Phantom (Dressed up as a western bandit)- Hey Yall, really sorry it took so long to update...

Finn (Dressed up as Cowboy)- Um...Phantom, whats with the git up?

Phantom- I just wanted to be a Bandit for one chapter...

Finn (Excited)- Wait, I'm the cowboy which means I have to hang you right?!.

Phantom- I wouldn't.

Finn- Why

(The door is kicked in)

Phantom (Scared)- Thats why!

(Phantom runs away)

Finn- What!

Phantom (While running away)- BY THE WAY I DON'T OWN ADVENTURE TIME.


Chapter 7, The Party

Later that night Ryder had woken, but locked herself in her room. They thought because she didn't like what had happened earlier. So around 4, FP and Marcy came over, and Finn told them everything that had happened.

"Whoa, Ryder really LOST IT, even worse then me," Marcy stated.

Finn glared at her, "Yeah we know that. Don't mention it, I think Ryder's pretty mad at herself about it. So could you and FP talk to her, she won't listen to me."

The girls went upstairs and about 15 minutes later Ryder came down, with red puffy eyes.

Finn walked up to his younger sister, "Hey Ry, you okay?"

The smaller girl gave a slight nod, then looked down with despair.

The older bow knelt down and smiled at his sister. The others came over and did the same. When she looked up, Ryder smiled.

"Guess I had better go change, don't want to be late for my own party, right," Ryder joked before rushing up the stairs.

Jake smiled, "Looks like Ryder is back to being, well, Ryder."

Everyone laughed at Jake's comment and after about 5 minutes later Ryder rushed down in a blood red tank top, black mini skirt, grey leggings, and black boots; and of course her hat. But most surprising no sword.

Ryder stared at her companions, "Well we going to head out or what."

Finn smirked, "Yeah, alright, but who are you trying to impress tonight. Huh, does my little sister have a wittle secrete boyfriend?" This caused Ryder to blush.

The group exited the house, riding what they did 2 days earlier, except Ryder, she rode with Jake and Finn. Only because Finn was worried about her.

Soon the group ended up back at the Candy Palace at 8. The party room was dark and as soon as Ryder walked in the lights shot on and the Candy People (and others) shouted out, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYDER!"

Ryder's face lit up with one of the biggest smiles ever, it almost seemed to take up her whole face. Everyone was smiling, and even though Ryder was happy her instinct told her otherwise

'Be careful, tonight is the night, and in his own words, 'You Can Never Be To CAREFUL'

Much to Ryder's enjoyment, the dj was at the party right away. And as an added bonus, the first song was Do it like a Dude by Jessie J.

Before hitting the dance floor, she looked around her, at her friends and 'family'; Jake was flirting with Lady, Marceline was sucking the red out of random things (and spiking the punch bowl), Finn and FP were dancing free style together, and PB was yelling at LSP for wearing a swimsuit to the party.

All of this made Ryder laugh, but then she hit the dance floor and everyone stared in amazement. You've heard of break-dancing right, well take that, and enhance it by 100 then you got what Ryder did.

Eventually people even gathered around her, and the final movement was spinning on the top of her head, causing everyone to clap and cheer for her.

After that little fiasco she went over to the drink bowl, and drank water (she knew what Marcy had done not to earlier). After awhile, Ryder had grown stuffy in the ball room, not only that the song that was currently playing was Keep Your Hands Off My Girl By Good Charlotte. That song had bothered her for some reason.

As soon as she was out on the balcony, she felt the cool breeze of the night brush past he bare arms, causing her to shiver. Needless to say she loved the feeling, it calmed her.

About 5 minutes passed when she felt a hand placed on her shoulder, she froze where she stood, and slowly turned around; fearing for her life. She was relived to see it was just Finn.

"Hey Ry, what are you doing out here, the party is inside," Finn said looking it to the shorter girls eyes.

Ryder looked up, smiling, "Oh nothing really, just thinking, and getting some fresh air, you now the usual."

Finn was relived to hear his sister was fine, "So Ryder, ready to go inside, its 8:59."

Ryder nodded and the duo walked back inside the candy palace, and once again PB was up on the stage.

"People, people. Let us count down to the dropping of the balloons." The princess stated, so everyone did.

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1."

The colorful balloons dropped and shouted, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYDER!"

Amongst the yelling, an explosion was heard and the room filled with dust and ruble.

A male voice and figure was amongst, " Now, you all know how this works. Sit down, SHUT UP, and if everything goes as planed we should be out of you hair in a few minutes."


(Phantom and Finn are hiding in a closet)

Finn (whispering)- Phantom whats out there, is it the guy from the story?

Phantom (In a pink and black dress)- No its not, its WAY worse.

Finn- How could it be?

(The door to the closest is kicked open. It revels a boy with Light blue eyes and hair, and pale skin, wearing a black dress shirt and pants, with lime green converse on)

Boy- Hey Phantom

Phantom-...

Finn- Who are you?

Boy- I should be asking the same thing

Finn- SO!

(Phantom runs into her room, with her keybaord and locks the door)

Boy- Oh great, by the way REVIEW.
