So I've had this idea in my head for years and here it is. Amber is me and Cassie, Jake, Marco, Tobias, and Ashlee are my nonexistent friends that I invented back when I watched way too much Animorphs. xD I do not own Space Jam or the Looney Toons, nor am I making any money from this story. 'Kay so enjoy.

Amber is a 20-year-old girl with a pretty average life. She loves hanging out with her friends, going shopping, watching movies, and pretty much anything else that most people enjoy. Beneath all of that though, she is very different. This may be noticeable from her appearance; she has 14 ear piercings, a lip piercing on her left side, a piercing through her right nostril, two star skin-divers below her left eye and one on each of her clavicles, a bellybutton piercing, a tongue piercing, horizontal nipple piercings, a tribal tattoo on her lower back, swirly star designs down her foot and stomach, a Japanese symbol on the back of her neck, waist-length black hair, and she always dresses in interesting, gothic-style clothing. She's involved in beauty school, sewing classes, dance classes, and she started a band with a few of her friends, but that still isn't enough; she's always daydreaming, wishing for more excitement. Then, one day, she gets her wish.

Amber's parents had just left town for a couple weeks and, not wanting to be alone for that long, she makes plans to stay with her buddies. She packs up all of her necessities and drives to Jake's house, where they usually hang out. Upon arriving, she grabs her stuff, locks up her car, and heads for the front door. Before she can even ring the doorbell, the door swings open and a scary gorilla mask pops out at her face.

She jumps slightly before sighing and saying, "Hey, Marco…"

The gorilla says, "Aw man…" before taking the mask off to reveal an attractive, Latino guy with nearly shoulder-length black hair and his ears pierced beneath it. "It doesn't work anymore!"

She laughs, "After a hundred times, no!"

A black-skinned girl comes up behind Marco and says, "Did you seriously just use that mask again?"

"Yes, he did!" Amber cuts in.

Marco laughs, "Come on, Cassie! You know it was funny when it'd send her running and screaming like a little girl! Well… she IS a little girl, but still…"

Amber punches him in the arm at that, "Hey, rude!"

He winces in pain and Cassie laughs, "You better watch yourself, Marco! That 'little girl' can pack a punch!"

"I noticed…" he mutters, rubbing his sore arm.

Cassie turns to Amber, "Ignore Marco, we've got a better surprise in store for you! Well… it was a surprise for me and Ashlee too, but… now we know so…"

Marco cuts in, "Yeah yeah, we get it Cass!" grabbing Amber's bag from her and adding, "Get your butt in here, chica! We've all been dying to tell you!"

Amber raises her eyebrows at him before squeezing by them, into the house. They lead her up to Jake's room.

Upon entering the room, a tall girl with short blonde, red, purple, and black streaked hair, a nose piercing, and a tongue piercing runs up to hug Marco and give him a peck on the lips, "Hey, babe."

"Jeez woman, control yourself!" says Marco, trying to act offended.

She hits his arm playfully in response. Cassie then asks, "How much are you paying Ashlee to date you again?"

"Oh ha-ha, very funny…" Marco says sarcastically.

Ashlee turns to Amber, "Yay! You're here!"

A guy with blonde, curly hair and bright blue eyes says, "About time!" from the edge of the bed. "I thought you forgot where I live!"

Amber laughs, "Oh shush, Jake! You said 6:00 and it's like 6:15 now so cool your panties down!"

The others laugh and the guy next to Jake, who looks part Asian, has black hair past his shoulders, has an eyebrow piercing on the left side of his face, and has three piercings on both his ears, says, "You'll need to cool your panties down when we tell you what we're doing over these next two weeks!"

"Shush, Tobias! And enough with the suspense already, you guys! Just tell me what's going on!"

Jake grins and says, "Alright alright… You know that basketball competition that Marco, Tobias, and I entered?"

"You won?!"

"Yep! And better yet, guess what we won!"

"Um… some kind of amazing trip maybe? Please say yes!"

He laughs, "Yes! And we have tickets for six people!"

Amber squeals and hops up and down excitedly.

Ashlee laughs at her enthusiasm, "We haven't even told you where we're going yet!"

"OMG where?!"

Marco answers, "North Carolina, to meet the best basketball player who ever lived!"

Amber gapes at him, "Michael Jordan?!"

He smirks, "The one and only."

"Holy tits!"

The others laugh at that and Cassie says, "We knew you'd be excited!"

"You bet I am! When are we leaving?"

Jake answers, "Tomorrow at noon… so we gotta be up early… but it's totally worth it, right?"

Amber giggles, "Fuck yes! So that's why you guys emphasized my packing so much stuff… I was like holy shit, guys… I just live down the street…"

Marco laughs, "Yeah, well North Carolina ain't down the street!"

"No kidding… So what's on the agenda for tonight? No drinking and partying it up I take it?"

Tobias snorts, "Not unless you wanna wake your drunken ass up at 8 AM tomorrow!"

Amber laughs at that, "Um no thanks!"

"I thought not!"

Marco looks at Jake, "Why don't we play that new game you've been raving about, fool?"

Jake shrugs, "Sure, but will that be enough to entertain us all night?"

Tobias stands up, "I can go to King's to grab us popcorn and some of those Redbox movies…"

"Sounds great, I'll go with you!" Amber says.

So Tobias and Amber go to get the entertainment while the others get started on the video game. They spend the night laughing and having a great time, even during the horror movies that Amber picked out. They all shower and go to bed a little later than they should have, around 2 AM.
