A/N: This chapter reveals Francesca's real intentions with Phil, Keely calls 911, Tanisha and Scarlett save everyone's lives… strong language and violent scenes to me it's not be just saying.
We all heard it that "ting" sound. Someone was coming from the lift. Keely looked up, mascara stained eyes and stood up, a smile finally shown, Scarlett was relieved and so was Tanisha, she couldn't hide her smile. Pim still lying there inside the Pod, unmoving.
"PIM YOU HERE... KEELY?" Phil shouted hesitantly, coming in with arm stretched, holding his Wizrd, looking frightened but determined. Hopping on his good leg he stopped to see what was going on.
"Pim!" Phil shouted as soon as he noticed her lying there, walking faster to get to her with effort I raised my gun to his direction. He saw stopped, and stood there rigid, he never saw this coming.
"Tiffany, what you doing?" Phil asked tentatively, slowly raising his hands up.
"Something I should have done a long time ago" I answered, smirking finally Phil as arrived.
"You mean, you're not gonna do something crazy, Tiff-"
"Stop your mumbling, Phil, you hurt me, you ran away from me, you wanted me to rot, you hated me… so give me a reason of why I shouldn't kill you right here, right now" I announced.
"Look I don't know what you're talking about, I don't hate you, what do you mean I ran away from you, I don't understand" Phil said now trembling and walking backwards to hide for safety.
"Hey, don't move!" I ordered grabbing him by shirt and swung him to the floor, his Wizrd dropped out of his hand and rolled to Tanisha's feet. She picked it up slowly and put it in her bag, staring at Scarlett expectantly but she just put her index finger up signal for "1 minute".
"Tanisha, the insta-morph!" I exclaimed.
"Huh, yeah!" coming out of her trance she walked towards me and placed the insta-morph into my hand. She looked into Phil's eyes and saw he looked extremely scared.
"Alright, maybe this will make you understand"
Yet again, I raised the insta-morph towards me and pressed a button. My body morphed into my own. Everything in Phil went static as soon as he realised there standing in front of him, was his lost, crazy, deranged, lovesick best friend Francesca Williams.
"I woke up drowsy, you said to me you'd never leave me and I was just having a vacation you said, you and me, and I was thinking this is heaven and in heaven with Phil, then I wake up again to find the nurses trying to inject me and see that I'M IN SOME PSYCHO WARD, PHIL DIFFY YOU RUINED MY LIFE!"
Phil swallowed hard and shakily raised from the floor.
"Francesca, I knew one day I'd see you again, I can't believe I'm gonna say this but I'd rather see Andy Baxley than see you again!" He snarled smoothing down his shirt.
"It's nice to see you too Phil, just letting you know Jennifer is making a lot more progress now she actually said the word "evil" to me, and there's me thinking she'd never talk again" I said rolling my eyes and pacing around Phil, juggling the gun in my hand.
"All because she kissed me" Phil said slowly realising it was me they made her end up like that.
"Yeah I saw you two together it made me sick" I said shuddering.
"I just want to truly know, if I never brought out the knife would you have returned my love?" I asked firmly.
"No" he said easily putting his hands in his pockets and avoiding my intense gaze.
"Because I was in love with Jennifer" he continued with quick glances at Keely but he knew she didn't hear that because she was just staring at the gun that I was holding.
"With all the mean things she did to you!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, well I was in love with her, we're just friends now, but you I never really seen you in that way so…" Phil shrugged like I wasn't a big deal.
"You don't deserve me anyway"
"That is so true" he said sarcastically.
"Did you think I'd never come back, what you think I would never come and interrupt the life you were having with Keely the bland 21st century girl and me not being in the picture, no you and me will always be together"
"I knew you'd come back, just couldn't you have waited until next year" Phil joked.
"Look at this boy laughing like he thinks I can't kill him or something" I laughingly said holding the gun up to his face and putting it back down again moments after.
Phil's smile immediately faded, "I don't doubt one bit that you couldn't kill me since you tried to do it before"
"Phil, we haven't seen each other for what, loads of months and-"
"So what you want me to jump up and dance crazy with joy or something!" Phil snapped, interrupting me.
"No, I'm just saying-" Phil interrupted me again.
