Chapter 2

“Nicole?”
“DC?”
“But you’re dead!”
“So are you!”
“No I’m not!”
”Neither am I!” Nicole said back. “I didn’t know you lived.”
“I didn’t know you had lived either. I just assumed you were dead.”
“Everyone thinks we’re dead. I made it clear to Kai that I didn’t want him to tell the others something, and then I said something like ‘Can’t live. Bye guys.’ They must have believed me,” Nicole said and started to laugh. DC pulled his hood back up.
“Shhh. I think I hear someone coming,” he said and Nicole pulled her hood up too.
“Hey Sam. I know you’re here,” called Ritchie’s voice.
“Damn,” Nicole whispered very quietly.
“C’mon out. I won’t hurt you.” ‘Yeah right,’ Nicole thought. The footsteps came closer and closer, then BANG! Ritchie kicked the box. Nicole or ‘Sam’ fell out. Ritchie saw her, but didn’t see DC or ‘Jack’ inside the box.
“Let me go,” Nicole said sternly.
“No way!” Ritchie said. ‘What’s he doing to her?’ DC wondered. ‘Should I come out?’
“Hey guys! I’ve got her!” he called and the sound of more footsteps reached DC. The words of Ritchie’s leader echoed in his head. ‘Get the girl. The others will handle the boy.’ Ritchie’s grip tightened on Nicole’s shoulders. She wasn’t struggling.
“What do you want from me?” Nicole asked as the other boys approached her.
“Just for you to come for a walk with us. We want to show you something,” Andrew said and he turned around. Ritchie pushed Nicole along and they walked out of that alley and DC got up and followed. He kept his distant and moved swiftly and silently, but soon they reached the real streets. The streets where people work and live. Not the streets behind all of that. They walked until they came across the BEGA building.
“What the hell is BEGA?” Nicole asked as they walked inside. She had noticed DC following her and tried to keep their attention away from him.
“You’ll find out,” Mark said as he knocked on a door.
“Enter.” The door opened and they all walked in to a dark room with a chair facing away from them. As it spun around, Nicole got a huge shock. Brooklyn! He was alive! She acted as if she didn’t know him, but he recognized her straight away.
“So you are alive, Nicole,” Brooklyn said as Ben pulled her hood off.
“So you are alive, Brooklyn,” mocked Nicole. “Why am I here?” Then the door opened. There was a girl standing in the doorway. She had short ginger hair and was wearing a skirt and a t-shirt.
“Brooklyn, sir, the man has been captured,” she said and made way for some guards to bring in DC.
“Isn’t it amazing how you two both lived?” Nicole and DC exchanged the ‘yeah, so?’ looks with each other. “I thought that you would have tried to hide yourselves. But no, make it easy-“
“Who are you working for?” Nicole asked.
“Myself. Why?”
“Wanted to know.”
“Can we go now? Cause this is getting really boring listening to you talking BS,” DC suddenly said.
“Yeah, of course, go. But my boys will be keeping an eye on you two.” They got pushed outside and they walked away. Actually, they ran. They ran all the way to where Nicole’s ‘home’ was. She grabbed everything and then ran to the building where Madame Massey was. She saw an envelope and grabbed it. It had her name on it. DC saw another one, this one with his name on it. They were plain white envelopes and as they walked along the street, DC realised that it was a wedding invitation.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Nicole said as she held it in her hand. “Who’s getting married that we know?”
“Well, these two here,” DC replied and he pointed to his invitation that he had opened.

