To Thunder Unicorn Ixion: Make sure the SECOND you remember it you email me. ^_^ Can't wait to see what idea you have.
CursedAngelofSephiroth: Jen is my character, which sadly may be why she is very prominent right now. But it will not remain that way once the battles start! ^_^
And the people who requested their characters before I wrote this will be in the club. . .::chuckles:: And they are Michael and Mal. Sorry to everyone else who gets that in after, but I have to get this chapter up, and there will most likely be other times.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Badguy pounded on the door to yet another dorm and waited until the person answered. "What?"
"Hey C.A.! We're all going out to the club. Get ready."
"Um, no thanks. I'm set right here."
"Aw, come on! It'll be fun."
"No thank you. I have other things I'd rather be doing."
"Like what?"
". . ." Chaos Angel stared at the incredibly happy man and shook his head.
"Alright, fine then. Be a party-pooper." Chaos Angel sighed and shut the door and locked it behind him.
Badguy moved to the next door and pounded no it. Michael poked his head out. "Yes?"
"We're all going out to this club. Do you want to go?" He tried a different approach, hoping it would work.
"Which one?"
"Uh, most likely Twentieth Century." Michael paused, thinking.
"Alright." He shut the door to change, leaving Badguy stunned.
"Wow. And I though for sure he would say no. Oh well." He moved down another door, grinning and pounded on the door. Malia opened it, glaring at him.
"Hey baby. You know, we're all going out to his fucking awesome club. You wanna come?" Mal raised an eyebrow.
"Who else is going?"
"Everyone! Me, Michael, Zuzu, Daniel, Lexiter, Jen."
"The captains are going?"
"Yeah!"
"Wow. Alright, I'll go. Let me get ready though." She shut the door, amused. Badguy grinned, pumping his fist in the air. He looked at the door across the hall, grinning. Oren stepped out.
"Hey, Oren my man. We're all going out. You coming?"
"No. I have other things to take care of here. Perhaps next time." He continued walking down the hall leaving Badguy standing there.
After about half an hour of trying Badguy had decided he had been somewhat successful. He had managed to get Daniel, Lexiter, Zuzu, Cid, Yuffie, Rikku, Mal, Michael, Severine, Zell, Alessa, Alex, Reise, Blade, and Seifer. He knew Zuzu would have gotten Jen and Sypher to go. Shock was no where to be found, and Aeris and Spike were gone too. The four people that Lynn and Eric had brought back opted to stay with them. Oh well, he still had a good crew going!
Awhile later they were all ready to go, waiting for Zuzu, Jen, and Lexiter.
"I CANNOT go out like THIS!" Jen screamed from inside. Zuzu had somehow convinced her to put on a short black skirt and a sleeveless blue tank. She crossed her arms looking at herself in the mirror, hair pulled back, and angry. Her black boots had heels, and she didn't like them.
Outside, Lexiter walked up to door, wearing a denim skirt and a short sleeved light green top, similar to her favorite blue one. Sypher's jaw dropped.
"Wow! Looking good Lexy-" She spun and grabbed his shoulder.
"Finish saying it, and I'll put you through this fucking wall." That only prompted him to grin even more, trying to choke back a laugh. He shut his mouth, hardly able to contain himself. Lexiter placed her hand on the pad and went in after whispering her password, and stood in the doorway.
"Are you all set?" Zuzu spun around, Jen glaring. "Ha! Never though I'd see that!" Jen frowned even more.
"I want my guns. Why can't I bring them?"
"Sheesh! You really are new to this girl! You can't bring it cuz they won't let you in. Looking nice, Lex."
"Thanks." She shrugged, crossing her arms. "Now can we please leave? The boys are getting anxious." Jen frowned and looked wistfully at her guns and followed Lexiter out.
