She's A Mystery, chapter 1

'Right now let me see... I have chocolate, beer and weed... I swear I've forgotten something... '

Tre ponders to himself while driving to the nearest gas station; he fills up the tank and goes to pay, he walks out and it hits him

Tre: '... Porn'

He shakes his head turns round and walks back in picking up a few magazines.

Billie Joe: 'What the fuck took you so long?'
Tre: 'Had to pick up some gas'
Mike: 'Pass me a beer... I'm parched'

They sit down on the couch and start to watch Napoleon Dynamite, Mike instantly beginning to piss himself with laughter

Billie Joe: 'Mike... you're gonna make me def'
Mike: 'Yeah... and'

With that Billie Joe gets up heading for the kitchen, sticking a finger in his ear trying to get his hearing back, he stares out the window, it was dark but the street lights gave enough light for him to see the outline of a girl, she stood in a white night gown down to her knees, her long brown hair sways in the wind, he was hypnotised

Tre: 'What you doing man... '

Tre comes up behind him and follows his gaze to the girl on the other side of the road, Tre whistles

Tre: 'She's hot'

Billie Joe just keeps staring not quite knowing what to do with himself, her gaze was icy but yet so inviting, Mike came in the kitchen in tears from laughing so much, he had paused the DVD

Mike: 'Come on guys what's... '

He stops spotting the girl, they all stare in awe, she was nothing special but there was something about her, it was a mystery, then to their shock she disappears

Mike: 'What the fuck... where did she go?'
Tre: 'Ok... we all saw her... what the fuck'
Billie Joe: 'What kinda beer did you buy?'
Tre: 'Hey don't blame this on me'

They just stand there in shock not quite believing what they just saw
After a few more minutes of staring and bewilderment they decide to go to bed not finishing the movie.
Billie Joe just stares at the ceiling, that girl had really given him the creeps, he wanted to call Adrienne but didn't want to wake her since she was staying with her parents with the boys.

Billie Joe: 'Who was she?'

Everytime Tre went to turn the light off he would change his mind, thinking that girl was gonna reappear, she was hot but still scared him, he looks at the door
Mike was sat up in bed reading, he wasn't sleepy and that girl was playing on his mind, after half an hour his eyes began to flutter shut so he put the book down and turns the light off, the girl was no longer puzzling him until he heard the creek of his bedroom door and the sound of footsteps on the carpet, he doesn't move trying to calm himself, his heart was beating so fast, he feels the bed covers lift at the foot of the bed
Billie Joe jumps hearing Mike scream, he rushes out the bedroom and down the hall, he opens the door to find Mike as white as a ghost looking up at Tre who was trying to apologise and explain

Tre: 'I was scared... I'm so sorry Mike... do you want me to get you a brown bag?'
Mike: 'You asshole'

Mike pushes him to the side; he places a hand on his chest still trying to breathe

Billie Joe: 'Come on Mike, Tre... let's go downstairs... I think we all need a coffee'

Mike seems to perk up and calm down at the words, Tre giggles quietly, Billie knew it would cheer him up, it was the one thing he could not resist well that and a donut.
They sit at the kitchen table, with the cups of coffee, there was nothing they could talk about and neither wanted to start on the girl

Tre: 'I am really sorry Mike'
Mike: 'It's ok... it reminded me of the Grudge... that bit scared the shit out of me'

They all laugh

Billie Joe: 'You weren't the only one... remember the woman two rows down... god... I felt sorry for her'
Tre: 'Her son was laughing'
Mike: 'I know... cruel little shit'

They all laugh again

'Help me'

They look at each other wide eyed

'Help me'

Mike: 'Tre... please say that was you'
Tre: 'No... Billie'
Billie Joe: 'I don't know... but I'm getting the fuck out of here'

Billie jumps up from the table heading for the front door soon followed by the others

Tre: 'Since when was your house haunted Mike?'
Mike: 'I don't fucking know... Blame Anastasia... she picked the house when we were together'
Billie Joe: 'I'm gonna have a fucking heart attack'
Mike: 'Not before me'

Tre stares in shock

Tre: 'Oh my fucking god!'

Billie Joe and Mike turn round; they stare in complete shock at the ghostly figure of the girl across the street, the wind seems to sail through her, she doesn't blink, doesn't shudder, she simply stares at them with a pale blank look on her face, She smiles weakly at them before stepping into the middle of the road

Mike: 'Fuck no'

They stare as the truck smacks right into her
