Chapter 11: Surprise, Surprise

I looked around, still on the floor. I groaned as I sat up, rubbing the back of my head. "Geez, it feels like I've been hit upside the head with a steel pipe," I grumbled, pressing the heels of my hands into my eyes.

"Yeah, that's a side effect of the hypnotism, sorry 'bout that. You're honey bunny may be a little irritated for the next couple days and your teammates are going to be feeling it worse than you," said a cheerful voice in front of me.

I jerked my head up to find Stephanie sitting on the arm of the sofa. Her legs were crossed. Her hand cupped her chin with her elbow resting on her knee. A grin curved her lips.

"You were supposed to move on after this! Why are you still here?" I cried, struggling to my feet. I was sore all over the place.

Stephanie just grinned. "I want to see their faces when they wake up and watch this video," she said, patting the camera next to her.

"What?" I asked dumbly, looking between her and the camera.

"I videotaped the whole thing," she said in surprise, "I thought you would've realized that. You ran past the camera like six times." She tilted her head to the side slyly. Her grin resembled that of the Cheshire cat's. "Well, this one at least. I made good use of your honey bunny's meticulous set up of cameras and microphones."

I cricked my head to the side. I stared at the camera and the power cord leading out the door. I looked to the monitors and found them all transmitting images. "When the hell did he have time to set them up?" I cried and then narrowed my eyes at the monitors, "Did you move them?"

Stephanie made an indignant sound in the back of her throat. "Of course I didn't. I made King Oberon do it," she said, pointing at Monk.

I sighed. "One, his name is Monk, and two, Naru is going to ring your ghost neck because you moved him cameras," I told her with a shake of my head.

"It was all for the sake of the play," she said haughtily turning her eyes away from me with a smirk, "Oh look, their waking up."

Just then, I heard a groan from beside me. I jumped, turning to find Naru pushing himself up onto his elbows. "Oh god, Naru, are you alright?" I cried, grabbing his shoulder.

He turned his head slowly up at me. His eyes were narrowed in annoyance. "What?" he growled.

I recoiled a bit before going in head first. "I asked if you were okay," I told him.

"What the hell?" Ayako groaned followed by the rest of the team. Jessica and her acting group were nowhere to be seen. "Why do I have a hangover?" she grumbled, sitting up and letting her head slump against the couch.

"You're not the only one," Masako growled, "What are you wearing?" She raised an eyebrow at Ayako's attire.

"What am I wearing? What are all of you wearing?" Ayako asked, holding back her laughter as her eyes scanned over everyone. Her eyes landed on Naru and me, a knowing grin spreading across her face.

Knowing my ass.

"You guys look ridiculous," I told them with a grin, helping Naru sit up. His eyes were narrowed in pain. He slipped his head between his knees, ignoring our useless conversations. "You guys look even more ridiculous in the video." I looked towards the monitors. Though I hadn't actually watched the video yet, I knew it would be absolutely hilarious.

Their eyes widened. "What video?" they all asked in unison.

"What one do you think?" I asked, jerking my thumb over my shoulder to the monitors.

Lin was already at the monitors, rewinding the video to nearly a day ago. We all watched as a camera was moved around to face into the base. We were all in there, even Monk, and we had all just passed out. I gave Stephanie the 'you lied' look. She just shrugged, smirked, and pointed to the monitors. The team had crowded around the table with all the monitors in it. Even Naru was peeking out from under his leg to watch the show.

We watched Stephanie appear with the 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' book in her hand. She pointed to everyone in turn, appointing them a role. Ayako and Masako gasped in horror when they heard their roles.

"Oh no, I'm so embarrassed and it hasn't even started," Masako mumbled into her hands, hiding her blushing cheeks.

"You're embarrassed? I have to be lovey-dovey with a donkey!" Ayako shouted, turning her glare on Monk, "And it's all your fault!"

Monk was clutching at him stomach in laughter. "It's not my fault," he defended through gasps for air, "It's my character's fault."

"Same difference!" Ayako cried.

"Shh!" Yasu hissed, staring intently at the screens.

After Stephanie had finished dishing out the parts the camera went black. When it came back on it was pointing down the hallway where Luella and Martin were walking down. Naru's eyebrows disappeared below his low hanging bangs when the camera turned to point at Naru and I holding hands.

The whole team oohed like grade-schoolers except for Lin and Naru. When he thought I wasn't looking, he peeked at me from under his bangs giving me contemplative look. I blushed, staring at the screens.

I mostly tuned the video out, only paying attention when it came to a part I had blacked out during though the whole time I could hear Stephanie laughing her ass off behind us. When her laughter suddenly increased to its loudest I knew something that was probably going to embarrass us for the rest of our lives was about to play.

It was the end of the play within a play, something I vaguely remembered, and we were all off to bed. We watched Ayako and Monk dance hand in hand around the house, which was hilarious in and of itself. The people from Jessica's acting group who were fairies danced from room to room.

They passed first through Yasu and Masako's room where they were already falling fast asleep in each other's arms. Next was Martin and Luella's room where they shared a glass of wine while slowly dancing. Last was Naru's and my room. We were wrapped in each other's arms, staring at the ceiling and rubbing patterns into each other's bear shoulders.

Madoka launched into her soliloquy as she walked through the house. When the screens went black the room was completely silent. Stephanie burst out laughing just everyone whipped around to stare at Naru and me.

I stared wide-eyed back, stumbling over my words like a new born puppy. "I-I d-d-don't know what that was! W-what was it?" I cried.

"What was it? It was you and Naru naked in a bed!" Monk cried, his fatherly instincts kicking in.

"Because we were hypnotized! Stephanie, I'm going to kill you for that!" I shouted, my cheeks the color of ripe tomatoes. I swung around, staring at her with a glare that promised revenge.

"Sorry honey, someone already beat you to it," she said with a teasing grin, "You might wanna get her outa here. It's late anyway, and you two might get attacked if you stay here much longer. But you know, that might happen to her anyway." She was staring at Naru and wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.

As everyone started to advance on us Naru grabbed my hand and started pulling out the door. "You got what you wanted Stephanie, it's time to move on!" I shouted at her before we were out the door.

"Not everything and I'm not leaving until I've fulfilled this new found wish," she replied as we disappeared down the hall.

Well, there you go. I know this chapter was kinda really late, but I got a new puppy and I was having a hard time thinking of how to end this chapter. I know Naru is a bit OOC, but I still hope you liked this chapter. I sure had a lot of fun writing it, review please :D