Almost everyone had arrived by then and were waiting impatiently out in the hall. They all seemed dressed similar to what they wore most of the time. Alex had thrown a black jacket over his shirt; Reise wore baggy jeans and a black long sleeved shirt, his tail purposely hitting Sypher, who was getting angry. Sypher had on a clean pair of his favorite faded brown jeans, and long sleeved button up shirt over his brown one, open. Michael wore the same thing, with the sleeves unbuttoned and roled up to his elbows, his jacket slung over his shoulder, leaning casually against the wall. Daniel hadn't bothered putting on anything different at all and Badguy wore his favorite outfit with faded jeans, and an old style black coat over it. Mal had smiled when she first saw him.
"Classy."
"What?"
"Your jacket. I know people who have a jacket similar to that one. It's a style from the late twentieth century."
"Yeah. It's cool."
Mal was wearing a tight fitting tan top with no sleeves, and a dark brown jacket over it. Her cut-off jeans had been replaced by full length ones that flared out slightly at the bottom, covering her boots. Her braided hair had been re-braided a bit tighter. Blade wore a short leather skirt and a cropped dark blue top with these knee-high boots she found in her room. Her red hair was in its regular loops. Alessa ran up that moment, grinning.
"I'm not missing anything, am I? Are we ready to go yet?"
"Almost. Waiting for Jen and Lex." Mal said, standing around. Alessa grinned again. She wore tight black jeans, a tight red shirt that showed off the tattoo on her belly, and had her hair pulled back into a ponytail that trailed down her back. Severine was the last to arrive; running down the hall. She wore her black pants, white tank top ensemble, with her denim jacket over it. Every person that was from the other worlds wore whatever they had come in. Finally the door opened again and they were reading. Severine grinned as she saw Jen.
"Am I still alive?" She teased. Jen shot her a dirty look and she stopped, her smiled fading for a brief second before she was smiling again. "Oh we're going to have so much fun!" Zuzu walked out and shut the door behind her, attracting stares from some of the guys. She grinned as Badguy whistled. She had on a black tube top with dark jeans and black boots, her hair up with some strands loose and curling.
"Save it for later, mon." He grinned as they all started walking to their cars, Sypher right behind Jen.
"Hey-"
"Shut it."
"But-"
"Not a fucking word." Lexiter couldn't help but laugh.
"Sypher, you should just never talk again. Save everyone the trouble."
"Oh shut the fuck up." He frowned and slid back to walk next to Michael.
The group left the compound and climbed into the cars of their friends, or their own. Jen chose to ride in hers, Sypher with her, much to her disappointment, as well as Zell and Severine. Zuzu climbed into her jeep, Badguy hopping in next to her. Jen spun on Sypher.
"One comment out of your mouth and I will hurt you. I do have guns in my car." Sypher held his hands up and looked out the window. The way they left the compound was like a scene out of an old DVD they sometimes watched, cars racing out of the ground and through the city to a well-known club, which would undoubtedly be packed.
After fifteen minutes of driving and twenty minutes of trying to find somewhere to park (many of the drivers ready to just blow up the vehicles in their way) they met up outside the club to wait in a fairly long line.
"This is a fucking waste." Sypher said angrily, feeling a bit cold. Badguy and Zuzu grinned.
"Oh you don't want to wait? I think I can take care of that." Zuzu smiled and stepped out of line with Badguy behind her, putting on a straight face. He crossed his arms and made himself look taller than he was, walking behind her. She stepped up to the large bouncer, wrapping her arms around herself. They all leaned out to watch.
"Hello." Zuzu said brightly. The man looked down at her and smiled a bit before looking back up. She grinned slyly with Badguy stepping up close to her. "May we go in?"
"What? You've got to be kidding me, right? Get back in line or I'll kick you out of here. This place is filled. You'll be lucky to get in at all tonight."
"Well, that's wonderful that you're doing your job and all, truly stand up, mon. But don't ya know who I am?" He looked down at her briefly and squinted.
"No. Should I?" At this point stepped forward.
"You are being rude, sir."
