Chapter 24

As the music rang through the hall, Samson and M met in the reception area. M had dressed into her party outfit, Samson was still in his boxers. As they kissed, M whispered in his ear,

"i really enjoyed today!"

"So did I" he said back

"I love you!" she said

"i love you too. Maybe once all this is over, and we're 16 of corse, we can,"

"Stop right there!" M interrupted "lets not ruin what we have. We don't need to plan. When things need to happen, we'll know about it. Lets just wait, and then, then," she thought very carefully about her next few words, but looking at Samson, she lost all sense of mind,

"screw it we can have sex again tonight!" she exclaimed, before wrapping her arms around Samson, like there was nobody else in the world.

As they walked into the main hall, the room had been transformed into a proper dance room. The room was full of water vapour and steam. Strobe lights ran the length of the room. M and Samson stood in awe. At the centre of this revolution, stood Jet and Luca. David ran alongside M and Samson

"What the?" he spluttered

"The dance floor, under new management!!" Jet gleamed, her black robes made her appear to float across the floor

"We are going to show you how to party Atiome style!" Luca continued, before looking over her shoulder. "Sof, The Music!" she called

"Ok!" Sofamke's voice came from behind the stairs. Then rang out some music Neither Samson, M or David had heard before. I didn't sound like anything from earth!

"My brother and I," Jet explained over the sound of the music, "Were in a band before we were called up to fight. And every weekend, the entire city would party to music like this. So, for one night only, Atiome is REBORN!!!" she cried, as sparks flew in formation from behind her

"You've been busy!" Siobhan's voice came from behind David, as she dived into the pit, as Samson, David and M followed. As the music shook the very foundations of the building, gradually, the whole team was down partying. Sofamke had the bar producing drinks automatically, so everyone could hit the floor. Jason, Samson Pete, M, Siobhan, Will and Jet hit the centre, where the water vapour jet was unleashing it's air, and before too long, they were all soaked to the skin.
Fi, Luca, Olva, David and Sofamke were partying on the raised platforms the duo had set out, out of reach of the vapour, but close enough to feel the heat of the disco. The odour of sweat was going to fill the room the following morning.
Ella and Jess were sat at the bar, needing to take time out of the hectic dancing, having just had a drinking competition. The party, once again was due to drive into the early morning. The centre stage on the lower level had now turned into a moshpit. Jess and Ella had now rejoined the fray. Hard rock thudded the walls of the room, that had turned from a base of operation to a club for the weekend! A the heart of the pit, M and Samson embraced lovingly. Most of the people in the pit had disposed of their soaking tops, and had the water running down their torso's. As tit dripped onto the floor, it evaporated almost instantly. As the steam plumed into the air, up on the upper levels, David, Fi and Sofamke were laying on sunloungers sipping yet more cocktails.

"This is the life!" sighed Fi

"And i suppose you want to have another tomorrow, last night and all," David groaned

"Spoil sport," Sofamke snorted

"Well, I'll tell you now," David said firmly

"Aw, Davey!" Fi used a pet name, in fear of him forbidding another party,

"You're clearing up the mess!" David finished, causing Sofamke and Fi to smile broadly, and relieved.

"But call me Davey again, I'll swing for ya!" he muttered.

Fi just laughed

Back down in the pit, Jess had her sights on Jason again. She was determined to tattoo herself in his heart, even if she had to wait for anything else. Jet and Samson were setting off fireworks in the centre of the midst's grabbing everyone's amazement. The party mood swung back to dancing, and as Jess edged nearer, a third romance was occurring. Olva and Luca had moved down into the pit, and as Jet came back to the party, Olva made his move.

"Great party!" he cried.

"Glad you like it!" Jet called back, as the song that was playing ended. "Fancy the next dance?"

Olva had never thought it would be this easy to get a dance!

"y----yeh, Yes! Certainly!" he stuttered

Venturing into the centre of the pit, The next song came on. Olva looked at his partner, and couldn't help but smile like he'd never smiled before.
The moment was slightly spoilt by half naked Jess, Daine and Jason joining in, although, while the moment they shared lasted, it was worth every second.

On the upper levels, from the comfort of their loungers, David and Fi watched on.

"Attar' boy!" David commented on Olva making his move on Jet

It was only about 2 days ago you were complaining that too many people were making out in your business!" Fi reminded him

"yeh well, that was a day for working, this is the time and the place for having fun!" David explained

"I suppose," admitted Fi

"You got anyone on the outside?" David asked

"We're not in the Big Brother house you know!" Fi shot back

"I know, but the question still stands." David persisted

"I might do, i dunno. There was this one lad, Andrew. When i first discovered i was a mutant, he was the only person not to freak out. He was so understanding. He helped me escape." FI explained.

"Well," David suggested, slightly touched by Fi's recollection, "When we've finished with Althea, what say you and I go and fid Andrew, and have a happy reunion?"

"Would you do that?" Fi asked, excited by the prospect.

"What else are bosses for?" David sighed, before returning to his drink.

Fi just smile, before her 6 metallic wings shot from her back, and she flew down to the party below.
