Chapter Four


Nova and Hikaru sat on the bar drinking. Nova swung her silky legs back and forth and stared at the ice in her cup.

"You and I are the only ones not gettin' any action." Nova complained with a sigh.

"Is it really such a bad thing?" Hikaru replied.

Nova gave Hikaru a look that said 'like hell it is'.

"It's nice being single, and not worrying about wearing make up and remembering to wear all your clothes." Hikaru said.

Nova didn't look convinced.

"Well if I had a boyfriend then you wouldn't want him seeing you in your leopard print underwear, right?" Hikaru asked.

"That's all a load of bunny fluff and you know it." Nova replied. "Well maybe except for the leopard print underwear."

Hikaru laughed and let her shoes slip from her feet and on the black floor.

"We don't even get hot one night stands..." Nova said as her eye brows went up and down.

Hikaru laughed. "You're turning into a more attractive version of Caldina." Hikaru said as she shook her red locks.

Nova raised an eye brow. "Does this mean you find me attractive?"

Nova watched with interest as Hikaru seemed to be lost in thought on the whole issue.

"You're really more of a sister to me." Hikaru replied finally.

Nova smiled. "Good, I don't need you spilling anything to Eagle."

Hikaru clapped her hands over her mouth. "I'd never!"

"You've done it before," Nova pointed out with a smirk.

Hikaru was about to reply when Caldina walked in swinging her purse on one finger while Presea fallowed with her on bag on her shoulder.

"You two always show up at the same time, one might think something was up." Nova said with a grin.

"That we both take the same bus?" Presea answered.

Every, including Hikaru, rolled their eyes.

"No, that maybe the two of you are an item." Nova replied.

Caldina mock gasped and then laughed while Presea's face was one of true shock.

"That's it, laugh while you can," a voice cackled from the shadows.

Or more from the corner of the room by the door. It was a woman dressed in black, a black robe that seemed to be covered in black beads. She had on a lot of white make up, and her nails were about a foot long. She also had the strangest hair.

"Debonair!" Nova gasped as she jumped down from the bar.

Debonair cackled again. "Yes, it's me, your mother's sister. And I'm here to see to it that your club is shut down. Because there's only room for one club here."

Nova's eyes narrowed. "Your club closed three years ago."

Debonair nodded. "But now is the perfect time for a come back."

Nova sniffed. "This club is hoppin'! Babes and hotties, we've got a hot DJ, wicked managers, and music guest that will rip up the floor."

Debonair laughed. "But I have 'Lil Bow-wow."

"'Lil Bow-Wow?" Hikaru pondered.

The rest of the room was silent. Finally Debonair twitched.

"We'll see who's club wins out. Remember my club was GOD."

Caldina nodded. "The Black Gauntlet was quit a club..."
Alcione smacked Caldina with a tray.
Debonair laughed as she left. Soon after her departure Ascot and ViridianCat arrived in the already hot club.

"You need to turn on the air in here," Ascot said as he fanned his face.

"You sure it's not just left over from previous activities?" Caldina asked.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" ViridianCat replied with a wink.

"Hey Lafarga!" Caldina called.

Lafarga stepped into the room.

"Turn on the air before I start meltin' hon!" Caldian called as she wiped her brow.

Lafarga nodded, "No problem darling."

Caldina smiled as Lafarga slipped into the back room. Soon all eyes were on Caldina.

"Are you and he" Nova started.

"Together?" Alcione finished.

Caldina shrugged, "it's more of a casual thing." She admitted.

"I've never known you and a guy to be just casual," Alcione replied as she raised an eye brow.

Caldina swiped her hand over the bar and shrugged. "It is, believe it or not."

Emeruade arrived soon after Lafarga came out.

"Phew!" Emeraude gasped. "Damn is it hot in here."

"The air conditioner has left this world and it's sweaty people behind. In other words, it's broken." Lafarga announced.

