Chapter 17 (Role Play: The Tests)
"Ah, it is the two fallen angels," the demon said while cackling. "I am Jonah Brown, the right hand demon to my master!" Valerie gasped and Sam's eyes grew wide in fear. Sam had to shrug off her fear and begin the talk with this scary demon.
"Who is your master? Is he scary?" Sam asked as she swallowed slowly.
"You're in hell, do the math." Suddenly the door slammed shut and a deep and maniacal voice filled the room. Jonah clapped his hands once and grinned darkly. "It is the master!" Sam and Valerie gasped and looked at where the door had been. There stood Freddie in devil's clothing. "Master Freddie, the fallen ones have arrived!"
"Wonderful, Jonah," Freddie said as he stepped off of the stairs. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Sam. Smoothly he walked to her and gazed into her eyes, causing her to freeze.
"W-What will you do?" Sam asked with a quiet whimper. Freddie smirked and placed his hand underneath Sam's chin, keeping his eyes narrow.
"I have heard of you, Miss Puckett! You have been a bad angel, and that is an oxymoron if I've ever heard one…You must be punished. Can you survive hell?" She quickly shook her head in protest, she wasn't a bad angel. At least, she never wanted to be.
"Yes, can you survive hell?" Jonah repeated. Freddie smoothly glared at him and he quickly looked down with shame. "Sorry Master. I will not repeat what you say, Master." Freddie sighed and looked back toward the two angels.
"You must not give in to the temptations of hell, if you desire to make it back to heaven. We are here to train you with these." Freddie walked over to a table and grabbed a red blanket, he quickly pulled it off, revealing a large bowl of chocolates and various other gourmet sweets. "The vile sin of gluttony, can you overcome this?"
"That's easy!" Valerie said in a quick voice. "We don't have to grab at it, we'll just sit here and stare…at the delicious…tasty…" Valerie moaned and whimpered. Jonah and Freddie smirked as the girls eyed the chocolate. It was a very tempting item to them.
"Come on, you're girls, you deserve all the chocolate in the world," Jonah stated, trying to tempt them. They didn't need temptation from the demon, it only made things harder. Somehow, they had to resist, and Valerie looked like she was going to fall to it. Sam closed her eyes and placed a hand on Valerie's shoulder. Valerie looked at Sam with wide eyes.
"Get a hold of yourself, take a look in a mirror," Sam said in a quiet voice. "Gluttony will turn you into a monster. We were sent here because we have fallen to the temptation. I want to make it to heaven with you, not without you." Valerie sighed and looked toward the ground, ashamed that she had nearly fallen to the temptation. She probably would have if Sam hadn't been there. Sam stood firm and stared at Freddie in the eye. "You cannot tempt us with chocolate!" Freddie narrowed his eyes and smirked.
"Fine then," Freddie responded while walking over to another red sheet that appeared to be over a box. "Let's try the task of the great sloth!" Freddie pulled a red sheet off of a nearby television, revealing a great comedy show. "It's either you watch this, or…" Jonah laughed and pulled a red sheet from another table. "You answer ten multiple choice questions on your earthly homework assignments!" Sam laughed and crossed her arms, Valerie merely raised her eyebrow.
"Easy, we'll…" Sam looked at the television and over at the papers, moaning in frustration. On earth, this was her guilty pleasure. Well, that was actually chocolate and Freddie, but that was beside the point, she hated homework. Valerie saw how Sam was about to fall and scoffed as she placed her hands on Sam's arms and quickly shook her back to reality.
"This is temptation in its finest!" Valerie said in a quick voice. "Get a hold of yourself or we'll never get back to heaven! We must complete our homework first, and then we can relax and watch television!" Sam moaned and nodded, there was no other choice. Freddie clenched his fists as the girls walked toward the homework. "You can't defeat us that easily, Master Benson."