Chapter 3
He pointed to the words saying Diana and Voke.
“Ohmigod! Those two!” Nicole said and cracked up laughing. “You have got to be kidding!”
”I don’t think that they are. But how did they know we are still alive?” DC asked confused.
“Uh, Diana was writing notes to me and leaving them there. I would always read them and write something back. She swore to me though that she’d never tell anyone,” Nicole admitted and looked at the ground. “Hey! She never saw me! It could have been anyone really!”
“Oh you stupid girl,” DC said and stopped walking. “She can’t always be trusted you know! She’s probably got the cameras ready and lined up for when we enter and then everyone will know we’re alive and then we’ll so be in the shits!” He slapped her across the face hard.
“Don’t you realise that we should come out now! We’ve had a break from it all! I want to go back to my star days!” Nicole yelled back and stormed off.
*The Next Day*
Nicole had gone to everywhere now. She had had her hair cut into a new style and got blonde streaks in, starting from about a quarter way down and then got red tips. It was very silky now and not knotted anymore, unlike it was on the streets. She had gone shopping and found some nice clothes to wear, of course not costing too much. She found some cheap jewellery and soon she was ready to go. She absolutely loved her new look. The wedding wasn’t until next week, but she had to visit a few old friends first. Some very old friends. She walked up to a mansion and knocked on the door. Inside, a voice said “I’ll get that,” and soon the door opened. Standing there was a man, 20 years old, a grown up Kai. His hair was still the same at the front, but was longer at the back and turning into black at the end. He was wearing a black T-Shirt and jeans with a black belt with a white skull and cross bones on it and still had the signature scarf on.
”Who the hell are you?” he asked. “Whoa! Hang on! You’re not, no way! Nicole?” She nodded.
“Yeah it’s me.” He hugged her.
“Why are you here? I thought – everyone thinks you’re dead.”
“I know, but I’m not,” Nicole said as she pulled out of his tight grip. “Otherwise I couldn’t be here. Can I come in now?”
“Yeah. Everyone else is in the third lounge. By everyone else I mean Tyson, Ray, Max, etcetera.” He let her in and then shut the door behind her. She walked into the third lounge and saw grown up versions of her old friends. There was Tyson, still wearing his cap. His hair was a bit longer, he had a red T-Shirt on and blue shorts on and didn’t look chubby anymore. To his left was Ray, still wearing his headband and having his long black hair pulled back. But he wasn’t in his ‘Chinese Uniform’ as Nicole had secretly called it. He was finally in normal clothes; a red, yellow and white T-Shirt and red pants. To his left was Max. His hair hadn’t changed, but his attitude sure had. He was kind of like a Goth Max. He wore just about all black now, and the only other colours he wore was either a little bit of green or orange. Sitting next to him was Emily. She had grown out her ginger hair and it reached down to the middle of her back. She wore a nice pink top and pink skirt, and had Max’s arm around her. ‘So sweet,’ Nicole thought. Then there was Kenny, still looking the same, except his laptop wasn’t to be seen and he wore yellow clothes. Then Hilary. She had also grown out her hair, but just slightly longer than the last time Nicole had seen her and wore a pale blue T-Shirt and a navy blue skirt. And of course Tyson had his arm around her. Between Tyson and Ray there was a gap, obviously where Kai was sitting and they were all passing around beer. Actually Max was, and the others accepted, but didn’t drink much.
“Who’s that Kai?” Ray asked, the first to notice a new person in the house (mansion).
“Guess.”
“Your girlfriend?” Tyson said and laughed. ‘Man, he’s still and idiot!’ Nicole thought as she put her hands on her hips and frowned. ‘Oh well, at least his voice sound like way better. It’s not so bad now. Actually they all sound and look way better.’
“She’s not my girlfriend,” Kai said and clenched his fist and Tyson stopped laughing very quickly.
“New neighbour?” Emily suggested.
“No.” He paused. “Oh come on guys! You know her!”
“No we don’t!” Max said as Kenny pulled out his laptop from behind the chair. He opened files of all of the girls he had stored on the laptop and ran a quick search. He did this technical search thing with facial features and soon came up with who it was.
“Got it. It’s Nicole,” he announced and put it away again.
“Nicole? But she’s dead,” Hilary said and then stared at her. “Okay, yeah. That’s her.”
“Look, I’m not dead. I’ve just been hiding in the streets for a while and then I’ve decided to come back. It’s cause I need help.”
“Did he live too?” Kai asked her, keeping his voice low and barely moving his lips. She scarcely nodded.
“Look, I’m being, uh, hunted. I need help and I know I can trust you guys alright? I really need help otherwise I will actually die this time.”
”What can we do to help then?” Ray asked.


Qoute for Chapter 4:
Who are you? And why do you want to kill people?

Sorry to anybody that i haven't been in touch with lately! I've staying over at a friends house lately.


Chapter 4
“I need help breaking into a place, killing a couple of guys and then walking out again okay? Sounds easy but it’s not.”
”Whoa. Wait a sec. You want us to kill someone?” Kenny asked.
“Not exactly.”
“Hello! Earth to Nicole! For a starter, I’m not even too sure you are Nicole. Plus, if we kill someone and get caught we’ll end up in jail. I’m not letting that happen okay?” Tyson yelled at her.
“Okay, just kidding with that killing bit all right? You know me. I just want to break into a place, talk to a few guys and then walk back out okay? Easy as.”
“How do we even know she is Nicole? She’s been dead for like three years now!” Emily said.
“I can run a DNA test. I’ve got some of her DNA in my laptop from when she was ‘alive’,” Kenny suggested. “DNA never lies.”
“I’m with the computer freak,” Tyson said.
“Can you come here and give me one of your hairs please?” he asked and Nicole cooperated, moved over and pulled out a hair. Kenny slipped it into a compartment and a red light flashed across the screen.
Then blue words appeared on the screen saying MATCH and the familiar voice of Dizzi said, “Yep. That’s a match guys. She’s Nicole.” Tyson pulled a face at Kenny’s laptop. “Dude! I saw that!”
“Don’t believe it. It really is you huh?” Tyson asked.
“Duh, of course it is! I don’t lie that much!” Nicole said and rolled her eyes.
“You haven’t changed that much have you?” Tyson said.
“Neither have you.”
“So, you need help breaking into a place, talking to some guys and then walking back out again?” Ray asked.
“Yeah, unless I go and flirt with a guy to let me walk straight in and back out again, but then he’ll think I like him. That will lead to problems because he lives on the streets. One little accidental flirt can lead to death you know,” Nicole said. “Best friend got killed by a random guy cause she flirted without realising and the guy asked her out. She turned it down and the next day she was dead. That was only last week. Since then I have been totally avoiding that guy as much a possible. But he really likes me. I’m just staying away from him; I don’t want to be dead. Anyway, can you guys help me for a while? Please?” Nicole pleaded.
“Do we get anything in return?” Max asked as he got up and walked into the kitchen and grabbed some more beer from the fridge. He walked back in and passed Nicole a can.
“Well, what do you want?” she asked.
“A hell of a lot of stuff,” was Max’s reply as someone knocked on the door.
“I’ll get that again,” Kai murmured and walked out of the room.
“Like?”
“Well.” He stood up and walked over to her.
“What?”
“You could show me where everyone on the streets live,” he whispered in her ear.
“Apart from me and a few others. But yeah, that would be correct. I could do that any time, even right now Max.” ‘Man he has changed a heap. Used to a quitting boy, a Mummy’s boy, but now he’s not,’ she thought to herself as Kai returned.
“Yo Nicole, there’s this guy at the door that wants you. He says he’s a recent friend from the streets. Do you know him?” he said as he walked into the room.
“Looks like?”
“Blonde hair, slight accent, quite a tall guy really.”
“Name?”
“Rich, Ritcho, Richard, something like that.”
“Oh God. Was it Ritchie?” she asked and looked worried.
“Yeah, that’s it. Ritchie.” Nicole walked briskly to the door and opened it.
“Look Ritchie, I don’t care what you want, but you’re not going to get it okay?” Ritchie stared at her.
“What the hell are you on about?” he asked puzzled. Nicole got annoyed so quickly.
“What am I on about? What a stupid question! You know what I’m on about! You like me and cause I lived on the streets, you think I’m a slut, but I’m not! And don’t even begin to think that I’d-“ she started but Ritchie put his hand over her mouth.
“Look, I don’t know what you are on about okay? Yeah okay I slightly like you, but not that much all right? I know I’ve betrayed Brooklyn and he’s brainwashed me. But what I don’t know is what’s going on. I’m left with only a few memories, one being that you hate Brooklyn, and I just happened to know where you were and I found you. I don’t know how I knew though. It was as if I knew where you were. I want to get revenge on Brooklyn for killing my sister okay? I need your help. Please Nicole,” Ritchie begged.
“You just knew I was here?”
“Yeah, just knew you were here. I don’t even know whose house this is. I don’t know what I’ve done to you and why you hate me, but I really need your help.”
“Okay, come in,” Nicole said as she stepped aside. “You swear though that you don’t work with those other boys, Ben, Andrew, Josh, Mark-“
“No way, I swear I don’t work with them or for them.” ‘How did he just know? He can’t be psychic too can he?’ she thought. ‘Nah, no way!’
“Guys, this is my friend, Ritchie. He lives on the streets too.”
“Yo, can you show me the streets now?” Max asked her.
“Sure. C’mon lets go then.” She walked back out, Max following her, then everyone else.

