House of Idiots
(The door bursts open and everyone jumps back a step or two. Clyde and Poppy run through the door)
Mick-CLYDE?!
Jerome-POPPY?!
Mick, Jerome-what are doing here?!
Poppy, Clyde-what are you doing here?!
Jerome-were older. You first.
Poppy-fine. Clyde and I were out on a date...
Mick-wait slow down
Jerome-on a date?!
Poppy-yes. A date. I'm 15. I can handle it. Anyway this guy came in and Clyde said we had to get out of their. I guess he recognized him or something. We left the restaurant he came running after it. Once we made it back here and saw this little shack thing then Clyde busted the door down and here we are.
Clyde-Mick. What's going on?
Mick-something that's way bigger then you.
Clyde-I don't think its bigger then me since I'm sitting here running from the same...thing you are!
Jerome-never mind that now. You have to leave and get somewhere safe. Now.
Poppy-but Jerome...
Nina-no where is safe! It's best if they just come alone
Jerome, Mick-NO!
Clyde, Poppy-YES!
Eddie-wait a second. Didn't Rufus say he tagged Nina?
Fabian-yes.
Patricia-oh-no.
Fabian-do you know where he tagged you?
Nina-ummm. When he grabbed my wrist for like the billionth time. I felt something go in.
Fabian-nina. Are you willing to undergo surgery by untrained unprofessional kids?
Nina-anything to get this creep off our backs.
Fabian-ok the. You have to tell us, which wrist, how long ago he put it in, exactly where he put it, and how heavy of a sleeper you are?
Nina-ok, my left wrist, he put it in about...5 hours ago, he put it right in the center, and a tornado couldn't wake me. Most of the time I have to hold my phone right next my face so ill wake up on time.
Fabian-ok.
Eddie-right now. We need to get somewhere safe. Somewhere we can do this without an interruptions.
Patricia-we could use the mask chamber
Eddie-eh...
Fabian-it's not that sanitary
Alfie-how about the gatehouse?
Eddie-that might work
Jerome-it's been abandoned for 3 years
Fabian-ok the gatehouse it is(they all walk out of the crypt)
With Rufus...
Rufus-(talking to himself)now that I've gotten the other two out of the way(the other two being roger and Rodney)it's time to focus.(he sees everyone leaving the crypt. They all start walking to the gatehouse, but Clyde holds Poppy back. They start talking a little bit. Rufus walks away and sneaks up behind them. He grabs the, both and takes them away)
With the others at the gatehouse...
Fabian-ok Nina, we'll give you a half hour, then we'll come in and start. Ok?
Nina-ok(lays down on bed)
Jerome-have you seen Poppy?
Mick-I can't find Clyde either.
Alfie-relax guys. They probably just went back to their house.
Mick-you're right.
Patricia-and if they need us they know we're in the gatehouse.
Jerome-ok.
Mick-fine.
Fabian-come on guys. Lets leave Nina alone. She needs to rest(everyone leaves the bedroom and Nina closes her eyes)
With Poppy and Clyde in one of Rufus' many abandoned places...
Clyde-I should have told Mick early. When he left he told me that if I even saw the tail of his jacket I was suppose to call him. I've been seeing him around.
Poppy-me too. He's like been stalking me. And after Jerome left for school I got a weird phone call from him. He told me to not leave the house without mom and dad and come here ASAP
Clyde-here? In this abandoned place?
Poppy-no! I meant school!
Clyde-I know what you meant.
Poppy-good.
Clyde-this sucks
Poppy-I know it does
Clyde-buuuttttt...it gives us some time alone. Together.
Poppy-yes but what if he comes back?
Clyde-don't worry about him baby! Worry about now!
Poppy-but what if he...
Clyde-(cuts her off by kissing her)
Poppy-(they kiss for about 2 minutes then they both pull away*in a slow, dramatic way not a I hate you why the heck did you do that way*you kissed me
Clyde-I did. Didn't I?
Poppy-but why? We haven't even...this is just the wrong...
Clyde-don't deny it. You loved it
Poppy-I did.
(they into kiss her again, but is interrupted by Rufus)
Rufus-stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
(They back away from each other)
Rufus-that is my biggest pet peeve people kissing in front of me! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!
