Chapter 9:
Slappy's Final Stand
Kyle's Story
Me and Lindsey walked out onto the deck together and tried to cover up our faces as best we can from the rain and wind. The blanket I had in my hand was getting very wet, but I don't think it really mattered much. We ran all the way to the shed, opened the doors and went inside. I closed the doors behind me.
Me: (whispering) We have to find Slappy.
Lindsey: (whispering) We need to find the missing fuse for this shed.
Me: (confused) What?
Lindsey: Slappy took the fuse for the shed. Joey said that we need it to turn the power back on in here.
Me: (sarcastic) Oh great...
The shed was pitch black like it was before, but Luckily Lindsey has a flashlight to light the way. Me and Lindsey slowly walked through the shed to the stairs. We went down them and looked around the room.
Me: (whispering) Where do you think Slappy is?
Lindsey: I don't know -- (shining flashlight somewhere) Oh, what's that?!
At the other end of the basement, the flashlight shined on someone sitting in a chair. We couldn't tell who it was though... Me and Lindsey slowly walked over there to see. Whoever it was, the chair was turned away from us and facing the wall. When we got closer, I turned the chair around; me and Lindsey gasped in horror: it was Joey, and he was -- as Slappy said -- a dummy. Lindsey dropped her flashlight and hugged her wooden brother. I picked up the flashlight and shined it back on Joey.
Lindsey: No! Joey!
Me: (to myself) How does he do it? Every time... he gets one of us... we're always separated from each other...
Lindsey: (very worriedly) What are we going to do Kyle? We don't have Joey anymore!
Me: I don't know... (to myself) Poor Joe...
Slappy: Well, well... now I have all three of ya in one place... heh heh heeehh...
Me and Lindsey quickly turned around to see Slappy smiling evilly.
Slappy: You kids are mine, and you'll do whatever I say for the rest of your lives!
Me: (quietly) No...
Slappy: If you DON'T, I'll turn the both of ya into dummies; just like Joey here, heh heh!
Me and Lindsey looked at each other and than back at Slappy. We both saw him go into his pocket and take out the ring. I gasped.
Slappy: (to me) It's time for you to be my bride and slave!! HEH HEH HEEEHH!!
Me: (disgusted) Nuh-uh!
Slappy: If you refuse, I'll add a sister dummy to the brother...
Slappy glanced at Lindsey; Lindsey hid behind me like I was some kind of shield. I looked at Slappy and bit my lip. If Joey was here right now (in "human") he would know what to do, but he's not. I WOULD just go up and kick the dumb doll or something, but if I miss or mess up, he'll turn both of us into dummies!
Slappy: If you can't decide, than I'll decide for ya; and my personal choice is to make a dummy collection! HA HAAAH, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!
Me: Well that's dumb! If you turn me into a dummy, than how are you going to marry me? -- (quickly) Not that I want too!
Slappy: I'll just find some other girl than, who'll enjoy serving me FOREVER! HEH HEH HEEEHH!! So choose already! Are you gonna be my bride, or are the two of ya gonna be my dummies?...
Me and Lindsey gasped, but than I just remembered something: I still had the blanket in my hand, and I'm pretty sure Slappy can't see it, because it's pitch black in here. I smiled at him.
Me: I say... NEITHER!
I quickly threw the blanket over Slappy. In his confusion, me and Lindsey ran up to him and pushed him down to the ground. Slappy was very forceful, for he was squirming around frantically, so holding him down was really hard to do!
Me: Lindsey, we have to get that fuse from Slappy. When we have it, I want you to put it in while I hold this dummy down.
(Slappy: Hey, get off me you nasty kids!)
Lindsey: But... I don't know how to put fuses in!
(Slappy: Quit it! You're stretching the sleeve!)
Me: I don't know either, but I'm heavier than you, so holding this dude down will be easier for me than for you!
Lindsey: But...
(Slappy: Lindsey, don't listen to her! Get her off me!)
Me: You have to do it Linds! If I need your help, I'll call for you!
(Slappy: Just wait till I get my hands on you chicks!)
I removed the blanket from Slappy, and Lindsey searched him for the fuse. When she got it, she quickly went upstairs to the power box.
Me: (calling out) JUST MAKE SURE THE POWER SWITCH IS DOWN WHEN YOU PUT IT IN!
Lindsey: (in the distance) Okay!...
Slappy: If I ever get out of this, I'll make you all pay!
Me: (sarcastic) I highly doubt it, dude.
