Chapter Sixteen
Voulez-Vous
The next day, the boys were getting dressed and ready for breakfast, except for Otto who was already dressed.
"Hey Otto. It's pancake day for breakfast. You ready to go?" Blaze asked.
"Nah. I'm not hungry." Otto answered.
Everyone stopped moving and starred at Otto.
"Did you just say…you're not hungry?" Sprx asked.
"Yeah. I just don't feel hungry. It's weird." Otto said.
"Maybe you're more upset about Saw than we all thought." Antauri said.
"Maybe. …You guys go on ahead. I'm gonna go around camp." Otto said walking out of the cabin.
"Man. I didn't even know Otto couldn't be hungry." Blaze said.
"Us either." The others said.
Outside the cabin…
"Otto!" A voice called.
Otto looked and saw Cali.
"What do you want?" Otto asked.
"I just wanted to say sorry about you and Gizmo."
"Yeah right. Leave me alone." Otto said as he started walking away.
"Oh come on Otto. Mandarin…I mean Ronald, my not like you, but I do. Why waste your time wallowing in pity for that green monkey when you can have me?" Cali said.
"I said leave me alone!" Otto said a little loud.
"Oh, come on Otto. Just give me a chance."
"No! GO AWAY!" Otto shouted.
"Just a small chance?"
"I SAID GO AWAY!" Otto screamed.
Then he walked away. Cali/Mandra didn't follow, she just stood there in shock.
"Did it work?" A boy's voice asked.
"Yes. The plan is working perfectly, Mandarin."
"Good."
"The wobble of the tight-rope was genius Mandarin. Now nothing can stop us from breaking the others' spirits." Cali said.
"Yes. Well, who should we go after next?"
"Let's go after those two soulful ones. Ying and Yang (Antauri and Melodie)."
"Great idea, but how?" Ronald/Mandarin asked.
Back in the Mess Hall…
The boys entered the Mess Hall to sit with the girls.
"Hey." Seala said.
"Hey." Gibson said.
Gibson went in for a kiss but was stopped by Seala's hand.
"What?" Gibson asked.
"Not in front of you-know-who." Seala whispered.
Gizmo looked up from her tray, she wasn't eating either.
"Chem, it's fine. I want you to happy. I don't care if you kiss Brainic in front of me."
"Gizmo, I don't want to. I'm afraid it'll make you-you know."
Gizmo slammed her hand on the table.
"I don't care! I broke up with him! I don't feel guilty about it at all! I honestly don't care!" Gizmo screamed, then she walked out of the Mess Hall.
"Whoa." Elella said.
"She was lying." Melodie said.
"What?" Chiro asked, confused about Melodie's statement.
"Gizmo, was lying about not caring. She loves Otto. Why wouldn't she care about the break up? And, plus, Gizmo wouldn't go on an angry scream like that unless she felt guilty." Melodie answered.
No one spoke.
At the lake…
"*sigh* I wish she would love me again." Otto said to himself.
*Rustle, rustle, rustle*
Otto sighed and played with the sand.
"Mandra, if that's you, then go away!" Otto shouted.
"Otto?"
Otto turned around and saw Gizmo.
"Gizmo? What you doing here?" Otto said standing up.
"Me? I was just going to-"
"Toss pebbles?"
"Yeah. How you know?"
"That's what I was doing."
Gizmo sat down on the ground and started tossing pebbles in the water.
"Hey, do you know how to skip pebbles?" Otto asked.
"What?"
"Do you know how to skip pebbles?"
"No. Why?"
"Wanna learn?"
"Sure." Gizmo stood up.
"Alright. So, grab a flat pebble." They both picked up a flat pebble. "Good. Now you just snap your wrist back and snap it forward to get it to skip."
Otto demonstrated and made the pebble skip five times.
"Wow. Your good."
"Thanks. Now you try."
Gizmo tried and didn't succeed.
"I didn't do it."
