Author's Note: This chapter is a lil funny, but not to much. Orlha and Glenn r drunk and they do the Electric Slide (hence the chapter's title). I picked this dance cause I needed something people know that is done at parties, that's not a waltz. Orlha is really stupid in this chapter, because she is so drunk, Glenn ain't so bad. Serge and Kid have some romance in this chapter, but there will be A LOT in the next few. It will start out confusing becuase Kid is just telling a story, about some guy at a bar in a past experience. This chapter has a good amount of all four of them, no Cloud, he'll be coming back eventually.

I did move my rating up to PG-13 for the mention of alcohol... just in case anyone was wondering y i changed it...

Chapter 11 Electric

Soon Kid's story was drawing to an end as she was just finishing the last of her meal. Serge had already finished his and he was just tuning into hear what Kid was saying to him.

"So I said to this guy, 'Ya thought you could get me because of the way I look?! What is it about me?! Do I look like a little girl who can easily be chained in?! Do I look like I'm easy?! Does it look like I have no class, No BACKBONE?! Well What!'" Kid uttered.

Kid was so absorbed into her own story that her mouth was moving a mile a minute. "So now the guy is stuttering right," Serge nodded, "and he's like, 'well, well, I don't know what your like... bla, blah, blah, I just thought that... that...' and then I'm like, 'I'm acutely so bathetic that I will take orders from you! This is what were going to do! Your gonna sit there' I even pointed out a chair to this guy. Then I'm like, 'Your not gonna move from there at all, I'm gonna walk out that door, and come back in through it. I'll be gone about four hours and ya better still be here when I come back or I'll hunt ya down! Just so I can personally kick yer sorry arse to the moons!' So he sat down I left, and then came back and GUESS WHAT! The sap was still there in the same chair. I even asked the bartender, the guy had not left that chair. He believed that I would really hunt him down! Proved to him who has a backbone, ha!" Kid cackled.

"Wow, you must have pulled your dagger out on him, sounds like he was really threatened." Serge finally stated not sure if he really believed what he had heard of Kid's story.

"Well yeah, but the guy was sucha jerk ta me. I was still very young at the time and besides he deserved it! Well anyway, I shouldn't have to justify myself for it." Kid responded as she sat back against her chair. With her lips finally sealed.

She looked around the big ball room curiously, like she had just remembered where she was. She twiddled her hair a bit playfully. Serge gazed at her even though at the moment she was not being very graceful, he still but could not help to fall in love with her beauty. Her head was turned to the side and her eyes were wandering all around as she continued to fiddle with her hair. It reminded Serge of a board little child.

It was quiet and suddenly a new song began to play and now that Kid was no longer talking the music had become very apparent to the two of them. She turned her head to look at Serge. He looked down immediately, fighting hard to not let his face flush at all. Kid stopped fiddling with her hair and smiled at him as he glanced up at her.

"Serge want to dance?" Kid asked. Serge looked all the way up at her.
"Well... uh, I have not danced in a long time." He had not danced since he went out with Leena many years ago and never had he danced hand in hand with Kid.

"Aw come on, if it was in ya once it will come back once your on the floor." Kid replied as she stood up from her chair.

"I don't know..." Serge answered.
"Well then I will make you dance...!" Kid chimed as she took Serge's hand and pulled him off his chair onto his feet. Then she guided his hand onto the dance floor through the crowd. They came to a halt when they arrived into the center of the floor.

Kid turned towards Serge and took both his hands into hers. She had her head facing towards the ground as she slowly began to lead him. Serge's eyes were also looking down at his own feet to try and get with the flow, but he couldn't help to keep looking back up at her. Kid didn't even noticed because Serge was taller and her eyes kept to the floor as she tried to show him the steps. Finally Serge started to get the motions on his own. Kid looked up at him and smiled.

"See I knew you'd get it eventually." Kid said to him. Serge only nodded with an uneasy look in his eyes. Suddenly Kid was hurled into Serge's arms so fast that they both lost their balance. Serge fell over with Kid on top of him. Serge glanced at the girl sprawled over his body.
"You all right, Kid?" He questioned. Kid's head raised up with a twitched eyebrow to show her annoyance.

"Fine." She mumbled then both Serge and Kid looked up from the ground to see who had caused them to fall. "And as for.....!!" Kid began, but she stopped immediately. Serge couldn't see because of Kid.

"Who is it?" He asked Kid. She slapped a hand to her forehead and then smirked as if she was about to burst up laughing.

"It's Orlha and Glenn, mate." She answered as she got onto her feet. She helped Serge up and he to began to throw his head back and laugh when he spotted Orlha and Glenn.

Both of them were dancing around, obviously drunk. Orlha seem to be sliding all over the floor and Glenn was yelling out things that made no sense as he pursued Orlha. The other couples, mostly old people, had formed a circle around the ridiculous duo as the song came to an end they began laughing.

Serge and Kid stood side by side staring at Orlha and Glenn as the two took their bows among the clapping.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Glenn shouted between bows. Serge and Kid both had flushed faces embarrassed by their foolish roommates. Serge glanced over at Kid.

"I think he means thank you." Kid mumbled.
"These people don't actually believe that Orlha and Glenn are good dancers when their drunk, do they?" Serge questioned her between sealed teeth. Kid twitched her eyes at the thought.

