Chapter 9 Izzy refuses to go to the Semi finale dance rehearsal
Izzy's POV
It was the next morning, and I was refusing to go to our semi finale dance rehearsal.
"Izzy, you need to go, we promise that Marina won't be there." Both Jake and Cubby said to me.
"Well, no. I am not going." I said to them as I covered my head with my baby blanket.
"Come on Izzy, please?" Both Jake and Cubby asked me as they both have me puppy dog eyes.
"Fine. But if Marina makes fun of me, I'm leaving." I said to them as they shrugged their shoulders.
As we arrived in studio A, we started to think of a dance for our semi finale dance rehearsal. But apparently, that did not stop me when Marina walked in.
"Oh hello Izzy, may I see your braces?" Marina asked me as I didn't open my mouth.
"Mmm, mmm." I said to her.
As Marina got mad, she came towards me as she was trying to open my mouth as everyone was trying to get her off me. Even Princess was kicking Marina on leg.
"Ow, you little brat." Marina said to her as Princess continued to kick her while Baby Jay was cheering for his big sister as he was doing little punches with his hands.
"Marina, get off my Izzy." Jake sakd to her as he was pulling her off me as Peter came in and saw the whole thing.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" Peter asked us.
"Marina, is trying to take Izzy's braces out of her teeth." Austin said to him.
"Marina, I specifically said, do not come in here you are banned from the dance studio. don't go away, and another return." Peter said to her.
" I'm never going to have the spotlight am I? Izzy has everything. She has a boyfriend, and she has kids. And what do I have? I only have a little sister." Marina said to him as she was now breaking down.
"I just want someone in my life." Marina said to him as she ran crying, but without saying these words to me.
"I'm sorry Izzy." Marina said to me as she then left.
Marina's POV
As I was in the cafeteria crying my eyes out, Izzy walked in.
"What do you want?" I asked her.
"I want to talk to you, as a friend." Izzy said to me.
"Izzy, I'm sorry for being mean to you. I need help." I said to her while crying.
"Hey, it's okay. So, why were you being mean to me?" Izzy asked me.
"I don't know. I just, I'm sorry." I said to her as I hugged her.
"Oh, there, there, I'm here, I'm here." Izzy said to me.
" I don't want to be mean anymore. Izzy, what should I do?" I asked her.
" Well the first thing you should do is go apologize to my daughter, because you called her a litte brat." Izzy said to me as Princess came in.
" Princess, I'm sorry I called you a little brat. Can you forgive me?" I asked her as she hugged me.
"Yes Marina, I forgive you." Princess said to me.
"Izzy, Princess is growing on me." I said to her.
"Hey, do you want to babysit them, while we're doing our semi finale dance rehearsal?" Izzy asked me.
"Do you even trust me?" I asked her.
"Marina of course I trust you, you just apologize to the both of us." Izzy said to me.
After Izzy brought in her son, she went back to Studio A.
Izzy's POV
While we were rehearsing our semi-finale dance, we were all doing the awesome job. Even though I still had my braces, I didn't care. The only thing I focused on was the international that is coming up next year in May.
After we were done, we started to show Peter our dance. After an hour, Peter was proud of us as he was clapping his hands while baby Jay was cheering with his Daffy duck toy.
"That was amazing! We're definitely going to win the Internationals.
"I don't know Peter, didn't you say the internationals is more tougher than the Nationals?" I asked him.
"Yes, I did, but Izzy I know you can lead your Troupe." Peter said to me.
"And I will!" I said to him.
"Now, may I please speak with you in your office about Marina?" I asked him.
"Sure!" Peter said to me as we went into his office.
As I was in the office with Peter, I started ti talk with him about Marina.
"Peter, I know Marina was being mean to me for the past couple weeks, but I know that she can change. Bart Simpson did, and I know Marina can too. so can you please let her back in the dance studio?" I asked him as I gave him my puppy dog eyes.
" Okay if you trust her, then she can come back." Peter said to me.
"Thank you Peter thank you thank you! You're welcome regret it, Marina will change all she needs is talk therapy." I said to him as I left.
As Peter and I went into the cafeteria, we saw Marina playing patty cake with Baby Jay while princess was coloring in her coloring book.
"Aww, baby Jay you made a new friend. Yes you did yes you did yes you did." I said to him.
" Yes, anyway Marina I would recommend you to see Miss Vanhouper, she's really nice and she will help you. Here's her number, give her a call make an appointment and let me know how it goes." Peter said to her.
