S2 Ep. 9 Murder Mystery

POV: Ariel

"Hello, my wonderful music class! I've got a special announcement today!" our music teacher excitedly giggled as she quickly waved us in with one of her candle arms.

"Umm. Miss Chandy," I peeped out.

"I've been your music teacher for almost the entire year now. You can call Claudia, not my teacher name!" our Chandelure music teacher interrupted.

"Ok Miss Chandy, I mean Claudia. I was just wondering if this announcement happened to be."

"As amazing as last week's? OF COURSE, IT IS!" Miss Chandy cheered, interrupting me again in the process.

"Last week's announcement was about the new soap the school got and how it smells like citrus instead of lavender!" I burst out. I covered my mouth (er, beak) immediately afterwards, realizing the many other classmates of mine were staring at me.

"Ooo. I can still remember first realizing that. I understand your concerns sweetie."

"Can you not call me sweetie please?"

"I understand your concerns POKEMON WHOSE DAILY MOTIONS INTERSECT WITH MINE, but I promise this one will interest you much more. As a MANDATORY class assignment, you are all to join me at a mansion (that I am renting out because I'm not that rich) for dinner. That is all," Miss Chandy concluded.

"But why?" I had to inquire.

"Because it's going to be..........................................................(page filler......).......................... A MURDER MYSTERY!"

Crap! This time it's actually somewhat intriguing.

"Ugh. Why did I join music class?!?!?!" Kaleb whined as we walked towards the rented-out mansion to house Miss Chandy's dramatically interesting event.

"Because you have a good singing voice and hate art even more," I quickly replied.

"But why should I spend my 5 in the afternoon and beyond on a stupid murder mystery game?!"

"Because Miss Chandy threatened suspension."

"But why did..."

"Just shut up," I silenced. We continued as the sun set and turned the sky to an orange and purple hue. A nice addition to the ambiance of the under lit mansion up ahead.

The door creaked open (with the help of Miss Chandy making the effect) as we slowly and awkwardly walked into the darkened dining room lined with white accent. The wallpaper was a light blue that looked like it was from the 1800s and sorta killed a little bit of the mood. Apparently, we were the last to arrive (because of Kaleb's laziness) as everyone else was waiting when we took our seats at the huge dining table that stretched down from one end to another. I saw the Kanto starters, Kalos starters, Hoenn starters (minus four-year-old Mark), Chub-Tyke, a Bunnery, a Swirlix, a Budew, and finally a Litwick.

Miss Chandy floated in through the doorway giving off a purple light (AKA the only light) that shone through the room. She took a place above the dining room table... as the chandelier of all things. (Seems a little predictable but whatever.)

"Welcome class. Now you all know me, but I feel the need to properly introduce myself. As you all know, I'm your dorky and amaaaaazing music teacher, Claudia Chandy. I've invited you all here today because murder mysteries are cool, and none of the other teachers would agree to do it with me. So, I chose you guys instead," Miss Chandy announced from above the table.

"Wait. So, we're plan B?" Jay, the narcistic, self-enthusiastic Squirtle who's a jerk said.

"Nonsense! I would always invite you Jay. (You're amazing.) Oh! That reminds me! We have a guest of honor! Everyone please turn your heads to my niece who hates being looked at, Lucy the Litwick!" Miss Chandy said as she gestured towards the corner dimly lit by Lucy's small candle flame.
