A/N: I do not own Taco Bell.
Chapter Twelve: Curiosity & A Day Out
Back at the mall, the girls and Matt were still eating their food in the Food Court. As they were eating, Alchemy was reading a magazine she had bought earlier when she read something that made her giggle a bit.
"What's so funny?", Elyon asked.
Alchemy then showed Elyon what she was reading and couldn't help but giggle as well.
"Mind sharing with the rest of us?", Taranee asked.
Alchemy cleared her throat and began to read part of what she was reading in her magazine.
"Dear 16 to 21 Magazine. My friend, Wendy, and I were hanging with our boyfriends watching some movies at her house. One of the movies was about a guy who gets killed and brought back as a woman."
"That almost sounds familiar.", Will said with a grin.
"Ha, ha. Very funny.", Angela said as all but she and Clarissa laughed a bit.
"So after the movie I asked the boys what would they do if they were to wake up to find out that they were suddenly girls.", Alchemy continued to read the magazine.
"So what did they say?", Hay Lin asked.
"Well, they said that they would look in the mirror to see what they looked like.", Alchemy said reading the magazine.
"Done it.", Clarissa and Angela said.
"Then they said they would check below the belt to see if they were all woman."
"Done that, too.", Angela and Clarissa said.
"Then after freaking out a bit and calming down, they'd check themselves out in a mirror to see how hot they were naked.", Alchemy said reading the magazine.
"Done that, too.", Clarissa and Angela said.
"Really?", Cassidy questioned.
"Yep.", Angela said. "We had to know what we were working with."
"Oh brother.", Taranee said while rolling her eyes.
"Like none of you would do that if you were turned into guys.", Clarissa said to the girls.
"Hmmmm... Good point.", Cassidy said.
"Like none of you don't do it now.", Angela said.
"Cornelia does.", Clarissa said before eating a popper.
"How do you know this?", Matt asked.
"Oh, you're going to love this.", Angela said with a smirk.
"Well as you all know, Cornelia would spend some of her weekends with me at the palace.", Clarissa said. "Back when I was a guy and we were together that is."
"Of course.", Will said.
"Well, sometimes, she would wake up early and take a bath in the marble tub I have in my chambers.", Clarissa explained. "Of course she thought I was asleep. Anyway after her bath, she would dry off and stand in front of the full size mirror and do some poses for some reason."
"That sounds like Corny alright.", Alchemy said.
"And she'd look at her butt a lot as well as cup her breast wishing that both were bigger.", Clarissa said. "She'd then thank her bra calling it a wonder bra.", she said surprising all but Angela who Clarissa already told her about it all.
"I knew it!", Hay Lin said. "I knew she was wearing a wonder bra!"
"Hay Lin! Shhhhhh!", Elyon said.
"Oh! Sorry!", Hay Lin said in a quiter voice.
"I never would have thought Cornelia would be wearing a wonder bra.", Elyon said. "She doesn't need one."
"Well, she does.", Alchemy said. "So let's just forget about it and move on.", she said to which everyone nodded in agreement. "Unless, she goes and insults a girl about her chest size. Then, we go there with the wonder bra to shut her up."
"Whoa!", Cassidy said. "Go, Alchemy!"
"I don't want to be mean, but there are times when Cornelia can go a bit to far with insulting people about their clothes, hair styles, and other things.", Alchemy said.
"You don't have to tell us.", Will said. "She thinks she's hot stuff yet I can name some other students in school that look a lot better than she does."
"And are a lot nicer.", Hay Lin said.
"Well, one day Cornelia is going to realise how bad she's been treating her friends and be sorry.", Will said. "Hopefully, she'll still have friends to apologize to when it happens."
"On that we all agree.", Taranee said when Alchemy suddenly giggled. "What's so funny?"
"This story I was reading you all, in the magazine!", Alchemy said. "I was reading some more of it while listening to you all and read something that those guys said they'd do."
"I'm afraid to ask but what did they say?", Clarissa asked.
"They said that they'd... try to please themselves.", she said low enough for everyone to hear.
"Really!?", everyone asked.
"Really.", Alchemy said.
"Okay, wait.", Angela said. "When you say please themselves, do you mean...?", she asked while pointing downward getting a nod from Alchemy. "Wow! Ummmm... I never tried that."
"Me neither.", Clarissa said.
"Really?", Cassidy questioned. "I figured that you two would have done that by now."
"Same here.", Taranee said.
"We do have some self-control.", Clarissa said.
"Seriously!", Angela said. "Give us some credit."
"So neither of you have at least thought about trying it out?", Hay Lin asked.
"Well... I wouldn't say that.", Angela said.
"True.", Clarissa said. "The thought has crossed my mind. But I have other things on my mind."
"Same here.", Angela said.
"Well we won't judge you if you do.", Cassidy said. "It's something we ladies do.", she said getting a nod from the other girls.
"That's a little to much info, girls.", Matt said.
"I agree.", Clarissa said.
"Same here.", Angela said.
