Chapter Fifteen

. Ronie's PoV (still).

. 9 AM .

The lift was fixed a few hours ago...

Will and clay went to the lodge, but like an idiot I had to have one more run before we left that morning because I don't get to board much anymore.

Right before I went, I saw Val coming towards me on skis.

"Val, this is the snowboard slope, not skiing," I said to her.

"I know," she said quietly. "Where were you last night?"

"Freezing my ass off in the broken lift with your cousin and the blacksmith," I said grumpily.

"Oh, well then you weren't with Brandon in the infirmary?" Val asked.

"No," I said. "And you were?"

"No, but Julie was..."

"Is that all you've come to do?" I asked. "Get on me about Brandon again?"

"Actually, no," she said. "I've got to tell you something because you're my best friend, and I know you're gonna kill me, but I figure I stand a better chance of getting away from you by making my getaway by skiing down a mountain even though I know you'll eventually catch me at the bottom, but you have the right to know!"

I stared at her.

"And what would that be?" I asked, totally confused.

"Well, Jack came to see me last night," she said.

I glared at her with huge eyes.

"And...?"

"We stared kissing..." Val said timidly.

"And?"

"Making out..."

"Which led to...?"

"Wandering hands..."

"Then what!" I yelled.

"It," she said simply.

I dunno how big my eyes were, but my mouth was open, too.

"Val, you didn't," I siad.

She swallowed hard and nodded, wanting to cry.

"You slept with Jack?" I whispered hysterically.

She turned to go down the slope, but I grabbed her arm to stop her.

"Did you!" I asked.

"Ronie, please don't hurt me!" she sobbed.

I looked down at the snow in total shock. She slept with Jack? Him! Of all people! Oh shit...

"Val, thanks for telling me," I said.

She nodded.

"Now if you'll excuse me," I began, "I have a pirate to murder."

I started down to the lodge, and the whole way there, Val was begging and pleading for me to leave him alone.

Ha! No way.

No man whore of a pirate sleeps with my best friend, possibly gets her pregnant, and lives to tell about it.

I stormed into the cafe at the lodge with Val still behaind me, and there I found little Mr. Deadman with Will, Clay, Brandon, and Julie at a table together. I picked Jack up byt the shirt and brought him inches from me.

"You - are - dead!" I screamed in his face.

"Ronie, stop!" Val said. "What if I'm okay!"

"He's still gonna die!" I said.

"Well at least liet hom live long enough to find out!"

"Val, you know I won't wait that long," I said.

"Well let's go to the infirmary then!" Val said. "We'll find out there."

"Find out what?" Clay asked as they all gave us screwed up looks.

"Nothing really," I said. "It doesn't matter either way. I'm just gonna go and I'm gonna kill Jack when we find out."

. Brandon's PoV .

. 30 minutes later .

Ronie went in with Val when she went to get the pregnancy test done.

The rest of us were just waiting.

It didn't take us long to figure out what happened after that little scene in the cafe. I was definately in shock, for sure. Whoa.

Jack was next to me looking solomnly at the floor. Damn, I felt sort of sorry for him. Ronie never threatened my life like that before.

Speak of the devil...

Ronie came out of the room sneering with a smile that made me uncomfortable.

"Oh, Jack, you lucky thing, you," she said.

"Lucky for what?" Jack asked nervously.

"You shot a blank," Ronie said.

Jack collasped from his tension with a smile, totally relieved.

"Oh, great!" he said.

"Yeah," Ronie said as she nodded. "Too bad I'm not gonna do the same."

At that, she whipped out a gun and pointed it at Jack's face. The rest of us jumped away as Jack put his hands up and slowly rose out of his seat. He looked from the gun to Ronie the same way he did the floor.

"I'm gonna blow your face off," Ronie said.

"Ronie, don't!" Val yelled as she came out. "What are you doing!"

"Where did you get the gun?" Clay asked.

We ignored him.

"Ronie, stop," Val begged.

"Don't worry, luv," Jack said quietly. "She won't hut me."

Ronie glared at him.

"Not the best thing to say to her, Jack," Clay said.

"Oh, won't I?" Ronie asked Jack. "Try again, Jack, because this is one situation you won't get out of alive."

She clicked the gun, and I just couldn't bear it. I leapt forward to push Ronie down, and then I found out that everyone hod done the same.

"Get off me!" Ronie screamed. "Let me go!"

. Val's PoV .

. 10 PM .

I drove six hours, and now Will's driving. I got in the camper with everyone else and sat quietly. Clay was up with Will, and we locked Ronie up in the baggage storage place on the side of the camper.

We accidently left Ana in Vermont, too.

Oops.

I was poking at a scrambled egg I made when BJ came and sat across from me.

"Val, you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said. "Fine."

"Did he hurt you, Val?"

"No."

Silence...

"BJ, the wedding's tomorrow, right?" I asked him.

"Yeah, it's tomrrow," he said with a sigh.

