Chapter 4/?
Part 1
"Hey-Lo like all!" Alicia called, pulling open the brass wooden door with a smile. Her most awaited birthday had arrived and Tia and Clover had promised to show up early and help decorate her house.
Tia raised her eyebrow. "What do you mean ALL-its just me and Clover."
Alicia looked confused. "Uh, never mind. The party is being held in my basement. I need some help drawing a face on the hot potato. The marker seems to reject me." She held up her hands, blue ink covered every few inches.
"Didn't you learn how to draw in kindergarten." Tia muttered. She hadn't wanted to come to Alicia's birthday party; she was grounded and was happy to use that as an excuse-till her parents said she could go. They probably new it would be a better punishment.
"I skipped kindergarten!" Alicia squealed excitedly. She led Clover and Tia down to the basement and Clover placed her gift on the table. It had been wrapped in papers Tia wrote her old essay on, but Clover insisted Alicia wouldn't notice.
"So where's that naughty potato?" Clover asked half amused half distracted. She was kind of confused about Logan. When she had asked him last night if he would sleep with her, she didn't mean in the SAME bed. She meant in the SAME room. But it didn't really matter. It had been comfortable, not awkward and they were just friends. Clover actually felt the potato hit her head before she was jolted out of her thoughts. She glared at Alicia who just stood there shrugging apologetically.
"Ahhhh, ewwww!" Tia shrieked a grossed out look on her face. She had stepped on the potato, which now was crushed into mud like form. Half-stuck to her chic sandals and the half stuck to the carpet.
"What have you done?" Alicia cried, "Poor Mr. Wiggle."
"Whose Mr. Wiggle?" Clover asked stifling a laugh.
"The potato, duh!" Alicia sighed. Tia scraped the potato of her shoe with a framed picture of Alicia's elderly father.
"Oh well." Tia said. "We're a little old to be playing hot potato anyway. I'd rather play spin the bottle or truth and dare."
"What's that?" Alicia asked. Tia shot Clover a look and as she went to retrieve a bottle Clover told Alicia all about the games.
"Oh, Cool!" Alicia cried. "And it will work since the boys are coming to! Maybe Angel will kiss me.." She trailed off with a dreamy look in her eyes.
Tia snorted entering the room, catching Alicia's last statement. "Yeah, if he kisses cows." She muttered. Thankfully Alicia never heard because the doorbell rang at the exact moment Tia insulted her.
"A guest arrived!" She yelled running up the stairs happily. She tripped on the hem of her skirt half way up the stairwell and tumbled all the way down again. Tia and Clover didn't have the time to ask if she was all right, before Alicia, looking dazed ran back up the stairs.
"Yo Ally." They heard Angel greet her. His voice was followed by Logon's, Kimberly's, and Lisa's. Within minutes Alicia and her guests came bounding down the stairs.
"So make yourselves at home." Alicia called clapping her hands. Angel shrugged and grabbed the bowl of corn chips, then he pulled out his slingshot and began target practice, aiming at Alicia's family portrait. The picture was struck twice before Alicia noticed and began scolding Angel on proper, polite, gentlemanly behavior in her house.
"Well." Angel drawled. "Since I'm neither of those things, I'll follow my own rules. But thanks for the lecture."
Tia sighed. "Alicia does the entertainment get any better then this?"
Alicia nodded. "Yes. But we have to wait for all the guests to arrive before we start the game."
"What game?" Angel asked rummaging threw Alicia's mini fridge and grabbing her dads beer.
"Truth and Dare." Clover answered yelling to be heard over Alicia's shrieks of: "ANGEL put the beer back. We are not of age! What will Santa think round Christmas time!"
"Cool." Angel muttered looking back from Clover to Tia distractedly. His head was slightly tilted as he studied them making Tia feel like a lab rat. "Your twins." He finally concluded.
"No shit Sherlock." Clover elbowed her sister. "I mean, uh, the only two of a kind."
Angel had his Desmond smirk back in place. "So," He said staring at Clover. "Were you created to make up the percentage of Tia's missing IQ?"
"No." Clover replied hotly. "The beer must be affecting your brain. Not that it wasn't damaged in the first place."
"ANGEL! You still have the beer! Santa and Mrs. Claus are probably writing up the naughty list right now!"
Part 2
"Are we gonna play truth and dare now?" Angel sniggered once all the guests arrived.
"Not until I open my gifts." Alicia ordered, eyeing his beer with great dislike. In the end Alicia had been unpersuasive and Angel was allowed his alcoholic beverage. But not until she had stuck a sticker of "jolly old Chris Cringle' on his bottle of Bud Light.
"Open my gift first Alicia!" Her friend Amanda shrieked. "I just know you'll LOVE it! I spent sixty bucks so you better." Angel choked mid sip when he heard 'sixty bucks.' He had spent next to nothing considering he'd shop lifted her gift from GoodWill.
