Well, here's chapter 2...I like this chapter better so I typed it up fast even though I only got one review so far...oh, well! It's all in good fun! So read and enjoy! Oh, yeah! Naomi and Leon are in this chapter! Yay! And I'm sorry for all those Harry Champ fans out there (I'm personally a big fan of his!) but he's not in this chapter either =( However, he is in chapter 3! Now if I can only get around to typing it all up...well, R&R!

"So, Jamie, what do you think of Dawn?" Leena whispered to Jamie who sat beside her at the dinner table.
"What do you mean, what do I think?" Jamie questioned her.
"Well, do you think she's pretty?" Leena asked. "I guess so…" Jamie answered, looking over at the blond girl. "Why do you ask?"
"No reason." Leena replied quickly, taking a bite from her food. At that moment, Ray gave Bit a flashy smile and a wink. He then turned to Leena.
"So, Leena, are you doing anything tonight?" Leena almost began to choke on her food as she started to cough violently.
"Leena! Are you all right?" Dr. Toros cried, rising from his seat.
"Don't worry, Doc!" Bit exclaimed, patting her on the back. "She'll be fine…" After regaining herself, Leena looked up at Ray with a weak smile.
"Well?" he questioned, with his flashy grin still upon his face. "What do you say? Me and you? Tonight?"
"Well-I-" she stammered. "I'd LOVE to, Ray, but, you see-uh-don't you want to spend quality time with Brad? You two must have SO much catching up to do…" Brad's eyes lit up in fear at this.
"I guess that IS true." Ray said, putting his arm around Brad.
"Oh, no! Don't waste your time with ME." Brad began desperately. "I INSIST you go out with Leena tonight. You two make a…er…really good couple." Leena's eyes grew fierce.
"BRAD." she stated through clenched teeth.
"LEENA." Brad growled back.
"Boy, this is a great meal we're having!" Bit suddenly exclaimed, trying to break the tension between Leena and Brad. "Great job, Jamie!" Leena's eyes brightened at the change in subject.
"That's right! Don't you think Jamie's a GREAT cook, Dawn?" Leena questioned hopefully. Dawn shrugged.
"He's okay, I guess." she replied unenthusiastically. Leena and Bit frowned as Jamie's face grew red with embarrassment and confusion. Brad groaned in disgust.
"So, I hear the Skyler family is quite wealthy." Dr. Toros stated, starting the first normal conversation of the evening."
"Wealthy?" Leena inquired curiously. Bit nudged her with a wide grin.
"I guess it's only the rich psychos who like you, huh?" he whispered obnoxiously to her with a snicker. Leena's face grew wild with fury.
"Bit Cloud!" she whispered fiercely, slamming her foot down on his.
"Ow!" he yelped and then whimpered. Kylie let out a small giggle and a genuine smile, but with a growl and glare from Mikey, it soon disappeared.
"Yes, the Skyler family IS very wealthy." Ray began snobbishly. "But I'm sure Brad's told you all about me, hasn't he?"
"No, he hasn't, actually…" Dr. Toros's voice trailed off awkwardly.
"I guess I must have forgot." Brad lied in agitation. Ray laughed loudly and gave Brad a hard smack across the back, almost causing Brad to fly from his seat.
"That Brad, always forgetting things! It's almost like he WANTS to forget!" He chuckled loudly again, hitting Brad against the back once more. Dr. Toros laughed nervously now, trying his best to smile, an awkward look of worry across his face.
"Ray's going to kill him, you know," Leena whispered to Bit, "if he keeps hitting Brad like that."
"So, Kylie," Jamie began innocently. "How long have you and Mike been going out?" Kylie looked down at her food quickly.
"A year and a half." Mike answer for her, in a low, menacing voice.
"Doesn't she talk for herself?" Jamie questioned. Mike growled and Jamie shrunk back in his seat in fear.
"Be brave, Jamie." Leena said, putting her hand on his shoulder. "Be brave." Jamie only gulped as Mike stared sadistically at him.
"Sometimes…" he finally muttered coldly. Kylie whimpered.
"Well, then," Dr. Toros began to Ray, his voice cracking, "You're brother sure is…delightful."
"Isn't he?" Ray exclaimed. Brad shook his head in disagreement, but Ray didn't seem to notice.
"So, um, what are you all doing tonight?" Dr. Toros continued, voice still breaking.
"Oh, I don't know," Ray began and then swung his arm harshly around Brad, causing Brad to wince in pain. "I thought me and Brad could catch up on old times-"
"That's a wonderful idea!" Dr. Toros exclaimed with too much enthusiasm, rising from his seat. "Why doesn't BRAD take all FOUR of you out into town tonight. You could all go to the local club-"
"DOC," Brad began in angry desperation. "Don't I have something to DO tonight?"
