Chapter IV: The Party Is Just Beginning!
This is where the friends or gang got back each other. This is the fun part!
After calling up their truce, Zick and Elena made them back together. Teddy and Lay are, at last, together again. Then…
Teddy: (hugs her back): Well, that's okay. Sorry I embarassed you. Shall we, friends, dance now?
Zick: I've been waiting for this, and it's 8pm! Let's dance 'til dawn! DJ, crank this stadium!
DJ: Sure will!
Zick: Play "Hold It Against me"!
(Pop Music Starts)
Teddy: May I take this dance?
Lay: Sure will!
The three are dancing, except for Zick, who is actually shy to dance.
Elena: Come on, Zick! Dance!
Zick: Elena, no. I can't dance. I have two left feet.
Elena: Who cares? You have your style!
Zick: Okay.
Hey, over there
Please forgive me
If I'm coming on too strong
Elena: Just follow my steps.
Zick: (dancing) Hey, I think I got it! Go, Elena!
Hate to stare
But you're winning
And they're playing my favorite song
Elena: That's it! Just let yourself go!
Teddy: Work it out!
So come here
'Little closer
Wanna whisper in your ear
Make it clear
Little question
Wanna know just how you feel
Zick: Give me your hand. (Holds her hand)
Elena: Okay. Gently spin me.
If I said my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
Elena and Lay: Hold me tight.
Cause you feel like paradise
And I need a vacation tonight
So if I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
Teddy and Zick: I got your back
Elena and Lay: Sway.
All: Rock that body out.
Hey you might think
That I'm crazy
But you know I'm just your type
I might be 'little hazy
But you just cannot deny
Zick and Teddy: Move your body.
There's a spark in between us
When we're dancing on the floor
I want more
Wanna see it
So I'm asking you tonight
Elena and Lay: Hold me.
If I said my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
Cause you feel like paradise
I need a vacation tonight
So if I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
If I said I want your body, would you hold it against me?
Elena and Lay: Carry me.
Teddy and Zick: Sure will.
(Instrumental)
If I said my heart was beating loud
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
If I said my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
Cause you feel like paradise
And I need a vacation tonight
So if I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
(Song Ends)
Zick: Whoo! Let's go on the stage! DJ, can we crank this music up? Tune the "Born This Way" instrumental!
DJ: Born this way it is!

Zick: My mama told me when I was young, we are all born superstars
Elena: She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on, in the glass of her boudoir
Lay: "There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are." She said, "'Cause He made you perfect, babe."

(Song ends)
Zick: (on the microphone) Did you enjoy the show? Thanks for listening to our song! Right now, we'll take 30 minutes break. (Out of the microphone) Come on, I'm parched.
Elena: We really rocked the whole night out! Whew! I need a drink.
Lay: And speaking of drink, my lips are drying here.
Teddy: Yeah, I felt that my throat is dry. Let's get some punch.
Zick: I'll go get some table for us.
Waiter: Excuse me; are you the ones who sang at the stage?
Zick: Uh, yeah.
Waiter: Here's your special table.
All: Wow, thanks!
Press: Can we take pictures of you?
Teddy: Wait! Don't forget me!
Elena: Sure.
(Background Music: Tik tok by Ke$ha)
Teddy: Yeah, matched song!
Waiter: Here are your drinks! On the house!
All: Thanks!
Teddy: Hey, aren't they tricking us or something?
Zick: Are you kidding? These people are from the press! I wonder what will the people say?
Elena: Beats me. We're gonna find that out someday. Come on, let's dance the whole night!
The four danced until midnight. Until…
Lay: Hey, guys look! It's 2am! We gotta go now!
Elena: I agree with her. Come on, Zick!
Zick: But…?
Elena: Either you come with us or I'll tell your mother you're flirting with Lay!
Lay: Hey!
Zick: (exclaims) Okay, okay! Teddy come on!
Teddy: I don't wanna be left out here!
Zick: You are now.
Teddy: Okay!
The four got to ride a taxi, until they fell asleep. Teddy woke up first, telling them that they're at Zick's home. Until his mom and dad caught him.
Greta and Zob: Zick!
Zick: Uh-oh.
Greta: I can't believe you went home so late! It's already 3am!
Zick: Oh sorry. We got stuck in the traffic, and then Teddy went to the bathroom.
Zob: And you even brought your friends here, didn't you?
Zick: Yeah, about that. Can they sleep over here? They'll go home at 10am.
Greta: Okay, but just this night. I don't allow you and your friends to sleep over in this night. Now go up.
Zick: Yes mom. (Going up with the three)
Teddy: Huh, so this is your bedroom. Where's the bathroom?
All: (quietly) Huh?
Zick: Why? Let me guess, you're gonna take a whiz?
Teddy: No. Just gonna change my clothes. (Runs to the bathroom)
(Zick grabs his shirt)
Teddy: Hey, what's the hold up?
Zick: Girls first.
Teddy: (exhales) All right. Just to make sure they'll hurry up 'cause I'm tired.
Zick: Well, you're not the only one.
Teddy: How selfish of me.
(Both standing at the bathroom door)
Zick: (knocking) Hey, are you flooded there with toothpaste?
Teddy: (knocking harshly) Hurry up! I need to sleep you know!
Zick: Teddy, don't knock like a lunatic.
Teddy: (stops knocking) Sorry.
Elena: (went out of the bathroom with Lay) Geez, rude much? Get inside the bathroom! The bathroom is all yours; hug it for all I care!
Zick: Come on, Teddy. Hurry up. If you wanna sleep.
Teddy: Okay. I don't wanna have double B while sleeping.
Zick: Double B?
Teddy: Bad breath. In case you haven't know it.
Zick: Yeah, yeah. Now, will you excuse me, I need to change my clothes.
Teddy: And I'm gonna brush now, but please hurry up. I need to change my clothes too.
Zick: Yeah, sure.
(Went out the bathroom 10 minutes later)
Zick: Whoa. I guess these two need a rest. (chuckles softly)
Teddy: Okay, you gotta sleep too. I need rest, you know.
Zick: Yeah, fine. (yawns) Now, quiet down. We need some shut eye.
Teddy: (yawns and grabs his sleeping bag) I know. Good night, Zick. Don't let the bed bugs bite.
Zick: Good night, Teddy. Lights out. (turns off the switch)