Hikaru moaned. "Well, get the fans running and Nova call a repair man!"

Nova hurried off to make the call.

"The band arrives in twenty minutes, I'll play some Jams until then, since we've opened and we've got peeps flooding in." Ascot said.

Hikaru nodded and watched as the building filled with people, including a repair man.

Nova handed Hikaru another iced drink. Hikaru took a big swing and made a face. "Dang this is strong."

Nova laughed. "Of course, I mixed it."

Nova drank down her own mix as she hoped for the air to be fixed.

Lantis and Eagle hung back seeing that neither girl was in a good mood.

Fuu and Ferio joined the room of sweating, bumping and spinning bodies. As the moving lights hit Fuu, a stone on her finger caught Emeraude's eye.

Emeruade yelped and slapped Zagato on the arm. "I told you!"

Fuu and Ferio were already dancing. Exegete and Emeraude made their way over. Emeraude bumped her hip into Fuu's.

"Way to go Fuu-channies!" Emeraude yelled over the blasting music.

Fuu held her hand out exposing her diamond ring.
Umi was on a quest to find Mokona. She just had to talk to him again. She couldn't get over the way he says 'puu' in such a hot tone. It just made her knees week.

Primera on the other hand was avoiding him. She was nervous about moving in with him, it felt like it was just too soon for something like that. And so she was gonna hang back and keep cool... Or not without the AC.

Clef sat alone at a table drinking like there was no tomorrow. He had no hopes of catching Umi's eye, she just wasn't interested. He felt like such a loser...

"You feeling alright?" Presea asked Clef.

He smiled and patted the seat next too him. "I am now."

Presea smiled and blushed.

Ealge watched as Nova drank yet another drink.

"This night isn't going to well..." Nova trailed off as her head spun slightly.

She then realized the back door was opening.
Their band had arrived. The rock band; Orgy was here and ready to play.

"YAY!" Nova yelped as she steadied herself.

As soon was they were on the sage everyone erupted into screams and applause.


She's lost in coma where it's beautiful.

Intoxicated from the deep sleep, deep sleep.
Do you wonder what it's like living in a permanent imagination.

Sleeping to escape reality, but you like it like that.

Guilty by design, she's nothing more than fiction.
She dreams in digital, cause it's better than nothing.
Now that control is gone. It seems unreal.
She's dreaming in digital, cause it's better than nothing
Now that control is gone. It seems unreal.
She's dreaming in digital. She dreams in digital.

And your pixel army can't save you now.
My finger is on the kill switch.
I remember I used to compose your dreams, control your dreams.
And don't be afraid to expose yourself before I shut you down.
You made some changes since the virus caught you sleeping.

Guilty by design, she's nothing more than fiction.
She dreams in digital, cause it's better than nothing.
Now that control is gone. It seems unreal.
She's dreaming in digital, cause it's better than nothing
Now that control is gone. It seems unreal.
She's dreaming in digital. She dreams in digital.

She's guilty by design. (Cause it's better than nothing.)
Now that control is gone. It seems unreal.
She's dreaming in digital. (She's nothing more than fiction.)
Cause it's better than nothing. Now that control is gone.
It seems unreal.
She's dreaming in digital.

Everyone went wild, and just as the song ended the air condition came on sending a blast of cold air.

Hikaru put her face in her hands. Beads of sweat were rolling down her face, and her head was spinning around and around. She moaned and slipped to the floor. Lantis raced to her side.

"To o m u c h t o o driiiiiink." Nova slurred as she laughed.

"Calm down Nova," Eagle warned.

Nova glared at him. "Don't rain on my parade." She snapped.

"Are you the club owners?" A man with short blonde hair asked. (A.N. no one in particular, I made 'im up heh)

Nova nodded. "Yuppers that's us!"

"I'm siting your club for not having the proper cooling in the building, and for being noticeably too drunk to handle the club."

That sobered Nova up. "Uh-oh..."
