I have more coming chapters coming within a month or two. *and I fixed the beginning chapters!!*. Enjoy
Boogie Man Nightmare
October 29, 1984
"Get inside here!" Chet growled as he grabbed Johnny by the arm, dragging him into house.
"Oww what's the big deal?" Johnny asked
"No bright idea?" Jenna quipped from behind
"Oh now don't be rude Jenna" Chet told her as they walked to the living room
"Ohh good job Jenna! I didn't think of that" Johnny replied. Chet glared as Jenna smiled.
"Well if you two are going to be that way, I don't have to practice my Halloween show in front of you Johnny"
"Oh great we can leave then!" Johnny quipped.
"Funny Johnny, real funny" Chet groaned as they got to the living room, where Mike, Marco, Hank, and Roy were sitting on the couch enjoying some refreshments. On the floor sat two boys playing with toy cars. One had dark hair, hazel eyes, and seemed of Spanish descendent. The other boy was white with brown hair and blue eyes. Both boys appeared to be the age of 5.
"Hey Roberto, be sure to share your fire engine with Roberto" Marco told the boy with dark hair.
"Ok daddy" Marco smiled
"You too Matt" Mike instructed the other boy
Matt smiled at Mike
"Ohh look who's here boys" Mike told the both of them, as Johnny, Jenna, and Chet went in. The two boys just stared.
"Hi Matt, hi Roberto" Jenna said.
"Hi" the two boys answered in unison
"I think Chelsea's upstairs playing with her dolls if you want to join her" Roy spoke up
"Can I watch TV instead?" Jenna asked
"No cartoons are on" Roy told her
"I know. I wanna see basketball" she smiled
"That's not on either" Johnny told her. "Go see what Chelsea's doing"
Before Jenna could answer the doorbell rang. Chet ran and got the door
"Chet I'm sorry. Dixie went with the others, and I'm stuck with these two" Dr. Brackett answered as a short blonde-headed little girl and a dark-headed little boy, both with blue eyes, and must have been 5 as well, stood behind him.
"That's ok. The other kids are here" Chet said as he scurried the guests into the house. The dark headed little boy followed Dr. Brackett, as the blonde-headed girl went to Jenna.
"Hi Jenna!" the girl smiled
"Hi Kelly!" Jenna greeted her back. "They're sending me to go with Chelsea, wanna come?"
"Sure" Kelly smiled. Kelly and Jenna went upstairs.
"Hey boys, wanna go with them too?" Marco asked
"No thanks" Matt answered quickly
"I dun play with girls" Roberto groaned
"What about you Josh?" Dr. Brackett asked the boy
"I'm with Roberto" Josh said as he made his way to join Roberto and Matt.
"Aww well now come on boys" Chet jumped in. "I know girls are a pain sometimes, but I really need to do this show without you guys here. I know, go play in the room next to the girls. Just don't touch Kim's tennis stuff. She'll get grumpy if you do"
The boys just sighed and went upstairs.
Upstairs
"Phew you two are here" Chelsea greeted as she started piling pillows against the closed door.
"What's going on?" Kelly asked
"Yeah what's going on?" Jenna jumped in
"This time of night he comes" Chelsea said nervously
"Who comes?" the other two girls asked in unison
"The boogey man" Chelsea answered with more fear in her voice
"The boogey man?" Jenna asked dumbfounded
"You really believe in that?" Kelly quipped
"I hear him at night lately" Chelsea answered, as she now paced back and forth
"Oh brother" Jenna sighed shaking her head
"You say that now Jenna!!!"
"He's a fake!" Kelly growled
"Yeah! It suppose to scare kids like us" Jenna added
"Ohh yeah! You wait til the power goes out"
Downstairs
"You guys ready?" Chet yelled from the garage. Before anyone could respond, or even hear him yell, he hit the switch, shutting off the power to the house
Upstairs
"Oh my God!" Chelsea just about yelled as she grabbed onto Kelly.
"Get…off…of me" Kelly growled
"That was a conwinceidence" Jenna quipped
"No it wasn't. Next comes stomping"
Just then, they heard the sound of stomping from downstairs. Chelsea started shaking where she stood.