"Thank you Peter!" Marina said to him as she hugged him.
"You're welcome, and also you're back in the dance studio." Peter said to her.
"You're welcome Marina." I said to her as she hugged me.
As Jake and Cubby came into the cafeteria, Jake immediately you ran to me and covered me.
"What did I just say stay away from Izzy, Marina." Jake said to her.
" Jake relax everything's okay Marina and I are friends now." I said to him.
" What you and her friends?" Jake asked as he passed out.
"Is he okay?" Marina asked me.
"He'll be fine, he's just being a baby about it." I said to her.
" You know that kind of reminds me the time when I found out that Cubby and Stormy were dating." Marina said to me.
" Did you pass out?" I asked her.
"Yes." Marina said to me.
"Did Peter pass out when he found out you and Jske were dating?" Marina asked me.
" Oh no he did the opposite he went in the bathroom and screamed like a little girl." I said to her.
" Hey that was a private moment." Peter said to me.
"Well, you did." Cubby said to him.
"How can screaming in the bathroom, be a private moment?" I asked him.
"You don't know everything about me Izzy." Peter said to me.
"Oh my god, I had the strangest dream that Marina and Izzy were now friends." Jake said to himself as he woke up and saw Marina and I Hugging each other.
"Oh my goodness, the dream is real." Jake said to himself.
" I'm sorry that I passed out, I'm happy that the two of you are friends now. But I'm going to go in about them and scream." Jake said to us as he went into the bathroom and started screaming.
As I went to the boys bathroom door, I knocked on it.
"Jake are you done screaming in there?" I asked him.
"No." Jake said to me.
"Hurry up, baby Jay is choking." I lied to him as he ran out of the bathroom.
" Wait a minute baby Jay isn't choking." Jake said to me.
" that was the only thing I can think of to get you out of the bathroom." I said to him.
" And surprisingly, it worked." Jake said to me as I kissed him on the lips.
"Izzy, will I ever find that perfect man someday?" Marina asked me.
"Of course you will Marina, just give it time. who knows, you might even find the perfect man at the Internationals." I said to her.
"Or the dumpster." Cubby said to her as I hit him in the back of the head.
"Ow. What is this hit Cubby day?" Cubby asked me.
"It will be, if you don't shut your mouth." I said to him.
"Or you just might find the perfect boy in the sewer." Jake said to her as I hit him in the arm.
"What is this, hit Jake day?" Jake asked me as he was rubbing his arm.
"Yes!" I said to him.
"I'm sorry for trying to take your braces off Izzy." Marina said to me.
" Hey no worries, it will come off with eventually before the Internationals even begin next year." I said to her.
" You know, I even think your braces are kind of cool." Marina said to me.
"Aww, that is so sweet of you." I said to her.
"Barf." Jake said to us.
" You just can't stand about me and Marina being friends huh Jake?" I asked him.
" No, can we just go home, before Marina does anything stupid?" Jake asked me.
" Hold on Jake I want to take a selfie with Marina." I said tk him as I took a selfie picture with Marina.
" Okay you took your selfie, let's go home." Jake said to me.
" Wait, I want to exchange numbers with Marina." I said to him as his mouth was wide open.
"Oh, come on." Jake said to himself.
"okay you experience numbers, can we go home now?" Jake asked me.
"Hold up Jake I have to pee." I said to him as he was banging his head on the wall.
After I was done using the restroom, we finally went home because Jake was whining.
"Way to go Jake you just embarrass me in front of Marina." I said to him.
" How do I embarrass you?" Jake asked me.
" Well, for starters, you were whining about going home." I said to him.
" Because I wanted to come home." Jake said to me.
" You could have at least give me a minute with Marina?" I asked him.
"No, I just wanted to come home. And by the way, I think Marina is a bad influence on you." Jake said to me.
" No she isn't, she's going to make an appointment with a talk therapist so she can get her life back together." I said to him.
" Marina does not have a life, she never will." Jake said to me.
"How dare you say that to my bestie." I said to him.
"Oh so now Marina is your bestie? Fine be besties with her. See if I can. And if she starts hurting you, don't come crying to me Izzy." Jake said to me as he went into our room and slammed the door.
Cubby's POV
After I heard the biggest argument between Izzy and Jake, I decided not to interfere. As I was in the middle of watching TV with the kids anyway.
