Chapter 369.
In collaboration with avenger44.
(October 25. Warwick mansion.)
Gretchen Warwick, the former member of Leslie's group of rich mean friends is coming down the stairs with the gift she wrapped by herself. "Chadwick, I'm off to the Gurdle house, be right back."
"Yes, Ms. Warwick." The butler and the other staff of the mansion are happy to see the former rich and mean girl to be someone else, someone kind and changing to be a better person and they hope she can stay like this and won't be mean to them. They lost five members who all quitted.
Gretchen then walks out of her mansion and she makes sure the gift is fine. "I cannot let this thing break." She then turns around and sees Leslie, Karen, Regina, Chastity and Hope. "Oh, hi girls. Anything wrong?"
"Anything wrong? Hmm, girls what is it that is wrong right now?" asked Regina.
"Hmm, I don't know. Hey Leslie, what seems to be the problem here?" asked Karen. But she sees Leslie is in no mood to talk. "Okay then, Hope what do you think is the problem here." Hope is also silent and looks to Gretchen.
"Well, you girls wanna know what I think?" said Chastity. "I think the problem here is the fact you're having fun and hanging out with those dorks from Jordan's side!"
"What the heck was with all of this fun stuff about?" asked Regina. "Why the heck are you continuing to hang out with them and less with us?!"
"We are a team, a group and all of us are members of the rich society club" said Karen. "Being with those commoners is like getting some kind of disease and I'm too mad to think of one right now!"
"You sided with them, you sided with the enemy of our leader and the friends of that enemy. Do you have anything to say for yourself?!" asked Chastity.
Gretchen is unamused by this and also not intimidated by them. "You girls done nagging?" They all didn't like what she said to them. "Good, now if you'll excuse me I have a friends party to go to and for the record they're not commoners, they're just kind kids who wanna make me feel comfortable living in this town, whose peace has been disturbed by us."
Gretchen then looks to Leslie. "You got something to say to me Silver?"
Leslie walks to Gretchen and whispers to her ear. "I don't want you to live in this neighborhood anymore. I want you to move, and never come back. You backstabbing traitor."
Gretchen looks to Leslie with a scornful gaze. "Never really wanted to be in this crud neighborhood, I was planning to move somewhere, somewhere that's better and where I am treated as an equal and can show change and where people accept those who wanna do better for the world and everyone around them."
Gretchen then goes into her limo and she drives off to where Zach Gurdle's birthday is being held.
Leslie and the others can only watch as one of their own has left the group, possibly for good. "So, what the heck do we do now?" asked Hope. "We just lost Gretchen and chances she'll bail out of the rich society club."
"Good. She was never our friend from the start!" said Regina. She then wipes her tears. "She's nothing more than a double crossing traitor who only cares about those idiots and not her real friends! Like when mom said I was gonna get a pony!"
"You think you had it worse?" said Karen in anger. "I waited outside for my puppy and nothing came!"
"Girls please calm down, I know you two are ticked off after you're little night time wait for nothing" replied Chastity. "What worries me, you think Leslie will wear her old appearances from before we met her?"
"If she does, then her four eyes are gonna get a beat down of a life time!" said Karen. Four eyes? Does that mean Gretchen once wore glasses?
Leslie on the other hand is silent, she has never thought one of her friends would do this. Leave the group and join another and that group has Lincoln and Jordan. The boy she's in love with and the girl she defies.
Leslie is filled with anger for Gretchen for siding with Jordan and her friends, and she's filled with sadness, because she lost one of her friends and she fears that one of the others could be next and she won't let that happen.
Also, Leslie has some bags under her eyes and her hair is almost a mess. Why? Try waiting all night with non-cold resistance clothes for some white haired boy to come and sweep her away, she realized it was a prank when she saw the dropship fly by her and had Lincoln and Jordan with their friends inside. That was when she knew, it was a Prank Call.
Leslie sighs. "Come on girls, we don't need Gretchen. We can still be strong, with or without her!" Leslie heads back to her mansion and so do the others.
Hope on the other hand looks to the road where Gretchen had drove off. Hope sighs. 'Have fun Gretch, I hope your happy with the new friends you have. Sure as heck I'm gonna miss you.' She then goes back into her mansion.
(Tall Timber Park.)
The park has been setup with a grand alien theme for the 13th birthday of one of Lincoln's friend, Zach Gurdle. Luna, Jordan and Lincoln were the ones who helped, along with Zach's parents, Curtis and Jean and the whole place looks wicked awesome.
Everything is alien themed, or space themed. From Star Wars themed table cloths, Green alien head balloons, a cake the shape of the Death Star and Jordan brought with her the Ultralisk from underneath her house, which was something given to them from the Royal Defenders from "Spells and Louds." The large Zerg monster will act as another form of entertainment, alongside Lincoln's sister Luan.
