A/N:Firstly sorry for the delay in getting this second chapter posted.
I was reading over it and didn't like parts of it, and I am a stickler for continuity and all that, and making sure it's how I want it to be. And I am never happy with anything unless it's perfect to me.
Thank you for all the reviews and also the PM's from one reviewer, which was made me pull this up again and think I should get this on here.
Anyway here is the second chapter - but I firstly have to say something in regards to one of the guest reviewers. They asked me to move this out of the "Puckleberry" section unless it's a story with them as a couple.
For starters it is not in the "Puckleberry" section, and there is no such things as anyshipper category on fanfiction, unless people decide to use the pairing mode available when creating story. I have put in four characters in regards to a search criteria - not all stories on here are going to be "couple based", and that is not what the name selection is intended for.
However I'm guessing the guest reviwer, doesn't understand how the ability to let a person choose which characters they want to come up in regards to a search when done by a person is the writer's choice. This is also why I put in the description that Mike and Tina are also in story, in case someone does a search via the search bar and asks for those characters.
The names chosen by people for the characters does "NOT" have to be anything in regards to it being a certain 'ship' - it is merely there to advise people on which characters are present in a story.
But that is my rant over - here is the second chapter.
Again I am using no names in this chapter (although I think the descriptions speak for themselves of majority of characters - but I have to point out that both Rachel and Mikki are brunettes - so who the brunette is in this is still a question mark), however that will
be gone as of next.
There were some reviews that were correct as to who the 'two' are who have the baby...and if the mom and dad end up together, well that is something you will have to wait to find out! Because that is a secret that only me and my Furby (see my profile picture - and that
is only one of them, there are four more!) cohorts know!
Enjoy, KJ. xxxx
(And I will try and get the next chapter posted quicker)
Chapter 1 : Happy Birthday!
The music was loud and the drinks were flowing up on the penthouse level of one of New York's apartment blocks.
But why wouldn't it be, it wasn't every day someone had a birthday and it wasn't as if the parties were a regular occurrence. However when they did happen, they were definitely something to be want to be a part of. Friends of the birthday guy and friends of his friends, were all milling around the penthouse, just having a good time, letting loose in the city that rarely stopped.
"Soooo, are you my birthday present?" asked the curly haired guy going over to the brunette who was talking with her asian roommate and also his asian roommate.
The brunette looked at him as did the other two. "And what possibly makes you think that?" she asked.
"Because, it's my birthday" he replied.
"Buddy, how many drinks have you had?" asked the asian male.
"Umm..." he looked at his right hand attempting to count and then at his left one which was clutching a bottle of beer.
"It's my birthday" he said with a laugh.
"Yeah good thing tomorrow is Saturday, because you're going to be nursing one killer hangover that's for sure" said the asian female.
"Hmm" replied the curly hair guy, with a nod at her and then looked at the brunette.
"Will you be my nurse tomorrow and make sure I get better" said the curly haired guy.
"If you are hung over it's going to be your own fault birthday boy" said the brunette and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Yeah but you still like me" he replied.
"Oh most definitely" replied the brunette.
"So yeah, you can give me a birthday present later" he replied with a sly smile.
"If you play your cards right, you just might get one fantastic birthday present later" said the brunette.
"Alright" he replied, as the music on the stereo system was turned off. They were murmurs of disbelief from the crowd in the apartment, and then the sound of a microphone being connected up to it.
"Can I get everyone's attention?" asked a voice over the sound system. Everyone in the penthouse turned to look to see the third roommate standing, precariously on the couch.
"So my roomie and I have known our birthday boy here ever since we were freshman in high school. He was from a different middle school then us, and we first met him when we tried out for the football team. Now you've all seen how short he is, and that he can pretty much of probably gotten a role in the Lord of the Rings flicks if he'd auditioned, so needless to say we didn't think he'd be any good at playing football, because he wasn't built like any of the others. But man, we were wrong, turns out our little hobbit here could actually run pretty fast, so coach decided to put him on the team. And thus a beautiful bromance was born between the three of us. Little did we know that we would still be friends ten years later, living it up together in New York doing the things we love and having a bevy of beautiful women at our beck and call" said the taller roommate.
"That's you who has the women at your beck and call, we're not all players like you" said the asian male, with a laugh, which also gathered a laugh from the crowd of people listening to the speech.
"Hey hobbit doesn't too bad either for himself" said the taller guy.
"Hell yeah" replied the curly haired guy.
"Well that's because hobbits are really cute" said the brunette putting her arm around the curly haired guy.
"And clearly you're really intoxicated now too, because last time I checked hobbits had big pointy ears" said the taller guy in the direction of the brunette.
"I got a big something" said the curly haired guy with a laugh, which eluded cheers from the crowd.
"Okay, okay too much freakin' information" said the tall guy, whilst the crowd still laughed.
"Anyway buddy, happy 25th birthday, I know it's not actually until Sunday, but we are having the party tonight since I have to fly out to LA tomorrow for work" said the tall guy.
"That and so much better recovering from a hangover over the weekend" said the asian guy.
"Right, so my curly headed hobbit, here's to another fabulous freakin' year. Cheers buddy" said the tall guy raising his glass.
"Cheers" everyone else echoed, doing the same and raised their glasses or bottles.
A few hours later, the party was slowly starting to wind down and there were only a few remaining people in the apartment.
"So I'm going to go now, you haven't by any chance seen my roommate around have you?" asked the asian girl going over to the tall guy and asian penthouse owners.
"Last I saw of her, she was practically attached to the lips of my roommate, so I'm guessing they are probably either completely passed out or doing a bunch of other stuff that I don't even really want to think about" said the asian guy.
"Yeah figured as much that was where she was, she practically implied that she was going to be doing that earlier" replied the girl, as the taller guy nodded.
"You know we could barge in on them, maybe with one of our phones recording, and then threaten to put it up on one of the porn sites" said the tall guy.
"That's disgusting, we are not doing that" said the asian guy.
"Agree, just tell my roommate I will see her tomorrow when she finally manages to drag herself home" said the asian girl.
"Yeah will do" replied the asian guy. "You be right getting home on your own?" he asked her.
"Yeah, I'll call a cab, it will be fine. Thanks" she replied with a smile to him. The asian guy nodded.
"Thanks for coming" he said.
The asian girl smiled at him. "Yeah it was fun" she replied.
"Uh huh we should hang out more often" he said.
"Sure that be fun" she replied, and with another small smile, she left the apartment.
As the last of the people left, the two remaining guys, who weren't busy elsewhere doing other things, headed to bed also.
