Hey Headintheclouds13, I hope this makes your pass-tense bad day a little bit better!
It may help if you guys have seen Almost Famous and/or Girl, Interrupted
"Oh my God…" Alice blinked, not quite believing the scene splayed out before her. Pitts and Meeks looked like rabid fan girls had ravaged them. Vivid lipstick stains covered varying angles of their revealed skin and their shirts were each buttoned wrong and unevenly with their collars bursting open in a rumpled mess. Meeks's glasses were in danger of falling off the one ear it was hanging on, his other eye covered by a lacy blue bra while Pitts complemented him nicely with a pair of cherry panties shoved onto his head. Alice stifled her laughter and turned away as Neil continued to look scandalized. The bagel that Todd had in his mouth fell with a smack onto the floor and Todd's eyes unwillingly followed his food's path and gasped. Pitts seemed to be wearing a pair of horrid neon pink heels (accounting for one of the reasons he was being supported by two girls) that were far too small while Meeks was missing a shoe as they emitted their dying laughter and the girls around them were in chorus.
Charlie looked extraordinarily amused and had bright eyes that held a devil's grin. "Welcome, "He sprinted over and shook Gerard's hand as well as Meeks's with a huge grin. "Ladies!" He spread his arms open wide and then singled out a brunette. "Polexia," She giggled and he kissed her cheek. "Dearest, I can only imagine what you have done to these poor poor boys."
"I've never had champagne for breakfast before." Meeks announced in a cracked voice as he blinked awkwardly and the girl next to him cooed before kissing his cheek with a loud smack causing Meeks to blush with a guilty smile which caused her to coo delightedly again, repeating the whole process. Alice just shook her head and hid her smile as she exchanged a glance with Cameron who too couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Lisa!" Charlie greeted the blonde in the middle of Meeks and Pitts. She smiled with a purpose written into her voluptuous lips.
"Charlie," She drawled. "It's been awhile." Charlie took her white and kissed her with a sharp eyebrow.
"Too long." He added and she looked royal.
"Far too long." Cameron just rolled his eyes as he returned to his computer and Alice watched Lisa with memories pulling at her mind. How do I know that girl? Lisa wasn't dressed like the other three girls. Their hair was much longer and they had adorned themselves with shiny pointless jewellery-and a lot of it. Crocheted shirts and vest, velvet pants, really they looked like rock age hippies that believed in free love. In all possible interpretations of the word.
"Where's Penny Lane?" Alice asked, saving the piercing eyes of Lisa for later contemplation. The other brunette, the one that had been kissing Meeks, shrugged.
"Somewhere with William probably-what's up Alice?" Alice just smiled. She liked Sapphire the best out of all the Band-Aids. She was such a flamboyant hard-ass and the zaniest one by far.
"Nothing really. Been a pretty slow day actually. Thyme has taken us out a few times to work on some chapters that are in process."
"Yeah, that was fun." Charlie nodded with a sharp grin and Alice rolled her eyes.
"There is very little I enjoy less then being in a close proximity with you." Charlie faltered and placed a heavy hand over his chest.
"Ow my heart!"
"Other side of your chest dumbass." Cameron shot off not looking up from his sleek white laptop. Charlie flicked him off and looked down, realizing hi had his hand over the right side of his chest and not the left. "Technically your heart is in the middle of your chest but for a physical metaphor's sake—"
"Shut up Cameron," Todd interrupted as he picked up his cinnamon raisin bagel and brushed it off before stowing its carbohydratey goodness back in his mouth and took a bite. "So, where are you girls from?" He didn't seem much interested for as soon as he looked back in the fridge he let out a triumphant whoop and pulled out leftover French fries. "I call these!" In the background Cameron swore under his breath and glared towards Todd who had now put them in the microwave and binge-ate his bagel.
Two of them replied Almost Famous and Lisa (simultaneously) said Girl, Interrupted. Alice snapped her fingers. The title of where Lisa came from was familiar but not something, she had read or seen. Not yet anyways. It was odd, the way Charlie was edging slowly away from Lisa in a way no one would notice at first glance and how sharply she was looking him over. A definite cat and mouse situation.
"He taught us all the moves to Rock Horror Picture Show!" Polexia added with a beaming smile as Sapphire nudged a beaming Pitts. "My favourite one is Rose Tint My World!" The two Almost Famous girls looked at each other and shouted,"pool orgy!" Before bursting into giggles and Lisa looked amused.
"I still won the wet T-shirt contest—"
"Hold on!" Neil interrupted Lisa with his arms waving wildly as Todd looked over his shoulder towards Lisa with new found admiration. "How exactly did this all start?" he asked, scrunching up his face, dreading what answer he may receive as Alice nudged him with a Cheshire cat smile.
"Well," Polexia began as the girls escorted Pitts and Meeks to comfortable seats on the lurid furniture. "We three—"
"Shall meet again!" Todd cackled pretending to be a witch after he shut his French fries in the microwave. His mockery cause Sapphire to promptly pick up a china figurine and hurl it at him, missing by a few inches as it exploded into a rain of white dust and china shards.
"Hey!" Cameron hastily shoved his computer aside and ran to Todd's feet. "That's my Mother's!"
Sapphire smirked at Todd's cringing frame "Was your mother's now—"
"Fuck that!" Todd looked around wildly. "She tried to kill me! Did you guys see that?!" Alice nodded with a lack of sympathy as Cameron begrudgingly picked up the shatters of his mother's porcelain figurine as he muttered swears under his breath.
"Don't be such a pussy," She sliced in a jaunty fashion. "I mean really, it's not like it hit you or anything-but anyway, so Polexia and I were talking about Michael Phelps at the snack machine at the juncture between hallway D and E-"
"Why were we over there again?" Polexia scratched her head before falling on the sofa with Pitts and giggled when he started brushing her hair off his face. Polexia and Sapphire exchanged glances as Lisa smugly pulled a paling Charlie to the matching horrid looking love seat.
Sapphire shrugged. "I don't remember and it doesn't matter-anyway Michael Phelps—"
"Hot." Polexia interjected and Sapphire rolled her eyes.
"Well yes duh Polexia but anyway, we see this tall guy who looks kind of like Phelps!" She exclaimed as Polexia squealed, hugged Pitts and Meeks sighed, feeling left out. A noise that Sapphire notice and skipped over to his seat, standing behind him and began fussing with his hair. "That's pretty much our story."
"Sapphire suggested we deflower the kids, Lisa was getting water at the time at one of the machines and then Sapphire pointed at the both of them and screamed at the top of her lungs your time has come! And the rest is history." She sighed happily, as Neil slapped a palm to his forehead.
"Do you regret asking yet?" Alice nudged him with a sharp smile and he nodded.
"Yeah I think I do."
The ding of the microwave finally ended Todd's panic attack and he protectively cradle the leftover fries to his chest, picking out the longest one he found and sniggered at how mushy it was and set about the business of seeing if he could straighten it out.
"Oh by the way Alice," Polexia sat up on Pitt's lap while Charlie flinched under Lisa's touch. "I can fully recommend Pitts," the cry of Todd's triumph extracted everyone's attention for a split second and everyone saw the marvel of a straight mushy French fry. "Definitely Phelps's class in length!" She giggled as Pitts turned red and Alice scrunched up her face. It was then Todd winced and his French fry fell limp simultaneously.
"Thanks, thanks a lot for putting me off my food." He snapped in her direction as she giggled again.
