Chapter 25 Don't Stop (Colours On The Walls)

Izzy's POV

As we were all rehearsing our regionals routine, we were dancing to the song called Low (remix 2021 version)

I think the new routine is amazing! I also think it's the best thing we've done. We finish our dance in our last pose by looking in the mirror.

"All right everybody! That was pretty good!" Jake exclaimed.

"That was great!" Lisa said.

"I love the energy! You know what? Let's go home early tonight, okay?" Jake told us.

"Whoo!" We all cheered.

"Good job, you guys." I told them as Peter and Red Jessica walked in while everyone was just about to go home.

Hey, hey, hey! Where do you guys think you're going huh?" Peter asked.

"Oh. I forgot that Peter Own's this place." Jake exclaimed.

"Home?" Finn told him.

"Yeah well, you see Peter everyone did really amazing, and the energy was great so we decided to maybe..." Jake was about to finish red Jessica finished for him.

"The energy was great!" Red Jessica exclaimed.

"Oh." Peter answered.

"Yeah." Jake said.

"Yeah, no, no we're not done here." Peter said.

"What?" Both Bart and I asked while Peter and Red Jessica grin at each other.

"Joking! We just kind of want to have a fun night." Red Jessica said.

"Yeah, we're going to hang out as friends not just teammates." Peter exclaimed as we all started talking and left.

Jake's POV

As everyone turned up for tonight's hangout party, Finn walks in with his dressing gown and PJs on.

"Hey, everybody! Let's have some fun." Finn exclaimed.

"Finn?" I called while everyone started to giggle.

"Finn, are those your pyjamas?" I asked.

"Well, if you may know, yes they are my pyjamas and Peter told us to get comfortable so..." Finn explained.

"Not that comfortable!" I yelled.

"Boy please, I work this." Finn said.

"It's a dressing gown!" I told him.

"Hey, are you guys ready to have some fun?" Peter wanted to know.

"Yeah!" Everyone cheered.

"Okay, let's play machine." Peter announced.

"Okay." I said.

Machine is basically just like improv game

"We're making a koala pyjama pant making machine." Peter said.

I don't know what's going to happen right now.

Izzy starts the game and she begins to make a machine noise.

"What is that?" Stormy wanted to know.

That's when I began to help and make a machine noise as well. Owlette joins in on it too.

Izzy's POV

It's actually one of Jake's favorite games! Nearly everyone makes machine noises and joins in.

Everyone joins in and make machine noises and started to burst out laughing.

"Amazing! That is a serious machine. Now, that we're all warm up and we're good to go eat up have some fun enjoy your night." Peter exclaimed.

"Get some snacks! Some some, now!" Finn said.

We all walked over to the snack table and picked out the snacks.

"Yeah all right guys come on I think we should play Truth or Dare!" Stormy exclaimed.

"Oh come on that's a girl's game." Jake complained.

"Excuse me Jake what did you just say?" I asked.

"...Okay guys let's play Truth or Dare before Izzy kills me." Jake corrected himself.

Stormy's POV

"Yeah that's what I thought you said." Izzy told him.

"Let's start with Finn. All right truth or dare?" I asked.

"Oooooh Finn!" Jake said.

"Truth." Finn picked.

"Yes!" I exclaimed.

"Oh I've got a good one, what's your biggest secret?" Owlette asked.

"My biggest secret?" Finn wanted to know.

"Yup!" Owlette answered.

"Okay, I witnessed a bank robbery before." Finn said as our eyes were wide open.

"You gotta be joking. A bank robbery? you've witness a bank robbery?" We all said in shocked.

"Yeah I actually born with him and I know where he buried the money." Finn said.

"Did he bury it in the laundromat?" Bart asked.

"No! This was a couple of years ago so I don't know if it'll still be there." Finn answered.

Finn's POV

"Okay my turn! Private Princess, truth or dare?" I asked.

