Chapter 6
With the music blaring, Nicky's was already full of people when Caleb arrived. Walking over to the pool table, Caleb joined Reid and Tyler who were already playing. Greeting them both, Caleb looked around for a certain auburn that appeared missing. Tyler, noticing this, and told him that she hadn't arrived yet but assured him that she'll be here soon. Rolling his eyes, Reid pointed out the waitress bending over at the bar, "Well will you look at that?" The trio looked over and gave the waitresses backside a once over.
Tyler slams a twenty on the pool table betting on pink lace. The shaggy blonde shook his head and said, "Dude. That girl hasn't worn panties since she was twelve." Reid powered a gust of wind that blew the waitresses skirt up revealing exactly what he had predicted. Earning twenty bucks, Reid bought a beer and went over with Caleb to join Kate, Sarah and Chase. Caleb and Chase soon started a foosball game.
"So, you guys are pretty tight?" Chase asked while Caleb scored a point. "Families are real close," replied Caleb, "We kind of grew up together. We're kind of like family." Chase nodding, "Must have been nice" with him scoring the winning goal. Right when Caleb asked for best two out of three everyone in the bar turned and looked at the door.
Opening the door in walked Prue wearing a form fitting mini skirt, a one-shouldered Grateful Dead t-shirt and red high heels. Walking over to the pool table to join Tyler, every guy in the joint was giving Prue the once over with Caleb clenching and unclenching his fists in jealousy. After greeting Tyler Prue walked over to the jukebox, put in a quarter and selected G4.
Looking over her shoulder at Caleb, Prue turned around with "I Love Rock 'n Roll" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts coming out of the jukebox. Prue walked over to Caleb, looked him in the eyes and asked in a husky tone "Wanna dance?". Before Caleb could even open his mouth Prue grabbed his hand and pulled him out onto the dance floor. Sarah over to Tyler and did the exact same thing.
Just when both couples were just getting into the swing of things there was a commotion over at the pool table. It seemed that Reid was using his powers to hustle some of their classmates. One of them turned out to be Aaron Abbot, Prue's ex. Soon a fight broke out between Aaron and his cronies and Reid with Caleb looking over to Tyler nodding over its direction.
Outside Reid and Aaron faced off with one of Aaron's buddies. "You bet that I couldn't make the shot but I did, so pay up," Reid told them. Aaron's buddy said "We ain't paying you shit so if you don't like it why don't you just-" "What's the problem?" interrupted Caleb.
"None of your business," replied Aaron, noticing just then that Prue had join them. Walking over to her Aaron spoke "Hey, babe. The summer did you good. Why not after this is settle you come back to my place and we get our own party started, huh?"
Before any of the boys could answer him Prue walked over with a seductive smile and kneed him in the groin. Before another fight broke out Prue turned towards Aaron's friend saying "You better get him and yourself out of here before you get the same." Needing no more warnings, Aaron was carried out towards the parking lot.
Turning towards Reid, Caleb asked him "What were you thinking?"
"I was just playing them," replied Reid walking over to Caleb and whispering in his ear "Why don't you quite being such a pussy."
Caleb grabbed Reid' shoulder telling him "I'm not finished with you yet." With Reid grabbing Caleb's hand. Powered up Reid starts to break his hand as Caleb whispers "Reid. Stop."
Opening his eyes, Caleb showed that he to had powered up and pushed Reid backwards with an energy wave. Knocking over some empty beer kegs, Reid went flying into the metal siding of Nicky's. "What will it take for you to get it," Caleb told him while walking over to him, "Its additive you moron. You've seen what it could do to you if you abuse it. You want that, that's your business. But if you use it in the open like you did tonight you risk exposing us all and that I won't let happen."
Standing up, Reid levitates a keg. "My powers greater than yours," Caleb reminds him. "Not till you ascend," retorts Reid. Throwing his hands up in the air Caleb tells him to go for it. Reid shots the keg towards Caleb, which Caleb easily deflects. In return Caleb sends Reid crashing into some boxes of beer bottles, hitting the wired fence.
During this altercation, Prue was whispering for them to stop. It's not until Caleb is marching up to the injured Reid that Prue's eye go coal black. "What the hell are you guys trying to prove, huh?" yells Prue stopping Caleb in mid march. "Its always the same with you two." Forcing both Caleb and Reid to levitate and look at her. "Getting into a pissing contest while Tyler and I are on the sidelines watching you guys try and kill each other, well I for once I've had enough with your bullshit."
It's not until Prue started to walk away that Caleb was finally able to break through. When he starts to follow, Prue holds up her hand and Caleb is sent flying, landing right beside Reid. By the time Caleb gets up Prue is long gone.