(Poppy and Clyde look at each other then start kissing again. Rufus cringes and is screaming at them. He eventually grabs Poppy, pulling them apart, and drags her out. She is screaming)
Clyde-POPPY!
Rufus-(turns around and faces Clyde)this is what happens when you disobey me (he turns, leaves and shuts the door. Clyde runs up and starts banging on the door)
Clyde-RUFUS! LET HER GO!(he continuously bangs on the door until he hears Rufus drive away then he kicks the door and turns away)
With sibuna(Nina is asleep)...
Fabian-are you ready Eddie, Patricia?
Eddie-as ready as ill ever be
Patricia-same
Alfie-lets do this
Fabian-Alfie. Just me, Eddie, and Patricia are allowed in here. You Jerome and Mick are suppose to be keeping watch
Alfie-sorry. Sorry(he leaves the room)
Patricia-ok. Now lets do this
About 3 hours later...
(The boys are sitting in the main study of the gatehouse)
Alfie-are they done yet?
Jerome-obviously not Alfie. Stop wondering.
Alfie-sorry.
Mick-ok. I'm getting seriously worried about Clyde. I haven't seen him since the crypt and he hasn't picked up any of his calls.
Alfie-relax he probably didnt charge his phone
Jerome-you never do
Mick-shut up, Clarke
Alfie-He's probably with Poppy. Call her, Jerome
Jerome-fine(picks up his phone)
With Rufus and Poppy...
Rufus-(is going through Poppy's phone when it rings)a call from Jerome? Just the man.(he looks about at Poppy in the back seat, smiles evily, then picks up the phone)hello, Jerome
Jerome-Poppy have you seen...(his eyes widen as he realizes who's on the other end)
Rufus-yup. Surprise!
Jerome-what have you done with my sister?!
Rufus-all in good time Jerome, all in good time
Poppy-(grabs the phone)JEROME!
Rufus-(grabs the phone back, hitting her upside the head in the process)
Poppy-AH!
Rufus-SHUT UP!
Jerome-POPPY!
Rufus-listen to me Jerome. I want to talk to you. Alone. If you want to see your sister alive again meet me in the clearing in one hour(hangs up)
Jerome-(just stares at his phone a little while)
Mick-so did you find out where Clyde is?
Jerome-no. But I know where Poppy is. I gotta go
Alfie-wait! We need to keep guard!
Jerome-you guys can handle it. I really gotta go(picks up his jacket and runs it of the main study area)
Alfie-JEROME!
Mick-what's his problem?
Alfie-I don't know. But I have a feeling it has something to do with that phone call
Mick-(sarcastically)really? I wouldn't even begin to think that he ran out after he made the phone call because of the call
Alfie-come on. We need to find out what's going on(he walks out and Mick follows)
In the clearing one hour later...
Rufus-(pulls up in his van, gets out, closes the door an locks it)hello Jerome. It's been a while
Jerome-it's been 3 hours
Rufus-still a time lapse
Jerome-so what did you want to talk about?
Rufus-about you.
Jerome-what about me?
Rufus-you understand you are a direct descendent of King Tut don't you?
Jerome-yes...wait I'm what!?
Rufus-you heard me. You're sister is too, but only the first born has the gift.
Jerome-why are you telling me this?
Rufus-because I feel if necessary.
Jerome-then who is Mick a descendent of.
Rufus-ah, he is Akhenaten
Jerome-is Akhenaten like cursed by Anubis?
Rufus-he was cursed by the gods.
Jerome-doesn't that lead to an early death?
Rufus-yes. It does. That's why I'm trying to get it done now. At least if he dies I have his brother
Jerome-I thought you said only the first born was...
Rufus-(cutting him off)yes, but he still has some power. Mick isn't a first born.
Jerome-he's not?!
Rufus-nope.
Jerome-oh my god.
Mick-(coming out of the woods with Alfie)I'm not?!
Jerome-(turns around and sees him. He has an expression on his face that says "no no no no no no no no")
Rufus-you brought someone?! I told you to come. Alone.
Jerome-I did come alone! They followed me! If we had planned this would he have stepped out of the woods!
Rufus-you make a point, but still. The deal was if you bring someone it'll be the worst. For BOTH of them(looks at Mick)
Mick-what is he talking about?
Rufus-well, Clyde and Poppy of course. Say good bye to them(goes gets in his van and drives away)
End of part 35...
