Ch 18 Reunion and Preparation
A/N: Hey people, thanks for the reviews, seriously, I've got to write thank you letters if you leave an e-mail...
This chapter is kind of pointless really...I just got home from orchestra and I'm really tired! I don't feel like writing but I'm doing this all for you people...
I'M SO SORRY THAT IT TOOK SO FREAKING LONG!!! And this chapter is pointless too!!! I'm sorry, but I NEED an inspiration, that's why you as readers must write reviews!
Suze's POV
I watched as Jesse walked into the lion's den, in essence; he just went up to Katrina who looked murderous. Then he went to the lion and snuggled up with her-wait, screw that thought. I leaned against the doorway, trying to listen. Gosh, can't Jesse tell that Katrina's REALLY, really upset?
MEN!
"Hello Katrina." He said pleasantly. "Did you find her?"
I heard myself groan. Idiots these days!
Katrina's blonde hair was all messed up and she looked horrible. She clawed restlessly at her face. "Where's Crissi? Where's? Where's ANYONE!? Sean has moved on and I feel DREADFUL."
She looked around and to my complete horror, her eyes had rolled back just like Heather's eyes that one time.
I heard Sean trying to get out of the closet but I guess Jesse locked it.
Katrina noticed this too and snapped, "What's that? Does Crissi have mice in her house or something?" She looked at Jesse menacingly.
Jesse looked ready to kill her back. "Are you looking for Crissi? Or are you confusing her with Susan--------"
He didn't finish because Katrina noticed her picture on my computer screen.
"Why, am I, on your computer?"
HIS COMPUTER, so everything in his room was feminine looking and he's gay?
Thanks a lot Katrina, that's very comforting, make me still keep my confidents that Jesse loves me and isn't bisexual...
Katrina's head snapped back up and she looked wildly around. She sniffed the air which I found REALLY freaky and she said, "Jesse, why are you lying to me?"
Jesse feigned innocence. "What are you talking about?"
Katrina retorted, "You know perfectly well what I'm talking about. We- are-not-alone."
For a moment I thought she was Doc since he's always trying to convince people that WE ARE NOT ALONE and then I realized that I was in trouble.
All of a sudden, she met my eyes and I felt her rage. Dear God...
I was dead.
"Crissi!! IT'S YOU!" she disappeared and I looked wildly around trying to see where Katrina disappeared to then I felt a hand pull my head back and a knife to my throat.
Great...just great, say your prayers Suze...
"Good day Crissi, ready for tea?" she hissed angrily.
I was about to say, "No thank you, I don't like tea; it makes my breath smell bad like yours" when I heard Jesse shout, "NO! STOP! DON'T HURT MY QUERIDA!!!!"
Crissi lowered the knife slightly, SLIGHTLY. "You LIKE THIS DEMON?" she said through clenched teeth.
"Katrina, you don't understand, this isn't Crissi, its Susannah Simon"- Jesse started but then Katrina cackled like a witch or BIATCH I should say.
"Oh, what a coincidence!"-She said with mock pleasure-"Why does she look like her then?" she glared at Jesse then smiled at me. "I want my clothes back; you don't mind if I take them back do you Crissi?"
I saw the knife move up my cheek and I saw Jesse blanch. I felt a prickle and liquid drip down my cheek.
Jesse, help me, please, if you can't, I love you...
"NO! STOP KATRINA DARLING STOP!!!!!!!!!" everything stopped at that moment.
Katrina looked up and dropped the knife by my foot, missing it by an inch.
"In God's name..." she whispered.
I looked where she was looking at and my jaw dropped. I saw a handsome Sean. He looked pleased and his face gave him a look of a godly nature.
YAY! My hero!
"Katrina...it's me, your Pawn, it's Sean, do you remember me?" he said quietly. He opened his arms and Katrina let go of me and raced to Sean.
"Pawn, is it really you?"-PAWN? Oh...Sean...pawn...but why PAWN?! Even pudding would have been better-"My cute Pawn..." she stroked Sean's face with the back of her hand and she closed her eyes.
She opened them and her face was excited looking. She started fingering his cuffs.
