Orlando will blow up the earth: 99

Accusation Mistaken

It was black, completely black. Jay thought he had died. He opened his heavy eyelids and a blurry image greeted it. Jay blinked. A teenager was bending over him. Another blink cleared his vision and saw Orlando smiling at him.

"Nice seeing you out there," He grinned and helped Jay sit up. He rubbed his eyes and looked to his right. Herry was lying there, his eyes still closed.

"He'll be alright," Orlando said quietly.

Jay looked at Orlando. He suddenly had his back to him and was walking to a fridge. "Orange juice?" He held up a jug.

"Thanks," Jay accepted gratefully. Orlando poured out a cup and gave it to Jay.

"I hope you like homemade orange juice because I always make my juices by hand," Orlando said.

Jay regarded Orlando nervously. After landing right underneath Orlando's window and having him discover they were watching him, he didn't expect this kindness.

"So, what were you doing below my window?" Orlando asked curiously. Jay hesitated, wondering if he should lie. A sudden movement caught his attention. Herry sat up and asked thickly.

"Where am I?"

"You're in my room," Orlando explained. "I found you guys unconscious near my window and I brought you in here." He reached for the orange juice. "Thirsty?"

"Yeah, a bit." Herry nodded. Orlando handed him a cup and repeated.

"What were you guys doing below my window? Were you stalking me or something?"

After glancing at Orlando's face, Jay decided to tell the truth. There was something in his face that told Jay it was ok to confess.

"Well, we were a bit wary about you so Herry and I decided to stalk you. I mean, you appeared out of nowhere and Atlanta fell in love with you-"

"Atlanta?" Orlando interrupted. "The redheaded girl who I bumped into yesterday?"

Herry nodded, draining his juice. "Yep, that's her. She's in love with you."

"Ok," Orlando said slowly. "But why's that weird?"

"Because Atlanta never fell in love with any guy," Jay half lied. It probably wasn't good to tell Orlando about Pan and his hypnotic music.

"I see," Orlando said quietly. He seemed to be thinking deeply and didn't notice anything until Herry coughed loudly. "Oh, sorry," He apologized. "I was just having flashback."

Jay nodded. "I have a question too," He said. "Who were you talking to on the phone?"

To Jay and Herry's surprise, Orlando laughed. "Oh, that was my grandmother from Texas. She was lecturing me about winter colds. She's never laidback." He ended with a grimace.

"Too bad," Herry said sympathetically.

Orlando stretched his arms and yawned. "Well, I'm going to take a shower and head to bed tonight so I'll have to ask you guys to leave."

Jay and Herry nodded and got up, tossing their cups in the garbage. "Thanks for being truthful with us," Jay said.

Orlando glanced at Jay. He paused a bit. "No problem,"

"Bye," Jay grabbed Herry's arm and together, they left the room. Herry was about to walk down the hall but Jay halted him. "Not yet," He pressed his ear against the door, listened and then sighed.

"What was that for?" Herry asked.

"To see if Orlando was actually going to take a shower," Jay explained. "And he did, I heard water coming down."

Herry sighed. "And Archie's not going to like the results of this. We've found absolutely nothing negative about Orlando."

"I wonder how Archie and Neil are doing with Atlanta," Jay thought out loud.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

"Are you guys going to answer my question or not?" Atlanta walked around the two boys. She had them tied to chairs in Theresa's room. Theresa regarded them suspiciously as well.

"Well, we, uh, were just going to-to catch today's new…Quest movie." Archie thought up quickly.

Atlanta snatched the remote control, flicked on the TV and scrolled down the guide. "Guys, no Quest movie," She said.

"I needed to do my hair really badly," Neil lied.

"Without a comb?" Theresa asked.

Archie and Neil were now running out of ideas for excuses. "Can I ask you a question first?" Archie asked and shook his limbs. "Why did you tie us up with tooth floss?"

Theresa and Atlanta blushed. They couldn't find any pieces of rope long enough to tie the boys up so Atlanta thought of using tooth floss.

"Well, think of it this way," Atlanta pointed out. "Have you ever snapped tooth floss apart with your bare hands?"

"Of course not, I could break a nail!" Neil cried. Theresa stifled a laugh. Neil can be comical sometimes, she realized. Of course, he's still a goof, can't forget that…

Archie rolled his eyes at Neil's comment and sighed. "Hey Neil, I suppose it won't hurt if we tell the girls what we're up to-"

"What?" Neil jerked up frantically. Theresa and Atlanta looked surprise at Archie's words. They didn't think the two would give up that easily.

"Archie, we can't tell these-oh!" Neil nodded quickly but his face was screwed up in pain; Archie had squashed his foot.

"Ok, so what is it?" Atlanta asked eagerly, her eyes shining.

Archie sighed again. "Well, Neil and I, we…had to go to the bathroom." He finished.

Atlanta pulled back, surprised. Theresa was also surprised. Neil stared at Archie and opened his mouth to protest when Archie squashed his foot again.

"You two needed to go to the bathroom?" Atlanta raised her eyebrows.

Archie nodded. "We drank too much water during dinner," He explained.

"Ok, so then why didn't you just say so?" Theresa asked.

"Because it's not gentlemen like," Neil continued, catching on what Archie was trying to do. "You've never gone up to a guy before and said 'I need to go to the bathroom', have you?"

"Uh…" Atlanta and Theresa were racketing their brains of ever doing any of this. Archie and Neil were amazed that their excuse was working.

Atlanta looked up and shook her head. Theresa did the same.

"Ok, so now you know why we're running down the hall," Archie said. "Can you untie us now; the tooth floss is cutting into my wrists."

Theresa nodded. She got out a pair of scissors and snipped apart the floss. Archie and Neil got up and rubbed their wrists.

"Thanks, now if you'll excuse us, we've got better things to do, better places to go." Neil said.

"Yeah, like the bathroom!" Atlanta smirked and the girls laughed at this while the boys quickly left Theresa's room.

"Whew, that was close," Archie cried. "And Atlanta doesn't seem to be in any problem." He added quietly.

"Wow, you really are crazy for her!" Neil gasped. "All you think about is Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta," He whined. "You think about her too much. I bet your notebooks are full of her name in little pink hearts!"

Archie turned red and snarled. "At least I don't have my own name in my notebooks, surrounded with little red hearts!"

Neil rolled his eyes and looked around. "So…do you know where the restroom is again? I actually do have to go!"

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

I know, I know, this chapter sucks and it's boring but I swear the next one will be WAY better!