"Uncle Cubby, I'm worried about Mommy and Daddy." Princess said to me.
"They'll be fine." I said to her as I heard some smashing coming from our room.
" Princess stay here." I sakd to her as she was holding baby Jay tight.
As I immediately opened our bedroom door, I saw Jake smashing things on the floor.
"Whoa Jake, what's going on?" I asked him.
"I don't know, I'm not doing it." Jake said to me.
"Then why are there glasses all over the floor?" I asked him.
"Baby Jay did it." Jake said to me.
"Now, don't you dare blame this on your own son. We all know that he won't touch any glass. Now, what's really going on Jake?" I asked him.
" I just hate it when Marina bullies Izzy. And now she apologizes to her and becomes friends with my girlfriend? No, I won't accept that." Jake said to me.
"So what are you going to do?" I asked him.
"Here's what I'm going to do, I'm going to break up their friendship." Jake said to me.
"Yay hey no way, Jake don't do that." I said to him.
"I'm going to do it Cubby, you can't stop me." Jake said to me.
" Okay, but don't say I warned because you can get into a lot of trouble." I said to him as I went back into the living room.
"Marina, almost broke Izzy braces." Jake said to me as he walked into the living room.
"Yeah but.." I said to him.
"think about it cubby if you were wearing braces, and Marina was trying to kill you would you like it?" Jake asked me.
" No, but Jake I don't think this is the right thing to do." I said to him.
"Shut up I'm going to do it. Move." Jake said to me as he left the Hideout.
Jake's POV
As I was inside the dance studio, I took some spray paint and started to spray words like Izzy sucks eggs. And I also wrote down from Marina.
"Let's see if Izzy forgives Marina now." I said to myself as I went back to The Hideout.
The next morning, everyone gathered around the spray paint.
"Ay caramba who wrote this?" Bart asked himself.
"I don't know anything about that." I said to him.
"Marina wouldn't write this." Izzy said to herself.
"I don't know Izzy maybe she did. How about you go ask her?" I suggested to her.
" Ask me what?" Marina asked us.
" Marina did you write this on the wall, with spray paint?" Izzy asked her.
" No, I would never write anything mean about you Izzy, and to be honest I do not even like spray paint." Marina said to her.
"Well, it had to be somebody." Izzy said to herself.
"Don't worry Izzy we'll find the corporate that did this." Peter said to her as I looked at my hands install that I forgot to watch the spray paint off my hands. So I decided to hide it in my pocket.
"Jake, do you know anything about this?" Peter asked me.
"NO!" I said to him.
" That was a really loud no, Jake." Izzy said to me.
"Yeah I guess it was." I said to her.
"Can you guys excuse me I'm going to go use the bathroom." I sakd to them as I went into the restroom to wash the spray paint off my hands.
As I didn't noticed, someone was watching me.
Lisa's POV
As I saw Jake washing his hands, I noticed that he had spray paint on his hands.
"Oh my goodness, Jake wrote the words on the wall?" I asked myself as I took a picture.
As I went into Peter Pan's office, I showed him the picture.
"Peter it was Jake. Jake wrote that mean word to Izzy on the wall." I said to him.
" he did did he, well I'm going to let Izzy talk to him about that in my office while I'm in here. Do me a favor can you go get Izzy?" Peter asked me.
" Sure thing Peter!" I said to him.
Jake's POV
After I came out of the bathroom, the spray paint ink was still on my hands.
" JACOB ALEX HUTCHINSON PLEASE COME IN MY OFFICE RIGHT NOW YOUNG MAN!" Peter said through the loudspeakers.
"Why?" I asked him.
"Jacob Allen hutcherson get in here right now, or else you're going to GET IT!" Izzy said to me.
As I entered Peter's office, Izzy and Peter we're not happy.
"Jake, I am not happy." Izzy said to me.
"Is it because I forgot to make you breakfast in bed this morning?" I asked her.
"NO!" Both Peter and Izzy said to me.
"It's because of the words you want on the wall with spray paint." Peter said to me.
"You can't prove that was me." I said to him as he showed me the picture of me washing the spray paint off my hands.
"Tell me that doesn't look like a hand." Peter said to me.
"That doesn't look like my hands. You must be mistaken with another Jake." I said to him.
"Jake I want you to go get a sponge, and clean the spray paint off the wall." Peter said to me.
"Why me?" I aed him.
"Because if you don't, we're over." Izzy said to me.
