Spiked Punch.
"Ow…" Someone on the dance floor stirred. Her head ached and her brown hair fell in her face. Miss D, who was one of the tons of people trying the punch, still lay passed out in the corner.
"What the… ?"

"We're all going to DIE! We're already DEAD! DEAD, I tell you! DEAD!" Rondana screamed, having her third nervous breakdown in five minutes. She was in a cage, in a secluded room. She was going to lose her mind, if she hadn't already killed the little sanity she had left.
X
"THIS ISN'T FUNNY! IF WE'RE ON TV, I'LL SUE ALL OF YOU!" Lee threatened, trying to kick his cage over. A guard smirked. He and his little friends were in for it.

"Finn, this isn't funny! If this is some kind of payback from when I blew sandcake mix out of your vents, I'm sorry! It was just a joke!" Shadow shouted. She wanted to get out, now. She had an issue with tiny little spaces.
X
Ari just sprawled all over her cage, pretending to be dead. The moment someone came in here to say "SURPRISE!! You're on live TV, and you've been Hijinxed!", they would freak and let her out. THEN, she would totally kick their butt. On live TV.

Trayos thought he was seriously dead. Either that, or in hell. There was no way he was back in here. Tiny cages, poor meals, very few bathroom breaks… Just all a part of the package that came with living his life…
X
Dawne was still unconscious, thanks to the numerous drugs injected in her while she was out, so she didn't really have anything to contribute.
X
"Sir, they're all reacting strange. Perhaps we should…" An intern stuttered. Marks turned around in his chair, smiling to himself.
"A few more minutes. Then we'll put them in the same room"

Aerrow looked around. Usually, Shadow would stop bye and say good morning by now. He was beginning to worry.
"Hey Aerrow, what's wrong?" Piper asked at lunch. Aerrow pointed at the table, usually dominated by Trayos, Lee, Tyrannis, Ari, Shadow, Rondana, Tigger, and Aladd.
"Nobody's there. And last night, there was an incident at homecoming…"
"Oh would you relax! She's probably pretending to be sick"
"What about everyone else?"
"Maybe they're all sick?"
X
Tigger rocked back and forth, breathing harshly and shaking.
"I'm in a cage! Why am I in a cage?! People aren't supposed to be in cages!"
"Tigger? Is that you?!" A voice asked. The sound of wheels on squeaky clean floors followed. A scientist rounded the corner, wheeling a little cart thing with cages in it.
"Guys! You're all okay!"
"Well, Rondana isn't" Lee joked. Rondana tried to smack him through the bars, but instead just made a lot of noise. Trayos kept peering around.
"How long do you think it'll be until I get out again?" he asked the scientist wheeling them snidely. The scientist refused to look at him. Shadow looked at him confused.
"Huh?"
Trayos got really silent.
"Again? How- Wait a second, where's Dawne?"
"Who?" The scientist asked. Aladd gave him the 'duh!' face.
"Uh, the person with silver hair, who's kind of cute…"
"ALADD!"
"What?!"
"Speaking of missing people, where's Tyrannis?"
Everyone thought for a second.
"I'll bet you five bucks that he's too big, so they might have had to put him somewhere else"
"I'm right here"
Everyone jumped, shaking their cages and the person above them. Tyrannis was chained to the floor, not quite sitting or standing.
"Wow, that looks uncomfortable"
"Hang on, we're getting side tracked here. Where is Dawne. Think People" Rondana said, finally coming to her senses.. Everyone stared.
"Um, guys? There's something you should know… About Dawne" Trayos muttered. Shadow thought she was going to pass out. Were they dating?!
"Dawne is only half Dawne"
Oh what a relief- Wait, what?
"Only half? How is that possible?"
Trayos sighed.
"A lot of weird people come from here. That includes me and Dawne"
"You…" Shadow stuttered. Trayos nodded. Shadow stared at the floor of her cage.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you-"
"Hey, you had a good reason for keeping it to yourself. I would probably think you were kidding" Shadow reassured, trying to sound cheerful.
"This is awkward…"
"SCREEEEEEE!"
Everyone jumped. Something was screaming.
"Griffey!" Shadow called, jumping up. But that isn't exactly the smartest thing to do when you're at the bottom of a pile of cages.
"Whoa!" The tower of humans came toppling down. Tyrannis gave them a look.
"Nice" He muttered. Two guards noticed the crash.
"Hey!"
"EEK!" Shadow jumped on top of a crate, which wasn't balanced very well.
"Whoops!" Shadow leaped off, just as the crate knocked out one of the guards. The other guard whirled around.
"You little!"
"Nya!" Shadow jeered, sticking out her tongue. This was going to be a long day.
cccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
Oh boy, they're pissing off the guards. well, I'll be on hiatus this whole week (summer camp, heh) So, don't forget the reviews. I'll come back a happy person!