Alicia picked up a blue bagged present. Carefully she opened the card. Alicia cleared her throat before she began reading. "To a bestest best bud. I wish you joy, love, love, and heap fun. Remember your being smiled upon by the sun. Love till the end, even if it happens to be tomorrow because one of us has died. Friends forever-Amanda." Angel was laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes. So did Alicia, but for a different reason. "It was so touching," she breathed. Amanda had given her a walking, talking, dolly. The exact brand Clover and Logan has massacred.
Next Alicia opened Angel's. There was no card only a puzzle of Barney. It was 15 pieces. "So it won't outsmart you." Angel explained. Alicia beamed. Twenty grueling minutes later Alicia finished with her gifts and everyone was seated in a circle about to play truth and dare.
"I'll start!" Alicia called. "Since I'm the birthday girl and all.. Okay? Hmmm-Clover! Truth or Dare?" Normally Clover would choose dare but with Logan here she didn't want to do something to drastic. "Truth."
"Okay, um, what was your best kiss ever?"
Everyone looked at Clover in interest. She felt her cheeks grow warm and gulped. Angel had been her best kiss-but he didn't even know he kissed her! "Well," She muttered. "Duo of course."
"Boring!" Tia yelled snidely. "Everyone knew that." Logan looked uncomfortable. He really didn't want to hear about Clover kissing anyone. Unless it was him.
"Whatever Tia, Its my turn now. Angel Truth or dare?" Clover asked.
"Dare." Angel smirked. Tia rolled her eyes. The guy would probably do 'anything' they dared him to. Why not take a safer rode and ask truth or truth?
"Fine. I dare you to go upstairs and ask Alicia's mom to marry you." At this Tia and Kimberly shrieked with laugher while Alicia looked simply horrified.
Angel wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. "Will do." He said as he walked upstairs in search of Alicia's mom.
The giggling guests followed him upstairs and spied threw the basement doorway. They saw Angel approach Alicia's mom, drop dramatically one knee grab her hand, and yell in a fore-lorn voice. "You are my everything! I simply cannot go on with out you. Will you make me the happiest man in the world and take my hand in marriage?" Alicia's mom blushed, rambled on about how he made her feel young again, and shoed him downstairs.
Once in the safety of the basement everyone burst out laughing. "Omigod! I can't believe you just did that!" Tia said threw little gasps of air.
Angel grinned at her. "I like when you laugh." He said lowering his voice to a smooth whisper. His voice sent shivers down her spine. Five laughs and five minutes later they were back in the circle.
"Tia, as it is my turn," Angel sneered. "Truth of Dare?"
"Truth." She replied uninterestedly.
"If you could describe me in five words what would they be?"
Tia looked shocked. Could he be more arrogant? Why did he even care what she thought?
"I'll answer that Angel!" Alicia squealed. "Your Nice, considerate, hansom- "
"Cool, and fabulous!" Amanda finished. Tia and Lisa shot each other a look. These girls should be wearing 'I love ANGEL' t-shirts.
"Tia?" Angel prompted ignoring his groupies.
"Satan with a back pack." She smirked pleased with her verbal insult.
Clover laughed. "Don't forget Sid Vicious! And cell number 137!"
The girls looked at Angel checking his reaction. He shrugged. "Cool."
Tia was about to ask Logan truth or dare when Angel cut in. "Hey guys." He said staring at his empty beer bottle. "Wanna play spin the bottle?"
"Sure." They answered in unison.
Alicia grabbed the bottle and spun it. 'Please land on Angel' she thought trying to send a telepathic message to the heavens. For a second it stopped right in front of him but then rolled over and landed on Jason Wilson. Tia huffed jealously. Jason approached Alicia carefully the he gave her a one second peck on the cheek but Alicia grabbed him and slammed his lips onto hers. They kissed for a good few seconds and when Alicia pulled away Jason looked dreamy and was staring at Alicia with more admiration then before. Angel grabbed the bottle and spun it. It stopped on Kimberly but he nudged it with his foot in Tia's direction.
"Gravity." He explained as Tia shot him a suspicious glance. But it didn't matter cause there was no way she was kissing HIM.
"It wasn't fair. He moved it." Tia complained.
Logan rolled his eyes. "Tia you have to it's the rules."
"Rules were made to be broken." Tia pouted but she leaned in to kiss Angel anyway. Just before their lips met they was a loud shout and they jerked apart.
"It's time for the cake!" Alicia's mom yelled.
Part 3
"Happy Birthday to you." Everyone sang will Alicia's mom placed her cake in front of her. The singing ended and she blew out her candles with a little too much force. Wax sprayed onto Lisa and the wall.
"What did you wish for?" Angel asked grabbing a cherry from the top of her cake while Alicia's mom went in search of a knife.
Alicia sighed dreamily. "It already came true." Then she winked at him and turned to flirt with Jason as Tia shooting her the evil eye.
"What happened?" Alica's mom cried as she eyed the birthday cake returning with the knife and plates. Angel had eaten all the cherries and some of the icing. Angel shrugged a piece of white icing stuck to the side of his mouth. Tia caught his eye and pointed to the side of her face. Angel swiped at his mouth with his hand understanding Tia's gesture but not before Alicia's mom caught on.
