Guys Night Out
Rio arrived at Glenn's house to pick him up. "Okay where are we going?" Glenn asked.
"I don't know play it by ear" Rio said.
"Okay whatever let's go" Glenn responded.
They drove off; unknown to them as they drove off, into Glenn's driveway drove in the Misfits minus Pizzazz.
"Hey Glenn wait up" Stormer screamed "We need to talk to you."
"Dam him" Roxy said "He had to pick tonight to go out, and who was with him?"
Rio and Glenn arrived at a night club, the Gingerrocks.
They sat a table and the waitress took their order.
"I will have Scoch on the rocks" Glenn said.
Rio said "I will have..."
"Wait your driving aren't you" Glenn asked.
"Yeah so"
"I don't want anything to do with people that drink and drive, there is nothing that pisses me off more than a drunk driver. Them bastards shouldn't breath the same air as me, shouldn't be allowed to see the sunlight, they shouldn't…"
"Okay I will have a soda" Rio said. "I didn't know it meant that much to you, besides I was not going to go anywhere near the legal limit."
"It doesn't matter, drinking and driving is drinking and driving, it is a major pet peeve of mine" Glenn said.
"Far enough, what I can't stand more than anything are liars."
"I see, well you didn't have to do this for me by inviting me here" Glenn said.
"I didn't do it for you; I just wanted to get to know you better. Jerrica, Jem, the Holograms seem to think highly of you, and after one day the Starlight Girls adore you" Rio said. "I wanted to see what all the fuse was."
"What can I say; I am very good of getting along with women. Funny thing is this is the first time I can remember ever hanging out with a buddy" Glenn said. "I don't have many male friends, certainly no close male friends. All my life it has been women I hang with" Glenn said.
"That is rough" Rio said.
"No it is not, the time I spent hanging with my sister I loved, I remember the guys in my neighbor who picked on her, I had to beat them up, they didn't want to hang around me after that, and I didn't want to hang around them" Glenn said laughing. "Then there was my neighbor and best friend Phyllis, we had a ball hanging out. She was so much fun, and we made quite a duo. She was the impulsive one I was the brains of the duo."
"Phyllis, you mean Pizzazz?" Rio asked. "I don't see how anyone could have fun with someone like that, nor that band she is in."
"What did you say?" Glenn asked. "You don't know them like I do, so don't judge my friends."
"I know enough about them" Rio said. "They have caused nothing but trouble for my friends."
"Well maybe if your girlfriend didn't insult them without getting to know them" Glenn said getting up from his chair.
"Well maybe if your friends had more manners" Rio said, getting up from his chair.
It appeared Rio and Glenn were going to exchange fists when "Get away from me please I said I don't want to dance with you" a woman said.
"Come on baby" a man said "your mouth says no, but your body says yes."
Rio and Glenn took notice of this, "That punk he is harassing that girl" Glenn said. "I hate these types of people."
"Me too" Rio said. "I am going to do something about it." Rio started to walk towards the man, when Glenn grabbed him by the arm.
"Wait" Glenn said. "You can't just barge into a fight without a plan, think things through, have a plan of execution don't be so impulsive."
"I don't care" Rio said, pulling his arm away from Glenn.
Rio approached that man and said "I believe the lady said no."
"Mind your own business" the man said to Rio.
"I am making it my business" Rio said.
"Fine" the man said "Than it is also their business" pointing to two other men.
"Anyone that messed with Rocco messes with us" one of the two other men said.
"Let's get him" Rocco said to his friends, and the three of them jumped on Rio.
From behind of one of the men, someone grabbed him and punched him, it was Glenn.
"I guess I make it my business as well" Glenn said.
It was now a three on two fight, though outnumbered Rio and Glenn had the advantage. Glenn knocked out with a karate one of Rocco's goons, Rio knocked out the other goon with a punch, leaving Glenn and Rio two on one against Rocco, who then off. Rio and Glenn than grabbed the two knocked out goons, and throw them out of the club. The witnesses than gave them a standing ovation.
"Thank you" the girl who was being harassed by Rocco said.
"No need to thank us, Rio here is the real hero" Glenn said, being modest and sick of hero worship. It was now Rio's turn as far as he is concerned.
"Like he said, it was nothing" Rio said.
Just than the owner of the club appeared, "I saw you had a fight in my club" she said.
"Yes there was, I assume you want us to leave" Glenn said.
"Actually I want to thank you for finally getting rid of those jerks, they have been causing trouble here for a while" the club owner said.
