Chapter 5: Say What!
Chase, Dana, Zoey, Nicole, Logan and Michael lay passed out in dark place. It was pitch black and the air had a demonic aura to it. Michael started to stir and cracked his brown eyes open. Nicole started to stir as well, and she and Michael both sat up and looked around. Nicole saw a figure beside her but she wasn't sure of who was next to her, although she did catch a glance at the person's shoes.
NICOLE (thought): Ooohh...shiny shoes. Wait, Logan and Michael had shiny shoes. Logan was red and black and glossy. The other person's shoes was glittery and Michael's shoes are glittery. I think they're gold. I like gold..and pink.
MICHAEL (thought): Who's sitting next to me? Wait, it's a girl because I can see long hair. It's long and brown. So, the girl's a brunette. It can't be Dana because she has curls. It can't be Zoey because her hair is shorter and blonde. So that leaves--
MICHAEL: Nicole?
NICOLE: Michael?
MICHAEL (thought): Yeah, that's Nicole alright. She has this squeal to her voice. Cute.
Michael placed his hand on top of hers. She felt a tingle shoot up her spine and blushed. Luckily, it was dark so Michael wouldn't be able to see the scarlet gradually creeping up to her cheecks.
NICOLE: Michael, I'm scared. Where are you?
MICHAEL: I'm a bit scared myself. I'm right beside you. Can you feel my hand?
NICOLE (blushing): Yeah.
MICHAEL: I know this isn't the time but I have something to tell you. It's important.
NICOLE: You do?
MICHAEL: Yeah.
Michael stood up on his feet and Nicole was pulled up so she was standing too. It was dark, too, they couldn't see. Michael and Nicole felt each other there, though.
MICHAEL: We need to see where we are and my guess is that Chase, Zoey, Dana and Logan are still knocked out. I'll try to lighten the place up. that way we can actually see. You might want to stand back a little. I don't shock you.
NICOLE (smiling): Ok.
Nicole moved back a little bit. Michael rubbed his hands together. He breathed in deeply and thought of everything that made him happy. Potato chips of every kind. Nicole. Everything about her. Sleeping in. Playing basketball with Chase and Logan. Michael felt something inside of him bubble over and it was so overwhelming, Michael's glow was so powerful and so bright Nicole had to sheild her eyes. A bolt of lightning escaped from Michael's hands and illuminated the room they were in plus the hallway. Michael caught his breath and Nicole walked up to him.
NICOLE: You okay?
MICHAEL: Yeah, but I'm never doin' that again. Where are the others?
NICOLE: Pretty knocked out, still. Sooo, what's up? What do you have to tell me?
Michael smiled as he took Nicole's hands in his. She had no objection, though. They stared into each other's eyes, as if they were reading each other's souls. Michael stared into her warm, waiting eyes. Nicole returned the smile. Michael breathed in, and started to speak again.
MICHAEL: From the day I first day saw you, I couldn't stop looking at you. You're perfect. Everyone may not think so, but that doesn't matter, because in my eyes you're an angel and you're perfect. What I'm trying to say is...I, uh, like you Nicole. Will you be my girl?
Nicole's grin got wilder and she gripped Michael's hand tighter in happiness. She was so happy, she let out a small squeal
MICHAEL: So, does that mean a yes?
NICOLE: Yes! Michael's my boyfriend. I'm so happy right now. There are lots of things that make me happy, like, shopping, the colour pink, baby cats and--
Nicole was cut off when Michael's lips crashed into hers. After getting over the inital shock of kissing the man of her heart, Nicole wrapped her arms around Michael's neck and kissed him back, passionately and deeply. There were raw emotions of love let out after being kept inside from two years. They were both deeply enthralled in the kiss and Michael's wrapped his arms around Nicole's delicate waist, pulling her closer to him. They were so busy making out they didn't notice the remainder of their friends, just staring to stir a couple feet back.
Chase was the first of four to open his eyes. He had a bad feeling about the place he was in. He sat up and looked up, eyes darting to find at least something similar to PCA. Nothing. He jumped a little when he heard a voice weakly calling out his name. He realized it was Zoey. She also started to stir and open her eyes and sat up to face a smiling Chase.
ZOEY: Hey Chase.
CHASE: Hey Zo.
ZOEY: Do you know where we are?
CHASE: No. But we're not at PCA anymore. There's just something about this place. Like something evil.
ZOEY: Yeah, I know. How did we get here? Last time I remember we were in the lounge...
CHASE: And then--
ZOEY: Oh, God.
CHASE: You thinking what I'm thinking?
ZOEY: If you're suggesting Glenn somehow did something to us and then brought here to torture us or even worse kill us, then yes.
CHASE: Well, that pretty much sums it up. He makes me so mad though.
CHASE (thought): I swear I'll kill him. If it's the last thing I do. I hate him so much. He broke Zoey's heart, so I'll break his face. It's only fair.