"Oh, you can't be serious Izzy." I said to her.
" Oh no, I'm serious. If you don't clean your mouth Jake, we're done." Izzy said to me.
As I started to ran my mess, off the wall, Peter was watching me.
"I want everything off this wall by lunch time." Peter said to me.
"You know, I don't understand why I have to do this." I said to him as I turned around and saw Izzy with a heart as she ripped it in half.
"Okay, okay, I'm cleaning I'm cleaning." I said to them.
"You know, I don't understand how you and Marina became friends. Especially after Marina tried to break your braces off your teeth Izzy." I said to her.
" Jake do you not understand, Marina feels miserable. She doesn't have the special things that you and I have. She only has a little sister." Izzy said to me.
" Oh that's supposed to make me care?" I asked her.
"Well, apparently, yes." Izzy said to me.
"Well, I don't care." I said to her.
"Jake, you should care. Look I know Marina can't always be perfect, but I know she can change." Izzy said to me.
"Izzy, read my lips... I... DON'T...CARE." I yelled at her.
."I think Marina is only pretending to be nice cuz I know how you are when someone is nice." I said to her.
"Thanks for the offer Jake, but I know Marina isn't pretending to be nice to me." Izzy said to me.
"But, I can see a perfectly well that Marina is only pretending to be nice to you." I said to her.
As my phone started to ring, I answered it as it was Dr. Lynch calling me.
"Hey, Dr. Lynch what's up?" I asked him.
"Jake I'm sorry to bother you but your annual check up is tomorrow and you guys need to get the flu shot as well. And I want you guys to be here at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow." Dr. Lynch said to me.
"Okay, we'll be there at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow thank you!" I said to him as I hug up.
After the spray paint was off the wall, I went to go tell Izzy and Cubby that we all have our annual check up tomorrow along with the flu shot.
"So I just got off the phone with Dr Lynch, and he said that tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. we need to be there for our annual checkup along with the flu shot." I said to them.
"I don't want to go, I'm scared of needles." Cubby said to me.
"And I do not want to see another doctor, after I had my braces be put in me." Izzy said to me.
"The both of you are going, rather you like it or not." I said to them as Izzy starts to groan.
"I don't want to go." Izzy said under her breath as I ready heard her.
As we went to our finale dance rehearsal, Richelle thinks that Izzy should stand in the back because of her braces.
"I think it's better for you to stand in the back Izzy." Richelle said to her.
"Why?" Izzy asked her.
"Because your braces are the most ugliest thing in the world." Richelle said to her.
Izzy's POV
As I start to feel insecure about my braces, I was standing in the back.
"You okay Izzy?" Jake asked me as I nod my head even though I was trying to hold back my tears.
Once Jake noticed me wiping your tear from my face, he grabs hold of my hand.
"Peter Izzy and I are going to the cafeteria to get some replacements. " Jake said to him.
"Why?" Peter asked him.
"Because we're thirsty." Jake said to him while holding my hand and left.
Once we enter the cafeteria, Jake and I sat down on the couch. as I was trying to hold back my tears while looking at the floor.
"Izzy, I know what's wrong with you." Jake said to me.
"You do?" I asked him as he nods his head.
"Iz, you still look beautiful with braces on and that the judges won't cut the off because of your braces. Besides, you're going to have them taken off before the Internationals." Jake said to me as Cubby came in running.
"What happened?" Cubby asked us.
"Izzy was upset about her braces." Jake said to him.
"Iz, you look so cool with braces on." Cubby said to me.
"You can barely see my teeth with these braces on." I said to him." I said to him.
"Yeah, it's like having gold on your teeth." Cubby said to me.
" Cubby, my braces are grey." I said to him.
"Izzy giving us a smile." Jake said to me as I refuse to open mouth.
"Smile at the baby Jay!" Jake said to me as I did but unfortunately, baby Jay hid his head in Jake's chest.
"You see, I'm even scaring babies with these braces on me. I just scared my own baby son." i said to them.
"It's okay baby Jay, it's only mommy with braces on her teeth." Jake said to him.
"We should be getting back to rehearsal." Cubby said to us while Jake agreed as we went back.
"Is everything okay?" Peter asked us.
"Yes, Peter everything's fine, now." I sakd to him as we started rehearsing.
With me having braces on my teeth, I didn't care as long as we win the Internationals, then my braces are one of the things I shouldn't be worried about. And, no one is going to take that away from me. Not even Richelle.