Welcome to my old life, the streets.



And if anyone who is trying to get in contact with Edge Hottie, she said she's going off the otaku. i'll try to get her back on so someone send her a PM to try and get her back on, cause she ain't listening to me! AARGH!



Chapter 5
They walked all the way until they were quite close to the burnt down building. She turned down a very dark alley and continued to walk down it. Stray cats and dogs ran past, a few dogs taking a shot or two at them. Soon they reached light and there were the streets. It was very full of people.
“Welcome to my home yall,” Nicole said as they all stared around in amazement.
“Wow!”
“It’s huge!”
“I’d say!”
“Oh no!” Ritchie suddenly said.
“What?” Nicole asked, even though she knew the answer.
“There,” he replied and pointed to 6 men walking towards them. They were the obvious, Ben, Andrew, Josh, Ethan and Mark. And hey! Brooklyn too.
“Okay, we need to run all right?” Nicole asked as she took off running in the opposite direction and everyone using their common sense, ran too. Soon they reached a large space of concrete with ropes surrounding an area of about 10 metres by 10 metres.
“What the hell is this?” Kai asked himself.
“Oh, that’s just a place for a street activity. So not you though, so I wouldn’t actually bother to attend it,” said Ben. Then they realised that the men blocked the only entrance. They all pulled out loaded guns out of their pockets. Brooklyn and Ben stayed at the entrance and held their guns down, but the others moved forward to them, guns also down, but their finger on the trigger.
“We’re bored, so we decided to come and get some people to entertain us,” Josh said.
“Street entertaining, you know,” Andrew said as he walked up to Nicole.
“We want some of you,” Mark finished.
“You too, Ritchie,” Ethan said.
“And believe me, if you refuse,” Brooklyn said slowly and tightened his hands on his gun. At the same time, Andrew pointed his gun to Nicole’s head and Ethan the same but to Ritchie’s head. The two froze.
“We could do with another girl huh?” Josh asked and he looked at Hilary.
“No seriously, please no.” Josh raised his gun too and Hilary immediately fell silent.
“And we could do with another guy too right?” Mark asked and looked at Max.
“No,” Max said and then looked at the gun Mark was holding.
“Move,” Mark said and nodded where Ben and Brooklyn were. Max walked to where Ben and Brooklyn were standing and kept on walking.
“Go,” Josh said to Hilary, but Tyson grabbed her arm.
“Seriously man, leave her alone,” he said and Ben went into action and walked over to him.
“Leave the girl alone and I don’t shoot.” Tyson let go and Hilary walked away too. “That goes for anyone else. Leave them alone or we will shoot.” Andrew told Nicole to move. Nicole didn’t move.
“Go. Move. Now,” Andrew said and nudged her into the wall with his shoulder. He then aimed his gun at her heart. “I’m serious. Go now.” She stared him in the eyes. Ritchie moved in front of her.
“Don’t shoot her.”
“What are you going to do, Ritchie? I’ll shoot ya’s both. How’s that sound?” Andrew asked and smirked.
“What the hell are you doing?” Nicole asked him silently so only he could hear her. “And why?”
“I don’t know what I’m doing! I couldn’t control myself and I moved in front of you. Why? I don’t know. It just happened,” was Ritchie’s reply. Nicole leaned on his right shoulder and saw Andrew taking a few steps back and aiming.
“You can fire at me, can you Andrew?” Nicole asked, knowing he couldn’t shoot her. “You can’t shoot either me or Ritchie. You just can’t do it.”
“Watch me,” Andrew said and aimed right for Ritchie’s heart, right where behind his was Nicole’s heart.



