Chapter 11 Auditions
D and Sting were currently singing and dancing along to 'La La' by The Cab. Lucy was laughing because they were being stupid. They were using funny voices and doing hilarious dance moves. Rouge was off to the side eating the forgotten pizza. To him, it looked like 3 drunken teenagers having fun and he voiced that opinion.
"Did you guys get drunk when I wasn't looking?" he called with laughter clearly in his voice. D fake gasped and held a hand to her chest.
"Rouge!" she exclaimed. "I am shocked you would insinuate such a thing! From me of all people! I mean seriously!" Her fake-huffing that followed caused Sting, Lucy and Rouge to burst out laughing. When they first got to the studio, D and Sting had practiced once, and D decided it was good enough for them to learn properly during class. After that, the group had been eating pizza, dancing and listening to music ever since. It had been almost an hour since they got there. 'La La' ended and 'Pound The Alarm' by Nicki Minaj came on. (Seems like my MP3 likes Nicki Minaj…) D and Sting began dancing in a way that was so stupid, Rouge and Lucy almost died of laughter. A few minutes later, Laki ran into the room during 'Get In Line' by Simon Curtis.
"What's going on in here?" she demanded to know. The four teens looked at her.
"Yo!" D greeted with a grin. Laki immediately relaxed.
"Oh, D, how are you?" she asked with a kind smile. Sting and Rouge were shocked. If D hadn't been there, Laki would have given them detention. That couldn't be fair! It was favoritism!
"Good," D answered. "We were just warming up for dance. I brought you some pizza. Rouge might have eaten it though."
"I didn't," Rouge denied calmly. Laki laughed.
"Continue then," she said walking over to Rouge who still had the pizza. Suddenly, 'Truth or Dare' by Marianas Trench came on.
"I love this song!" D exclaimed. Okay. Lucy was officially scared. D was way out of character today. She was actually acting like a girl… D and Sting began their funny dancing/singing again. It wasn't until 20 minutes before class started that they finally stopped when 'I Believe Evil Queen Mix' by Lily Collins was on. They cleaned up and went to change. D hadn't turned off her music so 'What Are You Waiting For?' by Gwen Stefani was playing when she came back in with Lucy. D was still wearing her uniform. "I'm making a dance for this song," D announced absentmindedly.
"Really?!" Laki shouted popping up out of nowhere. She was directly in front of D who stared at her calmly while Lucy nearly had a heart attack.
"Yeah, it's almost done, but it's not quite there yet," she answered. Laki's eyes sparkled in excitement.
"Can I see?" she asked.
"Not right now," D answered. Sting and Rouge chose then to come back in the room. Both of them were wearing t-shirts and sweatpants.
"What can't you do now?" Sting asked. Lucy's eyes widened.
"Wait…you're in this class?" she asked. Sting nodded. D laughed.
"What?" Sting growled.
"I'm not laughing at you," she chuckled. "Lucy," the girl looked at her, "didn't you hear him when he said that he didn't need his dance class?" Lucy nodded. "How about when Laki said she only had one dance class?" Lucy lowered her head in shame. "You should really learn to pay attention more."
"Yes," Lucy mumbled. D grinned. 'Turn Up The Music' by Chris Brown came on and the five people that had for some reason stayed in the doorway moved to the floor and started their dumb dancing all over again. D went to the same corner she was in last time to rest.
"Guys we need to get to the gym, or we'll be late for class," Wendy announced. Everyone agreed. They began packing up.
"Do you think D is there already?" Lisanna asked.
"Probably," Erza answered. "They left for the gym pretty early yesterday too." That was all Lisanna needed to hear. She took off for the gym at full speed with a loud:
"Last one has to eat a rotten egg!" Everyone froze.
"HEY! THAT'S CHEATING!" Natsu yelled taking off after her. Everyone followed his lead and began running as fast as they could to the gym.
When the girls finally reached the dance studio, they found their entire class having fun dancing like idiots. They looked at each other and grinned. 'Shades' from the movie 'Starstruck' was playing. (Yes, I like that movie. Leave me alone.) They quickly joined their class and began dancing. The class had made a circle and whoever was in the middle had to dance as stupidly as possible to make everyone laugh. Lisanna looked around for D. She saw the girl talking with Laki in a corner. Lisanna didn't want to interrupt their conversation and simply joined in on the fun.
