Meanwhile...
It took awhile to actually get there, but Chaz finally made it to Club Candy. From the looks of it, the entire place looked packed, which was pretty much what he expects almost every night. Almost all of the people that he knew went here to either hang out with their friends or just party. Chaz almost couldn't find a spot in the parking lot to the left of the building how packed the club was tonight, he literately had to resort to using the exact same alley-way that he always parks his car in whenever he's at work. Thankfully, his dad's auto-shop was right across the street from Club Candy. After he parked his car in the alley-way, Chaz got out of the vehicle then headed his way over to the club.
Upon entering, just like Chaz had assumed, the club was nearly filled to the brim with people. Most of the club-goers were enjoying themselves on the dance-floor, some were eating or drinking at the snack bar to the right of the building, while some were just standing off to the walls and talking to one another. The song '24K Magic' by Bruno Mars was playing throughout the entirety of the building. All in all, it seemed like it was another night here at Club Candy as per usual.
Chaz didn't exactly feel like dancing tonight, so he decided to head over to the snack bar to get himself something to drink instead. He sat down in one of the stools, then waited for the vendor to come over to him to take his order. Once the vendor had gotten to him, Chaz ordered himself a beer. It didn't take too long for him to even wait for it, as the person just went over to the miniature refrigerator that was underneath the counter, then took a can out of it. Once the biker was given his beer, he turned around and just sat there watching the people around the dance-floor.
While he was sitting there, Chaz decided to take out his phone to see if Crystal had called or texted him while he was on his way here. Unfortunately, when he checked, he discovered that she hasn't responded to his previous calls or texts still. It seems like she's still angry with him for the incident that had occurred over at his house earlier this morning. He thought that she'd be over it by then since their hangout was hours ago already. Regardless, wherever she is and whatever she was doing, he hopes that this didn't mean their friendship is over.
"Hey Chaz!" A female voice shouts from nearby. "I wasn't expecting seeing you here tonight!"
Hearing his name being said, Chaz immediately looked up from his phone, then turned his head towards where the person was. He looked to his right, seeing Candy making her way over to where he was at. Despite not hanging out around here a lot, Chaz was actually good friends with Candy and her two other friends. Although, he mostly spoke with her a lot more than her other two friends. With a smile, Chaz stood up from his stool while she walked over to him.
"Oh, hey Candy." Chaz said as he placed his phone back into his jacket pocket. "I just decided to come here since...well, it's been a pretty hard week for me and Tim, you know?"
"Damn...sorry to hear about that." Candy then crossed her arms, looking at the biker with concern present on her face. "Me, Saph, and Zack heard about your breakup with Summer. You doing okay, dude?"
Chaz could only shrug and fake a smile at that being asked. "Well...I'm trying to move on her..." He then cringed, before rubbing the back of his neck. "I was...thinking about dating Crystal, but...something happened and...now I'm starting to think that a relationship with her isn't going to happen, so..." He then lets out a depressed sigh. "...Here I am, I guess..."
"Where's Tim, by the way? I just noticed that he's not with you right now."
"He's hanging out at a girl we just met a few days ago."
"Really now?" Candy raises an eyebrow at the biker after this was mentioned to her. "I'm guessing Tim's finally got a girlfriend, huh?"
"Well, no, it's not a date. Tim constantly told me that it wasn't." Chaz then sat back down on the stool he was previously sitting on, before continuing to explain what's going on to the blonde tomboy. "All that Tim is doing is just going over to her house to have dinner with her and to watch a movie, and that's it."
Candy could only scoff at what Chaz was telling her. "No offense, dude...but that sounds like a date to me. Even Sapphire can tell you that those two are on a date if you told her about this."
"Whatever...I'm not going to argue with you about this." Chaz then turned around to take a sip of his beer. "Besides, I only came here to try to relax after how terrible this entire week has been, and maybe even try to find a new girlfriend here too. The last thing I need right now is to get into an argument over something that's literately got nothing to do with me anyway."
"Right...sorry about that...I probably should've taken that into account." Candy then sat down in one of the stools beside the biker, before reaching out a hand to pat him on the shoulder. "Well, regardless, just remember that me, Sapphire, and Zack are on your side on this one. We may also be friends with Summer, but she should've been upfront and broke up with you rather than cheat on you..." She then cringed, unsure if Chaz would've appreciated her saying that either. "...Granted, her breaking up with you out of the blue would've been just as heartbreaking, but at least it would've been a lot more honest than her cheating on you." The blonde tomboy then faces forward, now looking at the crowd of people that were still on the dance-floor ahead of them. "Also...there are other fish in the sea, especially here. Most of the girls that I've seen around here are either single, sexy, or both. Also, if you can't find a girlfriend here, I'm pretty sure Sapphire will help you out with trying to find one."
Chaz just stared at Candy for a few seconds, before scoffing out a hint of laugh. "Well...thanks, I appreciate it, Candy." He simply said, before taking another sip of his drink. "As for finding a new girlfriend, I think I'm going to find one on my own. The last time I tried to ask Sapphire for advice on dating, it didn't exactly went well for me and Summer."
"Alright. I was only saying that just for you to consider." She then stood up from her stool, patting Chaz on his shoulder one last time. "Anyways, I think I'm going to find Sapphire now. She's probably wondering where I am in here right now."
"Alright. It was nice seeing you again, Candy."
"Same to you too, Chaz."
Chaz just remained sitting there at the counter, as Candy headed off into the crowd of people to find her girlfriend around here. Once his friend was gone, he decided to check his phone once again just to see if Crystal had texted him back during the conversation that he was previously in. Right before he could do that though, he actually heard the rebel girl shouting for him a few steps away from him.
