Chapter 12 - also by Emily

Back in the cave the Ali, Heather, Susanne and the rest of the Campbellford youth were trying to make the time go by faster by doing some karaoke. Unfortunately that had backfired when the local drama teacher, Mr. Henwood found out and would not stop singing Mariah Carey songs. Everyone was suffering, and there was getting to be a lack of chocolate in the caves. Susanne was just about to karate chop someone when the door burst open.
Standing in the doorway was 2 silhouettes. You could tell one was Emily because of the rather large shape of the butt, but the other one was a mystery. Not for very long though. Someone moved a light onto the figures. In the background you could faintly hear Mr. Henwood complaining because the spot light had been taken off of him. Everyone could now clearly see Emily, with her hair all tangled and frizzy, and in her eyes was that hollow look of someone who had given up their hope long ago. Beside her Esther was looking very cheery and bright, although that could have been because of her buttons. Emily saw Ali, Heather, Susanne and the rest of her friends and stumbled towards them to receive a nice big group hug. After Emily had eaten the last of the chocolate supply (trying to ignore the evil stare that she was getting from Susanne) she felt good enough to take part in the planning. Esther let everyone in on her brilliant plan and they all got to work.....
*the next day*
Everyone was in place. Esther was all dressed up in normal antagonist clothes (high waisted pants and horrid sweaters with normal buttons). The Teen Girls were hiding in the gazebo ready for the signal.
As planned Esther approached the large group of antagonists who were outside in Old Mill Park. They were playing chess and, if they were feeling really lively, Shuffleboard!! The Teen Girls watched anxiously as Esther sat down next to the olds. Yes!!! she was in!!! Step 1 complete. Now for Step 2
Esther started to mouth words as if she was talking normally but there was no sound coming out. Everyone knew how loud Esther was, it was legendary. So the olds were getting confused, hmm, they thought, I guess it’s time to turn up the hearing aid again.
The Teen Girls saw virtually all of the antagonists reach up and turn up their hearing aids. Esther continued to mouth words as if nothing odd were happening. Again, they all turned up their hearing aids. This process was repeated several times. Finally Esther gave the Teen Girls the signal. The Teen Girls then contacted Evan, their special Music Technician, through their complicated system of tin cans on a piece of string. Evan was standing beside a huge pair of speakers.
"Ok, Now!!!"
"Alright!! I was thinking of playing a delicate mix of Rush, Relient K, My Chemical Romance, Saves the Day, The Used, Matthew Good, uuum, maybe some Weezer, ya, and Blue Rodeo, Queen, The Who, oh ya, this is going to be soooo gooood! And The Spades and then some Jimmy Eat World, uh huh, and a little.."
"Evan"
"Yes"
"Shut up. Just play the music"
"oh, ok" Evan sounded a little hurt but he started his brilliant and complex music mix anyway.
By this time the old people had turned their hearing aids all the way up. The Teen Girls watched and enjoyed. The music was loud and young. The old people did not know what hit them. The music was like a wave crashing over all of them. Many were screaming in pain at the severe damage that had been done to their hearing. They all cranked their hearing aids back down and ran for cover but it was too late, the Teen Girls had won this one. Yes!!! things were beginning to turn around for them. Will things stay this way? Will Esther stick around? Will someone give Emily a brush so that she can finally fix her hair? Well it’s all up to Susanne now!
Sorry I took so long with these chapters
