The Chicken Zombies

Chapter 11-- It's a Chicken-Zombies Christmas Miracle

The girl punched herself through the sunroof, growling at Dante and Shakira with a menacing look in her eyes. It was Abi, one of Dante and Shakira's only friends. (That's a lie; she was Dante and Shakira's only friend.)

"Dante, you fight her off. I'll try to lose the rest of them!" Shakira yelled.

Dante's eyes widened as she unbuckled. Abi glared back before grabbing Dante and throwing her to the back of the SUV with all the hula hoops.

"Ugh, why is she so freakishly strong?" Dante groaned as she tried to get up.

"GRRRRRR..." Abi growled again.

Shakira turned sharply, shoving Dante on top of Abi. But this only angered the brainwashed minion, who grabbed Dante around the throat and chucked her back to the front of the car. Dante hit her head hard on the front seat.

"Owwwwww...."

"C'mon Dante be a woman! Or man. Or whatever it is that you are," said Shakira, glancing at Dante for a split second before turning back to the road. Man, it is hard work going 120 mph on the highway, she thought.

Dante, dazed and confused, had a vision. And that vision was of Morgan Freeman dressed as a pink reindeer.

"Dante," Morgan Freeman said in his deep Morgan Freeman voice. "Use the water."

"Huh," Dante murmured, eyelids fluttering.

"The water, H2O, the liquid version of ice...? C'mon, kid, how stupid are you?"

Dante rubbed the back of her neck. "Whaa... Morgan Freeman, what are you doing here?"

"Shut up, and use the goshdarn water!"

"Huh??"

Just then, Pink-Reindeer-Morgan-Freeman slapped Dante across the face.

Dante snapped out of her vision.

In a haze, Dante stumbled around the car, Abi cracking her knuckles, ready to fight once more.

And then, suddenly, a Christmas miracle, Dante realized what Morgan Freeman had been talking about in his Morgan Freeman voice. She saw a bottle of Dasani water in the cupholder, than quickly snatched it and-

Was again thrown by Abi.

"Ughhh," whined Dante, who was now covered in hula hoops. Luckily she still had the Dasani. She yanked off the cap and splashed the water onto Abi.

Abi looked down at herself, now covered in water. She twitched suddenly before blinking a lot and saying. "Where... where are we? Dante... Shakira?"

Dante hugged Abi. "Oh, thank you, Morgan Freeman!"

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Oh, hey Abs. Glad to see you back to normal." Shakira gave Abi a smile through the rearview mirror.

"What-what happened to me?"

And so Shakira and Dante told Abi about everything that had gone down that day, constantly interrupting each other and saying 'I wanted to tell that part!'

When they were done, Abi shook her head in disbelief. "Wow. And Dante, we fought?"

"Yeah, but honestly, it wasn't much of a fight," chuckled Shakira from the driver's seat.

"Yeah. I totally kicked your butt," lied Dante.

Abi raised an eyebrow. "Really? I feel like I could totally take you in a fight."

Dante laughed dishonestly. "Ahahahahaha. No. It was like the Rock fighting... I don't know, a baby or something. I was the Rock."

"Huh. Weird," Abi said skeptically, looking at the giant goose egg on Dante's head and bruises on her arms. "Anyways. It sounds like we need to save Shakira's boyfriend."

Shakira took a breath. "Actually, he's gay."

"Really?"

"Yep. He said we could still be friends."

"Oh, cool."

"You called Dolph the love of your life earlier," Dante pointed out.

Shakira rolled her eyes. "Well, it's not just Dolph we need to save. It's the whole grade. And possibly more people, depending on who they poked in the eye."

"Yeah, what's with that?" Abi asked. "The whole, 'poke you in the eye' thing sounds super lame."

"I agree." Dante nodded. "But it's whatever. Let's go save the world!"
