Spells and Louds
Chapter 154: Becky Jill Miller
(Royal Woods. December 14, Saturday)
Leni is in her car driving around town, she looks worried.
She then looks out of her car and checks to see if she can find her, she left one of her plants to take the steering wheel.
"Where on earth is Becky?!" said Leni to herself.
Dana is riding her ice road instead of driving and just like Leni she is also searching for Becky.
"Why didn't she answer her phone?" asked Dana as she stops and texts Becky again.
Lori who is also in vanzilla drives around looking for the same person. "Come on Becky, where the heck are you? Maybe I should check the park." She then drives full speed towards Ketchum Park.
The rest of their friends are looking for Becky in some of the places they all know she might go.
Fiona and Miguel are checking Reiningers, Jackie and Mandee are looking at the discount flip flop store, Whitney and Teri are searching by the hair salons and Carol is at the food court.
Meanwhile the rest of the Royal Defenders are also trying to track her.
"I've got nothing on her tracker" said Victor as he checks his tablet.
"Maybe she turned off her transponder" said Linka.
"Or she got kidnapped" said Sergei.
"That couldn't be possible. Only a simple minded nitwit would even dare try and lay a finger on any of us" said Jacky Cyber.
"The guy's right" replied Leon.
Becky's parents are also with them, looking concerned for their now 18 year old daughter's whereabouts.
Becky's mother is Sharon Miller. Red-head, long to her shoulder length at the same shape as her daughter's hair, wearing a light blue long sleeve buttoned shirt and brown pants with sandals.
Becky's dad is Bernard Miller. Brown hair that seems to be in a ponytail (talk about mid-life crisis) and he also has a mustache and a small beard, wearing a dark green short sleeved buttoned shirt and brown slacks with grey shoes.
All of the presents have been placed in one large area and all of the food and entertainment has been set up.
All of them are trying to figure out where the heck could Becky be, then they're other guests arrive via Medivac.
They were the monster high teens: Frankie Stein, Cleo de Nile, Draculaura, Clawdeen Wolf, Ghoulia Yelps, Lagoona Blue, Abbie Bominable, Robecca Steam, Catherine Demew, Bonita Femur, Sirena von boo, Jinafire Long, Skelita Calaveras, Venus McFlytrap, Scarah Screams, Rochelle Goyle, Twyla, Spectra Vondergeist, Honey Swamps and Operetta.
"Hello Royal Woods!" yelled Draculaura.
"It feels good to be here again, didn't think it'd be cold now" said Clawdeen.
"This is good, I like this weather" said Abbie.
"At least we were given the heads up to this weather, glad some of us have some winter clothes" said Frankie.
"This surely iz my first time being here" said Rochelle.
"This party is going to be one heck of a throw down" said Operetta.
Lincoln and the others were shocked at how many they were.
Neil then goes to Draculaura and Martin also joins him.
"What the heck Draculaura?" said Neil.
"When we said you can invite all your friends, this isn't what I meant. It looks like you invited the whole school!" said Martin.
Draculaura looked nervous. "Well, they are all my friends and most of the others had other plans today and this isn't the whole school. If it was then Miss Bloodgood, Toralei and the boys would all be here, but they're not."
Neil and Martin were confused by her good will and honest nature.
"Well, let's hope there won't be too much chaos when the birthday teen gets here" said Neil.
"You mean if she gets here" said Martin.
Draculaura was confused. "What do you mean if she gets here?"
Luna approaches them. "We haven't seen Becky all morning dudes. We can't find her."
"What?!" yelled all the monster teens.
"Leni and the others are already searching for her. We can't even track her movement" said Tadashi.
"This is terrible!" said Cleo.
"Where do you think she is?" said Honey.
"We'll help you guys find her" said Clawdeen.
Abbie looks to the cake. "Why is cake colored as if it were comic book super hero?"
Timmy stands next to her. "Becky is a fan of this comic book super hero Ace Savvy."