Qoute for Chapter 6:
Shoot me.


And i am proud to announce that I have finished this story and have started a new one! 3 chapters down allready!



Chapter 6
Andrew couldn’t do it. He couldn’t fire. But he could fight them. He lowered his gun and looked at the ground. Then he suddenly leapt out and punched Ritchie in the face, drawing blood. He also pushed Nicole hard, back into the wall. Her blade in her right pocket rammed into her thigh, leaving a deep wound. Nicole fell to her knees and yelled out in pain and shock.
“You two! Move now! Andrew, cut it out!” Brooklyn said as he aimed his gun at them. They both obeyed. They both knew that Brooklyn wouldn’t hesitate to fire at all. “And no one tells. We’ll give them back soon.” Brooklyn made his exit and the others were moved along to a cell. It was quite small, had only two what you call ‘double beds’ in the streets, one window with bars across it, well, it was really just a cell. They got pushed into it and the door slammed shut. Ethan stayed guard. He sat down on a chair and rested his gun on his lap and watched them. Hilary sat down on the bed closest to the window and soon lied down. Max stared out the window, his hands resting on the bars.
“I thought we were street mates dude,” Ritchie said, looking at Ethan.
“I’m not your friend no more Ritchie in case you hadn’t noticed yet,” Ethan said. “I’ll give you guys a tip though. Watch what you say, Brooklyn will kill you. He’s not scared you know.”
“Really man, what happened?” Ritchie whispered and turned. He sat down next to Nicole and silently talked to her as she gripped her leg.
“How ‘bout we blade? Haven’t seen you in action for a while,” Max asked as he sat down on her other side.
“Guess it can’t hurt to,” Nicole replied and she reached into her pocket to grab her blade. Then she said in shock, “My blade’s gone!”
“Serious?” Hilary asked. She knew that Nicole’s feelings hadn’t changed about her beyblade. She always had it on her, even in bed, in the shower and in her shows.
“Oh no. This is so bad,” Nicole commented as she rested her head in her hands. “Drydzia is so gonna hate me. No, he can’t hate me! Maybe he will. I’m so, freakin’, annoyed!”
“Hey, look, just calm down and everything will be fine okay?” Hilary said and walked over to the other bed. “It’s getting dark, we should all get some sleep right?”
“Yeah, you’re right,” Nicole agreed and she climbed into the bed she was sitting on.
“And we sleep where?” Max asked.
“The floor,” Hilary replied with a serious look on her face.
“No clue,” Nicole said.
“Ha ha really funny. Flip the coin?” Ritchie asked Max.
”Heads is I get her, tails you do.”
“Who?”
“Hilary.” Ritchie got a coin out of his pocket and flipped it, landing on heads. “You get Hilary, I get Nicole.”
“Ooohhh yay!” Hilary said sarcastically. Ethan walked away, not knowing of what was about to happen.


Qoute for Chaper 7:
Nightmare.



And it isn't about The Thuganomics, just about the original Beyblade charecters. And of course with my charecter. i won't ruin it though, that just wouldn't be nice.