"LOOK MY CRAZY FRIEND IS BACK WOO HOOO! THE WORLD IS WONDERFUL AGAIN!" He started dancing crazily taking his sarcasm to the fullest.
Keely couldn't believe what she saw, who was this girl? Why were Phil and her conversing like old buddies, why was he dancing like an idiot, is this girl from the future? Seemed pretty true since she knew how to work the insta-morph very well, she always knew that I played with Phil's Wizrd a little bit too well, does he not know she's holding a gun! Forget wanting answers she did what was smart to do, shivering in the Pod because of fear or cold she couldn't tell, she flipped up her phone and dialled 911.
"You're pathetic" I spat at him. He stopped dancing and smiled back saying,
"Yeah well so are you"
"Great match"
Phil rolled his eyes.
"You never will change, and I fear that maybe true"
"Well you changed, I don't know what this century has done to you, you've changed, you're more… I dunno you've become more detached, restricted, more aware" I said contemplatively.
"Yes, I'm well aware that my oldest friend is holding a gun ready to kill me for helping her by reporting her to a Rehab Centre" he quipped looking at the gun carefully now.
"Helping me?!" I exclaimed incredulously.
"Fran, you were going to stab me! Don't you get that!" Phil shouted frustrated.
"That knife was the path to our happiness" I gently replied, looking at me fondly.
Tanisha eyes bulged in astonishment, she couldn't believe the crap that came out of my mouth, Scarlett was going to vomit.
Phil looked away, trying to fight the memories of the knife glinting in the sunshine, pointed at his face, her coming closer, a lovesick smile on her face, he blinked his eyes heavily and saw me walking closer towards him. I grabbed his face and squeezed his jaw,
"I will never forget what you did to me Phil, I loved you and you send me away to that nuthouse why?"
I let go of his jaw and smacked his face with the gun. Keely got up and banged on the Pod crying again, Tanisha instinctively marched towards me but Scarlett held her back. A bruise formed on his cheek and his lip was bleeding.
"I sent you there because everyone knew Dorm Room 201 was reserved for the bitch called Francesca Williams" he quipped smiling evilly. I turned around swiftly to face him and pointed my gun at him, his smile faded, I was ready.
"Nah, it ain't happenin'" I heard Tanisha say, I turned around and she pointed Phil's Wizrd at the gun, it flew about 20 metres away from my hand. Shocked at what I just witnessed, I could only question her with my angry eyes.
"I dun't lik murder, especially if the man's cute and adorable as Phil" she said walking to him and lifting him up. Keely was happy but she didn't want to get her hopes up, especially knowing she's trapped in a Pod with Goosebumps all over her skin. I laughed out loud squeezing my eyes shut, I opened them again and yes the gun was all the way in the corner of the room, and Tanisha was smiling aiding to Phil's needs, helping him stand up straight because of his bad leg. I sprinted to get the gun until Scarlett quickly used her Wizrd, pressing random codes and zapped me I fell on the ground, unable to move, like my whole body was numb.
"Nice work Scar" Tanisha cheered.
"Come on quick, open up the Pods, we're leaving" Scarlett announced picking up her bag and colliding into my bag. Video, tapes and little plastic bags were on the ground.
A video was labelled, "Phil in the garden" she looked at a plastic bag "Phil's armpit hair" not wanting to think how I got that she scooped it up in my bag and carried it with hers.
Tanisha typed codes on the computer and both Time Pod doors steamed open Keely rolled out and gasped for warm air, sweat now sticking to her skin and clothes, Keely ran into Phil embracing him with all her might.
"I thought she'd kill- she'd kill-" Keely stuttered. Phil merely smiled back and gave her another warm loving hug. Tanisha scooped up Pim on her shoulders, she struggled to carry her. Scarlett ran over to help so Keely held the bags.
"Is Pim gonna be ok?" Keely gently asked.
"Yeah she'll wake up eventually, well when she gets warm, come on lets go" Phil said looking sadly at Pim and hesitated at first but he glanced at me, an electric jolt went through his stomach when he saw the manic evil eyes staring back at him. I was smiling at him, always smile in horrible situations, makes you feel better. They all walked into the lift and Scarlett pressed the button for Ground Floor.
I laughed because I felt my arms and legs move again.
