Specs Chapter.
Specs sat on the ground with three other girls sitting around him. Specs played with his hat nervously. He really wasn't used to strange girls dragging him off, then again he wasn't used big flash's of light transporting them into the future. And to add to the poor boys predicament they where all transported while he was changing. He had thankfully gotten his pants, shoes, glasses, hat and white sleeveless undershirt on. The undershirt showed off the muscles in his arms nicely. So there he sat feeling a bit awkward and wishing he had his shirt. Normally being around girls without a shirt on wouldn't bother him, but he wasn't around just any girls, these were girls from the future and they where just sitting there…..smiling at him…..just smiling.
Specs couldn't take it. He figured if he was going to be stuck with these girls for …well until they could get back then he was gonna know something about them.
"So Uh whats yer names?" He asked looking around at them.
"I'm Illusion." one girl said
"Im Slinks." The second replied happily
"and I" the third started as she jumped up. " am your bitch!"
Specs kinda backed up at this. "Excuse me?"
"I said Im your ermm…" The girl didn't get a chance to finish because Illusion jumped up and clapped a hand over the other girls mouth.
"Heh…. Sorry bout her…." Illusion apologized to a confused Specs.
Specs looked at Slinks who was also backing away from the two.
"What does she mean by 'she's my bitch?' " he asked glancing back at the two ever so often.
"Um well um I don't…..um….." Slinks stuttered she honestly didn't know how to answer him.
"It mean um nothing…just forget about it!" Illusion said quickly letting the girl go.
The girl glared at Illusion as she settled down. Specs just stared at the girl for awhile.
"So do you have a name ? Or do I just call you my bitch?"
Specs waited for a few moments for all three of the girls to stop laughing.
The girl giggled and managed to answer. " My names Whiskey."
"Like the alchahol?" Specs asked brightening up.
"Yup!"
"Any good bars around here?" Specs asked again looking around the park finding nothing but grass and trees.
"Probably but we wont be able to get anything to drink there." Illusion shrugged.
"Why?! We got drinks at bars almost all da time in 1899." Specs said offhandedly.
"We aint old enough." Slinks replied. "Ya need an ID sayin yer old enough and well we aint old enough."
Specs looked at his feet. "oh."
"Fake ID's!" Whiskey said popping up from her seat once more.
"Um Whiskey I don't think……" Illusion began.
"Will that get us a drink in a bar?" Specs asked
Whiskey nodded her head.
"Um where are we gonna find someone to do fake ID's?" Illusion asked quickly hoping to detour them from the bar…..someone had to be the friggin responsible one here.
"We're in New York, you can find guys like that almost anywhere." Slinks said finally piping up.
"Slinks!" Illusion yelped.
"They'r going to do it sooner or later." Slinks pointed out.
"True" Illusion said slowly as if she was thinking it through.
"Great then c'mon lets go!" Whiskey cried popping up from her seat on the ground pulling a reluctant Illusion up behind her. Soon the group made their way out of central park and started searching for a person willing to give 3 girls and an oddly dressed boy a fake ID.
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~ Meanwhile outside the Duracell factory_~_~_~_
"I knew it was here! I knew it !" Blush squealed as she stopped the car outside the abandoned factory.
Muffins smiled evilly knowing that if all went well soon they would soon have all the newsies in their possessions.
In the darkness two girls could be seen exiting the car and sneaking up to the old factory with a kind of paranoia that was totally unnecessary seeing how the factory was the only building on a relatively abandoned highway.
"Um Muffins?" Blush asked hesitantly.
"Keep your voice down! What do you want?" Muffins asked peering around the corner.
Blush pulled at the doors "They're locked."
Muffins sighed and turned to her friend. "Then pick the lock."
"I cant pick locks like this…its… its like a monster lock!" Blush said pointing a the huge medieval looking lock.
Muffins took a look at the lock and pulled a screwdriver from her pocket. "Fine. I'll pick it you just stand guard."
Blush giggled. "There's no one out here but us!"
Muffins was going to retort when the lock clicked and doors swung open. Muffins stood up and smiled to herself. "After you Blush." She said all to proudly as the first girl made her way into the battery factory.
"Um Muffins" Blush asked as she looked around the large dark and all around creepy warehouse.
"What?" Muffins asked as she stepped into the building.
"I just remembered why this place is abandoned.."
"and why is that?"
"Its haunted."
Suddenly the door slammed behind them.
"Uh oh." Muffins murmured from the door.
"What?"
"Its locked"
"eep."
_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ back in New York_~_~_~_~_~_~
A fairly clean man wearing a trench coat and carrying a briefcase approached the group of teenagers.
"Hey." Specs said as the guy moved closer to the group.
"Hey." The guy replied opening his briefcase. "Wanna buy a watch or maybe some sunglass'?"