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"I see that you are blind as well. How can you not see who this woman is?" The guard looked down again as Zuzu smiled sweetly.
"Holy FUCK! I'm sorry Miss Averston. Truly I am! Please, go right in!"
"That's alright, mon. You was just doing your job. But we have friends. They are coming to."
"Of course! Be my guest." He bowed his head and Badguy turned, signaling to them, a devilish grin on his face. They looked at him quizzically and left the line, approaching.
"Friends of Miss Averston are always welcome."
"Miss-" Sypher was kicked quickly by Reise, who understood right away that they had somehow conned their way in. They nodded to the man who flagged them in and stopped everyone else.
"What was that about?" Jen asked Zuzu. She grinned brilliantly.
"Well, apparently I look like this famous Jamaican singer that lived in France for awhile. She left about a year ago. Her name is Ruby Averston."
"Ah." Jen couldn't help but grin as Zuzu replayed her story to everyone in the group that inquired.
Inside the club was pretty dark. Lights flashed once in awhile, but everyone could see because of the dim lights by the bar. The music roared, people jumping, dancing, swaying every which way. The place was fairly large and could probably hold close to a thousand people cramped in, but there were not that many allowed in on this night. There had to be around six hundred. The bar was busy, people coming and going, weaving their way back into throng of dancing people. Badguy grinned at all the women everywhere and started to make his way onto the floor when Zuzu grabbed him.
"Me first. You owe me for driving you." He shrugged and wrapped an arm around he shoulders, turning to wink at the others. Jen stood there next to Daniel, a look of disgust on her face.
"Why the fuck did I agree to this?" Daniel shrugged as Lexiter stepped up to join them.
"If I kill anyone here, does it count as accidental?"
"Good question."
"No really. With all the people jerking around and jumping into each other, someone could easily get trampled."
"This is true. Most likely would be accidental then. Who do you have in mind?"
"The first loser that hits on me."
Just as Lexiter finished saying this, a tall, black-haired man stepped up to her grinning. Her eyes narrowed to tiny slits. He opened his mouth and without even looking at him she spoke. "Keep. . . walking," she hissed. It was too much for Jen. She burst out laughing, and Daniel cracked a smile. Lexiter made a note in her head about the man for later on.
The three of them made their way to the bar and sat down. The first song had ended and Badguy came over, ordering a beer for himself. Alessa sat on a stool grinning, her own in her hand.
"Hey Sanders."
"Oh, you up for a little drinking too?"
"Don't you know it!"
"Up for a little contest?"
"Eh, maybe later." She winked at him and took a big drink from her glass. Jen frowned and turned to the bartender.
"Coke."
"Anything in it?"
"Did I ask for anything else? No. Didn't think so." She frowned and watched as Badguy gave his almost empty glass to Alessa as he sauntered back onto the floor, searching for a new girl to dance with.
Reise was enjoying himself as well. He had found a short blond girl who seemed to be very giggly and wouldn't let go of him, not that he seemed to mind. Lexiter scanned the bar to see if anyone else was there. Severine sat on the other side of Alessa, leaned over and now talking to Jen, sipping her own coke. Down at the far end she was surprised to see Shock sitting there, by himself. He had a glass in his hand and he looked around, eyeing them, then turned back to the glass. She grinned.
"So this is where he goes when he says he's going out." She looked over to her right and saw Seifer pestering Zell, who looked ready to punch him. She made her way over to the two of them, deciding she might as well try to have a good time.
"So, Seifer. You want to try a dance?" He froze.
"I don't know this music." She snorted.
"Obviously. Let's go." She grabbed his arm and pulled him after her, getting lost in the crowd. Zell laughed and made his way over to Jen, hopping onto them empty stool next to her. She looked up.
"Why aren't you out there?"
"I hate these places."
"Oh come on. It doesn't seem that bad."
