Chapter 10; Fishy Happenings
The week went by too fast for the kids, who tried to spend as much time with Specs and Jacquie as humanly possible, and then Halloween was only a day away. It was lunch, and the girls, who now sat with the guys at their table, were discussing their Halloween costumes.
"What are you going as, Crutchy?" Laura asked.
"The Phantom of The Opera" he replied between mouthfuls of mashed potatoes.
"Awesome! I was going to go as Christine" Laura expressed.
"Aww how cute..." Race teased.
"And what are you being?" asked Laura.
"The Joker..." he said matter-of-factly.
"And Katie?"
"Queen of Hearts"
"Pretty cool" said Blink "But not as cool as mine!"
"Let me guess..." said Brittany. "Long John Silver?"
"Um no, actually I'm going as a Bunny"
Brittany choked on the potato chip that she had just put in her mouth.
"A bunny?"
"Yeah dude, he lost a bet" replied Mush from across the table.
"Well it works out perfectly then" Brittany said with a smirk.
"It does?" Blink said, a little confused.
"Yeah...I'm going as Cher"
"Bunny and Cher?" Blink asked, still confused.
"Get it?" Brittany started laughing "Bunny and Cher!"
Everyone at the table turned to look at Brittany like she had three heads.
"Bunny and Cher? ...Bunny...Sonny…get it?" Brittany said turning red.
"Did someone give her sugar?" Tanya asked.
"Why does no one get it!" Brittany said frustrated.
'We get it, you're just weird" Jack said with a grin.
"Hpmh" Brittany huffed and put her head on the table.
"Anyways..." said Blink "What are you going to be Jack?"
"Um...I think I might go as a Cowboy" he said.
"Figures" Blink said and went back to eating his pasta.
"And is Tanya going to match?" Danielle asked.
"Nah, I'm going as a 1920's Gangster" she replied.
"That doesn't match" Brittany said.
"I know, but he didn't want to be a Gangster, and I didn't want to be a saloon girl"
"Well you guys suck" laughed Jacquie.
"Well, tell him he should be a Gangster" Tanya said turning to Jack with the puppy dog face.
"Tell her to be a saloon girl" Jack laughed.
"But you're a cowboy every year! Crutchy told me so!"
"So?"
Tanya gave him a look of begging "...oh fine"
"YAY! Thank you" she said, hugging him.
"No problem"
Spot gagged from the other side of the table.
"Oh Spot" said Jack, pissed.
"Your just doing anything anyone tells you these days, aren't ya Jackie Boy?" Spot sneered.
"And you've become a real asshole"
"Whoa! Chill out boys" said Danielle, trying to keep the peace.
"No, it's alright Danielle" said Spot.
"Yeah, it's cool" said Jack, still glaring at Spot.
"Ok, good" said Danielle.
"So..." said Specs, making a hasty subject change "Where are we going tomorrow night exactly?"
"I was thinking Salem" said Tanya.
"O0o spooky" said Kara.
"Wanna do it" she asked them all.
"Whatever." said Spot, who then got up from the table, knocking his chair down as he left the cafeteria.
"He's been pissy about us being friends" said Blink, annoyed.
"Well that's dumb" said Jacquie.
"Yeah, well Spot is dumb"
"Spot has been a lot more than dumb lately" stated Jack.
"What's that mean?" asked Danielle.
"Meaning he has been one of the biggest pricks on the planet"
"Yeah" agreed Brittany.
"Whatever, he isn't going to ruin my Halloween" said Katie.
"Yeah, mine neither" said Blink.
The rest of the day slipped by and the girls had planned to sleep over Brittany's that night to have a little Halloween séance.
"I don't have candles" Brittany said.
"Erm...neither do we" said Kara.
"Hey Blink" Brittany caught up with him after school.
"Hey, what's shaking?" he said as he walked her to her car.
"You got candles?"
"Not as many as Mush, but yeah a few, why?"