"Oh, like none of you haven't jerked off in the shower!", Cassidy said. "I've heard some boys talk in school."
"Well, yeah.", Matt said. "But you don't hear me talking about it in front of you all."
"Sorry.", Will said with a small smile. "We're just saying that if you two decide to try and please yourselves, we won't judge you.", she said to Angela and Clarissa.
"If we do, we won't be telling any of you.", Clarissa said.
"Ain't that the truth!", Angela said. "That's private."
"Suit yourselves.", Taranee said. "It's all up to you."
"But a word of advice.", Cassidy said. "Doing it while taking a bath really does you good. The warm water helps."
"Okay. No more talk about pleasing one's self.", Angela said. "I'd rather do some shopping. And that's saying a lot."
"Then let's do some more shopping.", Elyon said ready to go.
So after eating their food, the girls went back to shop for what they would need for the party on Friday. And poor Matt was dragged along to provide a guy's point of view. After they got what they needed, Taranee and Alchemy said their goodbyes and left. Matt did the same followed by Hay Lin leaving Angela, Clarissa, Will, Elyon, and Cassidy. The five of them left the mall as well and headed for their homes. Cassidy dropped Will and Elyon at their homes before driving herself, Clarissa, and Angela back to the apartment building home where they lived. Once there, Angela and Clarissa took their stuff to their apartment and put it in their bedrooms and went back down to the second floor to hang with Cassidy until it was time for dinner.
"You know something? You two could use a pedicure.", Cassidy said while looking down at Angela and Clarissa' feet. "And while we're at it, a manicure as well. Not to mention getting your hair done up a bit."
"Are you kidding me!?", Clarissa questioned.
"Actually, she had a point.", Angela said getting a surprised look from Clarissa. "We're girls now, bud. We have to do what girls do. And with the party two days away, we better get a manicure, pedicure, and get our hair done tomorrow. We can go to the salon in the mall."
"Why do I have a feeling that I'm going to be seeing a lot of that mall in the future?", Clarissa questioned with a tiring sigh.
"Might as well get use to it.", Cassidy said. "You're a girl now, Clarissa. Might as well start getting use to it."
"She has a point.", Angela said. "No matter how much we fight it, we're girls. So we better learn all that we have to so we can get through this."
"I know. I know.", Clarissa said. "I just wish that this was a very, VERY bad dream that I'd wake up from soon."
"You and me both, bud.", Angela said. "You and me both.", she said as she went through channels with the remote control looking for a channel to watch.
Later that night, after a having dinner with Angela grandparents, Uncle John, and Jun Lin in which John had to explain to Jun that Angela was his niece from another part of the country and Clarissa was Caleb's cousin who was also here for the Summer and the both girls may be here for a lot longer while Angelo and Caleb would be gone for a while visiting family, both girls along with Cassidy, said their goodnights before heading up to their apartments for the night.
"Wow! That was a close one.", Cassidy said as the three girls got up to the fourth floor of the apartment building where their apartments were. "You know, sooner or later, your uncle is going to have to tell Jun about all that we do.", she said to Angela.
"He told me that he plans telling her along with Hay Lin's parents during Winter Break.", Angela replied. "Which is months before their wedding. Hopefully, Clarissa and I will be our normal selves again."
"Here's hoping.", Clarissa said as she and Angela headed into the apartment they shared. "Goodnight, Cassidy."
"Goodnight, ladies.", Cassidy said in a teasing tone before going into her apartment laughing.
"Very funny!", Angela said. "Goodnught.", she said before closing the door. "Well, she seems to be enjoying this."
"Maybe, but at least she isn't acting like Cornelia and Irma.", Clarissa replied as she sat in the couch.
"Good point.", Angela said as she sat in one of the recliner chairs they had in the apartment. "I'll say this. I never knew that clothes shopping could be so tiring."
"You're telling me!", Clarissa said as she began to slouch on the couch. "I mean, when I was Caleb, all I had to do was tell Cornelia if she looked good or not in whatever she tried on in the stores and carry the bags and or boxes. Nothing more! But now I actually see how tiring it can be with all the trying on different kinds of clothes and stuff."
"But then again, we were shopping for a whole new wardrobe.", Angela said. "I've only seen Will shop for some clothes to wear."
"Good point.", Clarissa said. "Same with Cornelia. Plus, these last few days were our first time doing some major shopping."
"Well, hopefully, we won't have to do anymore shopping like that for a long time.", Angela said as she leaned back in her recliner.
"Amen to that.", Clarissa said.
"So you really haven't tried to... you know... please yourself?", Angela asked.
"Nope.", Clarissa said with a slight blush. "Have you?"
"Nope.", Angela said. "I mean, I've been with Will long enough to know what to do. But, I'm use to working my shaft. Not sticking it in."
"Same here.", Clarissa said. "But you know that sooner or later, we're going to try it out. So it might as well be sooner than later. I mean, it' not like we can ask a guy to do it for us."
"Unless it's a guy that knows about us.", Angela said.
"Not to mention one we can truly trust.", Clarissa said.
