Chapter 12:
Soon it was Friday, which meant that it was time for the Vanders' housewarming party. It didn't take long for Jun Lin to have everything set up for the party. There were appetizers set up for people to snack on while they got to know each other. Soon it was 6:30 and everyone was dressed ready for their guest to show up.
"You know, I hardly wear a dress unless I'm going to church or at a dance.", Elyon said as she looked down at her purple dress that went down to her knees.
"Same here.", Cassidy said looking down at her red dress that was the same as Elyon's. "But I think Drake and Aldern are having more trouble adjusting to their clothes.", she said which got both girls giggling before they went up to the boys.
Drake and Aldern, like Angelo, were dressed in a pair of black dress pants and shoes with a white long-sleeve dress shirt and black tie.
"You guys okay?", Elyon asked.
"I've been better.", Drake said. "How do men move around in these clothes during a fight?"
"Well for starters, these clothes are not for fighting in.", Elyon said a she adjusted Drake's tie. "They're for formal affairs like the one we're having.
"It's the tie that truly get me.", Aldern replied.
"You'll get use to them.", Cassidy said as she helped him adjust his tie. "Besides. I think you look quite handsome dressed like this.", she said with a smile making Aldern blush a bit. "You may look cute as an African-American, but to be honest, I'd like to see you in your true skin.", she said with a wink making Aldern smile a bit.
"Okay, everyone!", Jun Lin said getting everyone's attention. "The guest are coming! So get ready!"
"Just relax and and be calm and everything will be go okay.", John said standing next to his fiancé.
While John and his father, Joe, were dressed in a black suit, Jun was dressed in a red chinese dress that went down to her ankles and had a slit going up to her right knee and Kadma was dressed in her purple gown.
"We're ready as we'll ever be.", Angelo said as people started coming into the house.
Soon, the house was full of talking people who were getting to know John and Jun Lin. Among the people was Riddle who was keeping an eye out for who he needed to find and read their minds.
'They have to be here somewhere.', he thought to himself.
It was then that he spotted who he was looking for. Kadma and Joe Vanders and Yan Lin.
'There you are!', Riddle thought to himself as he made his way towards Yan Lin.
As for Yan Lin, she was talking with Kadma and Halior while drinking some tea.
"I must say, Yan Lin, that no one makes a great thing of tea like you do.", Halinor said before sipping some tea.
"What can i say? It's a talent.", the former Air Guardian said with a smile. "So how is it having all of these kids living here, Kadma?"
"It's fine.", Kadma said with a smile. "It feels good to have a house full of life."
"So how does it feel to soon becoming sisters?", Halinor asked her two friends with a grin.
"Come now, Halinor.", Kadma said. All of us have been like sister for a very long time now.", she said with a smile.
"Even so, it does feel nice to have it be official.", Yan Lin said.
"I'll say this.", Kadma said. "Jun looks more and more like you did in your youth than anything, Yannie.", she replied with a grin.
"She even has her hair like you had it.", Halinor replied.
"I know.", Yan Lin said with a proud smile. "One day when she was a about sixteen, she was looking through one of my old photo albums and liked how I had my hair back then and decided to have hers done the same way."
"She pulls it off well.", Halinor replied as Riddle came up to the table the three of the were sitting at. "Hello, Sir."
"Hello, Madam. Ladies.", Riddle said with a kind smile. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Richard Riddle."
"Ah, yes! You work with my son and his friends Donald and Hanna.", Kadma said as they shook hands.
"Indeed.", Riddle said. "And may I say that your son and friends have done some wonderful work to benefit others. You should be proud, Mrs. Vanders."
"Believe me, I am.", Kadma said with a smile as Riddle's watch began to beep.
"Looks like time really does fly.", Riddle said. "I'm sorry, ladies, but it seems that I have an appointment to go to. It was a pleasure meeting you. I hope to see you tomorrow at the Robertson's housewarming party."