"Try again." Otto handed her another pebble. "But this time snap your wrist." Otto got in front of her and held her wrist so he could show her. "Like this." He folded the wrist over and over.
Gizmo started blushing.
"Um…I think I got it. Thanks."
"Oh, alright."
Otto stepped away and let Gizmo try again. Gizmo tried again and got it.
"I did it! I did it! Oh my gosh!" Gizmo hugged Otto and kissed him. After a second she pulled away. "Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean-"
"It's alright. Um…good job."
"Um…thanks."
"Wanna go back to camp?"
"Uh… no thanks."
"Okay. Um…see you later?"
"Yeah. And that kiss? It never happened."
"Um…right."
Otto disappeared into the bushes, leaving Gizmo alone.
"What was that?" The two thought.
Back at camp (6 o'clock)…
Everyone was at the flag pole sitting around and talking. Starr and Melissa were there too.
"Hey everyone." Otto said as he walked over.
"Hey. Where were you?" Nova asked.
"At the lake. Tossing pebbles. Thinking."
"Thinking? About what?" Starr asked.
"Gizmo."
"You got Gizmo on the brain my friend." Melodie said.
"Yeah."
"Hey. Cheer up. Let's have a party!" Elella said.
"What for?" Seala asked.
"Just to cheer Otto up."
"Hmm…that's not a bad idea." Melodie said.
"It's not?" Carbon asked.
"Hey. I make good parties."
"Yeah. Like my fifth birthday party." Carbon said.
"Hey. That was not my fault. That was Sean's. He knocked over the cake."
"Uh-huh. Sure it was."
"IT WAS!"
"Alright you two. That's enough."
"Sorry Melodie."
Later that night, around the camp fire…
"Come on Gizmo. It'll be fun." Elella was pulling Gizmo.
"No, Sky. I wanna be alone."
"Come on."
"No, no, no. Don't make me, please?"
Gizmo stopped Elella when she saw Otto being pulled as well.
"Oh no. No, no, no. I see what you doing. No way! I'm out!" Gizmo tried to run the other way, but Elella grabbed Gizmo and, literary, dragged Gizmo to the camp fire.
"Alright Campers! Let's get this Camp fire started!"
Everyone started dancing in partners, and Otto and Gizmo were put together.
Campers (Not Otto and Gizmo): People everywhere/A sense of expectation/Hanging in the air/Giving out a spark/Across the room/Your eyes are glowing in the dark/And here we go again/We know the start/We know the end/Masters of the scene/We've done it all before/And now we're back/To get some more/You know what I mean/Voulez-vous/Take it now or leave it/Now is all we get/Nothing promised/No regrets/Voulez-vous/Ain't no big decision/You know what to do/La question/C'est voulez-vous/Voulez-vous/
"Otto, I'm sorry!"
"What? I can't hear you!"
"I said, 'I'm sorry'! I didn't mean to hurt you! Voulez-vous take me back?"
"What?"
"Never mind."
Campers (Not Otto and Gizmo): And here we go again/We know the start/We know the end/Masters of the scene/We've done it all before/And now we're back/To get some more/You know what I mean/Voulez-vous/Take it now or leave it/Now is all we get/Nothing promised/ No regrets/Voulez-vous/Take it now or leave it/Now is all we get/Nothing promised/No regrets/Voulez-vous/Ain't no big decision
The song was still going.
"Gizmo, you don't look to good! You wanna sit down?" Otto asked.
"I'm fine!"
Voulez-vous!
As soon as the campers said that, Gizmo fell over.
"GIZMO!" Otto shouted.
"Oh dear. Gizmo? Sweety?" Seala asked seeing if she was alright.
"What's wrong with her?" Starr asked.
"She fainted." Seala answered.
"Fainted? How?" Melissa asked.
"I don't know." Seala said.
"Huh? Mom?" Gizmo was very weak.
"I'm right here Gizmo." Melodie said kneeling on the ground.
"I don't feel to good."
"Don't speak Sweety."
"What happened?"
