Chapter 25: Safety Dance

"You did great guys." Ms. H congratulated Paige, Danny and Jimmy after their final scene.

"We only have one more scene with Emma and Charlie before the dance finale."J.T. screamed."Emma and Charlie get into your places." J.T. looked around. Where is Emma and Charlie?"

"I'm right here." Emma walked backstage. "I just saw Charlie a few minutes ago he's probably in the guy's dressing room, cooling off."

" We don't have time for this." J.T. said angrily. "OK, Craig can you go get Charlie and tell him we're about to start."

"No problem." Craig said before walking to the guys dressing room.

"OK guys lets get this show on the road!" J.T. exclaimed.

"Hey Charlie, how would you like to make a quick twenty bucks."

"It all depends on what you want me to do." Charlie answered before the guy whispered into his ear.

"No way man, you can keep your money."

"Well then you lead me to no choice."

"Where the heck is Charlie and Craig." J.T. looked around. "See that's why you don't send a boy to do a man's job." J.T. said angrily, getting ready to walk off and find Charlie

"Wait here's Charlie." Emma said.

"Great, Charlie you're late." J.T. said while looking at Charlie who had a space helmet on. "Charlie you're suppose to be wearing clear goggles not a space helmet, you're a scientist not an astronaut." J.T. tried to pull the helmet off. "Take off the helmet."

"No." Charlie exclaimed. "I have a massive zit the size of.."

"We don't have time for this." Ms Kwan interrupted. "Charlie, Emma out on the stage."

"Charlie why are you wearing a helmet?" Emma whispered while walking to their places.

" I'm suppose to be a scientist." Charlie mumbled.

"Charlie you sound weird. Did you change." Emma said before being interrupted by the curtains rising.

The melody of "The Scientist by Coldplay started to play."

"Does he sound weird or different to you?" Liberty whispered to J.T. behind the curtain.

"Yeah he does, maybe it's the helmet. I still can't figure out why he chose to wear that when I specifically gave him the goggles."

Suddenly there was a loud bang in the back. "What was that." Liberty asked.

I don't know but let's find out." J.T. ran to the back before hearing the noise again. "I think it's coming from the broom closet." J.T. opened up the broom closet and saw Charlie tied up with nothing but a t-shirt and boxers on.

"What happened." Liberty asked while taking the clothe off of Charlie's mouth.

Emma and who she thought was Charlie bowed to the audience once the song was over.

"Wow guys that was great." Jimmy congratulated the two before grabbing the helmet guy by the arm. "You know if I didn't know any better Charlie I would think that was Craig."

"Well it's not Craig's in the.." The helmet guy saw J.T. and Liberty running towards him."Uhh I gotta go." The helmet guy ran off.

"What was that all about?" Jimmy said to himself.

"Stop that guy!" J.T. and Liberty exclaimed.

"What guy, Charlie?" Jimmy asked

"That wasn't Charlie." J.T. answered before noticing Craig who was trying to sneak by. "But I think Craig just might know who it is."

"We'll let's get ready for the finale." Ms. Kwan shouted while noticing J.T. was busy chatting with Craig. "Figures I would have to do all the work." she said to herself before putting everyone in their places.

"Paige why are you dragging me to watch the finale?" Hazel asked.

"I know we're almost done but you don't want to miss this part." Paige replied.

"Hey girls shouldn't you be getting ready for the final bow." Ms. Kwan looked at her itinerary. "You should be lining up in three minutes your a little early."

"We wanted to be on time Ms. K." Paige said. "I never saw the play remember and I really want to see this part."

"OK, Paige but make sure you're in your places when they're done." Ms Kwan said before walking away.

"Great it's starting!" Paige exclaimed.

"Wow your really excited for such a small dance scene." Hazel replied.

"Are you kidding me I wouldn't miss this for the world."

The dancers twirled around on the stage. Darcy and Chante did there final number before everyone noticed Chante's skirt was peeling off.Chante tried her best to hold it up while Darcy's skirt fell off completely. The two were on the stage bottomless before they ran off in humiliation while the crowd laughed.

"Oh my god did you see that." Hazel looked with wide eyed disbelief.

Paige giggled. "It worked out better then I hoped for."

"Paige, why would you do such a thing?" Hazel asked.

"Because of this" Paige pulled out a stationary similar to the same stationary that was pasted on her locker a few days ago. It was pale blue with huge words in red ink "Stop it now or you will regret it!"