"Can I borrow them?"
"Erm...sure. Want me to drop them off at your house or what"
"Yeah, later if you want to" said Brittany "and grab Mush's too"
Later that night, the girls had set up what they need to at Brittany's. All they needed were the candles.
"When is he going to get here" asked Tanya, stubbornly.
"Soon, I hope" Jacquie said, looking at her watch.
"It's like, 10 already"
"I'll give him a call" said Brittany, reaching for the phone.
Then there was a beep out front.
"That must be them" Brittany exclaimed, practically jumping up and running for the front door.
She opened the door and there was Blink, Mush, and Jack.
"Hey guys, got the goods" said Brittany.
"Hey boys did you hear that, we are goods" Mush said with a goofy grin.
"So what exactly are you guys doing" Blink asked as they walked into the living room to see the other girls and a large Ouija board.
"We're doing Ouija" Brittany said "wanna join?"
The three boys looked at each other.
"I don't know" said Jack "kind of freaked out by these things"
"Oh come on, it's not that bad" said Katie.
"Well I think its bull" said Mush.
"Well you can't be here if you think its bull" said Danielle, seriously.
"Fine then" said Mush "I believe in it" he said sitting next to Kara.
"Alright so who's going on the board" Brittany asked, sitting next to Katie.
"Well, let's do you, me, and Katie" Tanya said" that usually works well"
The three girls said around the Ouija board and put their hands on the planchlett.
"Ok" said Brittany "we ready?"
The girls simply nodded. The room had gotten drastically colder. "It's chilly in here" Tanya said, slightly shivering.
"Good sign" said Brittany "let's begin"
The planchlett moved to different letters and Brittany spelled it out loud.
"N-O-T-I-C-E" she thought for a second "No Tice? What's No Tice?"
"Erm...Britt...I think the Spirit means "Notice" Katie said with a small laugh.
"Oh I know that" Brittany said, getting red "I was testing ya'll"
"But what are we noticing?" Tanya asked.
"I don't know it's still spelling"
Just then Mush screamed, causing everyone to scream, and for the three girl's hands to fly off the planchlett.
"What?" yelled Kara.
"Nothing, I just thought I'd liven the place up a bit" he said, and then keeled over with laughter.
"Asshole! We didn't shut the portal!" yelled Brittany.
Tanya quickly swiped the planchlett over the "Good-bye" at the bottom, but knew it wouldn't help now.
"So what"
A crash came from Brittany's room.
"What was that?" asked Blink.
Brittany ran to her room and whipped open the door.
"Simon!" she yelled.
"Who?" Jack asked no one in particular.
"Her rat" mumbled Katie.
Tanya and Katie went into Brittany's room. "OH MY GOD!" everyone heard Tanya scream. Everyone else ran in and looked. Simon was spinning from the ceiling fan by his tail, with a small note tied to his paw.
"SIMON!" Brittany ran up and stopped the fan. Jack, being the tallest, untied his tail and brought him down to safety.
"Thank you Jack" said Tanya, frightened.
"No problem" he said as he untied the small note from Simon's paw.
"What's it say" asked Tanya, a little worried.
"Um Brittany, you better look at this" said Jack, handing the note to her.
"Oh shit" she mouthed.
"What..." said Danielle, getting scared.
"Listen" said Brittany. The kids crowded over her shoulder. "Stay in the fucking house"
"What the hell? If this is some kind of joke it is REALLY not funny" said Kara.
"Yeah, since it was my rat"
"What are we going to do" asked Laura.
"Um...not leave the house" said Mush frightened.
"This is fucked up" said Jacquie. They all exchanged worried glances.
"This has to be a joke, right?" asked Blink.
"I really hope so" replied Katie.
"Let's just go sit out here" said Kara.
So they piled back into the living room. Katie put the game away and Brittany paced back and forth.
"Sit down your getting me nervous" said Laura, following her with her eyes.
