I'm back! I told you the wait wouldn't be that long! Silly people don't believe me! Anyway, this chapter is like a month after the last chapter. This is basically the bachelor and bachelorette parties. I'm sorry if the suck! I'm not really good with parties!
(Mimi/Roger's apartment)
"I can't believe that you guys are getting married so soon!" Maureen shouted.
She, Joann, Mimi, and Angel were having a sleepover for Angel and Mimi's bachelorette party. The guys opted for going to the local bar. The betrothed couples had decided to go to Vegas to elope. They'd been putting money away for all seven of them to fly out the next day.
"I know! Two days! God I can't wait!" Mimi yelled. She was so excited she was shaking a little.
"Are we done shouting?" Angel asked. He put his hand on Mimi's shoulder, "Calm down. You'll have a heart attack! Besides, the wedding isn't for three days."
Mimi took a few deep breaths and managed to calm herself down a little.
Maureen however was bouncing off the walls.
"You guys want to play truth or dare?" she asked.
(The guys' party)
"Come on! No! Shit," Collins said in defeat. Mark just beat him in foosball and collected his third round of twenty dollars. For an albino camera-geek, the boy had game!
"Hey, want to know what I'm buying with my winnings? A round of Tom Collins!" he said proudly.
"Boy, we have got to teach you some better smack talk!" Collins said as Roger brought the third round of booze.
"Thank God we can walk home," he muttered. No one except Joann owned a car, but at the rate they were drinking at not even a cabbie would be able to understand them.
Collins poured and downed a glass of beer within a minute before turning to Mark.
"One more game, man" Collins said, slurring slightly.
Mark just smiled as his next twenty dollars hit the table.
(Back to the girls! and Angel)
"Okay, Ange, truth or dare?" Mimi asked.
He thought for a minute before deciding truth.
"Hmmm," Mimi sighed. She had a perfect dare in mind! Oh, well! "When did you first sleep with Collins?"
And by sleep, I assume you mean snoring and REM cycles and all that jazz?" he asked sarcastically. He knew Mimi had an issue with a certain word.
"You know what I mean! Fine! Let me rephrase the question. When did you and Collins first have sex?" she whispered the last word.
"But you guys already know when that happened! You visited him in the hospital the next day!
"Joann doesn't know!" Maureen cried.
"You sent him to the hospital?" Joann asked her eyes wide as dinner plates.
(A/N If Joann was there, then use some imaginary whiteout and pretend she wasn't!)
Everyone but Joann collapsed in fits of laughter.
When he'd calmed down, Angel told her the story.
"No, that's not why he was in the hospital. After we had had sex, Collins's father came home and found us. He got pissed and Collins decided he was leaving and I decided I was going with. We had stopped back at my house so I could say goodbye, and when Collins was putting my bags in the car, his father shot him right here," Angel's hand went to his temple where the scar was exactly. He had memorized where it was because whenever Collins asked what he did to deserve Angel, hi hand would fly up to the scar. "Anyway, after he shot his son, Mr. Collins turned the gun on himself, and died. Collins survived miraculously. He always said it was because there was an angel watching over him," he finished, smiling with faint blush creeping up.
"I'm bored!" Maureen said suddenly. "What do you guys want to do? Oh! Let's watch a musical! I'll go make some popcorn!" she jumped up and ran to the kitchen. In less than half a minute they heard the beeping of Maureen controlling the microwave.
"I just bought RENT. I haven't seen it yet either," Mimi said. (A/N :D)
"If you haven't seen it then why'd you buy it?" Joann wondered out loud.
"Because Adam Pascal is gorgeous!" she said, hopping up to put the DVD in. (A/N :D)
(Back to the guys!)
"Whoa!" Mark yelped as he almost fell down the stairs.
"Come on Marky! Last one there sleeps on the ground!" Roger yelled. He was about a flight of stairs behind Mark who was about a flight behind Collins.
"Slow pokes," Collins muttered. He, of course was the first one to the flat and collapsed on his bed. He had made the trip much drunker than he was before! He heard Mark and Roger stumble in about fifteen minutes later.
(The girls! and Angel)
"No day but today!" the final notes of the last song rang out in the dead silent apartment.
Angel, Joann, Maureen, and Mimi were sitting on the couch, jaws hanging open.
Maureen was the first one to speak up. "Oh my God!"
"Yeah," Angel agreed.
"That was creepy," Joann offered.
"How about we don't talk about this, you know, ever again?" Mimi asked as the rest of them nodded.
"I don't know! I think I will call you 'Pookie' now!" Maureen said to her lover, who in return sighed.
"And I really loved the song 'I'll Cover You,'" Angel said.
Mimi just stretched and yawned. "I'm going to sleep. You guys can do whatever you want, just don't burn my apartment down."
"You guys we have a plane to catch, so why don't we all just go to sleep now?" Angel suggested.
Maureen snuggled closer to Joann, who wrapped her arms around her protectively, and everyone mumbled their 'good-nights.'
Good night my readers! I'm very sleepy. It is now 12:01 in the morning! The next chapter is the wedding and Vegas! And Marky will finally get a love interest! I hate having him alone. Poor Marky! Anyway, thank you to those you have read this far! I will get the next chapter up after I write it.
