Ps- I know the Sips and Minty bit is a Harry Potter rip off, don't judge :3
The top floor of the Jaffa Factory was bustling with bodies. Sips and Sjin could hear the rhythm of the music beating above them and they navigated their way through floors.
"Yo, Sjin," Said Sips
"Yeah?"
"Is Hannah there tonight?"
Sjin paused, and turned to face is best friend.
"Sips, unless you're drunk, don't even try it. You know how protective Lewis is" Sjin warned
Sips sighed, and continued flying up through the neon bright light rings.
Minty was walking across the rough terrain and through Jaffa-Hampton to the factory, when she saw the unmoving outline of a very tall girl. It couldn't be...
"Zoey?"
"Minty! Hi!" Zoey answered. It had been months since the two had seen each other, and recently Minty had even wondered if she'd ever see the bright bubble read headed girl again.
"I didn't expect to see you here!" Smiled Minty, as she embraced one of her oldest friends "You go ahead, I'm just waiting for Kim"
"Ok!" Zoey smiled as she headed inside.
Minty stood alone, she knew Kim was already there, she just needed a moment to compose herself.
'Ok Minty, Relax. You'll be fine. Just stay cool, socialise then make your way to Sjin. Oh god, I can't do this. Maybe I should forget it? But I really like him! This is the perfect chance.' "I can do this!" Minty said aloud. She hitched up her skirt once again, and headed through the doors of the marble building.
Inside, Zoey was flying up to the top, stopping at each room to check it out.
"Ohmygosh, this place is amazing!" She sighed, delicately brushing her fingers along the ice sculptures on the freezer level.
"Oh, darn it, my ring has run out of Redstone!" She cried "I guess I'll have to wait for Minty... Unless," ... Zoey smiled as she opened a chest with 10 pieces of coal in it 'It'll last me' she thought.
As she reached the top and made her way across the penthouse, she felt very uncomfortable, as if she was being stared at. She decided to glance up, and at the most inconvenient moment. Sjin was staring straight at her. She gave him a weak closed lipped smile, and he returned it. 'He looks quite nice...' Zoey thought, deciding to glance up again. He was still looking.
Zoey eventually reached the table, and placed down her tray of vegetarian goodies in between countless plates of Jaffa's.
"Zoey." A sharp voice came from behind her. Zoey turned around to see Duncan coldly staring right at her.
Stunned that the scientist had even approached her, she just smiled back.
"Is Rythian with you?" Duncan didn't wait for a reply from her.
"Um, no, just me" Zoey smiled
Duncan raised his eyebrows, and turned around to walk back to the main crowd.
'Gosh, no, "Hi Zoey" then, I'm so unwanted here' She sighed inwardly.
"Okay, so, just go up to him with a drink and offer it to him," Sips and Minty were on the other side of the penthouse, heads close, like they did when they were young.
"Sips, you haven't spiked it, have you?" Whispered Minty
"No! Sheesh, I'm not that much of a douche!" Laughed Sips
"Ok... So just make friendly conversation? Like about dirt, or that farm he's planning?"
Sips sighed, and looked her straight in the eyes
"Minty, just be yourself," Sips smiled "Oh, and looking great by the way" He winked
Minty laughed, gave Sips a hug, and began to make her way over to Sjin.
Over by the buffet table, Hannah stood between Lewis and Duncan, not failing to block out the extremely boring conversation they were having about Redstone piping.
'Hurry up Nilesy!' She thought desperately. Hannah turned round to the table behind her, and started attempting to arrange a pretty design out of Jaffas. After 3 huge plates of cakes had been arranged into owl shapes, Hannah was snapped out of her daze by hysterical, slightly insane laughing behind her. She laughed as she saw Simon, stumbling around with two glasses, filled with the dregs of what she could only assume was "Black Stuff". 'He's so drunk!' She thought.
"Hey, sorry I'm late!" Hannah spun round. Her best friend was standing behind her.
"Typical!" She laughed
"I can't help it, business has been soaring! I've installed 2 pools this week!" Nilesy grinned. He'd made no effort to change from his usual work clothes- shirt, green tie and brown trousers. Nilesy had begun scanning the buffet table, when he saw mugs of Black Stuff.
"No, Nilesy!" Hannah grabbed his arm before he could get a mug "It's practically toxic, look at Simon, he's only had 2" He was sprawled over the floor, still laughing hysterically.
"God, what did Duncan put in that stuff?" Nilesy smirked
"Alcohol only I'm guessing!" Hannah sighed. The two laughed, and began talking about Owl Island.
'Ok... Keep it cool.' Minty was standing with Kim, not really listening to her, but adding in the occasional "Mm...", "Yeah" and "Uh-huh" when the silk kimono mini dress-clad apprentice paused. 'I need to find a way to engage him... Aha!'
"Kim, I'll be right back!" She hollered as she ran over the Kevin McLeod, the DJ controlling the jukebox.
"Kevin! Play something slow for me please!" She whispered, pulling a sparkling, blood red ruby out of her clutch.
"Oh... Yeah, sure!" Kevin placed a very old looking disk in the machine, and a slow ballroom track began to play. 'Brilliant! Now I just need to get to him before...'
