Mariam will appear sometime soon. Yay, love for Maxie!

I don't really know what happens in the movies, so if I write something that doesn't happen into the movie, just pretend that it did.
Chapter Thirteen – Chuckie says, "BOO!"

Hilary's eyes were fixed onto the TV screen, staring into the evil face of the doll, Chuckie. Suddenly, the doll grabbed a knife and started stabbing at the man. Hilary screamed and buried her face into Tyson's shirt as blood splattered everywhere.

"Hilary, get off!" Tyson said, shoving her off of him. "Stop screaming every few seconds, we're here to watch a movie, not hear you scream."

Hilary glared at Tyson, and bit lip to stop herself from retorting.

"Tyson, be nice!" Zarine scolded. She was lying on the couch on her side. Ray was behind her in a similar position. Ten wrappers of ice cream sandwiches, and popsicles, were strewn around the couch.

The navy haired boy glared at her, but she returned the glare with a cheeky smile, putting a chip into her mouth with obvious exaggeration. He turned his eyes away from her and back onto the TV where Chuckie was busy disemboweling his victim.

When the movie was over, Jewels removed the first video and replaced it with the second one.

"So Hil, you have enough courage to keep watching right?" Carrie asked with a wink.

Tyson laughed at the notion, "Ha, she's just a scaredy cat."

"Of course not!" Hilary said, sounding braver than she felt. "I'm going to prove that I'm not by watching this without leaping with terror."

"Good luck," Kenny muttered. He had just uncovered HIS eyes. (I thought his eyes were already covered! Lol!) He wasn't really looking forward to the second movie.

"It's not that scary," Zarine said soothingly.

"Are you just trying to say that to make yourself feel better? I could feel your heart pounding when we were watching it," Ray said.

"Shut up! You weren't supposed to say anything!" she said, elbowing him in the ribs.

Hilary gripped her skirt tightly as the movie started. As the movie progressed on, she found that it was harder and harder to keep her eyes open. Soon, she fell asleep, her head dropping onto Tyson's shoulder.

"What the heck! Stop pretending to be asleep, you said you would watch this!" Tyson said, irritated. He was about to shake her awake, but Max questioned, "What do you think you're doing?"

"Waking her up," Tyson answered.

"She's tired, just let her sleep," Kai said.

His mind wandered as he noticed the warmth on his shoulder. [Maybe it isn't that bad. She is tired and besides, she smells nice.] Tyson thought. [Wait, did I just think that? What's happening to me???]

He looked around at his friends frantically, as if afraid that they had heard his thoughts somehow. Five minutes later, he decided to shift Hilary so her head is in his lap.

The others acted like they didn't notice. One word from them and who knows? Tyson might push the brunette off the couch. Zarine yawned widely, and rubbed her eyes. She was getting drowsy.

"Just go to sleep if you're tired," Ray said softly, his breath was warm on her neck, sending shivers down her spine.

"I'm not!" she denied before she yawned involuntarily again. "Okay, maybe I am. I want to watch this!"

"Suit yourself," he said.

Hilary stirred in her sleep, feeling strangely warm and safe. Slowly, her eyes opened slightly. The sight in front of her wasn't registered clearly due to the fact that her vision was blurred. Opening her eyes wider, she finally realized what she was seeing. She screamed and in a frantic attempt to get away from that horrible image, she fell off the couch.

"Hilary, what's wrong?" Tyson asked, offering his hand to help her up.

"It was just that stupid doll on the screen," she replied, acting as if this was normal behavior.

"I thought you were having a bad dream or something," Carrie said, trying to stifle her laughter.

"Hey, you try waking up and seeing a doll with a knife in its hand, looking murderously at you!" Hilary retorted.

Ray spoke up, "Hey, can you guys be quieter? Zarine fell asleep."

The others' gaze fell onto the peaceful figure beside Ray. "You two look so kawaii together!" Carrie sighed, wishing that she had a boyfriend that was as caring as Ray. (Don't we all?)

