Chapter 8:

The club's layout was this: As soon as you went in the doors, (after you were hit with the intense waves of music...) you descended down iron steps whose railing was lined with little neon lights and circle lights in the sides of the steps so you didn't fall in the club's dark atmosphere. After you made it down the stairs, you were now in the rear seating area that was filled with tables and booths. There were two seating areas, one level as you just came off of the steps, and another smaller area beside and in front pf the large dance floor. To get to the second seating area and to the dance floor, you just went through openings in the low black divider of the areas that was low enough so those sitting in the rear seating area could see the rest of the club from their seats and then down four steps.

The dance floor was in the middle and to the left of it was the large bar. Beyond the dance floor was a stage and on both sides of the stage were large screens. When music was playing, different animations of different colors and designs were played on them. Scattered about the perimeter of the dance floor were smaller tables that only seated two or four. The clubs atmosphere was dark and lights of all different colors flashed over the dance floor. In the seating area long modern lights, that were dimmed, were suspended from the ceiling directly over each of the tables and booths so people could see a bit more clearly. The flooring in the seating areas was durable and waterproof carpeting. The booths and chairs were black, and the tables were black and gray marble with little multicolored orb lights in the middle of them. The DJ station was to the right of the stage and techno music poured loudly from the speakers placed throughout the club. The dance floor was huge and was made of large black squared tiles with all sorts of lights and designs shining down on it. This was the Club Twilight, one of the most popular clubs in town.

The group had taken a seat in a large circular black booth. The girls immediately ran for the dance floor after leaving their purses and bags to be guarded by the boys, and Viole had wandered off to the bathroom after complaining about some bad brie cheese and wheat crackers he had ate for lunch. They had already ordered drinks and received them surprisingly fast as packed as the club was tonight. The guys were all immersed in chat except for Dilandau, who was dead bored and had one leg up on the booth while he fiddled with the oddly shaped little lamp in the middle of the table.

Angry and irritated he scowled, "Been here 2 minutes and I'm already bored. Someone remind me why I decided to come?"

Migel took a big sip of his mountain dew and leaned back, "Because Kira asked you to come. She seemed pretty psyched, so I guess something special is going to happen. Maybe she's going to sing. After all, it is a karaoke contest tonight."

Dilandau glanced over at Migel, and then stood up, jumping over the back of the booth. They all stared at him questioningly as he put his hands in his pockets and began to walk away. He was being especially careful not to get too close to the massive dance floor packed full with people busting out their moves. His cursed good looks attracted the girls crazily.

Migel shrugged at Dilandau's actions and laid back against the cushioning booth, "Wow, I was surprised he even came. But I'm glad he did."

Chesta chuckled and shook his head, "He doesn't have a problem with going out, he has a problem with WHO he will be with when he does."

Dallet, Migel, and Chesta laughed. Guimel was smiling at the wonder of the club while Gatti zoned out on his drink, peering deeply into the clear liquid (Hehe, I can't wait, they're right about Kira entering the contest, but she won't be the only one up there....haha...)

Guimel glanced at Gatti concerned, "Gatti! You alive over there?"

"Huh?" He looked over at them as they stared at him curiously.

He began to panic, "I was-"

Dallet's eyes widened and he pointed out into the club, "Look at Viole! What a liar! Going to the bathroom my ass!"

Gatti sighed in relief that they focused their attention elsewhere or else they might have forced the 'surprise' out of him.

They all looked out into the dance floor and spotted Viole being dragged out by two giggling girls. Viole hung his head in defeat and began to dance after they had begged him for a few seconds.

Dallet threw his arm over Guimel's shoulder, causing him to yelp. Dallet poked his forehead playfully, "He's always getting dragged off like that, Guimel, I think you need to take some pointers from the king of Woo so you can get girls crawling all over you like that!"

Guimel pulled Dallet off of him and brushed off his shoulder, "That's quite alright Dallet. I'm fine right where I am. And I hope you aren't considering yourself the King of woo..."

They all looked up as a girl with short curly bleach blond hair and purple eyes smacked her hands down on their table causing the guys to jump, and beamed mischievously at Guimel.

She winked seductively, "Hi there cutie pie. Come dance!"

Migel sighed, "My speechless friend here doesn't like dancing, so I doubt a spunky girl like you would be his type."

