The Everthorne Tree

9: We Got It!

"Got any Sharpies?" Nicole asks.

"Why would you need a sharpie?" Sam asks.

Nicole points at Carson who is sleeping on the couch.

"Heh, goodluck with that." Bit says almost laughing.

Sam tosses Nicole a sharpie.

"Yes!" Nicole says and starts drawing on Carsons face.

"Hey, guys? Where's Cynthia?" Melody asks.

"I think she went upstairs to grab something." Ashton says playing on his DS.

"Is anyone hungry?" Mom says walking in with a plate full of bowls shaped like cups with soup inside.

"Oh yes, thank you ms!" Nicole says jumping up causing Carson to wake up.

"Heheh guys, don't get too messy." Mom says walking back into the kitchen.

"What?" Carson says sitting up with a bunch of pictures of like baby kittens and puppies with butterflies.

Everyone laughs.

"What?" Carson looks around.

Nicole shows Carson a morror.

"Guuuh, NICOLE!" Carson gets up and chases Nicole around the room.

"Hey hey, what's going on here?" I say walking down the stairs.

"Nothing." Ashton says.

"We need to do something!" Nicole says still running.

"But make it legal this time." Bit says looking at his phone

"No we're gonna be the runners from the dimensional closet."

"What?" Bit says turning.

"It's a book!" Sam and Melody both say at the same time.

"Ok  here's the plan. We need to figure out why Roger is so...." I say not finding the right word.

"Wierd?" Sam suggests.

"Sycho?" Nicole says sticking her tongue out at Bit.

"Dependent?" Melody says.

"No, controlling." I say.

(Ten minutes later of planning)

"K, great plans guys." Sam says

"Remember the plan, see you tomorrow." I say waving everyone goodbye already excited for tomorrow.

Everyone except for Ashton, and Sam.

(Next day)

"Ok ready Sam? Ashton?" I say fixing my hair in the morror by the door.

"Yeah let's go!" Ashton says ready to leave.

"You sure this plan is gonna work." Sam asks putting on shoes.

"It has to." I say determined.

"Alright let's do this!" Sam says pumped up.

We walk out the door on our way to the tree convention. I notice everyone's in their places, Nicole is with Bit, Sam and Ashton split off to the other side of the room, and Melody and Carson, now they're all just waiting for my signal.

"I have all of you are gathered here today for our special ceremony." Roger says proudly

"Ok ready, I hope your all ready?" I say to myself.

I raise my hand holding out 1 finger.

"Oh Bit! That's our signal." Nicole whispers to Bit jumping giving me a thumbs up.

I give a thumbs up back. Nicole pulls out a microphone that's hooked up to the speakers in the room.

"Can I get a hey I love TREES!" Nicole sends out a chant and the room goes quiet.

"What?" Roger says confused.

"I said can I get I love TREES!" Nicole repeats.

"I LOVE TREES!" Ashton says as I give him the signal.

"YEAH WE ALL LOVE TREES!" Sam shouts.

"Hey, calm down now." Roger says.

"WE ALL LOVE TREES!!!" Nicole shouts.

"We all love trees!" Sam and Ashton start to rant.

I put up my signal with 2 fingers. Melody looks back and nods at me. She plugs in a cord into her phone and plays a beat that we had made last night.

"Alright, y'all, Nikki and Bitty-" Nikki says

"It's Bit." Bit says on his microphone.

"All live, In Da house!" Nicole finishes.

"Yo this is Nikki and this is Bit we are looking some main attraction, if you want to do the action you have to..." Nicole sings like she's rapping.

"Dance with us." Bit says all lamely.

"Come on dance with us." Nicole shouts.

"Yeah dance with us." Bit says even more lamely.

"If you want to?" Nicole asks a question sorta.

"Dance with us." Bit says.

"Then you have to." Nicole asks.

"Dance with us!" Bit says trying to rock out but it doesn't look so good.

"Yeah!" Nicole shouts.

Then the whole song repeats and the whole room starts to sing along.

"Ok let's do this." I say sneaking off into the back room with the trees.

I frantically search the drawers with tiny trees before my time is up and Nicole and Bit get caught. Finally I come to the last drawer which is locked. 

"Great." I sigh.

I search the room till I find a key above the door frame. I grab it and unlock the drawer and take the glowing tree, I stuff it into my bag and lock the drawer again and I run.

"Dance with us yeah!" Nicole shouts.

I lift my hand and raise 4 fingers. Everyone nods and we all sneak out and Nicole and Bit walk out still singing until they fully step out the doors. They both turn the microphones off.

"Whoohoo!" Nicole jumps.

"Did you get the tree?" Sam asks.

"Yes I did. Let's go home before I show you guys." I say running home before Roger comes out to yell at us.

Everyone else just follows.
