Chapter 4- Midnight Run
It worked out perfectly. Heero eventually listened to Liza, Amanda and Trowa and slowed down a little. Amanda and Trowa said goodbye to Liza and Heero as they got off the bus at Amanda's stop. Wufei didn't end up going into the Chinese Massages and Charms shop, because he pointed out that it was owned by Lin tai- tai meaning it was owned by Mrs. Lin and he didn't want to be dishonoured by asking a woman for anything. Judy finally convinced Jen and her mother (her father was in Slovenia) that Quatre was not her boyfriend (although some of us know otherwise *hint *hint). Duo did Anastasia's Science homework essay, which happened to be on how a particular machine, of your own choice, works (Anastasia ended up handing in a 20 page essay on Deathscythe's controls and functions the next day)
Amanda woke up, bleary- eyed. She could hear yells and the revving of motorcycles outside her window. She checked her watch- midnight. If those people out there didn't shut up, they would wake up her mum and dad, she thought frowning. She opened the curtain to see who it was and was surprised to see Duo, Quatre and Wufei on motorcycles, Anastasia was behind Duo, Judy was behind Quatre laughing her head off and Alice was behind Wufei. She was surprised to see Trowa mounting a fourth motorcycle. She opened the main door.
"Trowa, what's going on?" she asked
"Hey babe!" Duo said, "Get dressed! We're gonna go pick up Heero and Liza and then partaé all night long!" Suddenly Amanda was wide-awake. She dashed inside and came out wearing a mini- dress and some fake leather high heel boots she'd bought at a bargain store for $6. She clambered behind Trowa, "Ok, wrap your arms around my waist and don't remove them until we stop completely," Trowa instructed her. She did as he said and suddenly, they were off. As they weaved in and out of lanes, she could hear Anastasia's yells and Judy's screams. She flinched as Judy screamed particularly loud. Poor Quatre, she thought. They finally reached Liza's house. Heero was already waiting outside with Liza.
"Ready to go?" Quatre asked
"Yep," Liza replied, climbing on behind Heero and they sped off.
"Wooh!" Liza hollered, "This is so fun! I love it!" she yelled, her hair whipping back into her face. She impatiently brushed it away and continued yelling.
Finally, all five of them came to a halt in front of a building.
"The Midnight Run" Anastasia read the enormous sign
"Yeah, the good old Midnight Run," Duo sighed, "You never know who you're gonna meet there. Well, what are you guys waiting for?" he began starting towards the entrance. He pushed the door open and led them inside. The girls wandered in after the guys, who seemed to know everyone there.
"Hey," Amanda spotted a familiar couple at the bar, "isn't that...?"
Duo looked to where she was pointing, "Yeah, that's Gohan and Videl. But let's give them a bit of privacy shall we?" he sniggered, "Wanna dance?" he asked Anastasia as a groovy song came on. Soon Alice managed to coax Wufei onto the dance floor and Judy was dancing with Quatre. Liza and Amanda joined the crowd but Heero and Trowa stayed behind. Suddenly `Ain't It Funny' by J. Lo started. There was a partition in the crowd as Anastasia began to dance with Duo.
"Wow, it's just amazing," Alice said, "I never knew she could dance like J. Lo! Look at those hips move and Duo's just going along with it!"
"She must be drunk," Wufei said shortly. It turned out that in fact, she was drunk and so was Duo. They began to dance again and this time, Amanda and Liza made sure that Trowa and Heero joined in, and they were quite good dancers as it turned out. Later on they found that Liza and Alice were pretty drunk too, as they went around, threatening to kill people with their fingers. Quatre wasn't drunk, as he would never touch alcohol. Heero and Trowa seemed to have built up a resistance to alcohol therefore didn't get drunk. Wufei drank too much and ended up in the toilets, throwing up half the night. Amanda wasn't, as she only ever drank water and Judy was too hyper to drink anything. When all had recovered from their drunkenness, they decided it was time to go home as it was nearly 5 in the morning. Alice and Amanda were already asleep when they reached their home. Wufei carried Alice up to her bed and removed her shoes, tucking her in- party clothes and all.
