Hey! I need more reviews! Ha ha, just kidding. But seriously. I do. Guess what? I 3 the Veronicas! They're a band. You can go to their website. Just Google them. They're awesome! Bu anyway, the story!
Slowly but surely, and very quietly, Stacie, Violet, and Mayme worked their way on the elevator located very close to the front hall.
"I say we go to the basement."
"No. The top floor."
"All captives are in the basement, Violet."
"Actually, I'm now Invisiforce."
"Invisiforce, Violet, whatever! Basement!"
"Top floor!"
"Basement!"
"Top floor!"
"Basement!"
"Top floor!"
"Basement!"
"Top floor!"
"Basement!"
"Top floor!"
"Actually," interrupted Mayme. "She's on the top floor, but Bob is in the basement. Now what?"
"Bob first," said Stacie.
"No, Helen!" said Violet, or Invisiforce.
"Bob!"
"Helen!"
"Bob!"
"Helen!"
"CAN WE STOP?" Mayme was screaming at the top of her lungs. "I say Bob first. It'd motivate Helen, I guess."
"Told ya, Invisiforce."
"Shut up, Apogee."
Ding, ding went the elevator. The doors opened and Stacie looked around. Everything was all white and clean, but the only thing missing were the people. The only color in the room was three bright red super-suits. Or was it four? By George, it was four.
"Dad!" screamed Violet.
----------
Bob was looking in the basement first because that's where all captives were held. He had nothing to find down there except a voice that sounded like his daughters'. He turned around, glad to see she was alright.
"There's my girl."
Violet ran over, feeling happier than ever to see her dad. But depressed at the same time. "Dad, you can stop hugging me now."
"Right." Bob let go.
"I want to know about David."
Bob just stared. David? That name hadn't been mentioned since the day Helen and Bob got married. "David?"
"David."
Bob looked at Mayme, who immediately pointed to her left, which just so happened to be the location of her mother. "Stacie-"
"I had to tell her!"
"You had to tell her about David?"
"She had to learn soon."
"Now wasn't the time for her to learn!"
"Why couldn't she know?"
Bob looked down. "Helen, she, she, she didn't want her to know."
"Why didn't she?"
"She had a secret about it."
"Oh. Oh, that secret. I didn't tell her that."
"You didn't tell me what?" asked Violet.
Stacie looked at Bob. "I told Mayme. Violet should be able to know."
Bob looked at Violet. "Do you want the short version or the long version?"
"Or the very long version," said Mayme.
"Mayme," Bob growled.
"Short version please," said Violet.
Bob leaned back on the wall, hitting his head. "Your mom, she didn't like David that much as a friend. Sydney wanted me, and apparently she still does, but she went out with David. Eventually, she found out that he was Helen's brother, and used it to her advantage. She killed him, as you probably know. Then Helen got mad. And not the mad you usually see at me."
"What do you mean?"
"She broke up with me, and went with a guy that nearly killed her, so she came back to me."
"Almost killed her? Are you kidding? This was the short version?"
"I told you."
"You didn't tell me anything until now!"
"Vi, I'm sorry!"
"You should be sorry!" Tears were starting to race down Violet's cheeks.
"I didn't mean to make you upset! Just, your mom, I..." Bob had lost the words there. He couldn't think of anything but how upset Violet was. "I didn't want to bring it up. She would get really upset. He was very close to killing her. She, she doesn't need to be reminded of the moment."
Violet looked up in disbelief. "You really do care about your family, huh?"
"More than you know."
"Then you wouldn't mind to know that mom's on the top floor."
"I wouldn't mind knowing that at all."
"You wanna know something else?"
"What?'
"My boyfriend broke up with me."
"It's not that bad. In about a month, he'll be begging you to come back. Now let's get up."
Violet turned around to Mayme.
"He still likes you," said Mayme.
The four bright red people raced back to the elevator. Unfortunately for everybody, the elevator door opened, revealing Sydney and Helen.
"Helen!" Stacie was happy.