"Young man you need to learn some manners."
"Don't sweat it Mrs. A he's a lost cause." Tia answered bobbing her head to the music that played in the background. Angel glared at her and she shrugged.
Soon everyone had eaten a piece of delicious chocolate cake put out by Alicia's mom. Tia had noticed Angel's piece was half the size of everyone else's. Apparently Mrs. A held a grudge. Which Tia would have understood if she had spent six hours perfecting that cake like Alicia's mom had.
"So." Mrs. A questioned. "What have you kids been up too?" Alicia began to cough but Angel looking totally calm answered. "Playing pin the tail on the donkey."
Mrs. A smiled. "I remember that was once a favorite game of mine. I'm glad you kids are playing safe games and not that nonsense kids today came up with. Truth and Dare, Spin the Bottle.total rubbish!"
"No." Angel laughed. "We wouldn't do that."
"Yeah," Logan chimed in. "Those games are ludicrous!" Then he and Angel laughed simultaneously leaving Mrs. A with a very uneasy smile.
"Everyone I hope you remembered to bring your bathing suits! Cause were hitting my pool!" There was some cheering as the girls and guys headed to separate rooms to change.
Angel was the only one left sitting in the room. "Guess it's just me and you Mrs. A. I got no swim suit." He smirked.
Mrs. A imagining a whole new world of torture dragged Angel upstairs to find him one of her sons bathing suits. It took a lot of coaxing but Angel finally put one on. 'I fell so sorry for his parents' She thought after shoeing Angel outside.
Part 4
"Hey Angel," Tia called from her easy chair noticing his arrival. "You trying out for the circus?"
"Very funny." He muttered looking down at his swim shorts with great distaste. It was true he did look like a clown. The shorts were pink, orange, red, and yellow striped.
Logan grimaced. "Dude, what did Alicia's mom do to you?"
"She didn't DO anything," Tia sneered. "He was always a fashion disaster."
"Stuff it Rameriaz!" He growled clenching his jaw.
"Angel!," Alicia called. "Aren't you coming swimming?" She was already in the pool attempting the doggy paddle, her only move.
"I thought we were hosting a cannibal contest." Clover called from an easy chair next to Tia's. Angel had to admit they did look hot. Clover was in a bright orange two piece and Tia was in a black one. Angel laughed inwardly as Clover treated Logan like a waiter, asking him for a glass of juice and so on. Then he ran around scrambling to fill her order. Angel vowed he would never sink that low, no matter how hot the girl was.
"Hey Angel!" Tia said. "I left my black shades inside, do you mind getting them?"
"Sure." He responded and It was only when he was carrying the shades back to her did he realize he was just like Logan. "Dam!" He muttered.
Once Angel got outside again he handed Tia her sunglasses and began to walk away.
"Angel!" she called again.
"No! Whatever it is NO!" He yelled his patience gone. He turned to look at Tia. She was holding suntan lotion with a pout.
"I just wanted you to rub this on my back."
Angel smiled. "Oh, OK."
"Clover watch this!" Logan called. He was standing on the highest diving board. Then he jumped and landed in the water with a huge splash, spraying Tia and Angel.
"Uh!" Tia shrieked. "I was tanning here and my suntan lotion didn't even dry yet! You jerk, you idiot, you complete mor-"
"Hey Tia." Angel smiled interrupting her tirade. "How wet are you?"
Tia was to busy thinking about the multiple meaning of 'wet' when Angel pushed her in the pool. As she swam to the surface sputtering she saw him and Logan high five.
"Uh you jerk!" She cried. Angel expecting her to go on and on with the insults readied himself for a lecture. However she grabbed his ankle and pulled him in after her.
Logan and Clover watched as they began a water fight. She pushed him under, he surfaced, picked her up while she shrieked in laughter and dunked her under a few dozen times.
"Well they're having fun." Clover muttered.
"Aren't you?" Logan asked in concern. All day he'd been trying to think up a way to ask Clover out. But his cowardly nature got the best of him.
"Yes, it's so obvious that they like each other. I'll give them another week before they get together." Clover smirked. "Either that or they explode."
Logan ran a hand threw his brown hair. "Nah I give them two weeks. Either that or they kill each other."
"Please," Clover grinned. "I know Tia better then anyone. Are you questioning my intelligence?"
"Maybe, are you hosting a bet?"
Clover nodded. "Fine. We'll bet. If Tia and Angel get together in one week I win a constellation prize of ice-cream and if they get together in two you get a penny."
Logan was to busy admiring her smile to realize he had just been tricked into winning a penny. "The bet starts now." They shook hands professionally. "Oh, and Clover?" Logan started. "Today when you said Duo was your best kiss.."
"Yeah?" Clover prompted. Logan leaned down and brushed his lips against her in a soft sweet motion. But it was over all to quick for Clover as he pulled away seconds after.
Logan winked. "So do you wanna change that answer? I was better then Duo right?" Clover smiled coyly. "Wouldn't you like to know." And with a swish of her pony tail she was gone, leaving Logan to decide that when it was his turn to die a female would be behind it.