"We shall be there.", Yan Lin said.
"Then until tomorrow.", Riddle said with a bow before leaving.
"What a nice man.", Halinor said.
"He does seem nice.", Yan Lin replied. "Now before he came by, I was going to ask when the Oracle was going to bring our two newest Guardians into the fold."
"I've wondered the same thing.", Kadma said.
"Sooner than you think.", Halinor replied. "Sooner than you think."
"It's this weekend isn't it?", Kadma questioned surprising Halinor.
"Why must you ruin the surprise?", Halinor asked giving Kadma a bored look.
"Cause I can read you like a book sometimes.", the former Earth Guardian said with a smirk before the three of them began to giggle which soon turned into laughter.
Elsewhere at the party, Susan Vandom and Anna Lair were sitting together discussing what their daughters did.
"I still can't believe Will went and did it.", Susan said before eating some cheese and crackers.
"What can I say? Irma has that effect on some people.", Anna replied before sipping some tea. "She's done some pranks in her day, but this one crossed the line."
"I'm just glad that Cornelia is okay.", Susan said.
"You and me both.", Anna said. "Do you know that when I called Elizabeth to see if Cornelia was alright, she told me that Cornelia didn't want to press charges?"
"Well, that explains why the police haven't come for Will.", Susan said happy that her daughter wasn't going to jail anytime soon.
"Yeah, and don't tell Tom I said this, but there's a part of me that wishes Irma could spend a day in jail.", Anna said surprising Susan. "I know it sounds bad but that girl needs to learn that you can't do something like this and hope that you father, the cop, can get you out of it."
"There's a part of me that feels the same about Will.", Susan replied. "Ever since she got with that Caleb boy, she's been acting a bit different."
"That, Susan, is known as hormones.", Anna said with a grin.
"Well, for the next three months the only time they'll be seeing each other is during school.", Susan replied not knowing what her daughter has done for the last few days.
"Don't forget tomorrow.", Anna replied with a grin.
"I still can't believe that you two are going to do that to your daughters."
Both Anna and Susan turned to see Elizabeth Hale sitting next to them.
"Hey.", Susan and Anna said softly hoping Elizabeth wasn't mad at them.
"Oh stop!", Elizabeth said with a smile. "I'm not mad. A bit upset at what happened, but not mad. Your daughters didn't mean to hurt Cornelia and she's not to angry at them so what's done is done. Besides. From what Cornelia tells me, she and Will had this fight over a boy a year ago."
"Even so, it's still wrong!", Susan said. "Which is why she got the punishment she has now."
"Remind me not to get on your badside.", Elizabeth said before the three of them giggled.
In another part of the party were Tom Lair and Harold Hale who were talking about what had happened.
"I really am sorry, Harold.", Tom said. "I just don't know where I went wrong with Irma."
"Don't worry about it, Tom.", Harold said. "What's done is done. Besides. Remember the pranks we use to pull back in our youth?"
"Yeah!", Tom said with a grin. "But even we had our limits."
"True.", Harold said. "The worse we did was put itching powder in the school bully's underwear while he was taking a shower during gym.", he replied getting a laugh out of Tom.
"Those were fun times.", Tom said. "But what Irma did was wrong! That's why me, Anna, and Susan agreed to the punishment we gave them."
"Including what you have planned for them tomorrow?", Harold asked with a raised eyebrow.
"We feel that if they get a few cold shoulders, both girls will think twice before they pull something like this again.", Tom explained.
"You do have a point there.", Harold said in agreement. "No one likes to get the cold shoulder from people they know."
"You can say that again.", Tom said as some people came up to mingle.
As the party was going on, Riddle was in the back of his Sedan getting driven to Hallens' penthouse. Once there, he saw that Hollens was sitting in his chair watching TV.
"Hello, Riddle.", Hollens said as Riddle sat in a chair. "How was the party?"
"Very imformative.", Riddle said with a serious look. "I read the mind of one Yan Lin and learn quite a lot."
