Thanks for the reviews. Thanks for the advice, as well. I was meaning to add Katie into the last chapter…but that's not how it played out. Sorry folks, but as I said this ain't a mary sue -- so naturally there is nothing going on between Billie and Freddy -- just cold hard friendship. I've began writing this…twenty minutes till new years day -- and I hope everyone has enjoyed theirs.
Guess what? My new obsession is…The Bad News Bears… I know -- I know - the first movie was made back in 1976 -- but it's a classic. And all classics are good are they not? I've seen the first one. But I've been searching for the second -- and I can't find it! I did find the third at family's video however. But from…EVERYBODY -- it's supposed to be a real stinky. So if anybody like finds the film or book…anywhere…PLEASE email like a scene or a part…I will forever be in your debt…PLEASE…
That there song is by…I forgot his name. But it's not the version from Lenard Cohen or whatever. That version sucked. It's called…EVERYBODY KNOWS…original, eh? I got it from Pump up the volume -- it's at the beginning when the credits are starting. It's a great song -- so if you ever get hold of that video -- I advise you to check it out.
I have decided to drop the 21 jump street quotes -- unless of course - you don't want me to. If so just say so in an email or review. It's no trouble, I just figure it to a nuisance (Is that spelt right?) - so if you want me to continue with em I'd be far FAR too glad to.
The Point of No Return
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor
The rich get rich
Katie rapped hard on the white front door. She wiped her sweaty palms on her jeans for the fifth time in the last minute. Stefan answered the door. It was a wonder why he ALWAYS answered the door when he hated every person that knocked. Nobody ever visited the Mooneyhams unless they were friends or associates of Zack's. Stefan and his sister had no desire of ever making any friends in this part of the neighborhood - and the Mooneyhams were old - they had already grown out of their friends. Sure they were friends with the neighbors…but those were the sort of friends that you do not visit.
"Hey Stefan," Katie greeted pleasantly. She had always been the sort of treat people she hated the most kinder than those she adored. It was weird sure…but it was also nice. An eye for an eye will make the whole world go blind. (Ghondie) She walked past him, slightly knocking him out of her way. Marta was right behind her. They had actually grown quite close within the past few days. Katie was actually shifting slowly into the whole 'rocker' look. She clearly still wore the uniform - but her street clothes had been changing. Baggy, loose, mostly dark colors. Her parents resented it and clearly believed that she only dressed this way to fit in with her friends. But that wasn't so. This WAS who she is. It's not an act. She was never that sort.
Marta had stuck true to herself as well. She wore hip huggers, bell bottoms -- mostly light blue jeans. Her shirts were short but not too short. She also didn't exactly complain about wearing the loose baggy clothes. Her perfect blond hair hadn't been cut for quite some time. It was now down to her elbows and was just magnificent.
Katie knocked on Zack's door before barging in on her own accord. All the heads turned toward the two intruders. Zack, Freddy and Sara. Justin had joined the trio as well, but he was now snoozing away on Zack's bed. Zack and Freddy were now sitting it two wooden chairs.
Freddy's expression was the only one that Katie could have noticed. "Hey, guys," she greeted calmly - almost emotionlessly. "We've decided to drop by, y'know, just kick with ya'll." Freddy gave Zack a look that Zack missed -- it was as if Freddy was blaming Zack for some unseen crime. "Actually, Freddy, can I talk to you?"
"Why?" Freddy asked slowly.
"Because we're friends?" Katie answered just as slowly. "…I don't need a reason…" She grabbed Freddy by the arm and dragged him out of the room.
"Hope we're not interrupting anything," Marta stated absently to Sara and Zack. Some incomprehensible words softly floated into the room. "So…I hear you're rejoining the band, Zack…"
Zack nodded. "Yeah…this is a little off topic but…"
"Do you want to go with me?" Marta blurted out. "Uh…I mean…Do you want to date me? …Do you want to go out on a date with me?…"
Zack smiled like a child who had just gotten the most desirable toy on Christmas morning. "Oh…definetly." He nearly flinched at the squeak in his voice. "I mean…What are you doing Friday?"
"Right," Sara drawled. "So…I'm gonna be in the living room if anyone needs me." She rose from her seat and headed for the door. Marta side stepped her, to give her the access. Sara opened the door and stood there for a second.
There Freddy and Katie were, so in depth with each other -- it was like the earth had fallen away from them -- the only thing either character could think about was how the other's tongue felt inside their mouth. Sara eventually walked past the couple and headed for the stairs.
She had to find Billie to run her ideas past her greatest friend. Pranks and mischief weren't new to the two of them. As most girls went through a tom-boyish change -- so did those two. They fell into sports - sure -- but along with sports they fell into pranks - and everyone was their victims.
But this was not a prank. All they needed was a few of cameras -- SMALL cameras. What the hell would happen if Josh found the cameras? Freddy would be dead then. They didn't really know much about Josh -- all Freddy had ever told anyone was that he was an abusive jerk that his mother predictably ended up marrying…but if Sara, Billie and Zack were to get involved - were to risk their own lives - they were going to have to learn more about this guy. They were going to need to know the advantages and disadvantages of his personality -- Billie, for one, would have to know what makes this guy tick. I'm sure you all are saying "Why should they know the guy if all they intend to do is spy on him?" But knowing a person takes the advantages away from that person and gives them to you. You'll know how to hurt them -- how to bribe them -- the possibilities are endless - and even if Sara never wanted to know Josh -- there was no way the four of them would walk into this 'case' blind.
That's the end of the chapter. I'm terribly sorry -- it seems to me that this story's going a little down hill. But don't worry! I'm not gonna give up on it…because that's just a little mean. I'm sorry it took quite a while to update - and I know how hard it is to wait but…it's hard to write -- you all know that…most of you all…
I hit a little writers block -- and I have clearly set Freddy up with Katie - and Zack up with Marta -- thanks for the advice - by the way.
I also saw Bad News Bears go to Japan. wink wink? Oh I love them. I mean - I heard that the third installment was actually a real stinker - and even the cast admits that it was mistake -- but any show with that Jackie earle haley in it -- oh I'm so damn thankful for…
I didn't see all of it…but it actually really did…suck…which is fine --- I sorta predicted it would. The story line was a little…predictable and unwanted -- and the kids -- all of em -- looked far damn older than 14...especially that 17 teen year old hottie…but Kelly Leak - which is Jackie's character was hot - and he did get into a fight…with a team mate, btw -- and it was so…hmmmmmm
It comes on this Friday…or Saturday…or something. I'll have to recheck. But I will catch it…obviously from the beginning - and hopefully record it. So now…that's two down and one to go…unfortunately -- the one I want to see the most - Bad News Bears in Breaking Training…I CANNOT FIND! So…I'm…y'know…planning on going to barnes n nobles to see if they've got the book…or the first movie's book…I hear kelly gets beat in that…which is sad…just awful…
Anyway…enuff of my babbling -- I REALLY wanna start on the next chapter. you should check out gleaming the cube - if you're a skateboard fan But for you all gurls -- Christian Slater is the hottest punk there ever was…but that's just my opinion…please -- obviously -- R&R. It'd be much appreciated. If there's anything you want to see or think I should correct -- just post em in a review - it'd be much appreciated -- and I'll be sure to take your concerns and advice to heart and brain. Thanks for reading.
