Chapter 2: June 2
Alrighty, we decided to change the time range so that it's more doable. It now ranges from June 1st to September 24th . That's the only real difference.
Thank you all for reviewing! And since two of you were anonymous, I'll reply to you here.
Guest: Why thank you! I'm glad the story and my writing style is good! Made my heart go all fuzzy when you said that 3
Embercl: Thank you also! :D I'm pretty sure people would start hailing Mo as a god for saving their lives from Bodie XD
Song listening to at the beginning: Starships by Nicki Minaj
Now, on with the story! I'm going to try and get rid of this air bubble in my chest while I'm writing this, it's a very painful thing to have to keep going through. It hurts like a bitch!
Enjoy!
June 2, 2:30 A.M.
The bus was quiet, the dancers -except for Mo and Bodie- were all asleep on the bus in various positions: Glitch had taken to sleeping upside down, Kichi was... well, she was just perched on top of her seat looking like she was meditating, or something, Dare was spread all the way across the seat and was shoving poor Oblio even more so into the window, Emilia and Aubrey were sleeping on each others shoulders with Emilia's iPod still going off, Angel and MaCcoy had taken to the floor, Taye had shoved Angel out his seat so she could actually get some sleep, Li'l T was currently sleeping spread eagle style in her and Taye's original seat, and Jaryn was asleep on her brother's shoulder, who in turn was currently using the window as a pillow.
Mo was struggling to keep his heavy eyelids from closing shut. He knew he couldn't last much longer before he finally slipped into dream land. Everyone's lives depended on him though, so he tried valiantly to keep awake. He was about to succumb to sleep when suddenly MaCcoy was up in his face. "What do you want?" he asked sheepishly.
"I'm thirsty! Can we please stop somewhere so I can grab something?" the light-haired man asked, his goggles preventing Mo from seeing his eyes.
The Hi-Def dancer sighed, "Alright, alright. We'll stop at some place up ahead, okay?" his dark brown eyes flicked toward the windshield, noticing the gigantic gas station they were slowly getting closer to. "Bodie, stop up there will ya? MaCcoy needs to get a drink, and I'm sure some of us need to stretch our legs."
The driver nodded before pulling up to the station, narrowly missing a group of teenagers that were chilling outside. He really didn't appreciate that they flipped him the bird. "That was probably the best I've seen you park." commented MaCcoy before the group jumped off the bus.
Bodie moved to shut off the engine, when a screeching noise erupting from the poor vehicle. "Uh... that can't be good." the blond scratched his head before announcing to his passengers, "Welp... the bus broke down!"
Cranky vocalizations ricocheted toward the poor blond.

Oblio, Dare, and Glitch decided it was best to get some food while they were there, and so, they set off inside to get sustenance while the others tried to figure out what to do. Everyone was stumped; no one knew how to fix a freaking bus. So instead they had taken to staring at it, hoping that somehow it would magically fix itself like the Magic School Bus. They were about to give up when a very creepy man in a mechanics uniform strolled over to them, "Need some help?" the guy asked, talking in a very discomforting way.
"You're willing to help us?" inquired a very sleepy Kerith. The poor guy was hardly awake, and he had to help keep his sister awake too.
"For a cutie pie like you, of course I will!"
Kerith shivered, he really didn't want to deal with a possible rapist. Angel decided to save the pale blond by grabbing Kerith's shoulders with one arm, "Sorry man, he's taken."
Emilia tried so hard in vain not to burst out laughing.
The creeper shrugged, "Worth a shot." he mumbled before turning his attention to Bodie and asking him questions such as, "What happened?" or "What kind of sound did it make?"
Kerith looked at Angel, "I didn't require your help, but... thanks." the last word felt like poison, and tasted like it too.
Angel feigned a heart attack, "The great and almighty Kerith, saying thank you?! To Li'l Ol' me?! I think I'm going to just drop dead onto the cement right here and now!"
"Remove your arm from my shoulders before I set you on fire."
"There we go." the Latino chuckled before doing as he was told. Maybe he'll go bother Miss Aubrey for now.

Oblio was dumbfounded. The little trio that went in for sustenance was lost. Yes, you heard him correctly; lost. In a gas station. The upside fore Oblio was that Dare -and Glitch but that's not important- was the with him. At least he wasn't lost alone. The blue haired dancer noticed the floors were marked with arrows to point them to the exit, but each time the attempted to follow the arrows they never seemed to reach the exit. Kinda reminded him of Ikea. "I think we should go thi- Hey!" Oblio shouted after his pink haired companion, who decided to go the completely opposite direction that Oblio was pointing to.
"This way is better!" was her only excuse.
"How is it better?! They all look the same!"
"Because the candy is down this aisle, Duh." She countered before skipping toward the gargantuan aisle of candy with Glitch following closely behind her.
Oblio wondered if his teammates were ever going to worry about their very long disappearance.