"So in other words...", Angela began to say.
"No.", they both said before laughing a bit.
"Well, I'm going to take a shower and get some sleep.", Clarissa said as she headed for the Bathroom. "I have a funny feeling that one or some of the girls have plans for us tomorrow."
"Let's hope that they give us a break so we can relax.", Angela said as she sat in her recliner.
Once Clarissa was done with her shower, she headed for her bedroom allowing Angela to go and take her shower. Once in her bedroom, Clarissa removed her towel to get dressed in her sleeping clothes when she caught a glimpse of herself in her full-body mirror. As she looked as herself, she had to admit that if she were to get transformed back and were to meet a girl that looked the way she did now, she'd try and get with her. I mean she was very attractive. She could even give Cornelia a run for her money. That thought made her smile a bit as she brought her hands up to her breast and pinched her nipples causing her to yelp a bit at the sensation. She then decided to have a bit of fun with herself and pinch them some more. And much to her surprise, she was beginning to enjoy it. A lot. And her body was reacting to it. Soon she laid on her bed, with her towel under her, and began to feel all over herself enjoying the feel of being touched the way she was touching herself. But then, she came to the area between her legs and stopped.
"Well, I came this far.", Clarissa said to herself. "Might as well go all the way. But first..."
Clarissa then reached into the draw of the stand, that was next to her bed, and pulled out a condom and unwrapped it. She then rolled out the condom and slipped it over her right index and middle fingers.
"I knew I'd use one of these on a girl.", Clarissa said. "But I never thought I'd be the girl.", she said as she slowly slipped the condom covered fingers into her area.
At first, she felt a bit weird. But then she hit something that caused her to gasp out loud in surprise at the feeling she began to feel at the touch.
"Whoa!", Clarissa shouted as a strange yet good sensation was sent throughout her body. "I don't know what that was, but... Wow!"
Clarissa then went and did it again only a bit harder which caused her to arch her back at the feel of it as she moaned out in pleasure which caused her to do it over and over again. The more she was doing this, the more she was enjoying it! Over and over again, she was giving herself great pleasure by running her fingers in and out of her area while letting out moans of pleasure while arching her back until she finally reached her climax in which some fluids came out from her and onto the towel she had under her. Clarissa then removed the condom from her finger and tossed it into the trash can. She then grabbed a thing of moist toilettes she had nearby and wiped her area off and tossed them in the trash can and took her towel and tossed it on the floor. And for the life of her, Clarissa wondered why she felt a bit drained while doing all of that.
"It must have been from pleasing myself.", Clarissa figured as she slowly but surely got under her covers letting the coolness of the sheets relax her nude body. "Next time, I know what to do.", she said as she slowly but surely went to sleep, tired from what she just done.
But what she didn't know was that she was somewhat loud as Angela was able to hear her moans of pleasure after she got out of the bathroom from taking her shower.
"Okay.", Angela said. "Now I'm curious.", she said as she headed into her bedroom. "But if I'm going to do this, I need to do it right."
Angela went into her dresser draw and pulled out a condom and put it on the stand next to her bed, as well as a thing if moist toilettes. After doing that, she stood in front of her full body mirror and took off her towel to get a good at herself.
"I know I said it before, but wow! I look good!", Angela said as she looked at herself in the mirror. "You'd think I'd look bad, but I look great!"
Angela then, felt her chest and went to touch her nipples and felt how erect they were and pinched them enjoying how it felt before deciding to explore the rest of her body. She then pulled back the covers of her bed and laid the same towel she had wrapped around herself on her bed and laid on it and began to massage her nipples some more before feeling around herself until she came to the area between her legs. Knowing what she was about to do, Angela unwrapped the condom she had and slipped it on her right index and middle fingers and slowly slipped it into her area. The feeling was quite strange to her as she moved her fingers in and out of herself. But then she hit a certain spot that sent a sensation through out her body which gave her a quite a shock of pleasure as her back arched.
"What the heck was that?", she questioned after recovering from the sudden sensation. "Whatever it was, it felt good.", she said as she continued to please herself while letting out moans of pleasure she was giving herself.
The more she was working her fingers in and out of her area the more pleasure she was feeling until she finally climaxed releasing some fluid onto the towel she had set up under her. Feeling somewhat drained from what she just did, Angela took the condom and threw it in the waste basket that was near her bed and used the moist toilettes she had and cleaned herself up and threw them in the waste basket as well as tossing her towel to the floor before she pulled the covers over her body and let the coolness of the sheets put her at ease before she slowly fell asleep. In another part of Heatherfield, one Will Vandom was laying in her bed wondering one thing.
'Will we be able to get Angela and Clarissa changed back to Angelo and Caleb.'
It was then Will turned her head and looked at a picture of herself and Angelo at the last school dance they went to. Angelo was dressed in a black suit while Will was dressed in a blue dress with matching shoes. It was then that Will realised how close Angelo was to her yet so far away.
"I miss you, Angelo.", Will said as a few tears ran down her face. "I miss you so much.", she said as she curled up in her bed and cried herself to sleep.
