Chapter 8

The next day Meifa woke up groggy, feeling like she had a giant cotton ball covered in sandpaper stuffed down her throat, and the room just wouldn't stop spinning around her. She focused and saw that she was completely naked, and that she was on the floor sharing a blanket with Milly, similarly naked. The redhead girl opened her eyes and smiled, "You were pretty great last night." Meifa was blushing red and said, "W-what!?" Milly pulled her into a hug and said, "You've finally popped your cherry! And you were the best first time girl I've ever had!" Meifa's head was spinning even more, she couldn't think and only babble, "Wha- no- how do- I can'- we didn't- Oh MY GOD!" It was all too much for her, and soon she felt like heavy mallets were banging on her head, and she started to turn green.

"Oh shit!" Milly said, and quickly helped Meifa to the bathroom. She pulled her to the toilet and Meifa felt like her stomach was being squeezed as she threw up into the toilet while Milly held her hair out of her face. For nearly ten minutes Meifa threw up all the liquor and cocktails she had drank the night before as well as what food was in her stomach as well. When she was done, she washed her mouth out in the sink. And then the girl sank down to her knees holding her body. "You…you took my first time. And I can't even remember it. I…I wanted it to be with someone I loved…" she started crying, and Milly quickly said, "WAIT WAIT WAIT! We didn't do anything, I swear! I was just messing with you! All I did was take your clothes off and crawl under the covers with you! That's all, I swear, I was just pranking you!"

Meifa looked at her and Milly said, "I promise, I've never taken advantage of anyone like that! If I did, Ruby and Chloe would kill me! And I like you too much to do that to you. I'm sorry, I was just trying to pull a prank on the new girl, since it was your first time drinking, that's all." Meifa looked at her and Milly helped her up, "Alright, that was a mean prank, it's done. You're still a virgin, okay? You can stop crying now." Meifa washed her face off in the sink and Milly gave her back her clothes.

Meifa saw that everyone else was gone and asked, "So, where are the other girls?" Milly sat down and said, "They're out getting breakfast. Hopefully something greasy for the hangover." Meifa laid down on another couch, her head was still hurting, like it was a piece of metal being beaten by blacksmiths. "So, how'd you like drinking?" Milly asked as she turned on the TV to the News. Meifa ignored it and just prayed her headache would go away, only for the doorbell to ring. "Can you get that?" Meifa asked the older girl. Milly got up and looked through the eyehole. "Huh, it's that old guy from the club…Ford," Milly said. "Let him in," Meifa said. Milly smirked at that, "Oh, so you two are like that, huh?"

She opened the door and Milly said, "She's on the couch." Jet quickly went in and went to her. "You alright, Meifa?" he asked her. "I'm a little hungover," she groaned. Jet sighed, "I warned you about drinking too much." He looked over and whispered, "You still got it?" Meifa took a second to remember her tracker and patted her bellybutton, the tracking device was still inside her bellybutton. Meifa nodded and Jet got up and asked Milly, "Is there any Tylenol around here?" Milly told him, "Bathroom." Jet went in the bathroom and came out with the Tylenol from the medicine cabinet and then got a glass of water for Meifa.

He handed the Tylenol to her and said, "Chew on it like candy. It'll be bitter as Hell, but it'll help with your hangover. Drink the water when you're done with the Tylenol." Meifa nodded and popped the Tylenol into her mouth and started chewing. It was like chewing on sour flavored sawdust, but she kept on chewing until the Tylenol was down her throat, and then washed it down with water. After she finished the water, the rest of the girls came in, with bags full of fast food breakfast. "Oh, it's you," Octavia said in a flirty tone of voice.

She sauntered over, shaking her hips as she walked over to Jet and wrapped her arms around his flesh and blood arm. "You've seen some action," she said, feeling his muscles, "You think you can deal with some more?" Jet started to blush and said, "I just came here to make sure Meifa was alright, that's all." Octavia pulled Jet's arm between her cleavage and said, "She's fine now. Come on, I know a quiet place we can have some fun… However you want it." Jet managed to get his arm detached from Octavia and quickly left saying, "I'll see you at the Club." He beat a hasty exit and the girls chuckled. "Oh well," Octavia shrugged, "I guess he likes petite girls. Such a shame, the guys with scars always got a story to tell, plus they get extra kinky in the sack."

"Anyway," Chloe said as she tossed Meifa a breakfast sandwich, "Eat up. It'll help you with the hangover. We also got plenty of orange juice. You need vitamins to really recover, especially if you're working tonight." Meifa dug into the fast food, it really wasn't as bad as she feared it would be. After washing it down with two cartons of orange juice, her head was no longer spinning, and she almost felt as good as if she hadn't been drinking at all.

Meifa headed home and she and Jet practiced self-defense until it was almost time for them to head for the Kitty Cabaret. Jet left and got there an hour before Meifa to avoid suspicion and she entered after making sure she was ready. She headed backstage and quickly changed into her usual bellydancer outfit. She found some bracelets and anklets to wear as well and looked at herself in the mirror. And she thought about her life that led her here.

She never imagined she'd become a stripper, she had honestly looked down on them, and the kind of life one would have for that kind of work. But now, here she was. She had been in desperate circumstances, and now she was showing off her body to strange men. And yet, she liked dancing, she found. It was exciting and fun to let her body loose. And most of the other girls were really great; Ruby and Chloe were almost like the older sisters she never had.

She wondered if she could do something that involved dancing, once this entire thing was resolved. Without the stripping of course. And dirty old men feeling her up all the time; that was one thing she wouldn't miss about this experience. After thinking all of this and getting her makeup on, Meifa waited until she was called out to the stage. As soon as she was called, Meifa walked out to the stage with more confidence than she had ever felt before. She saw Jet watching her as she walked out on stage and she shook her hips the way she had seen Chloe when she was ready to go. Jet's eyes nearly popped out of his skull as she started her dance by tearing off her top!

Meifa wanted more money now, so she could put all of this behind her. She had been told she needed to show more skin to make it happen, and she had to embrace that fact now. She moved her body slowly and sensually at first, before slowly building up more and more speed. Her body moved like a snake's constantly writhing with all the sensuality she could put into it. Men cheered at her show as she danced more and more furiously until her breasts were bouncing with every move and she could hear the bracelets and anklets of her costume jingling with her every move. Bu the time she was done her body had a nice sheen of sweat and she gathered together as much Woolong as she could grab with two hands.

She was breathing hard as she made it backstage and started counting her money. She was nearly done she had made 123481 Woolong! "Wow," she said aloud, "I can move into a better apartment now." Jet walked up then and tossed her top to her; his face was as red as a cherry. "That was quite a show," the old bounty hunter said. "It paid off," Meifa said, showing off her money. "Is this how you want to live your life, Meifa? Is this the life your Father would want for you?" At the mention of her dead father, Pao Pu-Zi, her heart stopped. "No, I don't like this… But… I also like the dancing parts. And, I like the girls here, they're fun; like the big sisters I never had," she said.

Suddenly, she and Jet were interrupted when Barb walked over. "That was a good job, Meifa," the owner of the Kitty Cabaret said. Her eyes roamed over Meifa's body, and the girl felt like a piece of meat being inspected. "Ford, I think that we can leave Meifa alone, so she can get ready for her next show," Barb said, "Come on, I think I saw some customers about to start a fight. You should go talk with them." Jet gave Meifa a look and then walked away with Barb. Meifa got a towel and wiped the sweat off her body and put her top back on.

She was waiting for her next call out, when someone walked up behind her and pulled a towel over her face. Meifa barely had time to scream, before the world turned sideways, and everything went black.