"SEAN! IT'S really YOU! OH MY GOD, IT REALLY IS YOU, I THOUGHT YOU ABANDONED ME AND LEFT ME TO ETERNAL DAMNATION WHILE YOU MOVED ON!"
Then Sean swept her up and kissed her all over. It was very sickening and I turned around and went to the bathroom. Jesse followed suit.
I thought everything was getting along just great...until I heard a loud SLAP.
I turned around and saw Sean clutching his face. "Why did you slap me?"
Katrina looked upset. She started slapping poor Sean even more. "I SLAPPED YOU BECAUSE HERE I AM DEAD AND YOU GO GALLAVANTING AFTER CRISSI AND LEAVE ME BEHIND! THIS IS FOR LOVING CRISSI AND THIS IS FOR..." and on and on she went about her life as a ghost. Sean just nodded. He stopped her finally by kissing her.
"Who's this girl if she's not Crissi?" she pulled back and jerked her head in my direction and I froze. So did Sean and Jesse.
I opened my mouth to speak but Jesse shushed me.
"This is Susannah Simon, Crissi's cousin." Sean said.
Katrina looked at me. "Was it YOU that I was trying to kill all this time?"
I nodded and Katrina let out a little shriek. "Oh my God, I'm SO sorry! I was trying to kill Crissi; you must understand...I really wouldn't kill you if I didn't know..."
"Katrina, its okay, just shut up about it. Can you tell me what happened and how you know Crissi?"
She didn't answer me.
She stopped talking and she ignored my questions and focused her FULL attention on Sean.
"Pawn, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" she said coyly. I was scared.
"Yes dear,"-Sean coughed and looked at Jesse and me-"Susannah, Jesse, if you don't mind, we'll be busy, if you'll excuse us, could you stay out of your room? We need to-----talk."
Yeah, okay...sure...
"Sure thing Sean, we'll leave you two alone. Oh, and don't forget to use the condoms in my drawers..."
I winked, patted Sean on the back and left. Hey, I'm not being mean; he was when my top fell off therefore, it's only right to be a little cold.
I shut the door and leaned against the wall. So did Jesse.
"What do you think they'll do?" Jesse asked. I rolled my eyes.
"What do you think?" I asked.
"I don't know."
"Well here's what I think; I think they're going to get it on."
Jesse made a face. "What does 'going to get it on' mean?"
I laughed softly. "You don't want to know..."
Jesse smiled and I smiled back, then a thought tugged at me.
"Jesse?" I asked. Jesse looked at the ceiling and merely nodded (Did I mention that he looks SUPER HOT IN this t-shirt he's wearing?) "Do you like me?"
Jesse looked at me and opened his mouth to reply, only to be interrupted by Brad.
"Dude, why'd you leave them two lovebirds alone?" he asked, "You know how DANGEROUS that is?"
"I don't know, I don't think they'll do anything bad-" Jesse was cut short when we all heard a thump and people moving around in MY ROOM.
"Shit." I said. "In my room too, why MY room?" I asked.
"Not necessarily yours anymore..." Jesse said.
I smiled then stopped when I heard a really big thud and Katrina sounding constipated.
GROSS.
"EW!" Brad said, and then he reached for the doorknob. I slapped his hand.
"Stop it! Leave them alone!" I hissed.
Brad scoffed. "Yeah right!" then he opened the door and watched what they were doing. After a minute a book hit him squarely in the face and he shut the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two Hours Later after the lovebirds disappeared.
I had to wash my sheets. NOT FUNNY. It's got all this-stuff on it and it was GROSS. I had to get Jesse to wash it for me since it was so gross.
I got new sheets and snuggled in my bed (Katrina and Sean FREE) Jesse sat next to me on my bed and started smoothing the covers.
"Goodnight querida." He said and kissed my cheek. He shut the lights and I heard him go under the covers. IT was only seven but I told him that we would need our beauty sleep for the party.
When I was sure that Jesse was asleep, I got out of bed, went to his side and kissed him lightly on the lips. I sighed. Will Jesse EVER like me?
I continued kissing him when I realized that his hand went into my hair.
