The Mikaelson Twins Return

Swarmed

So turns out the whole school was affected by slugs, well the whole school except for me, Lizzie, and Landon. Lizzie was because she was wearing a bracelet that shocked her every time she was mean, which is always. Me and Landon... I have no idea. Currently, Me, Hope, Lizzie, Josie, Dorian, Emma, Ric, and Kaleb were driving to Maple Hallows chasing the stupid urn. Ric was driving, Kaleb was in the passenger seat, and the middle row had Josie behind Kaleb, Hope in the middle, and Lizzie behind Ric. In the back I was behind Lizzie, Dorian was in the middle and Emma was behind Josie. Kaleb said "Dr. Saltzman, this van is very... white of you." he said, "It's retro." Lizzie piped in "It's a gas-guzzling atrocity on wheels." Hope said, "I brought snacks." Lizzie said "Oh, sweet. Did you pack them before or after you and your sister decided to FOMO your way onto our trip?" Hope said, "Like we're gonna let you guys chase monsters without us?" Lizzie said, "I would've thought you wanted to spend the break canoodling with your hipster boyfriend." Hope said "Sorry for wanting to protect the outside world from my mistakes. You know, there's currently an urn on a river cruise spreading plagues across America because I thought a unicorn was cute. It's called accountability. Maybe there's a bracelet for it." 

Lizzie said "Or maybe you just wanted to ruin yet another Saltzman spring break." Hope handed me some grapes and my book as she said "When have I ever ruined a spring break?" Ric said "Girls? We're gonna be in this classic automobile for six hours, all right? So, no bickering." Hope said "It would help if it wasn't a thousand degrees in here. I'm burning up." Lizzie said "You're burning up. Now, that's ironic." Hope said, "What does that even mean?" Lizzie said "Don't play dumb. I see you. I see right through you." Hope said, "I don't know what you're talking about." I said, "What happened to playing nice?" Lizzie said "Over. Done. I'm getting back to me. I am who I am. Right, Josie? Josie?" Josie pulled out her headphones "Sorry?" Lizzie said, "Josie, you cannot leave me alone with just her for company." Josie said, "Well, I get carsick if I don't listen to music." Lizzie yelled "Josie!" arguing ensued causing Ric to say "Girls! Girls, there is no reason to be tense or awkward, okay? Now knock it off. We're gonna get through this together. God help us all." Kaleb said "Woot. Road trip." after a while I said, "I'm tired." Hope said, "I'm boiling." Lizzie said, "I'm freezing." Josie said, "I'm starving." Dorian said, "Okay, sandwiches." I took one he was handing me, Ric said "I'll do a sandwich." Josie said, "Dad, did you only pack meat?" Ric said, "Thank you." Kaleb said, "J... Just baloney?" Ric said, "I told you, it's meat."

Ric started a rendition of bottles of beer, Josie got sick and Hope and Lizzie couldn't possibly get along. I finally said "We there yet?" he said "Yes!" we dropped Dorian off at the bridge so he could dive for the urn, and the rest of us went into town. Kaleb said, "Welcome to Maple Hollows." Ric said "Girls, you take the fountain area. See what you can find out." the four of us split up and asked around before we met back at the fountain. Josie said "Fun fact: this town has the biggest ball of yarn in the country. And nobody's seen anything strange." Lizzie said "This isn't exactly a hotspot of activity. Our hopes of finding anything are going up in smoke." Hope said, "Wait, are you passive-aggressively referring to that fire in Em and I's dorm room three years ago?" Lizzie said "You mean the one that you set on purpose to sabotage our spring break trip with our dad? No, Hope. Why would I talk about that?" I said, "Dude, you've lost it." Lizzie said "The only thing that we lost was a week of quality family time. Dad had to cancel the trip to deal with the damage. So mission accomplished." Josie said "You guys are just talking about ancient history. Ow! Something stung me." she pulled up her sleeve and had a huge boil Hope said "Ew." Lizzie said "Gross." I said, "What the hell was it?" Lizzie said "Probably that." we all looked up and a hoard of flying bugs were flying toward us. Hope said "This is plague-y, right? It seems plague-y." Josie said "It's plague-y." we hid in the first building we could find until the screaming stopped. As we exited Hope said "We need to find your dad. This way." Lizzie said, "Does this way take us past the fire station?" I groaned in annoyance, "Oh, my God." Hope grabbed my hand with her 'leave it alone' look and said "We barely just survived a biblical plague. For the last time, I didn't start that fire, and I've never ruined a spring break." Josie said, "Yeah, Lizzie, now's not the time." Lizzie ignored her sister "Fifth grade. You callously gave me the flu while we were building our float for witch week. With global warming, I may never see the Florida Keys. That's on you."
