Stark 'Dopted

Chapter 10 - B-u-s-t-e-d spells Busted

I looked at the copy of myself, still not fully sure how I was doing so, And She mimicked my every move. I side stepped, and so did she, I sat down, She copied. It was a continual loop. "Stop." I whispered at her, not too loud so I don't wake up Pepper. She repeated after me.

A groan of frustration left my lips, Thank God it didn't echo again. I thought of just changing her into a pair of my clothes, locking the door, and sneaking out. It seemed silly at first, but after some hard thinking it seemed like a good idea. "Oh my God, I'm a genius!" I cheered, but then lowered my tone halfway through. I turned back around to my clone, and there she way. She was in my bed, Pajamas on, looking at the ceiling.

"Perfect." I muttered with a smirk, soon I began putting my stuff together. I threw an old back over my shoulder, filling it with the normal necessity's:

1. Tampons

2. Aspirin

3. A change of clothes

4. Water

5. My keys

6. Keys to the Malibu house, in case things get really crazy.

I picked up my wand and picked up my phone to call Jenna. Things were working out according to plan.

-A bit later-

Things were not going to plan. Turns out Mr. and Mrs. Creevak were out of town, meaning the Creevak brothers had gone a bit more crazy than usual. I ended up getting separated from Jenna somewhere down the road, only to find each other when she was vomiting in the Creevak's bathroom...in the bathtub.

"God, Jenna. I thought I was supposed to be the drinker at our first party." I had muttered, while I held back her hair.

"Shut..." She gagged "...up!" A few seconds later  she was throwing up again. 
"At least throw up in the toilet." She obliged and moved to the toilet in between sessions.

By the time she was done throwing up someone had called the cops. I knew we were screwed. "Jen, Come on." I shrieked at her, taking her arm and throwing my bag over mine. We bolted out the back door, Jenna groaned as we went, and ran through the woods. Originally, It was a haunted walk but since the brothers were in control it was nothing but a plot of trees. 

Eventually I managed to guide me and my drunken best friend out of the woods and to the tower. I punched in the code and then covered Jen's mouth, in hopes to stifle her laughter that was now taking place of the vomiting. I knew the throwing up came from a hang over, so who knows why she was throwing up while drunk. There's no doubt in my mind she won't do it again. Once the elevator reached my floor I quickly pulled my friend out into the hall and soon into my room.

I hadn't even remembered the clone incident until I got home, So I wished all my problems away. She- It vanished. "Thank God." I muttered, sitting Jenna on my bed. She fell right backwards onto the mattress, letting out a giggle and soon falling asleep. I changed my clothes and hid the costume in the back of my closet. I changed into what my clone was wearing, in case Pepper came in and saw during the night, and made a bed on the floor.

The feel of the pillow under me was the most welcomed thing at the moment, that was until I heard police sirens 30 minuets later, waking me up rudely. I climbed out my makeshift bed to go pee before I realized the Sirens were coming from in front of the Tower. My eyes widened and I rushed out of my room, Jenna still fast asleep.

I ran out into the hall to see Pepper standing by the elevator talking to an officer, not looking very happy. What a bad night to wear a face mask. "What happened?" I asked as I approached them. The officer turned to me and began explaining that someone had tripped the silent alarm. Oh shit. "Do you know anybody who would be coming in tonight?" He questioned and Pepper looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I cleared my throat and nodded. "My friend, Jenna. She needed help on an assignment. She has the code so she just came on up." The officer nodded just as unconvinced as Pepper. "Well, I better be off. They just called in a party shut down." 

"I'll ride down with you." Pepper said and got in the Elevator with him. 

When the door closed I sprinted back to my room and dumped our book bags on the floor, scattering around supplies and papers. Next I jumped on Jenna, forcing her awake. "Wake up, lightweight. Change and brush your teeth." She groaned and pushed me away. "Pepper is awake." Her eyes shot open and made her way to the bathroom, wobbly though. Soon enough she was done, clothes changed. I tossed her a mint just in case then put on a movie. There was no way she could think that we'd been at that party.

I couldn't have been more wrong. 

"You went to that party didn't you?!" She yelled at me the next day. "You went to that party when I specifically told you that you couldn't go!"

"So what?! I went and left before it got bad!" That was a lie.

"But you went! What if you'd gotten hurt?! Then what?!" 

I can't even trip right. "I wouldn't have gotten hurt!" She scoffed at me and shook her head. "I raised you better than this. But instead you act like your Dad."

"I didn't ask you to raise me!" I exclaimed and her eyes widen.

"Wanna be like that? Pack your things."

"Why?" She was actually sending me away? I was just going to stay with Jenna for the weekend.

"You're going to stay with your Dad. Within a week you'll be glad I raised you and not your Dad." Yeah right. "Is that a bet, Ms. Potts?" "If you want it to be." Hm I could win this pretty easy. "$100 if I last more than a week. And if you win..."

"I take you shopping." Pepper said with a smirk. Shopping wasn't my favorite thing, but I would go if I won or lost. "Deal." We shook hands, and I went on to pack my bags.

Malibu here I come

(A/N: Wow! This took me almost half a year to write! Crazy! Just as Crazy as this chapter. I wonder who will win the bet! You may not have to wait long to find out!