The dance class was laughing when they went to "Gym". The class from the weight room stared at them. La'har tried to get them to quiet down many times to no avail.
"SHUT UP!" Erza roared. Everyone went silent. La'har cleared his throat.
"Thank you, Erza," he said. Erza nodded. "Now then, let's begin. Today we'll be learning how to escape when your opponent grabs you. Does someone want to volunteer to show how you do this?" Erza raised her hand. "Erza." The girl moved to the front of the class with La'har. While Erza demonstrated the many ways to get out of your opponents hold, D went to the locker room without anyone noticing. When she came out, she had her bag. She leaned on the wall next to La'har's office and waited. "Okay then, everyone pair up." The pairs were the same as yesterday leaving Sting and Rouge to become a pair. Lisanna had wanted to pair up with D, but her hopes deflated when she saw La'har walking over where D was. Unfortunately for Lucy, Lisanna didn't hold back at all during their sparring match. Once again, D and La'har spent the entire class working on the flaws in the school's security. D and Lucy left immediately after they finished leaving Lisanna to spar with La'har for the last five minutes of class. Why they were allowed to leave was a mystery to everyone there.
Lisanna was beyond frustrated. First D didn't come to lunch with them, there was no chance for them to talk during dance, she was talking to La'har through "Gym" and now she's talking with Lyra. Lisanna was going to cry. It was like the world was determined to keep her from meeting D. Lisanna began pouting.
"What's wrong, my merciless sparing partner?" Lucy asked causing Lisanna to look up at her.
"Why can't I meet your cousin?" Lisanna whined. Lucy laughed.
"If you want to meet her, you can sleep over with your sister, Erza, and Levy when they come over tonight," she suggested. "Though you may regret it because D will be exercising with us in the morning…If you're on a diet and come you'll drop dead according to D." Lisanna was a little worried about the last part, but she was determined to meet D. Also, a sleep over would give her more time to talk to her!
"I'll do it!" Lisanna decided. Lucy smiled at her.
"D said that those who are going need to have their stuff with them during Drama. She recommended a t-shirt and shorts," Lucy informed. Lisanna's eyes were sparkling.
"Okay!" she shouted before running out of the room to go pack. Lucy stared after her for a moment before going back to her seat between Natsu and D. D, Sting and Rouge were talking about something. The second Lucy sat down D turned to her.
"What did you just do?" she growled. Lucy gulped.
"I invited Lisanna to join us tonight," she whimpered. D sighed before turning back to Sting and Rouge. She forgot that "Lisanna" is the one who is supposed to be obsessed with her site because she never got a face to go with the name. Lucy started talking to Natsu. He was so cute. A little strange, but cute.
"Attention class!" Lyra called gaining everyone's attention. "We will now hold the vocal auditions for the play."
"I call last!" D yelled raising her hand. Sting raised his hand.
"I call to go before her," he stated.
"Before Sting," Rouge called raising his hand.
"I'll go before Rouge!" Lucy decided. Everyone blinked.
"Okay," Lyra agreed. "So, who wants to go first?" That's when the auditions began. One by one everyone entered the booth at the front of the room. Everyone sang something from a scene in 'Phantom' (this is what I will call it from now on because writing 'The Phantom of the Opera' is annoying…) At long last it was Lucy's turn. She got up and went into the recording booth. She hesitated for a moment while she thought of what to sing. Suddenly, she got an idea. She pointed at D and used one finger to tell her to come to her. D got up and went into the booth.
"What?" she whispered.
"Come here," Lucy hissed. Whispers went around the room while they watched Lucy whisper something in D's ear. D grinned and nodded. After that, D left the booth and went to ask Lyra something. Lyra nodded at whatever D had asked her. Finally, D went to the sound controls for the booth and began to play the music for the song Lucy wanted to sing.
Miss Y by Marina And The Diamonds
I feel like a substitute,
Sitting on the sideline,
Lucy pushes her right hand away from her face.
Clicking every single finger,
Waiting for the right time.
Lucy clicks her nails one by one.
I feel like a substitute,
Sitting pretty in my prime,
I'm about to play the game,
Guess I'm running out of time.
Lucy points to her wrist like she has a watch.
Drop your knees to the floor,
Lucy points to her knees then to the floor on either side of her.
Hands to the sky.
