Chapter Eight: Piecing it all Together

"Freddy! Oh my God, Billy! I will kill you- I swear I will kill you!" Katie stormed. Billy? Why of all people Billy? Poor Freddy... Oh my God, she would kill Billy!
Well... she would, if Freddy and Zack weren't holding her back.
"I can explain!" Billy squealed, beginning to scramble up the stairs.
"Hold up! You had better explain- you little..." Zack stormed. Summer was still frozen at the bottom of the stairwell- dumbstruck. Freddy was looking around, confused.
"Um, you guys?" Freddy asked timidly as Billy's eyes widened.
"Not now, Freddy! We are gonna kick Billy's ass after he kidnapped you like that!" Katie raged. Ooh, let me go, now! She felt like screaming at Freddy and Zack.
"No... that's exactly what I mean by now. What do you mean Billy kidnapped me?" Freddy asked. Katie's mouth dropped. What did Freddy mean by that?! Oh my God- Billy did NOT brainwash Freddy! Did he?
"What?!" Summer and Zack asked aloud at the same time.
"Please don't hurt me..." Billy begged, cringing.
"Explain yourself for him, Jones!" Summer demanded.
"Well... I came home last night after getting beat by Katie. Then I talked to Zack on the phone. When I was looking for his CD I saw Billy in my house- with the scariest outfit I ever saw! Because I wouldn't try on his outfit earlier, he came to me demanding me that I do so. Well... I felt kind of guilty, so really early this morning I came over to his house so I could try it on- even though I got, like, zero sleep last night.
"Anyways, I went down in the basement there and he locked me down there all day- until I tried on every single one of the outfits that I never would try on before. Then, he had to... uh... what's the word? Taylor! Yeah- that's it! He had to tailor them so they would fit. I was stuck down there all... day! I was so bored- I'm telling you! And those outfits! Ugh! No offense Billy, but if Dewey really liked your outfits, we would already be wearing them at performances." Freddy explained. Katie's heart stopped. All of this... for nothing. She had been going insane all day... for a fashion thing?
"But- but... the phone call! And Billy! He locked you in! Isn't that the least bit like kidnapping you?!" Katie gasped.
Freddy just shrugged, "I dunno. I had felt pretty bad about ignoring and making fun of him all these years... On the phone call he had just showed me one of his... creations and I kind of freaked and he took the phone."
"Hey! I'm right here!" Billy exclaimed- stepping up a bit more. Katie could not believe this. She could not believe this.
~*~*~*~*~*~ "You know..." Summer began tentatively, "I think we all learned something from this. Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to judge or band. Or our fan club. Well... that's besides the point, but I think that we should all put a little more trust in each other next time something like this happens... but it won't! It won't!"
"Summer- uh, we get it." Zack told her, blushing. Summer did the same and looked at the ground. Zack was still confused. Relieved. Confused. Tired. Disappointed. That whole day had been a waste. A fun, exciting waste, he would admit- but it had been a waste. He felt like collapsing then and there.
"Sorry you guys... it won't happen again. Honest." Billy told them awkwardly.
"It had better not." Freddy growled. "I was bored to death in there! I'm hungry!"
"What? I gave you the whole refrigerator practically!" Billy cried.
Freddy shrugged again, "Sorry to get everyone all worried over nothing."
"Please- just. Don't. Talk about it. Please." Zack informed as the group slowly began to walk up the stairs. Katie was still in a 'frozen' mode. Uh-oh... Zack thought as he put his arm back around Summer and sighed.
"Well... um... bye, guys. I'll call Dewey?" Billy offered.
Summer nodded. When Zack, Katie, Summer, and Freddy finally got outside, Katie tackled Freddy to the ground with a thump.
"Frederick Jones!! Don't you EVER- EVVER- scare me like that AGAIN! EVER!! Or instead of kidnapping you- I will KILL you- do you understand?!?" Katie screamed into his face. Zack smiled. He had thought that would happen...
"Should we stop her now...?" Summer asked, looking up at him.
He pretended to think about it. "Um... NO!" The two laughed as Katie yelled at Freddy all the way home... and he wouldn't have it any other way...