Chapter 7:
That very night, while everyone was sleeping, Nicole and Ritchie were having a horrible nightmare. It was when the other one got shot and then they got shot too. Suddenly they sat up, puffing heavily and sweating, dreading going asleep again.
“Hey,” Ritchie said between his heavy breathing, noticing her and making her jump.
“Oh, hey,” she replied and lied back down, acting as if nothing had happened. Then it happened. She saw DC’s face peering through the bars on the window. “DC?” she hissed and Ritchie looked too. She got out and ran silently up to him.
“Hey,” he said.
“Thank God you’re here! How are you gonna get us out?” she said and smiled.
“I haven’t exactly figured that out yet,” he said slightly feeling embarrassed. “Down there on the ground is Eddie, the lovers and Chelsea. They don’t know it’s you; I just said Max and Hilary. Hey who’s that? They’re in trouble! Look, I need to go for a sec okay? I’ll be back soon, I promise.” DC disappeared and Nicole woke up Max and Hilary. Meanwhile down on the ground, DC had noticed a girl and a boy with street body language talking to his buds. He jumped down from the tree and saw a very beautiful woman standing beside a man. He was obviously in love with her and they were challenging them to a beyblade match. Eddie was about to accept, but DC butted in.
“No we can’t. Not right now,” he said.
“Why not? It’ll be a bit of fun won’t it?” Eddie complained and then saw the p.o.-ed look on DC’s face.
“We aren’t fighting okay?” DC said sternly. “Our friends are in there, and if you help me get them out, you’ll see someone you know and want to see again okay? Please just help.”
“Okay, okay fine,” Chelsea said. “What do we do?”
“Who are you busting out?” the woman asked.
“Friends,” Diana replied and then saw Hilary’s face up by the bars. She smiled and saw DC climbing back up the tree.
“We obviously need to get the bars out okay?” DC said.
“I can do that,” the lady said and she pulled out her beyblade. She let it rip and her beyblade flew up to the window, just missing DC’s head as he talked to Max. “Pandmonii (pronounced as pand-mo-knee-eye)! Break those bars with Pandmonium!” Her beyblade turned invisible and then attacked the bars without a warning. Her beyblade came back down and into her hand and the bars silently broke.
“Nice job Maria,” the male said.
“Thanks Ty,” Maria replied. “See? I told you guys I could.” DC helped out Max, barely reaching him; the tree was actually further away than he thought. Hilary came out next and Max was already on the ground. Hilary reached the ground just as Ritchie was completely out.
“Do we know him?” Voke asked.
“No. No clue that is,” Eddie said as he watched DC. He was waiting up the tree, helping out another person.
“Oh my gosh! It’s Nicole!” Diana screamed and she hugged Voke.
“It is too!” Chelsea said as she saw her climbing out and jumping down out of the tree. She ran straight over to her friends and started to hug everyone.
“Hey guys!” she said.
“Look, hate to break this all up, but shouldn’t we be away from here? What if Brooklyn is around here, waiting on us?” Ritchie asked.
“He’s not,” Ethan said and they all spun around. He was standing there holding a gun, most likely the same one he had before, and still loaded.
“Seriously man, don’t shoot okay?” Ritchie said.
“I’m not gonna shoot you. I’ve just shot Brooklyn.” Nicole’s jaw dropped. That was one less evil person she had to fight! Ethan took out the ammo of his gun, dropped the gun and then disposed of the ammo quickly. “Lets get outta here quickly, the others will be alert soon.” They all ran and ran (including Maria and Ty) until they were completely out of the streets and back to Kai’s mansion.
“Thank you so much Maria. We couldn’t have gotten out if you weren’t there,” Nicole said to Maria as she sat down puffing hard like the rest.
“No prob. After all you are a superstar with hit records,” Maria complemented.
“Yeah, but I’m dead remember?” Nicole joked.
“No you’re not,” Ty said. “You’re standing right here right now. You can’t be dead.” Then he faced the other thugs. “How about we have that beybattles we wanted earlier on?”
“Sure,” Eddie said before DC could say no, but DC actually nodded along.
“Oh no! I forgot to say, I’ve lost my beyblade!” Nicole exclaimed just as Kai walked into the room.
“What the hell are you guys doing in here at midnight? And who are these three?” he snapped, staring at Maria, Ty and Ethan.
“New friends, Maria, Ty and Ethan,” Hilary answered. “And we’ve just escaped death in case you didn’t know.”
“Uh huh. Really,” Kai said.
“Look, can I just sleep? I haven’t had the best sleep lately,” Nicole asked.
“Swear you’ll reappear in the star world?” Kai asked and Nicole nodded.
“Of course. I miss all of the limos, butlers and shows,” she replied and Kai showed them to a room.



Qoute for Chapter 8:
We want it all back! Now!



And I really have had a lot of fun trying to get the story from my charecter, the "I" charecter. So now in this story, you get the thoughts from my charecter, because it is I this, I that, not Nicole this, DC that. Now you get her thoughts all the time!


