Ok, the last of it. Remeber this is for my final, so if you find errors, tell me, and thanks for your help.
It was Serena's turn; she stood in center stage blinking, worrying about Darien. "Um, can you repeat that question?"
Dave sighed; Serena knew the answer to this question, so why wasn't she answering. "What crystal does Sailor Moon use to save the world many times?" She had played the part of Sailor Moon on the television show, how could she not know?
"Eh, I didn't hear you the first time. The answer is the Silver Imperial Crystal." Serena jumped and acted like she was transforming into Sailor Moon.
Serena stayed there for a few moments as a man was tumbling backwards and fell backwards. "I told you, no one would ruin my experiments." Dr. Heidegger said following the now fallen Darien.
"Darien," Serena screamed as she ran to Darien's side to help him up. The audience thought it was all a part of the show.
The two teams that were sitting down stood up. Mr. Medbourne looked at his friend, "Dr. Heidegger, you knew the show was today, and you promised not to do anything during the show." Dr. Heidegger shrugged.
Lydia frowned, "This is the reason I don't like technology."
Peter appeared cynical, "Don't make me put you in the Veldt, with the Lions!"
"You are an exceedingly blind individual, Dr. Heidegger." Emily shunned.
Eckels sighed, "You should be hunted down and killed."
Bianca gave an angry, but bubbly scowl. How that was possible, who knows, that's just her.
Thomas Black Bull stared at the ground, "You need to find another interest."
Mrs. Hutchinson whined. "This is too much change for me. You ruined my life, Dr. Heidegger!" Dr. Heidegger just stared at them until they finished, then he looked back over at Darien.
Darien was standing up. He gave Serena a small hug and a kiss on the forehead before pushing her towards her seat. "Serena, go sit down now! Dr. Heidegger, I can't promise that I won't hurt you if you don't leave this theater, immediately!"
Serena looked over at her husband while walking to her seat. She was greeted by hugs from her teammates. Who knows what Darien is capable of when he uses that tone of voice?
"Do you know anything of Science, young one? Anything on what makes an experiment?" Dr. Heidegger asked.
"All I need to know is that in order to keep this theater running, I have to get rid of trouble." Darien stated.
"Little old me causing trouble, how could I?" Dr Heidegger wobbled over to Darien knowing they were on air. He whispered into Darien's ear, "If you hit me while we are on air, your theater will never get its ratings back up. No one wants to see a young man hit an elderly man who can't defend himself." Dr. Heidegger looked up at Darien feebly, just noticing the one foot distance in their heights.
Darien froze what could he do now? He looked over to the cast and Dave then back to Dr. Heidegger. He gulped.
Dave was now hugging Serena trying to comfort her. "What did Dr. Heidegger say to Darien?" Dave said quietly.
Serena still sobbing whispered back, "I don't know, but what ever it was, it wasn't good."
"I will be back, Serena." Dave went to move. He needed to get them off the air. This unquestionably wasn't helping the theater, but maybe he could still save the show for the live audience.
"Freeze!" Dr. Heidegger commanded Dave. "I will be calling the shots, if you want Darien safe.
Dave froze, now he defiantly needs to get them off air. Serena hugged him tighter, going to a full bawling mode; she couldn't want to lose Darien. The other contestants looked at each other, this couldn't be happening. Then the quiet Lydia spoke up, "You do know we are on the air, right?"
Dr. Heidegger cackled, "Of course I know we are on the air, my beloved. The show is only getting better, I judge."
Lydia whispered to Dave to ask Peter if he had his cell phone on him.
Dave then asked Peter if he had his cell phone and he had text-messaging.
Peter nodded. Pete started text-messaging the camera man.
Techieman- "you have to turn off all the cameras."
Camerbob- "why?"
Techieman-"The show is about to take a serious turn and we need to go off air."
Camerbob-"does dave agree with this?"
Techieman- "yes now, get us off the air!"
Camerbob- "Ok I will get right on it."
Darien gulped. "You can kill me, but spare them," Darien hoped to save Serena and the others.
Dr. Heidegger tilted his head pondering this alternative for a second "Nah, this is too good." Dr. Heidegger pulled a small knife out of his pocket. "This was to sever the circuit wires, but I like the idea of cutting your throat much better."
Camerbob-"it's done"
Eugie looked over at Peter's screen, and then said "Darien."
Darien looked over at Eugie, "Eugie…?" said fearfully.
"Stop, talking all of you or I will cut his throat!" Dr. Heidegger cut off Darien.
Mrs. Hutchinson feared change so she wanted to keep Darien alive and breathing. "Everything is okay, Darien." She didn't want to give it away, but she wanted Darien to know.
"Say, anything more and this knife will slice his throat." The knife was an inch from his throat. It was remarkable just how much the audience thought this was part of the show, and Dr. Heidegger continued to allow them to believe it. How did he do that? Most of all, he was doing it on National T.V. and no one seemed to notice a thing.
Darien then contemplated about what Mrs. Hutchinson said. 'Everything is okay.' What does that mean? Darien let his eyes look over to the other contestants. They nodded back at him. Then he looked at the audience, wrapped into the show. Wait, why isn't the Camera-man manning the camera? Isn't that his job when we are on air? Wait, Okay, of course it is okay, we are off air. Good, now I can save everyone, including myself. Darien pushed Dr. Heidegger away from him, and then punched him in the face. Dr. Heidegger fell backwards before regaining his ability to stand. During this commotion Darien's Arm cut a deep cut from his shoulder blade to his wrist.
"Wow, and I thought you cared about your theater." Dr. Heidegger, "either way you pay."
"Guess what, I'm in charge now!" Darien punched Dr. Heidegger again. Dr. Heidegger landed on the floor again. Darien jumped on him and held him to the ground. "Someone call the police."
Eckels called the police. Fifteen minutes later the police were at the theater hand cuffing Dr. Heidegger. The medics were cleaning Darien's wound. He wouldn't scar most likely, he wouldn't be able to use him arm for awhile but everything would be okay. They ended the show abruptly, promising a refund, but no one wanted their money returned.
Serena came over and gave Darien a big hug, "My hero."
Dave came behind her. He smiled at Darien. Serena walked back to the contestants. "You did an amazing thing today Darien. I don't know if I could do what you did. It also looks as Crystal Palace Theater is here to stay. The audience doesn't really know that that wasn't apart of the show." With that said the Cast let the day end.
Celebration Party
Serena and Darien greeted the cast. Emily was talking to Thomas about the wonder of nature. Mrs. Hutchinson and Eckels were arguing about hunting. Lydia and her son were arguing about technology in their house. Bianca was talking to Eugie, they found the perfect job for him, and he listens to whatever she says and doesn't judge her. Mr. Medbourne hadn't come to the party. He felt too guilty for his friend's actions. We told him it wasn't his fault, but he wouldn't allot to being innocent.
"Cheers to Serena and Darien!" Everyone cheered. They didn't think about what had happened yesterday. At least, they tried to not think about it. It was done with, and everyone could come back home to their families.
Crystal Palace Theater became the number one theater to attend in the United States. "Girls against Guys" TV rating reached its top at 4.9/5. Everything was well, and the couple didn't need to worry about the Theater, to any further extent then typical in any case.
