Ch. 1: Never Invited

Ok so this is a brief little two-shot that I thought was really cute. J/V is always implied, and poor Melanie always gets left behind. This is her way of having some fun too. (Will be later rated different for the next chapter. :] )

12:32 AM

"Oh my god, you guys never invite me to anything!" Melanie cried, as she watched Joy search for the perfect pair of heels. Her and Victoria were going somewhere and couldn't bring Melanie along for…whatever reason.

"Listen, Mel I'll explain everything later, but we are running very late!" Joy ushered Melanie out of her room, and nearly slammed the door in her face so she could finally get dressed in peace.

"Fine, I'll see if Elka wants to do anyth…" Melanie began.

"Forget it doll face, I got a date!" shouted Elka from the living room as she was tying her orthopedic shoe.

"Well damn, I have nothing to do tonight! It really sucks that I don't have a gbff to hang out with!" Melanie began to sulk and plopped her pajama-clad self on the sofa, and began to flip through a stray magazine that was on the coffee table.

Victoria then came into the room putting on her favorite earrings, and jokingly stated, "Well, what about that Haley Nash?" Melanie shot Victoria an evil look, and then actually took a moment to think about whether or not she still had Haley's number…

"Joy, will you come on? I'm growing a beard waiting on you!" Victoria shouted from the bottom of the stairs, checking her watch to see how late they were.

Joy and Victoria were going to an after-party for the Grammy's, they had been invited by one of Elka's celebrity friends, and they were told specifically NOT to bring Melanie just in case Haley Nash showed up.

Joy finally came down the stairs in a gorgeous navy blue mini dress and heels, elongating her already long legs nicely, as well as accentuating her breasts, and making her eyes pop. "Victoria, if I had known you were going to wear something more formal I would have too! Oh, God now I have to go change!" She shouted in horror, and began to go back up the stairs to change.

"No, Joy you look fine! You look positively gorgeous! Please let's just go!" Victoria shouted back, grabbing her clutch. She was wearing a pink halter dress that went right past her knees and clung to her every curve, along with her favorite Italian heels, and her favorite earrings.

Joy fumbled down the stairs, looking for the clutch she had set out earlier, and after five minutes of looking finally found it. As they proceeded out the house, Elka shouted from the kitchen, "You both look like hookers!"

Victoria paid no attention, and Joy merely rolled her eyes as they walked out the door, saying in unison, "And, we're off!"

Not ten minutes later, Elka left, clad in her leopard print track suit, which had been bedazzled to the nines, and her best orthopedic shoes, and smiled when her date arrived. The doorbell rang, and Melanie answered the door, and was rather surprised to find who Elka's date was for the evening. It was the guy Joy had been set up with a few weeks ago. "Hey, you're the guy who does the great impressions! Are you here for Elka?"

"Why uh, why yes I am!" The man said in his best Robin Williams voice. They laughed for a moment, and Elka came to the door. "Elka, you ready? I'm gonna make you a dinner you can't refuse." The man smiled at the older woman, and escorted her out of the house.

"Have a great time you two!" Melanie said as she closed the door behind them. Now where is that phone number? She thought to herself.

4:45 AM

Victoria strutted in the house with bare feet, her heels in hand, along with the arm of a drunken Joy. The lights were on, and Melanie was on the couch, watching some late night infomercial on bras nobody would ever buy.

"What ARE you watching?" Joy asked, as she stumbled her way to the couch. Melanie sat up, and replied, "Oh nothing really. I was just waiting on you two. How was it…whatever you went to?" Victoria came and sat down between Joy and Melanie, spreading her arms out behind both of them. "We had a blast!" said Victoria, as she proclaimed to have looked the best out of everybody the whole evening.

After a few minutes of listening to Victoria's gloating and growing bored, Joy interrupted Victoria, and asked Melanie, "How did you end up spending your evening without us?"

Melanie had been somewhere in outer space, and it took her a minute to respond to Joy's question. "Oh, oh um I uh…I called Haley Nash!" Both women's jaw dropped as they listened intently to Melanie.

"Yeah, she uh…She came over and we watched a movie, ate some popcorn, shared a bottle of wine…" Melanie began.

"Oh get to the good parts!" Joy then added, a little louder than she had hoped. Melanie smiled and continued her story, finishing with an ultimate jaw-dropper. "Then, half way through the movie we just got bored and started making out." Then, Melanie got up and headed up the stairs, her fuzzy slippers making an almost sticky noise as she headed up to her bedroom. "I'm off to bed! Good night!" She continued her grin the whole way to her room, and shut the door.

The other two women sat on the sofa still in shock, then looked at each other and smiled. They grabbed each other's hand, and Victoria leaned on Joy's chest, who had now stretched out on the sofa. "Should we tell her?" Victoria asked, looking at her and Joy's interlocked fingers. "No love. Let's wait and tell her later, like in the morning." Joy then gave Victoria a quick peck on the lips, and the two women fell asleep together.

Chapter 2 comes later! See what happens when Elka comes home! (No, she hasn't come home yet.)
