All right people, let's get our party on! This chapter will be longer than the last one, and ripe with drama. Read and review!

"Lil'D, do come in," Eddie said, gesturing to his house. Once inside, Lil'D offered a wrapped box to his friend. Eddie thanked him and handed him a suit, folded up. Seeing Lil'D's face, he explained, "You don't need to wear the while thing - just enough so you're recognizable as assistant bouncer."
Lil'D nodded and went to change. Sulu approached Eddie in full uniform as usual.
"Master Eddie," He said. "With all due respect, do you think it wise to make this...delinquent...the one in charge of the official decisions as to who gets in to your soirée?"
Eddie smiled softly. "I trust Lil'D, Sulu. You should too."
"Yes, but..."
The doorbell rang.
"Why don't you go get that, Sulu?"
He sighed. "Yes, Master Eddie." He turned back. "Oh, and sir-"
"Yes?"
"Happy birthday."
Eddie smiled to himself then turned to the mirror to quickly smooth down his hair. Kim and Kam entered, carrying a huge present.
"Here you go!" Kim said brightly.
"Now take it - before our arms fall off!" Kam groaned. Sulu appeared to lift the package with one hand and walk away silently.
Eddie smiled at his friends. "Welcome, friends! Might I say, Kim, that your outfit looks especially baggy today."
"Thank you, I try." Dressed in light blue bell bottoms that bagged at the hem and a cut Tshirt that hung off one shoulder and exposed her midriff, Kim was dressed to impress, as usual. Behind her, Kam shot daggers at Eddie through his eyes, mouthing threats. Eddie only smiled and nodded, knowing that Kam could/would never follow through with it.
Ignoring them, Lil'D turned to Kim. "So, why are you here so early? Party don't start till 7."
She smiled excitedly. "Eddie asked me to DJ the party. Isn't that awesome? I'll be turning tables all night!"
Lil'D raised his eyebrows. "All night? Dang, I couldn't go for that long!"
She shrugged. "There are some playlists recorded for when I get tired. But yeah, most of the night I'll be up here."
He nodded. "Yeah, same with me and this assistant bouncer gig."
Kim smiled ruefully. "Guess we won't get to hang out much. And you're the best dancer!"
"True, but my friends are even better. I think you met them once - Troy, Mickey, and AJ?"
"I remember them. They were cool. Mickey and
I still text sometimes."
Lil'D raised his eyebrows. "He didn't tell me that - But he did say there was a cute shorty he was into. Maybe that's you!"
She made a face. "I don't like him like that. He's a friend, that's all."
Somewhere in the house, a clock struck seven o-clock. Immediately a knocking came and Lil'D ran to perform his duties. Kim continued setting up her equipment, having Kam do all the heavy lifting of course. Eddie greeted his guests with grace and kindness and soon the party was in full throttle. Kim was the goddess of the turn tables and Lil'D kept the wannabes out of the party, sometimes calling in Eddie for a decision. After 9, Sulu retired to his room, which was somewhere in the North-East wing. Lil'D was now in charge of the door.
Luckily, most guests had arrived and he was free to enjoy the party. Kim was spinning techno-dance music and the crowd was loving it. Tamika was dancing with Eddie and he seemed quite relaxed. In fact, they were grinning and laughing with each other, no awkwardness at all! Kam and Philly Phil were attempting the robot between talking and popping Cheetos. Lil'D craned his neck to see Madison, dressed in a gorgeous purple wrap dress, hair bouncing through the air (among other things). Lil'D smiled with anticipation until he saw who the smile was directed to. Dirk Fleming, star of every school musical, blonde and tan, was dancing with Madison, his tight shirt showing off his swelling biceps and six pack. Lil'D shuddered. He squared his shoulders and walked into the crowd.
Then the doorbell rang.
"Why now?" Lil'D muttered to himself. He opened the door and gasped. Mickey, Troy, AJ, and a couple other boys Lil'D knew vaguely stood at the stoop.
"Lil'D! My man!" AJ exclaimed. "Thanks for the tip, this party is jamming!"
He and the others began to step inside, but Lil'D stuck out a hand to stop them.
Mickey pouted. "Yo man, what's the big idea? I got plans for tonight!"