Minty stopped, and stared. Sjin was already dancing, and looked very close with her. 'No, no, no! Please don't...'
Sips was wandering aimlessly around the penthouse, trying to find a girl alone that he could woo, when he felt a piece of silk abruptly brush his hand, and just as he looked up, he saw a swish of unmistakable blonde hair disappearing behind the door. Confused, he glanced towards the 'Dance floor' that had been made. And that's when he saw it.
Zoey and Sjin were still talking, about Blackrock, Sipsco, The Mushroom Prison...
And apologies, about the war, Tee's kidnap, the enmity between him and Rythian. Zoey had been taking sips out of a glass filled with unknown black liquid, and felt euphoric.
Then the music began. "Would you like to dance?" Sjin looked at her, slightly flushed, and his face kept doubling through her eyes.
"Yeah!" Zoey cried, and pulled him out to the dance floor. Sjin placed his hand on her waist, and she didn't object.
"You know," Sjin whispered "You look great tonight" Zoey smiled, and looked up at him.
"So do you," Their faces were getting closer, their foreheads pressed against each other...
As their lips locked together, millions of thoughts sped through Zoey's mind, mostly Rythian's face, switching from angry, to hurt... To crying. But she shook them all off, this felt so right.
"Mints?" Sips followed the silhouette of his childhood friend through the factory, and ended up on the balcony where the rollercoaster carrying the eggs came in. He received no reply, but knew by the heartbroken sobs that she was there. He sat next to her, put his arm round her, and just let her cry.
After she had calmed down, she choked out
"Sips, how does it feel?"
"How does what feel?" He whispered. The cool night air was blowing round them, and they were both cold, but didn't move.
"Seeing Lewis, kissing Hannah"
Sips paused. 'How does she know? There's no way, I've never told her!'
"I don't know what your-"
"Don't lie to me Sips, we grew up together, I see the way you look at her!" She cried, cutting him off. Sips drew a breath to reply, but was distracted. There was giggling coming from behind them. Both Sips and Minty turned round to see who was coming.
'Shit' Thought Sips.
Sjin and Zoey were there, hand in hand, laughing.
"Oh, gosh, I'm sorry!" Zoey giggled "We'll find somewhere else!" She went to pull Sjin's hand away, but he stayed still.
"You go, I'll catch you up" He said.
"I'll be waiting!" Zoey turned and headed towards ground floor.
"What's wrong?" Sjin asked
Sips considered answering, but he was broke off. Minty had an Archangels Smite in her hand and was pointing it straight at Sjin.
"Minty, what are you doing?" Sjin sounded worried, and was backing away, but not fast enough, because Minty had already shot 3 arrows straight at him.
Sjin dived, the arrows missing him my inches. He gave Minty a look of bewilderment mixed with anger, and headed to the bottom of the factory.
Minty seemed to whisper something into her hand, then turned back round, stayed silent for a few seconds, before breaking into a new load of soul-crushing tears.
"It feels like this, Minty" Sips whispered.
"Duncan, what are you doing?!" Hannah was shying away from Duncan; he had her arm in a tight grip.
"Hannah, just relax" His breath smelt very strongly of alcohol.
His face was nearing hers, 'Oh, crap, he's not, oh god, no, no! Quick Hannah, how can I get him off me?!"
Suddenly Duncan was on the floor, his nose streaming with blood.
"Lewis!"
Her boyfriend was standing above Duncan, and he looked furious, he had his hands clenched in fists.
Duncan was rising, and looked just as angry as Lewis.
"Oh no you don't, c'mere Space boy" Duncan took a swing at Lewis, and sent him staggering backwards.
The two collided, and all was a blur of violence.
"Stop it, both of you! Now!" Hannah screamed, clawing at the two of them. A crowd was forming around them.
"What's going on?" Strippin had pushed through most of the crowd, and had his half of his muscular body and his head poking out at Hannah.
"They're fighting, Sam, help!" Hannah cried.
Strippin effortlessly pushed through the remaining crowd, and managed to pull the two apart. Alsmiffy of the Hat films ran forward and grabbed Duncan, while Strippin held Lewis back.
"Touch my girlfriend again and your dead, Goggles" Hissed Lewis
"Try me" Duncan snapped.
The tension was broken by the sound of smashing glass, coming from one of the skylights.
Duncan, already on high alert, hissed "Rythian!"
He was right. The dark looming figure of Rythian was In the middle of the room.
"Where's Zoey and Dirt boy?" He growled. Everyone knew he didn't mean Sips. His mask was pulled up, and his cape falling behind him. His eyes were like purple fire, he looked lethal.
Everyone stayed quiet, no one had realised she and Sjin had disappeared.
"I- I saw them go downstairs" stuttered Kim. Rythian turned, and quick as a flash, sped downstairs, his Enderbane clutched in his hand.
One floor from the bottom, he stopped, and slowly advanced on the hole. Once down there, he paused, was it possible that in 2 seconds all happiness could be drained from you?
"How could you?" Rythian's voice was cracked, and he felt excruciatingly vulnerable.
Zoey looked up, and saw him. She backed off Sjin, and towards him.
"Oh gosh, Rythian," She began.
"Just forget it, Proasheck." He turned, and flew off, a single tear leaking out of his eye.