"What did you find out?", Hollens asked knowing something was up.
"That there are eight Guardians along with the allies they have!", Riddle began to explain surprising Hollens.
"Eight Guardians?", Hollens questioned.
"Yes!", Riddle said. "But one of them won't be for long."
"What do you mean?", Hollens questioned.
"Turns out that Cornelia Hale is one of them.", Riddle explained. "But after the prank that Will Vandom and Irma Lair pulled on her sent her to the hospital, she decided to quit being a Guardian."
"Is that so?, Hollens questioned with a smirk.
"And it turns out that the first five Guardians were all female.", Riddle replied. "They were Will Vandom, Irma Lair, Taranee Cook, Cornelia Hale, and Hay Lin."
"So what happened?", Hollens asked.
"Turns out that a former Guardian, who went rogue used some mind control power to turn Cornelia on Will and a fight happened.", Riddle explained.
"And let me guess. Cornelia got the boot and that Caleb boy took her place.", Hollens figured.
"Yes. But then the truth was found out and Cornelia along with two girls named Alchemy and Cassidy were made Guardians with the powers the rouge Guardian, named Nerissa created.", Riddle continued to explain.
"And now the one known as Cornelia is giving it all up?", Hollens questioned getting a nod from Riddle. "Hmmmm... I wonder if she will really give it up."
"You don't think she will?", Riddle asked.
"If her friends can talk her out of it she won't.", Hollens replied.
"Should we try and find a way for her to give it up?", Riddle questioned.
"No.", Hollens said. "Whether she gives up being a Guardian or not matters not to me. Eight or twelve, they will all go down in the end!"
"Actually, two more will be joining their group.", Riddle replied.
"Figures.", Hollens said. "No matter. Like I said, they all will go down in the end. One way or another, they all will go down.", he said as a plan was forming in his mind.
The next day was Saturday which meant that the pool party was on. It didn't take long for Angelo to have it all set up seeing as he had help from Selece, Micheal, Cassidy, Alchemy, Cornelia, Elyon, Drake, Aldern, Matt, Nigel, Eric, Taranee, and Hay Lin. By the time it was Noon, they had everything set up for the party. There was a metal tub full of ice and cans of soda, juice, and tea as well as bottles of water. A grill was set up to cook some food in. Food that Angelo's Grandpa Joe offered to cook for the kids that were coming. Next to the grill was a table were the cooked food would be set on with covers to cover the food. The pool was full of water and the triple Slip 'n' Slide was up and ready to go as well.
"Wow!", Hay Lin said looking up at the beginning of the slide which started ten feet up and continued for thirty feet ending with a small ramp sending whoever took it into a small wading pool of water. "I know you said it was tall, but WOW!"
"Yeah. It's awesome!", Angelo said. "One more thing. When you use the slide, go feet first."
"Why feet first?", Nigel asked.
"It doesn't end well going face first.", Selece replied. "Trust me, you don't want to know."
"That bad?", Cassidy questioned.
"That bad.", Angelo, Selece, and Micheal said together before the sound of fellow teenagers was getting closer.
"Sounds like our guest are coming.", Angelo said. "It's party time, people!"
About a half an hour later guest had arrived and were having a good time! Some kids were in the pool swimming around or floating around in inflatable pool rings, while some were playing some volleyball in another part of the yard. But what most were doing was sliding down te slip 'n' slide. You would start it by climbing a ten foot ladder that had bails of hay stacked up on its side and front to keep it stable. At the top, you'd sit on top of the ladder which the first yellow slip 'n' slide was attached to and slide down it feet first along with the water that was running down it from the hose. You'd then slide down the slip 'n' slide which is connected to two others for one heck of a ride that end at a small ramp send you into a small wading pool full of water. It was something Angelo saw on the internet a few months ago and decided to make it. Only he was able to make it so two people could slide down it side by side if they wanted to. And now, it's a hit with his guest!
