I'm hooome! =D
The idea for this chapter was given to me by bookgirl107! So thank you!
"Damn!" Quinn said, sticking his head in Evelynn's computer room, covered in slime. "I thought you were going to be gone longer!
"Yeah, sorry." Evelynn said sarcastically. "And nice." She gestured to the slime then continued to read Return, the awesome story buy her awesome beta reader, Rozu.
"Thanks." Quinn snarled. "Now I'm going to go find Ash and rip his head off." Quinn disappeared around the corner.
Ash crawled out from under Eve's desk. "Thanks. Now I'm going to go hid from Quinn some more." Ash went in the opposite direction from Quinn.
"Chicken!" Evelynn called after him and then noticed something on her desk.
"Snake!" Evelynn screamed, running out of her computer room.
Ash slid back into the room and picked up the rubber snake, laughing to himself. "Pay back for tattling on me to Mare when I said she wasn't going to own the Night World." Ash put the snake in his pocket and Quinn appeared in the doorway.
"You!" Quinn shouted running.
"Shit!" Ash cursed and jumped out the window… Again.
Okay, here's the chapter!
"Okay kids. Today we'll be learning about a very special holiday today." Ms. Elizabeth told her sleepy students on Monday. All week, this Thanksgiving Week, they were learning all about the pilgrims and Indians.
Lucky had had the wonderful (-insert biting sarcasm here-) idea that the kids could dress up like the pilgrims and Indians and re-enact the first Thanksgiving.
"I should stake you for even coming up with such a ridiculous idea." Ms. Elizabeth had told Lucky darkly with a teddy bear in her hand.
"What?" Thierry asked before the guys could say something stupid.
"Thanksgiving." Ms. Elizabeth answered.
"Yeah, because I have so much to be thankful for. Three sisters, all insane in their own special way." Ash said, earning glares from his sisters and a rain check on a punch from Kestrel.
Ms. Elizabeth rolled her eyes and continued on with the lesson of Christopher Columbus and all that boring stuff.
"That would be so cool if we could dress up and re-enact the first Thanksgiving!" Hannah said excitedly; she liked playing dress up.
Lucky chuckled and Ms. Elizabeth addressed the class, "Who else would like to do that?"
Most of the girls hands went up and Jez, Keller, and Rashel screamed "No!" and "Don't do it!"
A couple of the guys hands went up and the rest of the guys stared at them.
"What? It sounds fun." Eric said, his hand still in the air.
"Yeah, we get to have fun all day and not learn anything!" Mark agreed.
"Hm… Not learning anything… Like we do now!" Ash pondered it and finally put his hand up.
"Really Ash? You of all people…" James shook his head.
"C'mon Jamie! It will be so much fun!" Poppy smiled widely and James put his hand in the air to please Poppy.
"Yeah!" Poppy squealed.
"Really James? You of all people." Ash quoted sourly.
"Someone's in a foul mood." Mary-Lynnette muttered, her own hand down.
"No one says 'foul' anymore." Ash told her.
"Really? I heard it's quiet common in England." Mary-Lynnette replied, reading her picture book.
"Says who?"
"Says Harry Potter!"
"That tattooed wizard dude who goes to Pigfarts or something like that?" Ash asked.
(AN: I LOVE A VERY POTTER MUSICAL! It's the most hilarious thing you will EVER see EVER! It's on YouTube! :D)
Mary-Lynnette rolled her eyes, "Hogwarts, and yes."
"Oh. It sounds stupid."
"You're stupid."
"OMG this is going to be so much fun!" Iliana squealed.
"OMG?" Morgead asked, getting ready to rip Iliana's throat out for not shutting up!
"It stands for "Oh, my Goddess" go out in the world some time would yeah?" Blaise explained.
Morgead snarled and grinned when Iliana flinched.
"Wait, 'Goddess'?" Iliana asked Blaise, tilting her head.
(Oh lalala! we love designer! Why are all Lady Gaga songs so damn chatty? Fashion!… SOS she's in disguise, SOS she's in disguise, Shakira FTW!)
Jeremy smirked a little, knowing he could really growl and Ash wanted to punch him sooo bad.