"That a conwinceidence too" Kelly quipped, that time her voice getting more concerned. Jenna just blew it off
"Then comes the scream…"
That was when Chet started his skit downstairs and yelled in a dark deep voice
"I AM THE BOOGEY MAN!!!! I'M COMING TO GET YOU"
"Oh… boy" Jenna quipped nervously. Chelsea and Kelly jumped and held on to each other.
Just then the doorknob started turning.
"What do we do?" Chelsea asked, now crying
"I dun know" Kelly asked, as she was almost ready to cry too
"Jenna do something" Chelsea cried
"What?!? You crazy?!?" she growled
"Please Jenna" Kelly asked, now crying
"What?!? I'm younger"
"You braver" Chelsea cried. Jenna just sighed and looked around in the dark. She went next to the door.
"Kelly let us in!" a voice called through the door.
"It's Josh!" Kelly said as she stopped crying. Jenna opened the door. Josh, Roberto, and Matt went into the room. Jenna closed the door, piling the pillows next to it again.
"I wish my older sister here" Matt quipped quietly
"We all said we stay with yous now" Roberto whispered
"You no need stay with us. We handle him" Jenna snarled
"No we stay cause… we dun know what to do" Josh whispered
"We need to do something" Kelly jumped in
"Jenna come up wid a plan" Roberto asked her
She stood there thinking to herself for a few seconds. "I gotz it!!" she smiled. They gathered into a group huddle
Downstairs
"You have a shotgun?" Johnny asked Roy. Roy just glared
"Stupidest show I ever saw" Marco whispered, well more said out loud to Mike
"Tell me about it" Hank quipped
"Boogie man, Jaws, Frankenstein, and the grim ripper in one? Nice try though" Dr. Brackett told Chet.
By the staircase
"You sure this is going to work?" Kelly asked Jenna
They all at the same time heard Dr. Brackett and Hank say Oh my God I'm soo scared, not realizing they were mocking Chet.
"He's got the adults!" Chelsea cried quietly
"Not for long" Jenna grinned
"I hope you have good aim" Kelly whispered to her
"Can't worry about that. Just full attack" she said as she picked up a couple of tennis balls.
"Wait mommy gonna get mad!" Chelsea quipped
"Why?" Jenna asked
"She dun like anyone touching her tennis stuff"
"You have a better idea?" Jenna asked back.
"Nope….go ahead then" Chelsea instructed
Jenna sighed and took a deep breath until she heard
"My next victim…"
"Crap" she quipped and threw the first ball
"OWW!" Chet yelled
"What?" Roy called out
"Oh look, his mouth got tired" Marco quipped. The guys laughed until
"OWWW!! WHOSE THROWING STUFF?!?" Chet yelled. "THAT CHRIS DESOTO? I'M GETTING THE JERK!!!"
"Faster!" Chelsea and Kelly ordered Jenna. Jenna now started throwing more balls.
"OWWW!!" Chet kept yelling until Hank, Marco, Mike, Dr. Brackett, Roy, and Johnny started joining in with the yelling
"YEAH, WHO IS THROWING?!?" Marco yelled as he was now getting annoyed
"I'M GETTING YOU" Chet yelled as he now turned around. The girls only saw a green monster face as Chet shined a flashlight onto the face. Jenna threw a basketball this time, except it was as hard as she could. Chet got socked with the ball right in the stomach. He grasped his stomach and slowly made his way to the floor.
"YOU GOT HIM JENNA!!!!!" Chelsea screamed on top of her lungs
"NO NAMES YELLED CHELSEA!!!" Kelly yelled
"SHUT UP TWITS!!!!!!!!!!" Jenna yelled as she now joined in the bickering between Chelsea and Kelly.
"Forget my daddy YOU'RE MY HERO!!!!" Matt yelled out
"Why thank you!" she smiled
"Jenna?!?" Johnny asked
"Chelsea? Kelly?" Roy said joining in with Johnny
"Bravest woman I know after mommy!" Josh quipped as he ignored Johnny and Roy
"In words of daddy, make sweet love to me baby!!" Roberto quipped
"What that mean?" Jenna ask Roberto
"I dunno"
That was when the power turned back on.
