House of Anubis: The Grail of Anubis

House of Tests/House of Allergies

MacKenzie walked into the kitchen the next morning, with the rest of the kids trailing behind her.

"Oh my god." MacKenzie grinned. She stared at the plate of 'Kenzie Cupcakes' on the table, the 'Vote for MacKenzie' posters, and a schedule. Trudy appeared from the kitchen.

"You said adults couldn't help. I may be an adult, but I am also your friend." Trudy smiled.

"Thanks, Trudy!" MacKenzie gave her a humungous hug. "Hey, why didn't you just ask one of us to help?" Sarah asked, referring to the whole 'school representatives project'.

"Because I'm not really the best of friends right now with my sister and my...Duncan. And besides," MacKenzie stood, "the rest of you have this little group going on. You would've just blown me off to do something better." MacKenzie took the posters, the cupcakes, and the schedule.

"I'm going to school." She stated, and walked off.

"She is right." Rhys said.

Duncan sighed. "Well, I have to go to coach to give him this recording of the rival team confessing."

"They didn't actually confess, they got caught in the act, Duncan. There's a difference." Robert corrected.

"I want to call it a confession."

Duncan walked out, then Arielle grabbed a pear and caught up with him. "Hey, are you sure you want to turn that in?" She asked.

"What do you mean?" He responded. "I mean, you'll be asked this one question: how did you get it? Then you'll have to say it was me-"

Duncan cut her off. "-woah, woah, woah. Who said I would ever rat you out like that? I'm not that type of person, Arielle. If I get asked that question, I'll just say that I went to Ms. Marshall's office to ask her something, she left her computer on, and that I'm a snoop, so I went through her cameras and found the tape."

"You won't tell that I was your...helper?"

"Of course not. But, I will still get detention and I might need a bit of company there." Duncan flashed a flirty grin.

"Will you?" Duncan nodded. Arielle chuckled, and started to walk past Duncan.

Back at the house, Sibuna was still hanging behind at breakfast.

"Hey, Rhys, do you think you could come with me to the hospital? To visit Leslie?" Robert asked.

"Sure. Her diagnostics come in today. Why do you need to visit her?" Rhys asked.

"I just wanted to talk to her. I'm practically her best friend." Robert lied.

"Uh-third best friend. Sarah and I come in first and second." Riley corrected.

"Let's go." Robert and Rhys left the house.

"Come on, guys. We have a biology test to take." Jax stood up, his bag in his hand. Everyone stared at him.

"What?" He asked.

"What's the rush?" Robert asked. "You've never wanted to show up at school when you know there's a test we have to take." Sarah stated.

"You've never wanted to show up at school, at all." Rhys corrected.

"I just want to get it over with, okay?!" Jax exclaimed. He left.

"He's excited." August laughed.

~~~~~~

Leslie was sitting in her hospital bed. Rhys walked in, Robert behind him, but she couldn't see him.

"Hey!" Leslie greeted. "Mum and Dad were here, you just missed them."

"Aw, that's too bad." Rhys sighed. Robert stepped out from behind him. Leslie smiled.

"Hey, you're back!"

Robert leaned over to hug her.

When they hugged, the memory of them kissing flooded back to Leslie's brain.

Leslie grabbed Robert's shoulders and gently pushed him back.

"You...friend!" Leslie nervously laughed.

The doctor came in, and Rhys and Robert stepped aside.

"Okay, so here are your diagnostics. Did you, by any chance, know that you were allergic to cinnamon?" He asked.

"Cinnamon? That's why I ended up passing out?"

Rhys and Robert glanced at each other. "Apparently, it is. You should be more careful. You'll have to stay one more night, then you'll be discharged."

Leslie nodded. The doctor walked out. Leslie looked at them.

"What is it? You guys know something, don't you?"

"Sarah said that the green fluid you drank...it was the Elixir of Life." Leslie eyes popped out of her skull.

"What?!" She screamed. "Shh..." Robert hushed.

"I'm gonna live forever? B-but it couldn't have been the Elixir of Life. Do you know any eternal fluids that contain cinnamon?" Leslie started to hyperventilate.

"Well, there are a lot of green...potions down there. She could've just drank something else."

Leslie seemed to calm down.

~~~~~

"Good luck." Riley whispered to her boyfriend.

Jax began to take the biology test.

During the middle of the period, Riley began to realize that every now and then, she was glancing at Jax's paper to see if he got the answers correct.

"Wrong..." Riley whispered to herself.

"What was that, Ms. Miller?" Ms. Davidson asked.

"Nothing, ma'am." Riley gulped.

By the end of the period, Ms. Davidson had asked the kids to leave their tests on their tables.

Riley bit her lip.

She took Jax's paper, started to erase really hard, and ripped it right in half.

"Ma'am?" Ms. Davidson looked up from her desk. "Yes, Riley?"

Riley held up his ripped paper. Ms. Davidson sighed.

"You will have to stay for another period and complete another test."

Riley nodded.

She took the paper, and went back to her desk. She signed the top.