"Sounds like a card game" said Bonita.
Martin then looks to the Ace Savvy colored cake. He then looks around the party which has some red and blue themed streamers and balloons.
Martin then realized where she was. "Guys. I think I know where Becky is."
They all stop and look at Martin. "I'm sorry, what?" asked Sam.
"You know where she is?" asked Peter.
"Well, where is she martin?" asked Penny.
Martin looked at Lincoln. "Kid, look around the place and figure it out. The one place the others haven't bothered to look, is the one place you and Linka go to."
Lincoln does the same thing martin did by looking around the Ace Savvy colored party. Then it hit him.
"The comic book store!"
The others gasp.
Ghoulia moans in confusion.
"Ghoulia is right, why she would be there?" asked Abbie.
"Because she's a fan of Ace Savvy and Ace is a comic book, so she must be in the one place the other teens wouldn't have thought of in the first place" said Linka.
Becky's parents were also bewildered.
"Our daughter was the re the whole time?" asked Sharon.
"I did not see that coming and I was the one who showed her Ace when she was a kid" said Bernard.
Sunset then sent the text to Leni and the others.
Meanwhile, Leni picks up the phone and sees the text.
"Guys, head to the nearest comic book store. If she is there then text back."
Miguel and Fiona receive the same text after leaving Reiningers.
Jackie and Mandee who had just walked out of the Discount flip flop store.
Whitney and Teri who are asking at the hair salon.
And Carol who just left the food court with a smoothie in hand.
Lori and Dana also receive the text.
They all head for the one place in the mall with a comic book store.
They all look into the window and see her. Becky, wearing head phones from her iPod and is reading an Ace Savvy comic book, the new updated one.
Carol then texts back to the others that they have found Becky and she is fine.
The teens enter the comic book store which shocks some kids who are there.
They all stand in front of Becky who isn't even paying attention.
Becky then feels like she's being watched and looks up. She then sees all of her friends.
Becky smiles and puts away her headphones and turns off her iPod. "Took you guys long enough."
They're smiled were now confused looks.
"I'm sorry. What?" asked Mandee.
Becky chuckled. "I was waiting for all of you to figure out where I would be, this was all part of my plan to let you guys figure it out. Ace style."
Carol was now shocked. "So, you know about the surprise party?!"
Becky nods. "I helped you guys make Dana's birthday a surprise party, I figured you guys might do the same."
"And you sent us searching or you, like in the comic book?" asked Whitney.
Becky nods. "Pretty much, I wanted to see how you guys would fair in searching for me. Like when Ace was trying to figure out where Wild Card Willy was hiding."
They were all jaws dropped hearing those words from they're friend.
Becky chuckles and drags them with her out of the comic book store. "Come on guys, the others are probably waiting."
They soon arrive to their destination. The Royal Woods high school Gym.
Becky opens the doors and she is greeted by a big surprise from everyone.
Becky chuckles. "Nice surprise everyone."
Carol and the others come in. "Yeah, she knew it was a surprise party the whole time."
Martin clapped slowly. "Obviously she knew. She was the one who helped us with Dana's birthday."
Lori and Leni then hugged Becky.
"Why were you at the comic book store Becky?" asked Leni.
You literally had all of us worried" said Lori.
Then her parents came and hugged their daughter, saying happy birthday and telling her how worried they were about her whereabouts.
"Guys, guys. I knew you would all find me, so I did a little something in Ace Savvy would do" said Becky.
Lincoln chuckled. "Let me guess, like when Ace couldn't find wild card Willie's hideout and went on a long and wild goose chase and then realized he was hiding in a casino?"
Becky approaches Lincoln and ruffles his hair. "That's the one."
The rest were shocked, Becky played them all.
Then Becky noticed a lot of Monster high students were there. "I didn't really see this coming."
Soon they all got the festivities in motion.
Becky liked seeing the party have this Ace Savvy like theme. It reminded her of the same Ace Savvy birthday party she had when she was eleven, her Eevee (Eden) is also there with them.