I stopped kissing him. "Jesse, are you AWAKE?"
Uh oh...
I saw Jesse's eyes open in the dark.
SHIT! He wasn't supposed to be awake!
"Yes querida, I'm wide awake. But that's fine."
Then he pushed my face into his and we locked lips.
Hmm...this isn't so bad. I thought as we continued kissing.
I guess I fell asleep like that because I woke up the next day on the floor with Jesse's hand in my hair. He was breathing deeply and his hair was all messed up.
"Jesse?" I whispered. "You awake?"
He didn't answer; he just continued breathing in deeply.
I tried to get up but his hand was stuck in my tangled up hair.
Great, I'm stuck; I'm connected to my future boyfriend, joy...
Half an hour later, I had pried off Jesse's hand and I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and crap.
I was brushing my hair when I decided to check up on Jesse. I looked in my room.
Hmm...it was two o'clock...no sign of Jesse...weird...wasn't he sleeping?
I felt someone cover my eyes. "Guess who..." someone whispered in my ear.
At first I panicked and thought it was Paul. Then the person uncovered my eyes and I saw Jesse holding a box out to me. His hair was still messed up and he was wearing an undershirt.
"Jesse? What did you get me?" I asked him. "When did you get this?" I grabbed the box and shook it gently. I heard nothing.
I opened it gently and I saw the most gorgeous jewelry box that looked like it cost a fortune. I dropped my brush and I looked up at Jesse.
"Aw, Jesse, thank you so much! Why did you get me this?" I looked into the little mirror thingy and saw that my hair was all messed up still.
"It's for all the jewelry you bought that one day at the mall, I got this when you went into, Victoria's Secret is it?"
I felt myself flush slightly. Jesse shouldn't have! This was so sweet, you don't have a guy giving you stuff now do you?
I opened a compartment and saw all my jewelry in it already, color coded and everything. I felt tears well up in my eyes. No guy ever did that for me, not one.
"Thank you Jesse, that's so nice of you." I choked. Jesse looked at the ground. "It was the least I could do, after..." he didn't finish the sentence.
I shall resist the urge to pounce on Jesse; I shall resist the urge to pounce on Jesse...
I thought. I looked at my watch.
"Oh my God, I'm going to be late! I'm sorry Jesse, I'm supposed to go visit CeeCee now. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!" I kissed his cheek and ran into my room. I took the jewelry box, the dress and all the stuff I had bought at the mall. Jesse walked out of the bathroom.
"Okay, let's see, dress, bathing suit, okay, I'm set. Jesse, see you at four, wear something casual, nothing fancy, okay? Okay, bye." Then I raced down the stairs in my PJs. I ran outside all the way to CeeCee's house.
"Let me see your pretty little smile!" I stretched CeeCee's face into a contorted grin. She glared at me.
"Not funny..." she mumbled as I stretched her mouth. "I look like a freak all 'cause of you!"
"Don't be ridiculous! You look gorgeous!"
In truth, CeeCee looked like an Elven princess. She looked like Arwen in Lord of the Rings, just ditch the dark brown hair and give Arwen contacts. CeeCee's hair was elegantly tied up in a bun (By yours truly) and I let her bangs go in front of her face to give her a mystical look. Her violet eyes were way bright and looked big because I gave her clear contacts and put purple shimmery eye shadow. I gave her a tinge of pink blush that showed her cheekbones and I put on her lips light, really light pink lip gloss that is SUPER shiny and cool and then she wore all the jewelry she bought that one day at the mall. She even had matching shoes.
You couldn't even tell that that was CeeCee Webb. This girl looked like a seventeen year old model that guys would classify as "Babe" and you'd see her face all over magazines and TV.
"You look great CeeCee now stop criticizing yourself." I scolded. It was true. I was seriously NOT lying.
CeeCee tried to flick her hair at me then realized that she couldn't. Then she resorted to "the hand". I laughed and sat on her bed.
"Now don't take that out whatever you do!! And don't change unless you want to swim."
"Hey! You can't get away with giving me a makeover and I not give you one!" she shouted then she pushed me to her bathroom.
