Lei goes out into the backyard and lights a cigarette. He stands there, allowing it to smoulder for a while.

"Psst!"

He looks around, trying to see what's making that sound.

"Lei! Lei, over here!" something by the fence whispers. He goes over there.

"Yes?"

"Is this Jin's house?"

Lei turns around and watches Jin's impressive, inherited mansion, the only house on the hill and the only house he would have a reason to visit. He decides not to make any comments.

"Yes."

"Good... Is Paul there?"

"No, he won't be here for a while."

"Wonderful!"

Julia climbs over the face and falls down on the grass. She gets up quickly and brushes some grass off her shirt.

"Phew! So... having fun yet, Lei?"

"No, not really. People aren't drunk yet, so I have no one to beat up."

"Ah." She says in a tone of complete understanding. "I thought you don't smoke."

"I don't, I just like to have stuff in my hands that burn." He then adds a demonic laughter.

"Yeeeaah! Who doesn't?" Julia rolls her eyes as if she was trying to see the evil green leprechaun who told Lei to burn things."So who are here?"

Lei thinks for a moment.

"Apart from you and me, it's Law, Hwoarang, Nina, Anna, Jin, Ogre, possibly Heihachi and Mokujin."

"Mokujin? What thenature's name is he doing here?"

"I have no idea. Maybe he wants a change of environment."

They laugh at the poor joke. Not that any of them actually got it, but it sounded like a joke and the other one was laughing, so they did to. They eventually fell silent.

"So... nice place he's got here." Julia tries to start another conversation.

"It really is, don't you think? Just wait until midnight when the walls in the bathroom starts to bleed."

"Bleed...?"

Julia has a shocked expression on her pretty little fake-Indian face.

"But I can't stand the sight of blood!"

Lei rolls his eyes.

"Then stay away from the bathroom at midnight, Julia. Even I can figure that out. Sheesh..."

Julia looks a little embarrassed.

"Eeer... yeah. I will. You can tell this house is haunted. Did you notice?"

"No. How?"

"The statues of lions at the gate. They're a sure sign."

Meanwhile, at the gate, Eddy and Bryan just arrived. Eddy is looking at one of the lions.

"He doesn't look like a partaay duuude..." Eddy says to Bryan, who tries desperately to see one of the lions clearly. He waves a bottle of beer at it.

"'ere... 'ave a BEER!" he slurs. Eddy gives him a questioning look.

"Bryan, that bottle is empty."

"Sho? 'e's made a shtone, Eddy, 'e donnae care..."

Eddy takes out a hilarious little party hat from the limo and puts it on the lions head.

"Better! Now let's partaay!" he says happily and blows one of those hilarious little party horns.

Julia taps her foot against the ground.

"So are you going to be here all night?"

Lei shrugs.

"Not if I find something better to do. And that's not very hard, now is it? You see, I secretly loathe the lot of you and will eventually kill one of you when my deeply set emotional issues surface in the morning."

Julia stares at him.

"Did you mean that?"

"Of course I did, Julia. But I'm not worried, you won't remember anything tomorrow morning anyway. Believe me..." he says in a very suspicious way, grinds the cigarette into the ground and goes back inside with an evil snicker. Julia still stands there, too shocked to say anything. Then she frowns.

"What in Mother earth's name has happened to that door?"

Eddy storms in through the door, looking around eagerly.

"Where's the partaay? Where, where, where?"

Bryan comes in after him, looking around in his own personal ale fog.

"Beer?" he grunts.

Jin comes to greet them and then stops, a little confused.

"Wait... you made it all the way here from Brazil in that short time?"

Eddy looks confused too.

"I was in Brazil? Why would Bryan live in Brazil?"

"Who's Brazil?" Bryan mumbles, still trying to find some beer to spend the night with. Eddy and Jin looks at each other for a while, and then shrugs.

"Whatever. Hey, I brought my DJ along with me, hope you don't mind."