"Dare!" Pirate Princess exclaimed.

"I double dog dare you to go into Peter's Cafe and use stormy as your hands and order some drinks for everybody." I told her.

"As your hands?" Stormy said.

"I Say we all go." Izzy suggested.

"Whoa, what do you mean?" Stormy asked.

"Yeah, let's all go!" Jake said.

"I say we all do it right now! Let's go! Let's go! I'll explain it more when we're there let's go!" Finn exclaimed.

"Okay." Jake answered

"I don't get how this work." Stormy said.

"Can you stop, Bart!" Owlette Told him.

Pirate Princess's POV

As Finn sat next to me, he started to speak.

"Do what I told you to do." Finn said as I has my arms behind my back and Stormy's arms in front of me.

Go put your arms back yes all right let's go!" I said.

Pirate Princess puts her arms back and stormy puts her arms in front of Pirate Princess.

"Be good, Stormy." Pirate Princess told her.

The Pirate Princess has to walk over to the juice bar and order a juice. Now, when she gets there Stormy decides it would be be a good idea to put some lipstick on. That's when Pirate started to burst out laughing.

"Right there! That's the spot! Yes!"

Jake's POV

"How about more" I said.

"Yeah! Over there in the corner!" Finn exclaimed.

"A bit to the right." The cashier told him.

"Yeah! Get it Al over there!" Finn said.

"Yeah, there you go." Everyone exclaimed.

"Rom-com!" The girls said.

Izzy's POV

I personally want to watch a romantic comedy.

"This is what we're going to do. We're going to have a competition. So, whoever can show me the best dance move, gets to choose the movie." Peter explained.

"Finn, first. Here we go." Peter said.

"All right." Finn answered.

"Go, Finn go!" We all cheered.

Finn's POV

As I started to stretch, I began to speak.

"Glutes! All right." I said.

"Get it grandpa." Stormy exclaimed.

"All right." I told her.

"Get it going Finn." Izzy said.

"Would you stop rushing me woman." I told her.

"Hehe, sorry." Izzy apologized as I started to dance.

"Oh! Whoo!" Everyone cheered.

I began to shake hands with Bart.

"I have two moves." Lisa said.

"What?" I asked

"Two!" Owlette exclaimed

"Number one." Lisa said as she began to do her first move.

"Oh, look at that!" I exclaimed as Lisa did her second dance move.

"Those really cool acrobatic you know back arch kind of things.

I think Lisa should win the dance." Izzy exclaimed.

Izzy's POV

"What?" I asked as Bart was doing his move.

"Oh! Yeah!" Everyone cheered.

Everyone's moves were amazing but it was clear that Bart won, as we all clapped for him.

"I have to give that to Bart." Peter said.

"Yeah!" Bart exclaimed.

"Bart what do you want to watch?" Peter wanted to know.

"Definitely not a romantic comedy but I don't really care so I'll let Owlette choose." Bart told him.

"Aww!" We all said.

"That's so cute." Finn exclaimed while Owlette started to blush and smile at Bart.

"Mm...oh! Charlie and the chocolate factory." Owlette picked.

"Yeah!" I agreed.

"I love that movie!" Finn cheered.

We all started to watch Charlie and the chocolate factory.

Charlie and the chocolate factory is about a boy that is poor and he ams his grandpa goes to visit a unique chocolate factory and they meet a very interesting person who owns it.

The aim to get yo the chocolate factory you have yo win a golden ticket and it can only be found in Wonka's chocolate bar and there was only five children allowed to go. Each child ends up messing about in the chocolate factory and found have to get fixed and found by the umpa lumpas. Charlie was the only last kid.

"That's just great." Bart said.

The movie was over and we all clapped.

Bart's POV

"Best movie ever, you're welcome! You're welcome!" My girlfriend exclaimed.

"Alright, guys, I think we should play Truth or dare, again." Stormy suggested.