They kept up the party with some songs she is a fan of, some party tricks and jokes from Luan and watching some old footage of when Becky started her high school years.
Becky thought this was all amazing, she even liked the fact that she was granted to wear the old cape she once wore when she was young and it brought back a lot of good memories.
Becky was about to head for the cooler for some soda to drink.
She got her drink and turned around only to bump into Martin McKenzie, who manages to grab her before she falls.
Becky was a bit fazed by this.
"Careful there Becky, you almost hurt yourself" said Martin.
Martin helps her back up and he hands her a new soda. "Thanks Martin, they told me that you were the one who organized the whole thing."
"I did. The Royal Woods Gymnasium, the cake, the theme and pretty much the invites, your parents were the ones who suggested the video montage of your childhood. Kinda wish I had that childhood too." Replied Martin.
Becky giggles. "I guess not everyone can get what they want."
Martin chuckles. "Though, the one thing I didn't expect was the fact that you went missing. That was unexpected, I never really saw that coming."
"Well, I've been reading Ace for as long as I can remember and I had this planned since I was eleven" said Becky.
"Really?" asked Martin.
"Yup, I always wanted a party where I can have everyone trying to figure out where I am" replied Becky.
"But why do it now?" asked Martin.
"A girl like me can only be able to go anywhere unless I am above the age of sixteen or more" said Becky.
Martin chuckled. "Of course, you'd take the risk at you're eighteenth birthday to finally execute what you were planning, now that is pure genius if I may add."
Becky giggles at his words. "Oh stop. I'm no genius!"
Martin smirks. "Well you're pretty clever with your childhood plans, coming from me respect."
The two of them continue to chuckle a bit, but they have no idea they have gotten the attention of their friends and Becky's parents. They know about Martin, but seeing him share a laugh with their daughter seemed, kinda cute.
Martin and Becky finish laughing and look at each other. They then realize this was getting awkward and blush.
"Well, I should go and see what Victor and Penny are up to" said Martin.
"Yeah, I gotta go and check out what's happening with my gal pals" said Becky.
But when they try to pass each other, Martin went left and Becky went right.
They got shocked and spoke at the same time. "Oh, sorry."
Martin tried to go right, but Becky went left. "Oops, I didn't ... umm." Then Martin's glasses fell.
Martin was gonna pick it up, but he didn't know Becky was also going to pick them up and they're hands touched.
They were know looking at each other at point blank range.
They both slowly got back up with both they're hands touching the glasses.
Becky then places them on his face. "Here, you look kinda cool with these glasses on."
Martin turns red and adjust the glasses. "Thanks, though I only need these when I read or when I need to check on some schematics … well what I mean to say is that these glasses are linked to FutureTech's network, so it's like a phone in my eye point of view."
Becky giggles. "You have my number in there?"
Martin blushes. "Well, of course. I have everyone's contact number, we're … a team."
They stay silent and just look at each other.
"So, I'm going right" said Becky.
"Y-Yeah, me too" replied Martin.
They both go their separate ways. What they don't know is that everyone else saw this and thought it was both awkward and sweet.
Lori and Leni had it recorded from their phones, Becky's dad had his camera with him.
Becky then approached her friends and saw their almost squealing faces. "What?"
"Oh nothing, Becky" replied Dana.
Martin was now next to Victor, Penny, Tadashi and Jack Cyber.
"Well, that was interesting Martin" said Victor.
Martin looks at them confused. "What is?"
Jack Cyber chuckles. "You are so clueless right now."
Penny giggles. "You are just so cute with her father, even though she is one of my friends."
Martin had no idea what they were even talking about.
Tadashi noticed this, one time where Martin was acting awkward and sensitive and next he's back to being the genius who focuses on his work all the time kind of guy. "This is gonna be one strange day."
Soon they all start to show what they have gotten for Becky.
