AN: hey guys! It's the weekend! and I'm bored :P Here's that update!
Ali, Maria and Cecelia walked into the shop laughing "My gosh! Al! you got that down!" Cecelia chirped
"Well I da girl aren't I?" she said in a Nikki Minaj voice They laughed again as they approached the counter in the small shop "Um… could we have the mint chocolate and sunday swirl ice cream cake please?" the shop keeper got to work, the girls sat down and chatted for awhile until a man stalked into the shop, heading straight for the girls. "Jack, I still don't understand why you haven't moved on" Maria muttered not looking at him and sipping her drink. Jack scooted into the booth next to Maria. "'scuse me?" Ali protested, frowning deeply. "Jack what are you doing?" Cecelia questioned harshly "That obviously wash't an invitation to come and sit down". Jack stared at Maria, making her uncomfortable "I need to talk to her"
"Then don't stare you stalker!" Maria scooted further away from him and closer to Ali. "cake's done" the shop keeper informed, Ali got up and headed straight towards the confer with the other two girls until Jack stopped them again which was getting just plain annoying. "Don't you insult me you stupid green bean! I need to warn you about-"
"Move on Jack! Go home!" Maria interrupted
"And why do I have to take orders from some dimwits like you-" Cecelia slapped him, it felt good "Don't talk to her like that! You know that we have her back! all you ever did was just slap her and ignore her! why do you want her back?! at least Derek actually cares about her!" Ali and Cecelia started throwing insults at him. Jack grew angrier by the second until he couldn't take it anymore, he grabbed Maria ruffly and whispered something in her ear. She frowned and pushed him off her "You're delusional!"
"No I'm not! just look!" an old woman walked in, she looked like a fish with a bit too much make up on
"Well hello dearie" it sneered
"okay that's creepy" Ali looked surprised at the figure standing in the door way, Cecelia grabbed the cake "Um… Is it just me or does she look familiar?"
"That's what's so creepy"
"Oh. I'm creepy am I?" The thing asked "Why do I look familiar then? let's have Maria tell us why then" Maria frowned, trying to get at what she was getting at. "Well, dracanios, I thought you would know bye now"
"Don't call me that!" Maria turned her head a little "Know what?" Maria asked narrowing her eyes
The fish-woman-thing cackled "Well as you can see, by the descriptions most of the authors have given you on their little website, I am madame morrible"
Cecelia looked confused "What language are you speaking?!"
"Um… english! dugh!" Maria replied slightly annoyed
"Um… you weren't just a second ago"
Maria looked at Cecelia like she was crazy but shook it off and nodded towards the door, Cecelia and Ali obliged and slowly made towards the door. "Well what does that make me? Elphaba?" Maria played sarcastically, Madame morrible sneered "Not exactly… but you are… of sorts". Maria glared at the hag "Okay I don't speak riddles, what are you doing here and why are you playing with me?"
"I am not playing… you are" Maria bit her lip when the Madame looked towards the two girls edging for the back door "Okay you caught us. Fine. Just tell me why you are here and what you ned to tell me or just move and let me get on with my life"
"Impatient brat. Fine. I'll tell you. I am here to collect you and your power. You are daughter of the wicked witch's grandchild. Therefore you are the air to the throne. I want the throne. So I'm just gonna take it." Morrible sneered, Maria laughed "Jack. Is this your Idea of getting me back? how stupid. Hiring an actor to play one of the most hated people in history and-"
"Maria this isn't a joke… I wish it was though" Jack glared at the old woman, Morrible rolled her eyes and waved her hand. Jack fell to the ground gasping of air. "Jack seriously stop it. Call off the joke. I found out wohoo now joke's over" Maria warned looking cautiously at the trembling form "Not. Joke. Help."
Morrible just shrugged "What is she going to do? she's nothing"
"actually. If I'm Elphaba's great grandchild then I'm stronger then she was- wait… doesn't that mean that you're like a hundred years old or something?"
