Chapter Four: Elyon's Treat-N-Trick
As the party continued on, everyone there was having a great time. There were people dancing while others were watching the scary movies that were playing on the TVs there. And the food was being eaten. As for Elyon, while she was having a great time with Caleb she was also keeping an eye on the special plate of brownies she made that had a glamour over them that only she, the Guardians, and Angelo could see. But for the life of her, Angelo and the girls hadn't got any of them yet.
'What's the deal?', she thought to herself as she danced with Caleb. 'I've seen them eat cookies, chips, and sandwiches! Are they on a brownie strike or what!? Get a brownie already!'
"You having a good time?", Caleb asked Elyon getting her attention.
"Yeah.", Elyon said with a smile as they walked over to a couch that was near the table of food. "Why do you ask?"
"Well, I couldn't find you for a while and figured that you had left.", Caleb explained.
"Oh that.", Elyon said with a grin. "I just needed some air after what happened earlier between the guys and their Ex's."
"Yeah. That was something alright.", Caleb said. "I never thought that Angelo was that kind of guy."
"Me neither.", Elyon said. "I guess college can bring out the freak in anybody."
"Well from the way I see it, he's a jerk with a harem.", Caleb said.
"I wouldn't go that far.", Elyon said. "Being friends with benefits is way different than a harem."
"How so?", Caleb questioned.
"Well, for one, if one of the girls meets somebody and wants to date them, then she won't be a friend with benefits with Angelo.", Elyon explained. "And if Angelo finds a girl he wants to dat, then the whole friends with benefits is over."
"Hmmmm...", Caleb said thinking about it. "I guess it is different than a harem.", he said as he looked to see Drake walking up to them with Alchemy while holding hands.
"Care to explain, Drake?", Elyon asked once she saw Drake and Alchemy holding hands.
"Elyon. Caleb. I know this is sudden, but we can't keep it hidden any longer.", Drake said. "Alchemy and I have been seeing each other for a while and finally got together last month."
"I see.", Elyon said before looking at Alchemy.
"I know that you have a problem with Alchemy after what happened months ago.", Drake said. "But, I developed feelings for her and hope that we can all come to an understanding."
"We don't have the problem.", Caleb said. "She's the one who sided with Cornelia in what happened."
"That's because what you two did was wrong!", Alchemy said standing her ground. "And you both know it!"
"I'll be the first to admit that what Caleb and I did was wrong.", Elyon said. "But it would have been nice to have you on my side."
"And say that I was okay with what you did?", Alchemy questioned. "No way! You, me, and Cornelia have been best friends for a long time, Elyon. And I'll be the first to admit that Cornelia has some faults."
"Some?", Caleb questioned with a smirk. "Try a bunch."
"As I was saying. Cornelia may have some faults, but you're the one who had little disregard for our friendship when you and Caleb did what you did.", Alchemy said. "If it were the other way around and Cornelia stool your boyfriend, then I'd be there to give you comfort while chewing out Cornelia."
"Pretty bold seeing as you're here trying to get our consent to be with Drake.", Caleb said.
"I'm not here for your conceit.", Alchemy said surprising Caleb and Elyon. "Drake and I just decided to tell you about us seeing as Drake is one of your best friends.", she said to Caleb.
"You may not like that we're together, but that won't stop me from being with her.", Drake said to Elyon and Caleb.
"Is that so?", Elyon questioned with a look that was more of a warning to Drake about who he was talking to.
"Yes.", Drake said proudly surprising his two friends. "I've cared for Alchemy for a long time. Even during high school. And now that we're together, I want to see how far this goes. No matter what it cost me. I'm sorry, but that's how I feel. Now we're off to enjoy the rest of the party. I hope you two can find it within yourselves to try and get along with Alchemy.", he said before he and Alchemy turned to go party with the other people there leaving a stunned Elyon and Caleb.
"I think he's serious.", Caleb said.
"We'll see about that.", Elyon said when she saw Taranee get six sodas from one of the coolers and head back to the couch where the others were followed by Hay Lin who grabbed the plate of brownies.
