"Sassy." Leshawna smiled, sitting in the back of the room with Gwen. Leshawna's the Assistant to the Regional Manager/Sales Representative. The sky had darkened and there was an eerie silence as the crew listened to each other. "Different." Gwen said, in a bland monotone. Next was Trent's turn, he looked at Gwen out of the the corner of his eye. "Artistic." A boom of thunder came seconds after Trent's answer. Everyone jumped out of their seats.
Harold stood up. "Nerdy." He said proudly, Harold sat down and looked over to Leshawna. She gave him an approving nod. Next came Ezekiel, Tyler and Eva. They came up a few minutes after the game started. They were Warehouse Workers along with Trent. "Cultured, eh." Ezekiel said happily, turning to Tyler. "Athletic." Tyler stated, nodding his head while he said it. "Powerful." Eva said, gritting her teeth. She does that a lot. Grit her teeth, I mean.
"Loving." Dj grinned, stroking a lump in his shirt. Chris gave him a disturbed glance, but ignored it. "Adventurous." Bridgette announced. Geoff was sitting next to her, "Party-boy." He cried, a stupid grin plastered to his face. "Organized." Courtney said, still sitting on Duncan's lap. He smirked, "Un-organized." Courtney huffed. "Nice." Beth voiced, being careful to control her lisp. There was a bright yellow streak that ran past he window, and the rain started to pelt harder to the ground.
"B-Brave." Cody said, putting out a bold-face. Heather scoffed by his side, "Popular." She said simply. Justin was silent, but the girls around the room nodded, as if understanding him completely. The guys scowled. "Pretty." Lindsay grinned. Izzy affirmed- "Energetic." "Awesome." Owen said a large smile on his face. When they reached Owen, the workers started to look around the room. "Aren't we missing two people?" Trent offered, reading everyone's mind.
As if on que two screams were heard outside the door as another bang of thunder came crashing down. The door opened, and two girls were seen panting and dripping wet. "Sorry, we're late, Chris. The smaller one said. The larger one nodded, "It's this one's fault." She pointed to the friend and burst into giggles. The other crossed her arms across her chest and pouted.
"I'm bad at directions, it's not my fault. Plus the storm didn't help." She muttered under her breath. "Katie, Sadie. Welcome, why don't you guys go.. uh.. dry up." Chris said, looking at them dripping water on his carpet. They quickly turned around and walked towards that bathroom to dry. Chris turned back to the group, he could barley see their faces with the dull candles, but as he's said before. 'They'll do.'
"So, now that we gotten to know each other.. I.. uh.." He frowned, everyone's faces glaring back at him. "I.. I'm putting.. Geoff, My Assistant, in charge." Chris said, uneasily. Leshawna stood up, a not-so-happy look on her face. "What about me?" She sassed. Chris cleared his throat, "Your the Assistant to the Regional Manager. There's a difference, Geoff is the Assistant Regional Manager." Leshawna frowned.
"Then what am I supposed to do?" She asked. "You're supposed to get y coffee." Chris shrugged. Harold stood up. "I object." He cried, everyone looked to him and he quickly seated himself again. "Whatever," Leshawna said, obviously not caring. Chris smiled. "Good then, Geoff, you're up to bat." He said, standing up, grabbing a candle and carrying it back to his office. Bridgette grinned and gave Geoff a push foreword.
He stood up before them. "Okay, um.. any suggestions?" He asked and automatically Noah's hand shot up. "I suggest we contact the spirits that are bringing this storm upon us." He said, leaning back in his chair. Geoff grunted. "Uh.. Okay. Let's 'contact the spirits'." Noah sent out a smug smile. "How do we do that?" Geoff asked eagerly. Noah shrugged, "I don't know." The gloomy sky rumbled, and the rain continued hard.
"Then any other suggestions?" Gwen slowly raised her hand. "Actually, I know how to contact the spirits." Courtney scoffed, "Oh please, we are not going to 'contact the spirits'. That's absurd." She frowned. Gwen sighed. "I'm not that supernatural, but if you guys want. I once read this article on it.." She shrugged. Trent cleared his throat loudly. "I think it's cool idea. I'm just saying, it's a good way to pass the time."
He looked over to Gwen and smiled. "Let's do it. I'm an expert on talking with the dead." Izzy exclaimed, just as Katie and Sadie walked in and took a seat next to Justin, much to Heather's dismay. "Okay, guys let's talk to the spirits." Geoff said, motioning everyone to stand up. Owen sat up like a rocket. "Yea, this is so awesome. It just reeks of awesome." He cried, Leshawna appeared by his side. "Calm down, man. I think you have enough excitement for all of us combined." She said slowly shaking her head.
The workers arranged the chairs so that they were all sitting in a circle. The candles were scattered about the room, making it seem more mystical that it really was. Beth had some perfume, that she sprayed around to make it spooky. "Why do you have perfume at work?" Heather had asked. Beth shrugged turning red with embarrassment. She half-glanced toward Cody who had tripped trying to move a wooden chair. "You never know when you want to sthmell good." She smiled and Heather stomped off.
"Princess, take seat by me." Duncan winked at Courtney, who took her time choosing a seat far from him. "No thanks, I'm fine sitting next to Eva." She turned toward her. "So, Eva. How's it going in the Warehouse." Eva looked at Courtney, and crossed her arms. "Why do you care?" She hissed. Courtney sighed. "I don't." She muttered under her breath. Duncan stood up and made his way over to her. "Are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way?" He asked, trying to look stern.
"What are you talking about?" Courtney spat, scowling at him. Duncan smirked and leaned over to her, in a flash Courtney was flipped over his shoulder, like a potato sack. She was momentarily stunned, and the group stopped talking and paid vivid attention to them. "Duncan, what the hell? Let go of me. Put me down, now." She demanded. Duncan chuckled, and walked over to his seat and placed her down in the seat next to his. He sat down and gave her a smug grin.
A loud whack was heard when Courtney hit Duncan at the chest with the back of her hand. "Don't ever do that again." She whispered angrily to him. Duncan shrugged, and wrapped his arm around her. "I asked you if you wanted the hard way or the easy way." "Well, how was I suppose to know what you meant." Courtney pouted and let Duncan keep his arm there. He looked pleasantly surprised.
"Can you believe them?" Bridgette whispered excitedly, to Geoff, from the other side of the room. He nodded. "I know, man. They're constantly going at it." He snickered. "At least Gwen and Trent are better. They don't fight." Bridgette said, nodding looking past Geoff's shoulder to Gwen and Trent, who were talking with Ezekiel and Tyler. "You know, that reminds me Bridge, um.. " Geoff started. "I just wanted... um.." Bridgette smiled eagerly at him. "Yea?" Geoff swallowed hard. "I.. uh.. do.." He was cut off. Izzy had taken center stage.
"Okay, now. Let's contact the dead." She said, in her most spooky tone that she could muster. "Oh, goodie." Heather sighed.
A/N: I don't want to get all supernatural, because personally I don't believe in that type of stuff, but I could totally imagine them all sitting around the table talking mumbo-jumbo. Oh and thanks to logicaltiger for reminding me o the few characters I missed. Today is Columbus day and I don't have school, and my parents are out, so it's just me, the dog and my brother. You guys lucked out. More reviews, please. The more I get the happier I am.
