Rating:
In case you missed it, this fic is rated R for strong sexual content later on. From now on, the rating will give too much away. I'll tell you if it's R or not but other than that, you'll have to read on…this chap is not R.
Notes:
Hugs and Kisses to all for your reviews!!! Really, I appreciate this. You all keep me writing, I was thinking of killing this fic when I was in a really bad mood a few days back…but I just couldn't cuz that'd mean and I'd be hurting all of you. I think. Anyway, RD said I could use her idea, so now we launch into a three-part sub-fic. Or is it 4?. Chapter 1 now commences…
Much to DesireTo Rachel's house we go!(Part 1 of 3 or 4)
My name is Rachel…And I was dwelling on how fun it would be to have the boys over…hehehe…but really, Tobias, Jake, Marco, and Ax have never had a sleepover experience. But boys will be boys, so me and Cassie can't give them all makeovers. Still, I know other ways of having…fun. School was almost out. I was in civics. Hah! People actually think civics is a life skill. How's civics gonna help us in World War III?? Oh well, five minutes to go. Tobias flashed a smile from out the window. I flashed one back. Wait…Tobias?? I couldn't believe it. Was he taking such a big risk just to say hi?!?!? It was all I could do to hold myself back from going out there and schooling him. Naturally, I didn't notice when the teacher asked me why the President couldn't declare war. "Be quiet, I'm dealing with something here!" "Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh…" went the class. I snapped out of my trance. The teacher was glaring at me and Cassie was staring, appalled. "Um, sorry…I was thinking about something." "Well, what was it. If it's so important, you can share it with the class." Little giggles and snickers flew around the class. Why lie, I thought. "I was just thinking about my boyfriend, Mrs. Cain." Cassie gave me an approving grin. "Well, don't let it happen again. And answer the question." "What was the question again?"" "Why can't-" The bell rang. "Class, we will continue our study on the three branches of government later. I shot out of the door.
Tobias smiled when he saw me running towards him. Too bad he didn't see my face until it was too late. "Hey, Rachel. What's…Rachel? What are you…Agh!!!" Tobias began running, but he was too slow. I tackled him. The angry cries soon turned into bundles of laughter. "Hi, Rachel. I'm glad to see you too." I giggled a little. "Yeah." I became verrry serious. "Now why did you do that. I almost got detention!" Tobias looked a little surprised. "You weren't worried about me getting caught?" I giggled a little more. "Not as much as I was worried about getting detention." Tobias looked hurt. "I'm just kidding." I kissed him. "Look at the two lovebirds!" Marco. Ruining our moment again. I gave Tobias an encouraging look. We both tackled Marco at the same time. "AAAAAHHH!!! Attacked by the two things from planet birdylove!!!" We all started laughing. Jake and Cassie walked up. "Look at those three. You can't take them anywhere." Tobias and I straightened up. Marco stayed down, stunned by our sudden move. I put my arm around his waist and gave him another kiss. "Well, you can't take Marco anywhere." "Agreed"
Cassie decided to talk. "Jake, why can't we ever kiss?" Jake's ears turned red. "Umm…I don't…umm…" "Aw, come on, Jake! Do what I'd do in the same situation." Marco was up. "Ok…" Jake gave Cassie a quick peck on the cheek. "Honey, you call that a kiss?" "Why'd you call me hon-" Cassie pulled Jake into another kiss. The two of them fell over and rolled down the small hill by our school. "Tobias, we can't let them outkiss us!" I grabbed Tobias and started frenching him. We didn't fall over. "Ooh, looks like the Jake-man has some competition!!!" Jake stumbled up the hill. "Be quiet, Marco."
(AN-That whole kissing thing with Jake and Cassie was for JCTigerwolf4e. Kudos and credits go to whosoever besides JC can guess what her sn stands for.)
"Well, shall we go?" I asked the group. "Not yet. I gotta get my stuff from my house. I'll be there later." "Ditto." "Ditto." So Marco, Jake, and Cassie split for their houses. "Tobias, do you have anywhere to go?" "Only to get Ax. Besides that, no." We walked to the dumpsters and morphed bird. A few minutes later, we spotted Ax galloping towards the school. Ax!! Don't go to the school. Remember, Chapman is a Controller. Just morph your northern harrier and join our demented bird club. Ax morphed and flew up to us. "Us" being a half-mile away. One by one, we landed in my window.
