Syl groaned. Ow. Ow. Ow. She felt like she had a concussion. Ow. What ow had ow happened ow last ow night ow? She sat up slowly - why was the world spinning? - and brushed her hair out of her eyes. And her eyes landed on Jondy... "Oh dear god."
Jondy woke to the sound of Syl groaning. She opened her eyes slowly and saw Syl hovering above her. She frowned. She hadn't... Oh god... and then when Zack walked in, carrying two cups of coffee, Jondy screamed.
Syl flopped back on the bed, her hands over her eyes. "Why did anyone ever invent light?" she moaned. "And why, Zack, were you performing the Rubber Ducky Song?"
Zack blushed, 'Damn it.' he muttered, 'I was hoping you wouldn't remember that!' Jondy pulled a pillow over her head, 'WHY, oh god why, were' you performing a song while we were... you know...'
Syl opened her eyes. "We were what?"
Zack frowned, 'As far as I knew, you two were the only ones going weird things...' Jondy gasped, 'that just makes it worse!' she wailed
"And Krit was totally enjoying watching us, too," Syl said darkly
Jondy sat up so quickly, that she fell off the bed, 'Whoa! Wait, what exactly were we doing!'
"We were downstairs and we were just doing weird things together," Syl said. "Why? Don't you remember?"
Jondy groaned from her new position on the floor, 'Wait, and you're okay with this?' she asked, looking from Zack to Syl.
"We were drunk; other than the mocking, it's excusable," Syl shrugged
Jondy flopped backwards onto the floor, banging her head on the table leg on the way down. 'Ow.' she complained, 'Oh godddddddddddddddd.' she wailed
Syl rolled onto her side. "Jon, it's okay. What I remember; I'm okay with that. We. were. plastered," Syl said, rubbing her aching head.
Jondy sat up straight, 'But in the car... when you said...' she frowned, 'I thought you were kidding.'
"About what?" Syl looked confused
'The whole... girl girl thing...' Jondy said, starting to confuse herself. 'Wait, what were we doing last night?'
Syl exchanged a wide eyed look with Zack. "Wow... maybe I remembered wrong... we didn't... did we?"
ZAck shrugged, 'God knows what you two got up to once me and Krit left.' Jondy groaned again, 'You TWO as well!"
"Krit..." Syl murmured. "Stupid ass was all over me last night... I'll kill his advantage-taking ass... does he have no soul... and i don't remember anything after Krit sang us the Spice Girls song... so did we?"
Jondy nodded ,'Yeah, did we?' she asked Zack.
"Screw each other senseless?" Syl replied, rubbing a sore spot on the back of her head. "Ow."
Zack frowned, 'Well, if you did, I wasn't here for it.'
Syl relaxed. "So no one heard anything?" she asked
Zack frowned, 'You mean, other than five renditions of Rubber Ducky, and 7 Spice Girls songs, no...'
"Good," Syl said, relaxing. "We didn't do anything, Jondy. Though I'm annoyed I missed the obvious fun that came with you singing, Zack. And Jondy, you've got a huge bruise on your face."
Jondy sighed in relief, 'Thank God...' she peered at Syl's face. So have you.'
"Huh. How did we get bruises?" Syl turned to Zack
Zack winced, 'Ummm, well, you see...' he edged towards the door, 'You might ah, wanna ask Brin about that.' And with that, he ran out the door.
"I'll kill Krit, you kill Brin?" Syl offered.
Jondy nodded, 'Sure... although, I have a pretty clear memory of Krit being very... well controlled.'
"You don't know where his hands were" Syl said darkly. "Where can I find a gun?"
Jondy's eyes widened, 'Ahhhh, how bout we just, ahh... kick his ass?'
"Because I wanna scare him. And besides, he can take me," Syl shrugged.
Jondy smiled, 'Kay...' she frowned, 'I am I making this up, or did I drink a whole bottle of Vodka?'
"That is a possibility... did I spill about your Mexico thing?" Syl asked, confused.
Jondy frowned. 'Possibly. I DO remember a lot of laughing... you and Krit used whipped cream?' she asked in amazement.
Syl blushed. "Did I over share again?"
Jondy nodded, 'I think so... although I have a strange feeling, that I did as well...'
"Other than the Mexico thing - which was my fault, I think you mentioned cherries," Syl said
Jondy scrunched her nose up, 'Ewwwww I hate cherries!'
"Huh... and I kept suggesting people use my Polaroid camera during sex," Syl winced
Jondy started cracking up, 'OMG! The camera... Max used it while Zack and Krit were giving us piggy back rides... and singing Rubber Ducky!'
Syl laughed. "I am so going to go and find some aspirin. And find Max and those photos."
Jondy winced as she sat up. 'Owie. Light... and gravity. What idiots invented those?'
"Some one who obviously hasn't experienced the joys of alcohol," Syl said, sipping some of the coffee that Zack had brought up.
Jondy slowly stood up and shook her head slightly, 'OK. I think I can make it to the kitchen bench.'
