A/N: I am so so so so sorry. Words cannot express how deeply I apologize to all of you. You have been such faithful readers and I have been a crappy author in return. As well all know, sometime life just happens. I got sick and then I traveled back home for graduation. Needless to say, free time was not very plentiful. I know this chapter was a little short but I promise to have another up and ready for you within the next few days. Without further bullshitting, here is the start to the actual story!
The man at the door checked their IDs before directing them into a line to get their hands stamped. Strangely, they were all given the stamps to drink, the bouncer explaining that the club viewed DWMA students (with valid school IDs, of course) as US military, thus giving them the ability to drink at a lower age when in their "base's" town.
As soon as they entered the room, the crowd amazed her. Liz led them in something called a "hot lap", in which the group toured the club one quick time, providing them the opportunity to locate the restrooms and view the people they would be spending the rest of the night with.
The giant dance floor consumed the entire middle half of the room. The back wall was filled with giant TV's that played the music videos of the songs chosen by the DJ. The remaining walls were covered in large bars packed with people trying to order drinks. The group found a small elevated section towards the front of the dance floor that allowed those on top the get a bird's-eye-view of the dancing crowd.
Maka blushed while looking down on the club, noticing how intensely these people were dancing. The entire floor was packed; each dancer's personal space was consumed by another person, either dancing on or next to them. This was not what she had expected at all. Liz and patty squealed with delight as they grabbed the hands of those nearest them.
"The song is about to change, we need to find a spot!" Liz and Black*Star grabbed both of Tsubaki's hands and pulled her forward. Patty reached for me and Kid, keeping the meisters close to the three in front of them. Without warning they were pulled into the middle of the dance floor, immediately being squished be other groups.
The experienced clubbers in the group found a small hole, knowing how to best maneuver the crowd. They formed a small circle and stood motionless.
"Do any of you even know how to dance?" The younger sister asked, amazed. Three heads shook their reply.
"We've never been clubbing before. How would we know?" Liz smiled before replying.
"It's really not that hard. Watch us…" Patty stepped in front of her sister and smiled.
"If you're the girl, you just move your body to the music and the guys just hold onto the hips (or anywhere, depending on the girl) and follow her rhythm."
She paused, looking at each of the teens in front of her. "Even if you dance alone, you do the same thing until someone comes up and starts dancing with you. Well show you. Kid, you'll follow me and Patty will demonstrate what you ladies are supposed to do."
The two sisters started moving, Liz grabbing Patty's hips and moving to the same beat. Patty rocked her lower half, fitting the flow of the song perfectly.
"Just have fun with it" Liz suggested as the two continued dancing, "There's really no wrong way to do it."
"You know you're doing a good job when you can feel something poke you." Patty added with a wink and smile towards their friends.
It was then that two very handsome and extremely built brothers appeared in front of the sisters.
"Oooh, ladies! I like what you've got going on there. How about you come over with us and share some of that fun?"
Liz gave us a quick wink before she took the man's extended hand and allowed herself to be led a little further from the group; Patty and the other man following close behind. Tsubaki and Maka stared at each other, terrified after seeing what was expected of them.
Black*Star spoke to our now smaller group. "I'm going to grab a drink. Does anyone want anything?"
Maka thought instantly of the warning issued to her by Soul before her departure from the limo, but smiled, knowing it was her own friends getting the beverages for her. The two girls nodded.
"I'll go with you...to help carry everything." Kid added, obviously just looking for a reason to leave the busy floor. The two girls stood awkwardly for a few minutes before Maka spoke.
"Why don't we just try it? I mean, look at how fast it worked for Liz and patty. If we want to be successful tonight, then we've got to start working." Tsubaki nodded.
"Alright, I guess….if you will, I will too."
A deep breath was taken by both girls before they started mirroring the movements of those around them. Luckily they were surrounded by better, more experienced dancers, so they were never bothered by the needy guys. They let the music take over, swaying their hips to the beat and letting the alcohol control their motions.
The two danced across from each other, sharing a smile at how much easier it was than it looked. Maka met Liz's eyes from across the floor as she continued grinding on the attractive man. She gave the miester double thumbs up before returning her full attention to her dancing partner.
The boys soon returned, drinks in hand, shocked to find the two dancing. The girls took the drinks excitedly and chugged them, ready to get back to their now confident dancing skills.
A/N: Alright, I know it's still not fluffy yet, but big things are happening very soon and I wanted to make sure I could get it all in without making it a super massive chapter. As said before, I promise I will update sooner (and on a more regular basis). As always, I trade a review on my story for a review on yours! Please add any suggestions or ideas you may have for the later chapters. I have most of it written, but I'm always up for changes! Now to my amazing reviewers:
icequeen89: I feel like brave Maka would be a little tired of the way he treats her. Really…it's like he's been asking for it =)
FantasyForever310: I was soma when I watched the anime too…then I read the manga and transitioned. Just wait until the later chapters, I, in no way, plan on making underage drinking look like fun later on. Just because they're kids doesn't mean they're not going to experience the joy of hangovers =)
Giraffelover01: I love your name. Remind me so much of Patty!
InLoveWithDeaththeKid: Thank you! I hope these future chapter don't disappoint!
8fangirl8: I fell like Kid could pull it off though…just picture it. *Sigh* True beauty. But to the point: Thank you, you have no clue how warm and fuzzy your review made me feel inside. I owe you one big time!
GreenEmeraldGirl: I feel kind of bad for him too…especially in some later chapters ^_- Just wait…
DeaththeKidKat: Your review really helped pull me out of my funk. After reading it, along with the one from 8fangirl8, I was reminded why I started writing in the first place. I really can't thank you enough! And I read your fanfic ideas…please write the SE/FMA fic. It sounds soooo good!
Live-Laugh-Love-Til-The-End: Thank you for the review. I hope you're still sticking with me! =)
Animegirl721: Your Kid scene made me laugh so hard! How you could kick him out of a room amazes me…I would totally just fangirl hardcore =) But thanks for the encouragement!
KraZieePyrozHavemoreFun: Haha, nice name! I hope interesting is good….?