"Hey Chaz, dude! I'm here!" Crystal shouts from nearby.
Chaz immediately turned his head towards where he was heading Crystal's voice, seeing her walking over to him right now. Instead of her usual outfit, she appeared to be wearing a black leather jacket with a dark purple jumpsuit underneath, as well as black boots and black sunglasses to go aloud with it. All that Chaz could do is just stare in awe at what the rebel was wearing, as he had never seen her in this kind of outfit before, especially whenever they were here at Club Candy. Once she approached him, Crystal sat down in one of the stools beside him which was finally when the biker spoke.
"There you are! I've been wondering where you have been all day!" Chaz said, before pointing at the jacket that she was wearing. "Also...when did you get that outfit? I don't think I've ever seen you wear that before."
"I've had it for awhile. I thought it would be a cool outfit to have whenever I get my own motorcycle later on." Crystal told him, as she tugged on the collar of her jacket. "As for me not answering your calls or texts...let's just say I've been giving it some time to think about things to myself...and after being humiliated at your house, I felt like a night like this would make up for all of that bullshit."
"I'm...guessing Katie's not with you right now?"
"Katie? Oh no, she's not with me right now." Crystal then turned her glare towards the biker next to her. "You genuinely think after everything that went down at the hangout this morning, I'm going to invite her here? I'm better off here without her." She then glared forward as the vendor at the snack bar handed her a can of beer. "Some help she was, anyway..." She mutters, before taking a sip of the beer she had received.
"Damn...it would've been awesome to have Katie here too. I was meaning to apologize to her about everything that happened this morning."
"Well, you're out of luck there. You can visit her later or something." Crystal then gave the man a smirk, before patting him on the back. "Either way, it's just the both of us tonight. Let's focus on having fun, shall we?"
All Chaz could do is shrug his shoulders at that being asked to him. "I guess..." He took one more sip of his drink, finishing it up in the process. "So...what do you want to do here?"
"I'm not sure. I'm not exactly good at dancing, but...hey, for now, we could just sit here and enjoy right now as it is, right?"
Chaz just shrugged again, before leaning on the counter behind him. "Sure...why not?"
"Awesome." The two continued to sit there, and watched everybody around the club dance and enjoy themselves around here.
Meanwhile...
With Tim and Pinky...
Despite the fluke that happened moments prior, the rest of the cooking went by exceeding better. Once both the baked potatoes and carrots were finished, Tim collected themselves their plates, forks, and drinks as Pinky brought the two trays of food over to her dining room table. After everything was set, both of them proceeded to eat their meals.
While they were eating, Tim just continued to stare at everything that was in Pinky's house...however, this time, he was mainly just staring at the kitchen now. Like everything in the living room, it too was all neat and clean, and so fancy too. Like everything in the living room, everything was blue, yet Tim could still make out what everything in this room was. He already knew ahead of time that Pinky was rich, but regardless, he was impressed by all of this nonetheless.
"Hey Tim, do you mind me asking you something?" Pinky asked the blue-haired man across the table from her. Unfortunately for her, she noticed that her friend was distracted by the things in her house, causing her a giggle a bit. She then held out an arm towards him, snapping her fingers to get his attention. "Hey! Tim!" She said a little louder.
Tim shook his head, finally snapping out of his daze. "Oh! Sorry, Pinky!" He said, a little sheepishly. "Um...what were you asking?"
"I was just wondering what movie you wanted to watch, that's all." Pinky then took a sip of her drink, before placing her cup aside. "Before you came here, I was thinking that we could watch 'The Greatest Showman' together, but...I was wanting to see if you wanted to watch something different instead."
Tim could only shrug his shoulders with a smile on his face. "I don't mind that. Me and Chaz actually saw that in the theaters last year..." He then chuckles a bit, before shaking his head. "Well...Summer actually kept on pestering him to go see it with her, I mean..." He stopped shaking his head, before smiling at the girl in blue. "But...I actually liked it. So I'm totally cool with us watching that tonight."
"That's good to hear."
After a couple more minutes had passed, Tim and Pinky had finished their meals. Tim headed off to the living room, as Pinky brought their empty plates over to the sink so that she can clean them later. She didn't place the cups into the sink, just in case either of them ended up getting thirsty while watching the movie. Pinky brought their cups over to her coffee table, then proceeded to place the Blu-Ray disc she's been carrying into the DVD player that was on the TV stand. Afterwards, both of them sat down beside each other on the couch and silently watched the movie together.
After about an hour had passed...
Without warning, a knock suddenly was heard at the front door. Both of them were caught off-guard by this, especially Pinky, who wasn't expecting anyone to stop by her house tonight. She could wonder who is even here at this moment. The only person who she knew wasn't here was BeeBee, since the girl was busy at her house taking care of her pet rabbits as usual whenever it was nighttime. Whoever it was, Pinky stood up from the couch and made her way over to the front door to see who it even was.
"Just wait here, Tim." Pinky told her new friend. "I'll go see who it is."
"Alright." Tim said as he just remained sitting on the couch.
Pinky went over to the front door and opened it for whoever was outside. When she did, her annoyed look instantly became a look of surprise upon seeing who it was standing out there on her front porch. The person was a man with well-combed blonde hair with a long-sleeved white dress-shirt and a beige plaid sweater-vest over it, as well as dark brown dress pants. Of all people who could be standing outside her house, she honestly couldn't believe that it was him.
"P-Preston?!" Pinky asked, still surprised to see her best friend's boyfriend standing there at her front door.
"A pleasure to see you again, Pinky." Preston said with a smile, while bowing his head at her.