A huge, black man comes in through the door. He's carrying a gigantic CD-player on his shoulder. He waves his hand at Jin in a hip-hopish way.

"Yo bitch!"

Jin stares.

"Uh... yeah, whatever. Put him in the living room, would you?"

The DJ grumbles and leaves. In just a few moments, music can be heard all over the house. Eddy grins happily.

"Great surround-system, Jin! I thought we'd have to stay out of the living room."

"I have a surround-system?"

"BEER!" Bryan bellows happily and stumbles into the kitchen. Julia comes in from the living room. She spots Eddy and Jin and decides to join the crowd.

"Hi Eddy!" she purrs. They glance at her.

"Hi Julia." They say in unison.

"Nice house, Jin! But I won't touch the bathroom."

"You do that." He answers, just barely aware that she just said something.

"Eddy, that guy in the living room, is he yours?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah, bet he is."

No one else says anything for a while. Julia finally gets bored and leaves. Jin and Eddy watches her leave the room.

"Phew."

"Finally!"

"She's really annoying."

"Tell me about it."

"Why did you invite her?"

"I didn't. She just showed up."

"Typical Julia."

"Yeah."

They're quiet for a while. Then Eddy gets a look dawning suspicion on his face.

"Hey Jin..." he whispers. "Paul, is he... is he here?"

"Not yet."

"Phew. Thank God!"

"Want a beer?"

"Better get one now before Bryan takes them all."

Eddy leaves to get the bottle of beer (and probably the only beer) for the evening and Jin was right behind him when he suddenly heard a knock on his door. Jin gets to open the door, there stood a little boy-like dummy, he was shaking and was holding a kitchen knife in his hands.

"P-please good sir let me in, it's cold outside and the wolves are after me." The boy said and stared at Jin with his eyes filled with tears.

"Forget it Chucky, I ain't falling for that trick again." The boy-like dummy looks very angry. "Here" Jin says "Have a candy-bar and get outta 'ere." He closes the door.

Roughly about half an hour passes. The doorbell rings. Jin opens it and sees Xiaoyu standing there with Dr. B... She looks slightly disgusted. Jin gives them a surprised look.

"You didn't have to bring a date, you know."

"Eeew..." Is all she manages to whine.

"She's not my date. She's my escort." Dr. B. says happily. "She promised she would act as my escort," he winks at Jin. "if I never tried to touch her again."

"He's been grabbing my butt all the way here!" she shrieks. Dr. B. tries to look innocent.

"So, uh... come in then."

As soon as they get inside the door, Xiaoyu breaks free.

"Ha! I held my part of the deal, now I'm untouchable!"

Dr. B. grumbles something and nods. She dances out into the kitchen. Dr. B. looks at Jin.

"I'll just harass Nina a little."

Jin compares himself to Dr. B. in his head, pretending he's Nina. The choice is pretty obvious. He grins.

"Yeeaahh... you do that."

"Whee!"

Jin is about to leave, when he hears footsteps on the other side of the door. He opens it and meets Yoshimitsu's angry eyes.

"You lying son of a bitch!" he snarls. Jin smiles.

"What? I never lie, do I?"

"'Come to my place and watch wrestling'? Nice try, you've got no antenna on the top of your house. I bet you don't even have a TV! And there is no Playstation either, is there!"

Jin looks down.

"No."

Yoshimitsu's face is white (bwahahahah) with anger. He pushes his way past Jin and storms into the kitchen, where he is greeted with a happy "BEER!". Jin doesn't close the door, he sees King coming. He waves. King towers up in front of him.

"King is here!" he proudly announces and gives Jin a killer look. "And he left work for it, so this better be a killer party."

"Oh, it is. Come in, have a beer, murder Law or punch the DJ."

"You have a DJ?"

"No, he's not really mine."

"But there is a DJ?"

"Apparently, since the music is still playing."

"Cool! A DJ! And beer?"

"Always."

King makes his way into the kitchen. Jin closes the door.
