The Loser Patrol
Part 4
The Grand Finale
-SHE'S DEAD! CAT IS DEAD! SHE'S DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU SICKOS! -Tori kept yelling at Skyler while Jade held her
Skyler glared at her for a few seconds after which she ran away in fear, minutes later the whole "Loser Patrol" minus Jade, was informed. Heather paced around the classroom.
-If they find out we had something to do with it we might end up in jail -Tanana said
Heather glared at her with fury in her eyes.
-Nobody will find out about anything, don't be stupid. Just shut up and let me think.
-Vega knows we had something to do - Skyler said
-No you moron, SHE IS ASSUMING! Look, we have to get our act together...
-Let's blame Jade -Mallory said
Heather glared at her and a smile formed in her face.
-Great idea... we'll put the blame on gothy girl and she'll get kicked out... good thinking Mallory... but let's calm down first, let's give it a couple of days and see where this goes. -Heather instructed them.
The following morning, Tanana opened her locker to get her books, she was scared and surprised to find nothing but an empty bottle of sleeping pills and a strawberry lollipop in it.
-Can I have my lollipop?
Tanana began to tremble, the voice was unmistakable, slowly she looked at the mirror she had on her locker door, behind her, she could see a figure standing, she turned around and there she was, her face was very very pale and she was wearing a long white dress.
-You're dead... you can't be here...
-I just want my lollipop...
Suddenly a hand placed in her shoulder made her scream as if there was no tomorrow.
-What is wrong with you? - it was Jade
-CAT! CAT IS HERE! I SAW HER! SHE WANTED THE LOLLIPOP THAT'S IN MY LOCKER!
Jade glared at the inside of the locker.
-I don't see a lollipop there.
-What? How can you not see...
Tanana's eyes opened wide as, inside her locker, there was her stuff, no bottle, no lollipop of any kind.
-That's... that's impossible... I know I saw her...
-Yeah, whatever... where's Skyler? - Jade asked
-With Heather in the cafeteria...
-Come on let's go find them.
Later that day Tanana told her friends about what she had seen. Skyler chuckled.
-WHAT? - Tanana furiously said
-Oh come on Tany, you're really losing it, seeing ghosts... and in Hollywood Arts of all places...
-I KNOW WHAT I SAW YOU... YOU
-Enough both of you - Heather said
-But she is
-Tanana I said enough. We need to keep an eye on things, remember, if push comes to shove, we'll blame the whole thing on Jade. -Heather said
Her friends nodded solemnly. The next day Andre saw Tori glaring at Cat's locker.
-Tori?
There were tears running down her face.
-why...
-Look, she was hurting.. there's nothing we can do. - Andre said
-I miss her... a lot...
Andre hugged her.
-Me too.
In the gym, Skyler was taking a shower after cheer-leading practice when suddenly she saw that the liquid falling on her wasn't precisely water...
-What. the... b.. blo... blood... it this...
Then, through the shower curtain she saw a figure standing there, it had unmistakeably red hair, the figure spoke.
-Tell the truth... you did this... tell Heather to tell the truth to the Principal...
Skyler began to scream, she stopped when the curtain was moved and Tanana glared at her.
-What is wrong with you?
-LOOK AT ME! I'M ALL COVERED IN BLOOD!
Tanana gave her a curious look.
-What are you talking about? - she asked
Skyler glared at her hands, what was once red was now crystal clear.
-I WAS COVERED IN BLOOD DAMN IT! AND SHE WAS BEHIND THE CURTAIN! - she yelled back
-Look, let's get you dressed, we need to get back to class -Tanana said
Later that afternoon Skyler told her friends what had happened to her.
-OK, that's even more ridiculous than what Tanana said the other day. - Heather said
-IT WAS TRUE! - Skyler said
-Whatever you two are eating, you better stop - Heather said coldly
-Look, something is going on, we should
-YOU should shut up Skyler, let's not fall in this scary-house shit. I'm not buying it. - Heather said.
-Both Tanana and I saw something, it's either you or Mallory, but you'll see something - Skyler said
-All right look, tomorrow, we'll end this, we'll blame Jade for the video and it's the end of the story. -Heather said
All nodded. The following morning Mallory woke up, and, as she got up from her bed she yelled as her feet slipped on thousands of pills that where on the floor and, as her body crashed mercilessly to the floor, she held herself from her dressing table. The minute she got up, she noticed that for one, her floor was covered with pills and empty bottles and that her mirror was filled with an inscription that read "You have to tell the truth Mallory... tell the truth..." trembling she got dressed and left for school. Once there Heahter gathered her friends.