Morrible put her fat hand against her time worn face "umm… no. I'm already a hundred and twenty" Cecelia stared at the fish, then the shop keeper mouthing 'get out' to him, he nodded and ran for the back door, Maria stared at the old woman thingamajig with a skeptical expression on her face "Okay. So what you saying is. You, a hundred and twenty year old woman, is going to try and capture me, a twenty one year old girl, and try to use me to get the throne of Oz?"
"Yep that about sums it up" Jack hissed
Maria shrugged "Try and get me ya fish face!" she teased before running out of the shop with Cecelia and Ali
Derek flipped on the lights and everyone jumped from their hiding places "SURPRISE!" Bonnie laughed at the sudden surprise, she nearly hit Derek because she thought he was a burglar. The music started. Ali, Maria and Cecelia rushed in with the cake. "TADA!" they posed smiling nervously.
"Ali! did you return the car?" Maria asked still posing with the cake
"Yes! of course I did!" Ali replied smiling for a camera, nearly falling over afterwards
"What's all this for?" Bonnie asked as she walked through the party towards Lindsay and Derek "You'll see, at the end of the party" Lindsay answered walking over to the cake "You guys nearly missed the party! what happened?!"
Cecelia smiled her 'I've not done anything wrong smile' while Maria whistled and Ali looked at the ground "What did you do?!" Lindsay said in a motherly tone
"Okay Fine!" Cecelia gave in "Soooo… wesawthismanaroundtehcornerofthecakeshopandhewasactuallyJackbutwedidn'tknowuntilhecameinaaaaaand-"
Maria tapped her shoulder "Umm… Cece?"
"Yeah?"
"Why do you always speed like that?"
Cecelia shrugged "I dunno… I'm jus gonna explain properly…" she took a deep breath "WesawthismanarounthecornerofthecakeshopandhewasactuallyJackbutwedidn'tknowuntilhecameintotheshopandhestartedtalkingsmacktoMariaagainthenIslappedhimandwestartedtrashtalkingback, thatwayreallyfunwasn'titAlianywayshegrabbedMariaandstartedthreteningheruntilshepushedhimoffherandthenthisfishwomanwalkedinandshetoldmariasomethingbadandthenwehadtorunbackherewiththecakestillingoodshape!" Lindsay stared at Cecelia for a second then looked at Ali and Maria "Did any of you understand that?"
Ali nodded "Okay what she's trying to say We saw this man aroun the corner of the cake shop and he was actually Jack but we didn't know until he came into the shop and he started talking smack to Maria again then Cecelia slapped him and we started trash talking back, that was really fun wasn't it Cece? anyways he grabbed Maria and started threatening her until she pushed him off her and then this fish woman walked in and she told Maria something bad in another language and then we had to run back here with the cake still in good shape!" Lindsay and Maria had skeptical looks on their faces "What?! I understand Cecelian!"
"Cecelian? really?"
"What? I couldn't come up with a different name…"
Lindsay sighed "we'll the woman couldn't have been that ugly"
"Yes she was… She fell off the ugly tree, hit all the branches all the way down and probably is related to the carp" Cecelia smiled
"And here we go again" Maria moaned
Lindsay shook her head "Just don't let Bonnie find out till the end of the party or-"
Bonnie walked over with Derek "Find what out?"
Ali nearly slammed her head on the cake box 'way ta go Linds' she mouthed
Lindsay fought for an answer to the question "Well… as I said earlier you have to wait for the end of the party which is in -" Lindsay checked her watch "has somebody tamperfied with my watch? it's going crazy!" everyone looked at Derek "What?"
"Your always play pranks on me Derek"
"Oh… but I didn't touch your watch! I was getting the greenification- great. Now I'm doing it! next thing I know I'm walking around like Fiyero!"
Ali raised an eyebrow amused "you do that for a living!"
"Miss pinkified two shoes!"
"Brainless scarecrow!"
"GUYS! stop! you can do this later-" Maria checked her phone and cracked up
Lindsay frowned "What's so funny?"
"Well… I ran into some of the other actresses and actors at the store and now we've got this group chat… apparently everybody acts just like the girls do when they chat!"
Lindsay laughed "Add me!"
Maria played round with the keys on her phone "Added Ali and Derek as well"
"Coolniess!"
