Room 222 - Monday Evening
Dick had been hanging around his room all day, trying to get Sparkles caught up on Supers before the show came back on tonight. Sparkles, being a highly advanced robot in disguise, wasn't real impressed with the superpowers but he did like the storylines and personal relationships between the characters. Not that Dick would know that since Sparkles couldn't talk.
While they were watching the finale Dick's phone began to ring.
"What's up, Beav?" Was Dick's greeting when he picked up the phone. Sparkles shot Dick an annoyed look and turned up the volume on the TV. Sparkles could be such a bitchbot sometimes.
"Hey dude." Beaver said. He sounded sort of sullen over the line but Dick passed that off as Beaver being his emo self. "How are you?"
"Eh. Annette ran off back home because of that whole thing I told you about. I think she's going to come back though. I've talked to her parents; nobody can be with them for a long period of time." Dick said. "So I'm just waiting for her, pretty much. And watching TV with Sparkles."
"Oh. Sorry." Beaver paused for a few moments. "How's Meg?"
"Good. She's playing flag football, which is weird. Never really pictured her as the rough and tumble type but whatever keeps her from moping in her room over Duncan." he said. He hated mopey chicks.
Beaver was silent again and Dick just knew he had something to say but was being a chicken about saying it. "Okay, what's with you dude? You obviously have something to say so just say it. Is Dad okay? Is Logan in jail?"
"Uh, no. They're fine. It's just um...something real bad happened today at school." Beaver said sadly. "There was this field trip for the journalism class and um, on the way back the school bus crashed and fell into the ocean. Everybody died."
"Holy shit! Oh my god, that's freaking awesome! I mean, not awesome, but Jesus! The bus fucking crashed into the ocean?" Dick got up off his bed and began pacing the floor of his room. "Shit, dude! How the fuck did that happen? Who the fuck died? Anyone I know? Aren't you in that class? How come you're alive? Not that I'm not glad you're alive but...Jesus Christ!"
"I don't know how it happened, dude. We all went to Shark Stadium together in this really horrible smelling bus and Duncan didn't want to go back to Neptune in that thing so I called Dad and he sent a limo. Me, Duncan, Veronica, Gia-"
"Who's Gia?"
"Gia Goodman, she's Woody Goodman's daughter. You remember him? He used to coach my Little League team." Beaver said with slight disgust. Dick knew Beaver had hated Little League. "He's running for Mayor and the whole field trip was his idea for some sort of publicity thing. Anyways, we all got in the limo and followed the bus back to Neptune. Next thing I know the fucking bus flies off a cliff. No brakes or anything. It was the sickest thing I've ever seen. So far Lamb's saying the bus driver went crazy."
"Jesus, dude. So who all died?" Dick asked. Beaver wasn't crying or anything so Dick figured that none of his friends were gone.
"Um, Rhonda Landers, Peter Ferrer, Marcos Oliveres, Betina Marone-"
"Oh I'm sorry, let me clarify. Who all that I give a crap about died?" Dick asked. Though Betina Marone had hit on him a few times. Too bad she was an '02er.
"Dick, don't say shit like that. They're dead." Beaver said.
"Whatever." Dick flopped back down on his bed, causing Sparkles to jump a little. "You know Meg's going to freak out about this. She's all about the little people."
"Dude, Meg took journalism last year. She's lucky she wasn't on that bus." Beaver said.
"You're lucky you weren't on that bus." Dick said. "Thank god Duncan's a little bitch."
"Yeah, I'm pretty lucky." he said softly. "Look dude, I gotta go. Dad wants me to rehash this story for him and Kendall."
"Oh yeah, how's that going?"
"Horrible." Beaver said. "I hate her."
"You'll deal." Dick said. "I'll talk to you later, dude."
"See ya, Dick."
Dick hung up the phone and turned his attention back onto the TV. He hoped Lizzie Manning would live up to her reputation of a gossip whore and tell Meg about the bus crash herself. Dick didn't think he could do it in a way that wouldn't make Meg freak out. Sparkles turned towards Dick and made a concerned beeping noise at him. For once Fandom seemed more normal than Neptune.
