"Put the gun down Daniel." Phoenix warned as soon as he had pointed the gun at Quinn.
"You're not going to shoot anybody." Eric laughed nervously. He knew that Daniel would shoot Quinn if he had to, and that was what worried him.
"All the time that I was at Wonderlust Theater, Quinn bullied me. She wasn't my friend, she drove me and Phoenix apart, and she exposed me to the world!" Daniel stood up while still aiming the gun at Quinn's forehead.
"I never bullied you. You never talked to me, so I never talked to you. You were annoying! Some people don't get along!" Quinn exclaimed.
Mimi and Kris stared at each other stunned. Kris got Phoenix's attention. While Daniel was distracted by talking to Quinn and Eric, Kris and Phoenix used sign language to communicate.
We have to knock the gun out of his hand-
Phoenix
How are we supposed to do that without getting anyone hurt-Kris
That's where I have no idea what to do- Phoenix
I have a plan- Kris
We don't exactly have much time- Phoenix
You need to distract him. You were the one person who could calm him down even now- Kris
Distract him? How- Phoenix
Just try your best. Mimi and I will do the rest- Kris
Okay- Phoenix
"Daniel wait!" Phoenix called.
"Phoenix, I don't have time for this." Daniel warned her.
"Yeah it looks like you're in the middle of something." Phoenix rolled her eyes.
"What do you want?" Daniel asked.
"To know why you hate us all so much. Yeah I get that you're out for revenge on Quinn's father, but why hurt Quinn? Why hurt me?" Phoenix asked.
Kris hurtled out of nowhere and tackled Daniel. Daniel shot into the air out of surprise but Mimi managed to get the gun.
Eric dragged Quinn out of the way, and Phoenix pinned down Daniel's gun hand. They all got up and Daniel was unarmed.
"Why do you always turn on me Phoenix?" Daniel questioned.
"Turn on you? You were the one who was about to shoot my best friend in the head!" Phoenix yelled.
"Wait a second. She's your best friend?" Mimi roared.
"We don't have time to talk about this. We need to call the police, and get him out of here. This tunnel is about to collapse thanks to Daniel shooting the top of it." Quinn gestured to the ceiling.
Sure enough some dust started to fall from the top of the ceiling.
"If we don't move now, we're all going to die down here." Quinn warned them.
"Then let's go!" Eric grabbed Quinn's arm. Phoenix and Kris held Daniel's two wrists to make sure that he didn't get away. Mimi led the way out of the tunnel.
As soon as they got out of the tunnel, Mimi heard a noise. Thump. Thump. BAM!
She whipped her head around. Phoenix and Kris were knocked out on the ground right outside the door that they had just came out of.
Daniel started to turn and run but Mimi yelled, "Stop!"
She took the gun that she had gotten from Daniel and pointed it at him.
"If you take one step, I'll shoot you." Mimi warned.
"You wouldn't." Daniel laughed.
He took another step.
Mimi shot him three times in the back.
"For Sasha." Mimi dropped the gun.
"Mimi that was chilling." Quinn sighed. "We need to get out of here. Let's get Kris and Phoenix, and let's go."
Eric, Quinn, and Mimi hauled Phoenix and Kris to stand up straight. They decided to go to Eric's house since he had the most space.
Phoenix was laid down in the guest room. She was still knocked out cold. Kris was in the living room on a couch that resembled the one at the theater. She was sitting up straight, and had just woken up a couple minutes ago.
"What do you remember?" Mimi asked.
"Nothing much. Just a fist in my face." Kris rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, well, Daniel is dead. We made sure this time. Alice and Billy are at the police station, and everyone made it out alive." Mimi explained.
"That's good." Kris nodded.
"Yeah." Mimi agreed.
"Listen, about you and Tanner. I-."
"Don't say anything. I should've talked to you first. I don't want things to be awkward between us. You should date Crystal. You obviously have feelings for her. Don't let me stop you." Mimi interrupted.
"Okay." Kris shrugged.
Eric and Quinn were in the guest room with a knocked out Phoenix.
"Do you think she'll be okay?" Quinn bit her nails.
"Yes. She'll be fine." Eric assured her.
"Some week this has been, right?" Quinn laughed.
"I know. And to think that Halloween is in a couple days." Eric remembered.
"Oh yeah. Maybe we should just stay in, and eat a lot of candy." Quinn shrugged.
"I'm okay with that." Eric nodded.
Phoenix groaned and opened her eyes.
"Hey!" Quinn rushed to her side.
"Quinn. Hi." Phoenix managed to get out as Quinn hugged her.
"Daniel knocked you out, but then Mimi shot him, and then we took you back here. Eric realized Halloween is coming up, and we want to just stay home and have candy all day, but we don't know what we're doing yet. I guess it's just going to be a majority vote." Quinn rambled.
"Whoa. Slow down. She just woke up." Eric held in a laugh.
"I want to have a costume. Let's go trick-or-treating while we still can." Phoenix argued.
"Fine." Quinn huffed.
"Isn't it nice to talk about normal things?" Phoenix realized.
"Very nice." Eric agreed.
"Who should we go as?" Quinn's eyes widened.
"Something scary." Phoenix thought.
"No. We always do scary." Quinn protested.
The conversation lasted for hours. Just ignoring the fact that a lot of people were dead, and that they would have a lot to do after Halloween.
Mimi and Kris were finally on speaking terms again, Eric and Quinn were never stronger, and Phoenix was talking to Ram now. They were a perfect pair.
Wonderlust had been saved yet again. No one had to worry about guns or secret passageways in theaters again. Everything was back to normal.
And everyone was happy.
