A/N: Thank you, Thank you for the reviews. As a reward, you get an extra chapter today. Remember reviews make a happy writer, so more chapters for you. Keep up the good work reading and reviewing. Not to be obnoxious and soap-boxy, but if you're gonna drink don't drive. I gotta say that considering last chapter and this one. The boys needed girls with imperfections not perfect little angels. That just wouldn't be fun. I gotta thank lunar kitsune terror for help with Reid and Tyler in this chapter. Hope y'all enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own The Covenant or "Burn It To The Ground" by Nickelback (I've seriously listened to this song 60 times writing this chapter lol)

Chapter 7: Burn It To The Ground

Ondine's POV

"Well, well girls seems my friends are being dumbasses. Like normal," Pogue commented, giving me a sly wink.

"Yeah, they're slightly dense," I replied, scowling in Tyler's direction. Stupid, oblivious boy.

Tyler and Reid had decided it was about time to go lighten up Aaron's wallet before Leona came over and wiped him out completely. Naturally, this meant us girls were sitting here bored out of our mind. Bad idea boys. Caleb and Sarah had fled to the backroom to play foosball, I thought. Sarah was practically scared shitless by Leona. It worked for Cybele and me seeing as we couldn't stand her either.

"Okay, Leona told me about a little game I might want to consider. Seeing as it involves complete and utter embarrassment for the boys. Reid deserves a little payback, and Tyler could learn how to lighten up. You all in?" he asked, his eyes actually twinkling with excitement.

"Hell yeah!" screamed Leona.

The rest of us erupted in similar cheers. I was glad Nicky's was so crowded that no one could really here us above all the noise.

"So how much we betting?" I asked.

"My kind of girl. I say 50 bucks a guy. Let's keep it cheap this time," he agreed, giving me a wink.

"So what are we actually doing, and what are the rules?" Cybele questioned.

Alena began laughing uncontrollably. Leona's face lit up with her classic wicked grin. I hid my face behind my hands. Oh no, Leona's favorite game, and most people's greatest embarrassment, but hey, it was always fun.

"Lee, you aren't thinking what I think you're thinking?" I remarked.

"Hell yeah. I am."

"Uh girls, what do you have in mind exactly?" Pogue asked, looking kind of frightened.

"Pantsies!" shouted Leona.

"Do I even want to know what that is?"

"Basically, the big objective is to de-pants a guy before they realize it. Knowing Lee, she just twisted it, so we could bet," I added for his confusion.

"Yeah, I twisted it for gambling. We're going to bet on the guys and their underwear preferences. Whoever guesses right wins the pot. The trick is to get them before they realize, and you can't cheat and have them willingly do it. Al," Lee spoke at Al, her words slightly slurred.

Damn it, Caleb. I just met you , and already I am annoyed at you.

"Okay, I'm in. I've never played this game with a bunch of girls and/or betting on my friends, but there's a first time for everything," he commented, gulping the rest of his Coke down.

"Alright I say Tyler first," I suggested, thrilled at an excuse to annoy him.

"Um I'm betting briefs. Baby Boy seems just that. A boy." Pogue slammed the money down on the table smiling again.

"Sorry, Di, I gotta agree with Shaggy," said Lee placing her money on top.

"Shaggy, really?" questioned Pogue, giving her this odd look.

"Briefs," shouted Al and Cyb at the same time slamming down their money.

"Nah, Ty's boxers. I bet double on that, but cute and slightly childish I'll give you," I spoke placing an extra $50 on the table.

"Knowing Reid, we gotta hit 'em at the same time. That is if we want this to work. Okay bets on Reid. I'm thinking he's one we don't want to play this game with, so I'm saying commando. God, he can't cover his ass in the locker room. I doubt he can with clothes either. That is an image I want to burn out of my head. Permanently," Pogue grimaced while Al blushed a rosy red.

"He's got to have something on. I'm going with boxers," Al volunteered.

