As Art3mis led us through the hallowed halls of Shermer High School, we began to see a lot of strange things.
Just inside the entrance, we passed a gaggle of jocks wearing identical blue-and-gray letterman jackets featuring the school mascot, a bulldog. I recognized Andrew Clark (Emilio Estevezâs character in The Breakfast Club) among them, along with Jake Ryan (Michael Schoefflingâs character from Sixteen Candles). They were both admiring a pep-rally banner that read GO BULLDOGS GO!
We also saw several posters urging students to attend the senior prom, which was scheduled for later tonight, in the main ballroom at the Shermer Hotel. Every night of the week was prom night here on Shermer. All year long.
âHey guys,â Shoto called out, keeping his voice down to a loud whisper. âOver there! Thatâs her, isnât it? Andie?â
He pointed out a familiar-looking girl with red hair who was walking toward us. It was Molly Ringwald again, but not the one from Sixteen Candles weâd spotted earlier on the bus. This was a slightly older Molly, with hair that was a much lighter shade of red.
âWrong Ringwald,â Art3mis said, shaking her head. âThatâs Claire Standishâthe Molly from The Breakfast Club. Weâre looking for the Molly from Pretty in Pinkâ¦.And at this time of the morning, she should be rightâ¦overâ¦there!â
She pointed down the hall, where we saw yet another Molly Ringwald walking to class. This incarnation wore a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles, her bright-red hair peeking out from beneath a black hat with a flower-print scarf wrapped around it. She was dressed in a pink sweater, over a pink blouse, and she did, in fact, look quite pretty in both of them.
âI hate this place,â Aech said, shaking her head as she took in our surroundings. âItâs like being stuck in the Matrix. With the Brat Pack.â
âThat why I love it!â Art3mis replied. âDonât yuck my yum, Aech. Donât do it.â
âHold on,â I said. âAndie Walsh didnât attend this school in Pretty in Pink, did she?â
Art3mis shook her head.
âNo,â she replied. âShe attended another fictional schoolâMeadowbrook High in Elgin, Illinois. But Pretty in Pinkâs characters and filming locations were amalgamated into Shermer, along with the rest of Hughesâs filmography. Keeps you on your toesâ¦.â
We continued to follow Andie at a distance, until she stopped to greet her friend Jena, who was retrieving some textbooks from her locker. Shoto took a few tentative steps toward Andie, but Art3mis grabbed him by the arm.
âNot yet,â she said. âWe need to wait until she leads us to another NPC. Until he shows up, we have to keep our distanceâ¦.â
I started to ask who she meant, but I was drowned out by an approaching male voice that was repeatedly shouting the phrase âSave Ferris!â
We turned and saw that the voice belonged to a tall blond boy making his way through the crowd. He was holding out an empty Pepsi can to passing students, many of whom were eagerly dropping money into it.
âThank you!â he said, bowing slightly after each donation.
