Casey
No point in dwelling on it. If they were gonna stare at me, I might as well give them a show. While "Pop" played over the speakers I jumped on stage with a bunch of boys who were acting like idiots and started dancing with them. I didn't wear black make-up to the dance, though my dress was black and zipped up in the back. When I came in in that Shawn's mouth almost hit the floor.
Kyudo
There's was no getting through to my dad, he was lost as he starred at my mom in awe. The plan was to ask them to dance (except Trunks, who was over talking to Mariam during the whole dance) and then find some way to explain what was going on. It was still hard to believe the teenager dancing like THAT with all those boys would grow up to become the proud warrior that was my mother. Oh, and did I metion, Vegeta, Gohan and Goku were there too? You see, my dad was afraid that woman Callisia would show up in this demention. Plus, with a horde of power gems, we weren't sure of how powerful she was.
Darian
I was trying not to laugh when Kyudo's mom ran to the wall where his dad was and pulled him onto the stage. Kyudo ignored me until a big smile crept onto his face. I looked in the direction he was looking...my mom had pulled my dad onto the stage.
Casey
"Lossen up," I suggested after I finally had him on the stage.
"Well sorry if dancing isn't my speciallity."
"Then we'll make it your speciallity. Just go with it, it's not hard. See Siobhan and Alex? They got it," and the were doing great, "just go with the flow, as corny as that shit sounds."
"I'll make you a deal," he shouted over the music, "I'll dance better if you promise not to swear for the rest of the night."
"Deal," I agreed. Before I had a chance to tell him what to do he flipped me over, spun me around and dipped me back.
Siobhan
What the?! How did that guy just pick Casey up like that? Alex had seen this and decided he'd give it a try. I would have protested if I had the chance. But I was spun so fast I thoughted I's create a freakin tornado or something. Mariam was laughing her ass off over there, talking to that Brian kid. Something oddly fermilliar about that whole group. And it was odd how they all can in pairs of twins. But I didn't have time to think about that. I was too busy being spun to death.
Mariam
"So you were saying about you english teacher," Brian reminded me when we were done laughing at fiasco going on on stage.
"Oh you don't wanna hear about it," I warned. I had probably bored him stiff by now.
"No really tell me." And I couldn't help but smile.
Shin
I could hear the slow song start up and turned around to ask Casey to dance. I saw Goten ask Siobhan to dance and Trunks perk up his head when they realized wha was playing. But Casey jumped off the stage, grabbed something off a table and headed to the coat room.
"Where is she going?"
"Coat room," Siobhan explained, "She doesn't like slow songs, so she listens to her CD player alone in the coat room. I tried to get her to stop but she's pretty dead set on doing it. Go ahead, go after."
Kyudo
My uncle and I stood in the same position, arms crossed, agianst the wall. We both watched as my mother fled the room, then watched my dad go after her.
"What is that insane teenage-form of your mother up to know?"
"How should I know? She's one surprise after another."
"This is insane, first she acts look an idiot in front of a group of people, then she leaves. What is wrong with that dimwitted sister of mine?"
"Hey don't insult my mom."
"Oh like your proud of what she is."
"No, not in the least, but after reading her diary I'm very proud of what she became. There are so many things we didn't know about Mom. Like, the day before you guys got her she slit her wrists. Did you know that?"
Shock would be an undestatement if it was describing my uncle's expression. "That's why she chose the uniform with wrist guards. And she said they were training scratches."
"Or that her sister used drugs and tried to get to do them all the time. Since she was nine she's had to fight off her sister. She's been insulted by just about very person in this room. She walked away from countless fights cause she didn't wanna get in trouble. There are so many other things I can tell you about, but I guess you'd have to read for yourself. There's songs in there about being trapped and drowning, none of them are happy. The only happy entries are about Siobhan, Mariam, Sarah or Mat."
"Mat?"
"Don't worry. She's not dating him. He told her about the show you guys are in. They've been friends for a while. Ya see-"
"Hey Kyudo, dance with me," Sarah ordered before she dragged my off to the dance floor.
Casey
I put the CD player on repete 3. My Nickelback CD was in it and this song seemed to make sense all of a sudden. I closed my eyes but jumped when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Shawn slid down the wall and sat so his back was up agiast it like mine.
"What are you listening to?"
"Nickelback."
"Oh really? What song?"
"Um Woke Up This Mourning. It suddenly seems like it explains something."
"Well, what are the words?"
I took a deep breath. For some odd reason the song make me very choked up.
"Now I know why I hide my love from you somedays
No I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along and tour this wall down around me
Looks like you've found me
Now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this mourning"
"And you say this sounds like it explains something?" he asked, excited.
"Yeah, so?"
"Casey, there's somthing I need to tell you."
Siobhan
"Siobhan there's something I need to tell you."
Mariam
"Mariam, I gotta tell you something."
Casey
"What Shawn?"
Siobhan
"What Alex?"
Mariam
"What Brian?"
Casey
"I'm the Supreme Kai"
Siobhan
"I'm Goten."
Mariam
"I'm Trunks
