Chapter Ten

Sing A Song Of Tricks

At the girls' cabin Gizmo was laying on her bunk crying. That's when someone came inside the cabin a girl and boy.

"Gizmo?" The boy rested a hand on Gizmo's head.

Gizmo looked up and saw Seala and Gibson. She sat up and cried more.

"Oh, Saw. It's alright." Seala said.

"No it's not! He cheated! Il est un tricheur! He is a cheater!" Gizmo shouted.

"Gizmo, I know Otto. And I've never known him to anything like this before." Gibson said.

"But he did!"

As Gibson and Seala were trying to calm down Gizmo, Otto was searching high and low for Cali Tonna, or even Ronald Fortaga.

Otto's P.O.V…

I looked all over camp for those two. And I mean, EVERYWHERE. Tell you truth, I felt weird doing this. I've never, ever felt this way before. Mad, upset, wanting to yell and scream at those two, but not toward Ronald more than I did Cali. I finally came to the Opening Jam stage to find them. I hid behind a tree listening to them talking.

"Those two will never be back together." I started recording the conversation of the two, as Sprx would say, spoiled brats.

"Yeah, you really did a number on their relationship Cali."

"Otto was so easy to trick into kissing. Having Gizmo show up was just plan luck. That video camera of yours wasn't even needed. Gizmo is such a wimp and show-off. She maybe best now, but wait until Final Jam, then I'll be the best!"

"Yeah. And Seala will be mine."

"It'll be just a kiss you moron."

"Yeah, but she likes me. I know it."

"Idiot."

"Will all Campers please report to the outside stage. Thank you!" The loud speaker said.

That's when everyone rushed to the stage and Chiro found me.

"Otto. Did you talk to her?"

"Even better. I got their conversation about the whole thing."

"Sweet. But…um…Gizmo's about to go up on stage and sing. What are you going to do?"

"I got an idea."

Gizmo's P.O.V…

I climbed on stage after the stage woman gave me my intro. I sang into the microphone.

G: Everyday is like a blank canvas/You know you paint it anyway you want it/You can draw black clouds, you can make the sunshine/Color in a rainbow, or use black and white/Open up your eyes, and your imagination/(Chorus) Come on let's write a song, a little poetry/Take a photograph, let's make some memories/You can make it anything that you want it to be/If you follow your heart, life is a work of art(End)/Ooohh, Every night's like looking at a dark screen/You're never too young or too old to dream/You can make your fantasies into a reality/Cause you're creating your own masterpiece/Close your eyes and dream it, seeing is believing/(Chorus 2x)/Trying to simplify into Philosophy/Turn one star into a Galaxy/Make a little noise into a symphony/You're creating a masterpiece/(Chorus Slow)/(Chorus 2x)/Life is a work of art (4x)

After that song I waited for the next song to start.

G: Everybody's tryin' to get to me/Every guy is out for the kill/I'm the type of girl worth pursuing/But I won't be caught standin' still/No I won't/You're throwin' all of your/attention on me/Take your best shot I bet you'll miss/You've got me interested enough to stand closer/Maybe try a little kiss/You hit the bullseye baby (You hit the bullseye baby)/Now I'm into you crazy (You know you hit the mark)/Don't know how you got me started (I'm not an easy target)/Hit it!/You hit the bullseye/You're in my heart!/I'm surprised the way you affect me/Like an arrow penetrating my heart/Naturally you seem to just get me/So obviously you're pretty smart/Ha, Ha, Ha!/I like the way you're all dressed up, messed up/I like the way you don't care/I wasn't certain that you'd ring my bell but/Then you whispered in my ear/You hit the bullseye baby (You hit the bullseye baby)/Now I'm into you crazy (You know you hit the mark)/Don't know how you got me started (I'm not an easy target)/Hit it!/You hit the bullseye/You're in my heart!/You hit my heart/You didn't ask me for my number?/Wait, you didn't ask me for my number?/Hmm./I like the fact that, you didn't ask that/'Cuz you already got my number huh?/You hit the bullseye baby (You hit the bullseye baby)/Now I'm into you crazy (You know you hit the mark)/Don't know how you got me started (I'm not an easy target)/Hit it!/Yeah, yeah, yeah/You hit the bullseye/Yeah, yeah, yeah/You hit the bullseye/Yeah, yeah, yeah/You hit the bullseye/Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah/You're in my heart/But then you cheated

After that song I walked off stage and saw Otto. He was going on next, he looked sad but determined. I ignored him and kept on walking, but he grabbed my arm.

"Gizmo I have to talk to you. Please?"

I got my arm from his grip and starred at him.

"I told you to leave me alone. Now respect that and go tell Cali whatever you were going to say." I walked away, mad but upset.

Otto's P.O.V…

I tried talking to Gizmo when she came off stage but she didn't want to talk to me. So I decide to go up on stage and show her the truth. I whispered into the speaker's ear and handed her a disc with the video recording on it. While she was setting it up, I talked to the camper.

"Hey Jammers! My name's Otto, or Mech. This song I'm going to sing is called, 'Deal With It', and it's for Gizmo, or Saw. Um…I hope you all listen, and enjoy it."

I gulped hard and took the microphone off the stand. I started singing and dancing. (Go to YouTube and look up Corbin Bleu: Deal With It for dance moves.)