"I guess so, good thing their not sober." Kid spoke under her breath. Suddenly the music began to play again, this time it was an all to familiar beat. Orlha looked at Glenn.

"I know this song!!!" She yelled as she tugged at his shirt, "I know this song! Guess what I know this song!!!!" Orlha repeated again and again as Glenn finally looked at her with hazed eyes. He gave her a puzzled look.

"Yeah hello Kid, me too lets dance." He responded to Orlha. Orlha just laughed at him. Glenn laughed too not sure why he was laughing. Finally Orlha said still laughing,

"I'm not Kid, silly."
"Ya both have blond hair." Glenn stated flatly.
"Just watch!" Orlha yelled.
Glenn nodded. He stood back and watched Orlha for a moment with arms folded. He was not sure of her as she stood in the center of the crowd. The other couples also began to watch with him as Orlha began the Electric Slide.

Finally Glenn nodded. "Oh I can do that!" He yelled as he shoved Orlha sending her to into a few people and on the ground, "Move and watch." He answered as if he was some pro. Glenn began to move as Orlha had done. Orlha got up laughing and joined him again.
Kid started to laugh up a storm.

"This is unbelievable I gotta join in on this!" Kid yelled as she took Serge's hand again and began to dance the steps along with Orlha and Glenn. Serge looked around at the crowd watching as Kid began to yell for him to try it. He shrugged his shoulders and did his best to join in and with him he was surprised to see the crowd surrounding them start the dance. Now Orlha, Glenn, Kid and Serge were leading all the older people into the electric slide.

After dancing to a few popular dances other than the electric slide all four of them were more than ready for a break. It was during a fast waltz when Orlha's back came crashing into Kid's for the second time, this time not knocking anyone over. Orlha's head went back right beside Kid's shoulder as the song was nearing it's end.

"Hi guys!" Orlha laughed as Glenn tipped her, then her head went back up and she went into Glenn's arms. The song ended slowly. As Glenn and Orlha faced Serge and Kid.

Glenn now was feeling more sober, must have been all the sweat he had worked up from the dancing to bring back his senses. He looked at Serge and Kid with Orlha still in his arms. His face serious, showing signs of a headache as Orlha just laughed her head off, clearly still drunk.

"I think were going to go take a breather." he said to Serge and Kid.
"Good idea Glenn, you look beat up." Kid replied.
"Yeah, you have been dancing longer than Kid and I have been." Serge added.

"Wait... no." Orlha begged as her face went so close to his their noses nearly touched. Her laughing ceased, her eyes shining. Glenn looked at her.

"Yes..." He nodded. Orlha put a finger up.
"No no," She snapped to him. Glenn nodded and he laughed at her for a second.

"Yes, yes." He answered with another nod as she was still up into his face. Orlha laughed a bit when he did and put her finger to his bottom lip.

"No..!" She laughed again and then she kissed him. Then pulled back and smiled with eyes looking up.

"Your drunk..." Glenn responded to her. Orlha only shook her head.
"Is she gonna be okay?" Kid questioned as she looked at Glenn. Orlha turned and faced Kid. Orlha put her hands on Kid's face and pinched her cheeks.

"Oh, Aren't you a cute one?!" Orlha exclaimed as if Kid was a puppy. Kid only gave Orlha a very crossed look.

"Were leaving." Glenn stated as he began to march away with Orlha still in his arms. Orlha began to talk to Kid as she tried to get away from Glenn's grip.

"You and I gotta do some talkin bout a lil somethin, if ya know what I'm sayin." Orlha gibbered as she was being dragged off.

"Shh, Orlha!" Kid stammered with a finger to her lips. Orlha giggled at that.

"I knew it, you are being a naughty girl tonight, aren't you?" Orlha questioned. Kid put a hand to her forehead.

"Cut it out! Orlha!" Kid yelled as Orlha got loose from Glenn and ran back over to Kid.

"I'm right, I'm right! HEY!!" Orlha yelled as Glenn finally grabbed the drunk blond and threw her over his shoulder and once again take her away through the crowd.

Serge and Kid's last view of Orlha was comical. She had her head still facing their direction as she mouthed something and made hand motions with her fingers to Kid. As soon as Orlha and Glenn were out of sight Kid sighed and shook her head.

"My gawd I've had enough of Orlha fer one night already." Kid said to break her and Serge's awkward silence. Finally the song was over. Serge gave Kid a puzzled look.

"What was Orlha talking about?" Serge asked Kid. Kid rolled her eyes and then turned to look at him.

"It was nothing, don't even worry about it." Kid answered. Serge raised an eyebrow.
"It was to something. Now spill it!" Serge demanded.

Suddenly the lights dimmed once again. The couples around them began to quiet down their constant chatting and laughing. A soft very familiar melody began to play. Serge had heard the music before, but he was not sure where or how. It was so quiet now and Kid looked at him sympathetically. He knew she didn't want to respond to his question.

Coming next... Enter Kid's mind when Serge take a bold step forward, Kid finds herself comparing the two men in her life. Orlha and Glenn r not in it, neither in Cloud again, but they will all be soon, and a few others.
