After Prom

Midnight

12:00 AM

Then they heard something from the open door to the gym; they all turned round and saw the police and Rita coming out with Chris and Tina restrained.

Police Officer: Don't worry you lot, I've already called the dispatch centre and they've sent out a cruiser. It should be arriving here any minute now.

Tommy: Glad to hear it, sir. Hopefully a little time behind bars will teach those two a lesson.

Tommy and everyone laughed while Chris and Tina gritted their teeth in anger.

Then, as they finished explaining, Principal Morton stepped out with the bucket in his hand, keeping it as far from his good suit as possible so as not to spill any of its contents on his suit. He had a disgusted, rather sick look on his face.

Police Officer: What on Earth is in that bucket, Morton?

Morton: It's pretty disgusting actually...

His face wincing in utter disgust as he exhaled heavily, and trying not to be sick at the same time, while he placed the full bucket onto an old table sitting by the outside of the doors leading into the gym hall before he quickly took a few steps away from the smell,

Morton: It's pig blood.

And everyone close by who heard the answer groaned in disgust.

Heather: It's obviously been sitting up there for quite a while- Oh God, it absolutely stinks! You can smell it from here!

Heather gagged a little bit and her face went a tad green while holding her nose.

Sue, after picking up a bit of the scent, turned her head away and, gagging a bit, dry heaved as Tommy held onto her and gently patted her on her back.

The reason the smell hadn't been detected inside had been due to the extractor fans on the roof of the gym, which had helped to extract the warm air while pumping in fresh cooler air to keep those at the prom cool, and the extractor fans, as well as taking away the warm stale air, had also carried away the smell of the blood too.

Police Officer: What in the world were you two idiots thinking of by trying something like that? Huh?!

He and Rita frowned big time, but Tina and Chris, both furious and sour about their prank having completely failed, said nothing.

Eric: Don't worry officer, my family stopped them.

Police Officer: You guys seem very familiar. You're the Horsemen aren't you?

Daniel: Yes, it's us.

Jack: It's our pleasure.

Police Officer: Oh thanks, don't worry about me, I am one of the magic believers. You're fine with me.

Herb: As you promise.

Then the sound of a police cruiser pulling up to the kerb drew their attention. The cruiser stopped and two police officers stepped out. But then, suddenly, Chris Hargensen wrenched herself free from Rita's grip and yelled towards the group, pointing for Richmond and screaming like a banshee.

Chris: YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS RICHMOND!!!!!

Just as Chris was about to charge at Richmond, she heard a "clank" and then suddenly she was dunked all over in a wet, slimy, and very smelly, substance.

Catching her breath and clearing her eyes, Chris then gradually realised what it was; it was the blood that had been in the bucket she'd planned to dump on Richmond and Carrie, and now it was completely covering her instead.

She screamed out in horror and anger as the others in the group, including quite a few of the other students who were nearby watching had just happened, were all laughing at her. Carrie was laughing the hardest, quite enjoying the sight of her main archenemy being humiliated instead of her. She had seen the golden opportunity for some much deserved revenge of her own against her main bully, and had used her telekinetic powers to dump the bucket of blood right on top of Chris.

Seething with fury at being made the fool with her own weapon instead of Carrie, the two police officers quickly stepped up and pointed their guns at her. Seeing those gun barrels pointed at her, and the serious expressions on the faces of the officers, Chris knew she was finished, and she gave up.

Catching his breath, after the laughing at Chris after she got humiliated with her own weapon, Richmond turned to face Carrie and she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Carrie: I thought something would happen to you...I'm so happy to see you're okay.

Carrie said, a sense of relief and thankfulness clear in her voice.

Richmond: It's all right, Carrie.

Spikey: Group hug!

Daniel, Jack, Merritt, Dylan, Herb, Heller Josh and Eric followed Spikey for a group hug.

Dylan: So you do have telekinesis.

Carrie: Yes Dylan.

Dylan: We would like to have you as a new Horseman.

Carrie: I would be honored to be a Horseman.

Heller Josh: Carrie, if you don't know who I am, I'm Heller Josh Barker, Richmond's friend.

Carrie: Nice to meet you Heller Josh.

The two shake hands.

A few minutes later

It wasn't long before a police van arrived and a handcuffed Chris, still covered in the blood, was led to the back of it by one of the officers.

Other students still around were taking pictures of her on their phones, laughing and still making jokes about her new look and sarcastically saying that it suited her.

She was soon loaded into the back of the police van and, after giving everyone who was laughing and mocking her a final angry scowl, the inner and outer doors were closed and she was taken down to the police station, with Tina following in the cruiser just behind.

Not only that, but the officers also had the USB key with the humiliating video of Carrie's period that Tina had planned to play if the prank had succeeded, and no doubt the officers wanted to know what was on the USB key so they could potentially bring further charges against Chris and Tina.

Richmond: Well it's time to go home for some sleep.

Merritt: Well okay, good night to you guys.

Everyone said their goodnight to each other as they all go home.