"Well, maybe you should get some sleep?" I suggested. "You look like you need it."

"I guess," BJ said. "Well, night, Val."

"Night, BJ."

I abandoned my egg and climbed into the bottom bunk where Jack was sleeping. His eyes popped open suddenly, and I jumped.

"Geez, Jack... scare me like that..."

"Sorry," he said. "And I'm sorry for scarin; ye like that this morning."

I smiled a bit.

"Jack, it's just not right," I said.

"But I said I was-"

"Not you! This whole... wedding... tomorrow," I whispered so only Jack could here me. "BJ and Julie? It just isn't right. Their names don't even sound good together."

"Things'll pan out, darling," Jack said. "Ye and I know that both."

I nodded and snuggled closer to him.

It just didn't make sense...

. Ronie's PoV .

. Midnight .

Oh, I will kill them!

THUD

Insignificant cowards!

THUD

Why won't this thing open!

THUD

Oh, grr!

I stopped and sat back. The camper stopped, too. Probably just a reststop.

"Wedding's tomorrow, Ronie," I said aloud to myself. "And you know they're gonna leave you in here. Guess the next time you see Brandon he'll have that pish-posh-excuse for a wife on his arm..."

Suddenly, the side of the camper was lifted up.

"Not necessarily."

Caly was standing infront of me with Will behind him. He offered his hand, and I took it with a smile as I climbed out.

"Come on," Clay said. "We've got work to do."

"Clay, where are we?" I asked.

"We're back in Florida," Clay said. "At the church."

"What about the others?"

"Sleeping," Will said as we crept up to the large doors.

"Clay, did you tell Will?" I asked dangerously.

"Yeah, he's in the know," Clay said. "He feels the same way and it doesn't look like BJ's coming around, so..."

Clay flung open the huge wooden doors revealing the beautifully decorated sanctuary.

I smiled, grabbing a piece of garland about to rip it down.

"Don't," Clay said.

"But you said about sabbotaging the wedding if Brandon didn't come to!" I argued.

"Ronie, you and I obviously have two different understandings of the word 'sabbotage,'" Clay said, walking up the aisle.

"Huh?"

"There are other ways to sabbotage a weding other than mass destruction," Will said.

"Since when are you two experts on the subject?" I asked.

"Since aunt clara's second marriage three years ago," Clay said.

"But she lived alone," I said.

"Naw... she was married, divorced, married again, and just filed for divorce again last month," he said. "But oh well."

"How exactly did you ruin that wedding?" I asked.

"Not the same way I am this one!" Clay said proudly, standing in the pulpir with a dignant finger in the air. "Come on, I've got it all worked out."

. Val's PoV .

. 1:30 AM .

Man, my stomach hurts.

Eh... hunger pangs!

I got up from Jack's side and stumbled over to the fridge.

PB and J all the way!

And some grape juice.

I took the first bite of my sandwich when I realized something.

We aren't moving.

I crept outside and came face to face with this huge church.

I went inside the creey doors since they were opened. I saw all these decorations and sighed.

Why did I have to louse up everything with the time machines?

If I hadn't, this would've been Ronie and BJ's wedding ages ago.

THUD

I jumped and spun around.

"Hello?" I whispered. "Hello..."

Something dark flashed by the altar, and I jumped again.

"Jesus, is that you?" I asked, wide-eyed. "Please don't hurt me, I'm sorry! I know I screwed up and I'm-!"

Suddenly, this bright light shown down on the altar. I was definately freaking out. I dropped my pb and j as I stared.

"Whoa... err, did you hear me?" I asked stupidly.

The light got brighter, and I fell back into my sandwich on the floor.

"Eww!"

Then all the light went away except for one ray shining on the open Bible. I shrugged my shoudlers and took it upon myself to go up there. I stood behind the altar and read aloud the highlighted passage.

"Only time can cure time's worst wounds," I said.

I screwed up my face and looked up as the entire altar lit up again.

"Are you sure that's a Bible passage?" I asked skeptically.

Then all the lights went out and I screamed.

"No! Wait!I'm sorry! Come-!"

Lights are back. Phew...

"Only time can cure time's worst wounds?" I asked, propingm y chin up in my hands in thought. Then I muttered it over and over til it drove me nuts.

"What does it mean!" I asked. "What! You want me to build another time machine and then go so far back that none of this eve happened?"

Then the lights shown just on me. My eyes got wide.

"What? That's it?" I asked with a smile.

The light got brighter, but my smiled faded.

"But... what about Jack?" I asked sadly. "I'll never see him again."

The light didn't change. I sighed.

"Fine," I said. "But I'm trusting you."

Then I left the altar and walked back the aisle out of the church. Great. Now it's go back or get struck by lightning. Lovely.

I know you're thinking (for those of you who read the end of JAOPS 3) that it's the exact same thing, but no - this is Val with a time machine. Anything can happen. And it will, so don't jump too far ahead, LoL. Hope you liked it!

Please review if you laughed…