"Don't be silly, Brad!" Dr. Toros persisted. "Go out and enjoy yourself! How about you all leave now? When the night's still young?"
"Dut, Doc-" Brad's eyes darted across the table and set on Leena who was taking a drink at the moment. "Leena!" She spit her drink back into her cup and looked up at Brad with wary eyes. "Why don't you come WITH us?"
"What? Why?"
"BECAUSE," he glanced at Ray and then back at Leena. "You and RAY can get to know each other better."
"Are you crazy?!"
"LEENA."
"BRAD."
"I'll come, too!" Bit cried desperately with tightly shut eyes, in hopes to break up their dispute, though he knew he'd most definitely regret his offer. Both Brad and Leena stared at Bit in utter shock and all Bit could do was shrug weakly.
"That's great! It'll be like a big party, just the seven of us!" Ray exclaimed, slapping Brad hard across the back, causing Brad's stomach to hit into the edge of the table with a thud and a groan.
"Well," Leena began, deciding if she was to suffer, so would everyone. "Why doesn't Jamie come, too?"
"Huh?" Jamie let out in a startled voice.
"You can get to know Dawn more!" Leena explained.
"But I don't want to get to know Dawn more!" Jamie busted out frantically. Mike's eyes then shot toward Jamie with a psychotic glare as he began to growl. And Jamie was almost certain that he hear a bark escape Mike's lips. So, Jamie gulped, let out a whimper, and reluctantly replied, "Sure, I'd love to go with you all."
"That's great!" Ray declared, rising from his seat and forcefully pulling Brad up with him. "Let's get going!"
"I guess it'll be interesting." Dawn stated flatly as she slowly stood up. Mike rose, too, and stared down at Kylie with cold eyes.
"Kylie," he commanded with a snap of his fingers and Kylie shot up immediately. Bit frowned as Leena grimaced at this, but the two rose reluctantly from their seats as well.
"See you all later!" Dr. Toros called joyously as Jamie began to take to his feet.
"Yeah, like that's fair, Doc," he muttered. "Sending us off to suffer while you play with your toy models." But Dr. Toros just smiled pleasantly to himself.
"It's times like these I'm glad I'm not young.

Naomi and Leon sat at the bar, both calmly sipping their drinks. The club was roaring, from people dancing on the dance floor to people chatting and eating at tables. Naomi eyed the door, hoping a certain someone might show up that night.
"Waiting for someone?" Leon asked. Naomi smiled deviously.
"Maybe." she answered, taking another sip from her drink.
"He'll probably show up." Leon stated.
"I hope so." she replied. "The night will be boring otherwise."
The doors of the club suddenly swung open with a bang. Naomi turned to see a tall, large, and muscular blond man with his arm tightly around a very distraught Brad.
"Brad?!" Naomi questioned, startled, though Brad was too far to hear her.
"Who's that guy with him?" Leon asked, equally confused as Naomi.
"I don't know." she answered. Soon, Brad and the very large man were followed by Bit, Leena, and Jamie as well as three other people Naomi didn't recognize. Naomi started toward them, and Leon followed cautiously, a few feet behind her.
"Naomi!" Brad exclaimed, surprised to see her.
"Hi," Naomi began with a cool smile, despite her puzzlement. "And who's this?" She eyed the blond man. Brad scoffed in disgust and managed to push away from him.
"Naomi, this is Ray Skyler. Ray, this is Naomi Fluegel." Brad hastily introduced them without much enthusiasm. Ray gave Naomi a charming grin.
"Naomi, huh?" he began, bending forward in order to look her in the eyes. "That's a pretty name. So…you're a friend of Brad's?" Naomi gave him a sly smile.
"Sort of." she replied mischievously. "We're more than friends, if you know what I mean." She gave Brad a wink. But Brad frowned, wishing she had just given Ray a simple "yes." Jealousy quickly began to fiercely flame in Ray's eyes.
"Oh, I see." Ray began. He hastily and possessively took hold of Brad's arm and Brad winced in pain as he felt his arm begin to bruise under Ray's tightening fingers.
"So, how do you know Brad exactly?" Naomi pondered, not noticing Ray's envious rage and oblivious to the pain Brad's arm was forced to endure.
"We're best friends." Ray informed her defensively. "Ever since we were little. Best friends all our lives."
"Really?" Naomi started with much surprise. "He never mentioned you before." Ray's eyes narrowed with anger as Brad's eyes squinted in pain as Ray's grip grew fiercer.