MaCcoy was fairing much better than the other trio. He easily found some pop without any trouble, save for the cashier, that looked strangely like a pedophile might he add, that wouldn't stop looking at him no matter what he did. Eventually the fair haired boy was standing outside and waiting for Mo and Taye to finish looking for food.
Meanwhile, Mo grabbed some chips for Glitch before continuing on his little adventure with his lady companion. The two were on the hunt for food the others might like, and trying to find food for some people was proving to be a little difficult. The dark haired man stopped, he noticed Kichi was in the store ("How in the world did she get in unnoticed?"). The ninja was staring at some cans of orange juice. He tapped her on the shoulder... which unfortunately caused her to put his arm in a very painful grab. She let go when she realized it was him. "Do you not have money for this Kichi?" Mo asked, rubbing his arm in pain.
The girl shook her head lightly.
Mo scavenged through his pockets and gave her a $20 bill. "Buy as much as you want." he smiled while he walked away to join Taye with the shopping again.
'Ugh, why is he always such a sweetheart?' Taye asked herself in her mind.
"How about those cupcakes?" Mo pointed to some delicious looking chocolate cupcakes that were coated in a rainbow colored frosting with sprinkles.
Taye giggled before remarking, "All those sweets will go straight to my hips!"
"Your hips are perfectly fine. In fact, there's no way you could possibly look anything less than fine!" OH GOD. He said it without a thought; it just popped out of his mouth. 'What if she finds out and doesn't like me?'
Taye was astonished. Was he flirting with her? She's always liked Mo, but she never knew if he liked her. The dark haired girl decided to lightly flirt back, just to see if what she heard truly meant that he liked her. "You spend your time looking at my hips do you?" she said, adding a flirtatious smirk for the extra kick.
"Um... Not if it's a bad thing." he replied, hiding behind a huge display of pop juuuuuust in case Taye decided she'd rather just kick him in the face than kiss him.
Not that he was thinking that would happen or anything.
"Mo." she said his name before side-stepping the display with grace and putting her arms around his neck.
Mo realized that she was flirting with him. He went for it; he leaned in to give his beautiful girl a kiss, just a small one. Both of their hearts were beating a mile a minute, nervous and happy at the same time. Their lips were just a few centimeters apart, and he couldn't believe that this was happening. He finally gets to kiss the girl of his drea-
"HEY MO! I FOUND BEEF JERKY!" his dance partner came barreling around the corner, interrupting the semi-couple's intimate moment.
"WHAT THE HELL, GLITCH?!" screamed a furious Taye.
Dare and Oblio stumbled around the corner then, not knowing what the young boy's abrupt appearance and yelling destroyed.
Right then and there, Mo cried a little inside.

With the bus fixed and everyone on it -albeit Glitch had to sit as far away from Mo and Taye as possible- they were able to make it to the beach house by noon. All the dancers were glad to see the marvelous building they would be staying in, and the freedom they had. They all decided, since there were only a limited number of rooms, to have two people per room. The rooming arrangements are as follows: Oblio and MaCcoy, Dare and Kichi, Mo and Glitch, Kerith and Jaryn, Bodie and Angel, Emilia and Aubrey (who didn't like the fact her room was next to Angel's), and Taye with her sister.
After everyone put their junk in their assigned rooms, they all decided to wander around the place. MaCcoy ran into Glitch, who was just emerging from the bathroom. The blond waved, barely taking notice of how suspicious the little guy was acting. I mean really, wouldn't you be suspicious of someone that gave you a guilty look, and glued themselves to the door they just came out of?
MaCcoy is going to learn to never be that oblivious ever again.
And that is chapter 2~ I really hope you all liked it!
That last bit was supposed to be foreshadowing, but I'm kinda hyped up on shockers right now. I hope I did well enough! The creepy mechanic part was truly, my dialogue. My step sis (that I usually make these with) told me to make him creepy, and left the dialogue to me. Hehe :D
Song listening to at the end: Starships by Nicki Minaj.
This would have been done sooner, but I was dancing all day yesterday (and playing Halo 4). I rested myself when my friend left, and I actually ended up falling asleep and waking up at 4:10 in the morning _ "
ANYWAY, PLEASE REVIEW, it makes me really happy and updates come quicker that way. I was planning to update Insanity Awaits tomorrow, but I wanted to be nice and update it again ;). I also like to take the time to reply to every review I get, unless it's anonymous... I can only reply to those through this way :D
Please Review!
