Mia gapped at herself in the mirror. Her once auburn hair was now highlighted with vibrant purple. Her newly found friends starred at her in the mirror, smiles plastered across their faces. Each with a funkadelic colors in their hair and whacked out outfit.
Gwen was in her favorite dance outfit with her big curls falling over her shoulders. Her hair was sea green with white streaks running through it. They were fat streaks too, about 13 of them all together. Her normal blue eyes clashed her whole appearance. They weren't even the same shade as her thong bottom and pasties. She worked at a dance club/ bar for crying out loud! Her sheer pale blue sarong hung at her hips and tickled the back of her calves.
Casside on the other hand was funked out all the way. Her long black hair with her thin white streaks hung straight down to her waist. The front pieces had some curl to it, Mia always said it was a winding road to her "lightning blue" eyes. Her outfit was a bit more covering then Gwen's. She wore low-rise daisy dukes that frayed around the edges and a strapless shinny silver bra. She had a dress shirt over it, but they had modified it with Mia's help. They cut it so it came mid way to her stomach then tied it up so her bra hung out. Then they had cut off the sleeves making it sleeveless. Her extra tanned legs were covered up by her knee high, 3 inch platform white boots.
Tess didn't wear much when she danced…actually nothing at all. She was in the nudist area (as Mia called it). But at the moment she had her silky yellow robe on, the sash tied tightly. Her long dark brown hair was done in two French braids. Her sandy blonde/brown highlights weaving their way through it. Her rainforest green eyes looked annoyed as she tugged on the end of her hair.
"I can't wait to get these things out!" she flipped her one braid over her shoulder, arching her back as it thumped in the middle of it.
"That's what you get! Don't worry, in three more hours you can take them out so you have the wavy look, like me!" Tess glared at Eveon. Eveon flipped her long platinum blonde hair and fluttered her eyelashes. Tess swiped at her but missed.
"I don't see why Johovan doesn't let you wear your hair down and hers up," Mia commented and met Eveon's ice blue eyes. She rolled them and laughed.
"He wants us to be each other, that's why," she smiled her perfect smile, that matched everyone else's. "Arg, I really need to get a new outfit!"
"Are you complaining Eveon," her head bounce up at the sound of a male's voice. The man was tan and looked about two years older then them, 25. His hair was all a-natural with some falling a bit over his smoky blue eyes. His tan complexion went good with his silky dress shirt and black slacks.
"No Johovan!" she laughed nervously and smoothed her hands over her spandex covered legs. She HATED the cat suit, but wasn't about to complain now.
"I see you're ready to dance tonight Mia…you are joining the girls right? You look more beautiful then ever before," Mia's face flushed as her hand went up to her new dye job.
"Wish I was, but I promised the guys a night out tonight," Johovan smiled broadly. Mia knew what was coming next.
"Why don't you bring them over here?! We'll give them discounts and all the free drinks they want!" Mia's face faulted. She shook her head, hair flying in her face.
"No, no, it's a stay at home thing. I've told them about the club…but they don't know I dance, and I don't want them to know," Johovan gave her a thoughtful look and nodded.
"Tell them to stop by anytime…discounts for large groups," he winked and her then turned to the other girls. "Come now! You are on! Go, go!" they girls waved their good-byes and left Mia alone, looking at herself in the mirror. "You really should dance soon Mia, you're looking better then ever, which is hard for you." His hot breath tickled Mia's neck, sending shivers racing across her body.
She watched him leave through the mirror then let the blush seep through. Johovan always did that to her, made her feel a way another man could never. Not even the guys made her feel this special and beautiful. Ryo used to have an effect on her, so did Sage. Their great looks and wildly different personalities set her on flames. But now…they were just a fizzle. The guys used to compliment her, now they barely noticed her. They probably wouldn't even remember the night together tonight.
"Agg, that's in a few minutes, I better go," she muttered to herself and left out the back entrance, taking a glance at the wild flames from the Bon fire outside of the south hall. Sighing to herself she made her way out of the overly stuffed parking lot and over to the bus stop. She had loaned her jeep to the guys, and Kento had taken the SUV.

=back in the club=
Casside stood with one leg over the thin glowing string, an arm wrapped around one and another one going across her stomach. Her white streaks glowed neon green under the millions of black lights and her body moved wildly. Her eyes though, were connected with a young man's. Licking his lips he moved across the dance floor, stopping to dance with a few approachable girls. Finally the man in his late 20's walked up to the table Casside was dancing at, totally blocked off from her by the web of glow in the dark strings.
"Are you busy?" she gave him a seductive smile and nodded to her dance partner, a young girl no older then 22. She untangled herself from the web and the guy helped her down. "Wanna dance for a little? Or head up for those rooms up stairs," his arms found their way around her waist and she giggled. Running her hands through his hair she started to grind her hips against his. Taking the hint he began to move with her.
~ get him upstairs now Casside ~ she heard a female snap at her and nodded mentally. Taking his hands Casside pulled him through the crowd, weaving in and out of the dancing bodies. She pulled him towards a lit up stair case and flashed the guard a smile. He nodded and she pulled him up the stairs. He was already half way undressed by now.
"I heard you girls do a pretty good job," he wiggled his eyebrows at her and she just smiled, pushing open a door. He quickly entered and plopped down on the bed. Casside shut the door and smiled.
~ few minutes later ~
Casside exited the room, leaving it completely empty, no man in sight.

