OK SOOO SRY I TOOK ME SO LONG TO UPDATE. I had finals to study for (still do) and I was stressed out and had a bit of writer's block, but it's back! Chapter 5! Enjoy and review! :)
"Wait!" Jax suddenly exclaimed. This made Phillip and Daniel look in his direction, confused.
"We should probably use a number they wouldn't recognize."
"Oh yeah, you're right. Let's use Phillip's phone." Daniel suggested.
"OR, Jax could just use a spell to make it look like it came from an anonymous person." Phillip retorted. So, that's what they did. Jax cast a spell to block Daniel's number.
"Okay, so what's our backstory, why are we calling them?" Daniel asked. The boys were pensive, wanting it to be a good one.
Just then, Diego called from Jax's phone. He reluctantly picked it up.
"Ok before you say anything, PLEASE, NO DETAILS." Jax begged.
"Oh um, we haven't started yet." Jax's eyes bulged, even though Diego can't see them.
"What exactly have you been doing for the past hour?!" he demanded. It was almost midnight, and Diego had left at 11:03.
"Maddie's still getting ready! She realized she wanted to make sure her hair was done right...and that her mother or Katie and Sophie didn't come barging in." Leave it to Maddie to worry about her hair 24/7, even when she and Diego are suppose to take their relationship to the "next level."
"Anyways, I called to see if you guys can distract Katie and Sophie, and maybe ask Emma, Andi, and Mia if they can distract Maddie's mom? At least, for an hour, and a half." Jax chuckled to himself, knowing what it feels like to want to have as much time as possible with the one you love, especially when it was an intimate moment.
"Well you're in luck, we were just about to prank call them. We'll ask the girls if they'll talk to Mrs. Van Pelt."
"Actually, you guys should pretend to be Maddie, and tell them that she knows about them trying to frame me for ruining her favorite purse, even though it was Sophie who let it fall into some mud. But make sure they don't come to her house."
Jax actually thought that would be funny to hear. "Will do man, and hopefully the next time you call, you won't be a virgin anymore."
Diego laughed. "Yea hopefully, well see ya!" and he hung up. Jax then looked at Phillip and Daniel, and told them what Diego asked of them.
"I'm interested as to what Katie and Sophie do without Maddie. I rarely see them separated." Phillip answered truthfully.
"Well, here goes nothing." Daniel chimed in. While he was dialing the number, Jax cast a spell on himself to sound like Maddie. Oh, this is going to be fun, he thought to himself.
They picked up on the third ring.
"Sophie's phone!" Sophie answered.
"I KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO PROXY!" Jax said, while Phillip and Daniel tried to hold in their laughter.
"MADDIE. HI." she then paused, and quickly continued. "It was Katie that made me go along with it! I knew bubblewrap wouldn't protect him from the power transfer, even thought it's fun to dress in!" Jax already knew this information (from Diego), but wondered what Maddie would think of it.
"Um, no, not that! But, you'll both be punished for that later. You destroyed my purse, and you owe me a NEW ONE!" Sophie them whimpered from the other end of the phone, almost causing Jax to lose all control and laugh. However, he managed to contain himself.
"Where's Katie?" Jax attentively asked.
Sophie openly said "hmmm" and then answered, "She's hosting a party at her house so she can become..." and trailed off, remembering she wasn't supposed to say anything.
Jax was intrigued. "What party? AND so she can become what?!" Jax pressed. He heard Sophie stammering for the right words. Phillip and Daniel already lost it, and were holding pillows to their mouths.
"I didn't say party! I said...hunt! For koalas...with me!" she exclaimed. Jax knew where this was going. "Do you think you could ask Diego to text Jax and ask him to come?" Sophie asked, obviously smitten. Jax sighed, thinking it was cute that she liked him, but her obsession with impressing him with Australian stuff was becoming annoying and kind of creepy.
"Sophie, I order you to shut down that party! Katie cannot have a party without me!"
"Yes, Maddie I will. Does this mean I get to carry your books again? You said whenever I obey an order I get to!" Wow. Jax thought it was unbelievable that Maddie had Katie and Sophie so wrapped around her finger that they would do anything to be in her good graces.
"Yes, sure, whatever. But you have to shut down that party...or else."
Sophie gulped and said, "For you Maddie, anything." and she hung up. Jax then got up, reversed the spell on himself, and announced. "Ok, we're going to Katie's party!"
Both boys looked confused and a little upset. "Why?" Daniel whined.
"Yea, I'm not much of a party person. I used to be a zombie. Loud music is NOT for me." Phillip stressed. Jax sighed, not wanting to explain himself, but proceeded.
"Because, I told Sophie to shut it down, because I knew Maddie would be furious if she found out. And I thought it would be fun for us to keep it going as long as possible, for Diego's sake. Phillip, text Andi about Maddie's...I mean your mom. Then, we're leaving." Jax sometimes forgot that Ursula was now Phillip's mom too.
Seeing as no one argued, they all got up, put on some decent clothes(they brought a change of clothes just in case), put on their shoes, fixed their hair, and left for Katie's house.
Andi got the text from Phillip in the middle of a video game battle of Zombie Apocalypse 4, which she got by hacking it online, with Mia and Emma. Emma had already lost, and since Andi really didn't want to lose her winning streak to Mia, she took her phone and read the message.
"GUYS, pause the game for a minute!" Andi reluctantly paused it.
"Phillip texted you asking if we can distract his mom for Diego." Even though it's been a few months since Ursula adopted Phillip, it still felt a little weird calling her Phillip's mom.
"Why does Diego want us to-" Mia began to say, but stopped herself when she realized the reason. She bit her lip, not wanting to be the one to tell Emma.
Andi, without thinking, figured it out, and blurted. "OMG. THAT'S WHY. Looks like they beat you to it, Em."
Emma, blushing a bright red, gave Andi a look, half-embarrassed and half-annoyed. Andi realized her mistake and quietly said, "Oops."
Emma pulled herself together, trying not to let this new knowledge affect her. She looked at the time. It was 12:10. "Ok, well ask Phillip what's her number." Andi quickly took back her phone and texted Phillip.
A couple minutes later, Phillip texted her the number, and said she's at some witches party and may come home early.
Andi spoke up. "I have an idea of how we can avoid her going home, but you may not like it." Emma looked at her best friend, at first confused, then with widened eyes, knowing what she was referring to.
"ANDI! NO!"
"What choice do we have? Besides, there's no way your dad would ever like Maddie's mom." Emma frowned, not wanting to put her dad through this, but she had promised to help Diego...and Maddie, so they can finally be able to-
"Sooo, are we doing this?" Andi said, interrupting her thoughts. Emma sighed, bit her lip, and complied by nodding her head.
Mia and Andi looked excited, knowing Ursula's reaction would more than likely be funny.
Andi handed Emma the phone. As it rang, she prayed that this wouldn't cause her dad to come home early. And she certainly didn't want her dad to find out that she was the one who told Ursula where he was.
This is turning into a long night. Emma thought.
