A/N: Awright! Got a new story, everyone! You'll get a little shock when you read the note, though.
Saved your Skin
Amanda grimaced as the headphones dissolved into nothingness. Well, that sure is comforting when going home time comes along, she thought, dumping the timer on the wooden table next to her stereo.
Taking care to be sneaky, as with last night, Amanda slunk around so that she was behind a curtain. She crouched, and noticed with a wave of relief that Christine couldn't have left her bed more than 30 seconds ago.
Cocking her head, Amanda's brain whirred. That means that the law was bent, not broken. If it were broken, it probably would have been a day after I had went back.
She then realized that there was also 30 seconds until Phantom meltdown. "He might have not understood what I meant by 'Keep your temper'!" she mouthed to the air.
Her brain racked itself again, her insides writhing with stress…
…she had it!
Racing over to the timer she had carelessly tossed onto the table, she swept it up, withdrew the keyboard, and quickly typed in "Five wireless speakers". Barely a second after they had appeared (under the table; there wasn't any more room on top), she typed in "Keyboard of separate controls for each speaker".
It appeared, and Amanda typed in the last thing: Blink-182 CD.
Plugging the master stereo control to the CD player, Amanda did a time check while depositing one of the speakers in the bed, propping it up against a pillow.
15 seconds!
Quickly but quietly, she took up the speakers. (they were really light) She then exited through the side, and crept along the ground to what looked like Erik's bedroom. She set the first speaker on a table behind a curtain, hiding it from view.
Creeping along the way she came, she deposited the second speaker on the left side of the beach, keeping it mostly obscured by a cave wall.
Now for the final two: These were hardest. Going through the bedroom, exiting out the main entrance, and inching along the wall, Amanda used all of her skills of sneaking, both her natural ones and the ones Erik had taught her, to place one of the speakers about 10 feet from the bedroom and behind a curtain and the last one a bit behind the organ. (Christine was facing the other direction and Erik had his eyes closed, so…yeah.)
Amanda ran quietly back to her bedroom, ripped out the Green Day CD from the CD player, slammed the Blink-182 CD down, chose Track 11 (Easy Target, this is COPYRIGHTED!)…
5 seconds!
…turned on all five stereos, turned them up, and whacked play on the CD player.
SUCCESS!
Lest than 2 seconds before Christine took his mask off, the drum solo bounced around the room, filling it. Amanda put her fingers on the last 4 power buttons, getting ready.
Holli's looking dry, looking for an easy target (Erik's Room)
Let her slit my throat, give her ammo if she'll use it (10 feet from the bedroom)
Caution on the road lies lies and hidden danger (On the beach)
Southern California's breeding (Organ)
Mommy's Little Monster! (In the bedroom)
Amanda grinned as she checked out the expressions on the couple's face. Erik looked like he wanted nothing better than to murder something (or someone. Amanda frowned.) and Christine looked lost, confused, and disappointed. All in all, Amanda knew she was in deep trouble, but at least she was having fun.