"Hey-what are you doing-"
CeeCee interrupted me.
"You are taking a bath with this special stuff I bought just for today-"-she handed me a bottle of Dove body wash-"-and you are to come out in that lovely bikini of yours that Jesse's going to swoon over. Then, I am going to slather your face with makeup, got it?"
She tossed me a towel and shoved me in the bathroom.
"BE READY IN TWENTY MINUTES!" she shouted.
Thanks CeeCee...
I had no choice but to take a bath.
Twenty minutes later...
"GET OUT!!!"
It was CeeCee and I JUST got myself settled.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm getting out. Don't have a cow." I snapped. I got on my bathing suit and then I got out.
"Why do I need to wear a bikini?" I asked.
Then I was attacked by CeeCee. She slammed me onto her bed and got this roll of heavy duty clear, boxing tape.
Oh no, oh no, oh shit.
"CeeCee, don't tell me you're trying to give me a bikini wax or something..." I started. CeeCee looked thoughtful for a moment then she turned evil.
"Nah, no way, not a bikini wax, something close to that, I'm just going to "wax" your legs, arms, neck, back, armpits (If you need it) and that's it. Don't worry; you'll be so numb by the first try that you won't feel the rest."
"Hey, I'm not THAT hairy, okay? I'm perfectly proud of my not so hairy legs thank you..."
She pulled a strip of tape out and stuck it onto my legs.
"CEECEE, if you PULL that thing off I'm going to punch you." I threatened.
CeeCee grinned. "That's when Jesse comes in handy...OI! JESSE!"
Oh no, please tell me she's lying...aw shit.
I was appalled! Jesse was fraternizing with the enemy!
"Err, hey, Jesse, what are you doing here? He he..."
Jesse had strolled in wearing his normal clothing (Now that he was a living breathing person) and looked at CeeCee.
"You called?" he asked eyeing my bikini in a self-conscious manner.
CeeCee nodded. "Yes I did as a matter of fact. Can you hold Suze down while I pull the tape off? It's for her own good; researchers say that it nourishes the skin and lowers the risk for skin cancer."
YEAH RIGHT CEECEE!
Knowing Jesse would do anything for me, he said, "Sure, why not. Why do I have to hold her down though?"
CeeCee looked solemn. "It's very painful."
Jesse sighed. "Very well then, sorry querida."
He held me down by my legs and I tried to get away. "NOo!!"
CeeCee pulled and it hurt like HECK.
And she did that to the rest of my body.
Die CeeCee die.
"Okay Jesse, thank you, you may leave now."
Jesse nodded curtly and left.
"Get ready Jesse for a princess, wear something nice and we'll see you at 4:30. Buh-bye."
CeeCee cackled wickedly. "Now we dress you."
Aw hell...
An hour later...it is 4:20
"You look fabulous."
Really? I studied myself in the mirror. I SO did not look like myself.
I looked, gorgeous, I guess. My hair was tied expertly into a bun and she left two thin strands of hair out and it showed my facial features. I had pretty green eye shadow cream, light blush, light natural looking lip gloss, and eye liner on. The dress looked really pretty and I felt like a queen. The minty green dress was way pretty and the jewelry matched just right.
"Ready?" I asked CeeCee. She nodded and we both left carrying our swimsuits.
We walked outside to see Brad waiting for us. "Where's Crissi?" I asked.
"Had plans,"
"Nice tux."
"Shut up."
Brad picked us up and we went to the party.
Let's just hope I wore the right thing.
A/N: Hey people, thanks for the reviews, seriously, I've got to write thank you letters if you leave an e-mail...
This chapter is kind of pointless really...I just got home from orchestra and I'm really tired! I don't feel like writing but I'm doing this all for you people...
I'M SO SORRY THAT IT TOOK SO FREAKING LONG!!! And this chapter is pointless too!!! I'm sorry, but I NEED an inspiration, that's why you as readers must write reviews!
Suze's POV
I watched as Jesse walked into the lion's den, in essence; he just went up to Katrina who looked murderous. Then he went to the lion and snuggled up with her-wait, screw that thought. I leaned against the doorway, trying to listen. Gosh, can't Jesse tell that Katrina's REALLY, really upset?