"Stacie!" Helen was happy.
"Sydney." Bob wasn't all happy.
"Bob!" Sydney was happy.
"Sydney?" Violet was confused.
"Sydney." Mayme answered Violet's not so clear question. "Now can we just settle this?"
"Yes we can," said Sydney. She dropped something the looked almost like lip gloss, and then hopped back in the elevator, with Bob being dragged in.
"Helen!" screamed Bob.
"Bob!" The door closed. "No, don't go."
"HOLY CRAP THE LIP GLOSS IS A BOMB!" screamed Violet.
"But I like the color."
"MAYME!"
"Oh, right." She picked it up, looking at it long and hard. "It's not a bomb."
"It isn't?"
"Nope."
"Then what is it?"
"A nuclear bomb."
"A WHAT?"
"Just kidding. You can turn off the beeping just like this." Mayme pushed the cap of the pink and glittery gloss.
"Please, don't do that," said Helen. "I've suffered enough today."
"What do you mean?" ask Stacie.
"She was close. Real close."
"To killing you?"
"Yeah, but she didn't. It was like a reenactment or something."
"Of what?" said Violet. "David?"
Helen looked at her daughter almost thinking that she didn't say David. "Who, who told you about, Dave, David?"
"Why does that matter?" Stacie looked at Mayme, and sighed. Thank god she didn't say her name. "I want to know why you never told me about him."
"I don't, I, Vi, I.." Helen kept stammering until she started crying. "I didn't want you to be upset."
"I am upset!" Violet knew something had happened.
"YOU DID'T WATCH HIM DIE!" She started crying again. "Sydney told me she was going to kill him with a gun, and she was going to do it, but I stopped her. I took the gun away from her and threw it on the floor. And it went off."
Violet just stood there. "Wow. I mean, just, wow. Mom, I'm sorry."
"You didn't do anything."
"But you did," said Stacie. "You didn't even tell me that."
"Stace, I'm sorry."
"I know. I don't want to make your day worse."
"Thanks."
"So, does the fact that your husband is really upset right now mean a thing?"
"He's upset?"
"That phone call made him so, you know, desperate. Just like college-"
"Don't even say that word!"
"Then we'd better get going!"
There was just one little problem. There were guards. Ten to be exact. And Mayme was the only person who had noticed.
"I don't think we have to go."
"You don't?"
"No, they'll be right back soon, and they'll have my husband here so I can fight for him."
"You're still evil."
"I know."
"Mom?" said Mayme.
"What?"
"Look behind you."
After a slight look, Stacie was getting bug eyes. "Yeah, I can see JUST what's behind me. And let me tell you, he is big."
----------
"What do you want from me?"
"I want you, and you know that."
Sydney and Bob in the elevator took quite some time. Bob just wanted to get out and run. Sydney wanted to just get out. The place was cramped.
"I know, but why did you take my wife?"
"She's the only thing keeping me from you, and you from me."
"Stop it."
"What am I doing? You're holding back, Bob. Confess. I did."
Bob looked at Sydney with a cruel face. "I don't like you at all."
Sydney just looked at Bob. "You did once in your life. Why can't you do it again?"
"I'm in love with somebody else."
"You still can't resist. Why else did you kiss me?"
"Oh my god, you kissed me!"
"You kissed back."
That he did. He had definitely kissed back.
"I told you that you couldn't resist."
Bob just stood there. "Maybe I can."
The elevator door opened and Bob ran. One problem.
"This is the top floor. What do you plan to do now, Mr. Incredible?"
"You know what? I don't get it! You just, you kill people so you can be with me!"
"I'd do anything for you."
BOOM! There was an explosion from the basement.
"Uh oh." Bob rushed back to the elevator. The basement. How in the heck could lip gloss explode? But it wasn't the lip gloss at all.
Aw, guys, I feel terrible. I've found the block again. I'm trying to push it again, but it just won't move! Stupid writers block! Come on, you stupid block! MOVE!
I'm hoping there's not a review block.
