Rebecca Gloomed

Fights and fortune

"If anyone would be holding a grudge, it would be me." Misery pointed out, blowing her nose.

"It's not my fault she's upset," Rebecca said once again. "She tried to mess with my Frankie."

"It's not like that, Rebecca." Frank sighed. Len nodded his agreement.

Iris nervously bounced from toe to toe, literally.

"If I didn't know any better," Misery began, scratching her already red face. "I'd say you were really jealous of Alyssa." She continued insensitively, "I mean, she's got better hair than you, better--"

"Uhh, Misery?" Skullboy interrupted her.

"What?"

"You probably shouldn't..." He trailed off.

Misery looked over to Rebecca to find two coffee brown orbs glaring at her. "What?" She said. "Did I say something wrong...?"

"'Becca?" Ruby called from the top of the stairs. "Could you come up here for a second?"

Rebecca crossed her arms and looked away.

"Please?" Ruby begged. "Just for a ONE second?" She put up a finger.

Rebecca sighed and gave in. Alyssa sat on the guest bed in her room and played with a Frank and Len bobble head. That's when she heard the two familiar voices coming down the hall. She looked up to find a smiling Ruby and a frustrated and pouty faced Rebecca.

"Oh....It's just YOU." Alyssa scoffed, crossing her arms and looking away.

"And it's just YOU." Rebecca shot back, crossing her arms and doing the same.

Ruby looked between both of them. "Ok, what's going on?" She asked, bracing herself for what came next. "She PUSHED me!" Alyssa exclaimed, pointing a finger at Rebecca.

"She tried to steal my boyfriend!" Rebecca yelled to the top of her lungs.

Ruby covered her ears and flinched. "Ok, ok, ok." She said, cutting to the chase. "Do you think you guys can make up...?"

"NO!" They screamed in unison, literally knocking Ruby out of her shoes. This was going to be harder than she thought....

All day the two girls were bickering at each other. They all decided to play hide and seek, and Rebecca and Alyssa fought over a single hiding spot. When Ruby tried to get the other to find somewhere else to hide before they were seen, it was always a big fat NO. And then all three would get caught by Misery.

Then they decided to play a game of charades. Doom Kitty was it, and she mimed and mimed, and the two girls yelled to the top of their lungs what they thought she was trying to say. Nobody else could get a turn.

Then finally they guessed it...it was a game of charades that Doom was trying to mime. Ironic huh? But they'd both said it at the same time, and then they started fighting over who said it first.

When Frank and Len rehearsed, they both fought over a seat on the couch, which had enough room for the both of them in the first place. This distracted Frank and Len and they messed up several times, and both Rebecca and Alyssa ended up on the floor.

After some more bickering and fighting and arguing, nobody could take it anymore! "I know, I know guys." Ruby said, calming everyone down. They'd all had just enough of the whole Alyssa and Rebecca problem. So all of them had complained to Ruby, sitting or standing in a circle in the living room.

Iris was twirling her hair nervously and biting her lip.

"What's wrong, Iris?" Ruby asked.

"Oh, well, let's just say I know something that I think I shouldn't know but I know what someone else doesn't know and doesn't know what I know which makes me know I gotta keep a secret which, I know, I'm not good at." Iris said very very quickly, which confused everyone deeply.
