Boobs And Costumes
After a half an hour, the six friends pulled into a small motel. They checked in and entered their separate rooms. Sirius was quick to find the snack machines, and soon they were sitting in the girls' room, munching on stale hot fries and Oreos.
Ariel took a long sip of her Vanilla Coke and laid back on her bed. "This is the life."
A bright neon light flashed 'BOOBS' outside their window. Lily noticed this and walked over to the window, pulling down the shade. "Uck," she said disgustedly. "What guy is gonna give some ugly snaggle-toothed hoes money to show him her saggy boobs?"
"A little bitter, Lily?" Remus questioned.
Lily shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I have no respect for people who do that; not the men or the women."
This left the room a little awkward. The boys quickly finished their dinners and returned to their rooms.
Since it was still pretty early, only 10:00, the girls decided to put on their pjs and watch a couple Lifetime movies.
"This looks pretty interesting," Autumn said, pausing at a movie labeled One Sentence 'Till Seduction. Lily and Ariel agreed, and they began watching the film.
After two hours of pitiful acting the movie was over. Lily wiped the tears away from her eyes and said, "What's coming on next?"
Ariel checked the guide and said, "Oceans Eleven. I bet the guys would like that."
Autumn smiled and added, "Not as much as I will, what with Brad Pitt and George Clooney in it; they are so hot!"
Lily laughed. "I'll go get the guys."
She stood up and walked across the hallway. She knocked on the door and stood back, expecting the door to fly open. After a minute of waiting, she knocked again, harder this time. When still no one answered she went back to her room, a little puzzled.
Ariel and Autumn dragged their eyes away from Brad Pitt and looked at Lily. "What's up?" Ariel asked.
"They aren't answering," Lily answered.
Ariel and Autumn both looked confused for a moment, but then Autumn's face cleared. "I bet I know where they are," she said.
"Where?" Lily asked.
Autumn stood up and grabbed her jacket. "We'll need to go get them."
Ariel suddenly understood, and grabbed her hoodie, slipping it over her head. Lily, still befuddled, looked at her two friends.
"Three guys, staying less than a mile away from boobs and alcohol. Where do you think they are?" Ariel said.
Comprehension finally dawning on Lily's face, she grabbed her sweater and slipped it on. "Let's go."
Locking their hotel door behind them, the three girls walked across the street to the strip joint to collect the guys. Upon entering, the aroma of cigarette smoke, beer, and musk greeted their nostrils. There were several half naked chicks dancing on the bar and a few more on the stage.
"Do you see them?" Autumn asked peering through the cloud of smoke and people.
"Over there at the end of the bar," Ariel said pointing.
The three girls walked over to where the guys were sitting and tapped them on the shoulder. When the guys turned around they wished they hadn't. The expression on the girls faces were deadly enough to kill a five hundred pound, six foot tall man.
"Uh we got lost," Sirius said weakly.
"Save it Sirius," Autumn said.
"Yea," Ariel agreed. "Watching half naked woman dance around is just wrong."
"We're sorry," Remus apologized. "We can't help it that we're shallow; we're guys with ragging hormones."
"Come on, lets go," Ariel said.
Once back at the hotel, Ariel and Autumn went back inside their room, and Sirius and Remus went back in theirs, while Lily and James remained outside.
"I can't believe you," Lily said.
"Jeez Lily," James said. "It's just a strip bar. It's not like we were doing anything illegal."
"But it's just shallow. Watching half naked chicks prance around, begging for cash...ugh," Lily replied.
"Well, they gotta make a living somehow," James said.
"Guys are so impossible!" Lily exclaimed. "And just when I was starting to think that you were actually decent."
Lily turned around, went into her hotel room, and slammed the door behind her, not even giving James a chance to reply.
The next morning everyone slept pretty late, because most of their plans were for night time. In a few hours, they would be hitting the strip in Las Vegas.
The entire car ride was very awkward, especially between Lily and James. Even Sirius was more quiet than usual.
After three hours they finally arrived in Vegas. Elaborate themes decorated all the hotels. There were Egyptian hotels, fairytale hotels, even a hotel meant to look like Venice.
The sights of the hotels was enough to put them all in a better mood, and they decided to stop for brunch. They chose the Hard Rock Cafe, and went inside.
"This is so cool!" Sirius exclaimed. The room they had walked into was dimly lit, but flashing red, blue, and green lights helped them to see better. On the walls were signed pictures and paraphonilia of famous rock stars.
"Look at this, it's the Beetles," Autumn said, pointing to a funny looking suit. Inside the glass case was a signed concert ticket beside a photograph of the band.
"Here's the Grateful Dead," Remus said.
They went through all of the displays and entered the gift shop. James put on a cow print cowboy hat and gave a sexy grin. "What do you think?"
Lily almost laughed, but remembered that she was supposed to be mad at James. Sirius, on the other hand, broke into hysterics and was soon joined by Ariel, Autumn, and Remus. Lily, unable to ignore the humor in the situation, joined the others. She put on a red hat with a huge brim and a fluffy feather on top. This made everyone laugh harder.
Ariel soon came across a rack of costumes. She motioned for the other five to come look. "Let's each try on a costume," she said.
James chose Elvis, Sirius was a duck, Autumn dressed as Marilyn Monroe, Lily as an elf, Ariel as a mermaid, and Remus chose a vampire. As each person emerged from the dressing room, a new round of laughter was begun. Out of the corner of his eye, Remus saw a sign that said 'Pictures Taken Here.' He pointed this out to his friends and, seizing the opportunity, they all walked (Sirius waddled) over to the sign. A small man stood with a Polaroid watching them make their way towards him.
"How much for six pictures?" Autumn asked politely.
"That'll be $48," the man said.
"$48!" Autumn exclaimed.
"That's right, mam, $48 dollars, Now would you like your picture taken or not?" the man replied, getting annoyed quickly.
"We'll take one, please," James said, handing him $8.
"Please step in front of the blue screen and smile at the camera. On the count of three I will take your picture and it will be ready momentarily," the photographer said, sounding rehearsed.
The six squeezed into the specified area and smiled. They changed out of their costumes while the picture developed.
"Look how cute we are!" Lily said, holding the picture so everyone could see.
"We all look very cute, but could we hurry this up, we did come here to eat," Sirius said.
James bought the cowboy hat and they finally went into the restaurant. Once they had each finished their delicious meals, they headed out to try and find their hotel.

That's a pretty darn good hint considering how much we keep saying that the next couple chapters are gonna be HUGE. We really wanna update soon, but we're each going away for a little bit this summer, so updating is going to be a bit of a problem. Next chapter will probably be posted in mid July. Sorry guys!