Lucy puts her hands together in front of her then separates them palms facing upwards.
Give a round of applause for,
Lucy claps her hands together directly above her head.
The great Miss Y.
Lucy holds her arms out palms up in the famous American gesture for 'I don't know'.
I walked all night 'round in the dark,
Lucy walks in place.
Just to be standing here.
She stops and points to the ground.
Only to feel like nobody,
Lucy cuts both her hands across her throat.
I'm Miss Y am I here?
Famous 'I don't know' gesture again then tilts her head.

I feel like I'm stuck inside a race,
Feel like I'm catching up,
Oh Marina! What a shame!
Puts both her hands on her face like she's shocked.
You didn't make the upper cut.
Takes hands off her face and slowly shakes her head.
I feel like I'm stuck inside a race,
Feel like I'm catching up,
Oh Marina, we're so sorry,
Puts a hand on her chest like she's sympathetic.
But you didn't make the cut.

Everyone applauded. Lucy went back to her seat. Next was Rouge. He whispered something in D's ear causing her to laugh and nod. He went into the booth and sang 'Miss Murder' by AFI.
Miss Murder
Hey Miss Murder, can I?
Hey Miss Murder, can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-oh
With just a look,
they shook
And heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look,
can break,
your heart.
The stars that pierce the sky;
He left them all behind.
We're left to wonder why
He left us all,
behind.
Hey Miss Murder, can I?
Hey Miss Murder, can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-oh (oh)
Dreams of his crash,
won't pass
Oh, how they all adored him
Beauty will last,
when spiraled
down.
The stars that mystify
He left them all behind.
And how his children cried
He left us all,
behind.
Hey Miss Murder, can I?
Hey Miss Murder, can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-oh
What's the hook, the twist
Within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it.
That the ghost you love, your ray of light
Will fizzle out,
without hope.
We're the empty set just floating through, wrapped in skin
Ever searching for what we were promised.
Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go,
but who would ever let us put our filthy hands upon it?
Hey Miss Murder, can I?
Hey Miss Murder, can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-oh
Hey Miss Murder, can I?
Hey Miss Murder, can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-oh
When he finished, D chuckled at everyone's shocked expressions. That wasn't the best song to pick, but that was what made it so funny! Especially since he sang it so well. If it wasn't for the music in the background no one would have believed it was the same song….
"Interesting choice," D praised as Rouge made his way back to his seat. Rouge smiled which made everyone go wide-eyed and Mira was about to go into matchmaking mode. Sting came up and he whispered his choice in D's ear. D looked surprised but got ready nonetheless. When Sting nodded that he was ready D started the music for 'Lovesick Fool' by The Cab.
Lovesick Fool
Who,
are you?
You're looking like a stranger
You
were once
my love and my savior
Now
I'm left
with nothing but your makeup
On my pillow
And I
can't sleep,
the pills they never helped
Tried
counting sheep,
still hurts like hell
I can't
Believe
this rose has lost its red
And its petals
Who put that rock
in your chest,
won't you tell me?
If I said
I wished you the best,
I was lying
Waking up
just brings me down (down)
Cause every morning
you are nowhere to be found (nowhere to be found)
And my bed
is half empty not half full
I'd rather live
with broken bones
Then lay here all on my own
like a lovesick fool
Like a lovesick fool
[x3]
Where'd
you go?
You said you'll never leave me
All
alone,
my heart is barely beating
Like
a ghost
you haunt me every day
that you're gone
I'm not
the same
Now something went missing
There's
a cage,
it feels like a prison
Here,
I'll stay
until you come back home (home)
Who put that rock
in your chest,
won't you tell me?
If I said
I wished you the best,
I was lying
Waking up
just brings me down (down)
Cause every morning
you are nowhere to be found (nowhere to be found)
And my bed
is half empty not half full
I'd rather live
with broken bones
Then lay here all on my own
like a lovesick fool
Am I a lovesick fool?
Or am I giving up?
Am I a lovesick fool?
Waking up
just brings me down (down)
Cause every morning
you are nowhere to be found (nowhere to be found)
Waking up
just brings me down (down)
Cause every morning
you are nowhere to be found (nowhere to be found)
And my bed
is half empty not half full
I'd rather live
with broken bones
Then lay here all on my own
like a lovesick fool
Like a lovesick fool[x3]
When he finished, the class erupted into cheers. Some girls had tears in their eyes. Sting had sung beautifully. D was slightly impressed. Sting came out of the booth. D smiled at him.