"I know that look, don't tell me you're lusting for a boyfriend!" Jewels groaned.

Her twin turned red and scoffed, "Don't be ridiculous! I'm saying I wish I've managed to pick up a decent guy by now."

"Uh...aren't they supposed to pick you?" Tyson asked, confused. He always thought that it was the guys who choose the girl. After all, men are usually the ones who propose, which means that they choose the wife. He worked out then if men picked wives, why not girlfriends?

The girls threw him looks of disgust. "Girls have rights too, you know. Be honored if any girl ever chooses you," Carrie told him.

Due to the lack of nourishment to his brain, Tyson failed to notice the real meaning in that sentence, which was 'You are such an idiot. I would be surprise if you ever get a girlfriend.'

"Why would I want a girlfriend? Girls are annoying brats," Tyson said.

"Excuse me?" Hilary, Carrie, Jewels, Ray and Max said.

"Ray, Max, you guys are supposed to be on my side! Not theirs!" Tyson said, scandalized.

"Well, you're applying that to our girlfriends," Max said. "Mariam is not an annoying brat."

"Neither is Zarine," said Ray.

"Tyson, I really advise you to shut your mouth so you wouldn't stick your foot in it any further," Kai suggested.

Kenny nodded. The expressions on the female's faces were scarier than ten Chuckies put together!

Max didn't comment because he was too busy eating candy. There were discarded bags of Cherry Blasters, Fuzzy Peaches, Gummy Bears, and Berries scattered all over the floor.

They were silent for the rest of the movie. Hilary was too put out with Tyson to remember to scream. She didn't pay much attention to it since she was trying to figure out the things she liked about Tyson. After half an hour, all she could think of was his loyalty, courage and determination. She really admired those qualities in him.

After the movie, they went to bed. Ray carried Zarine to the bed they were sharing that night. He covered her with a blanket before kissing her on the cheek.

"Ray?" she mumbled as he was turning to leave.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"I'm just going to get changed. I'll be back in a minute," he promised.

It was partly true. He was going to change, but he was also going to check on the others to see if they're doing their dares. He didn't want Zarine getting all excited and getting up to go with him. She needed her rest.

He was just about to go up the stairs when he heard giggling. Turning around, he saw Max with a bag of candy in his hands.

"Hey Ray, you want some?" he asked. His question was barely understandable since he was laughing.

"No thanks, why don't you go to sleep?" Ray suggested.

The blonde said flatly, "I don't want to. Sleep is no fun!"

"Um...why don't you go and check on Kai and Jewels and make sure they're doing their dare?" Ray said.

"Okay!" Max agreed enthusiastically. "I'm going to get candy to see if they would want some!"

Ray sighed and climbed up the stairs. Max was so childish whenever he's hyper. He opened the spare bedroom that Tyson and Hilary were in. He smiled when he saw that Tyson had his arm around the brunette, and she was snuggled up against him. Maybe there was some hope that they would get together.

Next, he went to check on Carrie and Kenny. It didn't surprise him that they weren't in any interesting position. Come on, they were two people from completely different moulds.

"You take the bed, I'll just sleep on the floor," Jewels said to Kai. There was no way she was going to share a bed with him.

Kai was surprised. He had half expected her to kick him out of her room, pink streaks or no. "You're the one who lives here, I can just sleep on the couch downstairs," Kai told her before turning to leave.

"Are you stupid? If you sleep down there, anyone can see you and by this time tomorrow, you're going to have pink streaks in your hair," she said. A mental picture of Kai with bright pink in his blue hair came into mind, and she had to fight down the fit of giggles. She turned away, hoping that Kai wouldn't notice the wide grin on her face.

"What's so funny?" he demanded.

"I..." she laughed, "I just had an image of you with blue and pink hair."

"It's not like it would improve your looks either," he grunted.

"Yeah, but everyone will think you're loony," Jewels giggled.