"That slide is wicked!", Nigel said as he sat in one of the lawn chairs there. "Where did you come up with the idea for that thing?"
"Internet.", Angelo said. "I saw something like it online and decided to do the same thing only make it a bit more safe.", he explained as everyone watched Hay Lin, who was in a yellow one-piece swimsuit, go down the slide.
"Woooooooo-Hooooooooo!", Hay Lin yelled as she flew down the slide and landed in the wading pool.
"I think she likes it.", Cassidy said as they watched Hay Lin got out of the wadding pool.
"And then some.", Cornelia said with a grin.
"That was so cool!", Hay Lin said as she walked up to the others. "I'm going again!"
"Easy, Hay Lin!", Taranee said with a grin. "You've already been on the slide three times! Take a break and get something to eat."
"Yeah!", Angelo said. "Grandpa Joe has made plenty of burgers and hot dogs for everyone to eat. The slide isn't going anywhere. Besides. When the party is over, you can still use it a bit longer.", he said making Hay Lin smile before she went with Eric to get something to eat.
"So when are you going to take the slide again?", Micheal asked Cornelia.
"Later.", Cornelia said. "It is fun, but me and water don't get along to well."
"Say what now?", Selece asked.
"She can't swim.", Alchemy replied.
"Now way!", Angelo said.
"You're kidding me!", Selece said.
"Nope.", Elyon said. "She can ice skate like a pro but our Cornelia does not like swimming."
"Thank you for embarrassing me.", Cornelia sarcastically said to her two best friends.
"You're welcome.", Alchemy and Elyon said smiling which got Cornelia smiling as well.
"If you'd like, I can give you a swimming lesson or two.", Micheal offered.
"Many have tried.", Cornelia replied. "But in the end, I just don't like getting in the deep end."
"We'll see.", Micheal said with a smile.
"Not to ruin the mood, but anyone notice how Caleb has been sulking since he got here?", Matt questioned.
"That's because, he just found out that he'll be staying here from now on.", Drake said with a grin.
"When did that happen?", Alchemy asked.
"Well, the Lin's decided to redecorate the basement of the Silver Dragon and they can't do it with Caleb staying there.", Angelo explained. "So, Hay Lin's grandmother asked my grandparents and uncle if Caleb could stay with us. They, of course, said yes."
"And he's upset about that.", Matt figured.
"Well, that and Uncle John told him that he has to be in the house by 9:00 P.M. from now on or he'll be locked outside.", Angelo replied getting a laugh out of the others.
Now in the front yard of the Vanders home, the Lairs pulled up in their car while the Vandoms pulled up in theirs. Out of the cars stepped Irma and Will, who did not want to be there.
"Come on, Mom and Dad! Please don't make me do this!", Irma pleaded with her parents.
"Sorry, Irma. But you brought this on yourself.", Anna said. "Maybe next time, you'll think before you do what you did."
"Fine!", Irma said giving in as she grabbed her bag that she had some things she may need.
"No behave while you're here.", Tom said to his daughter. "We'll call you when we're on our way to get you. So keep your cell phone on."
"Yes, Sir.", Irma said.
"And Irma.", Anna said to her daughter. "Have fun!", she said with a smile.
"Ha. Ha. Very funny.", Irma said as her parents drove off.
As for Will...
"Please, Mom! I don't want to do this!", Will begged her mother. "I said I'm sorry!"
"Good.", Susan said. "Now you can tell Cornelia that you're sorry when you see her at the party."
"What kind of mother does this to her daughter?", Will questioned as she grabbed her bag that had things she might need.
"The kind the wants her daughter to learn a lesson.", Susan said. "Now you will wait here for me after the party is over. Do you understand?"
"Yes.", Will said.
"Good.", Susan said. "Now go have fun. Cause after today, you won't be going out anywhere for a long time.", she said before driving off with the Lairs.
