Chapter 15: What's Wrong With Butchy?
Hello! Sorry for the missed updates! I have been busy all week planning for my camping trip to Darien Lake this weekend! But now I can update! I also got Stuart the Minion! I don't know why I needed to say that but I'm really excited! Here's the chapter….Enjoy!
The next morning, Butchy was up before anyone else.
Which was surprising because he was usually the last biker to roll out of bed in the morning; not the first.
Tanner, SeaCat, Rascal, and Brady were the first to rise of the surfers. They walked into the kitchen to see Butchy sitting at the table drinking coffee and reading the paper. All 4 boys stopped dead in their tracks, surprised.
"Good morning!" Butchy called looking up from the paper for a quick second before looking back down.
But something wasn't right.
"Uh…Butchy?" Brady spoke catching the bikers attention.
"Yeah?" Butchy asked. Brady flinched at the sound of his voice.
"Why are you still talking like that?"
"Talking like what? This is how I normally talk." Brady flinched when Butchy said I instead of his usual I's.
"Well normal. I mean you used to talk like a biker, not normal."
By now the 3 other surfer dudes have caught on and were nodding their heads in agreement.
"This is how I normally speak. And if you will excuse me, I'm going to go for a walk on the beach." Butchy set down his paper and coffee and left the house, slamming the door as he went. This made Brady, Tanner, SeaCat, and Rascal jump.
The boys rushed upstairs to Olivia's room where Olivia, Mack, and Lela were all staying.
Tanner rushed over to wake Lela up, Brady went to Mack, and SeaCat and Rascal went over to Olivia.
Tanner woke Lela up very nicely while Brady hit Mack in the face with the pillow making her fall off the bed and onto the floor. And the other two boys woke Olivia up by tickling her, but they both got kicked and punched.
Mack wasn't very happy and neither was Olivia. But Lela was wide awake and ready to go.
"Look we need your help." SeaCat began.
"It's about Butchy." Tanner continued slowly, Lela gasped.
"Ever since the bet he's been acting differently." Brady added.
"And we need everyone's help to snap him out of it." Rascal finished.
"Ok what do we need to do?" Lela chirped.
"Wake everyone up and tell them to go down into the basement. We need a plan." Rascal explained rushing out of the room. The rest followed.
Once everyone was awake, they all trotted down the stairs into the basement.
"Ok how are we going to get Butchy acting like his normal self again." Lela began.
"We could all try and change like him. He won't like that." Giggles suggested.
"No we need some amazing like-" Lela started before being cut off by Mack.
"No actually that's a great idea." Mack said standing up.
"It was? AWESOME!" Giggles exclaimed high fiving SeaCat.
"Yeah. If Butchy sees everyone getting out of place because he is, maybe it'll change his mind and make him change back." Mack explained
"It's worth a try." Brady suggested.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
"Let's do it!" Lela screamed.
Butchy arrived back from his walk and everyone was in the living room waiting for the perfect time for the plan. Mack, Brady, Olivia, and Lela were on the top steps. A place where Butchy will be able to hear and see them.
As Butchy walked into the living room, Struts hit play on the radio, giggled, and ran back to her seat.
"What's going on in here?" Butchy asked confused, but before anyone answered him, Tanner began to sing:
Tanner: You can say
There's nothing but waves
When I am in the zone
And on a roll
I've got a confession
My own secret obsession
And it's making me lose control
SeaCat&Lugnut&Rascal: Everybody
Gather round
"Ok if Butchy can be different so can I. I ride."
"What?" The 3 other boys gasped. Butchy was still completely lost in all of this.
"I love to ride. Flips, doughnuts, turns, you name it!" Tanner exclaimed.
"Not another sound." The 3 boys shushed Tanner
"One day, I hope to be a famous motorcycle driver."
Butchy rose his eyebrows on that. That was what Butchy always wanted to be, and he just couldn't imagine Tanner on a motorcycle,
SeaCat&Lugnut&Rascal: No, no, no, nooooooo
No, no, nooo
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow no, noooo
Stick to the status quo
The 3 boys sang this mainly to Butchy, but acted like they were talking to Tanner.
Butchy turned his attention on over to Struts and CheeChee.
CheeChee: Look at me and what do you see?
Beauty beyond compare
But inside I am stirring
Something strange is occurring
And it's something I need to share.
Struts: Open up
Dig way down deep.
"Hip hop is my passion. I love to pop and lock and jam and break." CheeChee stood up doing some dance moves horribly. Butchy tried to stifle his laughter.
"Is that even legal?" Struts asked. CheeChee shrugged.
Struts: Not another peep
"It's just dancing. Sometimes I think it's cooler than make-up."
Struts, SeaCat, Rascal, and Lugnut: No, No, No, Nooo
No, no, noo
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be cool follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow
No noooo
Stick to the status quo
Tanner and CheeChee were sitting next to each other on the couch. Again everyone sang the lyrics to Butchy, but looked as if they were for CheeChee and Tanner.
Butchy turned his attention to Kiki and Giggles.
Giggles: Listen well
I'm ready to tell
About a need that I cannot deny
Dude, there's no explanation
For this awesome sensation
And I'm ready to let it fly
Kiki: Speak your mind
And you'll be heard
"Ok well of everyone else can tell their secret so can I. I play hockey."
"Awesome! What is it?" Kiki asked.
Giggles tried to act out hockey to Kiki.
"A saw?"
"No a stick with a puck on ice." Giggles reassured.
Kiki: Not another word
"Do you have to wear a costume?" Kiki asked
"Helmet and skates."
Kiki, SeaCat, Rascal, Struts, and Lugnut: No no no nooo
No no nooo
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow
No nooo
Stick to the status quo
Giggles was now sitting with Tanner and CheeChee. While Butchy looked up to the stairs where he saw his sister, girlfriend, and 2 friends looking down on him. Butchy wanted answers.
Olivia: Is this what you want?
She gestured to everyone downstairs.
Lela: Is this what you planned?
Mack: And I just gotta saayyy
I do not understand
Olivia: Something is really
Brady: Something's not right
Olivia: Really wrrroonnnggg
Mack & Lela: And you gotta get things back
Where they bellloooonnnggg
Brady & Mack: You can do it!
Giggles: Gotta play!
Kiki: Stick with what you know
Lela & Olivia: You can do it!
CheeChee: hip hop hooray
Struts: She has gotta go
Brady & Lela: You can do it!
Tanner: On the road
SeaCat & Rascal & Lugnut: Keep your voice down low
Surfers: Not another peep
Bikers: no
Surfers: Not another word
Bikers: No
Surfers: Not another sound
Bikers: No
Mack & Olivia: Everybody quiet!
This startled everyone. They were quiet for about 5 seconds before they burst into song again.
SeaCat, Kiki, Struts, Rascal, and Lugnut: No no no nooo
No no noo
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow
No noo
Stick to the status quo
No no no nooo
No no noo
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow
No noo
Stick to the status quo
Stick to the status quo
Stick to the status quo
Stick to the status quo
Everyone ended looking at Butchy, waiting for him to say what they wanted to hear,
"Well good luck with that." Butchy commented. Rushing upstairs and into his room.
"Well that didn't work!" CheeChee spoke. Everyone groaned plopping down on the couch.
Tomorrow will be time for plan B.