"That's a start. Having an aim helps. My aim is to beat Krit's ass. If you have an aim, gravity is no longer an issue," Syl offered
Jondy got half way to the counter and slid down the wall. She turned and made a face at Syl, 'Oh believe me, gravity is still an issue.'
Syl offered Jondy a hand. "Stand up and have some coffee; so, obviously you and Zack... didn't last night. Cause I remember Krit and Zack arguing about Krit taking advantage of me."
Jondy winced as she was suddenly vertical again. 'Ohhhhhh the pain.' she winged. 'Sylly, make it go away...' she said, leaning her head on Syl's shoulder.
Syl played with a lock of hair. "I know. And if we're lucky, the sunlight will go away. As will gravity. Ugh, why didn't Zack bring us up some aspirin?"
Jondy frowned, and looked in the a cabinet, 'He did... or someone did.' she said, passing the bottle to Syl. She paused, and then said, 'How will gravity go away?'
"Well," Syl looked thoughtful. "We could drink more and then everything would seem better I suppose." Syl threw a handful of aspirin in her mouth and drank the rest of her coffee and winced at the pounding in her mind. "Ow. Second thoughts, I'm not going to drink anything but coffee and water for the rest of my life."
Jondy nodded, 'And Diet Coke... always diet coke...'
Syl wrinkled her nose. "Coke? Diet coke... Every time someone mentions Coke I think of the time Krit got my plastered on coke and bourbon and we ended up..." Syl froze. "Gotta go, need food."
Jondy grinned, 'Wait for me!' she said walking with a slight wobble, out the door, behind Syl.
Syl waited for Jondy to catch up. "I hope these people have loads of food. I'm starving," she complained.
Jondy made a face, 'How can you even THINK about food, after last night!'
"Easy. My stomach is empty. Very empty; I remember the puking," Syl made a face. "And I enjoy eating."
Jondy shuddered, 'Hey, I enjoy eating as much as the next person...' she paused, 'Except maybe anorexics... cause they don't enjoy eating right?'
"No. They like, have food and eat it and then puke it up and stuff," Syl nodded. "I don't think being an anorexic would be much fun."
Jondy shook her head, 'Nuh uh, that's bulimics... anorexic's don't eat at all.'
"Oh. Huh. I never knew the difference until today," Syl shrugged.
Jondy smiled, 'Well, like they say, you learn something knew every day...'
Syl nodded, as they walked into the main hall, where her eyes suddenly narrowed; Krit was on the couch, talking to the others. "Excuse me while I give Krit a sound beating."
Jondy winced and nodded, 'Yeah. I'll just h, go over there...' she gestured vaguely in the direction of Zack, and watched Syl march over to Krit.
"You ASS!" Syl yelled, punching Krit in the face. "I was PLASTERED. And you TOOK ADVANTAGE OF me!"
Krit, holding his eyes now, glanced at her with an injured look. "I did no such thing. I was good. I didn't take any vantage of you! Zane? Zack? Help?"
Zane, who'd been standing with Brin, discussing the logics of brain steam manipulation, winced when he saw the force with which Syl hit Krit. 'Ouch!' he said through his teeth. He looked at Brin, and nodded towards Krit, 'I'll just be, ah, going over there...'
Brin nodded, looking over with concern. "Remember, Krit was evil to her yesterday. But, jeez," Brin winced as Syl hit Krit again, "She doesn't have to use her killer instinct."
Zane nodded and walked over to Syl and Krit, 'Things okay over here?' he asked.
"Zane. I've been saved by Zane," Krit leapt to his feet, putting Zane in between him and Syl. "She's hitting me - hard. And it hurts. She's meant to be hung over."
"Being hung over just makes me hit harder," Syl growled
Zane winced as a misplaced punch hit him in the arm. 'Hey!' he said to Syl, 'Okay, seriously, what's the problem?'
Syl looked at Zane with wide eyed disbelief. "I'm hung over. Last night, I quite distinctively remember Krit's hands doing things they shouldn't have been doing and he said Candy's name. I have pent up anger. I am now releasing this anger."
Zane shook his head, 'Um, hate to like interrupt the beating, but wasn't it yesterday morning... rather than night, that he said Candy's name?'
"Minor detail," Syl said, attempting to kick Krit.
"That's cheating," Krit said, smirking
Zane grunted, 'Hey! Still in the middle here!'
"You'll be an unavoidable casualty in a second," Syl snapped
'Not if I can avoid it.' Zane said, grabbing Syl in a headlock, and yelling at Zack, 'Zack! Get your add over here NOW!'
Zack came running over with Jondy following close behind. 'Yup?' Zack answered with a mouthful of donut.
Zane rolled his eyes at him, 'Grab Krit he said.' And before Krit could react, Zack had grabbed him, and Jondy had been sent to get rope.
'Now,' Zane said, as he tightened the rope's around Syl and Krit's ankles. 'You two are staying here until you either talk this whole thing out, or kiss and make up…' he paused at the glares that were sent in his direction, 'And mean it!'
"This is not happening," Syl said. "I CANNOT believe you are doing this to ME, ZANE! And YOU, ZACK! You are NEVER going to hear the end of the Rubber Ducky Incident NOW."
