Outgoth the Goth
Chapter 15 –Stranded in Crazytown
No One's POV
Jade and Wednesday went through the trapdoor, down a flight of stairs and into a cement tunnel that stretched both left and right. The tunnel was dark, damp and dimly lit with see numerous old cables running along the wall. Like upstairs there were more Tori mannequins. In the dim light they looked even creepier than the ones upstairs.
Pausing for a moment, Jade strained her ears and from her left heard a sound. "This way."
They followed the corridor which branched off at several points and had several rooms off it. All of the rooms were bare. Still they followed the sound, which became louder as they went proceeded.
Meanwhile Tori happened to wake up. The last thing she remembered was answering her door and finding 3 biker chicks there on her doorstep. Before she could do anything, one of them jammed a stun gun in her rib's. But now she was tied to table in large room.
The room itself had cement walls and had various pieces of electronic equipment about. But all of those were covered with dust. The place had a feeling of abandonment.
She saw two doors exiting the room. Looking up she could see ceiling was extremely high. Up above her Tori spotted several cat walks. Naturally she was quite scared and called out. "Help."
It was then she heard the shuffling of footsteps and a familiar voice could be heard. "Hello Tori, do you think I'd possibly forget you?"
Tori closed her eyes and hoped to god to wake up. "No I haven't…Ponnie."
Sadly when she opened her eyes again, not only was she still there, but the brown haired, glasses wearing Ponnie was standing right next to the table.
"First you get me kicked out of Hollywood Arts then you go and be a bad girl….such a bad girl. Actually you're downright EVIL."
Suppressing her fear, Tori did the best to look defiant. "What do you want?"
"What do I want?" Replied Ponnie, looking rather surprised at the obvious question, "What do I want. I want my life back. The one you stole. I've been watching you…watching you so very closely. You've been bad so very bad….Do you know that if you fry a cadbury cream egg, they smell….."
"Uhhh….No…."
"WELL THEY DO!"
"Ponnie, Fawn whatever you want to be called, please let me go. My dad is a cop, he'll help you."
Ponnie waived her finger in the air and began to pace back and forth in a very agitated manner. "NO..No…No…, First of all, I know your stealing my soul….I know that know….You stole my life and now….you want my soul….so evil are you…so evil…..I have protection now….see…"
Ponnie pulled up her shirt, to reveal a crudely drawn picture of what appeared to be Miss Piggy on her stomach. "See, Miss Piggy will protect me…."
Tori knew the girl was already extremely unstable but now, Ponnie was plain bonkers. What few marbles she had left, were now long gone. "Please…Listen to Miss Piggy, she'll tell you to let me go…."
"No…No…..She says no. I've been following your life…so evil are you….First you sleep with your boyfriend tommy on the roof of your apartment building…then he gets killed and then you sleep with Ryan who was the killer, I wanted to sleep with him…No fair….no…then you date this Pierson guy and go to the Coachella festival with him and your sister Maddie. All the while you're dating Wednesday. And how come you can't turn into a werewolf anymore…Jordan…or is it WREN…HMMMM…WHY!...ALL THIS IS BESIDES THE FACT THAT YOU'RE A MEMBER OF THE REBEL ALLIANCE AND A TRAITOR. YOU MUST BE STOPPED, FOR THE SAKE OF MANKIND!"
Tori, despite being scared stiff, had no idea what on earth Ponnie was ranting about. Though the last part she did recognize was from Star Wars. "I don't know any of these people. My name is not Jordan or Wren. My sister's name is Trina, not Maddie and I've never slept with anyone named Tommy, Ryan or Pierson. Nor am I fighting the Empire. You've gone totally insane."
"Liar, liar…pants on fire…I'm rubber you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you. I have the proof. The evidence of your evil deeds. As the hero, I have compiled it. Pictures right here I downloaded from the internet. Look." Ponnie gloated, as she held up her evidence.
After looking at them, Tori noted. "Well that first one, is a picture of me sleeping with some guy on a rooftop, but it's drawn in crayon. The same goes with me sleeping with this supposed killer. The third picture, supposedly of me, this Pierson fellow and someone named Maddie, is just me photoshopped into an old picture of Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour. I think it's a publicity still from 1942's, The Road to Morocco. The rest of the pictures are more crayon drawings, including the one of me destroying the death star."
Ponnie smiled. "See…Proof positive. I've been watching you…And Wednesday. 8 times your girl tried to bump off Jade and 8 times she failed. I feel so bad for her…Wednesday that is…She worked so hard planning an amusing death for Jade and SHE KEEPS SURIVIING…"
Figuring she was doomed anyway, Tori spat in Ponnies face. "You're fucking nuts."
