"Come on Rose,"
"No." Rosalina answered stubbornly.
"Please?" Cati and Lianna looked at her imploringly.
"Besides, where's the harm? Its just a little night of fun!"
"Yeah, and you never have fun! Not since you found out about the tour." Lianna added.
"Well sorry if I'm not cheering about the fact I get to spend one or two months on tour with my ex-band!"
"Come on Rose! Plus, I think Jared will be there." Cati wiggled her eyes suggestively. Sighing loudly, Rosalina turned on the two girls.
"Fine." She raised her voice over their squealing. "But on one condition."
"Anything."
"Stop calling me Rose!" Lianna and Cati laughed.
"Sure, whatever. Trust us girl, you're gonna have the time of your life!"
"Right. I'll meet you at-"
"My house, 8:00 sharp."
"Kay," The two girls left Rosalina to figure out what she was going to wear.

As the three girls pulled into the driveway, they met the two other members of their band.
"Hey Maya, Lisa." Rosalina greeted.
"Hey! Didn't think you were comin." Lisa smiled. "Its good that you're here though."
"I'm not so sure about that," Rosalina muttered under her breath.
"Sure it is girl!" Maya conceded. "Just some harmless fun, right?" The door opened, and a guy came outside.
"You comin inside or what Lisa! They got some of the good stuff!" Lisa, ignoring the protest of Maya, ran inside.
"That girl's gonna get wasted tonight Cati." The other three nodded silently.
"Well come on Rosalina, you don't have to smoke, or drink for that matter, but we don't know how long the party'll last. Come on!" Cati pulled her inside. The music became considerably louder, and Rosalina looked for a familiar face.
"Hey baby," She felt an arm wrap around her waist and was about to scream until she saw it was Jared.
"Scared much?" She could feel his warm breath on her neck. Disentangling herself, she answered blushing slightly.
"No, I wasn't."
"Did Cati drag you here? I don't remember you saying you were into this stuff, actually the opposite." He smiled cockily.
"Oh shut up! And yes, I did get dragged here." She picked her way across the room, delivering hugs and smiles when necessary. She reached the wall, leaning against it. Jared leaned against the wall next to her. They chatted for a while, and every time Cati or Lianna looked over, Rosalina was smiling and laughing.
"Its good for her, you know." Maya danced up to Cati and Lianna.
"Yeah, I thought we'd never get her here though," Lianna added.
"Well she's here, and she's having a bit of harmless fun." Cati nodded toward Jared. "At least, I'm pretty sure its harmless." Maya raised her eyebrows, looking at Jared also.
"She'll be fine guys! Have some of your own fun!" Lisa sidled up to the three girls, hiccuping.
"And how much have you drank Lisa?" Cati eyed the glass in her hand.
"Not much." She hiccuped again. "But you should have some fun! Rosalina will be fine!" They all nodded in a agreement with Lisa.
"Your eyes, are so pretty."
"They're brown Jared."
"Exactly." He wrapped his arms around her, and this time, Rosalina didn't pull away.
"So what has the band been doing lately?"
"You know, booked a tour with my ex-band. Actually, Cati did that." Jared tensed.
"You mean he's-"
"Yeah, Nat will be there." Rosalina forced a smile. "Jealous much?"
"A bit." Jared admitted.
"Its only for a month or two Jared."
"I know." He laid his head on hers. She smiled, and leaned into him.
"Let's dance." She said abruptly.
"Hm?"
"Dance. Come on Jared. I love this song." Rosalina pulled him toward the dance floor. They swayed back and forth, and danced to the five other songs that followed. The songs became slower and slower, until they were the only ones on the dance floor. As the song ended, Rosalina looked up at Jared. They were dancing really close. Their stance reminded Rosalina of one thing, and it was her last boyfriend. Without a second thought, she titled her head slightly and kissed Jared. Rosalina pulled back, breathless, when she heard someone wolf whistle. Out of breath, she looked at Jared, blushing. No one gave her weird looks, like some might have, in her other 'life.' But to Cati, Lianna, Lisa, Maya, and even Jared, drinks, kisses, and everything else; it was all fun to them. Harmless fun. She kissed him once more, his lips meeting hers. And they were right. Right now, at a party in her new life, a new boyfriend, it was all just a little harmless fun.
So I'm not sure how well this chapter went, but I think all in all it went pretty well. R&R please!