O: We've been together for too long/And we've been through too much /To have the same conversations/You seem to like so much/So you gotta think I'm cheatin'/You don't listen well/I don't wanna talk girl (no)/Why don't you just tell me what I,/ What I gotta do, girl, to get through to you/So, I can ease your mind/It's all about you girl/If you don't know then you have got to/Deal with it (ohh)/I ain't tellin you no lies/Girl, Deal with it (ohh)/Tell me why you roll your eyes/Just, Deal wit it (ohh)/Cuz you know, Ain't nobody but you (ohh)/You should know, Ain't nobody but you/I don't really know what's with you/And who's been feedin' you lies (lies)/What is with the constant questions (hmm)/Girl you really haven't been actin' right/I don't thrive on attention and/I won't lead me to stray/How can I make you see/The fact of the bottom is/All that I wanna know is what I,/What I gotta do, girl/To get through to you so/I can ease your mind/It's all about you girl/If you don't know then you have got to/Deal with it (ohh)/I ain't tellin you no lies/Girl, Deal with it (ohh)/Tell me why you roll your eyes, just/Deal with it (ohh)/Cuz you know, ain't nobody but you (ohh)/You should know, ain't nobody but you/Hold on, told you more than once/And you really gotta understand girl/That every time that you wanna front/And you stop to wonder where i am/I wish you would just stop acting this way/I wish you just realize that you push me away (Actin the fool)/Nobody, nobody, nobody, but/Nobody, nobody but you girl (repeat)/[Deal with it (ohh) I ain't tellin you no lies/Girl, deal with it (ohh)/Tell me why you roll your eyes, just Deal with it (ohh)/Cuz you know, ain't nobody but you (ohh)/You should know, ain't nobody but you (repeat)] After the song, the video played and Cali's 'plan' was shown to everyone. After the video was done, I looked for Gizmo, who was no where to be found. That's when I noticed Cali was gone too. I ran to others.

"Guys, where's Cali?" I asked.

"Why?" Elella asked, I could tell she was shocked and confused.

"Because, Gizmo's gone too. I think Cali might've done something to her. Which way did she go?" I asked, I was panicking.

"I think headed toward the waterfall." Seala answered.

I ran toward the waterfall, I noticed it at the lake. When I got there, Cali was backing someone off the waterfall. The person was Gizmo! The waterfall was so high, that you could die on impact of the water.

"Go ahead. Keep walking!" Cali was shouting at her.

"Cali! Leave her alone!" I shouted.

"Otto!" Gizmo was happy to see me.

"Cali, don't do this." I said.

"I am the best of everything! But everyone thinks this snobby thing is better!" Cali hissed.

Cali pushed Gizmo and Gizmo fell off the ledge, but grabbed the edge of the cliff.

"Otto! AAHH!" Gizmo screamed.

"Cali, don't make me do this!" I had my saw out.

"Don't make you do what? Kill me? You'll get arrested and I'll be dead? Nice ending, you would think." Then Cali changed her shape into Mandra.

"Mandra! What are you doing here?" I asked.

Now I was mad, and kinda grossed out at the fact that Mandra kissed me. The next thing I know I'm hit in the back and I blacked out.

No one's P.O.V…

It was Mandarin. Mandarin had struck Otto in the back and made him fall off the cliff, but Gizmo caught his arm.

"Otto! Wake up! Please! Someone, anyone? Help!" Gizmo's grip was starting to slip. "AH! Please! Help!" Mandra had took out Gizmo's rocket pack earlier, so flying was out of the question.

"GIZMO!" Everyone ran out of the woods, but on the bottom of the waterfall. Seala had yelled.

"What is Mandra and Mandarin doing here?" Carbon asked.

That's when they transformed into Ronald (Mandarin) and Cali (Mandra).

"They've been Ronald and Cali the whole time?" Elella asked in shock.

"GROSS!" Seala shouted.

"What?" Melodie asked.

"That means Mandarin kissed me. EW, EW, EW, EW!"

Elella snickered quietly, which got a smack by Nova.

"OW!"

"AH!" Gizmo was slipping again.

"Don't worry Gizmo! We'll get you!" Carbon shouted.

"Alright team. Seala, Elella, and Melodie: Get Gizmo and Otto down from there. The rest of you: Formation Z!" Chiro said.

Then everyone flew on the waterfall. That's Gizmo's grip on Otto's arm and cliff let go.

"AAHH!" Gizmo started screaming, but no one was close enough to catch her. But someone did. Gizmo looked up and saw Otto. "OTTO!"

"Hey. Hold on Gizmo!" Otto said.

"What are you doing?"

"Do you trust me?"

"Of course. But-"

"Transform your other hand into a saw!"

"What?"

"Just do it!"

Gizmo did as told and transformed her hand into a saw.

"Now what?"

"1...2.…..3!" Otto threw Gizmo toward Mandra and Mandarin and she hit them dead on.

Gizmo tumbled into a tree, upside down, and was dizzy.

"Need a hand?"

Gizmo looked up and saw Otto. She smiled and he helped her up. But Gizmo saw Mandra and Otto fighting, that when she looked back at the one that helped her up, it was Mandarin. He punched her into the cave next to the tree. He walked into the cave and held Gizmo's head up, she was barely awake.

"You look so tried. Why don't you take a rest in here?" Mandarin said throwing her to the ground.

He kicked her before getting out of the cave and smashing the side of it to make the exit collapse.

"Gizmo!" Otto shouted.

Otto was really, really mad, now. He growled and then punched Mandra, which knocked her out. Everyone else was just waking up, they got knocked out. Otto charged toward Mandarin, flying, and hit him head on. He was painting hard of anger. Then he relaxed.

"Gizmo? Can you hear me? Gizmo?" Otto shouted.

"She's gone, fool."

Mandra had grabbed Otto from around the neck and started choking him.