"I can't believe we have to do this!", Will shouted as Irma walked up to her.
"Well at least we're in this together.", Irma said as she wrapped an arm around Will's shoulder. "Plus, we have our boyfriends here with us."
"That's about all we have here on our side.", Will said as they made their way to the backyard of the Vanders home. "All of the others have sided with Cornelia!"
"Forget them!", Irma said. "We'll be okay!", she said as they stepped in to backyard only for Irma to almost trip over th cord of the stereo unplugging it.
Once that happened, everyone turned to see both Will and Irma. And from the looks they were getting they felt like a couple of deer caught in a thing of headlights.
"Ummmmmmm... Oops.", Irma said as she plugged the stereo back in. "My bad, people!"
"I can't believe they came here!", they overheard a girl say.
"That's pretty gutsy after what they did!", they overheard a boy say as Caleb and Matt came walking up to them.
"Hey.", Caleb said to Will.
"Hey.", Will said before they shared a kiss.
"How you holding up?", Matt asked Irma before they shared a kiss.
"I've been better.", Irma said as they walked past the pool to where the others were hanging out. "Where are we going?"
"To the others.", Matt said.
"Oh heck no!", Irma said. "No way I'm hanging with them!"
"Oh heck yes!", Matt said. "Look! Me and the band are playing soon. So either you try and make up with Cornelia or you, Will, and Caleb will end up in a corner of the backyard alone."
"Then alone it is.", Irma said.
'You've got to be kidding me!', came Alchemy's voice telepathiclly. 'You still are going to be like this, Irma?'
Will, Caleb, and Irma looked over at the group to see the Guardians looking at them.
'Back off, Alchemy!', Will demanded as she along with Caleb and Irma made their way to a tree where no one was standing.
'Haven't you two learned anything?', Alchemy questioned. 'Bad enough you drove Cornelia to quit! But you two aren't even going to say your sorry for putting her in the hospital! You two are a piece of work!'
'Geez! We're sorry we put you in the hospital, Corny.', Irma said.
'If you're so sorry, then say it out loud in front of everyone here.', Cornelia said. 'And don't call me Corny!'
'You're lucky you're getting this apology.', Caleb said as he glared at Cornelia. 'After what you did to Will...'
'Shut up, Caleb!', Taranee, Hay Lin, Cassidy, and Alchemy snapped at Caleb.
'I'm so tired of you three bringing that up!', Taranee said. 'We all feel bad about that happening. We really do, Will. But, the more you keep bringing it up the longer it'll take for you heal on the inside.', she said which got to Will.
'Maybe you're right, Taranee.', Will said. 'But it's not something that you can just forget.'
'We're not say that you forget it, Will.', Hay Lin said. 'We just want you to remember that it was all Nerissa's doing to break us up. For all we know, she could have had me or Irma go after you.'
'Hey!', Irma yelled. 'Not cool, Hay Lin!'
'Well, she right.', Cassidy said. 'It could have happened.'
'Whatever!', Irma said. 'What I want to know is, when are you going to the Oracle to give up being a Guardian, Corny? I mean, Cornelia.'
'Can't wait to get rid of me, huh?', Cornelia questioned. 'If you must know, it'll be after the party. I'm guessing you three will want to be there when it happens.'
'DUH!', Irma said.
'Whatever.', Cornelia said before Taranee cut the link to go see Wreck 55 play.
"I can't believe my mom made me come here!", Will said as every once in a while she and Irma got a dirty look from someone there.
"It could be worse.", Caleb said. "People could be throwing food at you two."
"He has a point.", Irma said as they heard the music from Wreck 55 playing. "Oh! The guys are performing!", she said as they got a bit closer to hear the music yet couldn't get through the group of teens that had gathered around to listen to Wreck 55. "Hey! Make room people! Girlfriend of the lead singer here!"
It was then that some of the students turned to give Irma, Will, and Caleb a look that said they were not in the mood for their attitude.