"Calm." Mary-Lynnette whispered, not even needing to look at him to know Ash was pissed.
"Only when I get to break his nose." Ash muttered darkly.
Mary-Lynnette gave him the You-Will-Do-No-Such-Thing look.
"I can't believe we're really doing this." Rashel said with her head on her desk.
"Ms. Elizabeth hasn't said we're really going too." Quinn tried to console his "wife" "wedded" to him by Ash (Of all people in the class, ASH!) and a planet.
"Yeah, you're right, but most of the hands are up!" Rashel lifted her head only to let it fall on the desk again.
"Don't you think this will be fun Thierry?" Hannah asked animatedly, leaning forward in her seat to get a better look at Thierry.
"Sure." Thierry said, looking intently at his paper, know if they went through with it, it would be a huge disaster.
"You're hand isn't up." Hannah noted in a dangerous tone.
"Well, I do think it will be fun… For a while." Thierry turned around to look at Hannah fully. "Jez, Morgead, Quinn, Rashel, and Ash are all free because Ms. Elizabeth and Lucky will be too busy with costumes and preparing everything."
Hannah's gray eyes went wide and her hand lowered. "Oh, goodness. They'd burn the place down!"
"Exactly." Thierry nodded.
"You're really smart." Hannah praised and then looked down, blushing.
"Ohh, looks like Hannah and Thierry's wedding is next!" Jez laughed loud enough for everyone to hear.
Thierry and Hannah blushed and Ash looked at them as if expecting him to marry them now.
"Hey, Mare, can I borrow you're star book?" Ash asked.
"Okay, two things. First; when did you start calling me Mare? And second; absolutely not!" Mary-Lynnette replied, getting her book out of her desk and holding it to her chest.
"Or is Ash and Mary-Lynnette's next?" Morgead laughed just to annoy the two.
"What?" Jeremy snarled.
Mary-Lynnette blushed red and Ash grinned at Jeremy, wanting to piss him off as much as Jeremy peeved Ash.
"I think Hannah and Thierry's sounds good." Rowan said, giving her brother a warning look.
"Aw, Rowan! Things were just about to get gooood!" Morgead grinned, knowing that Jeremy and Ash were really going to kill each other fighting over Mare. And then she'd end up with someone else and leave the guys to kick themselves in their graves.
On that lovely (eye-roll) note, Ms. Elizabeth, who had been talking with Lucky about the idea, announced that yes, there would be a Thanksgiving reenactment.
Some kids cheered, and others jeered.
"I don't know about you, but I'm going to be sick that day." Delos informed Maggie.
"Oh, come on!" Maggie giggled, "It will be fun!"
"Yeah, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt." Muttered her Royal Protectenator.
"Oh, Delos, no one is going to get hurt." Maggie smiled.
"Maggie." Delos turned around and looked her in the eye. "Do you know this class?"
Maggie laughed and waved a hand at him dismissively. "You're just expecting the worst."
"I tend to do that when my family is involved with things."
"C'mon Delos! How bad can they be?" Maggie asked.
Delos looked her in the eye again. "Ash pushed me in my bathtub which he filled with apple juice, dyed my favorite blazer yellow, and wrote on my face while I was sleeping. Morgead, though he's technically not my family, slapped me awake at three in the morning for a straight two weeks, put pink stripes in the yellow blazer, dyed all my socks neon green, and wrote stupid stuff on my walls. Jez, and I played catch and she always threw the ball, well… you can guess, she ripped the head off my favorite stuffed animal from Italy, and she burned my second favorite blazer."
Maggie stared at Delos, looking shocked but not surprised.
"Oh, and Quinn never comes over and James never does anything bad." Delos added in an afterthought.
"Wow." Maggie said.
"Yeah." Delos nodded.
"Hey," Galen said, joining the conversation, "At least Ash didn't put chlorine in you're hair and make it green for days, and Morgead didn't smash your bedroom window, and Jez didn't try to burn your books, and James didn't try to make you listen to every genre of music."
"Wow, I'd hate to have your family." Maggie said.
"Yeah…" Galen trailed off and turned back to Keller, attempting to now tell her he really likes her.
"So… Keller…"
Really Galen? This again?
