Chapter 24: The day of the dance! The dawning of the dead!

It was Friday afternoon, that meant that the dance was coming up tonight. For Autumn this was going to be one of the worst nights of her life. Autumn skated home as fast as she could. She was a member of the Drama Department, and the meeting had run very late today. They were supposed to have been dismissed over two hours ago! It was 5 when they were finally dismissed which meant that her and everyone else had one hour before the dance started. Unfortunately for her and luckily for everyone else, they had enough sense to bring their costumes with them to school that day, so they didn't have to go home and change before they came back one hour later for the dance. Instead they were helping set up for the band and the DJ.

Autumn surfaced from the tunnels in the forest across from her new house. She had been living there for about a week now, and she was thinking about actually moving in. Her stuff was still all over the place, and she was living in one of the guest rooms instead of one of the main rooms. She still hadn't completely explored the mansion or the yard which surrounded it. In her eyes it was pointless unless she was actually going to move in. Apparently the bills were being paid off somewhere else, because there was absolutely no mail what so ever, and no records of any kind in the house. At least that's what she had been told. She didn't explore the whole house, but May and Naruto did. They said that it was basically empty. Autumn walked into the house panting, she was in a big hurry, she still had to get there early because Daniel wanted to practice before they went on tonight. Ignoring the ninja sitting in her living room, she hurried up the stairs and prepared her self.

Autumn looked sadly at her costume laying on the bed. She had decided that she wanted to go as a ninja because that was basically the only thing that she could think of with all of the real ninja flying around in her life. She hadn't told anyone in the house about the dance, even though she was pretty sure that May had blabbed about it anyway. Because she didn't want to raise any suspicions she couldn't change until she got to the dance. She had planned to enter the costume competition, but her costume wasn't all that fancy in the first place. Originally she had found an old store downtown that sold kimonos, and she bought one. It was plain dark green,or emerald. It had no real design,and she had gotten a chance to choose the color of the obi. The obi she had chosen was brown, very plain, but it might help if she needed to hide herself. She had cut the kimono so that it stopped a few inches above her knees, but had left it so that it had a train in the back. She was planning on wearing jeans with it because it was so short, and she was going to wear a pair of shinobi sandals she had gotten off of eBay.

Autumn folded her costume and put it in a bag, then she rushed down stairs and out the door. As she flew through the living room Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and Yamato seemed to already gain suspicions, because right after she left they sent Sai to follow her, without her knowing.

Autumn took the tunnels to school, just in case someone was really following her, they would never know where she went. Skating through the darkness, she hurried in the direction of the school building. She still had to perform three songs with Daniel, before the DJ came, and she was already late for the rehearsal! Autumn stopped, she could see the opening of the tunnel that led to the school's field.

"Finally," she muttered, today was so not her day. She surfaced and ran toward the school, she was so going to get it when Daniel saw her. Suddenly she felt something grab her ankle.

"Ow!" Autumn whined as she fell face forward into the dirt. Whatever grabbed her ankle was tieing her ankles together, not very gently. Autumn tried to use her arms to push herself up, but as soon as she moved, they were being tied up too.

"What the-!quot; something was shoved into her mouth gagging her. Whatever it was, it tasted strangely like ink. That's when it hit her.. Sai. Autumn heard him go though her things, so she emitted a burst of chakra that disintegrated her binds, and she turned and drop kicked him.

"What the hell do you want Sai?" she asked, getting up.

"I was sent to check up on you," he replied fake smiling. Autumn snatched her things back from him.

"Well as you see, I'm fine,"Autumn dusted herself off and walked away. Completely ignoring the fact that he was staring a hole through her back.

Autumn walked into the building through the back. It wasn't 6 yet, which meant that everyone else had to wait outside. The sun was stating to go down, when Autumn finally made it to the gym.

"WHERE WERE YOU!" Daniel yelled as soon as she opened the door. Autumn just blinked,

"Who? Me?"

"YES YOU! WE HAVE 15 MINUTES!" Autumn checked her watch and ran out of the gym.

"Sorry Daniel, but I still have to change!"

Autumn changed into her outfit, and put her stuff in the coat room.

"Oh hey Fall, I thought you were going to be trick-or-treating this year!" Autumn turned around and saw her old friend Lizzie.

"Lizzie! I haven't seen you in soo long! What are you doing here I thought you transferred!"

"Calm down, I did transfer, and I'm here to check out the band!" Autumn smiled. Lizzie had always been the optimistic one in her group of friends, she never saw the bad, ever.

"Well then.. I guess you'll see me later!"

"Huh?" Lizzie didn't get the joke, but she would later. Autumn ran back to the gym and grabbed her guitar.

"I'm ready Daniel!"

".quot; There was no reply, Autumn turned toward Daniel, Jill, BJ, and JJ.

"What are all of you staring at?" she asked obviously confused.

"Where did you get that out fit?" Jill asked, she was the drummer.

"I made most of it, but I bought it at a kimono shop downtown. Why?"

"That is soooo cool! Did you sign up for the costume contest!"