"Or... we could enjoy the music from back here.", Will said as the three of them backed away slowly before the teens went back to listening to the music of Wreck 55.
"Man that was close!", Caleb said glad a fight didn't break out.
"You're telling me.", Irma said. "I know that some students were mad at us, but geez!"
"I'm afraid to think about what it's going to be like on Monday.", Will said.
"We could always do our little AD trick.", Irma said with a smirk.
"And end up dealing with Elyon again?", Will questioned with a raised eyebrow. "I don't think so."
"Then Monday is going to be a FUN day.", Irma said sarcastically before turning to listen to her boyfriend sing.
Everyone there was enjoying the performance of Wreck 55 as they played their songs. And a lot of girls were impressed to see Selece playing the drums. After they played their songs, Angelo turned the stereo back on as folks went to enjoying the party. As for Will and Irma they noticed that a lot of people were enjoying the slide that Angelo and the others had set up.
"Is that even safe?", Irma questioned.
"See for yourself.", Matt said. "Hay Lin has been on it a few times."
"Now I know I got to go on it!", Irma said as she took off her shorts, shirt, and sandals to reveal a red strapless bikini. "You like?", she asked her boyfriend with a wink.
"Yes. Yes, I do.", Matt said with a smile.
"Come on Will! It'll be fun!", Irma said as she made her way to the line for the slide.
"Sure. Why not?", Will said as she stripped off her clothes to reveal a light blue strapless bikini with a smiling frog's face on the back of the bikini bottom. "Be right back.", she said before giving Caleb a quick kiss making him smile.
"I'll be waiting.", he said.
As they stood in line for the slide, they saw Angelo walking down the line saying something to the people.
"What is he saying?", Irma asked.
"Don't know.", Will said as Angelo got closer.
"Remember to go feet first!", Angelo said. "Do not, I repeat, DO NOT go head first with your arms forward! It won't end well!"
"What'll happen?", Will asked.
"You don't want to know.", Angelo said to Will. "Glad you could make it. Even though this is part of your punishment."
"Thanks.", Will said with a small smile that Angelo returned.
"So, have you talked to Cornelia yet?", Angelo asked.
"Nope.", Will and Irma said.
"You need to.", Angelo said. "You may feel better after you do."
"Fat chance!", Irma said as she and Will moved forward with the line.
"Suit yourselves.", Angelo said. "It would have made a nice story for the school paper."
"Speaking of which, why was Bess Grumper asking me and Irma questions for the paper?", Will questioned. "Last I checked, she was working for the radio show."
"Don't tell me that it fell apart only a few days without me!", Irma said.
"No one told you yet, huh?", Angelo asked.
"Told me what?", Irma questioned.
"Well, due to my experience with the school paper at my old school, Knickerbocker has me running not only the school paper but the radio show.", Angelo explained.
"Say what?!", Irma questioned.
"Yep!", Angelo said. "And one of the stories we're having was what people think of my pool party seeing as we have a good amount of the student body."
"Knickerbocker let you run my baby?", Irma questioned still surprised by the news.
"Last I check, the radio show was the school's baby.", Angelo said. "It was your actions that got you kicked off of it.", he said earning a scowl from Irma. "You may be mad now, but I hope that a trip on the slide will lighten your mood.", he said before going to get something to eat.
"I can't believe that Knickerbocker replaced me that quick!", Irma complained.
"Maybe if you ask real nicely, she'll let you back on the show.", Will suggested.
"That or I could use some mind-control to get my job back.", Irma whispered with a smirk.
"No mind-control, Irma!", Will whispered to Irma. "People will ask questions."
"Fine!", Irma said. "I'll ask real nicely.", she said as they got closer to the slide.
As for Angelo, he was getting a burger when he saw Selece standing by the table drinking a can of tea.
"You guys performed great today.", Angelo said getting Selece's attention.
