CHPATER SIX: "Midnight munchies!"

"Jess! Stop!" I yelled as she and Lindsay ran for the ice. They went out into the middle where the zamboni was, and they both climbed on.

"What are you doing, Jane!" Paige yelled.

"I'm riding! Come on!" she called.

The six of us at the edge of the rink looked at each other.

"I say if we're gonna get kicked out, we do something worth being kicked out over!" Jack said.

We stared at him.

For a long time.

A really long time.

So long, we had no other things to say about how long we stared.

"I'm with him!" Holly said, grabbing his arm. "We're getting thrown out anyways, right?"

"Mind as well have fun while we do it," Paige said, standing next to Holly.

I smiled. They had used my philosophy against me.

Cool.

"I'm in!" I said. "Let's go, Liz! You know you want to!"

"No, not really," she said.

"Will?" Holly asked.

"I'll pass."

"No ye won't!" Jack said. We started running and picked up Liz and Will as we ran through the tiny door and onto the ice rink. We all clambered on, and what the heck am I doing!

"Hang on!" Stewie yelled.

She turned the key and shifted it into gear, and we started moving.

"Oh my God!" I yelled.

"Wooooooohooooo!" Lindsay screamed, standing up next to Stewie. "Yeah!"

"Getting that thrill?" Holly asked.

"You know it!"

We were getting close to the front of the rink now, and I went up next to Lindsay and Jessica and said, "Turn, Stewie! We'll hit the glass if you don't!"

She tried to turn the wheel, but it was locked. At this, I grabbed it and tried turning it, but no good.

"AHHH! Turn it! TURN!" Jack yelled as the others rushed up around the wheel.

"It won't!" Jessica yelled. "We're gonna –"

CRASH!

We shattered the glass walls surrounding the rink and now we were heading right for the blue brick wall in front of us.

"Abandon ship!" Jack yelled.

"Too late!" Will said.

"DUCK!"

SUPER HUGE CRASH!

We bulldozed through the huge wall screaming, and it finally came to a stop there before going into the half-empty parking lot. We heard a crowd starting to gather and Doug was yelling his brains out.

"Bail?" I asked.

"Let's," Lindsay said as we all jumped off the zamboni and dashed for the car as fast as we could.

"Holly, you're with us," I said. "You think your mom'll mind if I bring you home instead of her coming to get you?"

"More than likely, but I don't know… my phone's still in the locker in there," she said.

"Well, run in and get all of our things, and we'll leave," Lindsay said.

"You're leaving me here!" Holly yelled.

"No! Get our things and then come back to the car and then we'll leave to take you back home. You could spend the night, but we have school tomorrow…" I said.

"OoOoOo… ok!"

I hour later -

Well, I had taken Holly out to her house in Dawson, and then we took another road that didn't go pass Divito to get to South Connellsville where the three of us lived. Stewie's was the first stop, and I turned off the car as I pulled up to her house.

"Jess, hold on a sec," I said before she could get out. "We sort of got these losers to deal with," I said, pointing to the back seat where Jack, Will, Elizabeth, and Paige were squished together.

"Yeah, where do they go?" Lindsay asked from between me and Stewie. "I can maybe see if I can get my grandma's place for the night again, but she's off work the rest of the week."

"Ooo, can't have that," Jessica said. "I can sneak maybe Paige into through the basement, but that would be super iffy."

"Everything's super iffy!" I said. "I sure has heck can't. I got a three year old and a twelve year old for siblings and parents with good hearing. Not gonna happen."

"I'll chance it," Lindsay said. "My dad'll be asleep when I get home, so I can maybe sneak them into my room and lock the door. We'll just have to leave early for school is all and sleeping is gonna be tight if you guys don't mind."

"It's fine," Lizzie said. "We'll have to if we're such a big secret."

"Ooo, bigger than you think…" I laughed nervously. "Lindsay, you sure?"

"Positive."

"Ok," I said. "Tomorrow, all of you be up and ready for six A.M. sharp. If your parents ask any questions, we're going to McDonald's for breakfast before school. We have no choice but to bring them with us."

Everyone gave me this look…

"Well how do we do that?" Jessica asked.

