Yay! I actually got another review! Go me! Because of that one review, I
am writing another chapter. DUN DUN DUN.........................and here it
is
The plane ride would have been very boring. True, Cassie, Abbe, and Ashley all got a row of seats together, but they were in the middle section so not even one of them got a window seat. Not that it was much to see anyway. Cassie jerked from a doze when she heard her name called softly. Her eyes snapped open ans she recalled for a moment that she had been dreaming about running through a sunny field in nothing but a toga while happy deer hand bounded all around her. She then remembered that she was back in the real world, and a very familiar face was staring at her dressed in a stewardess's outfit.
"Jaimie?" she gasped. "What in the hell? Jaimie?"
"Eeeeeeeee!" Jaimie squealed. Jaimie was another friend of the trio, although she wasn't in band. "I decided to come with you," she stated simply. By now, Abbe, and Ashley had woken up too."
"O MY GOD!" Ashley said a bit too loudly. Several people jerked awake for a moment before falling back asleep. "Jaimie, why are you here?" Jaimie shrugged.
"I felt like going to a country where the men had accents. And besides, It was going to be lonely at lunch without you."
"So you disguised yourself as a stewardess, and came onto our plane just so you could be with us?" Abbe asked. Jaimie nodded eagerly. "You go sistah!" Abbe said admiringly.
"So you actually got your mom to let you come to Ireland?" Ashley asked sceptically with a raised eyebrow. Jaimie's face fell.
"I fully expect to be whipped, branded, grounded, and disowed for this," she replied glumly. But brightened again. "But it'll be worth it! Besides, I can just live with Cassie." Cassie shrugged in an ok whatever fashion, and Jaimie went off to get drinks and serve dinner. The three she left behind gaped.
"I can't believe she did that!" Ashley gasped. Cassie shrugged.
Dinner was a terrible thing. Dry chicken with multi colored peppers. Cassie hated peppers. She did however enjoy the three musketeers bar. Then she ate a bit more chocolate and went back to sleep.
Not enough sleep though. The lights came on, the plane touched down, and all was in chaos again. And it was by the luggage when Abbe, Ashley, Cassie, and Jaimie recieved another shock.
"Nicole!" Abbe shouted even though they were only a foot apart. Nicole was Abbe's older sister, and another friend of the group who wasn't in band. "How the hell did you get here?"
"I stowed away in the bass drum case."
"You do realise that Mom and Dad will kill you," Abbe stated. Nicole nodded.
"But it's okay, I'll just move in with Cassie."
"But wait," ashley said. "If you stowed away in the bass drum case, then where did the bass drum go?" Nicole grinned sheepishly.
"Well, there wasn't any room with the bass drum in the case, so I had to leave it behind." Cassie felt her stomach drop.
"Oh NO!" She whispered.
"What? There are more bass drums right?" Nicole asked fiddling nervously with the chain on her pants.
"Nicole! We are a class S school!" Abbe said exasperated. "There is only one bass drum! Now we are all SCREWED!":She ran a hand through her hair while Cassie smacked Nicole upside the head.
"Now Conrad is going to make our lives living hell, and we probably won't be able to play." Ashley said more calmly than she felt. They all waited tensely for some sign that Mrs. Conrad found out about the missing instrument. It came several seconds later.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" A crowd consisting mostly of band students had gathered around Mrs. Conrad who was on her knees. "My bass drum! The one thing more important to me than Knat!" Knat ran forward to lay a comforting arm around Mrs. Conrad's shoulders.
"Somebody get her some tea!" he cried. Mrs. Conrad was now sobbing and murmuring incoherently.
"The magic, the bass, the magic!" were the only words that could be understood. And then she stood up. Knat looked at her admiringly. She looked taller somehow. More powerful, and when she spoke, her voice was terrible.
"WHO DID THIS!" she raged. "WHO? IF I FIND OUT WHO DID THIS!!!!!!!!" She looked momentatily at Abbe, Ashley, and Cassie who shrank back in fear while shaking their heads. Then she slumped into a chair and put her face in her hands.