'Finally!', Elyon thought to herself with a smirk. 'It'll take a while before the potions kick in. But once they do, the six of them will have one heck of a wake up call in the morning!', she thought as she got to her feet.
"Come on.", Elyon said to Caleb. "Let's go enjoy the party.", believing she had achieved what she wanted to do.
Caleb simply nodded asn got up and walked out and began to dance together. As they were doing this, Elyon couldn't help but smile to herself thinking of how clever she was in her little plan. Meanwhile, Hay Lin and Taranee had returned to the others with the sodas and brownies.
"Where did the brownies come from?", Angelo asked as he closed the curtain to the area they were in.
"Don't know.", Hay Lin said. "I just saw them and figured we could share them."
"You sure they're not drugged?", Irma asked. "I remember dad telling me about how weed can be cooked with brownies."
"Let me check.", Cornelia said as she took the plate of brownie. "If there's any weed in here, I'll know.", she said as she used her powers to sense any plant life in the brownies only to find none. "They're clean."
"Then give me a brownie!", Irma said as she took one and began to eat it.
Soon, each of them got one and ate it leaving none left. as they drank their sodas.
"Now those were some good brownies.", Will said as she licked some frosting off her fingers. "But why were there only six of them?"
"Maybe more were brought and got eaten.", Cornelia said. "I wonder who brought them here."
"Well, I remember the sub place saying something about adding a little something to the sub platters I ordered.", Angelo said. "I guess the brownies were it."
"Don't see me complaining.", Irma said as she leaned back on the couch. "A little chocolate can go a long way. Which is why I plan on going to the stores and get me some discount candy.", she said with a smile.
"You're not the only one.", Cornelia said. "I'll be getting me some variety packs."
"I'll be getting what I can get.", Angelo said. "The day after Halloween is one of the best days to get cheap candy."
"There's also the day after Christmas, Easter, and Valentine's Day.", Taranee said getting nods from the others. "Which is why I'll be out there gating candy as well tomorrow."
"Same here.", Hay Lin said.
"Let's be honest and say that all of us will be out there getting cheap candy tomorrow.", Will said to which everybody nodded.
"But for now, I say we party!", Cornelia said.
"Yeah!", everybody said as they got up from the couch and went to go dance among the crowd.
As the party went on, Angelo made time to dance with each of the girls as well as a few other single girls that were there. As this was going on, Elyon kept her eyes on Angelo and the girls wondering when the potions were going to kick in and remembered that they also drank some sodas and figured that it would be a bit longer before the potions kicked in. Which meant that her plan would have to wait a while.
'Oh well.', Elyon thought to herself. 'Not all plans go as planned.', she said as she continued to dance with Caleb. 'But soon, things will get really interesting.'
As for Wreck 55, they couldn't help but be envious of Angelo as he danced with their ex-girlfriends.
"I still can't believe this is going on!", Nigel said as he ate some chips. "Our ex-girlfriends and Angelo!"
"Well believe it.", Joel said. "I mean yes, we picked our career over them. But, geez! Did they have to go and do this!?"
"Don't they see how this makes them look!?", Eric questioned. "They look like..."
"Sluts.", Matt said as he narrowed his eyes at Angelo as he was dancing with Cornelia who was really working it.
"I hate to say it, but you're right.", Nigel said. "Being in college has really changed Taranee."
"Hay Lin, too.", Eric said. "She was never like this."
"Same with Will.", Matt said.
"Even Irma had her limits.", Joel said. "At least I thought she did."
"If you ask me, I think being around Cornelia has changed them a bit.", Elyon said as she came walking up to them with Caleb.
"She has a point.", Caleb said. "I mean, why do you think I had an affair with Elyon? The girl was quick to show off her assets. If you know what I mean."
"Actually, I don't remember Cornelia being like that.", Eric said. "I mean she knew how to dress for dances and all, but other than that, she dressed pretty normal."
"Very true.", Nigel said.
"Maybe so, but she knew how to work what she had.", Elyon said. "I wouldn't be to surprised if she was the first of the girls to be F.W.B. with Angelo."
"Nor would I.", Matt said. "Either way, we have to get the girls back, guys!"
"Dang straight!", Nigel said.