Kai looked at her intently, studying her face. "What?" she questioned.

"You've changed a lot since I last had a real talk with you," he remarked, looking into her eyes.

"It's hard not to change when you've hang out with Carrie constantly for the past year," she replied. She looked away, trying to think of a different subject. "So what will it be? The bed or the sleeping bag?"

"I'll take the sleeping bag," he replied.

"Good night," Jewels said, turning off her lamp.

"Good night," Kai responded. The words felt strange on his lips. He had never wished anyone a good night before. It felt so weird, and he wasn't sure if he liked it or not. ]

"Jewels," he said urgently.

"What?" she asked drowsily.

"Do you remember what I said last week on the phone?" he asked.

"Huh?" she said confusedly, lifting her head to look at him. She tried hard to remember. "You mean....oh..." she trailed off as the memory of it came back to her.

Flashback

The phone rang as she was finishing her last sentence on her essay. She picked it up and said, "Hello?"

"Jewels, it's Kai," the person on the other end said.

There was a long silence...she wondered why he called her in the first place. Then she asked, "What do you want?"

"I was wondering if you'll eat lunch with us again," he said
.

End of Flashback

"I really meant it when I said I want you to be there," he said, cutting across her thought. "I know you said you didn't want to, but can you reconsider? I'm really sorry I was a jerk about the whole thing."

"Really?" she asked, feeling stunned. She thought, [Kai Hiwatari, apologizing to me?? He never says sorry to anyone. Not even when he broke this guy's wrist during a game of football last year! He just said that broken bones should be expected in such a violent game.]

"Yep," he answered.

After another long silence, the red head questioned hesitantly, "Kai, are you still awake?"

He grunted.

"You can sleep up here if you want. I don't mind," she said.

"Nah, that's okay," he responded.

"If we're caught, we're going to be on the list of the people who came from Loonyville," she said. "No one's going to believe that we are trying to make a fashion statement with pink streaks."

"All right," Kai said. He stood up, and because he couldn't see well in the dark, he tripped and fell on top of the girl.

"Are you trying to kill me?" she demanded. It was then she realized how close their faces were. She tried to avert her gaze but she couldn't. It was like the depths of his auburn eyes were drawing her in.

Kai reached out to take her chin in his hand, leaning closer to her face. [WHAT ARE YOU DOING????] his mind screamed. [STOP THIS MADNESS!] He couldn't. It was as if someone else was controlling him.

Jewels' thoughts became incoherent as his face loom ever closer to hers. [What is he?? God...he's not...kiss? No? Yes? Can't be. How do I...can't let him...how did...]

Max suddenly burst into the room, singing the national anthem. (I'm from Canada, so it's going to be the Canada's anthem!)

"O Canada. Our home and native land..." he sang, stopping when he saw the position that Jewels and Kai were in.

Kai leapt back from Jewels, they were both blushing furiously. "Max, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, Ray told me to check on you to make sure you are doing Zarine's dare. I'm going to leave you so you can sleep now," he said, before skipping out and continuing to sing, "True patriot love, in all thy sons command..."

Kai and Jewels sweat dropped and looked at each other, wide eyed. "I think Max is on a sugar high," Jewels said.

"You think? He's got all the signs," Kai said, shaking his head.

Max poked his head back in again. "Would you like some candy?"

"No, all we want is some peace and quiet so we can sleep," Jewels answered.

"You guys are boring. Sleeping is boring," he said, pouting. "No one is awake to play with me."

"We all need to do sleep to have enough energy to play with you tomorrow," she reasoned, trying to get rid of him.

"So you would play with me tomorrow? Do you promise?" Max asked.

"Yes, we promise, now leave," Kai said.
I'm truly sorry for the unusual long wait! I mean, a week???? I always update every other day. I got lazy and I had to go out so yeah. I do have a life. Not this week though because all my friends are at a camp and I'm stuck at home. :( Well, not all, but most!