"Ummm.. No." Jill grabbed Autumn's wrist and took her down to where the sign up sheet was, and wrote her name down.

"Now you have! You're so going to win I just know it!" Jill started hugging Autumn to death.

"J-Jillllll do-rs op-ing peep-ooole!" (Jill, doors opening, people.) Autumn managed to get out.

"Oh! It's six! We have to get ready c'mon!" Jill once again dragged Autumn back to the gym and onto the stage. Autumn grabbed her guitar, but Daniel took it.

"Sorry Fall, you're just on vocals tonight." Autumn gave him a look that said "You have got to be kidding me."

"Why?"

"Because we can't risk anyone messing this up! Don't worry I'll be singing too." Autumn rolled her eyes.

"I know you're singing, but I'm used to playing and singing!"

"Air guitar." he suggested as the first students started coming into the gym. Autumn hit Daniel in the arm.

"You owe me!" she said smiling for once. Daniel smiled back,

"Let's do this!" Autumn walked to the mic, they were doing three songs, Halloween, This is Halloween, and Bump in the Night.

(I don't own these either,Halloween belongs to Aqua, This is Halloween belongs to..I've heard three different people sing this, so it belongs to the one that sang it first, and Bump in the Night belongs to.. whoever,also I'm letting my cousin pick the songs)

More and more people were coming into the gym and all of them were staring up at Autumn. J.J. who was playing a synthesizer pressed a button that played a prerecorded sound that sounded like a cell phone going off. The stage was soon surrounded by smoke, and Autumn pretended to be frightened.

Ring! Ring!

Hello? Autumn pretended to pick up a phone.

Remember me? Daniel asked from right behind her. That really scared her because when they practiced, he was never right there.

Who's there? Autumn started to look around, she saw that Lizzie was in front of her smiling. She knew that Mandy was going trick-or-treating with May, Sakura, and Naruto, to keep them from the dance, Janet said she was coming, and Kristina didn't go the school so she couldn't come.

I've got ya numbah! Daniel was using his regular voice, which really sounded insane when he said these lines.

Oh no! No! Autumn took one step back and kept looking around.

I'm baaaaaaaack.. to haunt you! he yelled, he was still behind her, but at least the audience was enjoying it.

No! Stay away! Daniel thought it would be a good idea to really scare the poor girl on stage, so as she was stepping back he poked her shoulder, and Autumn flew back to her original position, only this time her back was to the audience, and she was looking at Daniel. On cue said boy cackled evilly. Before she could say her next line, Autumn felt a tremor in the ground, and all of the lights except for the spot light went off. Now she was really, really scared, but apparently it was just her, and the music kept going. Autumn turned to face the crowd and continued,

It's Friday night
So creepy outside
It's is thundering and lightning,
There's nobody home
Cause I'm all alone
It's scary and it's frightening!

The sound of shoes
A shadow that moves
Something odd is tic tac ticking
Someone's in here
I'm so full of fear
The telephone is ringing! Daniel wasn't playing an instrument for this one, so he was dancing and having fun, he walked right behind Autumn, and said his next line.

Now I can see you! he sang, getting a little too close for comfort.

Oh no, please no! Autumn responded trying to push him back.

Now I can touch you! Daniel grabbed Autumn's wrist and started dragging her back.

Oh god, please go! Autumn responded once again, pulling her wrist from his grasp.

I am right here now! Daniel had managed to drag Autumn to center stage, and the spotlight was still on her, Daniel circled her, and Autumn tried to follow his shadow with her eyes.

Oh please, tell me where! Autumn turned and kept watching Daniel until the fog machines went off, then she couldn't see anything except the spotlight.

Ha ha ha ha!

I'm in a nightmare! Autumn fell to her knees and acted like she was about to go insane.

You better run! I'm back to haunt you down! Daniel stood just behind the ring of the spot light she you could see his shadow, but not his face. Autumn got up and went back to looking around. In this song neither of them had instruments, so during rehearsal the two of them would play around while they sang. Daniel started it, Autumn's job was to go along with it and stay in character. That's what they were doing now, but the thing was Autumn really was freaked out.

Halloween, in the death of the night, hear me scream,

I'm coming, I'm coming!

Halloween, is the fear that I fight, in my dream,

Keep running, keep running!

Just keep running - oh, keep on running, yeah! Just keep running!
Just keep running - oh, keep on running, yeah! Just keep running! Jill, B.J., and J.J. sang, they were having fun watching Daniel and Autumn, and Jill was the one who tuned the fog machines on, but if Autumn ever found out, she was going to get hurt.

Hell broke out
On this Friday night,
Zombies passing deadly.
My Candyman, from Bountyland
Is coming here to get me! Autumn accidentally wandered too close to the shadows, and Daniel caught her,he spun her around a few times, and kept going.

Now I can see you! If you were paying attention, you could practically hear him smiling while he sang.

Oh no, please no! Autumn was dizzy now, but she could have sworn that she saw the doors to the gym open..