Leni was her best friend and showed her the dress she made for Becky for the big winter dance.
It was a light green dress that reached her knees, it had some fiery insignia at the bottom of the dress and strapless with a teal flower on the right chest.
"Oh Leni, this is beautiful!" said Becky.
Leni smiled. "I knew you'd love it."
"But what about the letter you have? It said that you can bring a plus one to the dance, have you found out who you wanna bring or do you wanna go there alone?" asked Dana.
Becky then looked to see Martin with his gift ready and she smiles. 'I think I found my plus one.'
Martin then approaches Becky with the small box. Hey there Becky, this is for you I guess."
Becky accepts the box and her Eevee stands between Becky and Martin. "Thanks, what is it?"
Martin smiles. "Let's just say it's something you have been trying to search for since Pokemon started living here in Royal Woods."
Becky's eyes went wide and she opened the box to see a Fire Evolution stone. "W-What? How?"
Martin looked nervous. "It was not easy trying to get it from a cave filled with sleeping Darumaka and Darmanitan. I had to get it when they were all hibernating."
Becky then picks up the stone. "I-I don't know what to say Martin."
Martin scratches the back of his head. "Well, it's not-" Then he gets chocked when she kisses his right cheek.
Martin blushes and looks at Becky who is also blushing. "Thank you, and Eden also thanks you Martin."
Martin felt nervous. "Umm, y-you're welcome … umm" Then he passes out.
Becky gasps. "Martin! Are you okay?"
Victor arrives and drags him away. "He's fine, this is his first time being kissed by a girl."
They all gasped. Though Neil, Leon, Sergei and Peter try not to laugh at this.
Becky then went to her knees and placed the fire evolution stone to her Eevee.
Eden touches it and she starts to glow.
The bright light fades and Eden was an Eevee no more, she was now a Flareon.
Becky had tears of joy and hugged her Pokemon, soon Dana with her Glaceon and Sunset with her Sylveon joined in the group hug.
This truly was one birthday Becky would never forget and one moment in Martin's life he will want to remember.
(Hours later)
The Party was over and everyone went off home.
Martin is at FutureTech with Victor and it was late around 11:00 pm.
"So, I guess I'm headed back to my place. You stay chill lover nerd" joked Victor as he grabs his jacket and leaves the warehouse.
"Yeah, okay. Whatever" replied Martin as he places the blueprints back into a box. All of the blueprints are marked complete.
Victor couldn't believe it, Martin was over the moon when Becky kissed his cheek and now he's back to being his normal self. That was something Victor is trying to figure out. He then leaves the warehouse.
Then Martin realizes, that is has been thirty minutes since Victor left and for some reason there was a presence with him, he was not alone.
He then adjusts his glasses, which he was pushing a button.
The wall on the left launches a metal glove that attaches to Martin and he readies to send a pulse blast to whoever was there in the darkness.
"Whoever you are, show yourself. Don't make this hard on you" said Martin to the dark area of the warehouse.
Then he sees a purple pulsing light that approaches him. "Really? That's no way to speak to a … Friend."
Martin then lowers his pulse glove. "No freaking way!"
Coming out of the shadows was Sombra! "So, how was Becky's birthday party? Did you find the love of your life mijo?"
The whole warehouse's lights were now back on. "What are you doing here? Better yet, how the hell did you get here?" asked Martin.
Sombra smirks. "Let's just say all it took was tracking all of your burst drones that were in my world, so I pin pointed every signal you had hidden in the system and it led me to a nearby Great Gate that was left abandoned in Antarctica."
Martin was confused. "The Guardian has a lot to explain to us about that."
"We'll get to that later, right now. We have to talk" said Sombra as she shows him footage of her world and they're enemy Talon and Null Sector.
To be continued …
And a happy birthday Becky, who is now 18. I decided to pair her with the one guy who needs to find something to focus on besides his work. Hope you all liked it, leave a review.
And we are almost there my heroes! We're almost there!
