Spin The Bottle By: Crystal Words
Recap: Then Joe, looking exactly like the smug, snobby jock that he was, raised his hands high in the air, climbed on top of a table, and then, without warning, jumped off the table, flipped twice, and landed doing a handstand seventeen feet away from the table where he started. All while screaming,
"LET THE PARTY BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
That was the moment when four people chose to rush in through the huge door.
Chapter 4:
Syaoran, Eriol, Tomoyo, and Sakura (AN: Crystal was right!) rushed through the door, their clothes crumpled, hair messed up, bags flying behind them. Everyone stared at them (wouldn't you?).
"Um, hehe." There was a long silence following Sakura's (very futile) attempt to break the (very hard) ice.
"We aren't late by any chance. are we?" Syaoran cautiously asked.
"Of course not! Come in, come in! You came right before the party started!! Oh yes, I need to talk with the four of you in private, now, come on, come on; bags go here. you can fix your hair later, Miss. we need to talk!" Joe said, already pushing them into a small room.
"Alright. I understand that this is your first time at a Palace party. But your invitations CLEARLY STATED that you MUST come on time. Didn't it?" Joe asked, looking very mad and flustered.
"Uh...we didn't get an invitation." Eriol said, looking uncomfortable.
"WHAT? HOW COULD YOU NOT GET AN INVITATION! IF YOU DIDN'T GET AN INVITATION... HOW DID YOU GET HERE? WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT THE PARTY?"
There was yet another uncomfortable silence. Our four heroes and heroines stood there, looking very scared. "Maybe we should go." was what Sakura was thinking. But, Syaoran got to say something first.
"Your, um, cousin, uh, what's-his-face, Steve! He invited us. He didn't give us an invitation, just told us to come. Eriol here," And Syaoran gestured to Eriol. "He typed it up on his little, um..." "Palm Pilot?" Eriol suggested. "Yeah! That's it!"
"Oh. Well, then you can get on to the party. Have fun!" Joe said, looking crestfallen. It would've been fun to beat up the brown-haired guy. Oh well, there's always next time! He thought, and headed out of the room to go yell at Steve.
~*~
Of course, leaving four highly toxic souls in the same room is well, dangerous. But Joe didn't know that! (Joe doesn't know anything!)
"Sakura, do these guys look anything but familiar?" Tomoyo muttered, while the four stared at each other.
"Of course! The black-haired one is cute!" Sakura whispered back. She giggled, and almost said hi. If it weren't for something that passed her mind.
"Oh. My. God. No. I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gonna kill the brown-haired guy." Sakura whispered, giving Syaoran a dirty look.
"Why?" "Well."
~*~
"Hey, dude, why'd she just give me a dirty look?" Syaoran asked (very quietly!).
"No idea. But she's cute." Eriol said, looking very mischievous.
"Who?" "The black-haired one! Duh!" Eriol nodded towards Tomoyo.
"No she isn't!" Syaoran said. "The brunette, now she's a catch!"
~*~
"Oh. My. God. I think he's checking you out! He has no idea what he did to you!" Tomoyo whispered. "I think this is going to be a very fun night, Tomoyo." Sakura said, thinking of everything she could do to this guy.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_Meanwhile, back at the REAL party-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- _-_-
Joe walked in. The party, which had been alive a few seconds ago, game to a stop. Everyone stopped, looked, and listened. They were all experienced in coming to on of the "Joe-man's" parties. They knew that the only way to stay cool was to be with him, and stay with him; you had to come to his parties. And to stay invited to his parties. well, you had to be good.
(A/N: What a stuck-up dude!)
AS I WAS SAYING.
Everyone stopped, looked, and listened.
"ATTENTION ALL! You must now stop socializing. I will now announce the schedule for the party! Pay attention! My cousin and colleague in this party's organization is handing out flyers of the schedule. Please pay attention!!!
"First, we check out the WONDERFUL DESIGN of the NEW, IMPROVED Blue Palace. Next, we eat. Our cooks have prepared a wonderful meal-" "CONSISTING OF PIZZA, CHIPS, AND DIP!" Steve cut in. A few people giggled and snickered.
"Yes. Now, as I was saying. We eat. After that, we play games. Our choices are: Spin The Bottle-Max Version 3, of course; Taboo; or Truth or Dare." Joe paused, taking a breath, looking at the crowd's reaction.
"SPIN THE BOTTLE, ALL THE WAY! WHOO!!!!!!!!!!!" Yelled a person (who's name happened to be Crystal!).
