Best Friends: Smell Like Trouble
Sky's POV
Me and Benny walked into the school. We were finally okay and were friends again. I was glad to have him back into my life. To be honest, Benny was the only one I know who defeated Super Dead Guys 12. Rory and Ethan were still on the Level 82 and I'm on Level 87.
"So you go to the homepage and triple click X and if you wait 1 minute without doing anything, a code bar will show up on the screen. Click A, B, X and A again and BOOM! Free Sword of the Dark with all upgrades!" Benny exclaimed. "Then on Level 87, you can destroy the Zombie King in seconds! Just 3 hits and BAM! Instant awesomeness!" I smile. "FINALLY! That is gonna be so useful in the boss level. Even in multiplayer!" I pretend to act surprised. "Where did that Sword of Dark come from?" He laughs. "ME!"
We laugh; we could be dorks sometimes.
But let's get real; we always act like dorks anyway.
We drop by our lockers as Benny started to talk once more. "Hey, what did you get for the Math homework for question 4? I got 6.60= Length." I smile. "Yeah, if you divide 62.7 by 9.5, you get 6.6. Benny, a 7th grader could do this; what have you been doing?" He blushes. "Playing Super Dead Guys...13" I gasp. "No way, they made another one?! Now how am I gonna get the time to play that?! I still have 13 levels left?! That is madness!" We laugh as we walk to class. I smile.
Our days were in the good direction.
Or so we thought.
Ethan's POV
I watch Sky and Benny laugh.
I smiled.
I smiled as I think of the plan, the plan playing over and over again. I pull out my phone and I smile as I call a certain someone.
I smile as the voice I'm waiting for crackled on the phone. I smile as I start to talk to her.
"Hello? Yes the potion is ready...no we did not add lavender...yeah Rory mixed the ingredients...yes it's safe to trust him...okay we promise...yeah your welcome...I know, those people should've hooked up by now...okay thanks Mrs. Weir. Bye!" I smile as I hang up.
I smile as I see Sarah walk up to me. She smiles when she sees me.
"Hey Ethan! Whatcha doing?" I smile.
"Helping my two closest friends." She watched me watch Sky and Benny walk into the distance. She frowns.
"I don't want to be rude... but aren't you even a little upset? I mean, they spend more time together than you do with Benny. You are his best friend; it is like you are a third wheel." I smile when she says that.
"That's exactly what I am; a third wheel." She frowns in confusion. "I don't get it." I smile.
"I didn't want to act mean, but those two need to hook up. They are my closest friends, and they both feel the same way for each other. They are in denial, and I need to help them. Even Mrs. Weir thinks it's a good idea. I mean; she even approved my plan" She sighs. "Okay, cut to the chase; what are you trying to say?" I smile.
"What I am trying to say that once they hook up, I'll have my best friend back."
I walk off, my mind finishing off my plan.
I smile.
*Time Skip* *Time Skip* *Time Skip*
Third Person POV
"Okay, are we all good?" Everyone nodded as Sarah sighed. "Okay guys, do you really think this a good idea? I mean, we can't force them into love." Ethan sighed. "Okay, for one, we are not forcing them into love. With this spell and no lavender, it becomes a love-revealing spell." Erica nodded.
"Yeah, once they are exposed to the perfume Rory mixed into the potion, a mini meter will pop up above their head to show if they are in love or not. If they are, which is very likely, we'll make our next move. The potion won't affect them." Erica explained. Sarah on the other hand, still looked unsure.
"I've been hearing a lot about this 'don't add lavender' stuff. Why is it so important?"
"Well, lavender is like...something to use when you want to reverse something in one potion." Ethan explained. Erica continued. "Yeah, if you add the lavender, the spell becomes a spell that will make them will love each other for the same time as they'll hate each other." Sarah raised an eyebrow. "What?" Ethan continued.
"The lavender will make them literally love each other for say...6 hours. Then the lavender will then reverse that and turn it into a hatred spell. They will hate each other for 6 hours." Sarah nodded in understanding. Erica continued. "We even added a piece of their hair so no one else gets affected; it'll be just them." Sarah opens her mouth to question the statement as Ethan shuts it, "Don't ask." She nodded. "How do you even make it anyway?" Ethan smiled. "Well, I knew you'd ask, so I photo copied the note I gave Rory." He pulls out a paper as Sarah reads it.