"It is. Believe me." She sipped at her coke and put the glass down, spinning to watch her friends having a good time. The song stopped and the DJ announced the next one, including the year and artist so people knew what sort of dance they would have to do. Some cheered, other booed, leaving the floor to be replaced by others.
Severine took Alessa's empty seat as the girl was dragged onto the floor by a red-haired guy who was trying to sweet talk her. She turned and rolled her eyes at them and followed him, putting her glass down.
"Do you see Mal? Looks like she's having a good time."
"That's good. She deserves it."
"Yeah." They watched her for a minute as she grinned and got Michael to dance with her. Soon people were pushing around them and they too were lost in the crowd.
Alex and Blade had disappeared together onto the floor, once in a while a glimpse of them could be seen, swaying to the music. Jen frowned, hoping they would at least put something she liked on.
Cid managed to escape a spikey-haired girl who was obviously interested in him and threw himself against the counter.
"What can I get you?"
"Anything!" The man grinned and handed Cid a beer, which he gratefully took, downing half of it in one shot. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it, sighing. "Holy fuck! These women are like fuckin' vultures!" Zell laughed at the older man and leaned against the counter, watching with amazement.
The girl approached Cid rather aggressively and he frowned. "Come on, Cid. Let's go."
"Can't you see I'm fuckin' drinking? 'sides, I already promised her a dance." He pointed to Severine, who opened her eyes wide. The girl glared at her and stormed onto the floor. Severine turned several shades of red quickly before returning to normal. Cid laughed.
Jen turned slightly to the left and saw Rikku and Yuffie having a blast with two of the younger guys that had surrounded them. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Shock sitting there, watching them, a half empty glass in her hand. She looked at him quizzically for a second before turning her attention back onto the floor. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
The song ended again and the DJ announced something Jen knew, and knew very well. Zuzu came up to her, already sweating from dancing. Badguy grabbed his glass and finished it, giving Zuzu just enough time to steal Jen's coke and finish it off.
From his little corner Sypher heard the song and grinned, knowing Jen couldn't resist it. He walked up to her and grabbed her arm. "Come on Jenny." She jerked her arm away.
"I'm not dancing."
"You know you have to. I hear you singing this song all the time in your room when you play your music. And in your car?" Jen sighed and stood.
"I swear, just this one." He grinned and dragged her onto the floor, finding Zuzu, Badguy, Michael and Mal. No one could help feel the "energy" in the song and they started to dance like the people around them.
Severine sat next to Zell and watched him as he watched Jen. "Hey, don't worry about it. She can't stand Sypher."
"Oh? I don't care." Severine grinned and shook her head, turning back to watch her friends have fun.
Jen, Mal, and Zuzu had stood in front of the guys and leaned back, pressing their backs against their chests and moving to the sides. Sypher grinned and pulled Jen back closer to him and she stepped on his foot, rather hard. The drum and bass beats took over, almost drowning out the words as everyone did little hops forward. Jen looked at Zuzu who was grinning madly. Lexiter at that moment decided to drag Seifer over. He was frowning, looking like he would rather be elsewhere but he went along with it.
"Want to try it?" Severine asked Zell. He shrugged and she jumped up, grabbing his hand and dragging him out to them, getting bumped by everyone on the way. Jen smiled at Severine as they all danced. Zell watched them, eyes wide until he go the hang of it. Sypher just glared at him.
"Doing good, chickie. So you got moves other than your fight." Seifer winked at the shorter blonde, who replied by throwing him a threatening glance.
The girls all spun around on one beat and faced their partners, grinning again. Mal pressed up to Michael, trying to forget her problems, even if only for a few minutes. The girls all twisted their bodies while leaning forward, and the guys complemented the movements moving backwards. The same thing was done the other way before the girls spun again, backs close to, but not against the guys. They tapped their foot then leaned the opposite way.
Soon the song ended and another started, followed by the usual cheers and boos as Jen left the floor in a hurry to sit. Lexiter followed them and they both ordered another drink.