Joe smiled. "That is all for this party. But of course, the games will lead up to sleep. SOME type of sleep." He smiled mischievously.
"Yea, yea, cut the talk, start the PART-TY!" Someone yelled.
And the party began, leaving our heroes/heroines staring at each other uncomfortably in the other room.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-Back at the small room.. -_-_-_-_-_-_- _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
There was a HUGE awkward silence. No one conversed for about, fifteen minutes. Sakura kicked at the air with her foot, Tomoyo looked around, Syaoran skimmed a book about perpetual motion, and Eriol hummed the first seven notes of "It's a Small World After All" incessantly.
Until.
"SHUT UP ERIOL!" Syaoran yelled. Tomoyo giggled. Hey! She couldn't help it if she it was funny! But Sakura jabbed her in the stomach, so Tomoyo shut up.
"Um. Hey. I'm Eriol. And you two are.?" Syaoran said, winking at Eriol. Eriol smiled a mischievous grin, and said, "I'm Syaoran."
Sakura half-smiled and said, "Sakura. This here," She pointed to Tomoyo. "is Tomoyo. Say, ya wanna get down to this party? I came here to have fun, and fun is what I'll have." Sakura said, and headed down the stairs.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*The Party*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Meanwhile, back at the real party, people were eating here, laughing there, making out in that corner ("Hey! Wait till the games start!" Joe whined), laughing at the TV. yes, just another rich person's party. (AN: I've never been to one, so I'm collaborating imaginiativity and TV)
Sakura and Tomoyo walked into the party, giggling and whispering excitedly about what to do to "Eriol". Syaoran and Eriol, walked into the party, mind- speaking (AN: I made up a power they have) about how to snag a few dates at the party.
::Dude. this party stinks on ice!:: Eriol mind-spoke to Syaoran.
::What? No way! It's just getting started! I mean, it's a rich party! There should be some good thing happen!:: Syaoran mind-replied.
::Hey man, whatever you say.:: Eriol shrugged, and tried to get into this conversation the jocks were having. But they kept on pushing him out.
"Eriol will never learn." Syaoran muttered, and helped himself to some punch, earning himself a date next Thursday.
With Tomoyo Daidouiji.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Deciding not to end, so flip to Sakura~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura looked around uneasily. Tomoyo was smiling at a cute guy at the punch bowl. and passed a paper to him. Sakura realized it was her number. Tomoyo had gotten a date. Something Sakura hadn't had in a while. Tomoyo was so. so different from her.
Why does she get all the attention? All the boys jump on her! Hello? I'm here too ya know! But I can't blame her too much. Sonomi does have some cash to spend on her only daughter. So what if she buys some skimpy tops, and boys fall for that? I'm sure if I got hands on her minis I could make some heads turn! Maybe at this party! Hey.this party could be just the thing I need for a new image!
Sakura finished her line of thought. and started wondering all the different things that could happen. She decided to try it out. But how?
"Hey. you new here too?" A guy asked her. Sakura smiled. He seemed nice.
"Yea. when will it get interesting? I nothing's happening. but my cousin just got a date!"
"Really? I just snagged some 'jock talk'. Turns out a guy got this girl pregnant, but." Eriol shared his 'information' with Sakura.
Sakura thought he was funny.
Eriol thought she was sweet.
"Hey, Sakura. (AN: They'd told each other their names) You wanna go for pizza on Thursday?"
Sakura was taken aback, but accepted. "Sure! Why not?"
There was a silence, but not an awkward one. A. happy silence. Eriol was happy, he'd gotten a date. He wanted to check on his cousin. but how to leave? Maybe he should ask a question and then go talk to Syaoran.
"Where's that guy your cousin's dating?"
"Oh, he's still at the punch bowl! See. him. With the brown hair. Wait, now he's getting some chips." Sakura pointed at the guy.
"Where is-Oh. cool."
It didn't quite make it to Eriol's head that Syaoran had asked his date's cousin out on a date.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^It's the end of the chaaaaapie!!~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Oh wow! I never realized it'd end like this! I just started typing.but I'm so sorry for the delay! And I might not be updating for a while. exams are starting up, and my parents are putting me on an ted to write this story. I decided to open up my "Saved Ims" folder and see if I could do anything with what I wrote.
Hey guys! I wanna know whether any of you wanna be my beta! I want one beta, and if the number of reviewers rise. then I'll get another. For more info, e-mail me.
