Edit: I still think just having "This chapter has been edited" at the top of each chapter is lame and boring… So now I'm gotta come up with some lame and boring thing to say for each chapter I edit. This was a MUCH better idea. :P
Yeah I'm sorta takin' a break from my other stories for my Halloween one… ^^;
Thanks so much for the reviews! Can't stop smilin' when I'm readin' 'em! :D
"Put the puzzle back together, see what I'm dreami-i-ing, when I find the—"
"Siddeley?"
Siddeley stopped singing and dropped his bar of soap in surprise with an expression of horror on his face.
Becaa?! What?! Why is she here?! Siddeley screamed in his mind.
Siddeley shut off the secret/hidden, whatever you want to call it, shower on the jet.
"Siddeley?" Becca called again, peeking into the cockpit. When he wasn't there, she turned around to see none other than who she was looking for.
"Oh, there you are!" she gasped in surprise. "Well, you came out of nowhere…" She laughed.
"Yeah, that's… I do that sometimes." Siddeley laughed nervously.
"I-I thought I heard singing—wait, why's your hair wet?"
"I, uh… Plumbing problems?" He suggested. Becca giggled. "And, uh, I stole Stacy's iPod. You know, she's got some weird songs on there, she must've had it on a timer or something and it went off."
"Huh. I wonder what artist that was, it sounded pretty good." Becca shrugged. "Well, anyway, speaking of Stacy, she said you might need some cheering up. So, I thought I'd stop by." She smiled.
"Oh, well, thanks." Siddeley nervously smiled back, still a bit upset he didn't just tell her that he had been singing. She thought it sounded good?
"So, what's the matter, anyway?" Becca asked.
"Nothing, just had an argument with Finn." Siddeley sighed, sitting down.
Becca sat down next to him. "That happen often?"
"No." He admitted. "And we both said things we shouldn't have… And in front of Stacy, too. That's the bad part of having a life-long friend that knows pretty much everything about you. You know how to hurt each other and cut deep…
"Anyway," Siddeley said, trying to change the subject.
"What started it, anyway?" Becca asked out of curiosity. "I-I don't mean to pry."
"Nothing. Just some rubbish "hallucination" and "paranoia," as Finn calls it."
"Come on, Sid, I wanna know."
Siddeley looked around, then back at Becca. "Finn'll probably yell at me again. I really don't wanna re-live that conversation."
Becca sighed. "it's all right, I understand."
Suddenly a song started playing from Siddeley's pocket.
"Um, what is that?" Becca asked. Siddeley chuckled nervously again.
"That's uh…" Insert another nervous chuckle. "M-my phone…" He said, taking it out of his pocket.
"Your ringtone is—?"
"Hello?" Siddeley asked, then listened. "Yeah." He sighed. "I'll be right over…" He obliged, then hung up the phone.
"Dude, why is your ringtone the Perry the Platypus theme song?" Becca asked with a raised eyebrow.
"…it sounds cool?" He suggested.
Becca smiled and put her head in her hand. "I'll see you later, I guess."
"You too." Siddeley told her, and they went their separate ways.
…
"Okay, so why am I here?" Siddeley asked.
"Finn and Holley are away on a mission. So…" Stacy grinned. "Fanfare!" she announced, flailing her arms. "Bonding time!"
"Joy…" Siddeley laughed. "So, what do you want to do?"
"Hm… Well, my car's at Ramone's getting repainted." She told him, pondering what they should do, then got excited. "He's gonna paint these cool magenta-y stripes over the purple!" she grinned.
"Uh huh…" Siddeley said, trying not to think about what her purple Impala would look like driving down the road. It wasn't even a sports car. "Anyway… Hey, what about the forest?"
"The forest?" Stacy repeated. "Forest's don't really work for me… Not after you crashed the jet into one, remember?" she reminded him dryly.
"We were being shot at by Lemons." Siddeley replied in the same tone of voice. "Anyway, how 'bout it?"
Stacy shrugged. "All right, but if we get lost and don't get back before sundown…" She threatened.
"Yeah, yeah, like we're people who get lost."
…
"I have absolutely no idea where we are."
"I told you!" Stacy pouted. "No compass?"
"Even if we had one, dunno which direction we came from." Siddeley replied.
"Dude, the sun is setting."
"I can see that." Siddeley replied.
"We're gonna die out here."
"Yup."
Stacy sighed and sat down on a fallen over tree.
Siddeley sighed too but cut his short, and ended it with quickly sucking in his breath back in when he heard a noise behind him.
"It's just a squirrel." Stacy told him, looking very annoyed with him.
"I thought I saw… Never mind." Siddeley sat down next to her.
Siddeley's "cool" ringtone broke the silence that followed.
"What is that." Stacy asked, clearly confused.
"My phone…" Siddeley answered.
His ringtone continued.
"You had… Your phone… This whole time." Stacy confirmed.
"Yeah…?" Siddeley replied nervously, then cleared his throat. He picked up his phone, turning off the strange song.
"Hello? Oh, you know, just… Lost in the woods… No idea. Well, it's dark anyway, how would we know? Yes, we. Stacy's with me. Yeah… Finn isn't gonna be happy when you guys come back… Nope. Yeah, we're idiots."
"Hey!" Stacy exclaimed. "Who are you talking to, anyway?" She demanded.
"Yeah, well we—hello? Hel—oh you're bloody kidding me." Siddeley grumbled.
"What?"
"My battery just died." He groaned, slipping his phone back into his pocket.
Stacy echoed him and groaned in frustration. She plopped back down onto the fallen tree.
Something whooshed behind her and she gasped, quickly sucking in her breath as Sid had done.
"Siddeley?"
"Yeah?"
"D-did you hear that?"
Don't worry, I'm updating this story often. Gotta finish by Halloween! :D