"You fainted. You haven't eaten in days. You're probably very weak."
Gizmo closed her eyes again.
"Gizmo?" Gizmo fainted again. "Gizmo? GIZMO?" Melodie started freaking out.
"Melodie. Calm down." Blaze, Elella, and Carbon pulled Melodie away.
Lea rushed over and brought Gizmo to the infirmary.
The next day, in the infirmary…
Otto, Melodie, and Antauri all slept on the chairs in the waiting room. Lea walked in and woke them up.
"Dearies? Wake up." Everyone woke up.
"What time is it?" Otto asked.
"It's ten o'clock. And someone's awake. She wants to see you three." Lea answered.
Otto shot up from his sit and wanted to walk into the back room but was scared. Then someone's hand rested on his shoulder.
"She wants to see you. Come on." Melodie said.
"Oh, alright." Otto said.
They walked to the back room. Gizmo was sitting up on her bed and eating some cereal.
"Gizmo? Dreary? You have some visitors." Lea said.
Gizmo looked at who was there to see her.
"Yang! Ying! Hi!" Gizmo said.
"Come on in. It's okay." Lea said.
Otto looked around the corner and walked in.
"Hi Saw." Otto greeted.
"Oh, hi Mech.
There was an awkward silence in the room.
"Wow. You two have some real vocab. I can hardly keep up." Melodie said.
Gizmo giggled.
"Good one Melodie. You sounded just like Elella."
"Thank you. Thank you. I'll be here all week." Melodie said bowing.
Everyone laughed. Then there was another awkward silence.
"Come on Melodie. Let's go tell the others that Gizmo has woken up." Antauri said, winking at Melodie.
"Huh? Oh, oh, right. Everyone will be thrilled to hear the news. Um…Lea? Please show us out?" Melodie said.
"Alright, this way."
Otto started following, when Lea stopped him.
"Oh, I need someone to watch Gizmo while I go get some more food for her. Will you be a dear and watch her please?"
"Uh…sure. I'll watch her."
"Oh, thank you. Now she's not allowed out of bed, under any matter. Got it?"
"Aye aye chief."
"Great. Thank you again!" Lea said walking out.
Otto walked back into the room where Gizmo was.
"Hey. Where's Lea?" Gizmo asked without even looking.
"Went to get more food for you. I'm supposed to watch you and make sure nothing happens to you." Otto answered.
"Really? Okay." Gizmo was flipping through channels on the TV.
"What cha doing?" Otto asked.
"Looking for a show to watch."
Otto watched as the channels were flipped through. Then Gizmo landed on one. It was something in French so he couldn't understand it. But it was kind of SOAP Opera.
"What's this about?" Otto asked.
"About a um…a girl and boy. They feel guilty about not telling the other how they feel."
"Hmm…" Otto watched in silence.
At the lake…
Antauri was waiting for Melodie. Then he heard a noise from the bushes.
"Melodie?"
"Ow! Oh, you-! Ow!" And out from the bushes came Cali/Mandra and Ronald/Mandarin.
Me: CLIFF HANGER! Sorry everyone. Wait until next chapter. Antauri goes all OOCness on us.
Antauri: I go what?
Me: You'll see. And I only found out that Mandarin and Mandra have the first four letters of my name! I hate that! And I don't like my name being part of bad guys' names!
Chiro: You're evil.
Me: I am not!
Chiro: Yes you are.
Me: No I am not.
Chiro: Yes you are.
Me: Am not!
Chiro: Are too!
Me: Am not!
Chiro: Are too!
Me: Am not!
Chiro: Are too!
Melodie: ENOUGH! This is going no where. Sheesh! What am I? A referee?
*Everyone's freaked out.*
Elella: So, here's the chapter question.
What's Voulez-vous mean? You can NOT use the internet. But you can use your family/friends/or books, your family and friends can NOT go on the internet for you. And the book can't be on the computer either. You must state where you got your answers from.
R&R Please! Thank you!