"Thanks!", Selece said with a smile. "I was a bit nervous, at first, but once I started playing it was nothing to it."
"I'm glad.", Angelo said. "So how are gymnastics tryouts?"
"There are a lot of girls trying out for the girls' team.", Selece replied. "Some already got cut. But I think that me and Alchemy got a very good chance of making the team. She's really good!"
"Well, I hope that you two make the team.", Angelo said making Selece smile a bit.
Just then Angelo looked as the slide to see both Will and Irma standing at the top of the slide. He then saw them get in the position in which they'd slide down the slide head first with their arms facing forward!
"You've got to be kidding me!", Angelo said as Selece looked in the same direction he was looking.
"Oh, that's not good!", Selece said as the both of them put what they had, in their hands, on the table and headed towards the slide to stop Will and Irma from making a big mistake.
"What are they doing?", Cornelia questioned.
"About to go down the slide the wrong way.", Taranee said.
"But Angelo said not to go down that way.", Hay Lin said.
"And there's a good reason!", Micheal said before turning his attention to Will and Irma. "Will! Irma! Don't go down that way! You won't like what happens!"
"Yeah right!", Irma said. "What's the worse that can happen?"
"You really don't want to know!", Micheal shouted as Angelo and Selece got to the slide.
"Micheal's right, you two!", Angelo shouted. "You don't want to do this!"
"To late!", Will said with a smile as she and Irma went down the slide head first with their arms forward.
"What's the worse that can happen to them?", Cassidy asked.
"Well, with the force from them sliding along the water on the slide with those strapless bikinis... Let's just say that everyone here might be seeing a whole lot more of those two.". Selece explained.
"I don't get it.", Hay Lin said before Micheal pointed to the path of the slide. "Uh-oh!"
"No way!", Cassidy said as she saw what Micheal was pointing to.
"Those aren't what I think they are.", Taranee said. "Are they?"
"Yep.", Micheal said as everyone looked towards the wading pool where Will and Irma had landed after flying off the ramp.
"This won't end well.", Alchemy said as she pulled out her cell phone ready to take a picture.
"Alchemy!", Cornelia said surprised at what her friend was about to do.
"What? After all the crap they put you through, they deserve this!", Alchemy replied. "I'm just taking a pic to show them whenever they annoy me or or start giving any of us a hard time."
"Good point.", Cornelia said as she pulled out her cell phone along with Elyon.
"Woo-Hoo!", Irma shouted victoriously as she and Will stood up in the wading pool with their arms in the air as a lot of teens there were taking their picture with either their cell phones or cameras. "That's right folks! Take all the pics you want!", she said as some of the guys were giving them whistles and cat calls followed by laughing girls.
Will and Irma then looked towards Caleb and Matt to see that their mouths were hanging open.
"What's their problem?", Will questioned before she felt a draft. "What the heck?", she questioned as she and Irma looked down at themselves. "Oh my...!", she began to say when she saw that she and Irma were now bare butt naked!
Both girls let out a ear-piercing scream as they covered themselves as best they could and took off towards the backdoor of Vanders' home and headed inside with Caleb and Matt right behind them. Needless to say that all those with cell phones and cameras were taking pics of the girls as they ran for it.
"I'm to old for this kind of stuff.", Joe Vanders said as he went back to cooking food on the grill. "Angelo!"
"On it!", Angelo said as he went up to the slide path and grabbed the girls' bikinis and headed for his house to give them to them. "Never let it be said that I throw a dull party.", Angelo said as he entered his home.
A/N: Well, it looks like Hollens, and Riddle have plans for our heroes! Not to mention they know about there being two more Guardians coming into the group. And then there's what just happened to Will and Irma. Talk about what comes around goes around! They humiliate Cornelia and they get humiliated at the party. You've got to admit it's pretty funny. The next chapter is where things start to change for the better. But the real question remains. Will Cornelia quit being a Guardian, or will her friends be able to talk her out of it?
Please review.
