Ch. 12-1: The Mess After The Storm - Sunday Morning Hangover
"555-0123.." Lily said aloud as she pressed the buttons on the phone. The ring-tone rang through her ear twice before she clicked the off button and threw the phone on the bed. She walked over to her stereo, which sat upon her dresser, and decided to put another CD in (She had accidentally left the Nirvana album on all night and fell asleep to it on repeat.) She pressed a finger on her top CD in her alphabetically organized CD rack and slid her finger down the different CD's looking for something new to listen to. She pulled a CD case out and opened it, putting the Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Californication" into her stereo. She had always loved California, even though she was too young to really remember it. The family went to Disneyland and her favorite memory was seeing Mickey. She grinned at her thoughts and proceeded to walk towards the bathroom, leaving her door open, and the bathroom door, so she could hear the CD. She looked into the mirror.
"Blah" She said and quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth. She walked back into her room and threw some clothes on, still avoiding her dress laying on the floor. She slowly walked downstairs, yawning a couple times in her just-woke-up state.
Robbie woke up on his floor. His eyes slowly opened to see a pair of his underwear in front of his face which woke him up more than a cup of coffee would.
"Ewww" He said to nobody, "I really need to clean up this room.." He stood up and scratched the back of his head through his Lion's-Mane type of hair. He streched his arms and looked at his bed. His blanket was half on the floor, he obviously fell off his bed again. He hated it when that happened but he was one of those sleepers that had practically a seizure when they slept. He walked across his room to his computer which he constantly left on but let the screen saver save power for him. He moved the mouse and the screen instantly appeared. He got online and looked at his Instant Message buddies who were online. Sadly it was a little early and everyone was sleeping in from the big night. He looked at his alarm clock, 8:34 it read. It was pretty early... He thought to himself. He decided to do this math homework crawled back into bed, in hopes of not waking up later on the floor again.
Much earlier than Robbie or Lily, Travis was up at an early 6'o'clock a.m. The rest of his friends never knew how he always accomplsihed this without being really tired all the time, but he would always tell them it was a practice of Buddhism or another. He lifted the blanket up and threw his legs over his bed. He grabbed the cinder block a few feet away and started his regular early morning work-out. He liked to keep in shape, for himself, not for any girls or to impress anybody. He streched and did some crunches before making himself acceptable in public. He grabbed his back-pack and left his parents a note, just a reassurance that he wasn't missing and headed out the door. He loved the early morning when everyone was still asleep, and the dew was still on the grass, the sky was half-bright, half-dark and the air was fresh. He walked to the warehouse of RFR, and made himself comfortable inside. He sat on the floor and meditated for a while and then sat on the couch for a few minutes pondering the night before. Had he really just been to a dance? And more importantly, he had fun? He smirked, his usual smirk, and messed with some little electronical things. Still thinking about the dance he had just attended with Lily. The Lily that was feeling strange all of a sudden. Feeling weird about Ray, the same Ray that woke up next to Audrey.
12-2: The Mess After The Storm - Sunday Afternoon Reminiscence
Thinking back to the night before, after everything was said and done. Ray escorted Audrey back to her house for the after-party. He felt a little guilty for being with her instead of Lily, even though he wasn't even going out with Lily.
"So Ray.." She softly spoke to him as people started showing up at the door.
"So.." Ray gulped, "Audrey. Can I call home?"
"Of course" She pointed at the phone. He walked over to it and picked it up, sighed and dialed home.
"Mom?"
"Yes honey?"
"I'm gonna stay at...Robbie's..tonight." He lied.
"Oh alright, Did you have a good time sweetie?"
"Yeah, it was great. But I'm really tired so I think me and him are going to call it a night, maybe..watch a movie or something..Love you mom." And with that he hung up. He quickly picked up the phone and dialed Robbie's number.
"Hello?" Robbie asked.
"Hey, it's Ray. Um, if my mom calls, then I'm asleep at your house. Got it?"
"o0o0oh. Where are you??" Robbie looked at the back of his phone, it had caller ID on it, "Audrey's?!"
"Um, yeah..Well...heh." Ray nervoulsy spoke.
"Well you 2 lovebirds have fun. Later man."
He walked back over to Audrey through the crowd and asked where her room was. He told her he was pretty exhausted and after getting pointed in the right direction, opened the door to her room. He looked around at the pinks and yellows and the flowery girly stuff around her room. Typical, he thought. He sat down on her bed, and took another glance around. Immediatly spotting the TV he looked for a remote and pressed the power button.
