Chapter 16 (Role Play: The Fallen)
The next week, Jonah and Freddie found themselves shopping in a costume store. The group had come up with a fun role playing idea to do and the girls were going to set everything up, leaving the boys to do the shopping, despite how much they pleaded to do it the other way around. Somehow, the girls always won. Oddly, they were going to do this on the day of Carly's birthday.
They had already celebrated her birthday and had stayed for most of the party, but one by one, each of them left to get ready for the role playing. Sam and Freddie were Carly's best friends, so they made sure to stay until the party was pretty much over and people could actually leave. So Freddie left first, then Sam left about thirty minutes later. Carly was the first of the group to turn fourteen, Freddie would be next. When the tenth of January had passed by, he had done something great for her.
It seemed that whenever the one month anniversary passed, Freddie would do something different. This time, Emily left the apartment, so he set up some soft and slow music and candlelight. When Sam had entered into the kitchen, she had found only the glow of candles and the gentle music surrounding the area. Freddie had stepped behind her and handed her a rose, then he led her to the table and brought over the main course. It was a very romantic thing to do, that's what Sam thought, and that's why she loved it.
"Okay, so the girls wanted the angels," Jonah said while picking up an angel costume. He raised his eyebrow and glanced at Freddie, Freddie nodded and Jonah placed the angel costume in the basket. Freddie looked at a devil costume and smirked, he and Jonah had to wear demon ones. Jonah saw the costume and raised his eyebrow. "Well, that one looks pretty important. Tell you what, you get that one, and I'll take this one here." Jonah picked up a demon costume that wasn't as extravagant, but still decorative enough. "So, Sam and Valerie are the fallen angels, and we're the little lovable demons, right?" Freddie laughed and nodded as he placed his demon costume in the cart.
"Yeah, that was the plan." Jonah chuckled as the two started to make their way to the cashier. "Though I wouldn't mind dressing up as a suave, charming, and cunning vampire. I guess I can put what Sam terms as my 'bad boy' demeanor into this." Jonah raised his eyebrow and laughed as he patted Freddie on the shoulder. "What? You don't think Sam's right on that? I can be pretty bad when given the opportunity."
"Yeah, I don't know about that. Anyway, we've got four white robes at home and a few angel halos and outfits, so that works. I'd say we've got everything we're going to need, and this is at my house, so that's even better." Freddie nodded and stepped into the line. Jonah had a three story house, technically. It really consisted of a second floor, main floor, and the basement. "I'm glad my parents are letting us do this, too."
"Well of course, they're trusting, I suppose you could say." Jonah nodded as he watched the people in front pay for their items. His parents, as Freddie and Valerie's parents were all trusting people. They trusted their kids not to do anything that they shouldn't do. Since each of them had money, they also didn't mind their kids having fun with the whole acting that they did. "I can't wait to see how the girls have decorated that house, I bet it's going to be awesome."
"Yeah dude, we'll just have to see." Finally it was their turn to pay for the costumes. The clerk took the costumes and checked the prices, it was a total of thirty dollars. Freddie and Jonah both took out their wallets and paid fifteen dollars each.
"Alright, so your dad's picking us up and dropping us off?"
"Yep."
"Cool." Freddie and Jonah carried the items out of the shop and found Mr. Brown waiting for them in the car. The entered and rested as Jonah's father drove to the house, it was only a five minute drive. "Can't wait to learn how to drive. Mom says if she has any trouble teaching me to drive, she's going to force me to teach Sam how to drive." Jonah laughed and Freddie raised his eyebrow. "Well, we're going to have to see how that works out."
"Valerie and I are a year ahead of you guys. We have our learner's permit, so when we get our licenses, we'll be driving you guys around." Jonah blinked and sighed. "Oh great, we're going to have to be a chauffer for you guys!" Freddie laughed and placed a hand on Jonah's shoulder.
"I am deathly sorry, but it is the way things are." Jonah narrowed his eyes and flat-lined his mouth.
"Hah, hah, that was so funny that I forgot to laugh!" Freddie snickered and glanced out the window as Mr. Brown parked near the curb. He looked back and smiled.
"Okay you two, try not to have too much fun with your girlfriends," Mr. Brown said. Jonah and Freddie raised their eyebrows as Jonah's dad gave a slight laugh. "I was once a hormonal teenager myself, so I know-" The boys groaned and Jonah held his hand up in the air.
"Okay Dad, enough of that! Seriously, Freddie and I aren't going to be doing anything like that to Valerie and Sam." Freddie nodded in agreement and Mr. Brown raised his eyebrow.
"Though I will admit, and she would too, that it is tempting at times," Freddie said while giving a slight shrug. "However, we know that we're far too young, and there are all the consequences that we're just not ready for. So believe it or not, we actually have learned to use self control pretty well over the time we've been together."