"Well, what do you know? You actually have some talent," D praised. Sting didn't know whether to be flattered or insulted so he simply smiled back and said nothing. He went back to his seat and it was finally D's turn. D sighed in defeat before waving Lyra over. They whispered to each other for a minute and then D went into the booth. When D nodded, Lyra started the music for 'Really Don't Care' by Demi Lovato featuring Cher Lloyd. The dance class immediately recognized the song and sang along.
Really Don't Care
(feat. Cher Lloyd)
You wanna play, you wanna stay, you wanna have it all
You started messing with my head until I hit a wall
Maybe I shoulda known, maybe I shoulda known
That you would walk, you would walk out the door, hey!
Said we were done, then met someone and rubbed it in my face
Cut to the part, she broke your heart, and then she ran away
I guess you shoulda known, I guess you shoulda known
That I would talk, I would talk
But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh, oh, oh I really don't care
Even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh, oh, oh I really don't care
Oh, oh, oh I really don't care
I can't believe I ever stayed up writing songs about you
You don't deserve to know the way I used to think about you
Oh no not anymore, oh no not anymore
You had your shot, had your shot, but you let go
Now if we meet out on the street I won't be running scared
I'll walk right up to you and put one finger in the air
And make you understand, and make you understand
You had your chance, had your chance
But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh, oh, oh I really don't care
Even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh, oh, oh I really don't care
Oh, oh, oh I really don't care
D's voice changed to the point that it sounded like someone else was singing for Cher Lloyd's part.
Yeah, listen up
Hey, hey, never look back,
Dumb struck boy, ego attack
Look boy, why you so mad
Second guessin', but shoulda hit that
Hey Demi, you picked the wrong lover
Shoulda picked that one, he's cuter than the other
I just wanna laugh, cause you're tryna be a hipster
Kick it to the curb, take a Polaroid picture
But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh, oh, oh I really don't care
Even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh, oh, oh I really don't care
Oh, oh, oh I really don't care
As D finished, everyone burst into a ridiculously loud applause.
"Everyone quiet! QUIET!" Lyra shouted. The class fell into a hush. "That concludes today's vocal audition."
"WAIT!" Lucy shouted. Everyone turned to her. "Since D and Sting are the only ones auditioning for Christine and Raoul, I think we should hear how they sound together." Everyone immediately agreed while D and Sting glared at Lucy. Lyra nodded.
"I agree. Sting, D, if you would, please," she said gesturing to the booth. D didn't even get a chance to leave the booth. Sting joined D in the booth and they argued for a while until they finally picked a song. They chose 'Push Push' by Kat Deluna featuring Akon. They told Lyra their choice and, without anyone noticing, Lyra tuned the mics into the PA system so they would be broadcasted throughout the entire school when she started the song. As D and Sting sung, people gathered outside the room and watched D and Sting through the window into the booth.
"Push Push"
(feat. Akon)
[D] [Sting]

Take it to the limit
Ooh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh[4x]
When they finished, everyone cheered alerting D and Sting to the crowd behind them. D and Sting went back to their seats and the crowd dispersed. D was clearly upset about something.
"What's wrong?" Lucy asked. D looked at her and motioned for her to come closer. She whispered her answer in the girl's ear.
"We're standing out even more now. If we get any closer to these people, we might have to leave." D pulled back. Lucy looked confused.
"Isn't it just because you're famous? No one really notices me," Lucy whispered back a little louder. She sounded depressed. D blinked.
"I notice you," Natsu suddenly said, interrupting their conversation. Lucy turned a deep pink. D's eyes narrowed and she turned to Natsu with a glare.
"Oi!" D stated. "Don't eavesdrop on other peoples conversations."
"Sorry, but I heard Lucy say no one notices her and thought that I should say something," Natsu defended. Lucy smiled at him.
"I appreciate that," Lucy thanked him with a smile. Natsu blushed a little, but he kept his signature grin on.
"I just wanted you to know you're seen," Natsu added. Lucy blushed. D grabbed Lucy's ear and yanked her closer.
"What did I say about you and that boy?!" she hissed almost inaudibly. Lucy went completely scarlet.
