Chapter 7: Time To Face The Music
It's now Monday. Vinny and Sarah go back to school and find out that they must pay for the trouble they got each other into. "Hey Keith what's up?" Vinny asked Keith as he walked into Vinny's classroom. "Like you don't know." Keith told him with anger. "No, I don't." Vinny replied. Keith hands him the note and tells Vinny what "he" did to him. "We didn't go to Michigan High School." Vinny told him. "You wrote that not me." Keith told him. "We went to Fairfield." Vinny said to Keith. "Then why did you put we went to Michigan High School?" Keith asked him. "I went to The University of Michigan." Vinny then told Keith. "I know you went to a Division 1 College and I got stuck going to a Division 2. Stop rubbing it in." Keith said. Vinny goes to open his draw but, he can't. Keith is waitng for his draw to open because Keith rigged Vinny's desk like Sarah rigged his desk. "I can't get this thing opened." Vinny told him. "Stop playing Vinny." Keith told him. "Keith you get it opened. You're stronger then me." Vinny told him. "I guess going to The University of Michigan didn't make you stronger then me did it?" Keith asked as he opened the draw and stuff came flying out at him. "No, but it did make me smarter then you." Vinny said as he walked out of his classroom.
Sarah runs into Mr.Helms. "Ms.Baker you missed detention on Friday." He told her. "I did?" Sarah asked him. "Yes you did. And that will cost you another week of detention." Mr.Helms replied. "I didn't even do anything." Sarah tried to explain. "Then who did? Was it your identical twin that called me Jeff on Friday?" Mr.Helms asked her. "So, I see you met my twin." Sarah told him. "Ms.Baker this is no time for games. Now, I'll be watching detention for the next four weeks and I know that you will be there with me." Mr.Helms explained as he walked away. Sarah is furious at Vinny. As she is walking she bumps into Taylor Hullen. "I'm sorry Taylor." Sarah told him. "No it was my fault." Taylor replied with fear im his voice. "What's wrong with you?" Sarah asked him. "I'm fine just as long as you don't karate flip me anymore." Taylor told her as he was running away from her. "Wow. Vinny actually did something nice for me." Sarah said as she was walking.
Vinny and Sarah run into each other in the hallway. "Why didn't you show up to detention on Friday?" Sarah asked him. "I was busy beating up Taylor Hullen for you." Vinny replied. "I think this is yours." Sarah told him as she gave him his guitar pick. "Thanks." Vinny told her. "Jake showed me the tape. Where did you learn to play like that?" Sarah asked him. "I was in a band in high school. I played guitar and sang." He told her. "You were in a band?" Sarah asked him. "Yeah. I loved playing with those guys. It was the best four years of my life. We would play at school dances and when we graduated we played at the biggest graduation party of the year and we got plastered. That was our farwell tour." Vinny explained. "One more thing what does FBI stand for?" Sarah asked him. "Full Blooded Italians. That was the name of our band." Vinny explained. "So that's why your guitar and pick are those colors?" Sarah asked him. "Yup. And if Lorraine finds out I'll kill you." Vinny told her. "Lorraine doesn't know about this?" Sarah then asked. "No. Only my family,me,my band and my Barone relatives know." Vinny told her. "How did your Barone relatives find out?" Sarah asked. "They use to come to our shows when we played at clubs. Well, Ray and Robert did. Sometimes Ray would bring his wife Debra." Vinny explained. "So me, Jake and Mike are the only Bakers who know that you can play the guitar?" Sarah asked him. "How do Jake and Mike know?" Vinny asked her. "Mike figured out that we switched bodies and Jake overheard this. And since you were me when I played the guitar he figured it out but, they don't know that you were in a band in high school." Sarah explained. "I knew Mike found out. He's smarter then he looks." Vinny told her. "He can be when he wants to but, he likes playing the average kid." Sarah told him. "I think if he wanted to, he could be as smart as Kim and Jessica if he wanted." Vinny told her. "Let's not go that far." Sarah told him. "All right maybe as smart as me." Vinny then said. "My Spanish teacher isn't going to call on me for the rest of the year." Sarah told him. "Why not?" Vinny asked. "I had my hand raised and she didn't call on me. I put my hand up all day in that class and I wasn't called on." Sarah explained. "No need to thank me." Vinny told her. "I was doing good in that class!" Sarah yelled. "Does it look like I care?" Vinny asked her. "You should! I'm in Advanced Spainsh!" Sarah then yelled. "Don't yell at me yell at your teacher!" Vinny yelled back. Mr.Helms sees then arguing. "Is there a problem here?" He asked them. "No Mr.Helms." Sarah replied. "Are you sure Sarah?" He asked her. "Look Jeff the girl said that there was no problem here. You can go back to doing what you were doing before you decided to stick your nose in our business." Vinny told him. Jeff is looking at him in disbelief. "I think a studentjust got caught with gum. You should go give him detention for that Jeff. I mean that's why they pay that hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year for. While I make like six hundred and sixty million dollars a year." Vinny told him. "For the last time Mr.DiMiranda it's Mr.Helms." Jeff told him turning beet red with anger. "And for the time I'll call you that when you make more money then me and so far it doesn't look like you will Jeff." Vinny said as him and Sarah walked away. "I can't believe you said that to him." Sarah said. "What's he going to do fire me?" Vinny asked. "Yeah." Sarah told him. "Then I go back to my old job sitting on my butt until I get called to solve a problem at one of my headquarters and make half a million dollars doing it." Vinny replied. "I told you your life was easier then mine." Sarah told him. "Ain't it great." Vinny replied as they walked out of school. "Vinny where do you think your going?" Keith said as he was walking towards them. "Home." Vinny replied. "You need to pay for what you did to me." Keith told him. Vinny takes out his checkbook and writes a check for five thousand dollars. "That enough." Vinny replied as he handed the check to Keith. "That's enough." Keith said with a smile on his face as he walks away. "Now, you just cost me five thousand dollars. That equals twenty thousand dollars all together you cost me since I met you." Vinny told Sarah. Sarah and Vinny argue about this and everything is back to normal.