"He HASN'T, has he?" Ray furiously asked through clenched teeth. Brad bit his lower lip in an attempt to deal with the pain surging through his arm. Ray then glared at Brad. "Brad, can I TALK to you?"
"But, I-" Brad tried to protest, but Ray was already pulling him away.
"See you later, Brad!" Naomi called to him with a wave, puzzlement filling her face. She lowered her arm slowly as Leon took a step beside her.
"What happened?" he asked. Naomi, however, was just as dazed and confused as him.
"I don't know."

"I don't like her." Ray stated firmly, pulling Brad along against his will. His face was full of fury.
"You…don't?" Brad asked.
"No, I don't."
"But-"
"Because I don't!" Ray came to an abrupt halt at this, Brad almost losing his balance in the process. Ray's face, which was enraged, suddenly brightened happily. "Leena!" The two were off again toward Leena, Ray pulling Brad the whole way, his hand still tightly secured around Brad's arm.
"He's so weird!" Leena was telling Leon as they approached. "And he has this sick obsession with-Ray!" Leena exclaimed upon noticing them. "And Brad, too!"
"Hello, Leena." Ray greeted her with a debonair smile.
"Hi, Leena." Brad muttered miserabley. Leon quickly extended his had to Ray.
"My name's Leon," he introduced himself politely. "I'm Leena's brother. It's a pleasure to meet you." After a moment of perplexity, Ray grinned charmingly.
"I'm Ray Skyler." he stated, finally releasing Brad's arm to shake Leon's hand. Brad let out a sigh of relief and rubbed his now bruised arm.
"That's, uh, some grip you got there." Leon said after they released each others hands. He shook his hand a bit in slight pain but continued on smiling politely.
"I know." Ray arrogantly answered and laughed loudly. Brad groaned and Leena smiled nervously. "Dawny!" Dawn approached then, followed by a depressed Jamie. "Are you having fun?"
"Yeah, whatever." Dawn muttered in agitation.
"You know," Ray said, pensively placing his hand to his chin. "You and Jamie make a cute couple."
"Yeah, well, maybe if he wasn't so boring…" Dawn's voice trailed off callously as Jamie groaned in self-pity.
'She keeps insulting me." Jamie told Leena and Leena tried her best to smile.
"I'm sure it will work out…" she lied.
"Why don't you two go and dance?" Ray suggested. Dawn shrugged.
"Whatever. He'll probably suck at it anyway." Jamie groaned again, but he reluctantly followed Dawn anyway.
"Bye, Jamie." Leena said with a sorrowful voice, feeling sorry for him.
"They make such a cute couple." Ray declared, smiling obliviously. "Don't they make a good couple, Brad?" He slapped Brad hard across the back for the umpteenth time. Brad, now feeling utterly hopeless, didn't even attempt to regain his balance, but luckily Leon took hold of both of his shoulders to keep him from falling flat on his face.

Meanwhile, Bit had taken a seat at a booth, Kylie and Mike sitting opposite him. That's when Naomi approached.
"Hey, Bit." she said, taking a seat beside him. "What's up with that guy Brad's with? He seems kind of…off." Mike growled slightly, but Bit ignored him and Naomi didn't seem to notice.
"Oh, that's just Ray." Bit answered. "He's a little coo-coo, if you know what I mean." Kylie let out a giggle, but as soon as Mike slammed his fist against the table, her laughter ceased. Naomi, though very startled, continued her conversation with Bit.
"I don't know. But I don't think he likes me very much." Bit shrugged.
"Oh, he's probably just jealous. He's got a thing for Brad…or something."
"You mean he's…?"
"Not exactly." Bit answered. "He likes Leena, too. It's hard to say, really." There was a moment of silence.
"So, who are these two?"
"Oh, this is Ray's brother, Mike, and Mike's girlfriend, Kylie Atwater." Mike grimaced and Kylie lowered her head.
"Pleasant, aren't they?" Naomi joked with a sly grin. Mike growled bitterly at her.
"I wouldn't joke with them if I were you." Bit whispered a warning to Naomi, but the fearless Naomi took no heed, giving him a simple shrug.
"So…" she began in amusement. "You two are going out?" Kylie gave a slight nod, though her eyes failed to leave the table.
"Yeah." Mike stated in a coarse voice. "What's it to you?"
"Ooh. Attitude." Mike growled once more. She turned to Bit with a smirk. "What's with the growl, huh?"