-FLASHBACK-
"LUCY!" D's outraged scream came. Lucy's eyes widened, and she ran after D with a panicked:
"I'm coming!" When Lucy caught up to D, the girl full on glared at her. "Wh-what?" D grabbed Lucy's hand and dragged her to a secluded space outside where no one would overhear them.
"Are you insane? Or do you really want to die?" she hissed quietly. Even if they were away from everyone they could still be overheard if they weren't careful Lucy's eyes widened in panic.
"What are you talking about?" she whispered back. D glared at her.
"Don't play dumb," she growled. "I'm talking about the pink-head." Now Lucy was confused.
"What about him?" she asked. D rolled her eyes.
"He likes you," she stated. Lucy's jaw dropped.
"W-w-w-w-what?!" she exclaimed her head turning an interesting shade of pink.
"Don't fall for him," came D's immediate response. Lucy's face got a shade darker. D groaned. "Please, tell me you didn't already fall for him." Lucy's face got even darker as she shook her head.
"S-stop! T-this is em-embarrassing! I-I don't know how I f-fell. I-I mean, I just met him yesterday," Lucy stuttered.
"Fell? You mean you already fell for him?" D accused with a glare.
"N-no!" Lucy denied. "I meant feel! Feel! I don't know how I feel!" D stared at her for a minute.
"If you fall for him, no matter what, you can't date him," D informed her.
"W-why?" Lucy asked incredulously. D nearly hit her.
"Didn't we already go over this?" D sighed. "I said it yesterday. 'These people have popular stamped all over them. Do you want to call all this attention to us? Do you want to be found?'" That's when Lucy remembered. They weren't suppose to be getting close to these people. They were supposed to be inconspicuous. Yet, they were getting comfortable in a group of famous rich people. D might have been more involved with them, but she was keeping them at arms distance…or what she thinks is arms distance. No one has ever been truly close to her. Not even Lucy. Granted, Lucy was closer than most people, but she was still far from D's heart. Why was Lucy thinking about this right now?! They were talking about her relationship with Natsu! Wait! What relationship?! She only just met the guy!
"ARGH!" Lucy exclaimed pulling on her hair. D had remained silent while Lucy was lost in her thoughts. She simply chose to watch the interesting change of expressions passing over her face.
"Are you okay?" D asked with an amused chuckle. Lucy looked at her.
"Fine," she whispered. "I understand. I'll be more careful not to get attached from now on." D smiled.
"Good girl," she praised before turning on her heel. "Now let's go."
-END FLASHBACK-
"Are you okay?" Natsu asked dragging Lucy of her memory.
"Yeah," she answered. "Just remembered something." She gave D a 'don't worry' smile and D nodded eyes narrowed suspiciously before turning to Sting to talk about how they sounded together.
"Oh, okay," Natsu said with a grin. Lucy and Natsu spent the rest of the class period talking and getting to know each other.
"Okay everyone!" Aries yelled. "It's time for the stage auditions. Sting, D, you go first." Sting and D groaned before getting up and moving onto the stage. "You will be doing the scene where Christine and Raoul are climbing the stairs after the Phantom kills Joseph." Aries went to set up the music for the scene.
"Do you think it's just a coincidence that we have to sing again?" Sting asked as Lyra attached a mic to his shirt. D looked at him, Laki attaching hers.
"Of course not," she answered. The two teachers left the stage.
"Begin!" Aries shouted as the music began to play. D and Sting faced each other and began to sing.
"Why have you brought me here?" Sting sang.
"We can't go back there," D sang back.
"We must return."
"He'll kill you. His eyes will find us there."
"Christine, don't say that."
"Those eyes, that burn."
"Don't even think it."
"If he has to kill a thousand men."
"Forget this waking nightmare."
"The Phantom of the Opera will kill and kill again."
"This Phantom is a fable. Believe me. There is no Phantom of the Opera."
"My God, who is this man?"
"My God, who is this man?"
"Who hunts to kill?"
"This mask of death."
"I can't escape from him."
"Whose is this voice you hear."
"I never will."
"With every breath."
"And in this labyrinth, where night is blind. The Phantom of the Opera is there/here inside your/my mind," they sang together. They stopped and turned to their audience who immediately began to applaud.