"And when we do, the first thing we'll do is end their friendship with Cornelia and Angelo.", Joel said.
"They may be upset about it, but it'll be for their own good.", Eric said getting nods from the guys.
"No.", Matt said surprising the guys. "We just need Angelo out of the way. We won't be able to end their friendship with Cornelia no matter what we try.", he said knowing of the girls' strong friendship.
"Fine.", Nigel said. "But I still say we make sure Cornelia knows her place."
"And how do you plan on doing that when we'll be in LA?", Eric questioned.
"How about you do something to humiliate Cornelia before you leave.", Elyon suggested. "The other girls may not like it, but you'll get the message across to Cornelia."
"Works for me.", Matt said with a smirk. "And I know just how to humiliate her."
As the party went on, Drake and Alchemy were having a great time together and were quite happy to of told Elyon and Caleb about their relationship. But deep in the back of his mind, Drake knew that he would soon be having a talk with his queen. And it just may cost him something dearly. So after Alchemy left to go to the bathroom, Drake sought out Elyon so they could talk and hopefully come to an understanding.
"Hello, Drake.", Elyon said to her loyal warrior as she Drake, and Caleb stood in a part of the party where no one could hear them. "That was a rather bold thing you did earlier."
"More like treason if you ask me.", Caleb said.
"Now, now, Caleb.", Elyon said. "If it were you in his place, you'd do the same thing."
"But it wasn't me.", Caleb said as she stepped up to Drake. "You know how Elyon feels about Alchemy. And you go and be with her behind her back!? What is wrong with you!?"
"You have the nerve to question my actions, old friend?", Drake asked Caleb. "Why don't you ask yourself the same question. You could of simply ended your relationship with Cornelia when you saw you had feelings for another. But you didn't. You thought you could have your cake and eat it, too. So don't jump down my throat for what I did, cause it pales in comparison to what you've done!"
Caleb said nothing for he knew that Drake was right. When he was seeing Elyon behind Cornelia's back, he figured that he could be with both girls untl Cornelia found out and broke up with him. But now, there's a part of him that wishes he had just ended things with her on a better note. They would probably be friends now.
"And with all due respect, Your Majesty, you were just as wrong for what you did as well.", Drake said to Elyon. "You, Cornelia, and Alchemy were once the best of friends. But now, things are different. You and Caleb's actions ended a wonderful friendship that Alchemy and Cornelia miss."
"If that's the case then why don't they come to me?", Elyon questioned.
"Because it was you who did the wrong.", Drake said.
"How dare you say something like that to your queen!?", Caleb snapped at Drake. "If we were back on Metamorr, you'd be in a cell right now!"
"Enough, Caleb.", Elyon said as she stepped up to Drake. "I respect you for what you said Drake. As one of my trusted knights, it is your duty to tell me when I could be wrong about something. And I'll admit that I may have been wrong about the way I did Alchemy. I'll give you that."
"Thank you.", Drake said glad that Elyon was coming to her senses.
"But when it comes to Cornelia, I believe I had every right to go after Caleb.", Elyon said. "He and Cornelia are from different worlds. And I mean that in more ways than one. It stinks how things turned out, but I'm glad to have Caleb all to myself. And maybe one day Cornelia and i will be friends again. But for now, we're not. And I can live with that. As for Alchemy, I will try and make amends with her tomorrow."
"If that is how you feel.", Drake said.
"It is.", Elyon said.
"Very well then.", Drake said. "I shall speak of the matter no more. But I do hope you change your mind about Cornelia before it is to late.", he said before going off to find Alchemy.
"Forget about what he said.", Caleb said to Elyon as he held her hand. "We do not need Cornelia in our lives right now. Matter fact, it can be a very long time before we ever become friends with her."
"Thanks.", Elyon said with a smile that Caleb returned.
"And what you suggested to Matt and the guys was quite interesting.", Caleb said. "Humiliate Cornelia. This will be fun to see."
"Oh yes.", Elyon said with a smirk. "Quite fun indeed. I only wish I knew what Matt had in mind."
"We'll just have to trust his judgement and see what happens.", Caleb said as they went to get something to eat.
