Chapter twenty Five – This World that I found is too good to be true…
Music blared all around the club as the strobe lights flickered everywhere, including against the three large disco balls that hung in the middle, creating dazzling lighting effects within the club. The Music that was rocking the place was 'Carry out by Timbaland ft. Justin Timberlake' only they were updated version of the current era.
"Here comes the drinks!" John shouted over the crowd as he & Mike placed seven large cocktails glasses - that they were balancing in-between their fingers - down on the semi-circular table that others were sitting down.
"What? But I've asked for a beer." Wyatt said at the sight of Mike & John pushing those large highballed glasses towards Stella & Jack.
In response John gave him a diva look that made Wyatt lightly cringe, while Chris bit his inner cheeks to stop himself from laughing.
"Honey, we all know, you're god damn straight as hell, so you don't need to drink beer to prove it to us that you're the man in the relationship." John said pushing the drink towards Wyatt and Chris. "No offence honey," John added it to Chris, who shook his head in response with small laughter playing on his lips. "So hush and drink up." John said to the blonde as he took seat next to Mike in the semi-circular cushioned cubicle.
"Thanks!" Chris said to John as the flamboyant guy waved his hand in a girlish manner, dismissing the gesture.
"Don't worry about it honey. At least you're thankful unlike your boyfriend there." John replied as Wyatt opened his mouth several times like gold fish, earning a condoling pat on his shoulder from Jack and laughter from the girls.
"Hey I'm thankful." Wyatt said as John turned away from Wyatt in a diva style to speak to Mike – at this Chris had to laugh out loud. "Hey, what are you laughing at?" Wyatt asked with a little pout as Chris shrugged.
"Nothing." Chris replied back with a smile before grabbing his drink to take a sip out of his twisted straw – only to stop when he realised the blonde' eyes was still on him. Quick glance towards his lover revealed the pout Wyatt still wore on his face. "Aww, you're adorable when you pout." Chris said with a teasing smile, earning a grin from the blonde in return.
"And you're uber cute when you tease me." Wyatt said lightly pecking Chris' lips to show his affection.
"Awwww….." John & Daisy cooed from the opposite. "That is so cute." John said as Daisy nodded in agreement.
"You guys make such an adorable couple." Daisy said with a cheeky wink, causing Chris to go red while Wyatt laughed at the comment.
"Aww he's blushing." John said looking towards Chris, who forced a smile as he glanced up at Wyatt – who in returned, wrapped his left arm around the brunette, pulling him close to his body as he kissed Chris' temple.
"Stop teasing him guys," Wyatt said to his friends. "Only I'm allowed to do that." Wyatt teased, earning an elbow to his ribs from the brunette, causing him to groan while other laughed.
"You wish!" Chris retorted back as Wyatt pouted again.
"Don't let that pouting fool you Chris." Stella said to the brunette as the witch nodded in return. "He' uses that pouting to get away with things."
"Yeah I figured." Chris replied back with a smile as Wyatt pulled a mock shocked face.
"I'm hurt. Right here….Knife through the heart." Wyatt said miming the knife into his heart.
"And He's a great actor too." Mike commented as Wyatt shook his head.
"Not to mention, he's can sweet talk anyone into doing anything." John said looking directly at Chris with a sincere nod – exchanging unspoken words between each other.
"Plus he's vainer than anyone you would've ever met in your life." Daisy added in with cheeky grin.
"Hey, you guys are supposed to be my friends." Wyatt said as Stella shrugged taking a sip of her drink.
"So?" Stella asked looking very innocent as she batted her eyelids for the added effect.
"Just because you're our friend, doesn't mean we can't warn the poor soul whose going to be stuck with you for god knows how long about your devious nature." John said waving his hand in the air as he moved his leg to reposition his seating – only his extended leg, tripped a passer-by, sending both her and her drink spiralling into Chris – drenching the brunette's top with her drink. "Oh Shit!" John muttered quickly pulling his leg back in.
"I'm so sorry!" The girl yelped as she pulled away from the brunette, who looked surprised by what just happened, but realising what just happened, he quickly got up to his feet to prevent the cold liquid travelling down into his jeans.
"It's okay." Chris muttered as the Girl looked worried.
"I didn't mean to…" She said turning around to face others, only to trail off. "Oh. My. God!"
"Charlie?" Jack said taken by surprise at the sight of one of the playboy bunny standing before them.
"Charlie!" John Squealed as the Playboy bunny – who got a bunny ears on her head – turned to squeal and air kiss John.
"John, mwah!" Charlie said air kissing everyone, including the girls by leaning over the table, before looking towards Chris. "I'm so sorry, it was a total accident."
