Chapter Ten

Fluff, Truth, Details and Injured

Both teams left the park after packing up, except Carmen and Rei.

"Now… Where were we?" Carmen asked. There was a sudden purr in her throat.

"Well, Max told you to hurry up, and that you can go all sexy later." Rei reminded her.

"Oh... Yes... That's right.." she said softly.

The two were hidden amongst some trees in the park. Carmen's back was against one of the trees that they were standing behind, hidden from un-wanted eyes. Carmen let out a small whimper as Rei pressed his body against hers, then placing a kiss on her lips. Having the temptation to have a French kiss, she turned this into one. The two love birds, one applying pressure on the other's body, were French kissing.

They both stayed later than expected, but went back to their teams. They snuck into their rooms while their team mates were asleep. Carmen thought about what had happened as she lay on her side in bed. A French kiss… A glorious French kiss., she thought before dozing off.

The next day seemed long and boring. Rain was pelting the windows. Nobody dared going out into this weather.

"So, Carmen, when did you get back last night?" Sandra asked as she began doing Alex's hair.

"Oh, I don't know... 11:30, maybe?" Carmen answered. Everyone looked at her.

"11:30! God, Carmen! The performance ended at nine o'clock!" Max said.

"Five after nine." she corrected.

"Five after nine. OH MY GOD! I WAS OFF BY FIVE FUCKING MINUTES! I'M A DIM-WITTED DUDE!" Max cried sarcastically.

"No you're not. But Tyson, now he's dim-witted!" Alex said.

"Fuck, he's a bastard.." said Carmen.

"Hear, hear!" Alex agreed. While Sandra did Alex's hair, Carmen did Sandra's hair.

"Laugh out loud, now that's something new! Carmen's doing Sandra's hair, while Sandra's doing Alex's hair! Ha! That's a new one!" Aaron laughed.

"Aaron's an idiot, laugh my ass off. How sad! L-O-L.." Carmen said. There wasn't any tone in her voice. Aaron stopped laughing.

"Hear, hear!" Alex laughed. The others started to laugh, except Aaron.

"She got you there, Aaron!" Nick laughed. The boys were playing video games together, as the girls were doing each other's hair.

"Er... Yeah, she... Did..." Aaron stuttered.

"HA! And you said you were the King of Insults! Well, Carmen's the Queen of Insults! She took your place!" Alex said. Aaron simply muttered a rather long string of curses.

"Hell, I'm the Queen of Trash-talking!" Carmen smiled.

"That you are!" Max agreed.

"But we're the Kings of Video-Gaming!" said Nick. Carmen shot him a glare.

"Excuse me? I'd like to see you boys try and beat Halo 2 about three or four times in a single week, beat Project Gothem in about two or three days, AND beat Final Fantasy Ten in a day… Three times in a row." she said.

"In a day?" the boys asked.

"In a day." she answered. All of their mouths fell open, even Sandra's and Alex's.

"Shit! I can't even beat Project Gothem!" Aaron said.

"Shove over!" Carmen said, getting up and walking toward them. The boys shoved over. Carmen closed down the PS2, then turned on the Xbox and put in Project Gothem. She grabbed a controller, and went onto her saved file. She had restarted another game on her file.

"It's easy! That is… Once you get the hang of it.." she said, starting the first game.

"Shit, I hate this one... Oh well, it'll be over soon enough.." she muttered. Aaron and the others stared in amazement as Carmen made her way through each level with ease.

"Shitty..." Nick said.

"Fucked up..." Max murmured.

"Double dog shit..." Aaron muttered. Each of them said these on different levels.

"Rei, how long did you stay out for?" Hilary asked.

"I'm not sure, probably until 11:30.." he answered.

"And did Carmen go all sexy like Max said she could?" Max asked.

"Maybe, maybe not.." Rei said.

"She did, didn't she?" Tyson asked. Rei gave shifty eyes.

"Slightly..." he answered quietly. All the boys clapped, except Kenny and Kai.

"What did you do! What did you do? Did you go at it like horny rabbits! ()" Tyson asked. Rei shot him a freaked out stare.

"No! And even if we did, you aren't supposed to know!" Rei cried.

"He's got a point, there." Kai said.

"Then what did you do! The suspense is killing us!" Max asked.

"My lips are sealed." Ray said.

---Ray's P.O.V. (just for a second)---

When I said that, I must've accidentally given them some sort of clue without realizing it! Considering the others aren't stupid idiots. I mean, come on! I'm not gay, I like girls! I'm glad Carmen's not a lesbian, cause she's hot and she's got a nice ass! Err…. Did I just say that?

---Back to normal---

"You made out! You two had a make out session! Good show, Rei!" Max said suddenly. Rei gave him a stare, then said, "Something... Along those… Lines..."

"Okay… You made out while shoving your tongues down each other's throats?" Tyson asked.

"Pretty much...French kiss and making out..." said Rei. Hilary burst into the room with a bit of a worried look.

"Rei! Alex is on the phone, she said that Carmen's hurt!" she cried. Rei jumped to his feet.

"WHAT!" he cried.

"Here! She'll explain!" Hilary said, thrusting the phone into his hands. Rei hastily answered.

"Hello! Alex!" he asked.

"Rei! My God, I called as soon as I could! Knowing you and Carmen, of course--"

"YES! Just get to what happened!" Rei interrupted.

"Oh, right, sorry! We went out for a bit, and we stumbled upon some big show-off hot shots, and one of them was armed with a skateboard! They chucked it at Carmen's rib cage, and now I have a feeling that one of her ribs is broken." Alex said.

"OH SHIT!" Rei yelled. Alex squirmed uncomfortably.

"Yes, well, she's at the hospital. She's getting her rib cage ex-rayed for any injuries. Carmen wouldn't move when the ambulance got there. Stubborn when it comes to the hospital, hates it… But anyway, I tho-- Rei? Hello? Rei?" Alex said. Rei had dropped the phone, grabbed his shoes, and ran for the door. Hilary picked up the phone.

"Sorry Alex, he's on his way." she said.

"Oh, alright, okay. No no, that's okay! I'm used to it, my cousins, long story. I'll talk to you later, I suppose. Bye." the redhead replied.

"Bye." Hilary said before they both hung up. She looked at the others.

"Well, Carmen's in the hospital… Rei's headed there." she said, looking around at all of them.

"And?" Tyson asked.

"And I'm sure Rei would like to know that we care!" Hilary said.

"I'm not going! Carmen hates me, and I hate her! Perfect with me!" he said at once. Hilary scowled.

"You're going, and that's final! Now, everyone get your shoes!" she said.

A/N: Okay the () stands for something that I thought was funny from a fan fiction that I read, by the author, Blackie and Goldie. I was reading one of her fan fictions, and I came across something that went kind of like that. So, I changed it just a bit, and used it. I really hope she doesn't mind!
