Disclaimer: I have gotten many threats from people...mainly Rachel for me to update and since she has updated. "Of Heaven and Hell" I must returns the favor and update this as well as my Peter Pan fanfics. So like I have been saying before, I don't own anything accept for character you are unfamiliar with and...so...here we go. P.S. Rachel I know what you are going to say to m after you read this chapter but don't fail next chapter you will know…I just like torturing you.
Monica let out a gut-churning screech. She left a good three feet in the air and landed right on her butt. Ouch.
"I'm sorry ma'am I didn't mean to frighten you." A now concerned voice came. Monica looked up to see two men bending over to help her off of the ground. I would like to tell you what they looked like but that is impossible at the moment because their hats were pulled over their faces. They were both wearing black and white tuxedos and on of the, (the 'I didn't mean to frighten you )men was wearing a cape. This made Monica feel a little uneasy because all she could think about was the From Hell, Jack the Ripper outfit and how they looked almost identical.
"Yes we were just admirein' the scenery as well love." The other man finally said. Now that Monica was upright and not screaming, she decided to ask a few questions...
"Who the hell are you? What are you doing here? You don't just lurk like a demon in the shadows to admire scenery! Do you have a brain? Is there a brain under that hat of yours you...you... jerk off!" Monica said.
"I, again, apologize greatly if we might have startled you." The other man said.
Monica let out a sigh and began to look around. "Well…where are you all coming from in those outfits?" Monica asked pointing at the two men.
"We are actually on our way to a party, my party actually it is suppose to be a surprise birthday party and..."
"Why isn' it a surprise?" Monica asked confused.
"I beg your pardon." The caped man asked.
"Well obviously this isn't a surprise if you know about it so…"
"Oh." He said with a small chuckle. 'Well my friend over here, he has a bit of a problem with keeping a secret."
"an' you kept biting me ear off every two seconds." His friend said.
"I'm sorry but…umm...could you umm…" Monica wasn't quite sure how to say this without sounding like a complete wanker.( British humor.) "Could you please tip you hat up so I cans ee who the hell I'm talking to." Monica said while chuckling.
"Oh I am dreadfully sorry, again." The caped man said. He then removed his top hat."
"Oh my freaking GOD!" Monica said with her eyes wide and mouth almost hitting cobblestone ground. "Ma-- Ma--- Man…oh Rachel isn't going to believe this shit!" Monica said completely abandoning all traces of her etiquette (not that she had any to begin with).
"I beg your pardon." The man said.
"Yeah wha' in blood 'ell are you talkin' 'bout." The mans friend said with a shocked expression on his face while removing the hat from his head.
"No it's just that you look just like…no fucking way!" Monica said as she turned to look at the other man. "This is un-fucking believable."
"Would ya stop cursin' an' tell us wha' is so exciting?"
"The two of you look like someone my friend and I….well…know."
"Well we're not them so you could stop with the sailor language." The man did have a point I mean she would be offended too if someone she had just met was using that kind of language around her.
"I am so sorry." Monica said. It's just that the resemblance is well…shocking. By the way my name is Monica." Monica said holding an outstretched hand.
"Thomas it is a pleasure." The caped man said while greeting my outstretched hand with a kiss.
"Me names Charlie." Te other man said grabbing Monica's hand from Thomas' grasp and shaking it violently.
"Well." Monica began after she freed her hand from Charlies grip. "I guess I should be on my way back to….well…where ever the heck I was going….you know I'm not sure where I was going….hmm isn't that funny? I mean, you have your mind set on this one particular thing at hat you are going to do and you just completely forget. Has that ever happened to you? I'm sure it has, I think it has happened to all of us every one in a--you don't care." Monica said nervously realizing that she was rambling about something that these men were obviously oblivious to judging by there blank stares.
"well, any who," Thomas began "I would be more that delighted if you accompanied me to this party, that is, if you can trust to complete stranger."
"Ah ah ah. She know us Tommy…well at least she met our faces. Aren't I right?" Charles said with a smile.
"Well…yeah I guess." Monica said smiling nervously.
"Then what is the problem?" Charlie said.
He lent Monica an arm. Monica hesitated for a moment and then said, "Ah hell with it. If I can survive living in Brooklyn for years, I can survive the two of you."
"That's the spirit love." Charlie said chuckling then stopped and thought about what she had just say. "Hey!"
Thomas and Monica just chuckled.
MEANWHILE… NOT THAT FAR AWAY
"I really don't that we should have left Monica there." Rachel said with a worried expression her face.
"Do you think that we should turn around a catch up with her?" The Duke asked.
"I…uh…yeah I think we should." Rachel said.
"Say no more. William. Turn back we are going to get Miss Monica."
The driver said nothing. All they felt was an abrupt halt and their bodies being turned around.
"I mean I don't think that she's gotten mugged or anything I just think that we should--"
"You don't have to explain yourself darling." The Duke said while putting a hand to Rachel's face. Even though his hand were cold at Rachel was feeling was hot, HOT HOT!"
"What time is it?" Rachel asked.
"Last time I checked it was 12:45." The Duke said.
"Really I thought it was much earlier." Rachel said.
"Well, what can I say? Time flies when you're having," The Duke then stopped and inched closer and closer to Rachel.
"Having fun?" Rachel asked.
"Yes as a matter of fact I am." The Duke said with a slight smile.
"Well well well." Rachel said while folding her arms. "I wouldn't have pegs you for a joker but then again I though that you were a complete douche-bag when I first me you."
"I am not quite sure what that mean but I take it is doesn't mean smart a charismatic." The Duke said with a chuckle.
"Again with the jokes." Rachel said tile her head in his direction.
"I amuse you?" The Duke teasingly asked Rachel.
"Well…yeah…I mean you do look kind of funny." There was a sudden pause. Rachel didn't make eye contact with the Duke right away but when she did she was greeted by a man with his jaw dropped and eyes wide. At first Rachel didn't know if she had crossed the line with a remark but then she hear a earth shattering cackle come form the Duke.
RACHEL THINKING: Note to self….fix that laugh.
As Rachel and the Duke were riding past the park they noticed a girl who looked a hell of a lot like Monica walking with two strage men.
"Well it seems that Miss Monica has made her own set of friends." The Duke said with a chuckle.
"who the hell is she with?" Rachel asked
"It would appear that she is with Thomas Ferter and Charles Dark." The Duke siad.
"WHO!" Rachel siad while almost sticking her entire head out of the window.
"Thomas Ferter and Charles Dark." The Duke repeated.
"That slut." Rachel said jokingly.
"Shall we fellow them?" The Duke asked.
"Are you kidding me? I already told to driver to let us out at the corner."