Soon it was morning, and Angela and Clarissa decided to get cleaned up and spend the day hanging out without the other girls. So after having a quick breakfast, Angela left a note for her Uncle John and grandparents and left with Clarissa for some fun on their own. Both girls were dressed in a pair of blue jeans shorts that went down to the center of their thighs with white sneakers and tank-tops. Angela's tank-top was gray while Clarissa's was white. They also had headbands to keep their hair out of their faces for they decided to go play some basketball at the Heatherfield Youth Center.
"I wonder if the girls are looking for us right now.", Clarissa said as they were walking down the sidewalk to the youth center.
"Don't know and, not to sound mean, don't care.", Angela said. "We need the alone time from them after all that has happened so far. This will be our way of seeing how well we function in public."
"Good point.", Clarissa said as they arrived at the youth center. "But why the youth center?"
"Cause guys and girls hang here a lot.", Angela explained. "So if we can kick it here..."
"The girls may back off and let me go where I please.", Clarissa said. "Here's hoping your plan works.", she said as they went inside the youth center.
"Well, let's play some b-ball and go from there.", Angelo said as she grabbed a basketball from the ball rack and went up to one of the hoops to play some basketball with Clarissa.
"Why basketball?", Clarissa questioned.
"We need to work on our speed, flexibility, and hand-eye coordination.", Angela explained. "And I believe that some basketball will help with that.", she said as she began to dribble the ball.
"Sounds like a plan to me.", Clarissa said as Angela shot a basket and missed.
"Wow! I really need to adjust my game.", she said as Clarissa rebounded the ball.
"It does feel different playing with this body.", Clarissa said as she began to dribble the ball. "Even dribbling the ball feels different."
"Bad enough we have to adjust to our new height.", Angela said as Clarissa passed her the ball. "We also have to take in account our chest.", she said as she tried to shoot a basket only for her arms to knock into her breast missing the shot again. "Looks like we have our work cut out for us.", Angela said as they began to play a game of one-on-one to adjust to playing as girls.
Speaking of girls, W.I.T.C.H. along with Elyon and Alchemy had arrived at the Vanders apartment building home where Cassidy let them in on the second floor of the place where Kadma and Joe were watching some TV.
"Hey, Cass.", Will said. "Where are Angela and Clarissa?"
"It seems that they already left.", Cassidy said as she handed Will a piece of paper.
"Dear Family, Clarissa and I have decided to go out and have some fun of our own.", Will said as she read the note. "We know the girls mean well, and all, but we really need our space. Plus, we don't need Corny and Irma annoying us which may result in us kicking their butts like Clarissa did Irma a few days ago.", she read to which Irma scowled while the other girls giggled. "You don't have to worry about us. I have enough cash to get us something to eat not to mention we now have our IDs that Uncle John got for us. So we'll be okay. I'll call you around Noon to let you know that we're okay. Later! Love your nephew-turned-niece, Angela Starlighter."
"Is it really safe to be letting them out on their own?", Elyon questioned.
"I don't see the problem with them having some time to themselves.", Joe said. "They need to be able to venture out if they're going to see how they do out there with the state they're in."
"Very true.", Kadma said.
"But what if they run into any guys that try to hit on them?", Hay Lin questioned.
"They know how to say no and walk away.", Joe said.
"And if they run into any guys that don't take no for an answer?", Cassidy questioned.
"Then I feel for those guys.", Taranee said getting a snicker out of Will.
"Good point.", Cassidy said. "But I'd feel better if we at least keep an eye on them from a distance."
"And if they spot us spying on them?", Hay Lin questioned.
"So what if they catch us!?", Irma questioned. "What are they going to do? Tell us to beat it?"
"You just want to go and bug them for fun.", Alchemy said.
"Your point?", Irma asked with a smirk.
"What about you?", Elyon asked Cornelia.
"Like I said before, I plan on making Clarissa sorry she dumped me when she was Caleb.", Cornelia claimed with a serious look. "And she's due for a bit of bugging."
"Oh brother.", Will said while rolling her eyes. "Let's go guys.", Will said as they left the place.
"That Cornelia girl is going to be trouble.", Joe said as Halinor came out of the bathroom.
"If she does not change her ways, she will pay a great price.", Halinor said as she sat with her friends. "Has Cassidy left as well?"
"Yes.", Kadma said. "Do you see it?"
"You mean how she wishes to spend time with Clarissa?", Halinor questioned with a grin. "Indeed I do."
"She sees her as a replacement for Nerissa.", Joe replied. "They were good friends back in the day."
"And now, Cassidy sees a new friendship in Clarissa.", Kadma figured. "I wonder how long it will be before Clarissa sees this?"
"Only time will tell.", Halinor said before pouring some tea that was set up on the coffee table.
As for Clarissa and Angela, they were doing pretty good with their game of one-on-one. It took them some time, but they got their groove back which they were glad to get back. They had to do a bit of adjusting due to their situation, but in time they were playing like they used to.
