Part 15: It was, um, THE RING!
Stolen Movie Plot: “The Lion King”, “The Fellowship of the Ring”
NEW CHARACTER: Victor Crumb (new spelling = totally original. *wink wink*)
Tyler ran after Natalie, who seemed to be in a trance. She was walking sleepily up the stairs. He followed her up nearly three flights of the silly things. Finally, when he couldn’t possibly go up any more steps, she stopped. So did he. There stood Elmo and Moxie, who was lying on the floor, all tied up. Moxie was struggling against her bindings.
“Tyler, run! Get Natalie and go! Elmo wants to kill you!” Tyler shook his head.
“Not without you. Natalie would kill me.” (I swear, I don't know why this is all underlined...) Moxie rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, just like Elmo wants to kill you! Now get out of here." But Tyler stood his ground. Elmo chuckled. (WHY IS MY CPU DOING THIS!!! AGH!)
"It's nice to see you again, Tyler." Tyler glared at him.
"I was hoping I'd never see you again." Elmo's grin turned into a sneer.
"I was thinking the same thing. You were always in my way." Moxie looked from Tyler to Elmo, then back to Tyler.
"Um, what is going on here? How do you two know each other?" Tyler gaped at her.
"I swear, you're getting smarter every episode, Moxie." Moxie shrugged, or tried to, seeing as she was all tied up.
"It's a gift." Elmo was still staring fixedly at Tyler.
"All that's about to change. Get ready to meet your demise, Tyler." Tyler whistled.
"Wow...that's a big word there, Elmo. How long did it take you to find it in the dictionary?" Elmo growled and lunged for him. Tyler felt the air leave his lungs and he felt himself falling into empty space. Moxie screamed. Her scream awoke Natalie, who still didn't know what was going on. Then she saw Moxie on the floor, the french bread, the fan, and Tyler gripping the slick floor, trying not to fall into the empty elevator shaft beneath him. Natalie gasped (surprise, surprise. GET A NEW HABIT).
"Tyler!" She ran to him and reached out her hand. Tyler grabbed for it, then slid back a few inches. Elmo was holding on to his legs, jeering the tall 21-year-old (I can't find any descriptive words) as he held on.
"Your father is dead...and it's all your fault." Tyler slid again, his face white.
"No, it was an accident!" Elmo chuckled again.
"An accident you caused. Accidents do happen...but that doesn't mean it was your fault." Natalie held on for dear life.
"I don't know why, but I don't want to let you die because I feel like my life depends on you." Tyler rolled his eyes.
"That's comforting." Natalie tried to think of something subtlely romantic as not to break the mounting sexual tension that was necessary for the show to function, but she couldn't think of anything. Elmo jabbed Tyler's leg with his fingernails, which were surprisingly long. Tyler let out a cry of pain.
"I remember when you I saw you standing over your father's body. What was it I told you?" Tyler tried to kick the scary man, but to no avail.
"Shut up, Elmo!"
"Aaah, I remember! I believe it was, 'Go, Tyler. Go away, and never come back.'" Natalie was confused.
"What is he talking about, Tyler? He killed your father, not you?" Tyler looked away, manly tears glinting in his eyes. (YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE!) Natalie felt someone grab her waist. Moxie had somehow escaped her bindings and was pulling Natalie back. She grinned.
"Hold on, guys, we're almost there." None of them saw Elmo take out his knife and jab it into Tyler's side. Tyler screamed and let go of Natalie's hand. He grabbed the edge and his face was visible for a few more moments. The last words he said were, "Fly, you fools!" Then he let go. Natalie lunged for his hand, but it was too late. She felt a sob escape her throat.
"NOOOOOOO! TYLER!!!!!!!" Her cry was so loud that teachers and students from all over the school came to see what was the matter. Moxie helped her friend up and waved everyone else away.
"She's fine. She just needs some air." She guided Natalie down the stairs and outside. Natalie was crying.
"I can't believe he's GONE!" Moxie smiled feebly.
"Well, look on the bright side...Elmo's gone too!" But that just made Natalie cry harder. Moxie wished she were more helpful. "Crumbs, I wish I were more helpful."
"You called?" Moxie turned around. An extremely hot buff Bulgarian guy was standing before her. Natalie looked up and recognized him as the guy she'd seen in Mr. Sours' classroom. Moxie glared at him.
"What are you talking about?"
"You said my name. I'm Crumb, Victor Crumb. How may I help you?"
(Well...he's gone. Sorry, guys. WE'LL MISS YOU, TYLER! Let's have a moment of silence for our lost comrade. That's enough silence. Tomorrow: Crumb teams up with Natalie and Moxie. Garbanzo maybe. I dunno. I'm tired.)