How to make the Love-Revealing Potion:
1. Don't add lavender
2. Mix in the snail urine.
3. Drop in the two hair samples.
4. Add any scent and bottle it up. Be careful not to be exposed to it. The spell should last a few seconds.
Don't screw up Rory
~E
Sarah nodded in understanding.
"Okay, I get it. That actually a smart plan." Ethan and Erica smiled as Rory started to grin. "It's 9:00 am; I'm gonna spray them before classes start. Seeya!" Rory zoomed off before anyone could protest. A small piece of paper flew out of his bag. Erica picked it up and read it. She had a look of fear written on her face as she zoomed off. Sarah and Ethan frown as they read the fallen note. They gasp as they read it.
Don't forget to add Benny and Sky's favorite scent; vanilla with a hint of lavender.
They run off to find their blonde friend
Benny's POV
I glance at my watch. It's 9; school is gonna start in 5 minutes. I am with Sky at my locker. She talked about video games as I fiddle with my thumbs. Okay, you went over this last night. You got this. I sigh as courage built up inside me.
"Uh, S-Sky? I need t-to tell y-you that I-I..." Suddenly, Rory jumped out of nowhere in a hazmat suit. He cut me off as Sky and I scream in surprise. He yelled.
"Seeya lovebirds!" He sprayed some type of perfume at me and runs off. I see Ethan, Erica and Sarah a few meters from us, masks on their faces. I gesture a confused look at them and they shrugged; looking scared. Sky yelled.
"Wait, what the hell?!"
The air was then filled with a magnificent smell. I took a big whiff of it and smiled; I felt relaxed. My nose continued to follow the smell as I realize where it is most strong at. It smelt stronger near...
Sky.
I smiled. Sky suddenly looks so much more...attractive! Not like she wasn't in the start... My thoughts rambled as I am lost for words. I could tell that Sky somewhat felt the same way.
"Mmmm...Sky? Did you put on a vanilla-lavender perfume? It smells..like...really good." She smiled. "R-Really? I can smell that on you! And your right; it smells fantastic!"
We smile, two goofy smiles etched to our faces.
Suddenly, I felt a warm, cozy sensation in my heart. It was filled with love for the girl in front of me. I smile as I run my fingers through her golden blonde hair.
"Hey." I smiled as she smiles back.
"Hey!" She smiles seductively. "I need to tell you something." She nods, gesturing me to continue on.
"I-I love you." I magically conjure up a bouquet of flowers and give it to her. She giggles. "R-Really? I do to Benny. I love you!" Then we do it.
We kiss.
It was passionate and sweet and it was filled with emotion. We stop after a few seconds later, smiles on our faces. I grin.
"Be mine." I hand her the flowers as she nods eagerly; a smile written on her face.
"Okay!" We walk off, hand in hand. I smile.
Today was a good day.
*Time Skip* *Time Skip* *Time Skip*
Ethan's POV
We take off our masks. Sarah trembled in fear.
"We all saw that right?! We all frickin' saw that right?!" We all nod. "I am freaking out right now, I seriously think that the plan did not work out!" I exclaim. Rory runs up to us, taking off his yellow mask.
"Okay guys, I didn't see love meters, but I'm pretty sure you could imagine cartoon hearts floating around them and I-"
Erica did the honors of slapping him. He yelps in pain. "OW! You are so lucky I'm a vampire and I couldn't feel that...sorta..." She growls.
"How? How hard is it to follow instructions?!" He frowned as he thought. "N-Not that hard...?" I bang my head against the wall as everyone groans.
"You out lavender." I moan. "RORY! It was number 1 on the lost; DON'T PUT DAMN LAVENDER! Now they'll hate us...AND EACH OTHER!" I almost yell as he weakly smiles. "F-For 6 hours...?" Sarah sighs. "How much did you put in?" He weakly smiles. "I dunno...maybe 2 petals...or 6...or 50" We groan. "50?! Why did you do that?!" He frowns. "That's what the note said!" He pulled out the note as I grab it.