"Well, it looks like we got our skills going again.", Angela said as she shot a basket.
"Thank goodness.", Clarissa said as she rebounded the ball. "Aw, man! We got company."
"What are you talking about?", Angela asked as she turned to where Clarissa was looking. "Aw, crap."
Walking up to them was Peter Cook and a Spanish-American teenage boy around Peter's age. Peter was dressed in a pair of red shorts and a black tank-top with white sneakers while his friend was dressed in a pair of black shorts and a blue tank-top with white sneakers.
"If you want to leave now, just say the word.", Angela asked as the two boys were approaching them.
"We were here first.", Clarissa said. "So why should we leave?"
"If you say so.", Angela said.
"Hello, ladies.", Peter said to Clarissa and Angela. "Fancy meeting you here."
"What's up, Peter.", Angela said. "Who's your friend?"
"Angela. Clarissa. This is my friend, Anthony.", Peter said introducing his friend. "But everyone calls him Tony."
"Hello, Tony.", Clarissa said to him.
"Hello.", Tony said before turning to Angela. "And hello to you, señorita.", he said a he took Angela's hand and kissed it.
'Oh brother.', Angela thought to herself as she wanted to roll her eyes yet didn't not wanting to be rude.
"So what brings you here?", Tony asked.
"Just playing some b-ball.", Angela said as she began to dribble the ball a bit.
"Really now?", Peter questioned. "Well, it so happens that we came here to do the same thing."
"How about we play a little two-one-two.", Tony suggested. "We can do a little co-ed team up.", he said winking to Peter.
"Yeah!", Peter said catching on to Tony's plan. "Me and Clarissa can team up against you and Tony.", he said to Angela.
"That sounds nice.", Clarissa said as she walked over to Angela. "But how about me and Angela against you two.", she said as she wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "It'll give us a chance to work on our game and teamwork."
"Ummmmm... Are you sure?", Peter asked. "I mean me and Tony are really good. We're on our college's basketball team."
"We're sure.", Angela said. "I mean we're just playing for fun."
"Okay.", Tony said. "If that's what you want."
"But let's sweeten the pot a little.", Peter said with a small smirk. "We play a little game of twenty-one. And if me and Tony win, then you'll be our dates to Andrew Hornby and Sondra Andrews' pool party.", he said to Tony who smiled liking the idea.
"And what if we win?", Clarissa asked.
"Then we'll be your dates to the pool party.", Tony said with a smile. "Everybody wins.", as he winked at Peter who winked back smiling.
"That's nice but, how about this.", Angela said. "If we win, you treat us and some friends to lunch."
"And if we win, you'll be our dates to the pool party.", Tony said.
"Deal.", Angela said as she and Peter shook hands.
"Us and some friends?", Clarissa questioned as they walked a few feet from Peter and Tony.
"By now, Will and the girls are looking for us. And Elyon can find you, due to the powers she gave you. Right?", she asked getting a nod from Clarissa. "So sooner or later, they'll find us here."
"And you plan on winning this game so Peter and his friend will buy us and the girls something to eat so they'll back off.", Clarissa figured.
"Everyone wins.", Angela said.
"Except Peter and Tony.", Clarissa said to which the two girls snickered.
"You girls ready?", Peter asked.
"Ready as we'll ever be.", Clarissa said.
"Okay then.", Tony said as he passed Angela the ball. "Ladies first."
"And the first mistake was made.", Angela said to herself before she passed the ball to Clarissa who smirked knowing this was going to be fun. "Game on, fellas!"
As for the girls, it took them a while but thanks to Elyon and her ability to find any of her Guardians through the powers she gave them, they ended up at the Heatherfield Youth Center.
"So this is where they are, huh?", Irma asked looking up at the sign of the building.
"I can sense Clarissa in there now.", Elyon said.
"Wonder what they're doing in there.", Hay Lin said.
"Only one way to find out.", Taranee said as they went inside the youth center.
Once in the youth center, the girls heard some people shouting and cheering coming from the multi-purpose area of the youth center. Just then a teenage boy ran past them.
"What's going on?", Cassidy asked.
"Two hot girls are beating these guys in a game of twenty-one!", the boy said before he ran towards the game in progress.
"You don't think...?", Hay Lin questioned.
"Let's go find out!", Elyon said as they went to see who was playing.
Once in the multi-purpose area of the youth center, the girls were surprised to see Angela and Clarissa playing Peter and one of his friends in a game of basketball. And from the cheers that were going on, the two girls were winning as Clarissa scored a shot.
"That's nineteen to fifteen.", Clarissa said as Tony got the ball and passed it to her.
"This game is far from over!", Tony said while wiping sweat from his forehead as Peter stood few feet from him.
"Aw, man! These girls play like guys!", Peter said.
"I know.", Tony said. "But we can't let them beat us!"
"I'm with you.", Peter said. "You cover Clarissa while I cover Angela. And keep her from scoring!"
"Gotcha!", Tony said as he went to cover Angela. "You do the same with Angela!", he said getting a nod from Peter.