That Thursday was when the re-enactment was scheduled and each kid was required to bring something.
That Thursday the student's filled into the classroom to find a lady no one knew in Ms. Elizabeth's chair.
"Hello students! My name is Mrs. Carly and I will be you're substitute today!" The woman said cheerfully.
"Substitute?" Morgead asked is disbelief.
"Yes, you're teacher wasn't feeling well today." Mrs. Carly explained.
"Oh, that new car in the parking lot is yours." Ash said calmly.
"Yes, it is." Mrs. Carly said, her blonde brow furrowing.
"It's on fire." Ash lied smoothly.
"What?" Mrs. Carly ran out of the room.
"Quick! Someone lock the door!" Ash commanded, but Morgead was already on it.
"We are bad." Ash leaned back in his chair after hearing the satisfying click.
"We are." Morgead gave Ash a high five on his way back to his desk.
"You guys are going to get in so much trouble!" Gillian said.
"We are not." Ash said confidently.
"Are too!"
"Are not!"
Mrs. Carly walked back into the building. Her car was not on fire and she was going to give that little punk detention.
Carly went to open the door, but it was locked. She felt her pockets and realized her keys were on the desk in the classroom.
"Hey, Leigh, I'm locked out of the classroom, can I have a spare." Mrs. Carly asked the receptionist, whose desk was positioned right in between the first two classrooms.
"Sorry, Carly, you have the spare. How'd you get locked out?" Leigh replied.
"Some kid told me my car was on fire." Mrs. Carly said bitterly.
"Yeah, Elizabeth said something like that would happen. She said those kids are a real handful." Leigh said, taking a sip of her coffee.
"I'm going to see it one of the kids is tall enough to unlock the door." Carly said and began walking.
"Okay, good luck." Leigh called after her.
Mrs. Carly knocked on the door to the classroom, looking through the glass at the kids. "Can one of you unlock the door?" She called.
Looks of confusion crossed some of the children's expressions.
"The door!" Carly called, tugging on the handle.
A dark haired green-eyed girl got up and crossed the room. She stood on her tiptoes but she wasn't tall enough.
The girl shrugged and went back to her seat. Others tried but no one was tall enough.
Suddenly, Mrs. Carly had an idea. She disappeared outside again and came around the back. She opened the door leading to the playground.
"I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner!" She said.
Mrs. Carly introduced herself formally to the class after putting the room key in her pocket.
Before lunch the students all took their desks outside and Mrs. Carly and a few volunteer parents put table clothes on the makeshift table while the student's got ready.
Pilgrims: Poppy, Ash, Jade, Rowan, Thea, Eric, Gillian, Quinn, (xD Hahahaha!) Thierry, Hannah, Delos, Maggie, Galen, and Iliana.
Indians: James, Jeremy, Mary-Lynnette, Mark, Kestrel, David, Rashel, Jez, Morgead, Keller, and Blaise.
The kids all in their costumes gathered around the table which had a really Thanksgiving meal on it! Turkey, potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and all that good stuff.
"Oh, you two look so adorable!" Mrs. Carter said, hugging her two children close.
"Mom!" Mark whined and Mary-Lynnette giggled.
"Wow, Quinn, that costume really fits you." Rashel observed.
"Yeah, it does." Thierry agreed.
"Freaky." James said.
The students all sat down at the table and Morgead picked up the mashed potatoes.
"I can't help it!" Morgead exclaimed and flung a handful of potato in Jez's hair.
Jez took the cranberry sauce and shoved it in Morgead's face.
David jumped on the table and yelled, "Food fight!"
Ash took advantage of the "fight" part and jumped at Jeremy.
Ms. Elizabeth suddenly came out back, looking paler then usual with dark bags under her eyes and a scarf around her throat. She looked at the fight and groaned, regretting coming to school at all, even if she did leave her phone in her desk.
Later that same day…
"Hey, Morgead, where'd you get the phone?" Jez asked, gesturing to the cell in Morgead's bag.
Morgead just snickered and shook his dark head.
Hey! I'm home! :]
Sorry, I got a little lazy writing the end xP but it is 2:30… So sorry!
