Billie the Zombie, chapter 2
"Sorry," Tre shrugged.
Billie moved closer to him and raised an eyebrow. "Uh...why are you tied to a tree?"
"Because..." Tre trailed off and his eyes widened in fear as he remembered what Billie was. "ZOMBIE!!!" he yelled. He squirmmed uncomfortablely as he felt warm liquid trickling down his leg.
"Where?!" Billie screamed. He ran around the tree in circles like a chicken with it's head cut off. "He's following me!" he sobbed. Then he stopped and started to untie Tre. "Come on...we have to get outta here!"
Tre screamed. "Get away from me! It wasn't my fault!"
Billie stopped untying him and stared vacently at him. "Huh?"
Tre panted for a moment. He couldn't think of anything intellegent to say so he screamed "Zombie!" again.
Billie started to panic. "Come on! He's going to get us!" He ended up tightening the knots around Tre instead of loosening them.
Suddenly Mike appeared with a...
butterfly net.
Tre looked at him strangely. Mike shugged and mouthed "It was the best I could find," to Tre. Tre rolled his eyes as Mike snuck up on Billie. If skipping like a little girl counted as sneaking. But Billie was to busy screaming and crying like an idiot to notice Mike's girlishness.
"Aha!" Mike cried happily as he swung the net. It only caught Billie's head so it looked like he was wearing a lame butterfly net for a hat. Billie's brow furrowed in confusion.
"Mike?"
Mike jumped back in fear of being addressed. "It's no use!" he called to Tre. "He's too strong!" He quickly untied Tre and ran with him under his arm away from Billie who still had the net on his head. A woman pushing a stroller saw him and cracked up.
Billie just started crying as she pointed at him and laughed hystaricly. She eventually walked passed him and he ran after his band mates.
Tre was being dragged by Mike across the ground.
"Gah...cantbreavemic!" he tried to say.
"What?" Mike looked down at Tre whose face was very red.
"CANTBREAVE!"
"Oh, sorry," Mike said as he dropped Tre. Tre fell to the ground and gasped.
"Ow," he panted. He goaned in agony and coughed dramatically. Tears formed in his blue eyes, spilling down his pink cheeks. He blinked slowly at Mike standing over him his eyes silently asking "why?". He felt them close and he passed out.
"Jeez, Tre! I said I was sorry!" Mike complained as he rolled his eyes.
Tre didn't get up.
"Make way for the drama queen, everybody!" Mike yelled sarcasticaly to all of the other people in the park.
Billie heard this and ran over to Mike. "The drama queen's here?!" he asked excitedly. "Where?! I want an autograph!" He hopped up and down idiotically.
Mike screamed and scooped Tre off of the ground and ran with him all the way back to Billie and Adie's house. When he got there, he ran into the door head first expecting it to open magicly. He groaned and used the door knob. He ran inside and tripped over Joey who was on the other side of the door. He fell over and landed on top of Tre who landed on top of Joey.
Just then Adie walked in.
"OH MY GOD!" She screamed. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY SON?!"
"Adie! It's not what it looks like!" Mike said as he tried to get off of unconscious Tre. Adie ran over to Mike with a baseball bat and started beating the crap out of him.
"Ow! Adie! I was...ow! Just trying to...ow! Get in the...ow...door!" he gasped between swings. "I've...ow! Got some bad...ow...news!"
She stopped trying to kill him and panted. "What?"
"Billie's a-"
"Mom!" Joey yelled. "Help me!"
Adie went over and pushed Tre off of her son. "Thanks," he mumbled. Then he passed out.
"Joey!" she yelled at his limp form on the ground. "Don't pass out while I'm trying to talk to Uncle Mike!" She turned back to him. "Billie's a what?"
"Zombie!" Tre yelled, suddenly awake. He pointed out the still open door. Sure enough, there was Billie, who still had that stupid net over his head.
"Where?!" Billie yelled. He ran in and tripped over Tre who had fainted again.
Billie got back up and ran in circles like a maniac. "Adie!" he yelled, grabbing her by the wrists. "He's after us! We've got to go!"
She glanced at Mike who had a worried expression on his face. Then she picked up the bat and started to beat Billie senseless with it. "Ow! Adie! What are you doing?!" he screamed. She hit him on the head and knocked him out.
"Great," Mike said sacasticaly, staring down at the three unconcious bodies lying on the floor.
"Now what?" Adie asked, worried.
"Okay, you take the kids upstairs and call the police. I'll try to wake up Tre."
She nodded and dragged Joey up the stairs, calling Jakob's name.
Mike got a beer from Billie's fridge. He opened the bottle and held it under Tre's nose. As soon as he did, Tre sat up and stared to drink it thirstily.
He sighed happily. "Thanks, Mike," he said, raising the empty bottle. He smacked his lips and looked around. He saw Billie lying beside him and said, "Oh hi, Billie! Had a few to many, did you?" He smiled. "Well, I had the strangest dream," he told Mike.
Mike looked at Tre. "It wasn't a dream," he said.
"Hey, how do you know what I was dreaming?" Tre asked angerly.
Billie goaned and sat up. "Mike? Tre? What happened?"
Mike and Tre stared at each other. "Oh..." Tre said, remembering. "So it wasn't a dream. Okay." He sat there for a moment, trying to remember what else had happened. When he did, he yelled, "ZOMBIE!" and stood up beside Mike.
"Come on!" Mike said. They ran into the kitchen and Mike pulled out two black outfits from behind his back. He shoved one into Tres hands. "Put this on," he told him. Tre was confused, but he put the thing on anyway. It was a priest outfit.
"What the he-?"
"Shh! Priests don't swear!" Mike had his new clothes on too. "Follow me."
They walked over to Billie who was still standing confused in the living room.
"The power of Christ compels you!" Mike yelled at him.
Then he and Tre started singing 'Jesus of Suburbia' at the top of their lungs.
"Mike, what is going on?" Billie asked. Mike didn't answer. He pulled a bucket of water out from behind his back and poured it over Billie.
"Ah! What are you doing?!" yelled Billie. He ran in circles...again...screaming "I can't see! I'm blind!" He opened his eyes. "Oh, that's better..."
Billie moved closer to him and raised an eyebrow. "Uh...why are you tied to a tree?"
"Because..." Tre trailed off and his eyes widened in fear as he remembered what Billie was. "ZOMBIE!!!" he yelled. He squirmmed uncomfortablely as he felt warm liquid trickling down his leg.
