The next day Lenny, Spanky, George, Gerkin, and Hunter sat in the library studying. Well, George and Lenny were; Gerkin, Spanky, and Hunter were talking about pirates and ninjas.
Hunter made a noise that could only be known as a 'squee', "Could you imagine a pirate ninja?" Gerkin had had enough, "YOU AND YOUR DRUNKEN HORNY PIRATES REPRESENT THE LOWEST DENOMINATOR OF SOCIETY!"
Hunter and Spanky gave each other knowing looks, "You have to admit, a pirate ninja would be the coolest thing," said Spanky.
Hunter and Spanky laughed while some pretty brunette walked up to them, "Hey, I just wanted to apologize about what I did to you in the bathroom."
Hunter raised her eyebrow, so this was the kappa, she thought.
"What did she do to you in the bathroom?" Spanky asked anxiously. "You're sick Spanky," she mumbled.
Of course a kappa would do something like that to Lenny. Everyone started packing up their stuff, "It's not surprising behavior for a kappa," Lenny said. He looked at everyone else, "Come on guys, let's go."
Hunter hung back. She looked at the girl, "Kappa pledge, of course, you know about all the cute little songs you guys do? Well here's one for you."
She put on a cheery tone and started clapping her hands, "Kappa kappa you are new! Kappa kappa, fuck you." Hunter flipped her off and walked away, leaving the pledge alone in the library. She couldn't help but giggle when she heard the girl yelling,
"If it makes you feel any better they threw bologna at us while we sang Celine Dion songs!"

All members of the Vortex were in their living room playing cards. "Hey," Hunter said, "you guys know what's coming up soon?"
They all shrugged their shoulders, "Karaoke night!" They all chuckled, thinking of the last time they had karaoke night.
The guys were all sitting the couch anxiously. Whenever it was karaoke night Hunter had a tendency to drink a bit, and dance provocatively. Music started playing; it was a song that everyone knew. A blush crept upon all the boys faces when the song got louder.
"Step inside, walk this way, you and me babe, hey, hey!"
Hunter walked out and all jaws hit the floor. She was in a leopard print bra, black fishnets, and tiny black short shorts. Usually when she sang it was average, but when she was intoxicated, she was convinced she was Cyndi Lauper.
"Love
is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it n.,
Livin' like a lover with a
radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition
woman, can I be your man?
Razzle
'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light.
Television lover, baby,
go all night.
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss ah
innocent sugar me, yeah."
Hunter wasn't drunk enough to start fumbling all over the place, so when she danced she managed to keep her balance.
"Hey!
C'mon, take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it
up."
Hunter squished herself between Lenny and Spanky. She gave them both flirtatious smiles. She scooted closer to Lenny, her arms wrapped his shoulders,
"Pour
some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on
me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get
enough."
She giggled and hopped onto his lap, his face was beat red and speechless. She leaned in closer to his face, "I'm hot, sticky sweet, from my head to my feet yeah."
Hunter gave Lenny a kiss on the cheek and jumped off his lap. She tripped over a table and fell on her butt. The guys rushed to her aid, "Is she okay?" George asked.
She started laughing out loud, the music was still blaring, "I think karaoke night is over you guys."
Hunter got up to get Harry while Lenny was going on about some Star Wars action figure. She came back and started petting Harry. "Look, it's the bathroom babe!"
Hunter looked out the window, "The kappa?" She looked outside, and sure enough, there she was. She looked at Lenny with a pout on her face, "Bring here in, she's gonna get sick."
She ran upstairs into the bathroom and got a towel. When she came back she handed the brunette the towel, she murmured a thanks and started patting herself with it.
"Guys," Lenny said, "This is Sydney, she needs a place to stay. She gave up her dorm room to pledge kappa. These are the guys. Gerkin, Terrance, George, Jeremy."
Jeremy used his puppet to speak, "Don't forget about me!"
Lenny nodded his head, "Yes, that's Scoozer."
Spanky leaned in and whispered what was with the puppet, "Jeremy's shy, he saw lots of therapists as a child, one of them suggested a puppet. Sydney smiled, "Don't hump my bunny slippers, she joked. Jeremy grinned, "No promises."
The wall caught fire, and Embele grabbed the fire hydrant and put it out in an annoyed manner.
"Spanky, George, put her stuff in my room, there's an extra mattress up there." They picked up her luggage and she thanked them.
Sydney went upstairs and Lenny went up with her. "Oh guys!" Hunter ran into the coat closest and pulled something gray out, "I was at the gym, odd I know, but I found something you guys might like."
She tossed the sports bra to Spanky, "Live up to your name dude."
Hunter sat back and watched as they hung it up and stared at it in awe. "I think I'm gonna go check up on the new girl." she said.
She walked up the stairs right as Sydney was about to turn off the lamp, "Hey dude, I'm sorry about yesterday."
Sydney sighed, "No, I deserved that. I had to learn about the kappas the hard way. Thanks for letting me stay in your room."
Hunter smiled, "It's no problem," she laid down in her bed, not bothering to get changed or anything. "Night," she mumbled.

Hunter had to leave early in the morning for her film classes. When she came back to the Vortex during a break, everyone was smiling, then said, "Not it." She looked around curiously, "Not it for what?" She asked.
Sydney smiled brightly "You guys are going to run for student council!"
Hunter reached into the fridge, "As awesome as that sounds, I can't. Last year I got kicked out of Pi Beta Omega for getting into a really bad fight, they kicked me out of mostly all school electives and shit."
Sydney stared at the black eye and busted lip, "I can see that happening," she said. Hunter probably took that as a compliment, since she smiled and said, "You haven't seen anything."
Since Hunter couldn't run for student council, she did her best to help. She posted signs, screamed at people, and held a face painting booth during the Sharks game. The guys were cooking burgers, and Sydney was talking to some blond named Dinky.
Hunter just finished painting a shark on a big buff guys face, when she looked over and saw Lenny talking; scratch that, flirting with the same blond Sydney was talking to. Hunter decided that she didn't like this girl. There was no reason for her to not like this girl. Lenny and her weren't dating, she had no control over him.
Then, the queen of the bitches showed up, "Uh Dinky, our booth is over there."
Hunter tuned out the voices around her, and focused on turning the guys face into one of a shark. It's hard to paint gills when all you hear is Sydney saying, "You know she was flirting with you, right?"
