CHPATER SIXTEEN: "Where did you get cymbals?"
We jumped out of the roller coaster, and Holly saved the day by hitting the emergency stop button on the wall. We heard later news that twenty-six people were admitted to the hospital, injuries ranging from bumps and bruises to broken arms and concussions. Oh, and the coppers are also looking for us, but no biggie, right? After that, we fled the ride, and Holly called her mom's cell phone. Holly got permission to spend a few days with us. Wonderful... another one...
The ride home was out of the question. JP, being the only one eligible to drive (hey, one more year and Holly, Robbie, and I will be cruisin'!), was too pooped to drive the fifty miles home. We drove to a Holiday Inn up the road, all the while trying to convince Holly that the pirates weren't the celebrities ('I hugged a pirate?' Holly asked, looking at Jack who was on the van floor.).
We checked into the Holiday Inn and booked a luxury suite with two conjoined rooms. Holly was sorta in the dark on how we could afford such great rooms, but hey, it worked for us. We all boarded the elevator excitedly, but the pirates were clueless about where they were. After a quick explanation (throws Lindsay's stuffed Will doll 'Hey!' Lindsay yells. stab murder resurrection), Curious Jack struck again...
"Hmm... what's this?" Jack asked.
DING THUD
"Whoa... very peculiar..." Jack said as we got to our feet. "Again!"
"No! Don't press the-"
DING THUD
"Will you cut it-"
DING THUD
"-out?!"
DING THUD
"STOP!" Jessica yelled. JP and Will tackled Jack. Jack stretched to reach the button pad with all of his might. It wasn't working...
"Let me do it one... more... time!" Jack gasped.
"Ah no you don't!" Lindsay said. She, Jessica, and I jumped onto Jack (''I'm gonna kill all of ye' when I get up!" Jack yelled.). Holly and Elizabeth were silently against the wall looking on, and then Holly spoke to Elizabeth.
"Dude, your boyfriend's hot..."
-- Midnight --
Holly, Jessica, Lindsay, and I shut the door to the boys' room, stepping into ours. We had to leave Elizabeth with the guys (which left us all a little upset envy), but she'd be safe with the rooms conjoined and all.
We spent some time on the balcony telling Holly the whole story. It took a long time, but Holly understood by the time we climbed into bed for the night.
"So... Robbie showed up after Jessica, but before JP?" she asked.
"Yeah," Lindsay said. "Me and Erica were the first ones they met."
"And attacked..." I added. Jessica reached over and turned the lights out.
"I feel bad for JP," Lindsay said quietly.
"Why?" holly asked.
"He's sleeping in a room full of pirates for God's sake!" Lindsay said shrilly.
PUMF
"Shut up," Jessica said drowsily after hitting Lindsay with a pillow. "No one'll ever get to sleep with your big mouth runnin'." Lindsay gave a 'whatever' look to Jessica, and she slipped down into her covers. We exchanged 'good nights', and then I got a little confused.
"Good night, Will..." I heard Jessica say. I sat up. What about Jack? What happened to the obsession she had with him?
"Whoa... what happened to Jack?" I asked her.
"Well, I've already gotten to hold his hat, so my next target is to wear Will's shirt," Jessica whispered to me.
"You sure you wanna do that? Lindsay likes him, too, you know..."
"I do know! See, when JP goes back to California on Wednesday, Lindsay and I are ganging up on Liz, tying her up and throwing her in a closet, and then we'll get Will!" Jessica explained (spontaneously throws phone at Jessica "OW!" Jessica screams.). I raised my eyebrows at the crude plan.
"Uh... good plan..." I said, turning to go back to sleep.
"Thanks!" Jessica replied happily.
"Good night..."
"Woohoo (uh... ok...)!"
I tried falling asleep by reliving the Phantom's Revenge roller coaster ride. My ride soon faded into a dream. I was falling down that huge drop, flying into the rainbow turn, hitting the caterpillar bumps, then the clashing of cymbals in my ears... hey... what? Cymbals?
"Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate's life for me!" Jack yelled. I looked up and saw Jack jumping on the end of the bed, clashing a pair of cymbals as loud as he could. The sun was suddenly up, and the alarm clock suddenly read 8:30 AM. I looked back up at Jack.
"What are you doing?!" I screamed over the cymbals.
"Whatever I want!" Jack yelled back as he continued jumping.
"He's a dinosaur!" Will said, coming form the kitchen (Hey, isn't that Lindsay's line?)
"Thank ye', Will!" Jack said as he stopped jumping and clashing the cymbals together (my ears were still ringing... ugh...). "Now, give me that rum!" Will handed Jack a bottle, and Jack began chugging it straight. I sat up and looked around for Holly, Lindsay, and Jessica. Of course, gone when I need them most.... I looked around the room to see five familiar heads popping out from the boys' room's doorway. As rum spilled on the blanket beside me, they came running up to the end of the bed and pulled the comforter out from underneath Jack. He came crashing down next to me, cymbals and all.
"You ok?" I asked him. Jack was dazed... I started to laugh.
"More... rum!" Jack said drunkenly, shaking the bottle lightly in the air. We all began to chuckle a little as Holly and Lindsay helped me out of the bed. JP and Will helped Jack up, and then the pirates went into the kitchen across the room.
"Hey Jack?" Jessica yelled to them in the kitchen.
"Aye?" Jack responded. We heard a loud crash come from the kitchen, and then we exchanged looks of confusion. Jessica proceeded with caution to talk to them; it was like she was waiting for a knife to come flying out of the kitchen to kill her or something.
"Where did you get cymbals?" Jack didn't answer, but another crash immediately followed Jessica's question. We jumped back a bit in surprise. The crashing reminded me and Lindsay of the night Jack, Will, and Elizabeth had appeared in Lindsay's grandma's house. After another deafening crash, Will replied.
"Weird group of men in the next room," Will said. "Very odd drums and junk..."
"Guitars?" Lindsay asked? Another crash from the kitchen... We were getting very skeptical.
"What are they doing?" JP asked. Jessica and Holly chimed in on the question as well, and Lindsay and I heaved two big sighs. Another crash... Lindsay and I, having seen all of this happen before, lead everyone into the kitchen.
"What is it with you people and kitchens?!" I yelled as the five of us squeezed through the kitchen door.
"Well, ye' see, luv –"
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
We fell silent to hear the knocking at the door again. We tried to rush out of the kitchen to get the door, but we were (once again) in a pile at the doorway. I turned back to see the pirates weren't anxious to get out of the kitchen.
"C'mon! Get out here!" I whispered loudly. Jack stood up.
"And you're gonna make me?" he said with a sly smile. I looked at him.
"Oh... forget you..." I said, going out into the room. I stood next to JP and Lindsay (who had survived another pile-up), and Jessica ran to get the door. But where's Holly?
"Who's there?" Jessica asked with her ear to the door.
"Uh... we lost some cymbals and wanted to know if you'd seen them or not," a voice said. A familiar voice... "You might know us – Chester, Rob, and Mike? We're from this band called Linkin Park, and –"
Of course, I didn't here that bit because I'm still trying to figure out where Holly disappeared to ... I leaned over to ask Lindsay. "Where's Hol- LINKIN PARK?!" I screamed.
"Whoa... my ear..." Lindsay said. She shook her head, and Jessica ran up to me, and the three of us were jumping up and down like crazy. JP said he was a huge fan just like us, and we were just freaking out. Holly's gonna kill herself if she doesn't get out here soon...
CRASH
"Are they still in there?" Lindsay asked as we turned to the kitchen.
"No... what was your first clue?" I asked her.
"People! Chester – is – here. Forget – about – the pirates," Jessica said., We turned back to the door, and Jessica ran back over to open it.