"Commando," Lee, Cyb, and me shouted watching her squirm.

"I'll distract Tyler. Cyb, you come from behind and reveal the winner," I suggested.

"Got it, sis," Cyb agreed, easing up out of her chair.

"Al will distract Reid while I unmask his dirty secrets. Al and Di make sure they're facing away from each other, or one of them will catch on," Lee commanded her troops. Sometimes she was just like a general only with a slight slur tonight.

As everyone got up and headed towards the pool table, I turned to talk to Pogue, "How much has she had?"

"I'd say a fistful of whiskey." The thick, husky voice Lee was already addicted to answered.

"Caleb, man. You came at the right time. Reid and Tyler are about to get punked in the worst way." Pogue chuckled, looking around nervously.

"Where's Sarah?" I asked the question both Pogue and I had to be thinking.

"Uh, she decided to go home early, but I have to stay since I drove Reid and Tyler," he responded.

Tension seemed to have eased from his body with Sarah's removal.

I watched him eye Leona curiously. It kind of made my heart break to see the distance he could easily break. He and Cybele had more in common than I thought. They were stubborn and always refused to see what was right in front of them. Leona was begging Caleb to give in for once in his life and take a chance. Cybele didn't see the hunk, known as Pogue, waiting for someone to heal his freshly broken heart. Water was always a trouble maker, but maybe a matchmaker, too.

I walked over to Tyler as he aimed up to take a shot. Cybele was standing behind him waiting for my move. Walking behind him, I grabbed the pool stick from him before he could complete his shot. He turned to stare at me, confused by what I was doing. I grabbed hold of his head my hands cradling his baby face. My eyes looked into his matching baby blues and began to bring his face closer to mine. His eyelids fluttered closed. Nervousness and anxiety rolled off him in overwhelming plumes. His lips had barely touched mine as his eyelids sprang open. He looked down quickly to see his jeans at his ankles. I glanced down to see he was sporting a pair of royal blue boxers with the cutest rubber duckies on them. A brilliant red blush crept over his face, and I sprung up on my tip toes to kiss him gently on the forehead. He smiled at me before reaching down to pull his jeans back up to his waist.

"How much did you win?" he asked, the red still staining his pale face.

"Let's see 50 from Cyb, 50 from Al, 50 from Lee, and 50 from Pogue, so Baby Boy you just won me $200," I replied, a huge smile bursting across my face.

"Well let's go back over to Pogue and Caleb, and watch Reid get punked. It's only fair," he suggested.

I liked how he thought. We took a seat next to Caleb. This time I sat on Tyler's lap. He needed some of his manhood back. I collected the $200 I had just won plus my original $100 and stuffed it in my bra. Ty watched me, interested by my choice in wallet. We turned back to watch the show.

Alena was standing so close to Reid that you could tell he wasn't even breathing. She moved her long slender hands to his hair removing his black cap and throwing it across the room. You could tell he felt her take it off and had every desire to see where it landed, but Al just entwined her hands in his now exposed pale blonde hair. Despite her tight leather skirt, she managed to hook her leg against his. He shivered involuntarily as Alena the seductress brought her mouth closer to his neck. Al moved her leg just as Lee yanked down on his cargo pants. Leona was met with a disturbing sight. Instead of boxers or briefs, she came face to face with Reid's white ass. On the plus side, she won the bet, but I think the sight was probably more horrendous. Al couldn't bring herself to look down to see if she won. Reid seemed as comfortable as could be despite missing his pants.

"Well I guess you were right. We didn't want to play this game with Reid," I choked out through my laughter.

I watched as Lee was forced to pull Reid's cargos up for him rather than have poor Alena faint. I grabbed another $50 bucks claiming my full prize money. Al frantically walked back to the table her hands covering her eyes. She cowered in an empty chair, not looking up from the ground once. I watched as Lee and Reid began a practice game before she would no doubt take on Aaron and give him the shock of his life. A girl who could kick his ass at pool. Worst case, a girl who could just plain kick his ass.