Chase stood up and then helped Zoey up so that she was standing. Chase did notice a change to Zoey's outfit though. She had a baby blue midriff, exposing her mid-section. It turned Chase on, but he contained himself. It was one hell of a job. Zoey also baby blue pants that hugged her sexy (A/N: In the eyes of Chase) figure. They looked comfortable. For footwear, Zoey had baby blue and white converses. Chase stopped looking at Zoey for a second and from the corner of his eye, he saw a funny sight and laughed. Zoey couldn't see what was so funny. Zoey looked at Chase with a puzzled face.
ZOEY: Chase? What's so funny?
CHASE (laughing): Look, and you'll know why.
Zoey looked and softly giggled too. Dana and Logan were passed out but were smiling. Dana's head was happily resting on Logan chest. Logan had his arms wrapped around Dana's waist. They looked awfully smug together, and their smiles never left. Dana and Logan had some kind of hidden love, and it was funny, really. It was a love/hate relationship.
Love
to feel the love
Love to heal from pain
Is there really a
difference?
Wonder who is right
Wonder who is wrong
I'm just
feelin' some tension
You can't compromise
We can't coincide
We
should really be chillin'
ZOEY: Awww, that's so cute. They totally like each other but they're at each other's throats all the time.
CHASE: I've always heard if a girl is mean to you, she likes you. Maybe that's the case here with Dana and Logan.
ZOEY: They'll realize it soon enough.
CHASE: But just in case a fight between them breaks out, I bet $5 on Dana.
ZOEY (laughing): Chase!
CHASE (laughing): I'm kidding...
CHASE: Hey, can I talk to you?
ZOEY: Sure. What's up.
CHASE: I'm not that great with words...so bear with me.
ZOEY: And this is coming from PCA's own teenage Shakespeare.
Chase laughed and blushed a little. Chase started to talk again.
CHASE: You know we've been friends for two years now. Those were the happiest two years of my life. Now I know why girls were brought to PCA. Maybe it was fate or some unknown force, but I'm happy girls were allowed to PCA. If that never happened I wouldn't have met you. Over the two years we've been friends, we had some fun memories. The feelings of friendship I had for you have evolved into something more...more than friends. Kind of the feeling of...love. What I'm trying to say is I like you, Zoey. No scratch, that. I love you.
ZOEY: Well, I don't know what to say. To be honest, I love you too. You're my shoulder to cry on. I was never really happy with Glenn. I'm still trying to understand why I went out with a jerk like him. Boy, am I ever stupid.
CHASE: Zoey, you're not stupid. You're the opposite of that and more. Glenn was an ass for cheating because he lost something precious. You're loving, sweet, caring, smart, and--
ZOEY: Chase?
CHASE: Yeah, Zo?
ZOEY: Shut up and kiss me. Please?
CHASE: With pleasure.
Chase leaned in to Zoey and kissed her. Her arms wrapped around his neck while her hands played with the back of his head. Chase's hands ran through her blonde locks and travelled down down her waist. They needed each other. They wanted each other. The need was like needing oxygen in order to survive. Zoey deepened the kiss and Chase happily followed suit, their tongues fighting for dominance. So now, there were two relationships formed. Michael and Nicole were cannodling in the hallway, while Zoey and Chase were making out. All of their bottled up feelings were unleashed silently in a kiss. Dana and Logan lay there, still all smiles around. They were dreaming of the same thing... (A/N: I actually wanted to be evil and end here, but I'm a good mood so I'll continue)
It was a beautiful spring day. The church was a shimmering white as it gleamed in the noon-day sun. The doors opened as Dana arrived dressed in a white dress, with a flowing train. A little girl with blonde hair and shimmering green eyes wearing a pale pink dress had just finished throwing flower petals on the floor and was picked up by her father. She was getting married today. When they all saw her, the people sitting in the pews rose as the Wedding March played. Dana took her father by the arm as they walked to the altar. Dana's heart filled with joy and anticipation as she was about to meet her life partner, the man she'd be bound to for life.
Logan stood at the altar. He was going to be married after today to the most beautiful woman on Earth, at least to him. He couldn't see her properly through the transparent white veil but he could tell she was smiling. A middle-aged man and his bride finally reached Logan who was smiling. Dana's father kissed her forehead and handed her to Logan.
MR. CRUZ: I know you will take care of her.
LOGAN: Yes, sir. I promise.
The minister came up to the pulpit and motioned for everyone to be seated. They did so. He opened up his Bible, cleared his throat and began to speak.
MINSITER: Dear Beloved. We are gathered here to watch as this man and this woman are joined in holy matrimony. Logan and Dana finally want to make their love known, as their families and friends bear witness to this joyous occasion. Dana, Logan, please turn to each other. I have some questions for you.
Dana and Logan obeyed and turned to each other and faced each other, hand in hand.
MINISTER: Do you Logan Alexander Reese take this woman to be lawfully-wedded wife, to have and to hold, through sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer, for better and for worse, till death do you part?
LOGAN: I do.
MINISTER: Do you Dana Isabella Cruz, take this man to be your lawfully-wedded husband, to have and to hold, through sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer, for better and for worse, till death do you part?
DANA: I do.
MINISTER: By the powers invested in me. I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.