Chapter 8:
*Next Morning At About 8:30 am*
Everyone woke up around the same time and The Thuganomics dressed up. Well they put on their best hooded tops and pants. They also had their hoods up, covering most of their faces. After Nicole and DC disappeared, the others stopped singing and started to live a nearly normal and perfect life. They walked to their old record company. After entering, they were told they could enter the boss’s office. Nicole knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Mr Marino said and they six thugs entered. When he saw them, he was slightly annoyed. “Look, I’m not accepting any more stupid, pathetic street thugs who think they can sing when they can’t okay?”
“Don’t call us stupid or pathetic,” Nicole said and she drew back her hood at the same time the others did too.
“Nicole? DC? But… you are dead!” Mr Marino said in shock.
“No we’re not,” DC said.
“We want our record contract back,” Diana said.
“We’ve got new hit singles already written down,” Chelsea said.
“And new dance routines,” Eddie said. He was the main one who came up with dances.
“We can see it already, The Thuganomics Return Tour. It’s a great idea. We’d make millions,” Voke said, trying to convince Mr Marino.
“Hang on. You guys really are The Thuganomics right?” he asked.
“Of course!”
“Yeah!”
”We wouldn’t lie,” Diana said. “Would we guys?”
“Actually I would, but not over something like this!” Nicole remarked.
“How do I prove you are really The Thugs?” Mr Marino asked and the six exchanged glances.
“Uh, we could sing,” Chelsea suggested. “Only we sound like ourselves.”
“Okay then. Get in the recording studio and sing. What song?” Mr Marino said. He was already quite sure that they were The Thugs; he just wanted to make sure they were.
“Just play the music to Razzle Dazzle,” Nicole said, one of her favourite songs. Mr Marino agreed and got his workers to ready to play it as they put on their equipment. Everyone was soon ready and they began to sing. Their voices were slightly different as they were older, but they were obviously The Thugs. Mr Marino just stared at them after they had finished. His jaw dropped, and then he started to clap. Everyone else did too, and Mr Marino realised that this was his big chance to make millions. They were really back.
“Okay, here’s what is going to happen. We are going to see some of those songs and dance routines, cause you guys have one massive contract to sign!” Mr Marino announced and they thugs were over-joyed. They were back to being superstars! “I’ll find a date for your first concert and we’ll work out some songs, etc, you know, your ordinary stuff. I expect you guys still take up the same positions to keep everything going right?”
“Uh, suppose so,” Eddie said looking at the others. Nicole handled the vocal practise, Chelsea wrote a lot of the songs, Diana designed most of the costumes, Voke did most of the show’s lighting, DC did most of the musical instruments, and he did the dances.
“Great! I’ll leave you guys to a room and there will be everything there that you need! And there is another new band staying here too. The Fire Five, made up of Harrison, Don, Jase, Steve and Luke. DC, if you haven’t changed, can you please try to be nice. They are you age too by the way,” Mr Marino said and he gave Diana a key. It had ‘1’ engraved in it.
“That’s right! We’re gonna be number 1 again!” Diana yelled as soon as he had left.
“After we find our room,” Voke said and walked out of the room. After finding their room, they were really happy. This might have been their old room, but it had obviously been renovated. There were small, posh rooms of a normal house, but the other parts were amazing! The recording room was a gorgeous dark red and had a lot of fancy equipment in it. Next door to that room with a panel of glass as a wall was a big, blue room full of flash new instruments. There was also a dance studio with the latest stereo out and large speakers. There was also changing rooms to the side and there were also steps in one corner leading up to the ceiling just above the room. Voke went up there only to find he could have control over all of the lights and anything else electrical. Then everyone, apart from Eddie who was busy turning up a song really loud, went into a small room. It had a computer sitting on the desk beside the window and a lot of paper. As soon as Voke shut the door behind him, no noise was heard.
“Sound proof?” he asked himself and opened the door again. J-Kwon’s Tipsy song blared into the room loudly and he quickly shut it again. “Yes.”
“I’d say that this is my little room then,” Chelsea said. Nicole walked out and shut Eddie’s door. It immediately blocked off the sound.
“Yeah! The walls are all sound proof!” she said and they left Eddie to dance and moved on to Diana’s room.
“Wow!” Diana exclaimed as she walked into the only room not explored yet. It had a lot of fashion designs up on the wall, lots of paper and blue-tack, yet another computer (once again by the window), a huge dresser full of material of every colour, the obvious to make clothes (thread, a sewing machine, measuring tape, etc), a mirror that took up the whole side of one wall, and fake mannequins to put on her clothes (three were male figures, three were female figures). This was just what they needed and wanted. DC got Eddie and they all gathered in the lounge.
“Okay, I reckon that today we just figure out either new tunes, new routines, new hits, just new whatever. We should go and meet those other people, the what’s again?” Nicole suggested.
“The Fire Five,” Chelsea replied, rolled her eyes and giggled.
“Yeah, those guys. Just to be nice though. They could be really great singers, so it might be a good idea.”
“But not as good as us,” DC said.
“No. No one is as good as us,” Voke replied.
“You got that right!” Eddie said and he went out onto the balcony. He was the first to realise it was there.
“Okay then! Get to work guys! I’ll see if I can find those guys okay? I don’t think we should sing right now,” Nicole said and walked out as the others went to work.


Qoute for Chapter 9:
The Fire Five.



And I know that all of these last few chapters have seemed like a big heap of BS, but it's not. It actually pays a huge part in my story. Because if you didn't know all of this "usless information" as it may seem right now, once you get further on, you'll see why I needed it in there. It just doesn't make sense when someone dies in a place they haven't been before, right?



