This choice: But then, Alex shows up to ruin your fun.... • Go Back...Chapter #4Alex is Wild by: Unknown Before any of you could decide what to do, something lands in front of you and Katie, Jessica and Josephine scream. "Grenade!" Jessica yells. You gasp and see that it is a grenade. Manami screams and runs off as the larger girls step back. "Rick!" yells Josephine seeing you trying to run. Josephine jumps on the grenade, causing you to be tossed across the sand. "Josephine!" you shout.
However, surprisingly the grenade doesn't go off. You thought for sure that being crushed under Josephine's weight would cause a huge explosion, but as Josephine gets up, you see that the "grenade" is just a football painted to look like a grenade. "A fake?" you ask. "Kwa, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" laughs a familiar obnoxious voice. "Oh no." You groan.
You all hear flapping and from the sky with a boom descends Alexandria Luxor, the local beach bully. Alex was a titanic obese sphinx with scarlet fur and long strawberry blonde hair. You see that toothy smile with a pierced lip and nose and her blue jeans that are tight enough to look painted on her massive butt. Being a sphinx, Alex walked on all fours, which was amazing given how she was practically dragging that big belly of hers.
You hated that sphinx girl. She was a prankster who was always pulling mean-spirited tricks on humans and monsters alike. That balloon thing was one thing but one time when you were sunbathing, she sat on you and you swear she ate ten bean burritos on purpose that day. It a wonder your lungs didn't melt. It would seem that she was up to her old tricks.
"Gotcha." Says that sphinx with a smirk on her face. "Alex!" yells Josephine. "That wasn't funny." "Like yeah," says Katie as she breathes fire from her nostrils. "We thought that was a real bomb." Alex just let out a laugh. "Scares big monsters and teeny tiny little baby wormies too." She says in a condescending tone at your level. You grit your teeth and walk up to confront that troublemaker. "Listen hear Alex..."
Alex just smiles at you and shows you her terrifying teeth. She even sticks out her tongue and reveals a silver plated skull piercing. You step back. There was a rumor that piercing was the skull of her ex-boyfriend. Thank goodness it wasn't legal for her to eat you in Scream Town. "I'd watch what I say, bite-sized," says Alex. "You don't want to piss off a giant flying cat that just had 20 burritos, do you?"
As much as you hated Alex, you back away. You definitely didn't want to mess with her when her tank was that full. Last time you thought you would go blind." "Now listen here Alex," says Katie. "Your jokes are totally not funny." "Who is she?" asks Jessica. "Her name is Alex," says Manami. "She's a prankster who's always causing trouble. Just ignore her. That's what my Mom says."
Alex however lets out a scoff. "Come on, I'm not that mean. Here." Alex hands Jessica what looks like a gift box. "Welcome to the neighborhood." Jessica smiles and starts to unwrap the gift box. "Wait Jessica!" yells Josephine as her trunk hisses. "Don't!" But the were rhino opens the box and it explodes into smoke as the monsters cough. It didn't surprise you. Alex plays that same prank on all the newcomers. She gave you one of those exploding gift boxes when you moved you.
Suddenly you gag as Alex grabs you and laughs. "That never gets old." She says with a laugh before she flies away. Josephine blows away the smoke with her trunk. She raises her trunk and it hisses as Alex carries you away. "Alex!" yells Josephine. "Give me back my boyfriend." But Alex just moons Josephine in response before flying off. You try to escape her grip but the sphinx has you too tight and smiles at you.
"I know the perfect prank for you, Wormy." She says mockingly. What is that crazy sphinx gonna do to you?  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
