The Night

Chapter 71: Gone

Hey guys!!! I'm so glad I'm gonna be able to go back to a somewhat normal schedule with writing this book. Since u guys r so patient I decided to write I super dramatic chapter and suspenseful one. Just saying it was so much fun writing it and probably one of the funnest chapters I've written. So let's get started! Enjoy😜

Rex's POV
"This Friday..." Rubble's phone played as Rubble, and I watched in amazement. "Get ready..."

"Whatchu watching there?" Zuma asked as he and Everest startled us both. We both gave a little jump and turned to face them as they laughed in satisfaction.

"Jesus," I said as I placed my hand placed on my chest.

"What was that?" Rubble asked, stuffing his phone in his pocket.

"Just wanted to scare you two," Everest laughed as they gave each other a high five. "So, what were you watching?"

"The trailer for Apollo the Superpup The Movie!" Rubble exclaimed.

"Oh, Lord," Zuma said as he knew Rubble was going to break into a full-on rant.

"It's on Friday, and it's going to be epic!" Rubble said as he threw air punches. "There is a new villain- oh- and I ordered some Apollo the Superpup merch. My delivery is supposed to arrive Thursday, just in time for the movie!"

"Ew, are you losers talking about Apollo the Superpup?" Hunter said in utter disgust with Jackson and Marshall behind him.

"Are you eavesdropping on other people's conversations?" Everest asked, matching Hunter's attitude.

"I heard it's a good show," Hunter began, ignoring Everest's comment. "For two-year-olds," he broke into laughter. Jackson joined in on the laughter as Marshall bit his lip, trying not to start laughing himself.

"Jerk," Everest muttered under her breath as she rolled her eyes, looking away from Marshall.

"It doesn't have to be for two-year-olds," Rubble smiled. "You can watch it."

"Yeah, no thanks," Hunter said as his laughter calmed down. "I have way better things to do."

"Yeah, sure," Zuma agreed sarcastically.

Third POV
"Is it that bad?" Rocky asked.

"I mean, yeah, pretty bad," Skye said as she tilted her head from side to side.

"Why can't you tell me?" Rocky questioned as he continued to follow Skye from behind.

"Everest is gonna get mad," Skye explained as she slowed her pace down a little.

"She doesn't have to know."

"Why do you want to know so bad anyway?"

"Curiosity," Rocky responded.

"Mmm," Skye said, beginning to consider her options. "No." Skye walked off, and Rocky didn't bother continuing to ask.

"Fine," Rocky gave in. "Are you going to the big game today?"

"Yeah, I kinda have to," Skye replied.

"Why?" Rocky asked with a confused expression. "Oh wait, cheerleading. Right."

"Yeah."

"Hey, Skye, hey, Rocky," Chase said as he walked by the two.

"Hey, Chase," Skye smiled back.

"Hey, Chase," Rocky said, trying to keep himself from mocking Skye and breaking into laughter. Chase gave a final smile before walking away as Rocky turned to Skye with a smirk.