Ponnie wiped the spit off her face and rolled out a tray of surgical instruments all lined up neatly. "No don't worry, soon my face will be your face. I'm going to remove your face then remove mine and switch faces. Then I'll be you….you the evil one who stole my life. You will be locked up…the only one who would talk to me there, is Crazy Steve and he left me for a Dora the Explorer coloring book. I burnt the book and destroyed his love. Now, all he has left is part of Dora's leg from page 7. And it was colored OUTSIDE, the lines."
Just as she was about to freak out, Tori looked up. Much to her surprise she spotted Jade and Wednesday watching from one of the catwalks above. Jade quickly smirked and gave her a thumbs up. Wednesday just seemed to be starring down at Ponnie.
Jade and Wednesday had followed the sound had arrived in the room a few minutes earlier. From their vantage point, they witnessed Ponnie's rather bizzare accusation.
"See what I'm talking about Wednesday, she's even more unhinged than the last time I ran into her."
Wednesday, who was looking down at Ponnie, didn't immediately respond, causing Jade to nudge her. "Hey….Earth to Wednesday."
Turning to Jade, Wednesday nodded. "I see your point. I think the stairs down there are this way. If we're quiet, we can catch her by surprise."
Jade picked up a short length of pipe that was lying nearby on the cat walk. "Now you're talking. You untie Tori and I'll dispose of our nutty friend."
"Fine, since you're on the offensive, you take the lead. "
Jade and Wednesday quietly crept across the catwalk and as they expected found a stairway heading down to the room where Tori was being held. Upon reaching the door leading into the room, Jade turned to Wednesday.
"Ok, on three, we burst in the room. You get Tori right away and I'll bash Ponnie's skull in."
Wednesday nodded in agreement and as soon as Jade's back was turned, picked a piece o wood, that happened to be on the floor.
Jade then slowly turned the doorknob. "Ok….1…2…"
As soon as Jade reached three, she burst through the door.
Tori smiled upon seeing Jade, with Wednesday right behind her burst into the room. Jade, with a look of murderous hatred, immediately began to charge at the rather startled Ponnie.
Jade however only got about 2 feet before Wednesday brought the board straight down on her head. Stunned, Jade fell face down on the floor.
"What was that?" Gasped rather, shocked looking Ponnie.
Tori just glared angrily at Wednesday as she dragged the unconscious Jade towards a pipe that ran from the floor to the ceiling.,
"I thought you were both rescuing me."
Ignoring Tori, Wednesday, looked up at Ponnie. "Do you have any rope? My cousin will wake soon and when she does, she's not going to be very happy."
Still somewhat confused, Ponnie nodded vigorously as she grabbed a length of rope from a nearby table. "Yes…Yes…of course, I have rope lots of rope."
"HEY, LEAVE JADE ALONE!" Shouted Tori.
Rope in hand Ponnie, ran over to Wednesday. As she handed Wednesday the rope their hands' briefly touched and for a moment they gazed deeply into each other's eyes.
"Ponnie, You're booby traps were wonderful. The exploding baby carriage, nearly took my head off. Your website showing the 100 ways that Tori should die, is brilliant. Do you believe in love at first sight, because I love you….." Wednesday gushed in an unusual display of emotion.
Ponnie grinned as she began to help Wednesday tie Jade to the pipe. "I felt so bad that your attempt to kill Jade failed. I literally sobbed when I heard your snake died. That's why I wanted Tori's face, so you would love me…I do believe in Love at first sight….I love you too."
A few seconds later, they finished tying Jade up, just as she started to come around.
"Wha…happened…."
It was Tori that answered. "Jade…Jade…Wednesday clubbed you and helped Ponnie tie you up."
Jade glared at her cousin who was now, holding Ponnie close. "What in the fuck! You rotten bitch! As soon as I get out of here, I'm going to kill you both!"
"Jade, I couldn't let you possibly harm one hair on this perfect creature's head. From the moment I saw her picture on her webpage, I just had to meet her, when I saw the mannequins upstairs, I literally fell in love. When I saw her in person, I had be with her forever."
"Wednesday, I'm breaking up with you. I only dated you to make Jade jealous anyway." Tori then turned to Jade. "I did make you jealous?"
Jade rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Not really the time Vega, but yes, you succeeded, beyond your wildest dreams. I got worried when you didn't show up at school and found you missing, Me and Tessio here, decided to look for you."
Tori instantly smiled. "I played hooky to see which of you would come looking for me which one really cares. I was so hoping you'd come first. But those biker chicks stunned me, before you could find me. You do really care about me, you really like me…."