She shot him a challenging glare before slipping into a southern accent, "Well you see there bud, I looooove them little sheep critters and your friend here is such a cutie pie. I'm sure I can get him to dance. I work at a sheep farm and I can hog tie sheep like a police officer wins a doughnut eating contest."

Dallet laughed and stood up so Guimel could get out. Guimel just sat there staring at the girl, dumbfounded and gaping at her.

Guimel was too slow to piece together what was going on, and before he knew it, the girl was hastily yanking him out of the booth and dragging him over to the dance floor. He looked back pleadingly at his friends, but they only waved and raised their drinks to him in a toast.

Chesta laughed, "Poor Guimel, he'll never come out with us again after tonight."

Migel chuckled and patted Chesta on the back, "Sure he will, he knows he likes it."

Gatti sniggered and stood up, "Well fellas, I'm going to go roam, guard our stuff well." He saluted them and walked away quickly.

Migel lifted up his left arm and sniffed his armpit, "I don't stink do I?"

Chesta rolled his eyes and looked at his watch, which read 7:55.

Dilandau grinned as he spotted an unattended bottle of Smirnoff Ice that still had the lime slice in the nozzle. It was sitting on an un-occupied table.

"Well, well, must be my lucky day."

He casually walked over and snatched it off the table. He plucked out the lime and took a long swig. He took a seat at an empty table over in the corner to the right of the dance floor. He didn't like being that close to it, and he knew he was probably setting himself up to be asked to dance with some air headed girl, but he didn't care. He stared at the bottle and then took another drink. He looked up at the empty stage as a green haired girl with glasses trotted over to the microphone in the center front of the stage. She motioned towards the DJ and he turned down the music, causing all those currently dancing to look towards the stage as the neon green haired girl's image appeared on the screens.

She adjusted the microphone to her height and cleared her throat before beginning, "Ahem! Hello and welcome to Club Twilight's annual karaoke contest! I'll be your host for this evening! My name is Erica! The contest will begin at 8:00 on the dot, and I must say! We have tons of entries tonight ladies and gentlemen!"

The club broke out into an uproar of applause, whistling, and wooting.

"Now I hope you're all ready! I know there's going to be lots of talented young ladies and men, and I also know we're going to have a few...erm...duds... But let's be nice and give them a round of applause anyway! Because it is really nerve racking to come up here before YOU! The awesome club goers of Club Twilight!" With that she gave a twirl and spun over to the DJ, "All music has been brought to you by our totally bonzer disk jockey, Ethan!"

The DJ waved and played on his synthesizer, shaking his head of blue hair with the beat, and the many colorful lights reflecting off of his goggles. The crowd burst into another fit of cheering.

Dilandau shook his head and rolled his eyes as the Erica girl skipped back over to the middle of the stage and with a few flashy hand movements, acted like she chucked something onto both of the screens, causing two big timers to appear on each of them.

"Now! When the timers reach ZEROOOO is when our many contestants will sing their souls out and maybe take home a prize of 400 dollars! Until then! Continue enjoying yourselves at our club! And come back any time!" She waved perkily and ran off behind stage.

Dilandau took another swig of his drink as the timers began counting down, there was about 5 minutes left before the contest began. He wasn't really looking forward to it, but he figured he had a good view and might as well watch the people who think they had talent make fools out of themselves. He laughed and continued to drink.

Gatti looked behind him to make sure none of the guys had seen him walk to the entrance of backstage and quickly snuck in.

He scanned over the many people looking for two in particular, "Now... Where are they?"

There were tons of people pruning themselves and testing their voices backstage in preparation for the contest. There were girls as well as guys. Some of the people looked like whores or princesses and some looked like NSync wannabes and rappers. He stood on his toes to look out over the crowd until he spotted who he was looking for, "Aha!"

He pardoned his way through the masses until he reached Kira and Satori who were sitting on the black leather couch talking.

He stood there for a while, dazed by how friggin hot they looked.

Kira and Satori sweat dropped, "Yes Gatti?"

He shook himself out of his trance and smiled, "I came to see if you guys were ready and rearing to go. Damn, you guys are looking hot!"

Kira and Satori laughed, "Not looking too bad yourself Gatti. We've already seen the roster sheet, and as it would be. We're dead last."

Gatti frowned slightly, "Bummer, but then again the best is for last."

Satori smiled, "True, I can't wait either. The tension is so damn thick you could cut it with a knife!"

