The Case of the wrecked rehearsal (Friday Barnes)

The chandelier

They made their way to the back of the stage only to find Susan and Mirabella in a heated argument.

"You did" Mira shouted.

"No, I didn't" Susan said, "Your paranoid." Ian and Friday came up to them and they stopped talking.

"What's up" Ian asked climbing up the stairs to the balcony above the stage.

"Nothing" The girls said in unison both looking extremely suspicious. Before Ian could ask any more questions the two rushed on to the stage.

"Girls are so weird" Ian said shaking his head. Friday coughed implying that she in fact was a girl. "You especially."

Friday climbed up stairs after him. It felt hard and metal one wrong move and Friday's foot could slip through the gaps in-between each step, it had unlocked a new fear in her. She was now shaking as she stepped onto the balcony before her. The ladder, more like monkey bars. The only difference Friday could see between this and the monkey bars at her old primary school was that this didn't have a fresh layer of tanbark beneath her. It started from there balcony and led all the way across to the other end of the stage. On each end were three chandeliers than on big one in the middle.

Friday instantly opened her mouth "I hope you know that there is absolutely no way I'm climb across..."

Snap!

Ian tugged Friday by the arms and pulled her close to him covering their heads with his arm.

Crash! The chandelier closest to them had just fallen to the ground shaking the ladder's metal structure.

A piercing scream filled the assembly room, everyone turned to Trea.

Friday was about to let go of Ian's arm of fear it would cut of his circulation but then the second chandelier started to break.

Snap!

Crack!

Bang!

Scream!

"Trea stop screaming" Someone called "I'm trying to sleep" It was Melanie.

"At least we have the one in the middle" Mrs. Canon said trying to be positive. Mrs. Canon shouldn't of said that.

Snap!

Crack!

Bang!

Scream!

The third and finale chandelier crashed to the ground.

Just then Mrs. Canon conveniently got a phone call and had to leave the room.

Back to current time.

"All three" Astrid asked shaking her head in disbelief.

"Yep, Ivan was very disappointed" Friday said enjoying her kid's reaction to suspense. "I was sure that if something else went wrong Trea would lose it"

"Luckily nothing else went wrong" Ian said. Friday gave him the side eye.

"Oh yeah" Ian said laughing "Something went wrong."