Lynn Sr and his staff are there and are providing the food needed for the place, the food is not too spicy and Zach does not want anything tuna related, he's had enough of that even for lunch at school. All the food has the looks of alien shapes and images and some of them look odd, but they're just pastries meant to look like some weird looking food from another planet.
And for added measure, the Gladius Battlecruiser is above the place as security. Just in case.
They all stand back and look at the work that has been done. "Yup, this is exactly how I recalled my 13th birthday party, which no one showed up" replied Curtis Gurdle.
"This is about our son, becoming 13 and having the time of his life, also are Luan and Giggles coming as the entertainment?" asked Jean Gurdle.
"They are, and they made sure the theme of the entertainment will make everything worthwhile for Zach, and they said Benny is gonna be part of it. Not gonna be much of a full house comedy routine unless you got all 3 alien clowns. I don't know if that's even a thing" replied Lincoln. He then sees the eagles flying above. "And that means the guests are here."
The time is now 10 and they see all of the cars have arrived and tons of guests are here, as well as Ronnie Anne, Sid and the skate boarders club.
"Wow. A lot of guests." Jordan then sees something. "And our new gal pal."
They all see the limo has arrived and coming out is none other than Gretchen Warwick.
"Huh, didn't know Gretchen had her own limousine, how come she never uses that to get to school and why does she always take Leslie's limo?" said Luna.
Gretchen and the others go towards them and they all greet Zach a happy birthday. "Thanks guys, I know you all don't seem to be fans of aliens much, but what matters is that we all have fun and we also have some special stuff here for all of you to have fun with and why is Lisa here?"
They all see Lisa is there, she was escorted by Leni who is also there and Leni is dressed as Princess Padme Amidala, "She wanted to come along as well. This is a costume party too right?"
"The heck it is, welcome to the party guys" replied Zach. He's dressed like a victim from the movie Alien vs Predator, Zach has a fake alien beast coming out of his head and chest.
Everyone is wearing an alien or space themed costume. Luna is Bobba Fett, Sam is a clone trooper, Chloe is Rey and Clyde is Finn, Simon is Han Solo, Stella is Princess Leia, Lincoln is James Raynor (Not in the suit), Jordan is Sarah Kerrigan (Ghost operative not swarm), Rusty and Polly chose to combo their costume so the two of them are a two headed crab alien and Liam and Tabby are an alien rockstar and an alien farmer.
Everyone is else is a random alien and space themed costume. Heck, Richie and Flat Tire are Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong. Peter Harris is the Predator, Lisa is BB-8 and Sadie and Mollie are CP-30 and R2-D2, okay why though?
Artie, Lance and Trent wanted to try something and what they tried is super weird. They are in one big costume and are this three headed chicken alien, wait isn't that from a cartoon?
Gretchen took the time to change in the limo, and she chose to be…. Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars the Clone Wars? Wow!
Zach smiles seeing them all. "Nice costume guys, this is gonna be one party we'll be talking about for the whole month, or week. So, let's have some laughs and freak out!" They all cheer and greet him Happy Birthday.
They all get to the party and enjoy what it has to offer. They then see the entertainment has begun and the entertainment is Giggles, Luan and Benny as space aliens, and this time they pull out all the funny to make this birthday party great.
Ronnie Anne and her friends go over to Lincoln and the others and they chose some nice costumes for the party. Ronnie Anne and Sid are Gamora and Nebula from Guardians of the Galaxy, Nikki is Groot for some reason, Sameer is Drax and Casey chose Yondu. Laird however is a battledroid.
"Dude, this party is awesome and you brought that big thing again" said Ronnie Anne. "And Sid is riding it." They all see Sid Chang riding the large Zerg monster.
They then continue to watch the space themed comedy routine and it sure is funny and Luna and Sam provide the theme music.
Jordan and Lincoln look to see Gretchen laughing alongside Joy and Kat, they were happy she was enjoying herself and she let the limo driver also be part of this party, he just put on a green alien mask.
Soon, they all get to the games: Tossing U.F.O hoops into bottles that look like farms, what is this an abduction thing, laser tag with weapons that look like from Star Wars and Ronnie Anne and Sid go commando on everyone and so does Lincoln and Jordan.
Some of them assemble some Legos into Star Wars things. Lincoln and Lisa make the Deathstar, Zach and Giggles make Star Killer Base, Simon and Stella make Storm Trooper Blasters, but they are shocked at what Lance made, how did he make a human sized Optimus Prime out of Legos so fast! Someone take a picture and post this!
They watch Zach break the piñata that looks like Star Killer base, then Peter Harris comes in with a piñata the shape of Snoke's stupid head and Zach destroys it with ease. Ha! Weak Piñata.
