Me: YAY! I technically finished my homework.
Finn: We still have to organize her Psychology binder. Where we have to have all 27 things. And we don't know where ten of those are.
Me: SHUT UP. –whacks with celery- I'll find them.
Finn: OF course you will. –sarcasm-
Me: I'll tase you!
Chapter 17
Kat POV
"Hey Pinocchio," I started off the interrogation.
"Am I free?" he asked.
"Um, no. I'd like to ask you a few questions, if you don't mind."
"Actually I do." His nose didn't grow, so he must have minded, but I didn't care.
"It's about Candice. We have her in the next room and she won't talk. But if you talk, I can mention to the staff about giving you the magic fairy who turns you into a real boy. Clear?" He nodded enthusiastically.
"Candice! The shape-shifting zucchini loves the color orange and her favorite movie is…"
"No! Not that! Real info! Spy info!" I exclaimed. He looked down.
"Oh."
"Real boy…" I coaxed.
"Fine, fine," he sighed in his high-pitched voice.
"What is she plotting to do next?"
"She wants to recruit a specific person who has secret evil intentions and have them higher up so they can commit a jailbreak and free all us prisoners. She needs someone of upper class to get in without being seen," Pinocchio confessed. I glanced at the mirror, aka the window, where Finn and Gandalf were behind.
"When do you expect something like this to happen?" I asked, crossing my fingers underneath the metal table, hoping it would be Oh, maybe sometime next year or Oh, next month. At the least, but all I got was,
"Sometime next week. She told me ALL about it during our last visit."
"She visited you?"
"Yeah, as Gepetto." I facepalmed as I realized what he was talking about. Candice transformed into Gepetto and visited Pinocchio. I reminded myself to talk to the Three Fates or the Oracle for something useful. I considered any question I could ask while he was honest. Which happened to be most of the time.
"Do you know who she is going to convert?" I asked. Pinocchio looked down, not responding.
"Who is it, Pinocchio?" I asked quietly, but also angrily as well. Silence.
"Who is it?" I yelled, slamming my fists down on the metal table, creating an enormously loud noise echoing in the room.
"FI…" he started but trailed off.
"Tell me, or the deal's off," I said.
"Oh, you won't like it."
"I already don't like this."
"She wants to convert Finn." I gaped at him, noticing his nose wasn't growing and stormed out of the room.
"FINNEGAN WHITMAN!" I yelled. He was eating a doughnut with Cinderella, laughing.
"Hi Kat, how'd the interrogation go?" he asked.
"Candice wants you to join her army," I said.
"What? Why would you say that?"
"Pinocchio said so."
"You can't believe him!"
"His nose didn't grow! Finn, you better not convert! And stay away from fatty foods, those are bad for you." I took the doughnut from him and Cinderella and ate them both.
"Why did you do that?" he yelled back.
"I don't want you getting fat!" I said loudly.
"I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself, Mom."
"Oh, so now you're calling me old, huh? Guess you forgot I'm your KIDNAPPER!"
"Maybe I will convert! Maybe to get away from you, I will help Candice conquer the school!" he said. I gasped.
"You wouldn't!"
"I would!"
"No you won't."
"Wanna bet?"
"Yeah. Twenty bucks says you won't," I challenged.
"What if I leave right now to see Candice?"
"Who said you were leaving?" I asked. Gandalf and Dumbledore appeared out of nowhere and dragged him off.
"KAT! Where are they taking me? KAT!" he was yelling as he was dragged away. I turned to tell Cinderella to get lost, but who I saw was not Cinderella at all.
Finn POV
"KAT! Where are they taking me? KAT!" I was yelling gibberish and magical spells I heard her speak but Dumbledore and Gandalf didn't seem fazed. I struggled as hard as I could before concentrating on turning into hologram form. I became light quickly and flew out of their grasp, running as far away from them as possible. A red alarm rang and the hall flooded with security people, all grabbing at me, but swiping through me. I knew I couldn't maintain it long, so I dashed down one way where there was a glowing sign that read EXIT. I was surprised when there was nothing but a stone wall and a tiny window. I turned around and saw a door swing close behind me. The tens of security staff who had tried to catch me laughed hysterically and threw rotten fruit at me. Then they started throwing feathers that surprisingly seemed to go wherever they threw it, instead of flailing around in the wind. The feathers then transformed into spears as they tried to kill me.
"AGH!" I was yelling when I woke up. I looked calmly at my surroundings and saw that I was still in a stone cell, but no feather-spears, or anything. A guard stood out in the hall, directly to my left.
"Hey!" I hissed. The guy turned and saw a huge Copyright sign on his T-Shirt. "Who are you?"
"Luisphant Masterson," he replied proudly.
"Again, who are you?"
"A mortal hero of great destiny from Greece, back to assist the demigods," he insisted.
"And where… oh. You're from Create An OC, aren't you?" I asked. He nodded.
"Well, I was mistakingly thrown in here, so if you could…"
"Silence mortal!"
"You're a mortal too."
"I'm a god compared to you! I will phone in Master Kat to see you!" he picked up a glow-phone and dialed a number.
"What?" Kat's voice said irritated.
"This boy wants to see you, Master," Luisphant said.
"Who?"
"Prisoner #1063."
"Hold on…" I heard shuffling paper through the earpiece. "Finn?"
"He has stopped his incessant screaming," Luisphant informed.
"Good. I was getting too many complaints. What does he want? Put him on." Luisphant handed the phone to me.
"Hi, Kat," I said timidly.
"Suppose you're going to apologize now, huh? Well I just had a run in with Candice. Cinderella was at the ball with the prince when you were talking with her."
"The shape-shifting zucchini strikes again," I mumbled.
"Right. Until I find Candice again and put her behind bars, I'm going to have to leave you in the dungeon so she can't enslave you or whatever. Okay?"
"You're LEAVING me here?"
"Yup. Have a good day! I'll catch her soon. Bye!" and Kat hung up.
Me: Aww, Finny is locked up in a jail cell.
Finn: Lots of prisoners I see, if I'm Number 1063.
Me: Yeah, Candice gets around.
Finn: So, Luisphant?
Me: Submitted to me by LuisphantPM.
Finn: Does he even read these?
Me: Maybe only JustKatatonic. I don't know. If you are reading this, say hi!
Finn: Hi!
Me: Are you Luisphant?
Finn: Well, no…
Me: Then, shut it.