"I see it, but I don't believe it.", Taranee said. "They're actually beating my brother and Tony."
"Cool!", Hay Lin said watching the game.
"Are you sure they're not using their "special" abilities to win?", Irma questioned.
"No. They're playing fair.", Elyon said. "And kicking butt!"
"Not on my watch.", Cornelia said to herself as she used her telekinesis to make Clarissa's shot miss. "Ha!", she said as Peter rebounded the ball and passed it to Tony who made a shot. "Ow!", Cornelia shouted as Will punched her in the arm. "What was that for!?"
"I saw what you did!", Will said. "Do it again, and I'll punch the other arm!"
"Alright! Alright! Geez!", Cornelia said while rubbing the spot where Will punched her. "Touchy much?"
A few minutes later, it was twenty to nineteen in favor of Angela and Clarissa who had the ball dribbling it with Tony in her way. She spotted Angela with Peter guarding her. Both girls nodded to each other knowing what they were going to do. Angela then spun to the left and then quickly spun to the right to which Peter moved to the right to block Angela from getting the ball. But then Angela quickly spun to the left giving Clarissa the opening she needed to pass the ball to Angela which she did. As for Angela, once she go the ball, she went to the hoop for the shot with Peter ready to block the shot only for Angela to pass the ball to Clarissa while in the air.
"Aw, crap!", Tony said as Clarissa caught the ball and made a shot that missed. "Yes!", he shouted only for Angela to get the ball and make the winning shot. "No!"
Those watching the game go down cheered for Angela and Clarissa who high-fived each other proud of their victory.
"Now that was fun!", Clarissa said.
"Oh yeah!", Angela said as Peter and Tony came walking up to them. "Good game guys!"
"For you maybe.", Peter said. "Where did you learn to play like that?"
"I have a lot of male cousins.", Angela said.
"I grew up around guys.", Clarissa said. "You learn to play rough."
"That explains a lot.", Tony said. "Well, we lost so, where do to want to eat?"
"Hmmmmmmm...", Clarissa said. "I could go for some of that Taco Bell place."
"Me too.", Angela said. "I like getting burritos with chicken.", she said as Will and the girls came walking up to them.
"So this is where you two were.", Cassidy said giving Clarissa a stern look.
"Yep!", Clarissa said. "Angela and I decided to have a bit of fun today."
"You could of told us where you were going.", Cassidy said.
"We left a note.", Clarissa said. "Geez! What are you? My mother?"
Cassidy let out a low grunt as she turned away from Clarissa getting a snicker out of Elyon and Alchemy.
"So how does it feel to lose to some girls?", Taranee asked her brother with a smirk.
"I see that you enjoyed the game.", Peter said to his little sister.
"It was fun to watch.", Taranee said with a smile.
"And it gets better.", Angela said. "Peter and Tony are treating us to lunch at Taco Bell."
"Really now?", Will and Taranee questioned with smirks.
"Yeah. It was part of the wager we made before the game started.", Clarissa said.
"And by we, you mean my sister and her friends as well.", Peter figured.
"They are our friends.", Angela said.
"Oh boy.", Tony said while rolling his eyes.
"At least we picked a place where you won't have to spend much money.", Angela said.
"Let's go then.", Tony said as they all left the youth center and headed for Taco Bell.
As they were all walking down the sidewalk, Peter couldn't take his eyes off of Clarissa while Tony was the same with Angela. To bad Cornelia noticed this as well as a smirk grew on her face.
"What's running through that head of yours?", Irma asked Cornelia.
Cornelia then whispered something in Irma's ear which caused a smirk to grow on her face as well.
"Oh, this is going to be good!", Irma said liking Cornelia's idea. "So when do we do this?"
"We can start at Taco Bell.", Cornelia said. "We'll get the wheels turning and get things revved up at the party."
"Then let's grease some wheel.", Irma said as they continued their way to Taco Bell.
It took them a while, but they found their way to Taco Bell to which they were happy to be in a place with air conditioning.
"Oh yeah!", Will said letting the cool air hit her. "That feels good."
"You're telling me.", Angela said. "It wasn't this bad this morning. Should of driven my ride."
"Well, we made it.", Hay Lin said. "And I'm hungry."
"Well, we did make a deal.", Peter said. "So what do you all want?"
The girls gave Peter and Tony their orders to which they split between each other. Of course, Peter took Taranee and Clarissa's among the other ones he accepted while Tony took Angela along with the others that he took. To bad for Tony, Irma was one of them in which she ordered enough for two people to eat which, of course, earned her some looks from the other customers who were surprised by how much the girl was eating. It was then that they all decided to eat outside, As they were taking a seat at the outdoor tables, Tony was trying to sit with Angela while Peter was trying to sit with Clarissa. Thankfully, Elyon and Cassidy sat with Clarissa while Will and Hay Lin sat with Angela. Which left Tony and Peter to sit on their own.
Sort of.
