Hey all! I updated really quickly, did I not? Anyone see the So Random premiere? It was so weird seeing the show for real. I also enjoyed watching The Nine Lives of Chloe King. That show is pretty cool as well. School is out, and summer is here! Except the weather is all wacko. I'd also like to thank all the people who have reviewed so far. These people are: You Wanna Know Me, GirlTech101, Ashley, TVDTSCHANNY, SeelieIt'sMe, Rex, channylover9753, and an unnamed review. You guys really make my day! Thanks so much!
Disclaimer: Well, I was walking along a beach the other day when I found the SWAC rights just lying on the ground! I ran to retrieve them when a wave came and swept it away. Therefore, I don't have the rights. And it makes me sad. :(
"What do we do now?" Portlyn asked, dusting herself off and checking her nails. "We have nowhere to go, no way to survive, we can't do anything!"
Sonny and Chad both looked around, finding a safe looking rock to sit on. Unfortunately for them, their rocks were both the same. The two attempted to sit on it, but it wasn't large enough for the two. "Get off!" Sonny yelled at the boy. "I saw it first! This rock is mine."
"No!" He responded smugly. "The rock is mine." He gazed into her eyes with a kind expression on his face, causing the brunette to forget what she was doing for a moment. He took this time to attempt to steal the rock from under her.
She then realized what was going on, and made a fuss attempting to get the rock back. "Hey! You can't do that!" She screamed at him. Running back to it, the girl grabbed his arms and attempted to push him off. Chad couldn't help but notice that he felt a tingle in his arm, like whenever else she did such. The blonde looked over at the arm, giving Sonny enough of a chance to push him slightly off and take the seat.
The rest of the fight was a jumble of yelling, "It's mine!" or screaming, "Give it back!" like two children. The argument ended when the two bumped heads. They looked up at each other, blushed, then looked up at the rest of the group who had begun to laugh at their childish endeavors to get a silly rock.
Sonny then took this time to get back to her throne when she noticed writing on it. "Hey guys! There's something on this!" She called out to them. The brunette curiously looked at it and read what was on it aloud.
The fortune of your future awaits,
After these deadly coming fates.
The triumph of these events shall not last,
For someone will end it before it has past.
This story shows itself to only you,
It will give you instructions on what you must do.
It all started in downtown of a famous place,
Where millions of stars have shown their face.
"What a stupid rhyme." A Meal or No Meal girl said, laughing.
Chad looked back at the rock, curiously. "I think we should follow it. I mean, it's better than sitting around pouting about our possible death." The rest of the group looked at him, shocked. At first, he was the most skeptic of the event. Now he wanted to follow something to stop it? "It is what Mr. Condor wanted us to do. Maybe he was right! The entire world is being engulfed by storms. Some of our friends just got killed. The least we can do is go see what this stupid rock is talking about."
"It'll be fun!" Sonny announced. "It'll be like a scavenger hunt. Maybe there'll be Cocoa Mocha Cocoa." Tawni and Portlyn looked at each other, excited.
"We're in!" They said in unison.
Nico looked skeptical. "What if it's a trap? Or what if it's just too dangerous? Downtown probably isn't the safest place to be during all these…" The rumbling of the ground shook the group, and stopped the fedora wearing dude from what he was saying. It stopped quickly, but the small earthquake frightened everybody. "Earthquakes and storms." He finished.
Zora then chimed in. "I think we should do it. There's no reason why we can't."
Nico sighed, knowing he was defeated. Chloe stood up. "So it's settled! We'll all go on the treasure hunt to find the Cocoa Mocha Cocoa!"
"Let's get moving!" Portlyn yelled.

The trek back to the city was getting harder. The storm clouds flowed into the sky like milk, and trees swayed like Hula dancers. "I'll keep on checking the weather on my Smartphone as we go along." A teen gladiator volunteered. No one objected to that. They were all getting more and more frightened; thunderstorms would quickly run by them and occasionally the ground would rumble.
"When will we get there?" Julia, a Meal or No Meal girl complained. "My feet are tired and I don't want to get my new sweatpants dirty." Everyone groaned. They were sick of her constant complaining. It gets tiring after a while, and soon enough you'd just love to punch them.
Suddenly, Nico yelled out, "Where's Grady?" The group stopped.
"What do you mean, weren't you walking with him?" Joey, one of the smaller teen gladiators asked.
"W-w-well, I was." Nico stuttered, shocked by the realization his best friend was gone. "But we didn't talk for about five minutes, because we were trying to keep up. I turned around to ask him a question and he was gone! I think I lost him."
"How do you lose a person?" Chad asked.
Sonny cut the boys off. "Let's go find him before it's too late! Everyone spread out. Stick with your cast and we'll meet back here." The four remaining groups did as told. So Random spread out back in the direction they came.
"We better find him!" Zora told her group. She began to run, and everyone else did too.
"Grady! Grady! Where did you go?" They screamed at the top of their lungs, still running back to where they last saw him. Tawni tripped over a branch and fell sideways into a bush. They didn't notice until they heard her scream.
Sonny sighed. "Great, we lost Tawni now too."
"I told you it was easy to lose a person." Nico argued.
They backtracked until they found Tawni curled up on the ground, tears forming in her eyes. "I found Grady." She mumbled, and pointed into the bushes.
The blonde was in fact there, sputtering for air. "Grady!" Nico cried out, lying at his friend's side. "Stay with me buddy!" He pleaded, but it was too late. He took his last breath, and then all went still. His eyes became dull and lifeless, and when Sonny checked his pulse, there was none. Tears filled the remaining cast member's eyes. Zora picked up her cell phone and dialed the rest of the groups.
"Yes, we found him." She said into her phone sadly. "Uh-huh, we'll see you back there. Okay, bye."
Not too long later, the So Random group had finished dragging Grady's body into the clearing where the rest of the groups stood. A hush fell over the crowd, followed by multiple gasps.
"What happened?" Devon asked. "He was with us practically the entire time! A storm couldn't have killed him."
"We found that out too." Zora replied, showing the body to everyone to reveal two gunshot wounds in his chest, as well as another two in his back. "Somehow, he was murdered."
*Falls off of chair* WOAH! I did not expect that! Well, of course I did, I wrote it. I had it planned out! Now, review if you liked it! Review if you didn't like it! Just press that little blue button!
