THE PARTY: DOWN BY THE BEACH

A/N: Ok, guys, hopefully this will be a nice, long chapter. You wouldn't fucking believe it, but it's my other grandma's birthday today. So this is being written whilst my other relies go off and get hammered or something ( it is only 11:30 am, but shut up). OK, enjoy!

Everyone was a little bored, so they decided to go down to the beach. It was only 10 pm, so why not? Rick had already fallen asleep though (it was 9, yes, 9 hours past his bed time).

As they exited the house (with the portable stereo and an esky filled with delicious and "nutritious" alcohol), they found Mary having a tea party whilst watching Scott Tennemman (no fuckin' idea how you spell it) be sacrificed to Cart-man's lord, Mel Gibson ( yes, he's an insane Australian like me).

Mary finished her tea quickly, thanked the Kappa for giving her the Jade Monkey and ran to join her friends. If everyone else weren't so completely hammered (just like the relies) they would've been a little weirded out…

They walked along quietly, so quietly you wouldn't have actually seen them in broad daylight (damn, how do you do that?). They didn't want to alert the parents to the party or the alcohol consumption that had taken place there.

As soon as they got to the beach, they put the music on such a high setting, the Leaning Tower of Piza very nearly became the Crumpled Tower of Bread Crumbs, and began yelling, screaming, dancing, and playing volleyball with Wilson's head (yes, we do have movie theatres and TV over here, dumbass).

Karen was walking over to Jack. He saw her coming over. He was NOT gonna freeze up like last time, or do ANYTHING that could possibly embarrass him. "Wanna take a walk?" she said in a soft, sexy voice (not to me, mind, I'm not a Yuri girl. Not that there's anything wrong with that). "OK" Jack squeaked in a voice so high-pitched, it could have been mistaken for a dog whistle.

A/N: Sorry for putting an A/N right in the middle of the story, but HOLY FUCK! I feel like I'm gonna vomit cos my Aunt made me eat a huge slice of rich cake and I hadn't had any breakfast… dear lord, just put me out of my misery right now… I'm sure if you people were here you'd be LYFAO (Laughing Your Fucking Arse Off) at how they're all talking about my cousin's most embarrassing baby moments. But the real reason you'd be laughing is because they're drunk off their arses (or at least they seem to be).

My uncles and dad are talking in loud rumbly voices about some shit, my aunts are pretty much their normal selves (a little too nice…) my grandma's laughing at nothing, my mum's hurrying around trying to find something to panic about (and she's a social worker!) and I can just tell that if my brother was offered death or being there right now, he'd gladly choose the fiery pits (he's done a lot of wrong in his life) and me?... well, I escaped them all, to come and write this shit. Now, I'll stop this eerily large A/N and get back to the story!

They walked along the beach in silence for a while. Karen had her arm around his waist, beer bottle in hand, looking up at Jack expectantly. "Er, um, ah, it… it's nice weather?" he managed to stutter. Karen looked a bit put out by this.

"Jack, why are you so un-open with me?" she asked, looking a little down-cast. He was surprised at this question. She seemed to be a different person when she was around him only.

For some reason, Jack got really annoyed at this. As if she didn't know! "Like you don't know! You know very well why I'm shy around you! Just like every other guy around here, I have eyes, so I can see your beautiful! No need to rub it in my face!" he finished.

Karen just stopped dead in her tracks. "…what did you just call me?" "I called you beautiful!". "…what?" said Karen looking absolutely shocked. "Are you deaf! I'll speak a little louder then! I CALLED YOU BEUTIFU…" Jack was cut off by Karen's mouth.

It was a very long kiss, it lasted a long time. No one could see them though, as they were now in complete darkness, with the exception of the moon. When they finally parted, Karen spoke.

"I've been called pretty before. Loads of times. I've been called sexy, cute, hot, you name it, I've been called it… but that was the first time I've been called beautiful… well, the second. There was this guy, when I was… never mind that…. Hey, let's dance!".

Jack wasn't expecting that. To be perfectly honest, he wasn't in the mood for more tiring sexy dancing. But she grabbed his hand, and started… twirling? Yes, this was a very different dance to what he'd expected. It was beautiful. She twirled and twirled, the moonlight illuminating her skin, her hair… and her eyes. They shone with mystery, they shone with beauty. But most of all, they shone with… sadness?

Karen came back to him, and they started to twirl. Jack wanted to stay there forever. Just twirling and twirling… twirling in the moonlight with Karen. But after a while, Jack noticed something. The sadness in Karen's eyes were gone, and was replaced with a naughty look.

"Hey, I love this song!" she said, as that song "I want You Bad" (well, I had to have some cue for this) came on. She pushed Jack to the ground. At first he thought she was going to start kicking him, but then he felt her get on top of him, he felt her lips against his…

A/N: Bet you didn't see that comin'! It don't necessarily mean that they're together forever, I'll tell you that much…

TnHkA UoSy:

PacificTwist: Yup, Karen kicks arse! I'm gonna try an update even faster…

Tikzch: Well, Mary likes herbal (that is pronounced Herbal not Erbal) tea, what else can I say?... OOOOOOOOOOWWWEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH! I am the ghost of fanfic past!... wait a min, where do you live?

Farmergrl0319: That's fine. They are a pretty good (but oddly matched) couple, aren't they?Nah, nah nah nah nah! I'm on summer holidays!... but I'm going back to school in 2 and a ½ weeks… damn…

Thanks, and enjoy!