Jade grunted in annoyance. "Yes..yes…yes…I'm admitting I really like you…Happy now!"
"She does Tori, she was so upset with those biker chicks, she blew up the whole gang in one shot. Just because they took you."
Tori looked to Jade with shock. "You blew up the entire gang, just because they took me."
Now looking embarrassed, Jade answered. "Yes…They hurt you…You don't have to worry about them anymore."
A tear came to Tori's eye. "You blew up an entire motorcycle gang just because they hurt me….that is so romantic."
Jade at first didn't know how to respond. "I was kind of worried that would upset you. I did destroy the building and everyone inside."
"No…it only proves that deep down I was right…you secretly love me as much as I love you….I've been never happier."
Jade let out a groan, "Well if we survive this, than feel free kiss me, but lest I remind you…we're both tied up.
Ponnie looked to Wednesday. "Let's blow them up and then get married. I have the whole place wired to explode."
"You're brilliant, crazy and beautiful. I'd love to. Let's kill Jade and Tori then get married."
Tori's Jaw dropped. "We date for three weeks and you just decide to blow me up."
Wednesday shrugged. "I kind of dated you to get back at my mother, I knew she would never approve of me dating someone so…good."
Tori then realized something, "Wait…that stuff about trying to kill Jade…that was true?"
Wednesday frowned. "Yes, that part was true….She liked you and annoyed me. So I tried to liquidate her. But little did I realize, she was my cousin and thus much harder to kill than I thought."
Tori''s jaw fell open. "My god. Cousin? Jade, you're her cousin?"
"My mom and her mom are sister's. They pretty much despise each other and haven't spoken in years. Oh and to just be open…I now know my mom is totally psychotic and eliminates people she thinks are bad. She's been putting poison in my food for years to increase my resistance to it. Still want to date me….because, I'll bet even Sinjin's looking real good about now." Jade said with a darkly humorous laugh that turned into a rather forlorn sigh. Jade then just lowered her head.
Wednesday and Ponnie looked to Tori who looked rather speechless. They then kissed and Ponnie pulled from her pocket a little box with a button.
"You may do the honors, Wednesday my love. It has a 15 minute time delay. Than boom!"
Wednesday took the box and pressed the button. "Jade please do me a favor and actually die this time. Goodbye Tori."
That said, Ponnie looked to Wednesday, "This is the part where after setting up their certain doom, we just leave and don't make sure they can't escape. They won't of course, but we do have to leave. It's in the rules."
Wednesday took Ponnie's hand and nodded. "You are quite correct. Come on future wife, let's get married."
The pair, hand in hand, left the room and shut the door behind them.
After a few moments of silence, Jade without lifting her head, said softly. To Tori, Jade sounded rather depressed. "It's my fault. I made you date her….I got you into this….now my cousin whom I stupidly trusted and her new girlfriend have left us to die. I'm sorry Tori….I really am…."
From several feet away, Tori looked to Jade and said. "Jade?"
"Yes." Again Tori could tell Jade was now deeply depressed.
"I love you…I always have…."
"How could you…even before this…now you know, I have a crazy family and that's on top of the fact, I blew up a bar full of drug dealing biker chicks. How could you ever love me…."
"Jade you did it because you love me…It is a bit extreme and maybe I'm just in shock right now…but I love you. You're beautiful, sexy and smart. I'm never bored with you. It's always an adventure. I don't care about your family….I care about you….I really do…."
Jade looked up and Tori could see she was now crying. "I'm sorry I couldn't have admitted it, but deep down I think I loved you too all along. I was just too stubborn to admit it. I love you too."
Tori smiled, in fact she positively beamed. "You see that didn't hurt at all…you said you loved me and the world didn't end. Now we can live happily ever after."
Jade returned the smile. "No it didn't and it's a very nice thought, but we still have one small problem."
Tori's eyes opened wide. "Oh yeah…were both tied up in the basement of a building, wired to explode."
"Not to mention, Joker and Penguin are not only getting away, but running off and getting married to boot. I don't know about you Vega, but how about we bust out of here and ruin their matrimonial plans."
"Sounds good to me Jade, do you have any ideas?"
Jade briefly struggled against the rope tying her to the pipe, to no avail. "None what so ever. Do you?"
Tori then futilely struggled against the bonds tying her to the table, "No. Sorry."
Jade laughed darkly, "Well, At least our first date will end with a bang."
Happily Tori and Jade have admitted their true feelings of love and devotion to each other. Tori is even willing to overlook certain shortcomings of Jade's family. But sadly, in less than 15 minutes, they're both going to be blown up.
So how will the dynamic duo..err I mean, Tori and Jade escape this deadly trap?