"It's alright. No harm done." Chris said with a forced smile.
"Coolio," Charlie said with a grin before turning to face the table.
"I'll be back." The brunette said to the blonde, who gave him a nod in return. Soon as Chris moved away, Charlie took his place next to Wyatt, speaking away to the group. With a final glance at Wyatt, Chris disappeared into the crowd.

Chris cursed the bunny under his breath as he wiped his baby blue shirt with wad of toilet paper, which was offered to him by the man that worked there. Not only was he annoyed by the girl spilling drink on him, but he was also annoyed how easily she took his place – alright, he's getting little jealous again, but he couldn't help it – then again he knew he shouldn't since Wyatt introduced him to all of his mates, which is always an official sign in a relationship to let others know they are with someone serious. Plus Chris can tell they are Wyatt's close friends by the way they interacted with each other, just like he used to do with Bianca and Tom.
"Great, now I miss my friends, who ditched me." Chris thought to himself as he threw the paper into the waste basket before going to dry his hands – too bad they didn't have the old hand dryer, which could've helped Chris dry his top, but with this new hand dryer – people can only dry their hand. It sucks because you have to hold your hand inside the dryer. 'Apparently it's hygienic.' Chris reminded himself, as they have the same one in 'P3'
"Cheers." Chris thanked the guy before entering the far end empty cubicle to empty his bladder – which is bursting with drinks.
Finishing his business, the witch flushed the toilet and turned around – only to be alarmed at the sight of swirling blue orbs taking shape in the cubicle. "Shit!" Chris thought to himself as he backed against the wall, allowing the person to fully form before him – only to be surprised when they did.
"Ryan?"Chris asked blinking several times, trying to understand how the half-Manticore orbed, rather than shimmering.
"Chris, sorry didn't mean to alarm you…" Ryan said taking in his surroundings. "Where are we?"
"Question is what you doing here?" Chris asked as the raven head nervously laughed. "And why do you look like a wax doll?" Chris asked as he took in the flawless look on the Manticore.
"Erm…We have a little problem." Ryan answered as Chris raised his eyebrow.
"Care to elaborate?" Chris asked as Ryan grimaced – using the toilet tissue, he closed the toilet lit before sitting down, allowing Chris to stand before him.
"Okay, do you remember the story you made up when you were young?" Ryan asked throwing the toilet paper away with a repulsed look on his face as Chris stared at him.
"Which one? I made tons up." Chris said folding his arms as he shifted his stance, while Ryan groaned.
"Well the one with the evil Enchantress, gnomes, with me and David in," Ryan said as Chris frowned a little but slowly nodded as he remembered the story.
"Yeah, I remember." Chris said nodding. "What about it?"
"How does it finish?" Ryan asked as Chris looked taken back at the question.
"Okay what does the ending to my story got anything to do with why you look like wax doll?" Chris asked as Ryan rolled his eyes with a groan before unbuttoning his shirt to reveal his chest – at the sight of red circular disc embedded into the Manticore – Chris' eyes widened alarmingly. "Oh crap!"
"Yeah, your bedtime stories are becoming real." Ryan said as Chris looked perplexed.
"That's impossible…H-How?" Chris asked his eyes never leaving the glowing red disc on Ryan's chest.
"Evil Witch encounter, she cast a spell to bring all the demons from the book of shadows to life, but David deflected her spell – but the only problem was, he saved the book of shadows but the spell rebounded into the nearby box and into…"
"My writing book?" Chris said earning a nod from Ryan. For few seconds Chris just stood there unable to comprehend what Ryan just said but then they all slowly sunk in. "Wait, wait, wait…this means…mom & Aunts…"
"Yeah, pillar of marble statues." Ryan replied gloomily.
"Okay….so why do you need to know how my story ends? How is that going to help?" Chris asked the half-Manticore.
"Well David thinks, since if we figure out how the evil enchantress is defeated in your story – in this case the evil Witch, maybe then we can break this spell." Ryan said as Chris nodded. "Only problem is, we realised you never finished that story or at least never wrote the ending to it."
"Err…I can't remember…" Chris said shaking his head as Ryan's looked as if he's going to burst into tears. "Wait…It's a spell."
"A Spell?" Ryan echoed his words as the brunette nodded.
"Yeah, a spell that brings the Enchantress good side from the mirror world," Chris said as Ryan nodded. "That vanquishes her."
"Sounds easy enough." Ryan said as Chris shook his head.
"No, it's not." Chris said with a look of dread on his face. "I made the spell specific so only I knew the spell, any other spell cast by others won't work – well that is how it went in my story, since I'm the hero."