"Yeah, the same with me and Valerie." Mr. Brown smiled and closed his eyes, chuckling slightly at the seemingly mature answers.
"Well then, just have fun," Mr. Brown answered. "I need to get to work, and your mom will be home later in the day."
"All right, see you later, Dad." Jonah and Freddie exited the car and watched as Mr. Brown drove off. Jonah sighed and shook his head, slightly annoyed by his father's statement. It felt awkward to hear about that stuff in the first place. As the guys walked toward the door, the girls stepped out and smiled at them. "Hey, are you two done already?"
"Yes we are," Sam said while nodding her head. Freddie placed his hands on Sam's waist and started to kiss her, but she stopped him by placing a finger to his lips. "Not yet, Freddie. You're going to have to wait." Freddie chuckled lightly and stepped next to Jonah.
"Okay, let's give them their costumes," Freddie said. Jonah nodded and pulled the two angel costumes from the bag, the girls took them and laughed as they ran into the house. "It seems like they're really eager. Let's go inside and get our costumes on first." Jonah nodded and walked inside the house with Freddie.
Freddie would have to wear a white robe first, so he put that on and headed upstairs while Jonah made his way down to the basement. When Freddie entered the upstairs area, he saw a lot of huge cotton balls resembling cotton placed around the top.
"Nice, they've created clouds." Freddie walked into one of the upstairs bedrooms and found both Sam and Valerie sitting on the bed. They had pouty expressions on and looked guilty. They lifted their heads up and watched as Freddie walked past them and stood at a table, pretending it was a podium. "Sam Puckett and Valerie Williams, we will hear your case today." Sam and Valerie looked at each other with wide eyes and then quickly stood up.
"Please, spare us!" Valerie said in a quick voice. Sam breathed in and nodded in response.
"We didn't mean to do what we did, it was really an accident!" Sam pleaded. Freddie couldn't help but think it was cute how she pleaded her case, he would have to commend her on that later.
"You two are Angels," Freddie said as he pressed his fist onto the table. "Yet you have given in to seven of the earth's most cardinal sins!" Freddie held up a sheet of paper and began reading off a list of offenses. "What is this? You've even caused the death of a human being." Valerie and Sam winced and Freddie raised his eyebrow. "Do you care to explain this one?"
"Uh, well…" Sam pressed two of her fingers together and looked toward the ground. "Valerie and I were playing a game that angels play, and it got to loud up here. So, we went to the earth, but it was even louder, and we tried to quiet it. When we did, we kind of…showed ourselves. The person that saw us...died in shock." Sam looked up and clenched her fist, still pleading her case. "But it was an accident! We didn't mean any harm!"
"Angels aren't supposed to have accidents! Not only that, you're living as if you were human!"
"We were once," Valerie muttered under her breath. Freddie quickly glared at her and she gave him a toothy grin. "Hello!" Freddie narrowed his eyes and huffed.
"You two have violated far too many sins for an angel to commit. In order to regain your status here, you must be penalized. You must change your haughty ways and survive hell before you may return here." Sam and Valerie both gasped at their punishment, it was far too cruel for a couple of fun-loving angels like themselves.
"Oh please no!" Valerie said as she clasped her hands together and fell to her knees. "Please don't do this! I don't want to be a fallen angel!"
"Me either!" Sam cried out. She too fell to her knees and began pleading. "I can't possibly be a fallen angel, it seems too harsh of a punishment! I'll never survive!" Freddie narrowed his eyes and slammed the paper on the table, earning a gasp from both the girls.
"My word is final! You should have thought about this before you decided to act without rationality. Now, leave!" Freddie lifted his arm and pointed to the door. Sam and Valerie gave scared looks at the door and then begged Freddie once more.
"Don't kick us out, please! Please don't kick us out! We'll be good! We promise you, we'll be good, perfect little angels!" Freddie narrowed his eyes and kept his finger pointed toward the door, speaking no other word. The girls slowly and sadly stood up, keeping their eyes closed and toward the ground. They walked out of the door and headed toward the stairs, the only way from there was down. "You're an idiot Valerie, you made us get kicked out of heaven." Sam made a sniffling sound as she and Valerie stepped on the top stairs.
"I know, but I didn't think it would be that bad." The girls took one last look before they exited the pearly gates and headed down the stairs. They hit "earth" level and then walked down more stairs, making it into hell. "Oh my, this is scary looking." Sam nodded and grabbed onto Sam, they were shaking with fear. The walls were covered with realistic looking flames, despite them being colored paper. The girls gulped and stepped off of the last step, looking around and seeing nothing. "Do you think we can go back?"
"Gee, what do you think, Valerie? We've fallen from heaven, we can't go back for a while now." Soon a shadow cast over them, they looked over and saw a demon dancing around. The demon stopped and glared at them, he had a scary look on his face.
That's part one of the role play, it was once all one chapter, but it became too long so I had to shorten it.