I'll be back. I gotta go get my clothes from the school roof." Ax had already demorphed, and was starting to morph to his human form. "What was the purpose of flying here if you just have to return to your educational facility? Eey. Cility." I was already remorphing. I don't know. Tobias, hide in my closet. Remember, Jordan will recognize you. Ax, sit tight. Tell Jordan you're my friend from school and I had to talk to my teacher about something. Twenty minutes later, I walked back in the house with all my stuff. Jordan ran up to me and gave me a sidelong look. "Rachel, do you have a new boyfriend?" "No, why?" "There's a weird looking guy up in your room. Forget weird looking, he was just plain weird." "Now that's not nice. Anyway, you know I'm gonna have some friends over for a sleepover, right?" "Yeah…" "Well, Jake and Marco are coming over, and they'll probably want to play your video games. Is that ok?" Jordan got a scary look in her eyes. "Sure, if Marco's gonna be there. And Jake too, of course." I walked back up to my room. "All right, now we just have to wait."
A little later, everyone was over. We had the normal pizza dinner, and Jordan crushed Marco and Jake in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Me, Tobias, Cassie, and Ax talked while Marco and Jake were being mauled. Quite a long time, since the three of them started playing at 6 and it was now almost 11. Once my mom called Jordan up to go to bed, we all sat in our bean bag chairs around the TV, which was currently showing an old rerun of some James Bond movie. "Hey, can we watch something else?" "Sure, Marco." I grabbed the remote and turned the TV off. "Let's watch a blank screen. No, wait. I have a better idea." I pulled a deck of cards from my pocket. Let's play poker. Jake instinctively grabbed his pocket. Sorry, cous. I forgot my wallet at home." I smiled that wicked grin. Tobias looked tuned in. Marco was lamenting over the loss of TV radiation. Ax looked like he was ready to take notes. Cassie already knew, and was suppressing a laugh. "Gentlemen and lady…s, the name of the game is strip poker."
Tobias and Jake looked absolutely shocked. Marco looked smug, like he was the total master of cards. Cassie burst out laughing. Ax began to talk. "Rachel, what is this game you call strip poker?" Marco answered for me. "Ax man, it's a game where we take numbered pieces of paper and try to get them in a specific order to win. It's played in several rounds. The way I know how to play, the person who has the lowest score loses. Since this is strip poker, they'd be taking off one article of clothing." Jake leaned in to whisper to Marco while Ax continued to interrogate me. "But if humans wear this clothing for protection, why would they take it off?" "Ax, humans are a very strange species. By the way, Jake told me to tell you to make sure you're wearing shoes, socks, pants, boxers, and a shirt. At least. If you have a watch, chain, ring, necklace, or anything else, that'll give you an advantage." "But Marco, why would I have any of these useless items? Besides the necessities, of course." "Because, Ax man, you don't want to get naked." "But is that not the point of this game?" We all groaned a little.
(AN-Time becomes important here now. From now on, you all will be informed of the time whenever something major happens)
Time-11:00 PM
We all sat around the table. "Rachel, are we playing 5- or 7- card draw?" "5." I turned off all the lights and put a lantern in the center of the table. "Everybody ready?" One by one, they all replied with a simple "Yep." I surveyed the situation. From right to left, the seating chart was me, Tobias, Ax, Cassie, Jake, and Marco. Great. I was sitting next to Marco. Even more troublesome, I was sitting next to Tobias. Now THAT could cause problems…Oh well. I dealt out the cards…
(AN-I was gonna end it here, but I jus couldn't. Lucky you. By the way, they're playing a demented 5-card draw. If you have like a two pair and a straight like 2 sixes, a seven, and two fives, you have two pair AND a straight. If that makes any sense.)
And life was lookin' pretty good for me. I had three aces, a king, and a two. "Two." I traded in the king and the two and pulled out two more cards. Another king and a queen. "Three." Marco drew three new cards. "One." Tobias traded in a card. "Four." I stared. "Jake, you can only draw three." "Ehh…Oh yeah." Jake took a card back and drew three. "Five." Ax, if you can't trade in four, why would you be able to trade in five?" "I can do whatever I want because I cannot get any satisfaction." "That's I can't get no satisfaction, Ax man." "Yes. I can't get no satisfaction. Although by your language, that is grammatically incorr-" "Ax, just draw." Ax drew three cards. "Cassie, you drawing?" "No, I'm fine." We all put down our cards.
I had a full house, pair, three of a kind, and straight. Marco had a pair and a straight. Jake had a straight. Tobias had a pair. Cassie had a…ROYAL FLUSH?!?!?! Ax had a full house. I think it was sheer dumb luck. "Cassie, are you cheating?" "No, of course not." Marco butted in. "Well Tobias, it looks like you lost." Tobias smiled and took off his…watch…
~End~
Author's Ending Note
That chap kinda sucked, but that was cuz I was rushing. Anyway, now I need your input on a more technical thing.
1) Continue the active descriptions of cards help by people and add a few chapters
2)Make a chart for every round with little snippets of conversation(BORING!!!)
By the way, even if you all choose choice 2, I'll still find a way to fill that space in before the battle. So whatever, and I need all of you to include IDEAS in your reviews!!! Thanks.