Chapter 9:
She looked on the list of people staying in the building, and she found The Fire Five staying in room number 3. She went and knocked on the door. Don answered it. He was a cute enough guy with short, orange-brown hair, blue eyes and was wearing a t-shirt and jeans.
“Hey Harrison and Luke! What one of you has this girl?” Don shouted.
“What?!” Nicole said obviously confused as Harrison and Luke both came to the door. Harrison was had short brown hair with blonde in it, blue eyes, wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Luke had black hair, green eyes and was wearing a t-shirt and jeans.
“Not me, but I’ll have her if she ain’t yours Luke,” Harrison said. His voice was sweet and his eyes gazed at Nicole admiring her.
“Uh, I’m from room number 1 and I was told to go and see you guys,” Nicole explained, and saw Steve and Jase come up behind the other boys. Jase had very dark brown hair, brown eyes and was wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Steve had dark blonde hair, light blue eyes and was wearing a t-shirt and jeans.
“And you are?” Steve asked her.
“Who do I look like?” Nicole asked. ‘This is hopeless,’ she thought as the men gazed at her. “Do I have to spell it out? I’m Nicole from The Thuganomics!”
“But she’s dead,” Jase said and looked at her as if she was insane.
“No, I’m not. If you don’t believe me, then follow me and the rest will tell you I am alive,” Nicole said and walked away back to her room. Surprisingly, the guys followed her and she walked into her room. She walked into the closest room, which was the dance studio. There Eddie was writing down a new dance routine and Voke was up the stairs, making the lights go different shades of blue. “Yo Eddie! I’m alive right?” Eddie looked up.
“Yeah! Of course!” he said back. “Who are they?”
“Those Fire Five people,” Nicole replied and Voke came down the stairs. He walked right past without saying anything. Eddie started to talk to the other boys and Nicole left, silently following Voke to Diana’s room. He walked in and shut the door. ‘Damn! Now I can’t hear what he’s saying!’ Nicole thought to herself. But then Diana screamed. That wall wasn’t that sound proof. She opened the door and saw Voke walked over to the window. Diana was hanging back.
“What happened?” Nicole asked.
“I heard something scratching and banging at the window. I also saw something moving. It was really loud,” she said as Voke opened the window and looked out. Suddenly a black and gold object came flying through the window, barely missing Voke, and landing at Nicole’s feet.
“My beyblade!” Nicole said as the little blade spun at her feet. It flew up into her pocket and stopped spinning. Nicole sighed a sigh of relief. “How about we go and talk to those fire guys? Once again, they could actually be quite good.”
“Sure,” Diana said and followed Nicole out to the dance studio. There she saw the Fire Five dancing really well. They were good break-dancers and could do anything. Absolutely any move you said to do, they could master it.
“We’re up against that?” DC whispered to Nicole, making her jump. She didn’t know he was there. She nodded and watched Steve dance. He was really good at it, but for some reason he was showing his opposition, the people who were fighting against him for the number 1 spot. Yet he kept on going until the power went off and the music stopped and the lights went off too.
“Voke!” Eddie yelled sounding annoyed. He was actually stealing Steve’s ideas for his own dance. The power came back on and Voke shouted a sorry down to them. The Fire Five soon decided to leave because lunch was soon and they were going out.
“Okay guys, I’ve got the perfect routine for our next song. Well, actually it’s for the new song that Chelsea wrote called ‘Blood And Me’. DC has already got the music recorded and it’s on this CD right here right now. Diana also went and brought some cool clothes before and has successfully modified them to look great. They are apparently hanging up in your changing rooms right now, so if you guys can get changed and then I can show you guys the dance okay?” Eddie said and watched them nod and go and get changed. After they came back, Chelsea was wearing a red cap with a black and white The Thuganomics logo on it, big looped earrings, a white and black ring, a white necklace, a low cut red top that cut off above her belly button, with a black and white The Thuganomics logo on it and with a bit of the black top showing underneath, a shade lighter than navy blue jeans with a big black belt on it with silver studs all the way around. DC was wearing a white t-shirt with a red top over the top with the buttons undone and was wearing black track pants. Diana was wearing a black and white cap with a red The Thuganomics logo on it, a black choker with silver studs on it, a red top cutting off above her belly button with black patterns on it, a red band on her left hand, looped earrings, dark blue jeans with a black belt on it with a bit of red near the front of it. Eddie had changed into the just about opposite of DC, a red t-shirt with a white t-shirt over the top with the buttons undone, and black track pants. Nicole was wearing big looped earrings, a few black and silver necklaces, two thick black and red bands around her right arm, a low cut white tank top stopping above her belly button, with a red top underneath with the right strap tied in a knot together further down her arm, a black belt with silver studs on it, red nail polish and dark brown nearly black jeans. Voke was wearing exactly the same as DC.
“Hey cool. Now listen to this,” Eddie said and he pressed play. After they listened to the music, they were ready. It was fast, cool and new, and everyone liked it.
“Now it needs voices right?” Nicole asked as she grinned.
“Shouldn’t we be doing that first?” Diana asked.
“Yep. We always did,” Nicole replied and looked at Eddie. He gave in and then they went into the recording studio. 1 hour later, they had completed the music with words and had had lunch.
“Now can I show you the dance?” Eddie asked.
“Yes, you can,” Chelsea said. Eddie grabbed two bits of paper and handed one to Chelsea and the other to Voke. They read through it and decided it was cool.
“It’s great huh?” Eddie asked as the others finished reading.
“Apart from the bits that Steve was doing, yeah it’s cool,” DC said and glared at Eddie who shrugged.
“Couldn’t help it. As long as no one knows then we’ll be fine,” Eddie said. “Besides, they’re modified a bit, so he won’t know.”
“Yeah he will,” Diana said and she walked over to her position on the stage. It was right up by the line at the back. In other words, she started at the very back of the stage. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Eddie went up the front, Nicole and Voke in the middle and DC joined Diana at the back. Eddie went and pressed play and the music once again started, this time with their voices. Chelsea started to lip sing as her voice started to sing and the others danced too. Then she quickly went up and paused it.
“What’s that for? Keep it going, Chelsea!” Nicole said. Then someone knocked at the door again. Chelsea poked out her tongue and then went to answer it.
“Hi!” she said as she opened the door. There was Tyson.
“Yeah hi. Something really bad has happened,” he said. He looked like he was about to burst into tears.
“Oh, what happened?” Chelsea asked.
“Max is dead.”



Quote for Chapter 10:
Yet another.


I hope that so far it is interesting. I mean, Max is DEAD! Isn't that a turn in the story? Everything seems all perfect and happy, but then they loose a friend! Not all perfect and happy, is it? No!