"I don't understand how Simon got tied to the fan..." she said in deep thought.
"What do you mean?" asked Blink "it was a ghost"
"I don't know what it was" she said. Just then something banged in her room again.
"What the fuck" said Brittany, a little aggravated.
"I am NOT going in there" Tanya and Blink said at the same time.
"Fine I will" said Mush. He walked into the room by himself. Everyone held their breath.
"What the hell!"
"What is it?" Danielle yelled from under the blanket on the couch where she was hiding.
"Come see" Mush said aggravated.
The kids, with Jack and Blink leading the way, slowly walked toward Brittany's room.
"Mush, where are you" asked Kara into the darkness.
"By the window" he said, sounding ready to kill someone.
"What are we looking…what the fuck" said Jack angrily.
"SPOT YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE" Danielle yelled.
Spot was tangled in a dogs leash under the window.
"I'm going to KILL YOU" Brittany said, squeezing through her window.
Blink grabbed her waist and held her.
"LET ME GO I'M GOING TO MURDER HIM" She screeched as she tried to wriggle free of his grasp.
"Don't fall" said Blink, laughing.
"You think this is FUNNY?" Brittany said, coming back inside and turning on Blink. "He could have KILLED SIMON!"
"No, you're just really cute when your angry" he laughed.
She stared at him for a moment, huffed, and stormed out of the room.
"What's her problem" Blink said and then jogged off.
The rest of the kids stood there for a few minutes until they heard yelling outside. "GET OFF OF ME YOU CRAZY BITCH!"
"You never EVER touch anything that is mine you piece of shit!"
"It was a fucking joke! Your dumb rat is fine!"
"Yeah well you're not going to be in about five seconds"
"Bitch! I won't hesitate to knock you out!"
"Touch her and I'll knock you out"
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
"What are you talking about dude?'
"You heard me. If you lay a hand on her I'll kick your ass"
"Should we help?" asked Tanya.
"It's an idea" said Katie. So everyone went outside to see what was going on.
Blink was holding Spot by the collar and Brittany was wiggling her finger in his face.
"Oh no, she's doing the finger thing." Tanya whispered to Jack.
"What's the finger thing" Jack asked.
"When she wiggles her finger in your face, it's just not a good thing"
"Oh" said Jack "I'll remember that"
Spot had wriggled out of Blink's grasp. "Point your finger in my face again and I'll break it off"
"I'll break you dick off" said Blink.
"Holy shit we need to get those three apart" Kara said and herself, Tanya, Jack and Mush walked over to Spot, Blink and Brittany.
"Come on Britt, let's check on Simon" Kara said dragging her away.
"Oh no, he's not getting away THAT easy" Brittany said, trying to drag herself back, but with no such luck.
"Blink let's go um...over here" said Mush.
"YOU'RE ALL FUCKING SOFT!" Spot yelled.
"Yeah, well you're an ass!" yelled Danielle.
"It's like you got my boys under some kind of sick spell! I can see you for who you REALLY are" Spot hollered at Danielle.
"Maybe you should go home now Spot" said Jack.
"No I'm not going to listen to you whipped pussies anymore" said Spot angrily.
Everyone just kind of stared at him. "Yeah it's defiantly time for him to leave" agreed Kara.
"Wanna help?" she asked Laura as she grabbed Spot's wrist.
"GET OFF ME!" He yelled as everyone surrounded him. "THIS ISNT THE END" he screeched as the kids dragged him off to his car.
"Ya'll think you guys are still friends with me? Wait till I get home to my blog!"
"Good bye Spot" Jack said as he shoved him into his Hummer and slammed the door.
Spot mouthed a fuck you and gave them all the finger and then drove off.
"Is he like that all the time?" Katie asked no one in particular as they headed back for the house.
"No he's been worse lately" said Jack a little worried.
"Whatever." said Brittany, fists clenched "He'll get what's coming to him tomorrow".
