Vignette Three: Jail Mews
FRIENDS: Would bail you out of jail.
BEST FRIENDS: Would be sitting next to you saying "THAT WAS AWESOME! LETS DO THAT AGAIN!"
"That was awesome, na no da! Can we do that again, na no da? Please?" Pudding asked eagerly, looking at the four older girls sitting on the bench beside her. They all looked irritated and embarrassed.
"Pudding, I think we've had enough 'fun' to last a lifetime," Mint said irritably.
"My parents are going to kill me," Ichigo moaned, holding her head in her hands.
"My agent's going to have a fit if this gets out," Zakuro said emotionlessly.
Lettuce just sat with her knees pulled up to her chin, looking horrified and she whimpered every so often.
"This is not how I envisioned 'Girl's Night Out' to end," Mint said with a sigh, leaning her elbow on her thigh and her chin against her hand.
Finally, the police officer came and opened the door to the holding cell. Standing behind him were Keiichiro, Ryou, Pie, Tart and Kish.
"You ladies are free to go," The officer said and the girls scrambled to their feet.
"Really?" Ryou said dryly as they left the police station. "You girls had to go start a fight?"
"He threw the first punch!" Ichigo said indignantly, showing Ryou her discolored cheek.
"Yeah," Mint said. "We simply told him to back off of Lettuce and he got all indignant."
"Guy was totally drunk in a teen club," Zakuro said. "Not to mention was ten years older than Lettuce and being completely inappropriate."
"So, which one of you was it that hit the DJ with a chair?" Keiichiro asked.
"That would be Pudding, na no da!" Pudding said proudly. Then she ducked her head. "Pudding didn't know he was the DJ, na no da."
"The one that bit the security guard?" Pie asked.
"That would be me, I'm afraid" Zakuro said, her wolf fangs flashing in the light of the street-lamp as she smiled vaguely.
"Cracked the ribs of one club-goer with a single kick to the solar plexus?" Ryou asked.
"Me," Mint said proudly. "Years of supposedly meaningless leg strengthening exercises for ballet training completely worth it in less than ten seconds."
"The one who clawed the face of a girl?" Kish asked.
"Me," Ichigo said. She smiled vaguely. "I don't regret that, she called me ugly, amongst other things I won't repeat."
Kish grinned, wrapping his arm around Ichigo's waist.
"Should have known, that sounds like my kitten," He said, kissing her cheek.
"Alright, so then which one of you actually Kung-Fu flipped the guy?" Keiichiro asked, confused.
Ichigo, Zakuro, Mint and Pudding grinned while Lettuce ducked her head.
"Lettuce," The four grinning ones said while Lettuce squeaked out, "Me."
The boys stared in amazement at Lettuce, then Kish chuckled and turned to his older brother.
"You better stay on her good side," He teased.
"I am very, very aware of that," Pie said, smiling slightly as he wrapped his arm around Lettuce.