Mia walked up to her house to find no cars there. She hurried inside, to be greeted by a dark and empty house. She stifled her screams of rage and tossed her bag aside on the floor. Waltzing into the kitchen she grabbed the phone. Punching in Sage's phone number she waited patiently for someone to pick up.
"Hello!" Mia reeled away from the phone as a high-pitched girls voice screamed into the phone. "hello? Hello! Is anyone there?"
"I-I think I have the wrong number, bye," Mia clicked the phone off and fumed. They had dumped her to go out with Erin and her friends again…AGAIN! Not even leaving her a note to inform her of where they were or to apologize for not making it.
She went upstairs and into the bathroom. Starting the water for a relaxing bath she gazed into the mirror. Touching the streaks of purple she sighed. She had to admit…they did look good on her. Flushing at the memory of Johovan's comments earlier she hurriedly got ready for her soak. Settling down in the water she growled her annoyance as the phone rang…and rang…and rang some more. Pulling herself up and out of the tub she tied her robe around her waist and trotted to the nearby phone. Right as she went to reach for it, the ringing stopped.
"Well that's just great!" she turned back and headed down the hall, stopping as she heard a tapping against the window. Taking a shaky breath she looked out, nothing but shadows. Then the phone started to ring again, it seemed to get louder and louder. Reaching for the phone, it stopped. Mia's heart did flips with her stomach as her eyes darted around. Screaming as the lights flickered and went out. It started to ring again, and something scratched at the window. Bounding downstairs, bumping into a few things along the way Mia scurried to find something, anything that would make light. She hated the dark, it scared her beyond words. She found a flashlight and with shaky hands turned in on. The bring beam cut into the darkness, giving her a bit more comfort but not enough. Reaching for some matches she shrieked as the phone went off again, tears were swelling in her eyes by now. She grabbed the cordless and held it tight…the rings stopped once more. Cradling the phone she started a bright fire in the living room. Curling up with the phone and flash light she huddled on the sofa, wishing the guys were there.
"Guys, where are you?" she buried her face into her arms, crying like a scared child, crying herself to sleep.

Ryo struggled to get the key into the hole, he had a weird feeling inside…but everyone did and they just blamed it on the drinks. Finally getting the door open he was greeted by darkness. He flipped the switch but nothing turned on. They each glanced at each other and him and Kento crept in. The other slowly following, holding up a half wasted Cye.
"Mia?" Ryo called softly as he looked into the kitchen. His heart stopped at the sight of things thrown around and tousled.
"She's in here," Kento called loudly. Ryo winced, the sound was harsh on his ears. He walked into the living room joining the others to find a sleeping Mia. Her hair was thrown about and wet, her robe barely covering her. Rowen left Cye's side, eyes filled with worry. He grabbed a blanket that rested on the chair next to the sofa and covered Mia's body, wrapping his arms around her, lifting her up. He carried her up the stairs, having Kento shine the flashlight on the stairs so he could see. Taking her up into her room, he rested her on the bed, tucking her in. He brushed away stray hairs and bit his bottom lip.
"So sorry Mia," kissing her forehead he left her to sleep peacefully. Walking downstairs he found Cye passed out on the love seat, sprawled out and drooling. Kento was sitting on the sofa, Sage had gone off to bed and Ryo was standing by the fire. ~ Something happened tonight…what was it? ~ Rowen thought trying hard to understand why Mia would be out in the living room like that.
"I'm going to bed," Kento announced and glanced at Cye. "He stays here," Ryo chuckled and nodded. Rowen took his spot and him and Ryo glanced at each other. ~ He knows something happened. ~
"What happened to her?" Ryo looked startled by his question and he just shrugged. Rowen glared at him and stalked off up to bed. Ryo had an idea and he wasn't tell anyone. Ryo soon followed up to bed, but stopped before entering his room. Taking a look at the room next to his, he decided to go see her. Stepping up to the side of her bed he frowned. She didn't look peaceful, her lips were slightly frowned and her face hard. He touched her cheek with his fingertips and pulled back quickly. She was so cold it scared him.
"Good night Mia," he said leaving her room and going to his.