"We were glad to help" Rio said.
"Anyway I am sorry to hear what happened to the Tinsel Town Glenn" the club owner said.
"Yeah I know Kelly, lucky the damage wasn't too severe however until I can guarantee the safety of my customers it will remain close." Glenn said.
"I hope it opens soon Glenn" Kelly said. "It would be quite a lost."
"I hope so too" Glenn said.
"Thanks for your help and enjoy the rest of your evening" Kelly said.
"Thanks Kelly, you too" Glenn responded, as Kelly exited the scene.
"Wait you know the club owner" Rio asked.
"I know her I know a lot of the other club owners, we kind of have an unofficial club. We watch each other's back" Glenn responded.
"I never knew that, I thought you guys were all competitors and hated each other."
"We are competitors, but we all love what we do, we love music and we love clubs that showcase it."
"I see" Rio responded.
As the night progressed talked about various things about each other, "So that is the story" Rio said.
"I see so you are in love with both Jem and Jerrica" Glenn said. "That is a messed up love life."
"So that is how Eric took control of the Misfits" Rio said.
"Yeah, but is more of me giving him control of the Misfits, than him taking it" Glenn responded.
"Well that is Minx for you" Glenn said. "When I meet her, she flirted with me, I flirted back and in few minutes she saw another man and flirted with him. That was your mistake, you just let her have her way she will have her conquest and move on."
"I can't, I have my pride" Rio responded.
"But how about that Riot" Glenn asked.
"Yeah mister pretty boy with his mind games, I can't stand him" Rio said.
"Me either, I owe him a punch in the face" Glenn said.
"Really well I punched him once, it felt great" Rio said.
"You are so lucky" Glenn responded.
"You come from a good family?" Rio asked.
"Yeah I guess so, why do you ask" Glenn responded.
"I can tell by your mannerism, very much Jerrica, she came from a good family, her dad was a great man."
"You look up to him" Glenn said. "Sounds like you don't look up to your dad."
"My dad was nothing but a drunk, I don't know even think I can call him a dad" Rio said.
"I am sorry to hear that, I am lucky I got along great with my family, my dad was a good man, he never hit me or my sister, my mother did her best to raise us, and my sister was just an angel. We were all so close."
"Were so close" Rio asked.
"Well things changed after my sister died." Glenn said sadly looking over his locket. "Before she died, we used to tell each other everything, and confided in each other. There was nothing I was afraid to tell my parents about. But after Karen died, I isolated from my parents, I felt I shouldn't bother them with any problems of mine which I felt were trivial, we still talked to each other, but it was never the way we used to talk to each other before she died."
"I understand" Rio said.
"You know I envy you" Glenn said "you so freely express how you feel at the moment, like when we encounter those punks eariler. Sometimes I wish I was more forceful."
"Well I was going to say the samthing about you" Rio responded. "I wish I could control my temper, it often gets me into trouble."
"Maybe we can learn from each other, anyway it is getting late, I better get home" Glenn said.
Rio drove Glenn home, when they got there, Stormer Roxy, and Jetta were watching across the street, "Finally he's back" Jetta said.
"Let's go talk to him" Roxy said.
Glenn said to Rio "Thank you for the evening Rio, I surprising had a good time, we should do this again sometime."
"Well goodnight" Rio said. Glenn exited the car, Rio than drove off.
Glenn headed towards his door, while the Misfits crossed the street towards his house. Glenn got out his key to enter his room when suddenly, out of the bushes popped out a man.
"You are coming with me" the man said to Glenn.
"I don't think so" Glenn said, Glenn than punched the man in his face. Behind Glenn another man appeared about to attack him, but Glenn saw him and started to engage him in a fist fight, however the first man at this point got up and hit Glenn from behind, knocking him down the two men than attacked Glenn while he was down, until Glenn was knocked out.
While this was going on, the Misfits saw this and Stormer screamed "Glenn!" Roxy and Jetta quickly covered Stormer's mouth, not wanting those men to notice them. Stormer wanted to rush towards Glenn and help him. Roxy and Jetta forcefully grabbed her and looked for a place to hide.
"Sorry Stormer" Roxy said "but there is nothing we can do for him now, besides be captured alongside him, than what good will we be to him?"
The men grabbed Glenn and throw him into their van parked down the block, where a third man was already at the driver seat, they then drove off.
"Okay let's go" Roxy said, the three Misfits got in their car and followed the van that Glenn was in.