"Fine, we will up the stakes to another of your cardinal sins! Greed!" Freddie exclaimed while grinning darkly. Freddie walked over to another table and pulled up a small cloth, revealing seven chocolate covered strawberries. Both of the girls loved chocolate strawberries. The girls eyed the delicious delights and moaned with frustration. They immediately rushed over to the strawberries and counted them repeatedly.
"There are seven of them, how will we ever split the last one!" Sam and Valerie looked at each other and whimpered, suspecting what they would have to do for that seventh strawberry. Freddie clasped his hands together and grinned, his eyes dancing with delight at the thought that the girls would fall.
"It's simple; one of you will just have to take the last one for yourself while not looking. After all, you are but greedy little devils." Sam blinked and raised her eyebrow, she didn't want to do that to her friend.
"No," Sam responded. Valerie and Sam both closed their eyes and stood up straight. "We do not want any of them. Rather, give them to the ones who have never tasted of them." Freddie's jaw dropped and Jonah merely grumbled in frustration.
"You cannot be serious!" Sam opened her eyes and narrowed them, glaring into Freddie's wide ones.
"Give them to the ones who have nothing." Freddie growled and turned around, trying to think of the next test.
"Fine!" Jonah grumbled and Freddie rubbed his chin. "I'm sure you could withstand the test of wrath…but perhaps not."
"The test of wrath!" Jonah exclaimed. "Then we shall test them. What will you do when the cheerleader comes up to you and takes your seat? Will you push her out or shall you simply move on?" This was a tough one, since he knew Sam would probably push the cheerleader out of her seat.
"I would…" Sam started but Valerie quickly covered her mouth.
"Let me answer this one," Valerie said while chuckling nervously. Jonah and Freddie raised their eyebrows and Sam rolled her eyes. "We would let her have the chair. She deserves it, most likely. After all, have you seen the routines cheerleaders have to do? I'm sure they need to sit down sometimes!" Sam quickly nodded her head in agreement, not wanting to argue with logic. Jonah grumbled and looked toward Freddie.
"They've passed yet another test, Master."
"I'm well aware of that, Jonah," Freddie said through clenched teeth. "How about the test of Envy."
"I'd rather not do that one at this time," Sam said honestly. "For I still have memories of my best friend kissing my boyfriend. It is hard to not feel jealous about it, but at the same time, I know that my earthly boyfriend loved me."
"Hmm…So you wouldn't be jealous of your best friend?" Sam shrugged and crossed her arms over.
"Why should I be? I know that if I wasn't already with him, I would let Carly have him. Yet, since he is already with me, she can't have him. In turn, I wish to find another man that is suitable for her, so maybe she can move on and be happy." Freddie rubbed his chin and shifted his eyes toward Jonah, he was merely staring in slight shock.
"Do you say we give them that one, Master?" Jonah asked with a quiet voice.
"Yeah, we may as well." Sam smirked and Freddie crossed his arms over, considering what the next test would be.
"You two would most likely pass the test of pride, but let's see how well you fare against the final test." Freddie narrowed his eyes and smirked. Sam and Valerie gasped but soon narrowed their eyes, ready for the final one. "The test of lust."
"Now is that one fair?" Valerie asked while looking at Sam. Sam shrugged and looked toward the smirking men.
"Will you give in to your cardinal desires?" The boys crossed their arms and the girls folded their arms over as well. They were well prepared for this, since they had been thinking of this test since the start.
"No," Sam replied. "I care not how hard you tempt me, I will not give in." She smirked and Valerie nodded her head in agreement.
"Are you positive?" Freddie raised his eyebrow and Sam held his gaze. "After all, do we know the roadblocks and the barriers? Do we know where to end it before it gets too far?" It appeared that this was now more than just a mere role play game, this became a question of life.
"What do you mean? Are you asking if we are to have no self control?"
"Simply Sam, in every relationship you have…there is always temptation to overstep those boundaries and go too far. There needs to be a stopping point." Sam nodded and Valerie decided to step in.