Now I can touch you! Daniel was still toying with her, he actually stepped into the spot light and hugged her from behind, causing Autumn to smile briefly.

Oh god, please go! Autumn playfully pushed him off of her, and he went back into the darkness.

I am right here now!

Oh please tell me where!

Ha ha ha ha!

I'm in a nightmare! Autumn looked toward the back, right next to the door, she recognized something..

You better run, I'm back to haunt you down!

Halloween, in the death of the night, hear me scream, Because of the lights she couldn't see much, but she could see only one familiar thing..

I'm coming, I'm coming!

Halloween, is the fear that I fight, in my dream, Eyes...

Keep running, keep running!

Just keep running - oh keep on running, yeah! Just keep running!
Just keep running - oh keep on running, yeah! Just keep running!

It's squeaking and creaking
I move silent in the night, hahahahaha
Could be the boy from next-door
You'll never guess my disguise
Hahahahaha! Obviously Daniel was having fun, this time he was once again right behind the ring of the spotlight.

Kids and children fight
Pumpkin and candlelight
You might be the fearsome one at Junior High
Tonight!

Halloween, in the death of the night, hear me scream, That's when it really hit Autumn,

I'm coming, I'm coming!

Halloween, is the fear that I fight, in my dream, ...Red eyes... Sharingan!

Keep running, keep running!

Halloween.. Itachi!

Just keep running - oh, keep on running, yeah! Just keep running!
Just keep running - oh, keep on running, yeah! Just keep running!

Ahhhhhhh!! Autumn screamed for three reasons, One: It was one of the lyrics, Two: Daniel had just grabbed her, and dragged her out of the spotlight, and into the darkness, and Three: Itachi meant that the Akatsuki were here.

While the Audience clapped the DJ came, which meant that Autumn didn't have to continue.

"You okay Fall?" Daniel asked backstage. Autumn was shocked, they couldn't be there, she didn't fall asleep!

"I'm fine Daniel, just feel a little weird..." Autumn smiled at him, "I guess it's time to face our fans!" she said walking off.

"THAT WAS GREAT!!"

"YOU'RE AWESOME!!"

"YOU'RE SO LUCKY!!"

As Autumn walked off the stage, her and everyone else in the band were attacked by fans. Autumn ignored then and went straight to the back.

"Janet!" Autumn yelled for her friend to pay attention. Janet was wearing a brown Victorian-style dress, and her hair was curled.

"Oh my gosh! you were soo good!" she said giving Autumn a hug.

"Thank's J!" Autumn and Janet had been friends since fourth grade, and since then, they'd been inseparable.

"Fall!" Autumn turned and smiled as Lizzie came over. "That was awesome!"

"Thanks Liz, but those spotlights are hot!" she said whipping imaginary sweat from her forehead.

"Right, well I'll see you later, and I'll bring you back some candy!" she said before she left. Autumn was happy for a moment, until she felt someone staring at her. She turned her head, right on the other side of the gym was the whole akatsuki! They were just sitting there! Itachi came forward and started walking toward Autumn and Janet.

"Fall come over here!" Daniel yelled from the middle of the room.

"Excuse me Princess!" she said walking gratefully toward Daniel.

"What's up!?" She asked, but instead of answering Daniel just smiled. Pretty soon the music changed, and the spotlight was on Autumn and Daniel.

"Would you like to dance with me?" he asked smirking.

"Oh my what would your girlfriend say?" Autumn joked.

"She's not my girlfriend!"

"Fine," Autumn took Daniel's hand and they started dancing, it wasn't slow dancing, but all eyes were on them. The song that was playing was the techno version of "Phantom of the Opera" (Helio's dance version) As the song went on the two seemed to be doing an extremely fast version of the tango mixed with ballet.

"This is fun!" Autumn said to Daniel as he twirled her once.

"Glad to hear it!"

"Thank you." Autumn said smiling, "For everything." (Cheesey line alert! Cheesey line alert!)

"No prob." Daniel smiled back at her and the two of them kept up their little show. If you remember Tyler and Kyle from previous chapters, they were there too, and both of them were becoming even more jealous by the second. After the song ended both Daniel and Autumn bowed and walked over to where Janet was.

"That was fun!" Autumn said to her friend.

"Sooo... are you two like... Dating now?" Janet asked.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"HAHAHAHAHA!!" Autumn burst out laughing. "J. Do you remember the first thing I said when Mandy brought him over to our group??"

"Ummmm... No."

"I said this little lost puppy followed Mandy home, and now he's going to bug us for the rest of our lives!" Daniel was laughing too. It was common sense that Mandy and Daniel were made for each other. Wasn't it?

Autumn was standing by the door, it was almost 11:00, and she was planning on leaving before she got trampled. She didn't win the costume contest, but it didn't matter, she was forced to join anyway. Suddenly the door opened and Autumn fell down, before she could reach the floor, someone dragged her out of the building.

"What the-!" The last thing she saw was the spinning of the sharingan.

Really long, anywho SPRING BREAK!! This means more updating, and maybe even a new story! please review!!