How to make the Love-Revealing Potion:
1. Put 50 petals of lavender.
2. Drop in the two hair samples.
3. Mix in the snail urine.
4. Add any scent and bottle it up. Be careful not to be exposed to it. The spell should last at least 12 hours.
Don't screw up Rorster.
~E-Dog
I frown. "I didn't write this. For one, I did not put 50 petals of lavender. Second, number 2 and number 3 should be switched. Third, I never call you Rorster; that is Sky's thing. Fourth, I wrote that the spell should last a few seconds, not 12 hours. And lastly, I don't use E-Dog; its sounds lame." Rory pouted.
"I so oppose to that; the name sounds awesome. And besides, that's the note I got." Sarah shakes her head. "Then who did? I mean, someone must've switched it up..." I cut her off.
"Okay, let's think about that later. Right now, we should start our plan over. The new plan is that since half the day they'll love each other, the lavender should start the reversal at 9:00 pm. They'll start hating each other. So at around 8:30 pm, invite them over to your house separately and keep them from killing each other." I explain as everyone nods. The bell rings. I crumple the note and throw it out as we walk to class, my mind deep in thought. I felt someone walk past me, but I ignored it. I thought as we walk to class.
Who could've switched the notes? And more importantly, why?
*Time Skip* *Time Skip* *Time Skip*
12:05 pm (noon)
Benny's POV
I walk into the cafeteria, a rose in my hand. I see Sky and smile. There are just so many things I love about that girl. She sees me and smiles. "Hey!" She gestures me over to her table as I smile. I walk towards her and hand her the rose. "Hey Sky!" I pull out a cookie from my bag. I grin as she takes it. "Ooh, a chocolate chip cookie! How sweet!" I smile.
"Sadly, I couldn't find one as sweet as you snuggle-bear!" She giggled as I touch her nose.
"I love you Benny-bear!" She cooed as I smile. "Me too love!" We laugh.
My day can't get any better than this.
Ethan's POV
We watch as Benny and Sky...canoodle. Erica frowns.
"If they are enjoying each other, doesn't it makes us pervs just watching them...enjoying each other? They are happy, I wanna go!" Rory nodded. "Yeah, I mean, it's not like they're going anywhere." I frown sarcastically.
"Okay, let's go! Oh, and let's ignore the fact that in less than 6 hours they might send each other to HELL!" I scream. "Grumpy eh?" Rory mumbled. I roll my eyes as I continue.
"We have to monitor them. Who knows if what they might do when they're in love? The potion was pretty strong considering Benny gave his cookie to Sky. He'd never do that to anyone, let alone a girl. What if they..." We exchange fearful looks and shudder. "Lets's hope they are still in the starting of their relationship..." Sarah said as they shuddered in disgust. Rory nodded. "I guess what E is trying to say is that if the spell is strong on the love side, it will be equally strong in the hate side." I nod.
"Yes, and they are both spellmasters, so we need to make sure they don't set anything on fire." Erica smiles. "Those two are actually really nice together." We watched her watch Sky and Benny laugh. Sarah smiled.
"Why are you even helping us anyway Erica? I thought you hate this stuff." Erica hid a smile.
"Well...uh...I don't wanna act cheesy...but Sky is like the...younger sister I never had and I love her like she was my sister. When she is happy, I'm happy." We smile; Erica had her moments sometimes. I nod.
"Let's get back to business."
*Time Skip* *Time Skip* *Time Skip*
8:50 pm: Benny's House
Benny's POV
Ethan is at my house and we are playing Whack 'Em Weeds 3. I'm just about to destroy the Plant Zombie Leader as Ethan pauses the game. He nervously glances at the clock. "Why did you pause the game? I was about to destroy the Plant Zombie Leader-" He cut me off. "So...heard ya hooked up with Sky." My heart suddenly fluttered.
"Oh my gosh, yes! She's just..perfect. We went to see a movie and we ate at Luigi's Pizzeria..it was just..perfect. I am so glad I finally confessed my love for her, and she feels the same way for me. I love her, she is perfectly..." I pause. A new surge of hatred filled my body. I frown darkly as Ethan looks at the clock in fear.
