Heyy. Happy Superbowl Sunday!
Lol okay so while I was writing this chapter Drake and Josh was on and it just so happened to be the Skydiving episode.
So Drake and Josh are being taught how to skydive by the instructor and he's like:
Instructor: There's one simple method to skydiving. You're gonna Squat, Pray, Leap, Ahhhhh!, and Touchdown.
Drake: *looks at method written downwards on chalkboard* That spells SPLAT.
Instructor: *looks back* Oh man.
Lol hilarious. So this is the chapter with our winner from my contest: ShadowDawn of a ShadowClan's character. Hope you enjoy. ;)
Sonny with a Chance of Skydiving
Chapter Eight (Sonny's POV)
I gulped as we pulled up in the limos to the skydiving place. I thought I could do this, but I found out I really can't.
The limo ride went great, I sat next to Tawni and we talked the whole way there about makeup and hair, distracting my thoughts from what was to come. And now I couldn't put it to the back of my mind any longer, we were here.
My cast and Chad's piled out of the identical black limos, and all gathered together, our adults only inches behind.
"Here we are!" Marshall exclaimed, motioning to a lonely gray building that was in the middle of nowhere.
"Uh, Timothy, where are we?" Lacy asked, looking around as the limos drove away.
Timothy scratched the back of his head. "Well, we are still in California, if that helps at all."
My jaw dropped. I knew what that meant; he had no clue where we were.
Tawni gripped my arm as we made our way towards the building. Finally I could make out the name of it.
SkyDIEving: Don't go towards the light!
Tawni and I gasped at the same time. Whatever "the light" was, I sure as heck wasn't going anywhere near it!
"W-Why is DIE capitalized?" I asked whoever would answer.
"They just ran out of lowercase letters, silly!" A voice said behind the group.
I turned around and screamed.
There was some lady right in front of my face, smiling with her eyes wide.
"I didn't mean to scare you! Did you know goats are animals?" She asked in her perky tone.
Everyone gave her a "What are you talking about?" look and she brushed it off by giggling.
"Oh, where are my manners? I'm Hedy Gerace, your skydiving instructor!" Hedy said. She had brown eyes like I do and curly brown hair.
Marshall pushed his way to the front by Hedy. "Hi, I'm Marshall Pike. I think we talked on the phone earlier…"
Hedy's already wide-eyes widened even more. "Marshall! I'm glad you can make it!" She said in a fake British accent.
Chad and I exchanged glances. This chick was psycho.
"Yes… anyway isn't it about time you took us inside?" Marshall motioned to the building and Hedy slapped her hand on her forehead.
"Whoops, I'm sorry. Let me do that now!" She rushed ahead of the group and lead us into the creepy little building.
"How old are you, Hedy?" I asked. The girl looked like she could be 12 years old, and I most certainly do not want a 12 year old showing me how to jump out of a plane.
"18!" Hedy announced, earning a cough-laugh from Chad and a giggle from Tawni. At least I wasn't the only one thinking something was fishy around here.
"Well hello Hedy!" Nico said, moving over to the brunette in a flash and putting his hand on her shoulder. "You know if you ever get tired of skydiving, maybe you and me could-WOAH!"
Nico said as Portlyn grabbed his wrist and pulled him back into the group. Hedy smiled and looked down, blushing.
This is so many levels of wrong.
"Okay." Our instructor said, snapping out of it. "Now you will all be going in two separate planes, 5 people per plane. I understand you all have buddies to jump with?"
Everyone looked at our adults. They told us we only got buddies if we needed them. (Not that there was anything wrong with having a buddy for this…)
"Can't they jump alone?" Timothy asked, starting to sweat as the casts glared at him.
Hedy shook her head. "Nope; our harnesses are made for couples only. We lost our last single harness yesterday. I wonder if they ever found Thomas…" her voice trailed off.
My eyes bugged out. Please tell me I didn't just hear what I thought I heard!
Marshall stepped in and looked over all the teenagers in the room. "Okay, no problem, we will just have the same buddies from camping paired up. This means you will get to do some more bonding together! Isn't that great?!" He waved his hands in the air.
Chad and I just stared at each other. Now I really can't handle this!
"Excuse me, uh just how safe is this?" I squeaked. Hedy rolled her eyes in a childish way.
"Very safe. We only lost 3 people this month!" She proclaimed.
"Wait, isn't it only December 9th?" Steven asked.
"Yeah, what's your point?" Hedy shrugged.
My stomach sank and I felt like I was going to be sick.
"Now all you have to do when you get up to the right altitude is watch for green or land. We don't want anyone landing in water, not after what happened to the McHaffey's…" Her voice trailed off once more. Does she want us dead?!
Hedy shook her head and continued. "So when you see land you and your partner will both count to 3 and jump, hopefully you will land somewhere in the state. If not, nice knowing you!" Hedy said happily, motioning us to step forward.
Suddenly, a giant door starting moving, splitting the room in half: Hedy on one side, us on the other.
The casts murmured in nervousness as the door slid all the way down.
The last thing we heard before it closed was a "Good Luck!"
And we were officially outside, two huge planes facing us all.
The propellers started spinning, making a loud, painful noise.
But the only noise I could hear was my rapidly beating heart.
Okay so that was the intro to the skydiving place. Hedy's character was so much fun to write for and I hope she is happy with the way I put her in the story.
Next chap will be up soon!
REVIEW PLEASE.