"You've won!!! You're the 99th caller!" A radio turned on behind him.
"Oops.." He turned it off and looked for another remote, this time it was the TV and flipped through a few channels before landing on Cartoon Network.
"Yes!" He said and relaxed. He heard some giggling outside the door and it pushed opened, with a couple kissing and laughing entering the room. They spotted Ray, looked rather embarassed and walked back out, apologizing for their mistake. Ray got up and closed and locked the door this time. Time passed and it seemed like many hours, but was probably only a couple before he heard knocking on the door.
"Ray?" It was Audrey, "Ray? You in there?" He got up and unlocked the door for her, "Hey sweetie-pie, Are you ok in here?"
"Sweetie-pie? Um..Yeah I'm just fine, do you want me to go or something, because I can.." His voice trailed off.
"Oh no.. please don't leave" She grinned and put her arms around his neck and attempted to kiss him.
"Wait, Audrey.. I don't think.."
"It's ok, I want to." She answered his implied question. Ray kissed her back and they fell on the bed together. Falling asleep in each others arms about 30 minutes later. (Ray kissed her back and they flirted for a while before eventually falling asleep in others arms about 30 minutes later.)
Ray woke up and looked at Audrey right in front of him, he stretched his neck and looked over her at the clock.
"12:30?!" He exclaimed. Audrey woke up after he yelled,
"What's the matter?" She smiled at him, enjoying his company.
"Audrey, I gotta go, it's late!" Ray said, rushing out of her bed, "I'm sorry, I'll just see you later."
She blew a kiss to him as he rushed out.

Luckily for Ray's little excuse about going to Robbie's, he ran over there and knocked on his door. Robbie opened the door and as a butler would do, gestured for him to come in.
"Hey thanks for covering for me, man. I owe you."
"Oh it's no problem, but why did you run over here?" Robbie asked.
"Because, I can call my mom to have her pick me up here. So it seems more like I stayed over."
"Ooooh. Y'know, that's a good one. So what'd you guys do?"
"Who?" Ray asked.
"You know..You and Audrey." Robbie answered.
"I'll tell you later, let me call home." Ray proceeded with calling home, he waited for about 10 minutes and explained to Robbie what happened, and his mom came to pick him up. He had a conversation with his mom and dad about the dance and his brother annoyed him about it. He was finally relieved to get up into his room and rest.
About half an hour later, he got up and decided to go online and see if any talk-worthy people were on. The computer was something that could entertain him for hours on end, even though he had many ways of entertaining himself. He sat down in his small, yet comfortable, office chair and moved the mouse around so the screen would show up. He signed on to his instant messenger program and noticed that Travis, Robbie, and Lily were all online. He decided he was going to make a private chat room for the quartet of RFR.
[Chat Room: Radio Free Roscoe]
TheRaySandwich has entered the room.
LilyPad has entered the room.
TheRaySandwich: Hey

LilyPad: *Punches Ray*
TheRaySandwich: That cyber-hurt!
TorpedoKing: lol
TheRaySandwich: Lily did you try to call me? Your number showed up on my caller ID.
(Lily felt rather embarassed at this, but Ray couldn't see her face right now or hear her voice. So, she calmly ignored the blush appearing on her face.)
LilyPad: Oh, Yah, I had to ask about homewrok
LilyPad: homework*
TheRaySandwich: Oh...k? lol
TorpedoKing: Ray, tell Travis and Lily about what happened last night! :-D
LilyPad: What happened last night??
TheRaySandwich: Shut up rob!
TorpedoKing: Cmon tell them! lol!
TrueEnlightenment: Now you have to tell us, you've peaked my curiosity.
TheRaySandwich: Well, I sorta went to Audreys party afterwards..
TorpedoKing: And then?? :-D
TheRaySandwich: We made out on her bed.. and I ended up staying the night.. hehe..
(As Lily stared at this screen, her eyes got wide and her stomach sank. She felt like she was going to be sick. Ray made out with Audrey? No..No that wasn't fair. It wasn't right! She thought. Her mood changed from bad to worse.)
LilyPad has left the room.
TheRaySandwich: Whered she go?
TorpedoKing: I dunno, but im out, later.
TorpedoKing has left the room.
Both Ray and Travis gradually left the chat room after that. Lily was half-way curled up on her bed, with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"555-0123.." Lily said aloud as she pressed the buttons on the phone. The ring-tone rang through her ear twice before she clicked the off button and threw the phone on the bed.
