The Blair...Whatever

1:30 P.M: Just outside of some town

Virginia fiddled messily with the video camera, turning the ring around the lens to focus the view. Once she was satisfied, she held her arms out in front of her while holding the camera and switched the ON button with her pinky.

"Hi," she said loudly, making her voice very clear," my name's Virginia. I've got this new project...and..." She made her voice high, giving it a dramatic sound, "...we're going to be going into the woods, to find the Blair...Whatever. Okay." She flicked the camera off with a sigh.

3:30 P.M: Meeting spot, right outside Clive's house

Virginia had been waiting in the town square for what seemed hours. Where are those two? she thought, tapping her foot.

And speak of the devil, a car drove up hastily right in front of her, steering slightly to the left, knocking a fire hydrant a clear fifty feet into the air and onto some guy's head. The doors on both sides of the car opened, a furious white smoke pouring outside and into Virginia's face, making her wheeze. The sound of stupid, idiotic laughter filled the air, along with the cars doors shutting, and two figures became clear once the haze drifted off into the distance.

"Whoa..." Gallows said loudly with his eyes crossed, leaning up against the car.

"Really..." Jet chuckled as he walked around the car with a video camera leaning up on his shoulder, which he promptly turned on and pointed at Virginia.

"You two are late!" she scolded angrily. "Did you bring the camera?"

"Check it out!" Jet said pointing at the camera.

Virginia noticed the slight red REC button flashing and realized what Jet was doing. "Okay, stop filming me, I'm the director."

"Keep doin' it man!" Gallows yelled in an excited tone.

"I mean it!" Virginia snarled, leaping to the right.

"Smile for the camera!" Jet exclaimed happily, following Virginia with the lens in hot pursuit.

"STOP IT!"

"C'MON SMILE!"

"NO!"

"LOOKIN' HOT!"

"STOP-" With a loud yelp, Virginia slipped and landed in the cold water spilled by the missing fire hydrant.

Jet and Gallows leaned over her, REC button still flashing.

"Could you do that again?" Gallows asked. "It wasn't in focus."

Jet burst out laughing and he and Gallows gave each other a high five.

3:37 P.M: Moments afterward

Gallows knocked slowly on the door of the blue roofed house. Moments passed.

"Any time..." Virginia snarled impatiently.

"Do you know this guy?" Gallows asked blinking.

"Is he cool?" Jet asked, rubbing his extremely messed up hair.

"He has his own sound equipment," Virginia added.

"Cool," Jet and Gallows said in harmony.

As if on cue, a man walked out the door, a microphone pole slung over his shoulder with several cords wrapped around his torso. Underneath the mats of green hair, was a pair of headphones ion his neck.

Jet and Gallows raised their eyebrows.

"You must be Clive," Virginia said eyeing him.

He nodded. "Indeed I am."

7:00 P.M: Out on the road

The four had hit the road, heading to the local town of Laxisland by convertible. It vroomed loudly as it sped passed the dunes with Gallows at the wheel, Jet in passenger, and Virginia and Clive in the back.

It wasn't to far from Laxisland when Clive spoke up. "Thanks guys, this is awesome."

"No problem," Gallows said with a grin.

"No really, thanks," Clive said again.

"You got it," Jet said, nodding. But Clive went on.

"Thanks. Thank you guys. Thanks so much... Okay." He gave a small chuckle. "Never been to the woods before... I was kinda hopin' it wasn't gonna be scary...because...I freak out...when it's scary time."

"No problem," said Virginia beside him, "like a friendly camping trip."

"Oh!" Clive said suddenly, putting an index finger up. "I brought some Super-Lax!"

The smiles on the other three's faces vanished, replaced by wide-eyes and mouths slightly open in shock.

Clive saw this and changed the subject. "So what's your names?"

Gallows looked over his shoulder. "That's Virginia and Jet. Call me Gallows, man."

Clive gave a frown. "Gallows? What kind of a name is Gallows'?"

"Just a name man," Gallows said with a tint of annoyance in his voice.

"Sorry, man..." Clive said quietly.

1:00 P.M: The Next day, interviewing a trailer owner

"What can you tell us about the Blair...Whatever?" Virginia asked the man loudly as Jet, Gallows, and Clive stood with the equipment in motion pointed at the man.

"Well," the owner started, "all these kids were disappearing in the woods...so mysteriously. Y'know... Everyone thought it was maybe" -he lowered his voice to a whisper- "David Copperfield!"

The four filmers glanced at each other with an okaaaaaay expression on their faces, then continued.

"I went to this sideshow once," the landowner continued, "this magician put a lama in a box, spun the box a few times..." His eyes went wide. "And there was no lama... Now you don't see that everyday! Lama here, lama gone! Just chills ya to the bones!"

The other four just stood there with an eyebrow cocked at the complete craziness of this interview. Virginia was the first to snap out of it.

"Thank you for your precious time," she said turning and walking away, followed by her companions.

2:30 P.M: By a dock, interviewing once again with a little hope of actually learning something

The next person was a totally geek dressed in a pirate suit. Virginia was slightly hoping...

"I'm a pirate!" the moron squawked. "I only know the ways of the sea! ARGH!"

All four of them slapped themselves on the foreheads.

3:00 P.M: Town Square, praying for some info

The interview person just gave a smile, looked straight into the camera, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "WHOO-HOO!"

"Someone shoot me..." Virginia groaned.

4:00 P.M: The grocery store

Virginia waited patiently outside the store in the car, until, at last, the boys came out. With only ONE bag.

"Did you guys even get the supplies?" Virginia asked, staring hopelessly at the bag.

"Yep," Gallows stated proudly. He reached into the bag and pulled out a bag of...

"...marshmallows," Virginia said, an eyebrow twitching.

"It's mellow!" Gallows yelled.

"Mellow!" Jet and Clive echoed.

They started a strange chant.

"Mellow! Mellow! Mellow! MELLOW! MELLOW! MELLOW! MELLOW!"

Virginia fainted.

"What's wrong with her?" Jet asked.

"Who cares?" Gallows shouted. "Chant people!"

"MELLOW! MELLOW! MELLOW! MELLOW!"