Lil'D shook his finger. "No invite, no enter. Sorry."
Troy slung an arm around Lil'D. "Dude, this house must hold a thousand people. Are five extra really going to matter? What could it hurt?"
"Well..."
"This party is slacking, and when have we ever not made a party awesome?"
"Well..."
"Exactly! So we'll catch up later, ok?" The boys filed in one by one. Lil'D counted them silently. His friends plus the two others - Sammy, a quiet boy who had probably been dragged here against his will, and Tyrese, a mean looking bloke who gave Lil'D a flash of the finger before mixing in with the crowd. Lil'D sighed and turned. Madison - and Dirk - were gone.
It only took an hour for chaos to break out. No one came to the door after that, and Lil'D was free to enjoy the party. Just as he was about to dance with Madison, he looked up to see Mickey and Kim goofing off at the turn tables. She danced a bit as he experimented with scratching the records. A tall burly figure sauntered over. Tyrese.
"Uh, be right back," Lil'D said to Madison distractedly. She shrugged and began dancing with Kam, to his great delight as Kim started playing a slow song. Lil'D pushed his way through the crowd of couples, one of them including Philly Phil and a curvy ballerina. He approached the trio with his brow furrowed in worry.
Tyrese had his hand on Kim's arm, tugging at her while Mickey, fuming, yelled at him. As Lil'D drew closer, he began to hear snippets of their conversation.
"Back the fuck off! This one's mine, got it?"
"Baby girl, you looking so sexy up here...why don't you come dance? Just one dance, please shorty?"
Kim smiled at Tyrese then glared at Mickey. "This one, huh?" She said through clenched teeth. She said to Tyrese, "Of course, I'd love to dance with you."
She started a playlist of dance music and allowed him to lead her to the dance floor. The music, a song by The Wanted, blasted through the house.
The two walked out onto the dance floor and began dancing. Her belly ring flashed in the light, blue-black hair flying in the strobe lights. Tyrese looked chill through it all. Lil'D decided to keep a watchful eye on the two.
A commotion could be heard from another part of the dance floor. AJ had apparently asked Tamika to dance - while Eddie had been dancing with her. The two guys were arguing loudly, attracting the attention of many. Lil'D ran to them as fast as he could.
"Woah there, break it up."
Eddie fumed, "Lil'D, please throw this guy out of my party this instant."
Lil'D saluted. "Yes, sir!" Taking AJ by the collar, he dragged him to the hall. He glared at his friend. "Dude, what were you thinking? You said you wouldn't cause trouble!"
AJ shrugged. "How was I supposed to know she wasn't just some chick rich boy was grinding on?"
Lil'D glared. "One more mess up and you're gone, clear?"
AJ smiled sweetly. "Crystal."
After Lil'D had returned to the party, Madison was long gone, although all his other friends were accounted for. Lil'D scanned the room for trouble and found none.
Kim and Tyrese were lounging by the punch bowl, her laughing at something he had just said. Eddie and Tamika were slow dancing, smiling shyly at each other. Philly Phil was sitting with the ballerina girl, checking his pocket for something. Kam was break dancing to the cheers of a crowd, brow furrowed in determination. Madison was nowhere to be seen, and neither was Dirk. Lil'D gulped, assuming the worst.
As Kim returned to her turn tables, Tyrese flipping through some records behind her, the house began to buzz with excitement and everyone's dancing. Philly Phil and the ballerina took advantage of the hub-bub to head for the guest wing of Eddie's immense mansion. Lil'D tried not to grimace in wondering what they were up to.
After a few hours, Lil'D had to leave. His mom had said to be home by one, and it was close to two. He said goodbye to his friends and checked for certain uninvited guests, also known as AJ, Tyrese, Mickey, Troy, and Sammy. After ushering a few others out, including a shirtless Philly Phil, the party was over.
Lil'D turned to Eddie, smiling. "So did you enjoy your birthday?"
Eddie lit up. "Oh, I sure did! The party was wonderful and Tamika agreed to go out to dinner with me this Saturday! Isn't it wonderful?"
Lil'D nodded with a yawn. He said goodbye and left, wondering why he never saw Madison, Dirk, Kim, or Tyrese leave.
