Chapter 2: Adventure Time
"Hey...Hey kid..! Are you alright?" Mark slightly shook me and held his face against my mouth. "She's breathing... Someone get me some water!" He looked out into the audience and looked to Jack as a few people held up water bottles. Jack nodded and ran to the first water bottle that became available, then took it while thanking the girl, then he ran to mark and handed it to him. "Here Mark." Mark nodded and took the water bottle. "Thanks Jack." Mark opened the bottle of water and lightly sprinkled it on my face, which made my eyes shoot open as I coughed a little in result to some water slipping into my mouth and choking me slightly. Mark smiled and repeated his earlier statement, "You alright kid?" I looked up at him and blushed slightly in embarrassment. "Y-yeah..." Mark then helped me stand up as Yami let go of Lexi, who ran to me and hugged me crying. I looked at Mark, Yami and Jack and smiled a bit with some tears welling up in my eyes. "Thanks guys...This means a lot to me..." Mark, Jack and Yami walked over to me and they all smiled at me as Jack pat my back. "Ya took some spill there lassie." Mark nodded and looked at Lexi then at me. "We were super worried..." Lexi looked at Yami and rubbed her eyes as she walked back over to him. "Thank you for comforting me Yami..." He smiled and nodded. "Aaron...and no problem. I'm glad your friend is alright." Lexi blushed and hugged him again then sat back down.
Mark looked at me then back at Jack, "Hey kid... Do you wanna come with us to the bar tonight? You can bring your friend too if you want." I looked at them in disbelief as Jack nodded. "S-Sure...!" They smiled and Jack slipped me a paper with his, Yami's and Mark's cellphone numbers on it. "Call me after the panel. Mark, Yami and I will keep you in touch... By the way... What is your name?" I blushed more and slightly looked to the floor as I shyly said, "Maia..." Jack pet my head and nodded. "Alright.. Talk to you later." He smiled again then walked back over to Mark with Yami. I sat back down with Lexi clinging onto me. I pet her head and finished up the water bottle. When the panel finally ended, me and Lexi got up and walked out and into the nearest diner to eat. Once we were there and were sat down at our table, I looked at Lexi and then pulled out the piece of paper Jack had given me with all their numbers on it. Lexi looked at me and took a sip of her drink. "What's that?" I didn't look up, but I responded, "Mark, Jack and Yami's number...They invited me out to the bar tonight..." Lexi looked a bit angry. "Why you and not me?" I looked up at her irritated and said "You didn't let me finish...They even said I could bring a friend." Lexi held her hands over her mouth and tried not to squeal. "That's so awesome!" I nodded and typed Jack's number into my phone and called it. A man was heard on the other end with possibly 2 other people in the background.
"Hello? This is Sean." I held my hand over my mouth and tried so hard not to squeal. Once I got my composure together, I answered him saying, "Hey Sean...It's Maia...from the panel?" "Oh yeah! The girl who passed out right?" I sighed slightly embarrassed as I softly said with a chuckle, "Yeah...I'm that girl..." Jack laughed. "So we still on for tonight?" Lexi nodded frantically and mouthed the words, "Say Yes!" I nodded, "Yes. Which bar and when?" "Meet inside Frisky's at 9." I nodded and looked to Lexi with an excited expression. "Alright Sean, Thanks and I'll see you boys tonight!" I hung up my phone and squealed as Lexi frantically grabbed my hands. Nine o'clock came by too quick, since we started out at a diner, then found ourselves outside the bar waiting to get in. Once we finally got in, I immediately started searching around for Mark, Yami and Jack. Jack was over by the bar, drinking Jager Bombs like nuts,like the Irishman that he is, Mark was on the dance floor flexing his biceps and dancing like a cute retard and Yami was off to the side like an awkward turtle. I walked over to Jack and sat next to him at the bar. Jack smiled at me and ordered a Blue Motorcycle just for me. "On me. Don't worry about it Lassie." I smiled and accepted the drink. I've never drank so this was going to be an experience I've never had before. Jack laughed as I started drinking the drink. "This is your first time drinking huh?" I put the drink down and coughed with a disgusted look on my face.. "Y-yeah... I guess I'm not used to it." Jack pat my back and smiled. "Aye. Don't worry about it. You'll get used to it. Soon you'll be drinking like it's nothing."
Mark came up to the bar and asked the bartender for a Pomegranate Tequila and drank it down then slammed the glass on the table, before asking for a double shot of Fireball Whiskey. Yami then came up to the bar and asked for a shot of Patron. Lexi was off to the side and just left to go back to the hotel, seeing how she felt like no one really noticed her. Mark was shit-faced after having like four shots, Jack was a little wasted, and Yami was smart and didn't drink much seeing as how he had to drive. As for me, since I was given a really strong drink for my first time, I was a little off my rocker. I looked over at Mark and whispered in his ear, "Come to the back with me..." Mark smiled and followed willingly as I grabbed his shirt and tugged him towards the ladies room.