"Looks like they liked it," D chuckled. Sting nodded. They went back to their seats. D immediately put on her headphones and decided to spend the rest of the class period sketching instead of watching the auditions. She was sketching the costumes and she was currently working on her own. It still needed a bit of work until it was perfect. While she was working, she would be dead to the world around her.
"Class dismissed," Aries yelled.
"Let's go," D told Lucy. The pair started for the doors.
"D, wait for us!" Levy called. D's eyes widened when she saw Levy, Mira and Erza coming towards them with over-night bags.
"You didn't chicken out?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"No way! We have to get stronger!" Levy declared. Mira and Erza nodded in agreement. D smirked.
"Okay then, let's go," she decided. They headed out the door and down the hall.
"Wait for me!" a voice shouted. They turned to see Lisanna running down the hall with an over-night bag.
"Who are you?" D called. Lisanna ran up to D and immediately got in her face.
"Hi,D.I'mLisannaStrauss.I'mMiraandElfman'slittlesister.I'mahugefanofyours," Lisanna kept rambling to the point that no one could understand her. D kept backing up, but Lisanna was with her and refused to let much space between them. D's eyes were wide behind her sunglasses. When her back was about to hit the doors, D finally slapped the girl sending her to the floor. D gasped like she had been suffocated with one hand on her chest. Everyone else was frozen in place just staring at the two.
"Are you okay?" Lucy asked suddenly beside her cousin.
"Fan-girls are scary," was all D said. Lucy laughed.
"Lisanna! Are you okay?" Mira exclaimed unfreezing.
"Did you have to hit her so hard?" Erza accused. D, now calm, gave Lisanna a look of complete disinterest.
"Oops," she said. Everyone stared at her in shock.
"It's okay," Lisanna finally spoke. "It was my fault." The girl stood up with her left cheek a painful-looking shade of red. "I'm Lisanna. Nice to meet you, D." She held out her hand.
Lisanna must be remembering the warning in the bio that says 'If you get in D's face, she will hit you,' Levy thought with a giggle.
"What's so funny?" Erza snapped.
"Nothing!" Levy yelled. D stared at Lisanna for a moment before sighing and holding out her hand.
"Let's gets some ice on that," she offered. Lisanna took D's offered hand. "Come on all of you. Let's go." She began walking away leading Lisanna who was holding her cheek. Lucy grabbed Lisanna's forgotten bag and followed after them with Erza, Mira and Levy.
"WHY ARE YOU HERE BEFORE US AGAIN?!" Lucy yelled. Sting and Rouge were standing outside D and Lucy's door once again.
"Hey," D greeted like Lucy hadn't spoken. She opened the door as the boys nodded at her. Once inside, she immediately led a gaping Lisanna to the kitchen.
"Wasn't this place pink?" she exclaimed.
"Disgusting is what it was," D stated while everyone filed into her dorm room. Once D got Lisanna's face iced, she kicked the girl out of the kitchen. Everyone stood awkwardly in the living room until Sting went into the kitchen. Everyone followed him. D was rummaging through the fridge.
"Hey D," Sting began causing D to turn around and close the fridge. "What are all these people doing here?"
"We're having a sleepover, so we can train with D in the morning," Mira answered cheerfully.
"So what were you girls planning on doing? Watching sappy movies?" Sting snickered.
"I don't know what they're doing, but I'm having a Bruce Willis Movie Marathon!" D exclaimed with an overly-happy grin. Lucy gasped and exclaimed:
"So that's why you were acting weird all day! You were excited about your stupid action movies!" Sting and D glared at her.
"Bruce Willis action movies are not stupid," they all but growled. The pair then went off on how awesome 'Die Hard' alone is and how every time Bruce Willis is in an action movie it's totally badass.
"Okay, okay," Lucy shouted trying to get them to stop. "I get it! I'm sorry! Girls you can put your stuff in my room." The girls followed Lucy to her room and didn't come back.
"Okay boys, get out. I need to cook. Go play pool or something," D demanded. Lucy never noticed but there are two giant pool tables in the rec-room. Sting and Rouge took her advice and went to go play. "Make a mess in there and I will kill you!" D suddenly shouted from the kitchen. Sting and Rouge didn't answer as they set up the balls. "DID YOU HEAR ME!" D yelled even louder.
"YES MA'AM!" the boys yelled back. D started her music and prepared to cook spaghetti for seven people.
