Power Plant 6:30p.m.
"Spike are you sure you know what you're doing?" The power plant worker named Harris asked of his partner.
"Trust me mate, I know what I'm doing." He cut this blue wire thingy and taped the hanging ends to the red wire thingy. "Try it now."
"Okay." Harris said as he pulled down a huge black lever.
The lights flickered for a few seconds before going completely out, plunging them in total darkness. "What the @#%$?" He tried to push it back up but nothing happened. He switched it back and forth until eventually the lever broke off.
"Look at what you did you stupid bint." Yelled Spike.
"Me, you're the one who fucked up." Harris yelled right back at him.
Suddenly a voice came through the walky talky. "Spike, Harris, what hell are you two doing up there?"
"Uh, Mr. Buffy ma'am, we have a situation." Said Spike.
"You bet your ass you do. You two idiots just shut down power across half this freaking state. The other half didn't have any to began with."
Meanwhile… Maria's House
They were at the scene in 13 Ghosts where two of the ghosts were killing the crazy psychic. Tess was holding on to Kyle, Isabel to Alex, Michael to Maria, and the two sluts to each other. Max was pretending that it was the girl he liked boyfriend that was being murdered. It was right at that climatic moment that the lights went out. All the girl (with the exception of Maria) and Michael started screaming.
Maria rolled her eyes at their panic. "Chill everybody. There are some emergency candles and flashlights in the kitchen. I'll be right back."
Max hopped up and followed her. "Do you have a batter operated radio?"
"Yeah it's somewhere in the hall closet." She handed him a flashlight. "Here take this so you can see. It should be on the top shelf, the batteries are next to it."
He walked back into the living room with the radio. Maria walked to the front door and looked out it. "The lights are out in the whole neighborhood."
Max and Kyle were fiddling with the radio. Once the got it to work they turned it on. "Wide spread blackout through out the state. We have yet to discover the cause and there is no estimated time as to when they will be back up. Please stay tuned…"
"Oh well that answers that question." Isabel said. "So what should we do?"
"The phone's are still working. Call your parents and let them know where you are." Maria said.
One Hour later
"Hey it's getting boring. Let's do something fun." Tess stated.
"Like what?" Maria asked.
"Well I don't know. Spin the bottle or something. Better yet truth or dare." Isabel suggested.
"Or even better naked twister." Slut #1, I mean Liz offered.
Everyone pretty much ignored her because as you know naked twister is pretty useless when you can barely see a person. "Let's play spin the bottle with some variations." Max said.
"Such as?" Maria asked.
"Well for one since we can barely see who the bottle lands on we could use a flashlight instead." At everyone's nod of agreement he continued. "And if same sex lands on same sex, we wanna see some kissing."
"Umm eww." Said the two sluts. What sluts balking at something kinky? (Input: by the way did I forget to mention that the narrator is insane as well? Well she is.) "That's gross. I'm not kissing a girl."
"I don't know…" Maria grinned. "I sure would like to see two guys kissing. I'm in."
One by one everyone nodded their agreement. "Okay and also you have to kiss right here. No closet."
When no one disagreed they all gathered in a circle and set the flashlight in the middle. They voted that Michael would go first. "Okay, let the games began."