"Oh, that." Bit began. "That's his trademark." He suddenly noticed Kylie raise her eyes a little to look at him, a small smile appearing on her face. Bit grinned, hoping to impress her, and added. "I think he thinks he's a dog or something." Kylie giggled a moment, but she abruptly stopped as Mike growled ferociously, slamming his fist on the table. Upon realizing this, Naomi's face filled with annoyance. She sharply turned her eyes toward Kylie.
"So, Kylie, how did you and Mike meet exactly?" Kylie, of course, lowered her head, waiting for Mike to answer for her, which he did.
"We met-"
"I was asking KYLIE." Naomi callously interrupted. Kylie became frightened as she bowed he head even more. "Just who do you think you are, anyway?" Treating your girlfriend like that?" Mike, his eyes cold with anger, rose from his seat.
"I think that's it's none of your business, you stupid little bitch." Naomi grew enraged as she stood up as well, slamming her hands against the table.
"Well, I think you're a sexist jack-ass!"
"Naomi, please!" Bit whispered, desperately pulling at her harm for her to sit down. "This guy is dangerous! Brad says he decapitated-"
"Mikey!" Ray's voice boomed as he neared the booth, dragging Brad along as he usually did. Bit suddenly felt a great fear swell in the pit of his stomach as he noticed the look of hopeless-almost suicidal-agony on Brad's face; the unbreakable Brad had begun to crack. After all, if Brad was losing it, Bit certainly didn't stand much of a chance against the Skyler family. Following them, Leena and Leon approached, Leena warily and Leon somewhat dazed. "There's someone I want you to meet." Ray continued on and gestured toward Leon. "Mikey, Kylie, this is Leena's brother, Leon. Leon, this is my brother, Mikey, and his girlfriend, Kylie Atwater."
"It's a pleasure to meet you both." Leon said politely and extended his hand to them. However, neither one even looked up at him and he retracted his arm in a confused disappointment.
"He's a chauvinistic ass, that's what he is." Naomi coldly said, her eyes locked on Mike's eyes, the tension still fuming between the two of them. Ray, suddenly noticing Naomi's presence, grew unnerved.
"Oh, it's HER." Ray then placed his free hand on Mike's shoulder, his other hand tightly around Brad's arm. "Don't worry about her, Mikey. She seems to have a way of pissing EVERYBODY off."
"Excuse me?" Naomi began, offended, but Bit quickly yanked her back to her seat. Mike stared awhile longer before grunting and taking his seat as well.
"So, are we all having a good time?" Ray asked, cheerful now. "Mikey?"
"Yeah…"
"Kylie?" She only nodded slightly. "Well, that's good." Naomi scoffed.
"Both of you are a couple of jerks." she muttered, crossing her arms and closing her eyes. Before Ray could speak, anger boiling in his eyes, Leena spoke up.
"Wow! Don't Jamie and Dawn look so cute together, dancing like that?" she exclaimed with a tone of artificial cheer. Ray looked over at the dance floor.
"Yes. Yes, they do." he replied in proud satisfaction. However, in truth, they both looked very awkward standing there, barely dancing at all, Dawn out of arrogant apathy and Jamie out of utter fear. But Ray continued to grin in proud stupidity at his younger sister while Brad groaned. Bit frowned and Leena smiled nervously.
"Leena?" Leon began, a very concerned look spreading across his face as he took her arm. "Can I talk to you for a second? ALONE?" Leena looked at Ray, trying to smile, and then back at Leon."
"Um, sure. No problem. We'll be back in, uh, just a moment, Ray."


"Where did you meet these people?!" Leon questioned Leena when they were off to the side.
"I was trying to explain it to you earlier." Leena began, trying to be nonchalant about the situation. "Ray's Brad's childhood stalker. It's no big deal."
"No big deal?!" Leon was in an outraged shock. "Are you crazy?!"
"No, but THEY are." Leena replied.
"I don't know how you can be so calm about all of this!" Leon protested. "It's obvious that there is something very wrong with those four disturbing individuals." Leena shrugged.
"I don't know. I guess I'm kind of getting use of them by now. They sort of grow on you after awhile." She then smiled. "Besides, there's nothing to worry about, anyway, Leon. It's only for tonight. By tomorrow, the psycho Skyler family will be just a memory of the past."
"I hope you're right." Leon said doubtfully, eyeing Ray as he swung his arm tightly around Brad. "They seem kind of clingy if you ask me…" Leena just laughed as if the idea was ludicrous.
"Trust me: tomorrow, they're gone."
Suddenly, they're was a loud thud and a whimper from the dance floor. Both Leon and Leena turned to see Jamie on the ground, in some obvious pain, an aggravated Dawn towering over him, her hands on her hips in utter disgust. She spoke to him in a cold, callous, unfeeling voice: "Idiot."