"Well, I didn't see that coming.", Cassidy said as she saw Cornelia sit with Peter and Irma sit with Tony.
"Eh! My guess is that Cornelia is trying to get a date for the party, this Friday.", Alchemy said.
"And of all guys she picks my big brother.", Taranee figured getting a nod from Alchemy.
"That sounds like Corny.", Elyon said. "Who better than a college guy to go to a party with to get some attention."
"So what's the deal with Irma?", Will questioned. "She trying to do the same thing?"
"Yeah.", Angela said. "My guess is that she's trying to get Matt jealous. Just like Cornelia is trying to do with Clarissa, AKA Caleb, by talking to Peter."
"To bad it's not working.", Clarissa said. "She might as well get with your brother, Taranee. Cause I don't plan on getting back with her when I get turned back to normal."
"Peter and Cornelia.", Taranee said thinking of that concept before she shivered. "No thank you!", she said getting a laugh out of the others as they were eating their meal.
But to bad for them, Cornelia and Irma weren't flirting with Peter and Tony. They had other ideas on their minds.
"So you like Clarissa, huh?", Cornelia asked Peter.
"And you have the hots for Angela.", Irma said to Tony.
"And?", Tony questioned.
"We can help you get with them.", Cornelia said getting the attention of the two boys.
"We're listening.", Peter said with a questionable raised eyebrow.
"Well, there's this backyard party this Friday where we know our friends, like us, will be going to.", Cornelia said.
"Friends like Angela and Clarissa.", Irma added to which Tony and Peter smiled.
"So we go to this party and find both girls standing or sitting alone.", Tony figured. "Peter and I, of course, go to them and talk a bit followed by some dancing."
"And before the party ends, we'll getting some hot girlfriends!", Peter said as he and Tony high-fived each other.
"Shhhh!", Irma said to the boys. "Keep it down! You don't want them to hear you, do you?"
"Sorry.", Peter said.
"I just thought of something.", Tony said. "Won't it look weird if two college guys show up at a party for teenagers?"
"That's where me and Irma come in.", Cornelia said. "Peter and I can show up together at the party while you and Irma can show up together."
"And if people ask, we'll say that I brought you along so you can keep an eye on Taranee and you wanted Tony to come because you two are friends.", Cornelia explained.
"Plus, you'll be helping me make my ex-boyfriend jealous.", Irma said with a smirk.
"And when we get there, Peter and I go looking for Angela and Clarissa.", Tony said getting nods from Irma and Cornelia.
"Everybody wins.", Cornelia said. "So do we have a deal?"
"Deal.", Peter and Tony said as Peter shook hand with Cornelia and Tony shook hands with Irma.
"This Friday night will b a night to remember!", Cornelia said as she and Irma shared a smirk knowing that the first part of their little plan was in motion.
But to bad for them, Hay Lin, Elyon, Clarissa, and Angela heard their little plan due to their hearing. A half an hour later, after eating their food and talking about what they were going to do before Friday's party, the girls were ready to go and do whatever they had planned.
"So I guess we'll be seeing you girls this Friday.", Peter said.
"This Friday?", Elyon questioned playing dumb.
"Yeah.", Tony said. "I'll be going with Irma to a party a freind of yours is having while Peter will be going with Cornelia."
"Well it seems that you two managed to find dates for the party.", Hay Lin said playing dumb as well.
"Well when opportunity knocks, you answer.", Irma said.
"Well, we'll see you on Friday.", Angela said playing dumb.
"Later.", Peter said before turning to his sister. "See you later, Sis."
"See ya.", Taranee said to her brother as she watched him walk off.
And once he was far enough away...
"Really, Cornelia?", Taranee questioned her friend. "My brother?"
"What?", Cornelia questioned playing innocent. "Do you have a problem with me going with your brother to the party?"
"What do you think!?", Taranee snapped. "You're only doing this to make Clarissa jealous. It's the same crap you pulled a few years ago!"
"Well it's different this time.", Cornelia said. "We're only going to the party as friends. Nothing more."
"Mmm-Hmm. Listen and listen good, Cornelia.", Taranee said to the Earth Guardian. "You hurt my brother and you'll find out that I'm not as timid as most people think I am.", she said giving Cornelia a look that said she wasn't playing before she turned and walked away to which Cornelia couldn't help but gulp knowing that Taranee was kidding around.
"Well that was... Wow!", Cassidy said.
"Taranee needs to relax.", Irma said. "Peter can go out with whoever he wants to."
"And if that someone is using him to make someone jealous?", Alchemy questioned.
"And who says I'm doing that?", Cornelia questioned. "Like I told Taranee, Peter and I are just going as friends to the party."
"That same goes for Tony and myself.", Irma said. "Now if by some reason a certain ex-boyfriend gets jealous, then so be it.", she said. "He'll see that he isn't the only guy out there and I don't need him."
"Really now?", Will questioned. "Cause I heard different.", she said with a smirk.