"That is it!!! I said I don't mind the lights being out, but when you shut the power off throughout the whole house while I'm out…I swear you could've scared the kids!!! I really LOVE coming home to this" a woman's voice complained from the kitchen.
The woman, no larger than 5'8, blonde hair with blue eyes, walked into the living room, only to find Hank, Mike, Marco holding their noses, as Johnny, Dr. Brackett, and Roy were rubbing their heads. Chet lied on the ground, trying to catch his breath. She looked around the living room to see tennis balls, paper plates broken, food, cups, and soda spilled all over the carpet.
"Oh my god…" she growled
"Kim!" Chet gasped
Kim looked to the top of the stairs, only to see Chelsea and Kelly holding onto each other, the boys in a group huddle, and Jenna standing there with a Barbie doll in hand. Everyone sat there staring at each other quietly.
"WHOSE KID YELLED THAT TO MY DAUGHTER?!?" Johnny yelled angrily at Mike and Marco, breaking the silence as he nearly had a heart attack
"That was Roberto! Leave Matt out of it" Mike answered quickly
"ROBERTO!" Marco yelled. "DON'T REPEAT THAT AGAIN!!!"
"MY TENNIS STUFF!!!!!!!!!!" Kim screamed
The whole room started groaning and bickering until Jenna screamed
"SHUT UP!!!"
The room quickly went quiet.
"No saying shut up!" Johnny told her
"Can I finish please?" she smiled.
"Uncle Hank, Mike, Marco, Roy…daddy….Dr. Brackett, I sorry I hit yous. Chelsea fool me to believing that the boogey man was real. I heard the noise, Chelsea and Kelly were crying, then uncle Hank and Dr. Brackett say I scared, I had to do something"
"Well it's ok" Mike, Marco, and Roy told her
"It's ok Jenna. Actually Dr. Brackett and I were mocking Chet because he wasn't really that scary" Hank told her
"Fool you?" Dr. Brackett asked her. "You mean you never believed in the boogey man?"
"Never did believe!" She exclaimed
"Then why did you attack if you didn't believe?" Johnny asked her
"Well" she answered "I…I…I had my doubts that time! Plus I said I got fool!!!" she exclaimed frustrated
"It went as daddy told me" Chelsea said jumping in
"As daddy told you? What do you mean princess?" Kim asked her
"Daddy told me about the boogey man. He said he comes when it dark and he stomp and scream. I told Jenna and Kelly and it got dark. Then we heard screaming" she said as she looked at Chet
"Forget about that! Look at my house!" Chet groaned as he took the mask off
"Yeah look at it!!!" Kim quipped at him. "You're cleaning it up!!!"
"What?!? So should Johnny!!!!"
"Me?!? What did I have to do with this?!?" Johnny answered sharply
"It was your kid…"
"Don't blame Johnny" Kim said as she smacked Chet in the head as he got up. "His kid got scared because our kid got scared over what YOU told her!!! Therefore I am not holding him responsible. I told you not to turn the whole power off and this…..THIS is exactly why!!!! Look at those kids! They're scared up there!!!!!!!!"
Johnny just grinned
"See told you he didn't exist!!" Jenna growled as she shoved the Barbie doll back to Chelsea. Kelly just glared, along with the boys, and headed downstairs.
"Ohh honey I'm sorry" Kim told Chelsea. "That is NOT true. Your daddy's just….let's just say your daddy is dumb in nicer terms"
"So it not true?"
"Remember I told you about Myths?"
"Yeah"
"Your daddy is good at making one up. The boogey man is just one of them" she smiled. "Hey I have a story you can tell daddy, and it's actually a true story"
"Is it scary?" Chelsea asked.
"To you no, to him yes. Story is of a man who told his daughter a scary story. It was such a scary story, the little girl's mommy made him sleep on the couch that night" Kim smiled as she went into the kitchen. Chet looked at the guys. Hank and Roy just left, as Johnny, Dr. Brackett, Mike, and Marco quickly gathered up their kids and left.
"Why me" Chet growled to himself as he started to clean up the living room.
