I KNOW I SHOULD BE WORKING ON TRUE LOVE IS IN THE AIR! But the chapter is so long and this story will be over in a couple of chapters anyway, so I'm going to write this one first.
Enjoy!

Love is not always smart
Chp5: what have we done?
The music was loud, the lights were blinding and everything was in full swing at the Passion flash bar. Ivy had to shield her eye's just to see everything.
The music was loud, the lights were blinding and everything was in full swing at the bar. Ivy had to shield her eye's just to see everything." Remember that you've got a job to do." Murdoc hissed in her ear.
She pushed him away " Pipe down! You'll get your score when she's done working."
True, the redhead known as Jasmine was at the mike giving a killer performance and earning lots of whistles from several drunks. Ivy showed her pass to a guard and entered the girl's dressing room.
" IVY! Good to see ya!" A blond said giving her a hug.
" Hey Jessie...You know how I feel about hugging."
"Sorry."
" I'm back!" Jasmine said tossing her mid-back red hair behind her head and her bark colored eye's shining with her see through outfit.
" Hi Jasmine." Ivy said, " Remember how you said you wanted a crack at the Gorillaz Bass player?"
" So it's true! You are living with the band!"
" Yes Muffy, it's true." Ivy said " Well, Jasmine. You can have your fun with him. Meet him behind the bar."
" YES! THANKS IVY!" And Jasmine went through her wardrobe to find the skimpiest thing she could find.
Ivy shook her head and exited the dressing room. She found Murdoc and told him to meet Jasmine behind the bar. He rushed out there before she could say anything else.
Ivy tried to find 2D but fan girls swamped him. She sighed and went to the bar.
" One Dackery please."
"Nice to see you again Ivy."
Ivy turned her head toward the voice and nearly jumped out of her seat, " Zack! What are you doing here?"
" I work here." He said handing her a Dackery," What brings you here?"
" I'm here with some friends." She said taking a sip of her Lime flavored drink.
" Hmm," Zack said, "I don't seem to remember you having any friends."
" Sorry about that.." 2D finally found her after shaking of the last fan-girl.
" I stand corrected." Zack said, cleaning a glass.
" Ivy...who's this?"
" My ex-boyfriend." Ivy grouched
That's when Muffy, a tall chestnut-skinned girl went up to the mike and said " I think we all enjoyed Jasmine's little number. Now it is officially open mike. Who wants to come up?"
Lot's of people raised their hands, and so did Ivy. She got picked.
" I'm about to show you how well I've succeeded."
She got to the mike and put in her favorite CD.
2D listened to the tone and recognized it immediately. It was the track they were just making into a video.
" Summer don't know me no more
Eager man
That's all
Summer don't know me
He just left me low
In my sea."
2D's mouth hung open for a few seconds. She had only heard the song once and yet she sung it perfectly. Her voice seemed to float along the music. Soon he lost himself in just listening to her.
" Cause I do know lord
From you that
Just died
Yeah."
" Saw that day
Lost my mind
Lord I'll find
Maybe in time
You'll want
To be mine."
" She has done well." Zack said polishing a glass.
" Like you care." 2D said
Zack shrugged," Just be careful. All it takes is a little bit of licker." and he left.
"Don't stop the buck
When it comes it's the dawn
You'll see
Money won't get there
Ten years passed tonight
You'll flee"
A little bit of Licker? What was he talking about? The questions were soon forgotten as the song continued.
"If you do that
I'll be some
To find you
Saw that day
Lost my mind
Lord I'll find
Maybe in time
You'll want
To be mine"
As the lyrics momentarily stopped and Ivy and 2D locked eyes. It's as if a red string was slowly binding them together in a bond of unbreakable lust, passion, and undeniable sense of want.
"Saw that day
Lost my mind
Lord I'll find
Maybe in time
You'll want
To be mine."
As she sang she never left his gaze. She wandered, before he got his eyes fractured were his eyes blue? Green? Hazul? One thing was for sure. She loved his black eyes. She felt like she was looking into the beautiful night sky.
" Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine.
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine."
The music ended, and Ivy walked down to the restroom to cool off. Those spotlights can be pretty bad. As she splashed water in her face when a big blond came in decked out in pink. Pink strapless dress with heart sequins and pink cat's eye sunglasses with pink lenses and pink high-heeled sandals to be exact.
" You've got so much pink it's blinding me." Ivy said with a laugh.
" You're one to talk Zebra, and what's with the hair?"
Ivy looked at herself. She liked her outfit! She had a striped black and scarlet tank top with a black skirt, Black knee-high boots and plain black, elbow-length cut gloves. She fingered her hair as it was in a black cat ear headband.
" Look, I like stripes. And this color is natural so deal with it."
" Oh, meow." Blondie said with a fake claw.
" You have no idea."
" My name's Valerie, you are?" The blond asked putting on her makeup.
" Ivy, goodbye." She said heading out the door.
" Drink safely!" She called
What? That was weird.
She found 2D at the bar once again trying to shake of the fan girls. Ivy shook her head and ordered another Dackery.
" Are you sure about that?" 2D asked, " Those are strong."
" Trust me I need it,"
You can guess what happened. Drink after drink...
Ivy woke with an ear splitting headache. Where was she and why did she feel...warm? Hot, actually. She tried to assume where she was...a BED! With a pair of strong arms wrapped around her!
She pushed away from whoever had her arms around her and fell out of a double bed.
" What the fuck, where am I?" She asked and noticed the dark room with only one light and a single bed. And when the other person rose, she nearly fainted.
"2D...what are you...wha...what happened?" She stammered
2D turned and stared at Ivy on the floor covered in a blanket. Realization came over him.
" Oh my god, Ivy I swear... I didn't...I.."
A screeching laughter filled the room and Valerie herself popped in as 2D scrambled to cover himself.
" WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Ivy screamed
" I'm here to pick you up." Valerie said laughing her ear splitting laugh. " After all, Zack could use another monster at his disposal."
" You're dating Zack? You really have bad taste." Ivy said shaking her head, " Don't you know he's a..."
" Master of black magic?" Valerie interrupted," Yeah I know. And..." She pulled of the wig raveling her pink hair and snapped her fingers as a black smoke filled the room, " So am I."
The smoke cleared and Ivy was gone.
This is a darker part of the story, but on the good side: I just saw Kim possible so the drama and well, I hate to spoil the ending, KIM AND RON KISSED!
Since I'm in a good mood I'm offering a couple of things. When you review I will read any story you want and you can either
1. Ask for a sneak peek of the next chapter of any story.
2. Ask for a sneak peek of any story to be
3. I can tell the next 3 chapters of any story and what will happen (summery)
Don't have to do this, but you can if you want.
toodles!