It's been awhile, and the power has not been turned on yet.
Me: (calling out) LINDSEY, ARE YOU OKAY?!
... ... ...
Me: (calling out) LINDSEY?!
Slappy: HEH HEH HEEEHH!! It seems that you have to release me to see your Lindsey again...
I bit my lip.
Me: (calling out) LINDSEY?!
Suddenly, the power came back on, and Lindsey was finally coming back down the stairs. She came over by me and smiled.
Lindsey: Took awhile, but I finally did it!
Me: What kept you?
Lindsey: I dropped the fuse and I had to look for it in the dark!
Me: Okay... now... um...
I looked toward the machine with the blade in the middle.
Me: (pointing to machine) Do you know where the switch is for that machine?
Lindsey: Yeah...
Me: I want you to go flip it, and be VERY CAREFUL!
Lindsey headed on over to the machine and flipped the switch. When the machine turned on, it gave off an ear piercing sound that hurt me and Lindsey's ears badly. Me and Lindsey could barely hear each other!
Me: I'LL GRAB ONE END OF THE DOLL AND YOU GRAB THE OTHER, OKAY?!!
Lindsey: OKAY!!
I grabbed Slappy's shoulders while Lindsey grabbed his legs. We got up from the ground and slowly made our way to the machine.
Slappy: (worriedly) Hey, what are doing?
Me: We're gonna kill you...
We were getting closer.
Slappy: If I ever find you kids again, I'll make sure to get revenge on ya!
Lindsey: (scared) That's not good...
Almost there.
Slappy: Don't you kids get it?! I'M INVINCIBLE!! No matter what you do to me, I'll always come back to haunt you!! AH HAH HAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!
Me and Lindsey: ... ...
When we got there, we threw Slappy into the "heart" of the blade. I shielded Lindsey from the wood pieces that flew off in different directions; and then... it was over. Lindsey flipped the switch again.
We both walked around what was left of Slappy. Lindsey kicked his head when she went by.
(voice that sounds very familiar) What the heck...
Me and Lindsey turned to where the voice was coming from and smiled.
Me and Lindsey: (happily) Joey!!
Joey: Hi guys -- (looking around) and where the heck am I?...
Joey got up from the chair he sat on and rubbed his head. Lindsey ran on over to him and hugged him.
Joey: (rudely) Get off me!
Lindsey: (happily) I'm so glad you're back to your old self Joey!
Me: I'm glad that you're alright!
Joey: What happened?
Me: Slappy turned you into a dummy.
Joey: That sucks!
Joey noticed Slappy... at least what's left of him.
Joey: (sarcastic) FINALLY! He's dead!
Me: I know...
Suddenly, Slappy's evil spirit flew out from his remains and started circling around us! We all started screaming!
The Three of Us: (screaming) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!
Than -- all of a sudden -- a magician looking dude came along and trapped Slappy's soul in a jar! I wanted to know who the heck this dude was, but Joey and Lindsey seemed to recognize him!
Joey: (shocked) YOU! You're that magician dude from that convention!
Lindsey: (confused) How in the heck did you get here?
Magician: I'm actually more magical than you kids thought I was!
Me: (very confused) Who the heck is this dude?!
Magician: (looking at me) This must be your cousin that you two were talking about...
Me: (looking at Joey and Lindsey) You were talking about me?!
Joey: (nervously) Yeah... kind of a long story though.
The magician looked at the jar and than at the three of us.
Magician: Thank-you for finding a way to defeat this evil being!
Joey: (confused/ annoyed) Why couldn't you destroy him? Why did you send him to us?!
Magician: I, unfortunately, was a slave to Slappy's will, and he forced me to give himself to you!
Lindsey: But why?
Magician: When you two were talking about your cousin, Slappy wanted to meet her. He said something about her being the perfect bride, so he wanted to go with you to meet her.
Joey and Lindsey: Oooooohh...
Me: (very confused) I'm confused.
Magician: It's okay to be confused by all this, but I can't answer anymore questions for you now... It wouldn't matter anyway...
With his other hand, the magician went into his pockets and brought out a large pocket watch.
Joey: (confused) What the heck is that?
Magician: This will reset time. (glancing at Lindsey) The very second before this little girl noticed Slappy.
Me: Why are you gonna do that?
Magician: The days you went through with Slappy were hectic, were they not?
The three of us nodded.
Magician: So... now I will reset everything and ease your minds...
Joey: But... HEY WAIT!!
All of a sudden, the magician slammed his watch against the wall...
