Will's job. Besides, he'd hit me."
"You're right, Jack. I would hit you," Will said with a do-it-and-die smile.
"Well!" Jack said merrily, rubbing his hands together. " Wouldn't be the first time!" I stared at him... he was gonna do it. I had a crazy thought to hit him along with Lindsay... Jack leaned in front of Will, an inch from Elizabeth's face. Lindsay grinned, while I was about to... oh, never mind... it wasn't good, let's just say that. It was a tense moment, Will looming over Jack and Elizabeth.
"Pucker up, Liz," Jack said. In an instant, Jack grabbed her, threw her into a small dip (uh... don't ask... lol), and kissed her. After that, all hell broke loose.
...-*°¤°*-......-*°¤°*-......-*°¤°*-......-*°¤°*-......-*°¤°*-......-*°¤°*-...
-- Haha...what do you think will happen? What do you hope will happen? Poor Elizabeth...lol. Thanks for reading, now review! And don't forget, you can ask anything you need to! I'll do my best to answer. So will Lindsay! Write us a review or two, and we'll cya in the next update! --