Chapter 10:
“What?! Really?” Chelsea said and felt tears come to her eyes. “I am so sorry.” She could barely speak and walked back to the dance studio.
“Hey Chels, what’s wrong?” Nicole asked as she saw Chelsea just about in tears. Then she saw Tyson walk in, also just about in tears.
“What’s happened?” Diana asked as she walked up to her and put her arm around her.
“Max is dead,” Chelsea managed to say.
“True?” Voke asked Tyson and he nodded back as a reply.
“Yeah. He got stabbed to death. The murderer hasn’t been found yet though.”
“I am so sorry to hear that,” Nicole said, but really thinking that she didn’t actually care. Then someone else knocked on the door. Nicole went to answer it. ‘This has to be the perfect time to knock on my door huh?’ she asked herself and opened the door.
“Surprise!” Ritchie said and hugged her. He was wearing a cool leather jacket with the buttons undone, showing a white top underneath, and dark navy jeans.
“Hey!” She grabbed him and they kissed. “How did you find me? I just left!”
“Well it wasn’t that hard. I know you. You love to run away,” Ritchie said and he let go. There was DC staring at them. ‘It’s about time she liked someone,’ he thought.
“Come in,” Nicole said and stepped aside. When she turned around, DC had disappeared again. “Just heard that Max got stabbed to death, but I don’t-“
“Really care, cause number one, I’m used to that kind of stuff happening and number two, I didn’t like him. I know,” Ritchie said and they walked into the dance studio. “Flash place you guys got.”
“It is eh?” Nicole said, slightly proud.
“So I guess we’re invited to his funeral then?” Eddie asked. Nicole had obviously missed out on all of the conversation.
“Yeah. But he isn’t gonna have one yet. We all want to see who killed him, so there is a bunch of guys from the Crime Lab trying to figure out who killed him. You know, just like on CSI. Just this time it’s for real. Max really is dead,” Tyson answered. “They’ll want to talk to you guys probably, since you are his friends. I guess I better be going then.” Tyson walked out of the building.
“Hey, when did you get here?” Eddie asked Ritchie, only just noticing that he was there.
“About in the middle of all of this,” Ritchie replied. “Why?”
“Just wondering. Whoa! Times gone fast! It’s already time for dinner!” Eddie exclaimed. Sure enough, it was quite dark outside and the clock read 7:30pm.
“Maybe we should eat,” Chelsea said and clutched her stomach.
“Yeah,” DC said and walked out and downstairs to the restaurant. Chelsea and Eddie both went there too, but the other four went to a fancy restaurant just a few buildings away.
“Man time flies,” Voke said as he picked up the menu.
“I know! We were practicing, then we got the news, and then it’s 7:30!” Diana said as she sat down beside him. Nicole and Ritchie sat down on the other side of the table.
“Wow! What a menu!” Nicole exclaimed as she read some of the dishes she could order. A bald waiter soon came over and took their orders. “So Diana, is this fake or for real?” Nicole reached into her jeans and passed it over to her. It was the wedding invitation that she had received. Diana opened it.
“Yeah, of course! See!” Diana held out her right hand and sure enough, there was an expensive, diamond wedding ring on her finger.
“I thought you were kidding!” Nicole said. “Oh congratulations Diana!”
“Thank you! How are you Ritchie?” Diana asked.
“Great. Why’d you ask?” Ritchie replied.
“Just wondering,” Diana answered back. Then she realised Ritchie just staring at her. “What?”
“Yo Ritchie! Wake up!” Nicole said and waved her hand in front of his face. ‘What are you doing?’ she asked him. ‘She hates you Nicole,’ Ritchie replied. ‘What!?’ Nicole thought. ‘Sorry, but she does. She’s thinking that right now,’ Ritchie thought-said and Nicole sighed. “Snap out of it Ritchie!” Ritchie’s eyes darted away from Diana and to Nicole. ‘Thank you,’ Nicole said. The waiter came back with their meals and they all enjoyed a nice meal.
“Want a drink Ritchie?” Voke asked.
“You said you’d stop,” Diana hissed.
“Sure,” Ritchie said and the boys walked over to the bar.
“He said he’d stop drinking, but he hasn’t!” Diana said as he left.
“Hey c’mon girl! That’s his prob, not yours. I wouldn’t worry about it,” Nicole said. “How do you feel about Max being dead?”
“What kind of answer do you want? A I don’t care or a I am so sorry for your loss?” Diana said and cracked up laughing. Nicole shrugged. They continued to talk until it was 10 o’clock on the dot. Then they went back to their room. But before they could enter the building, there was an ambulance parked outside the building. Voke and Ritchie were on the edge of getting drunk, and didn’t pay much notice. Then the crew of the ambulance came rushing out of the building with someone on the stretcher.
“Is that-“ Diana said, breaking off in the middle of her sentence as she realised that yes, it was. Nicole gasped and ran over. There was the rest of her friends jumping in the ambulance and Chelsea was on the stretcher with a lot of blood on her. Nicole jumped into it too, with Diana, Voke and Ritchie following.
“What happened?” Nicole asked Eddie and DC.
“Eddie found her lying there on the ground covered in blood. He called me and I called the ambulance,” DC explained as the ambulance set off on a rickety journey. They were speeding down the road to the hospital and the doctors in the back with them were urging the driver to drive faster. They arrived at the hospital’s emergency room and they followed Chelsea into the building. She was lead right into the emergency operating room and the thugs were left outside to wait and hope. After one and a half hours, a doctor came out.
“I’m sorry, but she’s dead,” he said and walked back into the room. Diana collapsed into Voke’s arms crying. DC’s head started to spin and he sat down. Nicole cried into Ritchie’s shoulder. One of their best friends had just died.
