Chapter 5- Unexpected Company

It was really hard to get a word in with the constant ranting that was going on, but finally a breath had to be taken. "Okay, okay we're sorry!" cried Susanne. "...you didn't really mean it!" sighed Pete. "Well, we really didn't say anything to be offended about..." mumbled Heather in trying to not offend Alison in her attempt to create a suspenseful ending to her chapter. "...It's just well, we thought at least Alison would turn to us for guidance when you took your break... maybe it was selfish to have expected a call, but...you know....it would have been a.... nice.... gesture...." said Roger. "But- you know....name....my...." Alison was star-struck. "Well, after saving Campbellford- headliner news, you know!" said Roger. "You don't suppose you'd want to open a show for us tonight?" asked Pete. "...maybe another time, I dunno- our schedule's pretty hectic..." Heather was trying to use her playing hard-to-get skills in an ineffective manner. "Right," said Pete "Off we go then Roger...See you!" With that they jumped onto their helicopter rose and sped off into the sunset. Heather panicked searching for an escape, "We weren't ready... we can do better.... I... they...look! It's the Spades!" was the only thing that she could think of to say. And sure enough, in strolled three familiar figures of The Spades. "SUSANNE!!!" they cried in unison. "Still feeding oranges?" James chuckled to himself as they all surrounded her full of questions. As Susanne wooed them with her charm, the girls put their heads together and came up with an endless number of ideas for songs. It was almost as if someone had before been jinxing their creative abilities- just almost, though. All of the sudden, an almost unaudible beeping sound distracted the girl's attention. "Where is it coming from?" Alison tried following the sound. When she came closer and closer to the guys, Susanne was blushing feverishly. She really couldn't ignore it, so Susanne pulled out her cellphone- the unmistakable chorus of The OC theme song echoing throughout the cave. "I just like the song..." she said as she quickly opened the phone, "Hello?... Huh?.... Wow... How did that?...Gosh...." she closed the phone, with a stunned expression on her face. "Guys- Ready the jet, we have a serious problem... I'll explain when we take flight!" She called as she ran toward the jet-way, the girls close to her heels. James, Winchester and Chachi all strugged and reluctantly followed.