Hours later, after some good partying, it was time to bring the Halloween Bash to an end. So once the music was cut off and the TVs turned off...
"Okay, folks! It's been fun, but the party is over.", Angelo said with a microphone in his hand. "You don't have to go home, but you have to get the heck outta here!", he said getting a laugh out of most of the party guest. "Thanks for coming, everybody! And goodnight!"
It took a while but everyone left the party the way they came glad they had a good time. Heck! Some even left with some food that were there. Once everyone was gone, Angelo and the Guardians were glad that there was no more food on the table which meant that they didn't have to clean up until the next day. So after checking the whole building for anyone who wasn't suppose tp be in there, thanks to Taranee's telepathy, Angelo locked the main doors to the building and the doors to the second floor. He, along the girls headed up to the fourth floor and decided to hit the sack.
"Well, ladies, it's been fun.", Angelo said as he stood at the door to his apartment.
"Heck yeah it was!", Irma said.
"We have to do this again, next year!", Hay Lin said.
"As long as Uncle John gives me the okay.", Angelo said. "But right now, I'm heading for bed. Goodnight."
"Goodnight.", the girls said as Angelo and Will headed into their apartment.
Once in his apart, Angelo took off his sleeveless fake fur coat and tossed it on his couch and headed for the bathroom while Will headed for her bedroom. Once Angelo was done handling his business, he washed his hands and headed for his bedroom to get some sleep. But on his way to his bedroom, he saw a trail of clothes littering the floor.
"What the heck?", he questioned as he saw that the clothes were the costumes the girls were wearing along with their underwear and bras that led to his bedroom door. "No way!", he said as he stood at his bedroom door.
Angelo slowly opened the door to see...
Hours later...
"Aw, man.", Angelo said as he slowly woke up and tried to sit up only to feel a weight holding him down. "What the heck!?", he said as he looked to see Will on his right and Taranee on his left holding onto him. "Oh snap!", he whispered in surprise.
It was then he saw that it wasn't just Will and Taranee with him in his bed. Also there, at his feet were Irma, Hay Lin and Cornelia. But the most shocking part about all of this was the fact that all six of them were butt naked.
"Okay, Angelo. Be cool. You have to be ready when the girls wake up and freak out about all of this.", Angelo said to himself as he tried to snake his way out of Will and Taranee's embrace only for them to snuggle up closer to him with smiles on their faces. "Oh come on!", Angelo said to himself. "But then again... Maybe I should take a mental picture of all of this. I may never get a chance like this again.", he said to himself with a small smirk as he looked around at all of the girls. "I don't know how this happened, but I'm not complaining to much.", he said to himself as he suddenly felt Taranee stir a little. "Uh-oh!"
Angelo looked at Taranee to see her slowly open her eyes while yawning. But once she saw that she was in bed with Angelo her eyes got wide.
"Angelo!?", she questioned in confusion as she sat up.
"Now, Taranee. I need you to calm down for a minute before you overreact.", Angelo said as he was about to snake his way out of Will embrace and sit up.
"Why are you and Will naked? Why are the other girls naked?", Taranee asked before she looked down at herself. "Why am I naked!?"
"I have no idea.", Angelo said. "All I remember is heading to my room, after the party. After that, everything is a blur. How about you?"
"I... I remember you going in your apartment and then...", Taranee said. "That's it. That's all I remember.", she said as the other girls slowly began to wake up and see that they were in their birthday suits.
"What the...!?", Cornelia questioned. "What's going on here!?"
"Why am I in you bedroom, naked!?", Will questioned as she looked around for her clothes. "And where our my clothes?", she said as she covered herself.
"Where are all of out clothes?", Hay Lin asked doing the same.
"Angelo! You got some explaining to do!", Irma said in a Latino voice as she and the other girls eyed him.
"Oh boy.", Angelo said with a sigh knowing this may not end well.
A/N: Well it looks like Elyon's little plan has worked. The girls and Angelo ended up in bed together and don't know what happened. What happened after the party? Will the girls and Angelo find out? And if they do, what will they do. And will it affect their friendship in a good way or bad way? And what does Matt have planned for Cornelia? And how bad will it be? Things just got interesting folks! Keep reading on to find out!