Zack just smiled at Syl, and nodded 'So? Everyone who matters, SAW the Rubber Ducky incident...'
"Logan Cale didn't, neither did Jace," Syl threatened. "I'm sure Miracle Boy would get a kick out of those pictures."
"Shut up Syl," Krit retorted. "This is your fault. If you'd taken your anger out on an innocent wall like your brother, we wouldn't be inventing a new type of bondage."
"MY FAULT!" Syl glared at him. "You think this is MY FAULT you undesirable PRICK. You NOT ONLY called out YOUR ex's NAME while you were having sex with ME, but last night, when I was freaking PLASTERED, you were groping at my ass! Did Lydecker forget to add brain cells to you Krit, because in my world, that means this is YOUR FAULT!"
"YOU are so much like ZACK it would be amusing if it wasn't so fucking SAD," Krit yelled back, pulling against the ropes. "MAYBE if you were willing to consider a RELATIONSHIP between us, I wouldn't have been such a PRICK. You've got the emotional accessibility of a BRICK, SYL!"
Zack winced, 'Hey! How is being like me sad? That's hardly fair... I mean, I'm not sad... am I?' he asked, turning to Zane.
Zane shrugged, 'Dude, I dunno. As long as how one hits me again,' he said as he glared at Syl, 'Or calls me sad, I'm purely observing.' Zack pouted slightly, and turned to Jondy, 'Jay? Am I sad?'
Jondy rolled her eyes, 'The more you ask that question he sadder you become...'
Syl shook her head. "Be freaking practical, Krit. If we had anything, we'd end up killing each other! It wouldn't be practical! It would've ended badly! Hell, it ended badly when we DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING!"
Krit shot Syl a venomous glare. "We did. I know we did. Things always turn out okay in the end, Syl; if things aren't okay, then it's not the end. Obviously we're not okay, so obviously whatever we have ISN'T OVER."
Syl blinked. "You're a TEENAGE BOY. LUST is your MIDDLE FREAKING NAME. Leave me OUT OF YOUR HORMONAL pursuits, for god's sake!"
"Syl," Krit shook his head. "I love you. I will always love you. I don't understand why you don't want to actually consider a relationship. Maybe its because you're a bitch; I honestly don't know. But I do love you. And anything that happened last night was because for a moment I could pretend you loved me. I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to make you so mad."
Syl froze, her resolve softening. "Okay. I won't beat your ass," she said quietly. "But..."
Krit nodded. "I get it. Friends."
Syl nodded. "Deal. Now for god's sake, SOMEBODY untie US."
Zane shrugged, 'I dunno... do you promise to be nice?'
Jondy rolled her eyes, 'To everyone...' she looked at Zane, who was looking as her questioningly, 'Hey, we gotta cover our backs too. May as well do it while they're tied up..'
Syl rolled her eyes. "Only if I can have food."
Zack nodded, 'That's a fair bargain, but I feel like I need something else...' he paused. No one said anything. He glared, Oh come on guys! One joke, and you DON'T get it! Of TV...that Ad?' He frowned, 'Damn it.'
"Untie us," Krit said. "Now."
Jondy tilted her head. 'Sure.' she stepped towards him 'Wait a second. Is there anything else we could possibly gain out of this?'
Syl looked at Jondy. "I have a gun upstairs. And you have to sleep sometime. Untie me."
Jondy smiled sweetly at Syl, 'Now now Sylly, you promised to be nice.' she sighed, 'Fine. This was getting boring anyway.' She walked over and untied first Syl and then Krit.
"Finally," Syl said, leaping to her feet. "If anyone wants me, I'll be eating my way through TC's food supplies." And she spun on her heal, walking towards the kitchens.
Krit watched her go, looking like a puppy who had just been kicked. "I'm never going to hook up with her, am I?"
Zane shrugged, 'Dunno. Slightly higher chance now that before though.'
"We were having random sex before. Now we're ... meh.. sort of," Krit ran his fingers through his hair. "Girls suck."
Jondy frowned, 'Hey! We do not!' she paused... and sniggered, 'Except on certain occasions...'
Krit winced. "Thanks Jon. That was an over share. Fine, Girls are evil."
Jondy stuck her tongue out, 'Are not! You're Evil!' she announced, and then turned around and marched off in the direction Syl had gone, 'I'm going to eat.'
Krit walked over to where Brin had been watching, and flopped into a chair.
"That was interesting. That was material for your 21st, Krit," Brin smiled angelically.
"Thanks Brinny," Krit said frowning. "Seriously Zane, how did you get Brin?"
Zane shrugged and frowned, 'She turned up and... ' he paused and looked at Brin, 'Hey HOW did I get you?'
"Drunken heat cycle. We decided we'd see where it went," Brin said, smiling as she examined the ends of her hair
Zane nodded, 'Right... I have a vague memory of that.'
"Huh," Krit said. "I wonder when Syl goes into heat..."
"Lets not go there," Brin said quickly. "Not a good plan. Your best bet is to ask Zack and Jondy to put in a good word for you - they're closest to her."
Krit nodded. "Yeah."
Zane nodded. 'Yeah.'