They throw darts that are colorful Predator heads and the target has the image of the Alien.
They all decide to watch the movie, Alien Covenant and it is scary, but to Lisa is shows logic and science she could try and figure out.
They all get a ride on the mighty Ultralisk and even get to see it tunnel underground. Why the heck did Sid join the creature down there?! Someone get her out of the dirt!
Soon, they all enjoy the food being served there and even though it's not spicy food for Polly, she's cool with is. Zach is the one who slices the cake and he hands so many slices of the cake to everyone. The cake is a Pistachio cake with chocolate chips inside.
"Well, this sure is one heck of an alien themed party, and so glad this is not the Halloween costume I intend to wear" replied Lincoln.
"Same, we got ourselves one heck of a Halloween costume party to attend and we are so goin to have some freaking fun!" said Jordan. "So, we gonna be part of the Haunted Maze next year?"
Luna goes over and she removes her helmet. "Chances we will be, we may never know. Its mom and dad's choice to make that happen and we have to see it pops is still freaked out about Halloween. He seemed very skittish about the move earlier."
"What matters is that we all have fun and enjoy ourselves, speaking of which Luna. Are you going to the high school this year for the Halloween party?" asked Lincoln.
"Sure as heck little bro, Sam and I are gonna participate in making the music sound all the more spooky and chilling" replied Luna. "We might even see who wins the costume competition, and I know you dudes have the same kind of thing at the middle school."
Pretty much, the thing is that no one knows what the prize is and neither does Jenny" replied Jordan. "But whatever it is, we know it'll be worth it!"
They then back off as Sid with a blindfold walks by and has a swirly tail with a pin on it and Nikki is chasing her with the board of the alien. "Sid! This way! You have to pin this, not that way!"
"Sid, get back here!" Ronnie Anne also goes after her.
"Well, let's hope she doesn't hurt anyone with that tail" replied Lincoln.
Luna then gets an idea. 'Maybe tomorrow we should have a double date hang out. Me, Lincoln, Sam and Jordan. We can have an awesome hang out time, and right before Halloween hits.'
They then hear someone screaming, it was Lynn Sr. "Oops! Sorry Mr. Loud" said Sid. "At least you got a tail since you don't have a costume."
"Well, looks like dad got the point of this party, he better be ready to tail this one to the others when we get home" replied Luan and then she laughs, and so does Lincoln, Luna and Jordan.
Luna sees someone happy, Gretchen Warwick is talking to Joy, Kat, Christina, Sadie, Mollie, Cookie and Jenny and they share some fashion tips and Gretchen does the same and she did promise that they will go to Gryphon's shopping one day, all of them.
Luna smiles and thinks. 'If Gretchen Warwick can be turned into a good person and away from Leslie Silver and her posse, can one of them also change? Sure enough those three mean ones can't change and Leslie is a bitch! What about Hope though?' Luna can only wait and watch, she believes one other rich girl can be changed into someone better.
Jordan then nudges Lincoln. "Looks like romance is in the air for our clowning alien friend."
All of them continue with the fun, games and food. Zach then talks to Giggles and she kisses him on the cheek, which then Zach responds by kissing her on the lips.
Lincoln smirks. "One could only tell what they're future holds, and I do wonder what they're truly is. Huh, you know maybe the costume of Zeratul was better than this." Luna and Jordan chuckle and they go over and interact with the other friends.
Then the kids and people cheer as some Viking aircraft fly by and launch their missiles into the air and they blow up like fireworks, now that is one spectacular party show.
While everyone is happy with the party, Leslie and her friends watch all of them have fun. "That party is so lame, aliens are lame and that big thing they have is lame too!" said Regina.
"That thing is kinda scary, almost as scary as the robot dinosaur from Lincoln's birthday party" replied Hope. "What the heck is that thing anyway?"
"Who cares? It's a freak and we do not interact with freaks" said Karen. "Leslie, let's get out of here, the noise from the party is making my ears bleed."
"We know that's not true Karen, but she has a point this party sucks" replied Chastity.
Leslie looks to the birthday party in anger and she sighs. "Driver, get us out of here and to the Royal Woods Mall, now!" They drive off and start talking about what to do for their next scheme.
Leslie already has one in her mind. 'Tomorrow, wherever Lincoln goes then I will follow, I will not leave him alone till he notices me and no one, not even the loud sisters are getting in my way! Lincoln will be mine.'
As they drive the limo driver is busy checking his rear view mirror, he fails to see the red light and a Guardian Tank runs over the hood of the limo and drives off.
"Oh come on! Seriously?!" yelled all five girls.
To be continued…..
A/N: Thanks again to avenhger44 for this idea, though I had to make some changes because Zach still likes alien and space related stuff just as he likes clowning. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