-OK, we're going to go to the Principal's office now and we'll blame all on Jade OK? -she commanded
-Look, Heather, honestly I think
-WE-WILL-BLAME-JADE. Clear? -Heather said severely
Her three friends nodded. After cheer-leading practice they were getting dressed.
-Tanana go see if the Principal is in his office, Skyler, go find Jade, Mallory go to the cafeteria, I'll meet you there in five minutes.
They left to do what they were asked. As Heather was left alone she concentrated in getting dressed, suddenly the floor began to fill with a reddish smoke...
-What the...? OK Vega, stop the joke.
-Heather...
As she turned around she saw Cat standing there, white robe, her eyes were shaded in dark and she had a severe look.
-You did this... I'm suffering because of you...
-W... wait a minute... you... you're dead... I... I saw you at the funeral parlor...
-You will tell the truth... - Cat said walking towards her
-I... I...
-TELL THE TRUTH! YOU CAN'T BLAME JADE! - Cat yelled as a fiery explosion took place behind her
Screaming she ran out half dressed, Cat giggled as she saw her. Cat was still giggling when Trina walked in.
-Hey, what's with the yelling and the...
-Hi Trina!
But the very sight made her friend scream and run out, meanwhile, Tanana was at the Principal's Door when Heather came running at her, the next thing she knew was that she was in the floor inside the office with heather gasping for air on top of her.
-WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS! - Principal Eikner yelled at them.
Heather got up.
-Look we're sorry OK? We did everything, Tanana, Skyler, Mallory and me, we
-HEATHER! - Tanana yelled
-SHUT UP TANANA! JUST SHUT UP! We framed Cat and Sikowitz and we were going to frame Jade... but we did it all... we didn't wanted anybody to die, we just wanted them out of the school -Heather said
Principal Eikner leaned on his chair and glared at them.
-Then it was true.
Heather and Tanana glared at him with their eyes opened as much as they could.
-What do you mean? - Tanana said
-I told him. - A voice said
As they turned around they saw Jade leaning against the wall.
-BUT YOU MADE THE VIDEO! -Heather yelled.
-I know that too - Principal Eikner said
-What?
-Jade told me about you guys asking her for that video.
-AND CAT IS DEAD BECAUSE OF IT! -Tanana yelled
-Look, for a start you and your friends are suspended indefinitely from Hollywood Arts until I decide whether or not to put this up to the board where your punishment will be even more severe.
Jade smiled.
-Guess Hollywood Arts will get cleansed after all.
In the dressing room Tori walked in to find out what had gotten Trina so freaked out. Cat was taking off her costume and had her back turned, Tori walked to her and tapped her in the shoulder.
-Excuse me, do you know why my sister
-Hey Tori!
-AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Andre ran in from behind and held her along with Beck
-It's OK Tori calm down, calm down. - Andre said
-SHE'S DEAD! SHE'S DEAD!
-Tori, I'm not dead, I'm fne. It was part of Jade's plan. - Cat said
Tori glared at her.
-What?
-Jade knew all about it so she had plan. She joined them and did all they wanted. - Beck said
-But but I saw you and... the funeral...
-Ah, that was an awesome performance -Professor Sikowitz said walking in.
-You were in on this too? - Tori asked
-Of course, and so was Principal Eikner and a couple of your Dad's friends from LAPD too.
-Why didn't you guys told me? - Tori asked
-Because we needed to make it real. You were one of Cat's best friends, if you weren't sad and down, then Heather and friends wouldn't have bought it like they did. -Beck added.
-And we had the help of some people we met the other day.
-That'll be us - Sam said walking in.
-Come on Tori let me help you up -Carly said helping her.
-And since I'm so awesome in make-up well.. I was very convincing - Cat added.
-Plus some special effects here and there, like invisible red ink... some mirrors... some -Added Freddie.
-Yeah yeah, thank you Freddo, you'll continue the geek talk later - Sam interrupted
Crying Tori hugged Cat
-Don't do that ever again.. please...
-If you're going to make out just tell us and we'll leave - a voice said
Tori turned around and saw Jade standing there.
-You... how could you not tell me about this?
Jade smiled
-Because it was more fun this way -she sad with a smile
Suddenly the goth girl found herself hugged by the young Vega girl.
-wha...
-Thank you for what you did -Tori said
Everyone laughed as finally Hollywood Arts was back as the place where everyone could feel nice.
The End.