Kira put her arms behind her head and laid back, "So, uh, is everyone here?"

Gatti sat on the arm of the couch, "Yeah. The girls were dancing and I left Chesta and Migel and the others at the booth. Viole was last seen being dragged onto the dance floor with two girls. Some other girl dragged off Guimel, I didn't know who she was but she looked like a slut, I guess we should go rescue him sometime. I don't know where Dilandau is though."

Kira scoffed, "Wow, I didn't think he would show up."

Satori sighed and looked up at the ceiling (It will be so nice to see them all again. I wonder how much they've changed...God I hope they understand, but if they don't I'm fully prepared to except the consequences.)

Loreli, Eiji, Sonson, and Mina were dancing together in a little circle of their own, attracting the stares of many guys.

Mina grinned as one guy with spiked blonde hair came up to her, "Hey there, mind if I have this dance?"

She grinned seductively and got closer to him as the pace of the song quickened, "Sure hotty. If you can keep up."

Sonson walked over to a fairly handsome guy with short chocolate hair she'd been eyeing, and stepped between him and the girl he was dancing with, "Mind if I cut in?" he had looked rather unhappy dancing with this girl so she had figured she could help him out.

The guy seemed fairly relieved, "NO! Not at all!"

They grinned at each other and began to bump and grind, leaving the girl fuming, who later stomped over towards the bathroom muttering something along the lines of 'No good tramp, guy stealing whore'.

Eiji and Loreli were also asked to dance with rather handsome fellows. Eiji was having a good time swing dancing with her black haired and fairly suave partner, while Loreli couldn't help but keep looking over towards the DJ, Ethan. He was tall and lean and had black eyeliner on and many piercings. She thought he looked gorgeous.

Her partner noticed, "Hey, something wrong?" His green eyes flashed slight concern.

She looked back at him, blushing slightly, "Oh! No, nothing is wrong, I'm ok..."

He raised an eyebrow and twirled her, "Alright, you looked kind of distant there."

She faked a smile, and her eyes once again wandered over to the DJ (Why do I keep looking at the fucking DJ! I mean sure he has rich, blue hair, a few piercings, and a noticeable tattoo, and rippling muscles under that tight sleeveless shirt.... Dammit!!!! Arg! .... That must be it. I like his music. Yes, the DJ has very nice muscles... I MEAN MUSIC!)

She groaned and realized how pathetic her partner's many attempts to impress her with his moves were. Oh well, good thing she had something to focus on eh?

Viole had managed to tear away from his newly formed fan club girls, and had returned to the booth where Chesta, Dallet, and Migel were sitting.

4 Minutes later

Dallet laughed at Viole's story on how he had intended on going to the bathroom, but ended up getting dragged off by the girls, "Wow Viole, they just kind of flock to you. It must be your charming, James bond aura."

Chesta chuckled as Viole sighed and took a drink of his tea, "Hey, that's fine as long as he doesn't bring the herd over this way. We had strict orders not to leave the booth unguarded for any purpose, and Guimel seems to have forgotten that tiny fact." Chesta cringed as he spotted poor Guimel trying to escape the whore lady's grip on him.

Viole leaned on his elbow, taking notice to the lack of population at the table, "Hey, where'd Gatti and Dilandau get to?"

Migel crossed his arms and had an unsure look on his face, "Dilandau hopped the booth and wandered off to who knows where. And Gatti slinked off, again I don't know where to."

Chesta sat back with a thinking look, "Yeah, did you guys notice that something was going on? Kira's not here and I just have a feeling something is going to happen. I don't know if it's good or bad."

Dallet began blowing bubbles in his drink, "I noticed Kira was acting weird. Kind of hyper yet very, very....um... odd."

The others agreed to his words.

A loud bell noise went off and everyone looked towards the stage as the timers both read zero and Erica appeared on stage again.

"Ahem! Well gals and gents! It's time to begin the contest! The first young lady to be performing for you tonight is Stacy Magello! She'll be singing the Milkshake song!"

Erica scurried off stage as a girl dressed in fishnets and pink short shorts, high heels, and a neon pink halter-top, made her way to the center of the stage. She had double buns in her strawberry red hair. Once there she took the microphone off it's pole and winked at the DJ. Ethan cringed, but began playing the song as the girl started moving in very, very, very scary ways. Let's just say she must have mistaken the club for a strip joint with those moves...
