Chapter Four: The Party
(Part one: Rumors, Miscommunications, Lies, and Distortions; you know, the good things that happen at Parties...)
The hours waiting for the party to start seemed to have lasted forever; Trunks and Pan went into the rec. room to entertain themselves with a game of pool; Marron, Jake, Bura and Uubu went back into the kitchen to 'finish' their assortment of drinking games while Goten and Paris stayed in the living room with Brian the sound guy/disc jockey. (*Long sentence...~wipes the sweat off her face in one dramatic motion and sighs~ Onward with the story!*) As the seconds slowly ticked by, people started to show up one after another, after another, after another, after another until most of the living room was filled and the crowd had to expand to other parts of the house.
~In the Kitchen~
Bura pushed her way through the herd of people who had just flocked into the kitchen in one swift moment. Once she made it back to the table where most of her close friends sat, realization hit her. "Marron!" She nearly screamed. "Where's Pan! We need to be watching her!"
Suddenly boisterous music filled the house making it nearly impossible for anyone to hear anything that anyone was saying and/or yelling directly at your face. "What?!" Marron yelled back.
"What?!" Bura screamed.
"What?!" Uubu bellowed back.
"I can't understand you! Speak louder!" Jake hollered, but to no avail. (*Don't you just hate it when that happens?*)
Marron rubbed her forehead out of frustration, 'if this is how all of tonight is going to be, I think I may lose it!' she thought to herself as she signaled for her friends to wait right where they were. Bura, Jake and Uubu all nodded, understanding what she meant and continued playing their 'game.' She forced her way through the obstinate crowd as quickly as she could and returned with a notebook and a pencil.
"What's that for!?" Jake yelled.
"What!?!" Marron shrieked before remembering the reason why she went through all that trouble. She swiftly jotted a few notes on the paper and handed it to Bura to pass around; it read:
"Gotta find Pan! Make sure she isn't drinking or smoking!! For the well being of hers and Trunks' child!! Would somebody please think about the children!?!"
Jake snickered at his girlfriend's note and replied:
"Divide and conquer, then?"
Marron, Bura and Uubu all nodded before setting off in different directions, each on their own expedition, but with the same mission.
"Katie! Come look at this!" A rather scrawny looking teenage boy yelled over the music while tugging at his girlfriend's arm.
"What?!" She screamed hoarsely at her boyfriend.
"Look!" He said rather happily as she shoved the notebook in her hands. The music emanating from the living room suddenly got quieter, making it possible to for there to be conversations to be heard.
"PAN IS PREGNANT WITH TRUNKS' CHILD!" Katie yelled back a little louder than she had meant to. All at once the entire room went dead silent and all heads swung around in the direction of the voice. Katie shoved her hands in her pockets and started whistling before walking away as if nothing had happened.
"Pan's pregnant?" a variety of voices chimed at different times with a rare and over excited "IT ALL MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW!"
~In the Living Room~
"Goten!" Marron called across the room to the retreating form. He spun around, nearly knocking over a drunk freshman and his tag a long buddy from Jr. High. She tried to suppress a giggle as the poor kids' drinks spilled all over their clean clothes that their mother must have bought for school.
"Sorry." Goten apologized sheepishly before making his way to where Marron stood watching him. "Yes?"
"What are you up too?" Marron asked almost forgetting about her task.
"Nothing much, I was just about to pull Paris aside and have a little talk with her." He stated sadly, but kept on a fake smile for good measure as he eyed Paris who was dancing in front of a bunch of guys.
"Oh." Marron sighed, then suddenly remembered why she came to see him. "Have you seen Pan or Trunks? It's kind of a dire emergency that we find them!" she said frantically.
"What? Why?" Goten asked suspiciously.
"You don't know?" She asked disbelievingly.
"Know what?!"
"That Pan might possibly be in fact..." She trailed off and started to shuffle her feet.
"She might be what?"
Marron cleared her throat and summoned all her courage. "Pregnant." She squeaked quietly.
Goten chuckled lavishly as she looked at Marron then to Paris then up the stairs. "That's really funny Marron, nice one. You almost had me going there for a second."
"It...wasn't...a...joke." Marron squeaked once more. He didn't say anything after that, he didn't have to; his ki signature (that sky rocketed) spoke for itself before he set off up the stairs to find Trunks and his niece. It was blatantly obvious to Marron that he wasn't too thrilled about this and if she didn't find Trunks before he did, the party may indeed let them say good-bye to summer with a bang.
~In the Rec. Room~
Trunks was dancing, or more like stripping on top of the pool table; Pan was nowhere to be seen. Girls of all ages were gathered around, sticking one to five dollar bills in his black silk boxers (the only thing he had on), his pants and shirt lay forgotten by his feet.
"I leave the room for two seconds and he just has to take off all his clothes." Pan sighed melodramatically after she got over her fit of laughter. She watched as another girl gave him another shot of whatever it was he was drinking and that's when she decided it was time to stop this separate little party from going any further. Pan jumped up on the table and covered him up with his 'spare' clothes, much to the dismay of the other girls. "Baby, sweetie, I think you just might be intoxicated." She laughed. He stumbled a little, but she caught him with ease.
"I'm dancing, can't you see that I'm making money? This is my new job!" he slurred.
"So you're a male stripper now? Whatever happen to becoming the president of Capsule Corp.?" She asked she helped him off the pool table.
"Oh hogwash!" Trunks chuckled.
"Hogwash, huh?" Pan chimed. "You may have allure, but you're not that charming."
"Am too!"
"Prove it to me then." She challenged or more like manipulated. She knew what she wanted, when she wanted it and exactly how to get it. She grabbed the bottle of Tequila that was circling the room and dragged Trunks into the hall. "Where to?" she asked seductively.
"I believe we still have the attic and the basement..." Trunks grinned mischievously, remembering the time he told Goten about the whole 'map' thing, which was in fact a cover up story. "Attic's closer..." he mentioned.
The pair just happened to slip out of sight just as Bura turned the corner. She walked inside the room and asked the question that she must've asked a million times so far this evening. "Has anyone seen Trunks or Pan?" When no one answered her the way she wanted to be answered her face filled with frustration as she stomped her feet. "I'M GETTING SICK OF THIS! UUBU, WHERE ARE YOU!" she yelled dramatically, slurring some of her words before she left the room.
One of the girls stopped the music that was being played and turned to her friend. "What did she just say?"
"I think she just said that she had Syphilis and that she had to go tell her boyfriend Uubu that he has it too, or something like that." The other girl guessed.
"Syphilis?" Another girl screeched in a disgusted, high-pitched tone. "Isn't that like a STD or something like that?"
"Yeah, pretty gruesome one at that." Another girl pointed out.
"Ewwie!!!!! Bura and Uubu have Syphilis!! Bura and Uubu have Syphilis!!"
"What!?" A passer-by-err in the hall stopped dead in his tracks and poked his head inside the room. "Bura and Uubu have Syphilis? Gross!" he said rather loudly. "I gotta go tell someone! Oh hey, did you hear about Pan and Trunks?"
A/N: I know it's a bit short, but work with me here people!!
Well there you have it!! Rumors, Miscommunications, Lies, and Distortions; you know, the good things that happen at Parties... There's more to come in Chapter Four, Part 2: The Continuance of Distortion and the people who fix it!!
Thanks again to the following for reviewing!!!
