Thanks again for your support, and of course...your patience!! lol!!
~ Somewhere in America, on the high way, in a car ~
'This is gonna be SO much fun!'
'I know...I can feel the music and partying already!'
'Hey girls? You mind quieting down a bit? We haven't even got there yet, and you're already hyped up!'
'Oh I'm sorry Jess, didn't know that you weren't excited.'
'I am excited Shal, just not squealy loud excited.'
'Don't listen to him Shal, it's the first day off for you in a long time! You deserve it!'
'Well you would say that Emma, you want to party as much as Shal!'
The harmless bickering continued for about 10 more minutes before one of them had the sense to shut the others up. It was no surprise that it was Emma who had to pry the other two apart and threaten them with one of her well known psi-blasts.
'Whatever, just don't shoot one at me Em, okay?'
'Glad to hear you say that, Shal.'
'How long is it gonna be JesS?'
'About one minute less than when you last asked. Just be patient, I cant' be in control of the traffic!'
'Okay okay, don't bite my head off!'
The car was filled with silence after their second bickering had diminished. Luckily for Jesse, there was silence for the rest of the journey, which was a good 15 minutes. He really wasn't in the mood to have to repeat over and over where they were going and how long it was going to take.
They drove up to the front entrance of a club, which looked like it was fairly well known. It was Shalimar's favourite club, since it had everything. There was the loud music, the bar and everything that every other bar had, but if you walked down far enough inside the club, there'd be a little section for a restaurant. They served everything there, every alcoholic drink, and every meal possibly thought of.
The front of the club wasn't as snazzy as some other clubs around the area, but that didn't matter to the team of Mutant X. After having to listen to Adam repeat over again that they should never judge a book by it's cover. Except in this case it was 'Never judge a club by it's entrance.'
It had a few sky lights which just reflected the logo of the club. It was amazing how much effect a couple of sky lights had on the appearance. There was a long queue that formed to the left of the entrance, but as usual, the team just walked up to the bouncer and had a quiet whisper. Two minutes later, they were skipping the queue and walking in the entrance.
The first thing they saw as they walked in was the little cloakroom to the left. No one really used it, but they just had it there in case no one wanted to carry anything onto the dancefloor. Then, almost straight after the cloakroom were the toilets. To the left were the men's and then to the right were the ladies. Jesse had to stand outside, waiting while Shalimar and Emma popped in to 'top up their make-up'. He knew that would happen, but there was nothing he could do about it. There were two of them and only one of him.
They finally appeared from the door and found Jesse somewhat intrigued with the tiles on the wall in a corner. They glanced at eachother and immediately felt a tinge of guilt but couldn't help laugh at the mutant in front of them.
'You okay there, Jesse?'
'Huh? Yeah, yeah I'm fine.' They had obviously brought his attention back to reality as the jump in his posture did not go unnoticed by either of the two women.
'So, you done? Can we finally go to the actual inside of the club?'
'Sure Jess...you've been so patient, of course we can.'
'Well then, shall we?' He extended both of his arms and gave the girls a look which was...unforgettable.
The two women again started laughing, but they soon quietened as they both linked onto one of Jesse's arms each. Jesse's face lit up as he walked in with two women on his arms. He knew it was better to keep quiet though, any comment about them on his arms and he would never hear the end of it, especially from Emma.
They walked into the main part of the club and all headed in the same direction. To the bar. It was a regular thing to do. Before Emma had joined, and when Jesse and Shalimar had time off to go to the club, they would walk in and head straight for the bar. After 10 minutes there, they would find a table and then sit there for a while, then head out to the dancefloor.
After they walked to the bar, Emma and Shalimar both headed to get a table and left Jesse to order the drinks. He knew what they wanted, so there was no need for them to stay up there with him. He ordered the drinks and then disappeared into the crowd as he tried to find the two women he had come in with. After about 2 minutes of walking around, probably in a circle, he saw them, sitting in the corner talking to eachother obviously deeply interested in the topic. He didn't know though, that he was the topic of conversation.
~ At the same time as Jesse gets the drinks...but at a table in the corner ~
'How about that table, Em?'
'Yeah that'll do, I'm sure Jesse will see us.'
They both sat down in silence, unsure of what to talk about.
'You know, we should just talk about what's on our mind. There's no point in both of us trying to find a conversation interesting for both of us, we'll never find one.'
'Yeah, I guess. Let's start with...um..I know. What did you used to do before you met Adam? I mean, you must have had a more lively life, right?' Shalimar decided to make use of the time they had and get to know Emma a bit more.
'Um. Well sure, I mean, I didn't used to go around finding and helping people with supernatural powers, otherwise known as mutants.'
The two women started laughing at Emma's comment. There was just a hint of humour in it that they both found funny.
'Yeah...no, I just messed around all the time, kinda the normal life stuff. Nothing interesting.'
'Sounds cool. I don't know what I'd be doing right now if it weren't for Adam.'
'Now that I've met Adam, I'm really looking forward to the future. I'd rather be doing this than living a boring plain life. There's just no excitement to that.'
Shalimar had to agree. Being a new mutant added excitement, it made her unique. It made THEM unique. Being on Mutant X just made them that more unique, and she wouldn't trade it in for anything at all in the world. It made her start to think of what she wanted. Then her mind flashed to Brennan. Brennan Mulwray. Now that is something she wants. *hmm...hotness*
She didn't even know she was day-dreaming. She didn't even notice Emma waving her hand right up in her face.
'Shal!!'
That worked. She jumped out of her own fantasy world and turned her full attention to the woman next to her.
'Yeah, sorry. Just thinkin abuut things...'
'Yeah, I know. He's hot.'
'What?'
'Please Shal, you're practically sending your thoughts to every psionic in the world. There's no WAY you could have not.'
'Sorry Emma...I was just thinkin too much. We should party! Where's Jesse?'
Just at that moment, Jesse came round to the table in time to hear her question.
'Well, he's right here. And he'd like to ask these two beautiful women before him, if they would like to be escorted to the floor for some serious boogeying.'
This just made Shalimar and Emma burst out laughing, for the millionth time that night. Shalimar didn't need to say anything in response to his question, since Emma beat her to it.
'We would LOVE to.'
He extended his arm in order for her to take it, and as could be expected, she took it. He then extended an arm out to Shalimar to take it, but unlike Emma she didn't.
'Actually, you know what guys? I'm just gonna sit this one out...you guys have this dance.'
She knew there was definately a connection between the two of them, and she used that as an excuse for them to have a little private time.
'Shal come on....please?'
'Ask me again in ten minutes, 'kay?'
'Fine then, but that's a promise.'
Jesse began to lead Emma away, but not before she managed to send Shalimar a thought.
~ We'll talk later Shal, and you're gonna tell me who that guy is...definately. Oh yeh, and...thank you. ~
Shalimar smiled back at Emma just before she disappeared into the crowd of young adults and teens dancing away without a care in the world. Now she had the next ten minutes to herself, she began once again to day-dream about a certain tall, dark and mysterious being.
Whatcha think?