"I think I'm scarred for life," Al muttered out.

"Yeah we know how you feel..." spoke Caleb.

"...On a daily basis," Pogue finished.

I turned to eye Tyler carefully. "Ty, do you know how to dance?"

"Um I guess."

"Good. You and I are gonna dance. Then, we're gonna go watch our buddies play some pool," I commanded, feeling the surge of power that Leona must be so fond of.

I heard "Burn It To The Ground" begin playing loud from the jukebox. The song always reminded me of Leona. The devil-may-care attitude and just plain feeling of being a badass the song seemed to proclaim. I dragged Tyler to the dance floor that Caleb and Leona had danced on earlier with talent. I had no intention of following any pattern. I was being Water. Completely and totally unpredictable and irrational.

Well, it's midnight, damn right, we're wound up too tight
I've got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me
Oh, that shit makes me bat shit crazy.
We've got no fear, no doubt, all in balls out.

I found myself throwing my body around in uncoordinated fashion. My hair flailing in uncontrollable waves of frenzy. Tyler watched me. He was attempting to get by with a simple two-step back and forth. Hell no. I grabbed him at the shoulders helping him to find the rhythm. I watched from afar as Lee glanced at Caleb before draining a shot of something. I could tell she was getting wound up, and it wouldn't be long before she started a fight with somebody. I didn't care. I was in one of those kind of moods where that was exactly what I wanted to do.

We're going off tonight to kick out every light
Take everything we want, drink everything in sight
We're going 'til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight.

I continued my erratic and frantic dancing around the dance floor, dragging Tyler along for the ride on the tidal wave of my dancing. I had to give him credit he didn't try to control a tidal wave. He would ride the wave to the shore like the pro surfer. I continued to watch through the corner of my eye as Caleb stared at Lee. She looked like she was about to burn out the last candle, but that was her ploy to draw the gullible in.

We're screaming like demons, swinging from the ceiling
I got a fist full of fifties, tequila just hit me
Oh, we got no class, no taste, no shirt, and shit-faced
We got it lined up, shot down, firing back straight crown.

A sudden burst of energy and confidence burst through me as I began to scream along with the words of the song. Tyler just stared at me with amusement. I tossed him a fifty. My subtle hint to man up and take me out, but he just stared at it, confused. By now, Cyb had migrated over to Lee's little private party. She drained another shot like Lee and grabbed a pool stick. Tyler and me both watched as Aaron grabbed a pool stick for himself. He had bought it hook, line, and sinker. He had no idea Cybele and Leona were going to take him for all he was worth.

We're going off tonight to kick out every light
Take everything we want, drink everything in sight
We're going 'til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight.

I started dancing closer and closer to Tyler. He kept backing up not sure how to anticipate my next move. My body kept edging closer and closer. Al, who had finally emerged from behind her hands, got the idea and turned a chair towards Tyler. When I was only an inch from him, I backed up enough to give him a gentle kick in the chest with my foot and left him staring as Al and I walked over to the pool table. A huge smile lit up my face as we walked away from the table. Time for some good ol' fashioned trouble with the girls.

"I'll never understand women," Tyler muttered as I walked away.

"Baby Boy, you have to understand girls first," Caleb jested as Pogue patted Ty on the back.

We're going 'til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight.

Those lines repeated over and over again in my head. When we reached the pool table, Lee looked up at me, and immediately I knew. We were gonna have a hell of a good time tonight.

A/N: Wow, I'm cranked out another chapter in the same day. Your favorite female kind of seems to be all over the place, so I'll try to give them all more time. Next chapter will probably be Leona or Cybele. I'm not sure yet. I really suggest listening to the song cuz it really captures what these girls are like compared to the boys. Next chapter will be based off of the song "Bodies" by Drowning Pool. It will be added to the playlist as well. As always, read and review.