"We'll work that out tomorrow at breakfast," I said with a smile. Jack smiled and leaned forward suddenly.

"Does breakfast have rum and cheese?" he asked eagerly.

"Erm… sure, Jack. There'll be rum and cheese," Lindsay said. "But first, let's through the night in one piece, huh?" she said, patting him on the shoulder.

Lindsay's PoV – Her Dad's House -

Yeah, that's right! More of the star…

Erica drove down to First Street, and I looked down the line of small apartments along the right side of the road. My dad's was the first one passed this nicer one, and Erica stopped just beyond my dad's big white van.

"Is he awake?" she asked. I looked up, and the house was dark.

"Looks like it," I said. "You four stay on the porch until I make sure he's asleep, ok?"

"Aye."

"Ok."

"Got it."

"Sure."

"Good, now come on, and don't say one word, make one peep, objection, sound, knock anything over, or stub your toe because it's bound to happen because we're trying to sneak in," I said.

"Ye got lots of rules, darling," Jack said as I pulled him out of the back seat.

"Shh…"

"Be careful," Erica said after all of us were out of the car. "Remember, ready to go by six and keep quiet. Good luck."

"Luck? We don't need luck…" Paige said, waving her off. I giggled as Erica drove off up the road to go home.

"Come on," I whispered, pulling Will with me to the front porch as the others followed. I unlocked the door and poked my head inside. It was dark in the living room. I looked into the kitchen straight ahead looking for light coming from upstairs, but everything was dark. I opened the door wide.

"Is it safe?" Will asked.

"Yeah, but you follow me," I said. "Be quiet."

Through the living room, kitchen, up the stairs…

"Go right," I whispered, pointing in the direction of my room. I looked to my left right at my dad's door and I heard loud snoring, but really, that didn't mean much. I turned and there are two doors; the one in front is the bathroom, and another right put me in my room. I held the door open and the four of them stumbled into my room.

"The bed is right there," I whispered. "Sit down and don't move!"

I slipped inside, went over to the stand beside my bed, and I clicked on the little lamp. It lit my whole room dimly, and gave me enough to see that the four of them piled on my bed in a human knot.

"Come on," I said, pulling them apart. "I told you I have a tiny room…"

"So how's this work and all?" Jack asked.

"Well… Paige and I can curl up in a ball on the bed; two of you can lay long-ways on your sides, and one of yinz (gotta love Pittsburgese… it's our language lol) can sit against the door."

"That'd be me spot," Jack said, taking a seat right in front of my door. He tipped his hat over his eyes and leaned back into the door silently.

"Guess we get the floor," Liz said.

"Yeah, and you two better behave," I said, wagging my finger at them with an amused smile… Ha ha… I am so hyper right now. This had to be the worst time for me to be quiet with four pirates who didn't know any better. I sat on my bed, kicked off my shoes, and pulled on some pj bottoms. I left my Nightmare Before Christmas hoodie on because I was being lazy and I was perfectly comfy just like this.

"All in favor of the light going out say aye!" I said.

"Aye!" Jack, Paige, and Liz said in unison.

"Will?" I asked.

"Huh? What?"

"Do you need the light on?"

"Oh, no."

I shut it off and rolled up in a ball hugging my pillow. Paige was doing the same I guessed. I smiled as I thought the night over. I was so hyper! Not good! Suddenly, I heard Will's stomach growl and busted out laughing in my pillow. It takes so little to set me off! I swear! SUGAR!

"Aren't we trying to be quiet?" I heard Jack say, directing that question towards me. I sat up and turned on my lamp again.

"Will, do you need some midnight munchies?" I asked.

"Midnight munchies!" Jack said, sitting up away from the door and pointing at me. "I like it! It reminds me of cheese!"

"Who knows, maybe there is!" I said. "Who's hungry?"

"Whoa, what happened to stay low, be quiet, and don't stub our toes?" Paige asked, sitting up next to me.

"We are," I said. "We're just getting a snack."

"Jane, we can't be found out," Lizzie said.

"We won't," I said, standing up. "Paige and I'll go raid the kitchen, that is if Will's stomach wasn't growling and it was gas in which case we can give him Bean-o."