"Well that makes sense…but really, one question! Why did David and I end up with a machine heart?" Ryan asked as Chris nervously laughed with a shrug.
"Well, because you know…you & David were the heart breakers in school, so that's why you two have machine hearts since you can't feel others emotions." Chris said with a shrug.
"But…we can feel emotions; I mean I feel sad, upset…" Ryan said as Chris shook his head.
"You think you do but in reality you can't….well that's how it's in my story." Chris said with a small shrug and a apologising look.
"Wow, way to make us feel better." Ryan said with a shrug.
"Well yeah, I mean…." Chris started only to be interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Chris, is everything okay?" Jack' voice filtered through the door, alarming Chris.
"Oh shit." Chris muttered as Ryan looked from Chris to the door. "Hmm… Yeah I'll be right out, I'm on the phone."
"Okay, take your time." Jack' voice replied back before the sound of his footsteps faded away.
"Shimmer!" Chris whispered as Ryan shook his head.
"I can't…" Ryan said as Chris raised an eyebrow in a threatening manner.
"Why not?"
"Cause I've lost my powers to the enchantress and before you ask – David orbed me here!" Ryan said as Chris groaned. That's right, Ryan loses his powers, and his cousins are turned into gnomes, not to mention, his father & uncles into obedient slaves to the enchantress.
"I can't let him see you with me." Chris said as Ryan frowned at the comment.
"Why not?" Ryan asked as Chris rolled his eyes.
"Because, because….I can't tell you." Chris said as Ryan looked at him.
"Oh, wait! Are you out with Wyatt?" Ryan asked as Chris looked taken back. "Yeah, David filled me with your new boy toy."
"I guess the word secret is a foreign word in our family huh?" Chris said as Ryan nodded solemnly. "Okay, just wait five minutes before coming out, okay?" Chris said as Ryan nodded. "Good."
"Wait!" Ryan called out. "What about the spell?"
"I'm thinking about it…meet me outside." Chris replied with a plastered smile, before turning around to open the door. Taking a quick peek to see if the coast is clear, the witch stepped outside to find Jack was speaking to the guy who works there. "Who knew my writing will come back to bite me in the ass?"Chris mumbled to himself as he quickly made his way towards Jack.
"Hey!" Jack said as Chris smiled at him and washed his hands. "You were in there long, is everything alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, you didn't have to wait." Chris said as Jack shook his head.
"Oh don't worry about it." Jack replied back as Chris dried his hands.
"Ready to go?" Chris asked as Jack nodded, tipping the guy before heading out of the empty bathroom – well that's what the guy who works in the bathroom thought – until Ryan stepped out of the cubicle. Not only was the mortal was stunned by the guy appearing out of his bathroom that he didn't see enter but was also taken back by which cubicle he entered from – since the other guy was in there moments ago.
"Howdy!" Ryan said with a nod before walking out, leaving the stunned guy with his mouth gaping open.
"I'll be damned." The guy muttered when he got his bearings.
#############
Meanwhile out in the Club, where the music is deafening those who enter, while the darkness that surrounds them pierced by flickering lights of rainbow - Jack & Chris made their way through the dancing crowd.
"Chris!" Jack said grabbing the brunette's hand, nodding towards the bar. "Let's head to the bar." The Sandy blonde shouted next to Chris' ear. Chris nodded as he followed Jack to the bar. "Two Rock me Out Crazy." Jack shouted to the bartender over the counter, before turning his attention back on the brunette. "Let's get a drink before we go back."
"Thanks but I've got a drink back there." Chris said nodding in the table direction somewhere beyond the dance floor of people.
"Not anymore. Charlie kinda hijacked it." Jack said with a smile before turning to pay the bartender.
"No, let me get it." Chris shouted over the music as Jack shook his head, pocketing his change from the bartender.
"No, don't be crazy, this one is on me." Jack replied back passing the drink to the brunette before grabbing his one. "Cheers." Both clunked their glasses before taking a sip.
"Shall we go?" Chris asked as Jack nodded – lightly praying deep inside that everyone is back where they supposed to be, otherwise it's going to be disaster and Jack could feel it, deep in his bones.
Like he expected when he and Chris reached the table, there was no sign of Wyatt, Charlie, Mike or Sophie – as they all went for a dance, well Wyatt was dragged away by Charlie & seeing she is part of the playboy bunny collection, they couldn't exactly tell her that Wyatt was taken otherwise that news would've gone to Danielle's ears, then she….well let's just say there won't be any more future invites to the playboy mansion for them – in their places there were four additional playboy bunnies sitting in-between, Stella, Daisy and John, all chatting away, looking very much excited – which Jack figured for the upcoming Playboy Anniversary plus Halloween Bash this weekend.