MEN!
"Hello Katrina." He said pleasantly. "Did you find her?"
I heard myself groan. Idiots these days!
Katrina's blonde hair was all messed up and she looked horrible. She clawed restlessly at her face. "Where's Crissi? Where's? Where's ANYONE!? Sean has moved on and I feel DREADFUL."
She looked around and to my complete horror, her eyes had rolled back just like Heather's eyes that one time.
I heard Sean trying to get out of the closet but I guess Jesse locked it.
Katrina noticed this too and snapped, "What's that? Does Crissi have mice in her house or something?" She looked at Jesse menacingly.
Jesse looked ready to kill her back. "Are you looking for Crissi? Or are you confusing her with Susan--------"
He didn't finish because Katrina noticed her picture on my computer screen.
"Why, am I, on your computer?"
HIS COMPUTER, so everything in his room was feminine looking and he's gay?
Thanks a lot Katrina, that's very comforting, make me still keep my confidents that Jesse loves me and isn't bisexual...
Katrina's head snapped back up and she looked wildly around. She sniffed the air which I found REALLY freaky and she said, "Jesse, why are you lying to me?"
Jesse feigned innocence. "What are you talking about?"
Katrina retorted, "You know perfectly well what I'm talking about. We- are-not-alone."
For a moment I thought she was Doc since he's always trying to convince people that WE ARE NOT ALONE and then I realized that I was in trouble.

"Good day Crissi, ready for tea?" she hissed angrily.
I was about to say, "No thank you, I don't like tea; it makes my breath smell bad like yours" when I heard Jesse shout, "NO! STOP! DON'T HURT MY QUERIDA!!!!"
Crissi lowered the knife slightly, SLIGHTLY. "You LIKE THIS DEMON?" she said through clenched teeth.
"Katrina, you don't understand, this isn't Crissi, its Susannah Simon"- Jesse started but then Katrina cackled like a witch or BIATCH I should say.
"Oh, what a coincidence!"-She said with mock pleasure-"Why does she look like her then?" she glared at Jesse then smiled at me. "I want my clothes back; you don't mind if I take them back do you Crissi?"
I saw the knife move up my cheek and I saw Jesse blanch. I felt a prickle and liquid drip down my cheek.
Jesse, help me, please, if you can't, I love you...
"NO! STOP KATRINA DARLING STOP!!!!!!!!!" everything stopped at that moment.
Katrina looked up and dropped the knife by my foot, missing it by an inch.
"In God's name..." she whispered.
I looked where she was looking at and my jaw dropped. I saw a handsome Sean. He looked pleased and his face gave him a look of a godly nature.
YAY! My hero!
"Katrina...it's me, your Pawn, it's Sean, do you remember me?" he said quietly. He opened his arms and Katrina let go of me and raced to Sean.
"Pawn, is it really you?"-PAWN? Oh...Sean...pawn...but why PAWN?! Even pudding would have been better-"My cute Pawn..." she stroked Sean's face with the back of her hand and she closed her eyes.
She opened them and her face was excited looking. She started fingering his cuffs.
"SEAN! IT'S really YOU! OH MY GOD, IT REALLY IS YOU, I THOUGHT YOU ABANDONED ME AND LEFT ME TO ETERNAL DAMNATION WHILE YOU MOVED ON!"
Then Sean swept her up and kissed her all over. It was very sickening and I turned around and went to the bathroom. Jesse followed suit.
I thought everything was getting along just great...until I heard a loud SLAP.
I turned around and saw Sean clutching his face. "Why did you slap me?"
Katrina looked upset. She started slapping poor Sean even more. "I SLAPPED YOU BECAUSE HERE I AM DEAD AND YOU GO GALLAVANTING AFTER CRISSI AND LEAVE ME BEHIND! THIS IS FOR LOVING CRISSI AND THIS IS FOR..." and on and on she went about her life as a ghost. Sean just nodded. He stopped her finally by kissing her.
"Who's this girl if she's not Crissi?" she pulled back and jerked her head in my direction and I froze. So did Sean and Jesse.