"But any moment that gets too heated, you should be able to stop," Valerie said in a quick voice.
"What if you can't stop the heat?" Jonah asked as he lowered his arms to the side, pondering the question. "What if the heat becomes too unbearable that you overstep the barrier?"
"In every relationship, both parties must know when it gets too far," Freddie said in a quiet voice. "So, do we know when we would go too far?"
"Isn't self control about making decisions?" Sam asked while raising her eyebrow. "Right now, more than anything, I want to kiss you. However, that's when I ask myself…should I do it? Since I know that if I were to do it, it would be tempting to go further…especially given the lust that comes from the costumes we're all wearing."
"Precisely. That costume you're wearing, I'll admit it makes you look extremely cute-" Sam smirked and tilted her head slightly. The demon costumes were a tight red shirt with red shorts that went slightly past the knees. Both accentuated to the boys' muscles.
"Thanks." The type of angel costumes found were the only ones at the store. It had the front going up to cover the front area, but there were no sleeves or straps. The back was gone as well. The dress part of it flowed slightly past the knees, as well.
"Personally, it makes the hormonal teenager in me want to press you up against that wall and start stripping you of that costume." Sam, Valerie, and Jonah had to agree that their hormones made them want to do the same thing with their mates.
"But the better side of us says not to do it," Jonah said while looking over at Valerie. The others gave a brief nod and Jonah crossed his arms back over. "The more mature side of us knows that it would be far too pleasurable."
"A mere game could turn dangerous without self control," Valerie replied. "With self control, we won't give in to the cardinal sin of lust and we can grow in a mature relationship."
"So we all agree that we want to make out with each other," Sam said while blinking. "However, doing so would be far too pleasurable, given the circumstances. After all, we know we're alone in the house and we're just two young…hormonally shot couples."
"What I'd keep in mind," Freddie said while leaning against a wall and rubbing his chin. "Though the body may give the signals, you always should follow your values, beliefs and emotions. If you know you don't want to do something, and you know you shouldn't, then don't do it."
"Yeah, and we're all friends here," Valerie replied while nodding. "So, we all know the goal is to abstain…if someone feels pressured or anything, it might be good to talk about it with each other." The others nodded and Valerie let out a sigh. "The good thing we know is none of us will use that stupid line of: 'You'd do it, if you loved me.'"
"I think everyone here knows that what we have is love," Sam replied. "You don't need to have sex in order to determine if you love someone. So as for what we're going to have, what is that?"
"Self control, don't give in," All four said simultaneously. Freddie smiled and stood straight, the game was back on.
"How can this be?" Freddie asked in a slightly angered voice. "You have passed all of the tests."
"It cannot be true, Master," Jonah said while rubbing his head in frustration. "It has been centuries since a fallen angel has passed all of the tests."
"Damn it!" Freddie sighed and slowly stood up, staring into the newly changed angels. "You are free to go, you have…it pains me to say this, you have survived my domain!"
"Of course, we would probably have fallen a long time ago if we didn't help each other," Sam said while draping her arm over her friend's shoulders. With that, everyone laughed and joined in a group hug, the role play was over.
"That was great! We have to do that again!" Sam said in a quick voice. She looked over at Freddie and smirked suggestively. "You know Freddie, I think that bad boy fits you." Freddie smirked and quickly kissed her lips.
"Yeah, well I'd say the Angel fits you pretty well too." Sam chuckled and Valerie patted their backs.
"Whatever you guys, we're done," Valerie said while grinning and turning toward the stairs. She stopped and glanced back at the others. "Anyway, who's up for pie!"
"Sweet!" With that, everyone ran out of the basement and into the kitchen, knowing the pie was in the refrigerator. They figured they would have the pie first, change into proper clothes after that, and finally just rest for the rest of the day.
Well, that's the end of the role play, I hope you liked it. Stick around for the next chapter. Review and I won't let this horde of monkeys run all over the place and vie for world domination!
