AN: I'm actually surprised that I got people that appreciated my story enough to review so thank you for that. It truly made me inspired enough to work on another part of the story. I just love bringing back older characters. Oh what I would do for a reunion episode, right?
The fire was losing its flame as the night went on and so everybody started to pick up. It was mostly quiet until Becky finally spoke.
"Wait. You guys can just leave everything here. I'll pick up the chairs and stuff tomorrow."
Everybody wanted to help but they felt more obligated to obey Becky after what she had gone through. They stood around and were talking about how to get home. They started to walk away.
Becky then said, "We should hang out tomorrow. All of us. I did have fun."
Nobody knew how to respond to that. They did need another time for them to all spend together before some of them leave to go off to college. Clare agreed with Becky, especially since she wanted to spend time with Eli. She did not know what to do so she glanced over to Alli and Jenna. They saw her and got an idea.
"Well the Bhandaris will be out of town tomorrow…" Jenna started.
"Why don't we have a party? I'm pretty sure I could convince Sav to be scarce. Or he could join us." Alli replied.
She was always looking for an excuse for a party. Sav didn't go back to university for another week and so he would be there. Nobody really minded. In fact, they all agreed it was a good idea. So with the idea set, everybody went home that night, excited for the next day.
Clare waited on her front porch at 6:50 for Eli to come pick her up. He eventually drove up to Clare's front lawn and Clare climbed into Bullfrog's car. Eli hadn't had enough money to get a new car with him going to NYU soon. The car ride was only 5 minutes but Clare treasured every minute of it.
They weren't the first one to get to Alli's and Jenna's house. Becky had arrived before to help set up. When everyone that stayed late after the bonfire showed up, they sat in a circle with music blaring in the background.
Alli had an idea. "Let's play never have I ever. Everyone should know the rules."
Bianca laughed a little when Alli said that. "Saint Clare is going to play a game that involves drinking?"
"Well, I was thinking that we remove articles of clothing instead of drinking since it would be way too obvious to my parents if everything smelled like alcohol." Sav said as he walked down the stairs to join them.
Bianca scoffed. "Like that's any better."
Clare was a little annoyed at Bianca's comment but it didn't bother her too much. She just retorted.
"I don't know if I can be called 'Saint' anymore."
Eli smirked as she looked at him. She knew it wasn't his fault. Only partly. Other than sex, there was also being manipulated, manipulating other people, skipping class, sneaking out, the vibrator, and getting piercings. Well, that one was Eli's fault. Clare felt like everyone was staring at her so he changed the subject off of her.
"I think that title should be given to Becky. Just saying."
Everyone laughed as they realized it was true. She hadn't done anything that was bad or rebellious that they knew of. Then the doorbell rang.
"I thought everyone was here?" Jenna asked, confused.
Sav looked at the ground and said, "I may have told a few people that knew Adam that there was a party."
"By the way, how did you know Adam?" Alli wondered.
Eli and Bianca knew the answer to that so Eli felt like he had to answer. "Sav, Bianca, Adam and I snuck out to a Dead Hand concert. Best night of my life."
Clare glanced at him. "Oh. Second best." Eli quickly said, trying to recover from how he may have insulted Clare.
Sav answered the door and four people came in. Most of the people at the party knew who they were. Riley Stavros, Zane Park, Holly J Sinclair and Anya MacPherson. Clare became slightly uncomfortable when she saw Holly J because she remembered her vampire fanfiction obsession. She mentally added that racy fanfiction to the list of stuff that made her less saint-like. She forgot about it again when Alli asked the obvious question from yesterday.
"How do you all know Adam?"
Riley and Zane knew Adam from the LGBT club meetings.
Holly J. knew him from when he helped get Fiona to go to rehab for her drinking.
Anya did not really know Adam that well. She was just hanging out with Holly J. since she recently finished her 6-month term in the army and wanted to visit her old friends. She also said that she could be there to make up for Fiona not being there. Nobody minded that she was there because she was willing to participate in Never Have I Ever.
Right as they were about to start, Owen and Drew came in from the kitchen with chips. Owen froze when he saw Anya. It had been months since they broke up because she didn't want to hold him back. He still missed her though. There was no way he was going to admit that so he just sat down.
When they started the game, the people there were Clare, Eli, Becky, Drew, Bianca, Jenna, Connor, Alli, Dallas, Imogen, Dave, Owen, Sav, Anya, Zane, Riley, and Holly J. Maya and Zig didn't know about it so they did not come.
Alli went first because it was her party.
"Never have I ever had a kid."
Dallas and Jenna took off some clothes. He ended up admitting that he had Rocky to everybody. Dallas wanted revenge so he went next.
"Never have I ever crashed a car. Accidentally or on purpose."
Alli and Eli took off a piece of clothing. Most people heard about Eli while Dallas was shocked. Nobody had known about Alli except for a few people so most people looked at her.
"Never drive after pulling all-nighters for a week."
Dallas then said "Drew, you go next."
"Never have I ever been accepted to university."
That made Bianca, Eli, Zane, Holly J, Owen, Sav, Alli, Riley, and even Anya took off clothes.
"Anya?" Owen and Holly J. said at the same time.
"I was accepted to TU this year..." Anya said.
Holly J. was really happy for her. Owen was still in shock. He ended up choking out a "me too." and everyone looked at him.
"I guess we'll see a lot of each other then." Anya replied, smiling. Then there was an awkward silence as they stared at each other.
"We're in the middle of a game, remember?" Connor said.
The game continued for a while with more rounds and revealed shocking things. When Becky said, "Never have I ever had sex," everyone, but Alli, Jenna, and Eli, were surprised when Clare took off her cross necklace.
Bianca took back what she said earlier and said, "So much for Saint Clare."
Clare simply muttered, "I told you so."
They ended up stopping never have I ever before everyone ran out of clothes, which was a relief to Clare. She felt like people always turned on her. Then they started truth-or-dare. Clare got out of a lot of the dares though by being in remission.
In the end, they all learned a lot more about each other. It would be the last night that all of them would spend together for a long time so they didn't want to waste it. By the time they all left, it would truly be a night to remember.
AN: Just so we're clear, I was considering continuing the night at the bonfire but then it would have to do with curfews. I really liked the Anya/Owen relationship and I figured Anya would get into college after a year. This ended up being a two-shot so I hope you enjoyed it. I will try to make new stories when I get new inspiration. Any ideas? ;)
