"mmmmmmmm…..Vittoria…just two more days…I need more sleep….", whined Ali, trying to ignore the insistent banging on her door.
Finally, after much banging it finally stopped and Ali drifted slowly back into dream land.
BAM!
Ali shot straight up in her bed only to have something black cover her eyes. She felt, what she thought had to be handcuffs, clamp on her hands and someone duck taped her mouth shut. As much muffled screaming for help she did and as much as she wiggled, she was being hauled away.
Oh god Oh god Oh god. I'm being kidnapped!! Vittoria!! HELP ME!!
Vittoria had only wanted to go get some water from down stairs. Just a simple glass of water. So she opened her door to see what? Masked men stealing her best friend.
"Ok……"
Vittoria took a few steps back only to come into contact with something solid. Not getting any warning at all, a hand came down on a pressure point on her neck, effectively knocking her out.
Vittoria groaned, feeling like her head weighed a ton.
What happened to me?…..
Immediately it all came back to her and she flung herself up right only to yelp out in pain and clutch her head.
"ohhhhhh mannnnnn……."
"Vittoria!!"
Vittoria was suddenly flung back onto whatever she was sitting on by a sudden object that seemed to be flung her way.
"Vittoria you're awake!!"
"Yeah…", Vittoria moaned, "I guess you can say that…."
Vittoria looked down at Ali looked up at her with the biggest smile. Vittoria suddenly knew there was trouble.
"Ali….where, pray tell, are we?", Vittoria said.
"Umm…well…you see………..", Ali mumbled, "Wewonthesweepstakesandthentheycameandkidnappedusbutonedudeknockedyououtandbroughtushereandcrissangeliswaitingforusoutsidethisroomcauseyoureinhisbedandthisishisroom"
Vittoria blinked. "Did you do that all in one breath?"
Ali, temporarily, forgot what she was thinking and nodded proudly. "Yup."
Vittoria nodded for a moment and sat there.
"Wait…..YOU'RE KIDDING ME RIGHT!?"
It only just registered to her at that moment, exactly what Ali said, and based on the fact that she wasn't anywhere in their home and the fact that she had this terrible pain in her neck, it had to be somewhat true.
Vittoria slowly slid out of bed and stood, with the help of Ali. Gaining her balance, she took a look around.
"Vittoria…."
Insert silence.
"Vittoria…?"
"Ali….", you could practically hear the anger evident in her voice.
There was a mighty loud squeak and Ali bounded out of the bed room followed by an enraged Vittoria. They ran around the room for a while until Ali took refuge in a large closet. Vittoria pounded on it violently.
"Get out here woman!!"
"Are you serious? They sound like twenty something year old teenagers…", drawled a voice.
"Yes Criss,", said JD, Costa at his side, "They won"
Criss stood staring at his hotel door and could hear angry vicious yelling and yelps from within.
Criss stood still for a moment and mumbled, knowing there was no way out. Taking deep calming breaths in through his nose and out through his mouth, he opened the door.
Vittoria panting angrily and prepared to give the door another thrashing when a firm hand caught hold of her wrist.
"I would like to keep my closet door in tact, if you don't mind"
Vittoria's green eyes glanced at the hand and followed to the face it belonged to.
"Criss….Angel…"
"Yeah, that's me. Now would you like to explain why you're trying to get into my closet?", Criss said, still holding her wrist, "Oh! You must be a crazed fan of mines wanting to steal some of my clothes…"
Vittoria could feel the anger bubbling up in the pit of her stomach. Stupid egotistical magician.
Ripping her wrist away from him, she knocked three times on the door and spoke.
"Ali. Mr. Angel would like his closet back. Now."
No sooner had Vittoria finished her sentence had the door flung open and Ali squealed, tackling the illusionist.
"Mr. Angel! I'm so glad to meet you!"
Criss chuckled nervously and fidgeted. "Yes Yes, now, if you don't mind, could you please get off?..."
"Ali, could you not act like a ten year old meeting her favorite actress?", Vittoria then covered her face. "Really, you're twenty five, start acting your age, not your shoe size"
Ali blushed and stood up and brushed herself off and then helped Criss to his feet.
"Why thank you my dear Loyal.", he said, brushing himself off, and causing Ali to blush harder.
Within seconds the room was dead silent.
"Can we go home now?", Vittoria mumbled.
Ali gasped in horror and Criss only flashed her a smile. "Sorry. You're stuck with me for a while. Remember, you two won the sweepstakes. Congratulations by the way."
Criss's P.O.V.
When I first walked into the room to congratulate the winners, I immediately knew this was going to be one helluva trip. I could tell the one with the black hair was not a friendly one. I the usual reaction from the bubbly one. I'm used to the whole fan girl, "Criss your hot" thing, but I rarely get jumped on by my fans.
Recovering I was expecting something along the same lines from the other but all I got was a cold look with a bored stance.
So here I am. Congratulating these girls and one looks like she's going to tackle me again but the other, from what I can tell from her eyes, are calculating the distance between her and the door of the hotel room.
I just know this is going to be fun. And yes, note my sarcasm.
"So ladies. I have dinner set up for us in a few minutes, so if you would please return to the bed room, there are two dresses I picked out for you both. Meet downstairs in an hours time. If you do get finished before hand, feel free to roam around the hotel and my room. "
I got a very enthusiastic response from the dark brown headed girl but the other gave a grunt of disapproval and they both disappeared into the back of the hotel room.
I however, left. One Sarcastic Realist and one love struck loyal.
Oh boy the fun we'll have.
Note Sarcasm again.
Vittoria's P.O.V.
I thought I was going to be able to make it out of the hotel room in time, but obviously I was wrong.
All I wanted to do was go home. I was stuck here with Ali and her infamous magician. Yeahhhhhh. Not fun.
But what could I do? I was all the way in Nevada and I didn't exactly have time to grab my purse and some cash get to home before I was knocked out.
Ali and her stupid need for this kind of stuff. And why us!? Argh.
"V?…"
My head snapped over to Ali. "What?"
She grimaced a little and took a step away. "We have to choose a dress to wear. You were in a daze. Sorry."
I noticed the guilty look on her face and I realized that this was indeed a once in a lifetime chance for her and she wanted to enjoy it. How could she though, if I was being miserable. I didn't want her to feel guilty at all.
"Sorry Ali…for …ya know…my behavior and all. I know this is a once in a blue moon thing so I guess I could…liven up"
Ali looked like she was four, celebrating Christmas. She ran over to me and threw her arms around me in a hug.
"Thanks Vittoria. You won't regret it. I promise. You might learn something new about him. We're stuck with him for a while"
"Yeah, stuck with a lame magician. Wow.." I dead panned and got a playful punch on my arm.
"He's not a magician V. He's an illusionist. Get it right ok?", she reprimanded me, "Now help me out to choose one of these dresses. The red one or the black one"
At first I was confused, but then, one look at the bed, and the two dresses on it said it all. Grumbling about stupid magicians, I randomly selected to wear the black one.
We both got showers, and dressed just in time. It had already been an hour and just as soon as we slipped into the matching shoes that were there too, by all means that we didn't see, there was a knock at the door.
"Mr. Angel is waiting for you two down stairs."
Ali squealed loudly and grabbed me by my hand, dragging me to the door.
"Come on Vittoria! Lets go!"
And I just knew, that this wasn't going to be a normal dinner.