Derek's eyes widened when he saw someone a bit too familiar walk through the door "Uh guys we got company" Maria stopped smiling when she saw the guest, Ali groaned, Bonnie bit her lip and Lindsay tensed. "Great1 to what do we owe this pleasure Jack?" Maria snapped sarcastically. Jack glared at her "I heard there was a party in the neighborhood and decided to join the fun"
"Get out jack. This party is for me, Peach, Nia, Bunii and Raé alone" Bonnie hissed. For a twelve year old she really could be scary sometimes, even Peach got the shivers when she used that tone with her. Jack attempted to mock her but failed miserably… Maria stepped in before Bonnie could use her 'kung fu' to good use. "Okay Jack back off go get some punch before I cuss you out!"
"She knows a mean bunch of words" Cecelia warned, Derek nodded in agreement "Trust me she's just barely warming up"
Jack glared at the actor "What do you know about her? you haven't been dating for less than a month!"
Derek raised an eyebrow smirking "Actually we were friends for a long time before that" Jack fought for a come back… it didn't come to him "I… you… but…" he sighed "I'm going to the lounge"
Maria grinned at her victory "That's a good boy" the others around her laughed as he stalked off "I'm just gonna grab some punch guys I'll be right back" Maria walked over to the green liquid, pouring some into her pink cup. She sighed 'well this is going to be an interesting night' she thought. Derek was watching the green girl like a hawk as he danced, he really had a bad feeling, a couple of people blocked his view and Maria disappeared he craned his neck in every direction looking for her. He couldn't find her. Lindsay walked into the center of the room, a few fangirling cries from the cluster of people then silence "Now I'm going to tell Bonnie why we all threw this party for her!" she announced into the mike "I got Bonnie's results for her audition right here" Lindsay held up an envelope "Bonnie… got the part!" everyone cheered, Bonnie just stood there with her mouth hanging open and her eyes as big as golf balls "I… I… I got the part?" she stuttered before fainting. "Bon! hello?! Bonnie! wake up!" Ali waved her hands over Bonnie to cool her down, not that she had a temperature or anything, "Bonnie! Bonnie wonnie?" Peach teased
"I got dis girls" Nia kneeled next to Bonnie "BONNIE! YOU'RE GREEN!" Bonnie immediately woke up flailing her arms hitting Nia in the nose and knocking Raé over, the guys she was dancing with giggled, one of them helped her up "Umm… Nia?"
"Yes Raé?"
"SERIOUSLY?! I THOUGHT YOU LEANED NOT TO DO THAT LAST TIME!" Raé shouted looking at the teenager like she was crazy
"Oh yeah… I forgot about that" Nia shrugged helping Bonnie to her feet
By the time everyone had left the party Bonnie was really really impatient with the teenagers "Okay now tell me what is going on with you six!"
"Six?" Derek asked
"Jack is still here"
"Oh"
"Just promise not to interrupt until I'm finished?" Everyone nodded and Cecelia started to explain in detail what was going on. When she was finished everything was quiet.
"Soooooo Madame A. morrible is real?"
Lindsay frowned "A?"
"I found out earlier that her middle name is Angela"
Derek quirked a brow "She's certainly not an angel by the description of her assault"
"Oh she's just warming up" Jack informed as he strolled into the room "you just wait and see what she has in store for Maria-"
"I knew it! Morrible took her while she was at the punch table!" everyone looked at Bunii "What?! I saw Maria being carried away by some guy"
"That does't mean it was Morrible- oh wait she could've been in disguise" Nia sighed
"Well what are we gonna do now? we know who took Maria… just not where they took her" everyone looked at Jack "What?"
Peach rocked on her heels " you wouldn't perhaps know where Morrible would take her… would you?" Jack nodded "could you tell us where that is?"
"No"
"WHY?!" the actors and teenagers shouted at the same time
"I can't"
"You can't or won't?" Derek fired stepping closer, Cecelia and Lindsay grabbed his arms
"I can't! okay! don''t you think I want to save her too?"
AN: anybody else forgot what AU means? *shruggs*