"Hey Guys!" Jack called out to alert their presence to others, as they took seat next to Stella, with Jack sliding in first before Chris sitting by the edge. "Girls, this is Chris."
"Hey Chris!" The girls chorused all waving and blowing kisses to the amazed brunette.
"So are you straight, gay or bi?" The redhead bunny next to Stella asked Chris - who looked little taken back by the question.
"Hey I feel Soooo offended right now!" John said in his diva voice as other playboy bunnies looked towards their friend.
"Kelly!" The beautiful Asian bunny pouted as Kelly lightly shrugged.
"Sorry but I was just curious. He's hot!" Kelly replied back to her friends. "But you guys know my history with men."
"Yeah, she only falls for the taken, dead or gay guys!" Hazel (the beautiful Asian) informed Chris, who gave a little nod with an expression that said 'Right!'
"Well hate to break it to you Kelly, but he' doesn't swing your way." Jack informed as Kelly's face fell dramatically, while Stella grinned under her breath.
"It's Karma, I tell you." Hazel said to her friend as Kelly nodded with a sniff.
"Don't worry honey; I'm sure you'll find your Mr Perfect soon!" Daisy said to the bunny, who's taking a large sip from her cocktail – only to pull away making a hissing noise as if she took a shot!
"Where is Wyatt?" Chris asked Stella, who glanced at Jack before answering Chris.
"He's just gone for a short dance." Stella said with a careless shrug as if that subject doesn't need importance. "I heard that…" She started to change her subject only the bunnies jumped in the boat.
"I doubt it be a short dance." Hazel said as other bunnies giggled.
"Yeah, we all know Charlie has a major crush with Mr Hunk." Said the Raven head bunny as others nodded.
"Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if she dragged him into an alleyway to have a quickie." Kelly replied back as everyone burst into laughter - well the bunnies anyway – while others looked at Chris with a nervous grin plastered on their faces. Although he was lightly jealous at those words, the witch shook it off with a smile, because he trusts Wyatt and knows that the blonde is not going to mess around with a girl, at least not when he's here with him.
"I'm sure nothing like that will happen." John said with a nervous laugh – only to realise, not only did he put a foot in his mouth but also dug a hole for himself, when the girls began commenting on Wyatt's endurance in bed.
"He's right, Wyatt doesn't do quickies girls," Naomi (raven head) said to her friends. "You know well as I do that he loves to take his time when it comes to bed."
"Man, he's one of the best I've had." Hazel said her voice sounding exhilarated before dropping into disappointment. "Too bad he doesn't do relationships." At this all the girls bit their lips in sadness.
"Guys, enough, we don't wanna know what sexual fantasies you may have of our friend." Stella said to the girls, but Stella' words fell into deaf ears as the girls carried on among each other and with Chris, seeing he swings towards guys.
"But really that guy knows how to rock your world. He made me cum at least four times before I called it quits." Bella the strawberry blonde (the fourth bunny) said as the girls giggled – as others giggled nervously, not by Bella's comment but by the reaction that was going through the brunette's face – which is mostly surprised, shock &…very calm…like the calmness before the storm type.
"Wow…" John said his voice filled with fear. "It's nice to know you all had fun with Wyatt, so how about we talk about something else…the party?"
"I'm planning on to see how many times he can make me orgasm this weekend." Hazel said with a cheeky grin & wink to others as others nodded.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa….W-w-who?" Chris stammered lightly, not realising his voice was shaking…but others certainly have, so Jack jumped in.
"Who cares…" Jack said trying to come across as a snob so the subject would change but it didn't.
"I think someone is jealous here girls." Kelly said as the girls all did an 'Awwww'
"Don't worry Jack, we haven't forgotten you sweetie." Bella said in a sickly sweet voice.
"But we all know Wyatt is so much better at what he does," Naomi said as the buniess nodded while Daisy and Stella rolled their eyes. "He makes you feel so special."
"I think I'm going to get another drink." Chris said to the group before bolting away into the crowd without waiting for a response but in reality he felt sick to his stomach….I mean….his brain wasn't functioning very well as he pushed through the crowd until Jack stopped him.
"Chris…Chris!" Jack called out following Chris through the crowd, stopping the brunette near the stairs. "It's not what you think and before you decide anything, please, please, please just talk to Wyatt before you decide anything cause that guy really likes you." At the pleading face & voice, Chris merely nodded without a thought in response.