9:00 pm
"Sky is perfectly dead to me." I grab my spellbook and a hockey stick and attempt to walk out. Ethan tried to pull me back as I struggle to break free of his grasp. "I'm sorry B...but you...can't go!" He struggles to keep me down as I growl. "Let me go! Sky...she has to DIE!" I zap Ethan with a bolt of lightning at his feet as he jumps back. I make a run for it and smile as I near Ethan's backyard. If anything, Sky always comes to Ethan's house if there is an emergency. In this case, Ethan's bound to call Sky and everyone to tell them what's going on, which is exactly what I want him to do. I smile as the plan finished in my mind.
Sky's going down tonight, and I'll stop at nothing to make sure she dies.
Meanwhile...
8:50 pm: Sarah's House
Sky's POV
"...And then he gave me roses! My Ethie-kins is the greatest!" Sarah squeals as Erica rolls her eyes. I was too busy daydreaming about Benny to hear what Sarah was saying. Erica smirked.
"Looks like Mrs. Weir is in her own universe. Care to share; it is Girl's Night after all!" I blush. "Benny. He confessed that he loved me and I loved him back!" I gush as I flop on the bed. "Everything about him is so...perfect. His fly-away hair, his emerald eyes, he is just so handsome! And-" I'm cut off by a burning ache that soars through my body. My opinion about Benny changes. Erica and Sarah noticed that I stopped as they look at the clock in fear.
9:00 pm
"And he'll never live as long as I am here." I grab my spellbook and Sarah's baseball bat as I storm out. Erica tackle me to the floor as Sarah pins me to the ground. I grunt. "Let. Me. GO!" I yell as Erica frowns.
"Sorry Sky, no nerd can die tonight, despite who it is." I smile darkly, a plan brewing in my mind. "You're wrong. Only one nerd can die tonight, and that nerd is Benny!" I chant a spell that would send me to wherever Benny is. I smile at them one final time.
"Sorry I can't chat ladies, but the that smooth talking lady's man must die! Seeya, when I return, Benny will be dead!" I close my eyes as the world disappear. When I open them again, I realize that I am in Ethan's backyard. I grin.
Ready or not Benny...ready or not...here I come...
9:15 pm: Ethan's Backyard
Third Person POV
Sky and Benny find each other in Ethan's backyard. They growl at each other.
"I HATE YOU WEIR!" Sky swung the bat at Benny. He dodged it as he hit Sky with the hockey stick in the leg, making her fall. He pinned her to the ground as he smiles. "Game over Bryans." He was about to chant a deadly spell when Sky kicks his leg and bounces up. "Only for you Benny!"
They continue to rapidly fire spells at each other as Ethan, Sarah, Erica and Rory rush into the scene. A bolt of lightning struck through Ethan's hair, slightly burning it. "Ouch!" Ethan yelped as he felt his newly burnt hair. Rory tried to stifle a laugh as Sarah frowned.
"Okay, where do we hide?" Erica pointed to a cage. "How convenient is it that there is a cage right there?! Almost too good to be true! We'll hide there." They start to go towards the cage, but Ethan stops them. They look at him in confusion as he pulls them into a bush. A streak of lightning barely missed them. He frowned.
"That, that is the Eternity Cage. The key hasn't even arrived yet. If you go in there, you'll be stuck there for...eternity." Rory smiled. "Dude, it is so awesome! We can totally play live-action-" Rory was cut off by Sarah. "Okay, why would you even buy that?" Ethan shake his head as another spell rushed above them. They yelp in surprise.
"Okay, point is, we can't hide there. We'd be stuck forever; there must be another way." Ethan rushes his words as Rory frowns.
"So what? Weigh the choices man; we could either stay safe in a indestructible cage, or hide out in the totally unsafe bush and wait to get burned alive!" He yells. As if on cue, a bolt of lightning struck through the bush, separating the 4. They yelled in shock. They all look at Ethan. "Any thoughts dork?" Erica says. Ethan sighs and nods.
"Everyone in the cage."
*Time Skip* *Time Skip* *Time Skip*
4:03 am: Saturday Morning
Third Person POV
Ethan and Sarah were cuddled in the corner of the cage as Rory snores, his head on Erica's chest. Suddenly, a loud bang rang out, waking them up.
Outside of the cage was Sky and Benny, a note in their hands. They frowned.
