"I'm Breathless" part 4

A/N: HELL YEAH! SCHOOL IS OUT! I am pumped up as hell and needed to update something, and this is the story I chose. Also, this chapter is based off of the idea of the 7th season episode Lost Souls, only in my own words and my own ending, and it's also now around October 2002.

Chapter 4: "I'm Going Bananas"

Lucy looked at herself in her bedroom vanity. She had just finished brushing her hair and applying her makeup. I look fine, she concluded and got up from her seat in front of the vanity. But the minute she did, her legs felt terribly wobbly and she stumbled to the floor.

Lucy yanked her body off of the ground. She walked over to her bed and planted herself right down. Maybe it wasn't a good idea if she went out tonight.

No, Lucy had to go out tonight even if she was as tired as hell. The school week had been tough, loaded with writing assignments, Lucy hated writing assignments, and a bunch of homework and tests and all that other fun stuff. Which is why Lucy had been looking forward to tonight, hers and Kevin's Friday double date with Chandler and Roxanne. They were going dancing down at the Pool Hall. Lucy had to go; she couldn't let Kevin, Chandler, and Roxanne all down. Besides, this would be fun.

"Fun if I had gotten more sleep," Lucy mumbled pulling herself off of her bed. Oh, and did I forget to mention, it was that certain time of the month for Lucy, so she was very tried and moody. Lucy yawned and groaned and pulled herself out of the bed fully in a tired fashion.

"I'm sooooooo tired." "Why did we plan this stupid double date for this week?" "I want SLEEP!" All of these thoughts ran through Lucy's head as she forced herself out of her room and down the stairs.

"Happiness will never last

Darkness comes to kick your ass

So let's dance through all of this

War is over for a bit

The whole world should be moving

Do your part, cure a lonely heart"

(Kylie Minogue, "Your Disco Needs You")

Roxanne and Kevin sat at a table in the Pool Hall. Lucy and Chandler were both running late. Kevin sat staring a mug of beer and stirring it broadly with a spoon. Roxanne sat running her fingers through her hair as she strummed her left hand on the table.

"Damn, Roxanne, quit it!" Kevin snapped, swatting Roxanne's hand off the table.

"Yes, oh Your Majesty!" Kevin ignored Roxanne's sarcastic comeback.

The song playing on the radio changed. A Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds song, not exactly the happiest artists in the world, had been playing previously. This new song was much more upbeat with a female signing. Kevin turned to Roxanne.

"Well, since Luce and Chandler are so late, may I have this dance?" Kevin asked, extending a hand. Roxanne giggled.

"Sure, Madame," Roxanne replied with a laugh, taking his hand.

"Not funny, Richardson," Kevin said to Roxanne as they found a spot on the dancefloor.

"You're just a sourpuss!" Roxanne said.

They both danced until the song ended. The next song was a more slow motion song, but they decided to cut in anyway. So, Kevin and Roxanne slow danced.

"Please stay, my babe

Who knows when we'll dance again

And I don't want to know regret

I'll do all that I can just to get you to stay, my babe

Who knows when we'll dance again

And I don't want to say goodbye

Cause who knows where we'll be after tonight"

(Kylie Minogue, "Please Stay")

Lucy walked into the Pool Hall. She knew that she was very late, so she looked around for Kevin, Chandler, or Roxanne.

There was no Chandler. He must have been running late too. But Lucy sure saw Kevin and Roxanne. They were slow dancing, holding each other real closely, right before her own two eyes.

What the hell was going on?

"I'm Going Bananas"

Hola! Es el pato loco!

I'm going bananas
And I feel like my poor little mind is being devoured by piranhas
For I'm going bananas

I'm non compos mentes
And I feel like a tooth being drilled, a nerve being killed by a dentist
For I'm non compos mentes

Who knows
Could be the tropic heat
Or something that I eat
That makes me gonzo
I do carry on so, for I'm going bananas
Someone book me a room in the hot haciendo with all my mananas
For I'm going bananas

I'm going meshuga
All day long there's a man in my brain incessently playing "booga wooga"
But I'm going meshuga

There's bats in my belfry
Won't you make sure this straightjacket's tight
Otherwise I might get myself free
Yes, there's bats in my belfry

Who knows
Could be the wine I drink
Or it's the way I think
That makes me gonzo
Oh, Doctor Alonzo says I'm going bananas
Someone get me a bed in the "Casa de Loco" for all my mananas
For I'm going bananas
Yes, I'm going bananas
Si, I'm going bananas
