Best Movie Ever Made
Octavia Wilson frowned as she watched her best friend Madlyn Jones run towards the ocean.
It was warm outside, and Octavia wasn't one to agree with heat. Like, at all. She had to have her fan aimed at her during night time, even during Winter. She brushed a strand of her dark brown hair behind her ear, growling.
"Can we please leave now?" She shouted to her friend.
"Come on!" Madlyn shouted. "I could never get a chance to surf waves this big again!"
"Yeah, well you didn't tell me it would take this long to get you to get in the stupid ocean! I'm burning up here, Maddie!" She reached up and tied her short brown hair into a very short ponytail, exposing her freckled face.
"Well I'm sorry!" Madlyn shouted from the edge of the water. Her entire body began trembling. "I'm just nervous! I've never surfed a wave this huge before!"
"I can help you with that, then." A sly smile crept up the pale girl's face as she ran to her friend, she tied Madlyn's leg rope on for her and pushed the surfboard into the water, "There you go!" The brunette cackled and waved good luck to her friend.
Madlyn paddled up to the waves and stood up. She did ok at first, but she wiped out and seemingly disappeared completely.
Octavia held a hand over her mouth as she watched her friend being dragged down by the water. The lifeguard wasn't doing anything, so she ran ahead instead. Without questioning anything, the brunette dove into the water to go rescue her friend.
The girl sped up as soon as she saw her friend, a determined expression on her face, not caring what would happen next. The only thing that mattered now was saving her best friend.
Madlyn paddled for her life, trying to stay afloat. She gasped when she saw her friend heroically swimming towards her to save her, "Octavia?"
The brunette jerked upward and grabbed the girl in her arms, "You freaking idiot! You scared me to death!" Octavia glared at her friend, "But although you did most of the dumb stuff, I will wholeheartedly blame that dipshit of a lifeguard. I mean, who looks at their phone when someone is drowning?"
Anger bubbling in her body, she was oblivious to the change of scenery.
"Where are we?" Madlyn asked as she looked up. This place seemed vaguely familiar, but completely unreal.
"What are you talking about? We're in Flori—" Octavia looked up, noticing the sudden changes. The beach looked different as well, "Holy crap...this isn't Florida, is it?" She looked to the side and saw two teenagers- a boy and a girl standing at the shore. A sandy haired blonde boy and a brunette wearing a rash guard and holding a board with a strangely familiar flower emblem on it.
"What is this place?"
"Everything seems so familiar to me, almost like... a movie." Madlyn whispered.
"Holy freaking crap!" Octavia shouted, "This is impossible. No way, no way. This can't be happening." She pinched herself, but then when she saw the teens at shore she knew this was no joke.
"Maddie! I think we're in that movie, y'know Teen Beach Movie." The brunette said fearfully.
"What? Holy crap! That's, like, the greatest movie of all time!" Madlyn exclaimed. "How can we be inside a movie, though? Oh no! Are we dead?" Madlyn's brown eyes filled with fear.
"No. We are not dead, but we should probably get out of the water. If I remember from watching this over and over with you, Smartie Pants girl over there is about to get into the water." She pointed to Mack, "We should probably move out the way. Y'know, unless you want to actually die." Octavia grabbed her friend's hand and tugged her to the side.
Madlyn paddled to the shore and climbed out of the water. "Smartie Pants girl has a name, you know." Madlyn scoffed playfully.
"I know. But as we are trapped in a frigging movie, I couldn't care less. You know, I'm too busy panicking here!" She shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Oh, come on, lighten up! We happen to be trapped in the greatest movie of all time!"
"Oh, excuse me for thinking rationally." Octavia groaned, "What? Should I be happy that I am ripped away from my family?" The brunette growled, "Your just lucky I like you, because I would've kicked you in your shins by now."
The girl crossed her arms, slipped, and sat down on a small patch of sand atop the water.
I hate everything, she thought.
Madlyn sat down beside her friend. "You're right, I'm sorry." She whispered. "I was being selfish. I'll help you get back home. There's supposed to be a huge storm at the end of the movie that transports Mack and Brady home, maybe it will work for us too."
Octavia shook her head, "No, I'm sorry. This whole thing had me frazzled." A sudden realization popped into her head, "Wait, so that means we have to be transported into a second movie?" The brunette rubbed her temples, "This whole situation is driving me nuts."
"You're right. We will have to get ourselves trapped inside Wet Side Story. But it won't be so bad, we just need to try not to screw anything up and wait for the storm. Once the storm happens, we'll be home."
"But we're allowed to let Mack and Brady screw up the movie?" Octavia laughed, "Wait." The brunette said, looking to her friend, "When is the girl one supposed to wipe out? 'Cause the sky is all gray."
"Crap!" Madlyn yelled.
"Chill." Octavia soothed, "Look, Blondie is over there. We can make it in time, right? Just dive in and hope for the best, I guess."
"Ok, here goes." Madlyn dove into the ocean.
Nodding, Octavia jumped in right after the girl, holding her breath as long as she could. The water felt excellent against her vampire pale skin, but she couldn't care less. The two resurfaced right behind Mack and Brady.
The brunette grabbed Madlyn's hand to console her own fears. Octavia bit her lip, bracing herself for another transportation to another film.
Octavia watched Mack get sucked under the water with her boyfriend. The brunette inched forward, trying to fight her protective instincts. She bit her lip, yearning to save Mack. But she knew for the best that it wasn't supposed to happen like that.
"Here goes." Madlyn sighed. She squeezed her friend's hand tighter before they were swept under by a huge wave. Darkness took over, there was nothing but darkness.
Octavia heaved for air the second she reached the surface, looking up a see Mack and Brady ahead of the girls.
"...Come on, let's get your board." Brady told his girlfriend, "Let's go."
The paddled backwards and Octavia ducked her head underwater, as not to be seen. When the two teens began to walk to shore, the brunette paddled to shore after them, motioning her friend to do the same.
Madlyn ducked behind a nearby tree and watched as Mack stumbled around the brightly colored surfers during their musical number. "We're really here. Inside a movie, inside a movie." She whispered.
Octavia was about to respond with her signature sarcasm technique when she tripped over a rock and slammed right into Mack. Eyes wide in horror, she jumped over the rock and helped the girl up, "Oh my God, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to, are you alright?"
"Hey, no worries." Mack responded, smiling. She grabbed Brady's hand, but then they both slowly turned around slowly, noticing their non-'60s attire and attitude.
"Wait," Said Brady, "You aren't from here, are you?"
Octavia gulped in fear.
Great, it had only been a minute and she had already jacked something up.
"I'm Octavia." She introduced, "But that doesn't matter. You two need to get inside the building, now."
Mack was about to protest, but Brady shook his head, "She's right."
Reluctantly, the surfer girl followed her boyfriend inside the restaurant. Collapsing to the ground, Octavia let out a groan, "Could that have gone any worse?"