"Yeah.", Angela said. "Something about wearing a thong bikini to get Matt to get rid of Sondra.", she said getting some snickers and giggles out of all but Cornelia and Irma who suddenly had a deep red blush as she turned and stormed off while mumbling to herself. "Guess we heard right!", she shouted.
"You are so asking for it!", Cornelia said to Angela.
"Bring it on then.", Angela said. "I'm ready to go! You name the time and place."
"Why get my hands dirty when I can crush you in other ways.", Cornelia said as she turned and walked off after Irma.
"And with the both of them gone, I say we go after Taranee.", Alchemy said to which the others agreed as they headed in the direction Taranee walked off in.
"Do you guys think we went a bit to far with bringing up the thong bikini?", Hay Lin asked as they walked down the sidewalk.
"Honestly, I don't think so.", Elyon said. "Remember when I bought a thing of thong underwear and wore them to school, a few weeks ago?", she asked getting nods from everyone. "Remember what Irma did?", she asked in a dull tone.
"Oh yeah!", Cassidy said. "She took a picture of the part that was exposed when you bent down to tie your shoes and sent it to the rest of us."
"Including our boyfriends.", Alchemy said causing Elyon to blush a bit.
"That was just mean.", Will said. "I'm just glad I was able to use my powers to delete the pic from her cell phone."
"I'm glad that your boyfriends deleted the pic from their cell phones.", Elyon said.
"I still don't know why she did it.", Hay Lin said.
"No idea.", Clarissa said. "But I do remember Cornelia suggesting that she should send the pic to you all and your boyfriends."
"And you're telling us this now because...?", Elyon asked.
"One, I didn't think Irma would actually do it.", Clarissa said. "And two, part of me didn't want to risk ending the friendship you had with Cornelia."
"Oh.", Elyon said understanding why Clarissa didn't say anything.
"Now the question is why Cornelia would even thing of suggesting something like that.", Alchemy said.
"Because she's jealous of Elyon.", Angela said surprising the others. "Well it's true. Think about it. That girl thinks the world revolves around her. I'm willing to wager that when she found out that Elyon was a queen, a part of her became jealous thinking that why couldn't she be the queen. I mean whenever we went to the palace, she acts like she's special."
"She needs a reality check.", Cassidy said. "And a big one!"
"Irma as well.", Alchemy said. "She's getting to be a lot like Corny."
"I wouldn't sweat it much.", Angela said. "Popularity can be taken from a person as fast as they can get it."
"Very true.", Will said. "Sooner or later, someone will come and take Cornelia and Irma's popularity."
"And maybe some humility will do them some good.", Clarissa said winking to Angela who winked back remembering their plan to fix Cornelia and Irma.
"There she is!", Hay Lin said as she spotted Taranee walking out of a book store.
The seven girls picked up the pace to catch up with Taranee to see if she was okay.
Sometime later...
"Thank, guys.", Taranee said as she and the girls were walking to the Silver Dragon. "I'll be okay. I just needed to clear my head."
"It's okay, Taranee.", Will said as she wrapped an arm around her friend's shoulder. "Cornelia is crossing a line and should know better."
"Let's just hope that she really is going to the party with Peter as friends.", Cassidy said.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired talking about all of this.", Angela said as they closed in on the Vanders' apartment building. "I say we go relax and enjoy ourselves. And if Corny is trying to use Peter to make Clarissa jealous, then we'll tell him."
"I can work with that.", Taranee said with a smile.
"Good.", Clarissa said. "Now let's eat!", she said as they entered the apartment building.
Later that evening, Angela and Clarissa were in their apartment. After eating dinner at the Silver Dragon, the girls said their goodbyes to each other and headed for their homes. Which brings us to Clarissa and Angela who are watching some TV.
"So did you overhear what Cornelia and Irma planned out with Peter and Tony?", Angela asked.
"Yep.", Clarissa said.
"Think Hay Lin and Elyon heard them, too?", Angela asked.
"Yep.", Clarissa said. "And ten to one, they'll tell us and the others tomorrow. If not sooner.", she said as a knock came at the door.
Angela got up and answered the door to see that Hay Lin and Will were at the door each with a backpack, rolled up sleeping bag and pillow.
"Hey, girls.", Angela said. "What's up?"
"We need to talk.", Will said.
"About...?", Angela asked.
"The party, this Friday.", Hay Lin said. "Irma and Corny have plans for you and Clarissa."
"And they're not good.", Will said.
A/N: Well, that was an... interesting evening for Angela and Clarissa. Very interesting. And it seems that Peter really has the hots for Clarissa! Let's hope that Taarnee's plan to have Aldern pose as Clarissa's date works and Peter backs off. And poor Will. She really needs to talk to somebody before she snaps and possibly has a nervous breakdown about al that's happening. Cause who knows how long Angela and Clarissa are going to be the way they are now. Weeks, months, or even a year or two. Who knows. And it looks like Hay Lin told Will about Irma and Cornelia's plan and they decided to tell Angela and Clarissa who already know about it. And it seems that Will and Hay Lin have plans for a sleepover as well. How's that going to turn out? Find out in the next chapter!