"A love-revealing spell gone wrong, eh?" Benny smirks as Sky rolls her eyes. "Guys, we're...uh.." Sky trails off, grasping for the right words. "Uh..flattered." Benny answers as Sky nods. "Yes, we're flattered that you guys would do that, but we are JUST FRIENDS." Rory snickered. "Yeah right." He laughed as Sky shot him a death glare. His laugh became an awkward cough. Sarah sighed.
"Look, we are sorry. We just couldn't handle it. But we get the message; just friends." They smile. "You should be." Benny smiles as Sky holds up a golden key. They gasp.
"Because look what SpedEx just dropped off?" They started to beg.
"You!" Erica pleaded. "Please forgive us! I can't last a DAY with these people!" Sarah eagerly nodded. "Yeah, if you want to punish us, you can!" Ethan and Rory nodded as they smirk. Someone walked out. It was Mrs. Weir.
"Not them. Me." They frowned as they all thought the same thought.
We're screwed.
*Time Skip* *Time Skip* *Time Skip*
12:05 pm (noon): Benny's House
I laugh as Rory stomps off to rub Mrs. Weir's feet. Sarah and Erica grumble as wash Mrs. Weir's car. I smile as I raise my glass. "Hey E! More lemonade please; extra ice!" He rolled his eyes as he took our glass. Benny and I laughed.
I knew that they did not mean the whole..."love potion" thing yesterday, but we figured that this would be a suitable punishment. Benny nudges me as his voice is lowered to whisper.
"You aren't upset about the whole...'relationship' thing yesterday? I mean, yeah it was awkward, but we aren't fighting are we?" I shoot him a kind smile. "No, it was just a spell. I know you didn't mean it. Anyway, how could I be upset? This is paradise!" We laugh as Ethan returns with my lemonade. I frown as a new thought emerged in my mind.
"Y'know, Ethan said that someone switched the note that was suppose to do the proper spell. Who would sabotage that? How would they know about potions anyway? And more importantly, why?" Benny shrugged. "I dunno. Just sip you're lemonade Sky; we are suppose to be in paradise!" We laugh once more.
Life is once
*Time Skip* *Time Skip* *Time Skip*
3:54 pm: Dark Room in WC High
Mystery POV
I pace the room in fury. How are they still friends?! They should be hating each other right now! I pick up the crumpled note and growl. How could I be so careless in writing that inaccurate note? Now I need to find another way to tear their friendship apart. I smile as I open a cabinet. A business card dropped out of the cabinet. I frown in confusion as I pick it up.
Trees 'R Us: Need a tree chopped down? We're the guys to help! Call 1-267-172-1182 or email an appointment at TreesRUs
I smile as I open up my laptop. I pull up my email as I start to type.
To: TreesRUs
I wish to schedule an appointment with Trees 'R Us for the chopping of a tree near Whitechapel High. It is too old and we need it to be chopped down for space for future development in that area. Please respond ASAP. Thank you for your time and I look forward to do business with you.
I do my best to make it sound as formal as I can as I press send. I smile as I walk out.
Soon enough...you'll find out soon enough.
Meanwhile...
3:54 pm: Evelyn's Secret Chamber
Evelyn's POV
Everyone has left. Benny and Sky are playing video games as I search up the spell that the note said for Rory to use instead of the love-reveal spell. I smile as I find it and read it.
That boy used the right spell, just added lavender. Silly kids. I think to myself as the words emerged in front of my eyes.
Love Revealing Spell (no love meters)
When used, the two people affected by the spell will reveal their love, that is real in their hearts, and confess it to each other. I smile once more as I go off to read the newspaper.
Those kids will learn soon enough.
A/N- Phew! That was awesome! This was one of my favorite chapters to write because I've been waiting for it for so long, ever since Friends ended too! Anyway, my plan is that after this story is done (which sadly, is soon), I will post the Christmas Special and once that is finished, I'll start Just Friends. I have a busy schedule ahead of me, but for you guys, it is totally worth it! I am writing this while listening to a whole marathon of Glee Christmas songs (which are awesome by the way) so I could get into he spirit for my Christmas Special, that I can't wait for!
I am so for-longing this, so I'll stop now. Drop a review, or maybe even a favorite or follow! I really don't care, I just need some (positive) feedback. I'm off to read some more stories, so have a fang-tastic day!
In Fangs, We Trust.