Logan lifted Dana's veil to reveal a smiling and radiant Dana. Logan and Dana kissed while the congregation stood up and cheered. Camera flashes going off everywhere. For those 30 seconds, it was as if time had stopped and they were the only two there. They broke apart still smiling at each other and facing their families and friends. The minister spole for a final time.
MINISTER: Ladies and Gentlemen, may introduce to you Mr. & Mrs. Logan Reese...
Dana and Logan both bolted awake screaming. The screaming startled Chase and Zoey so they broke apart. Both were breathing heavily. They inched away from each other, and looked up at Chase and Zoey, who were smilingwith raised eyebrows. Dana and Logan stood up, rapidly.
CHASE: Well, Good morning to you too
ZOEY: Some dream, huh?
DANA: Just drop it. Would you?
CHASE: Fine, but we're just saying...
LOGAN: Dude. No one asked you to say anything.
CHASE: Ok, let's go find Michael and Nicole and get out of here. Hopefully we can make it back to PCA.
DANA: We still get to kick Glenn's ass right?
ZOEY (laughing): Yeah, of course. I want in the action too.
They left the mysterious room ans walked in silence down a hallway and soon, enough they met Michael and Nicole, but they saw a shocking sight.
CHASE: No way...he did it!
ZOEY: Oh, God.
DANA: No freakin' way! They can't be...someone gag me!
LOGAN (raising an eyebrow): Well, well, well, what do we have here? He finally did it!
They spotted Michael and Nicole making out for the second time already. Chase was happy for Michael, but a little surprised at the same time. Zoey was happy for Nicole but had the same reaction to them kissing like Chase did. Dana and Logan were not as shocked, because they were pondering about their dream. Michael and Nicole were interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat, and pulled away quickly. They held hands though.
MICHAEL: Uh, hey. You guys are awake. That's, um, good.
NICOLE: For the first time ever, I'm at a loss for words. I can guess you can say Michael and I got together.
CHASE: We're happy for you guys, really.
ZOEY: Yeah. Aren't we…Dana, Logan?
DANA: Huh? What? Oh, yeah…real happy.
LOGAN: Uh, congrats…I think.
Michael and Nicole smiled too. At first the remaining four didn't get why, but soon they did. Zoey and Chase were holding hands as well.
MICHAEL: You and Chase got together…didn't you?
CHASE: Yeah. I finally told her.
ZOEY: We're dating finally and it feels awesome.
CHASE: Right back at you.
Chase kissed Zoey on the check lightly.
NICOLE: Aww, you guys look so cute.
Dana and Logan were still in their own little world. They had things on their mind still. Dana and Logan weren't even arguing, which still creeped everybody out. Logan looked a bit dazed, so Zoey walked to Logan and Dana snapped her fingers in front of their faces.
DANA: Huh?
LOGAN: What?
ZOEY: Come on. We still got to get to Glenn.
DANA: Yeah, sure…
LOGAN: Ok.
The couples walked silently hand-in-hand while Dana and Logan walked in silence beside each other. They were enjoying each other's company, although one wouldn't admit it to the other. Dana didn't want to believe it, but that was the best dream of her life. Logan thought so to, and hoped to make it a reality someday. They stopped when they came to a big door. It was locked.
CHASE: Ok, now what?
ZOEY: I don't know. I guess the door going to have to be burned off. Logan…
LOGAN: What is it, now?
Logan just wanted to think right now. Not be bothered about a stupid door.
ZOEY: We need to burn this lock off. Neither of us can.
LOGAN: Fine.
Logan walked up ahead to the door and concentrated. He glowed a fire engine red and drew back his fist. When his fist connected with the lock, it broke in his hands. The pieces fell on the floor by his feet and he dusted off his hands.
LOGAN: That was a cheap lock.
They all started to push the door, but to no avail. The door wouldn't move and Dana was growing impatient. Zoey, Nicole and the guys were tired.
DANA: This door better open or I'll kick it down!
ZOEY: Oh God! That's it. Dana! You're brilliant! The door's weak spot is directly in the middle so if we apply enough force to the door in that spot, that door will fall.
LOGAN: Care to demonstrate?
ZOEY: Sure
Zoey breathed in and glowed blue again. She aimed and stared at the middle. She did a powerful side-kick to the door and it fell with a great boom!
ZOEY: And that is how you kick down a door.
CHASE: How did you do that?
ZOEY: I've been taking kick-boxing classes since I was eight and I was also state gymnastic champion for three years in a row.
CHASE: Is there anything you can't do?
ZOEY (laughing): I don't know yet. Come on.
Zoey pulled Chase in by the hand. Nicole and Michael soon followed, and then Dana and Logan. Chase and Zoey in their tracks. Nicole screamed while Michael's eyes got three times bigger. Logan went pale, almost like he had seen a ghost and Dana's breath was caught in her throat.
CHASE: What the hell is that?
ZOEY: This is just crazy...
MICHAEL: Oh, God...
LOGAN: No...
A/N: What did they see? What will they do next? Stay tuned... The song used was "Love/Hate" by Kelly Rowland. I don't own that.
