Chapter 16: Halloween Part 2
Sarah is just about to walk out the door. "Hold it right there!" She hears Vinny yell as he's coming down the stairs. "I didn't do anything." Sarah told him trying to act innocent. "Sarah, we've known each other for a over a year. I know when you're lying." Vinny explained to her. "You can tell that from only knowing someone for a year?" Jake asked him. "Yeah." Vinny replied. "Fine, me and Jake were looking at your college jerseys and that's all." Sarah said to him. "Vinny we put them back." Jake then added. "Not in the order I had them." Vinny replied. "How can you tell?" Sarah asked him. "On the tag inside the jersey I labeled them. Fr for Freshmen year, Soph for Sophmore year, Jr for Junior year and Sr for Senior year. I know it's a little crazy but, that's how I organized them." Vinny explained. "You got that right." Sarah said agreeing with Vinny. "Vinny we were only looking at them." Jake told him. "That's all? You two didn't do anyhting to them?" Vinny asked them. "No." Jake and Sarah answered at the same time. "I'm sorry for getting mad at you two. Thenext time you two want to look at them just ask me." Vinny said to them. "That means I can wear one to school tomorrow?" Jake asked him. "Sure. Which one do you want to wear?" Vinny asked Jake. "Which one did you wear when youtore your knee?" Jake then asked. "This one." Vinny replied as he handed the jersey to Jake. "How come I can't wear one of your jerseys?" Lorraine asked him. "Because you get that perfume crap all over it." Vinny replied. "Thanks Vinny." Jake said as him and Sarah were leaving. "I have to tell you something Vinny." Lorraine said. "What is it dear?" Vinny asked. "My mom and dad are going to one of their friends house for a party tonight and they wanted to know if we could.." Lorraine started to say. "Don't even say it. I'm not babysittingin that house tonight especially when's it Halloween." "Why not?" Lorraine then asked him. "Vinny it will be fun." Joey told him. "Yeah that way Sarah can know where you are at all times." Tony then said. "I'll be an easy target for a prank. I'm not going and that's final." Vinny stated to Lorraine.
At the Baker house Mike,Kyle and Nigel are looking at Vinny's college jersey. "Can I wear it Jake?" Mike asked him. "No. I told Vinny I would take care of it." Jake replied. Tom walks into the room "Hey guys I want to behave tonight." he told them. "Why?" Mike asked. "Vinny and Lorraine are coming over here to watch you guys tonight while me and your mom are at the Halloween party tonight." Tom told them. "Great, Vinny and Sarah in the same house all night on Halloween." Jake said sarcastically. "What's so bad about that?" Tom asked him. "Think about it two of the biggest prank artist in this house tonight on Halloween. The holiday made of pranks." Jake told him. "What about the candy?" Kyle asked Jake. "That's the reason for Halloween when you're a little kid. When you get to about 14 you realize Halloween is about pulling pranks on people and throwing toliet paper on trees." Jake replied. "Which reminds me. Jake you and Sarah are still on house arrest for Halloween." Tom told him. "Still?" Jake asked. "Yes. After you guys egged, silly stringed and toliet papered the Shenks house, Mrs.Shenks car and Mrs.Shenk herself." Tom explained. Mike and Jake are laughing because they're remembering how Mrs.Shenk looked covered in eggs and silly string.
Vinny and Lorraine are over watching the Baker kids. It's during a thunderstorm so Nigel, Kyle and Mike can't go Trick or Treating. (I know it's corny a thunderstorm during Halloween but it builds up to where I'm going with this chapter.) Sarah puts her plan into action. She starts by dressing a dummy up in Mike's clothing and hangs him from her window like he's rappelling from the roof. "Vinny,Mike was rappelling form the roof and his ropestarted to break!" Sarah screamed horrified. Vinny looks out the window and sees the dummy and Vinny knows it's a dummy but, he thought he would humor Sarah and go along with it. Sarah drops the dummy like it was Mike falling from the roof. Vinny goes out there and acts shocked when he sees it's not actually Mike. "Up here Vinny!" Sarah yells from her window. Vinny looks up and Sarah dumps a gallon of red paint on him. Vinny is pissed off and goes to get inside but the door is locked. Vinny is drenched from the rain and red paint. He goes to Sarah's window and yells "Sarah open the god damn door! Don't close your shades on me! Don't turn off your light like you can't hear me!". Vinny goes in through the basement window and makes a bunch of noise in the basement. Lorraine hears these noises and is horrified. She tells Sarah to get her lacrosse stick and wait by the basement door for it to open. The door opens and she hits Vinny in the head with it. "Oh my god!" Lorraine screams realizing that Vinny was the person in the basement. Vinny is holding his eye and is screaming like he was hit in the eye with the stick. He has blood in his hand that's coming from his eye. Lorraine is about to pass out. Jake calls Joey and Tony and they drive Vinny to the hospital. On the way there Vinny is laughing his ass off. "What's so funny?" Joey asked him. "This." Vinny replied as he moved his hand from his eye and showed Joey and Tony the fake blood packet he had in his hand. "Vinny you scared the crap out of us!" Tony yelled. "It was well worth it." Vinny replied as he was cleaning the fake blood off his hands.
They drive Vinny back to the Baker house. Vinny tells Lorraine everything and she slaps him in the back of the head. "Go tell my brothers and sisters that you're all right!" Lorraine yelled at him. "Fine I will." Vinny replied. He saw an eye patch from Kyle's pirate costume. He takes it and puts it over his eye. He knocks on Jake's door and walks in. Mike and Jake are starring at him and are feeling really bad about what happenned to him. "I have to tell you guys something." Vinny told them. "You're going to press charges against Sarah aren't you?" Jake asked him. "No." Vinny said as he removed the eye patch. Jake and Mike are angry at him and relieved at the same time. "Vinny you have something wrong with you." Jake told him. "Tell me something I didn't know." Vinny replied. Jake shoves Vinny and Mike also shoves Vinny. Vinny is laughing because he just pulled a fast one over Sarah. He now has to go to Sarah's room and tell her that he wasn't really injured. Just sick in the head.
"How's your eye?" Sarah asked him. "It's fine nothing's wrong with it." Vinny replied. "Then why are you wearing an eye patch?" Sarah then asked him. Vinny removes the eye patch and Sarah is pissed at him. "You made me feel sorry for you!" Sarah yelled at him. "I apologize for that." Vinny responded. "I thought I had poked your eye out!" Sarah yelled again. "It was a harmless prank. You of all people should understand that." Vinny told her. " I hate you and you ruined my life!" Sarah screamed at Vinny as she slammed the door in his face.