Because only, Pirate Princess, Finn and I got to go last time." Stormy told us.

"I'm down with that." Jale answered.

"I'd love to see someone top mine." Finn exclaimed.

"I dare Bart to kiss Owlette!" Stormy said.

"That's easy." I told her as I put my arm around Owlette and kissed her.

"Aww." Everyone said.

"Jake, truth or dare?" I asked.

"Dare." Jake said.

"I dare you to do the saltine cracker challenge." I said.

The saltine cracker challenge is when you have to eat six crackers in less than 1 minute it's pretty much impossible.

"I'm not doing that." Jake said.

"You have to do what you're dared." Pirate Princess told him.

"No, no, that is just ridiculous." Jake exclaimed.

"Do it, do it!" We all cheered.

"Six, don't make me make it seven." I reminded him.

"Fine! I'll do it." Jake cave in.

"Yes!" Stormy said.

"All right." Finn cheered.

As I passed the crackers into Izzy's hands, Jake looked at the crackers.

"You've got one minute! Time?" I asked as Finn went to look at his wrist to check the time.

"Finn, you have no watch on." Pirate Princess said.

"You don't see this invisible watch right here?" Finn wanted to know.

"Okay." Stormy said.

"All right." Finn exclaimed.

"Marks!" I said as Finn was looking at his invisible watch.

"Set." I exclaimed.

"Go!" Finn finished.

"Salt." I said as Jake began to eat the crackers.

"Really?" Pirate Princess asked.

"Oh!" Jake answered.

"Ew." Pirate Princess said.

"Come on, come on, come on, come on!" Owlette exclaimed.

Izzy's POV

Jake's not really a goofy person...I never thought he would do something like this.

"Say the alphabet, the alphabet, say the Alphabet!" Owlette ordered Jake to say the Alphabet as Pirate Princess passes water to Jake.

"Alphabet!" Finn cheered as Jake muffles the alphabet.

But that's when Jake accidentally spits out the crumbs as we all started to laugh.

"It's your turn Jake, you've got to go." Owlette exclaimed.

"Misty, you have gone yet, truth or dare?" Jake asked.

"Truth." Misty answered as we all began to laugh.

Jake's POV

"Out of every guys in Troupe A, who would you date the most?" I asked as Misty stayed silent for a while as we waited for her answer.

"So, Misty who would you want to date in Troupe A out of the boys?" I asked while Misty still stay silent.

And the reason why I asked this is because I want to know more about her.

"Um...Finn." Misty answered.

"Ooh!" We all said.

"Misty and Finn sitting in a tree k i s s i n g!" Stormy sang.

"Scoochies, scoochies." Finn exclaimed as he sat down next to Misty.

John's POV

As I walked over to stormy, she's been avoiding me ever since I got back. I need to know what's going on.

"What do you want, John?" Stormy wanted to know.

"Well for starters I would have known you still love me." John said.

"Yes...I still do." Stormy answered.

"I also want to know if you still have feelings for Cubby. Do you?" I exclaimed.

"No, I don't." Stormy said.

But in my head, I'm not sure about how Stormy is feeling about me. It's definitely not over for me and her.

"So what does everyone feel like doing?" Jake asked.

"Eating." Stormy answered.

"Yeah I'm starving." Bart exclaimed.

"You're hungry? Well, how about we order pizza." Jake suggested.

"Pizza Pizza!" Everyone cheered apart from Izzy.

Jake's POV

The reason why Izzy didn't cheer for a pizza is because she hates it and she doesn't like it. I can understand that since she's my girlfriend.

"Okay I will order pizza for everyone! And for you Izzy, I am going to order you a ham sandwich from Subway." I told her.

"Yeah?" I said.

"I was thinking maybe we can tell some ghost stories." Finn suggested.

"Yeah, yeah!" Bart said.

"But, everyone's hungry." I told them.

"I'll tell you what, boys versus girls. Whoever gets the most scared buys the pizza." Bart exclaimed.