Specs shook his head, "Uh no thanks,"
"Yeah were looking fer someone who will sell us fake ID's!" Whiskey said as she glanced around looking for a stereotypical version of someone who would sell kids fake ID's (you know the shady character in the ally with a raspy voice and breath that smelled of beer. ) .
"Oh is that all ya need?" The guy said closing the briefcase and putting it down by his feet. "I got those to hang on a sec." with that he reached into his pocket and pulled out a stack of ID cards, and began shuffling through them.
"How many of ya need an ID'S?"
Slinks pipped up from her place next to Whiskey. "Us three and one other, Um Ill go get her." Having said that she ran to the street corner to grab Illusion who was trying to so hard not to be a part of the insanity that was Whiskey that she ended up missing the fact that the others had stopped.
"Alright lets start with you." The man said indicating Specs. "Now let me see. You look like this one here." The man said pulling out an ID and handed it to Specs. The man then turned to Whiskey shuffling through his deck. "Here you are young lady." He handed Whiskey hers and then Turned to a panting Slinks who had just dragged Illusion back as fast as her little feet could take her "Hey this one looks just like ya!" He said grinning. Slinks took her card from him . He turned finally to Illusion. "Hey sweetheart I got just the card for you!" He grinned handing her the card. "How much do we owe you?" Whiskey asked
"Thirty five bucks." He replied simply.
Whiskey pulled out Thirty five dollars and gave it to the man.
"It was a pleasure doing business with ya." The man said as he picked up his briefcase and walked away.
Once the man was far out of site The group took a look at their ID cards.
Specs looked at his card, " It says here dat me names Iva Gotproblems. What kind of name is Iva Gotproblems?"
Whiskey shrugged "I'm now Amanda HugnKiss."
Slinks looked at her card and blushed, "I'm um,…..I don't wanna say what my name is.."
"Oh fer gods sake." Whiskey cried snatching the ID away from Slinks. After a moment Whiskey burst into a fit of giggles. "Your name is Ivana Sleeparound?"
Slinks merely blushed and snatched her ID card back shoving it into her pocket.
Specs smirked, "Dat sounds like a name Medda would use. Hey Illusion whats yers say? "
Illusion looked at her card. " It says my name is Ineeda Cornchip…."
Everyone looked at each other and shrugged, Hey you had to take what you can get.
Four rejections later…. "Dammit that was a good thirty five dollars down the tube!" Whiskey huffed
"Oh I don't like to think of it like that.." Illusion said secretly very pleased .
"Yeah" Slinks said "Id much rather think of the ID Card as a souvenir."
Whiskey still wasn't happy and Specs was a little bummed about not being able to get into a bar.
"Heya People!" a boy shouted as he Ran up to the group.
"Hey slash…whatr ya doin here I though you were with spot and them?" Slinks asked.
"I was but then he started makin out with em under the peir, So I ran off to find something else to do…Can I hang with you guys?" Slash asked giving his best puppy dog eyes look.
"Of course ya can!" Whiskey said pulling him over to her by the arm.
Whiskey Pointed to Specs. "Specs this is Slash, Slash this is Specs."
Both boy nodded a greeting to each other as most guys do, when they are trying to be as macho as possible.
"So what are ya guys doing?" Slash asked as the group returned to their walking.
"Nothin, we tried to get into a bar but they didn take dese fake Ids we got." Specs said walking with his hands shoved into his pockets.
"Weeeeeelllllll I did see this theater playing the Rocky Horror Picture show just down the road." Slash said trying to sound Nonchalant.
"Oh with people in drag and everything?" Illusion asked.
"Yup."
"Hey Whats the rocky horror picture show?" Specs asked with the most adorably lost look on his face.
"It's a really kick ass movie! Trust me you'll love it." Slinks replied .
"Then why not go to this Rocky Horror Picture Show? Sound interesting." Specs said.
"Cool! Ill show ya guys where it is c'mon!" Slash said excitedly as he led the way to the small theater where tons of Frankenfurter and Brad and Janet look-alikes had begun to start entering the theater. The small group of teens bought some tickets and filtered into the theater.
"Wow look at dis place! Its like a party in here!" Specs said in amazment as he looked at the collection of characters around him.
"Yeah aint it great!" Slash exclaimed eyeing all the girls in nothing but slips and bra's.
"Whiskey?" Uh guys where did Whiskey go?" Illusion asked looking around for her friend.
Slinks just Giggled and pointed to the stage.
Low and behold there was Whiskey doing the Time Warp with a variety of other Rocky wanna be's.
"Heya cutie wanna be my love slave?" A tall poorly dressed Franenfurter began hitting on Specs, only to be shoved away by Slinks and Illusion.
"Back off *censored* He's ours." Illusion snarled sending the poor cross dresser looking for his next boy toy.
Specs looked around at the wild party before him and smiled. This was gunna be fun.
