Last Time: John opened the car door, and the others got out.

Christy straightened her top, and looked across the crowded road toward the Spirit Bar. It had a wooden exterior, and looked two stories. A large crowd was milling around outside of it, and the sign was bright neon blue and white.

Christy crossed the road with John, as Joy and Dave were wrestling again behind them.


They walked up to the bouncer, where John showed him his ID card.

"Fine, don't wait for us," Christy heard Jackie say, as she, Shelton, Lita and Torrie came up behind them.

"What?" John said, innocently. "Come on, let's go."

They entered the club with much difficulty, as it was packed with people. It was a large building, the lower floor holding the dance floor, a DJ and a long expansive bar that stretched across the wall to their right. There was a second level that was joined by a wide staircase to their left. It was like a balcony that wrapped around the room. People leaned over the banisters, watching those below.

The music was extremely loud, and pumping through the room. The only lights on were lasers and neon lights. John led the others through the thick crowd toward the staircase. They walked up the stairs, toward a far corner booth, that was the only empty one left.

"Finally," Lita sighed, taking a seat and shuffling around toward the middle.

"Bring on the party!" Jackie laughed. "By the way, where's Dave and Joy?"

Christy smirked, looking toward the staircase at the end. Dave was chasing Joy toward their table. He caught her around the waist.

"Get a room," John shouted, and the looked back to the others. "You guys want drinks?"

Christy followed John back down to the bar below, and fought their way through the people. They took a seat on the stools that lined the bar. Christy looked toward the door, and saw Randy and his group entering.

"I thought they were in front of us?" Christy asked.

John looked toward the door also. "Who knows what they get up to. So you looking forward to the night?" He asked her, with a cheeky grin.

"You remember that day in the courtyard," Christy suddenly asked. The question had been lingering in her stomach ever since he failed to tell her what he felt. John nodded.

"Well…what were you going to say?" She continued, shouting slightly due to the loud music and screams from the people around them.

"Uh…I forgot," John said, shifting in his seat. He tilted his head away from her. "Well I didn't really forget…it's just, maybe this isn't the best time?"

Christy cocked her eyebrow, and felt a little let down.

"Oh…"

"Listen, I better take these up to the gang…they will be getting restless," he said, motioning to the glasses in front of him.

Christy stayed behind, unable to really think anything. Since when did John become a little reluctant to try and tell her his feelings for her? She watched him walk up the staircase, and he cast a quick look at her. She turned back toward the bar.

"Christy, what's up?" She heard Jackies voice.

Christy shrugged, as Jackie sat on John's stool. She ordered a drink.

"Is it John," she said, looking at Christy. It was more a statement than a question. She shrugged again.

"I don't know. It's nothing."

Jackie tilted her head.

"Anyway, John got me the wrong drink. Those were a little too weak for me, if you know what I mean," she said, taking a sip of her own drink. Christy smiled, as a group of guys walked up behind them.

"Hey girls, mind if we buy you a drink?"

Christy raised her eyebrow.

"No, that's ok."

"Aw, come on. It won't hurt," he said, smirking.

"We are fine, thanks," Christy said, ignoring Jackie's looks.

"No we aren't," Jackie chimed in, pushing her glass away.

"Jackie," Christy hissed through clenched teeth.

One of the guys gave Christy a weird look.

"She looks old enough to decide what she wants," he told her. "And what about you, babe?"

Christy glared at him.

"Listen, you pathetic jerk. Why don't you buy some other vulnerable girl a drink that you can spike, and then end up getting laid? We aren't joining you tonight. Im onto you, you horny bastard," she said, still looking at the main guy in the group.

"I wish," he smirked. But they didn't move.

"Come on, Jackie," Christy said, taking her arm. But Jackie stayed in her seat.

"Christy, come on!" She said, smiling. "They aint going to do anything!"

"Jackie!" Christy said in a desperate whisper.

"Listen, you don't have to stay. I can look after myself."

Christy cast her look. She wanted to look after Jackie, but did not want to hang around a bunch of stoners.

"Fine," she said, her temper rising. She pushed her way through many protesting people, back toward the staircase. She walked up it, and headed toward the booth. Dave, Joy and John were the only ones there.