"Yes!" Finn said.

"Oh it's on!" Izzy exclaimed.

"Someone turn down the lights." Bart ordered as Finn did so.

"Let's do it!" Finn answered.

"Be prepared to be scared." Stormy said.

Pirate Princess's POV

As I started to tell my story, a torch started to shine on my face.

"Okay so one night a couple was driving down a dirt road, and they had just heard on the news that person at escape from a mental asylum and he had a hook for a hand. All of a sudden, the boyfriend doesn't come back so the girl gets out of the car and just as she is about to look up..." I started the story as I handed the torch to Finn after he cut me off.

Finn's POV

"The boyfriend's hanging out from the tree and he's scraping across the roof." Finn said.

"Finn?" Izzy exclaimed.

"How many times have you heard of that one?" Jake asked.

"Heard that one before." I told them.

"Yo Finn you've got this one?" Bart exclaimed.

"I'm all over this bro." I told him.

"You've got it." Bart said.

"All right." I answered.

Bart's POV

"I'm going to get some snacks." I told them.

"I'm a growing a bit I want some real snacks." Bart said as Owlette rolled her eyes.

"Okay, love you!" Owlette exclaimed.

"I love you too my birdie girl." I told her.

Izzy's POV

"Yeah he's a growing boy!" Finn said.

"Some chicken or something." Bart exclaimed.

"All right I want to listen to this." Peter said as he sat down.

"Okay well before I tell you guys this story, I just want to let you know that this very dance studio used to be chicken factory." Finn said.

"No it didn't." Jake said.

"Hahaha, yeah right." Owlette exclaimed.

"Oh yes it did, oh yes it did." Finn answered.

"Actually guys, Finn is correct, this amazing dance studio used to be a chicken factory." Peter said.

"Yeah." Finn exclaimed.

"Look!" Peter said as he pointed to a painting of chickens on the wall.

"I seriously hope we got new floors." Jake said.

"I actually just thought that was for decoration." This place used to be a chicken factory? Ew. I've never eaten chicken again. Those poor animals." I told everyone.

"All right, it's time for my story." Finn said.

Owlette's POV

"Back in the 1920s in this very factory for a lot of chickens." Finn started the story.

As soon as Jake heard a scary chicken in this story, I was about to crack.

"Then one chicken managed to pick the lock with his beak and then all of the other chickens escaped all of them. Until they got all of them back except for one chicken. Modern day, when the security guard was sleeping, this chicken came and picked him to DEATH!" Finn said.

"No!" Jake screamed.

"Yes!" Finn shouted back.

"Jake stop being a little baby it's not even real." I reminded him.

"Says the girl who says that she's not going to eat chicken anymore." Jake said.

"Till this very day, they still haven't found that one chicken." Finn said.

Then all of a sudden, this chicken costume comes running in and scares us.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" We all screamed in terror.

"Got you girls, hahaha!" Bart said.

Apparently it was Bart who took off the head of the chicken and it started laughing.

"That was a priceless! A chicken bird!" Bart laughed.

Bart's POV

"Oh come on Owlette I was only playing around." I told her as I walked over to her.

"That wasn't funny." Owlette exclaimed as she walked out of studio A.

"You know, you guys really know how to take things too far." Izzy told us as she ran up to my girlfriend.

"Owlette wait up!" Izzy exclaimed as she was gone.

"That wasn't funny guys." Stormy said.

"I believe you guys always some pizza." I told them.

"Oh yeah some pizza." Finn said as the girls just ruined their eyes and shook their heads in annoyance.

"With extra chicken!" I said.

"Extra!" Finn exclaimed

"Extra, poultry." Finn told them as the girls just walked out of studio A.

Izzy's POV

"All right thank you very much, I don't need any change back have a great night so go ahead." I told the pizza delivery man.

"Are you sure you don't want any change?" The pizza delivery man I asked.