"Okay, let's see, dress, bathing suit, okay, I'm set. Jesse, see you at four, wear something casual, nothing fancy, okay? Okay, bye." Then I raced down the stairs in my PJs. I ran outside all the way to CeeCee's house.

"Not funny..." she mumbled as I stretched her mouth. "I look like a freak all 'cause of you!"
"Don't be ridiculous! You look gorgeous!"
In truth, CeeCee looked like an Elven princess. She looked like Arwen in Lord of the Rings, just ditch the dark brown hair and give Arwen contacts. CeeCee's hair was elegantly tied up in a bun (By yours truly) and I let her bangs go in front of her face to give her a mystical look. Her violet eyes were way bright and looked big because I gave her clear contacts and put purple shimmery eye shadow. I gave her a tinge of pink blush that showed her cheekbones and I put on her lips light, really light pink lip gloss that is SUPER shiny and cool and then she wore all the jewelry she bought that one day at the mall. She even had matching shoes.
You couldn't even tell that that was CeeCee Webb. This girl looked like a seventeen year old model that guys would classify as "Babe" and you'd see her face all over magazines and TV.
"You look great CeeCee now stop criticizing yourself." I scolded. It was true. I was seriously NOT lying.
CeeCee tried to flick her hair at me then realized that she couldn't. Then she resorted to "the hand". I laughed and sat on her bed.

She tossed me a towel and shoved me in the bathroom.
"BE READY IN TWENTY MINUTES!" she shouted.
Thanks CeeCee...
I had no choice but to take a bath.
Twenty minutes later...
"GET OUT!!!"
It was CeeCee and I JUST got myself settled.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm getting out. Don't have a cow." I snapped. I got on my bathing suit and then I got out.
"Why do I need to wear a bikini?" I asked.

"Hey, I'm not THAT hairy, okay? I'm perfectly proud of my not so hairy legs thank you..."
She pulled a strip of tape out and stuck it onto my legs.
"CEECEE, if you PULL that thing off I'm going to punch you." I threatened.
CeeCee grinned. "That's when Jesse comes in handy...OI! JESSE!"
Oh no, please tell me she's lying...aw shit.
I was appalled! Jesse was fraternizing with the enemy!
"Err, hey, Jesse, what are you doing here? He he..."
Jesse had strolled in wearing his normal clothing (Now that he was a living breathing person) and looked at CeeCee.
"You called?" he asked eyeing my bikini in a self-conscious manner.
CeeCee nodded. "Yes I did as a matter of fact. Can you hold Suze down while I pull the tape off? It's for her own good; researchers say that it nourishes the skin and lowers the risk for skin cancer."
YEAH RIGHT CEECEE!
Knowing Jesse would do anything for me, he said, "Sure, why not. Why do I have to hold her down though?"
CeeCee looked solemn. "It's very painful."
Jesse sighed. "Very well then, sorry querida."
He held me down by my legs and I tried to get away. "NOo!!"
CeeCee pulled and it hurt like HECK.
And she did that to the rest of my body.
Die CeeCee die.
"Okay Jesse, thank you, you may leave now."
Jesse nodded curtly and left.
"Get ready Jesse for a princess, wear something nice and we'll see you at 4:30. Buh-bye."
CeeCee cackled wickedly. "Now we dress you."
Aw hell...
An hour later...it is 4:20
"You look fabulous."
Really? I studied myself in the mirror. I SO did not look like myself.
I looked, gorgeous, I guess. My hair was tied expertly into a bun and she left two thin strands of hair out and it showed my facial features. I had pretty green eye shadow cream, light blush, light natural looking lip gloss, and eye liner on. The dress looked really pretty and I felt like a queen. The minty green dress was way pretty and the jewelry matched just right.
"Ready?" I asked CeeCee. She nodded and we both left carrying our swimsuits.
We walked outside to see Brad waiting for us. "Where's Crissi?" I asked.
"Had plans,"
"Nice tux."
"Shut up."
Brad picked us up and we went to the party.
Let's just hope I wore the right thing.