"I'll stick with the munchies," he said, sitting against my little dresser.

"Mmm'k! 'S'ko, Paige."

"But-"

I grabbed her arm and took her outside of my room. She glared at me from what the light coming from the bathroom window would allow me to see, but I just whispered "Come on," and led her down the stairs.

"Jane-"

"Shh! We're invisible…" I whispered. We stepped over the gate that we had at the bottom of the stairs so Trudy's dog Trixie doesn't go upstairs or downstairs depending on where we put her. Or, it was there to save Erica's butt from Trixie when we were going upstairs to my room. Haha…

We stepped over it, and Paige went over to the fridge and opened it.

"What are we looking for?" she whispered.

"Food."

"Well, what kind?"

"Doesn't matter."

I got a flashlight lying on the dining table and looked up in the cupboards. Pancake mix, canned corn, pasta, salt… what happened to all the good stuff!

Oh yeah, it's all up in my room…

"Grab the pop and let's go," I said.

"Pop? There is none," Paige said.

"Oh yeah, that's up in my room, too."

5:45 am -

I had gotten my shower, now I gotta get these losers ready. Well, there's no helping Jack or Will at the moment since I have nothing for them to wear unless they want bras, skirts, and my pimp moo-cow hat.

But Paige and Liz, they need some help…

They already had on my clothes I had lent them yesterday, but I made them change into new outfits. Paige was wearing one of my pairs of black baggy jeans and the red tee-shirt I wore last week with a tie. Nightmare Before Christmas tie. I love that. Liz had jeans and this graffiti shirt, and I was struggling and in a hurry to finish straightening her hair right now.

"Hurry, Jane!" Paige said. "We've only got fifteen minutes!"

"I'm trying! Are you all ready?"

"Aye!"

"Yes."

"Yeah."

"No!" Liz said as I grabbed the last strand of her hair.

"Oh, shut up," I said. "I'm trying to do this right!"

Suddenly, I heard a knock at my bedroom door. We all looked up frozen, and I asked, "who is it?"

"It's Stewie! Come on!"

I sighed all relieved and everything. This sneaking out crap with four pirates from another world was really starting to take a toll on my nerves. I was jumping left and right at ever sound.

"Coming!" I whispered, unplugging the straightening iron.

"But-"

"It's time to go!" I said to them. "Remember what I told you last night when we were coming in or I will kill you before my Dad ever gets the chance to."

They looked scared, so I had reached them.

"Now let's go."

I opened the door and Stewie was standing there waiting quietly as the Jack, Will, Elizabeth, and Paige filed out behind me. Stewie lead the way downstairs and we hurried through my living room and out the door; myself the last, locking it after swinging my book bag over my shoulder and sprinting out the house. The back car door was open and I squeezed in with Jack, Will, Lizzie, and Stewie, where as Paige got to sit up front.

Damn.

I shoulda called shotgun.

"So, now what?" Paige asked as I slammed the car door and Erica started driving. "Jane told us the school doesn't open til seven and that even then we wouldn't get there til the late bell rang."

"Well, both schools open at seven but have two different late bells," Erica explained (AH! Look out! Erica's spazzin'!). "High school at 7:25, West at 7:40."

"Me and Erica got to the high school, but Stewie's still at West. It's her last year, though," I said.

"Which brings up what to do with the four of them during school," Jess said.

"Well, we'll go to McDonald's for breakfast like I said, and I've thought about it like mad and even lost sleep over it, but the only thing we can do is bring them with us," Erica said.

"Bring them WITH US!" I shouted. "No WAY!"

"Any other suggestions?"

"Well!- no."

"Jess, you can take Will and Liz with you," Erica said. "Lindsay, Paige is in with the juniors like me according to her birthday and all, so she's with us, and we've also got Jack."

"JACK!" I yelled. "But he'll be hitting on every teacher in the building and probably get arrested before the days' out!"

"Chance we take."

Omg, this is the worst week of my life…

I'm lucky to even post since I feel so horrible. Lindz and Jess and I aren't really speaking and other stuff… want an idea of what I feel like?

Review! Sorry it took so long to update.