"I don't need any change back have a great night sir go ahead." I repeated myself as I slammed at the door shut.

"Lisa, go with distract the boys." I exclaimed.

"Have a good night sir." I said to the delivery man as I opened back the door but then closed it afterwards.

Right now, we are going to get back at the boys for that little chicken prank. We are putting hot chili sauce on the pizza.

"Get the hot chili sauce to me, please." Owlette exclaimed as Pirate Princess gave her the hot chili sauce bottle.

"Uh, that's a lot spicy." Pirate Princess told her.

"This piece is for Bart." Owlette answered.

We started to run over to the boys.

"Hey boys we need to speak to you." Pirate Princess told them.

"We've got pizza!" I said.

"Pizza's here!" I exclaimed.

"The pizza is here." Finn said.

"Yeah!" Stormy answered.

"Yo, you pull that in right there right there dig in, dig in!" Bart said.

"I'm about to dig in." Finn told him.

But once Finn opens the box, he started to speak again.

"Yo wait up." Bart said.

"Yeah yummy smells so..." Stormy exclaimed.

"This pizza has hot sauce on it." Bart said.

"No, it doesn't." I told him.

"Okay." Finn answered as he picked up a slice and ate it.

"Oh!" I exclaimed.

"Okay, you're the only did you guys try and pull a prank on us..." Finn started.

"But it failed." Bart finished.

"...Although, you girls made in this picture better." Finn exclaimed.

"A lot better." Bart said.

The boys started to pick up a more slices of pizza. But all of a sudden, we here chief Wiggum come in and he started to speak.

"Hey! What's going on here?" Chief Wiggum asked.

"What?" Bart asked.

"What are you guys doing here? No one, shouldn't be here at this time." Chief Wiggum told us.

"No, no it's okay sir we're here with our teacher." Bart told him.

"PETER!" Jake yelled his name.

"Where'd he go?" Finn asked.

"I don't see any teacher. So let me ask you again, what are you guys doing here?" Chief Wiggum wanted to know.

"There's really nothing to worry about sir." Bart said.

"Don't tell me what to worry about, and wipe that smirk off your face." Chief Wiggum told him.

"We were just enjoying some pizza." Bart explained.

"Why do you keep talking back to me like that?" Chief Wiggum asked.

"I was just answering your question." Bart answered.

"Oh I see, are you trying to impress your friends here? How impressive will it be when you have to call your mommy and daddy to come pick you up from downtown." Chief Wiggum told him as he pulled out handcuffs.

"Okay I don't think the handcuffs are necessary in this situation." Finn said.

"Hey! Was I talking to you?" Chief Wiggum asked.

"No." Finn answered as he stands back.

"Turn around and put your hands behind your back where I can see them." Chief Wiggum exclaimed.

"What?" Bart said.

As Bart begin to turn around and put his hands behind his back, he was about to get handcuffed as we were all stand in there a bit shocked.

Chief Wiggum's POV

I began to playfully smack Bart on the head, and started to laugh as the girls jointed in.

"We got you good!" Owlette exclaimed.

"I couldn't do it anymore!" I said as the boys were shocked.

Lisa started to give me a hug and started to speak.

"We got them." Lisa said.

But instead of a hug, Lisa gave me a high five.

Lisa's POV

I came up with a brilliant idea to bring in Chief Wiggum. He's a cop.

"Did that work? Did that work?" Chief Wiggum asked.

"Wait hold up, Peter are you in this?" Bart wanted to know as Peter put his hands up in defense.

"Well, I..." Peter said as we all laughed.

"All right you guys what and you're saying to a dance party?" Peter exclaimed.

"Yeah! Let's go! Whoo!" We all cheered as we started to dance.

We actually got to spend the night, just hanging out with friends and stop worrying about regionals.

Last night has just showed us all that we really are friends yet there's something that connects us more than a dance. We started to dance to Magic.
