The wedding (part 2)

The table that I sat at was large, on it was a white cover, with black detailing. Spotted around, infront of the table that I sat, was multiple other tables, all accommodating my guests. Every place at every table had an elegant glass of bubbly.
I sat by Alex and Natalie. The rest of the table was filled by the bridesmaids, they babbled on about nonsense as the room bustled.

Ting Ting Ting 

Natalie put down the glass and the spoon, satisfied that the rooms attention was on her. She stood up, all eyes were on her. Undeterred by the many eyes on her she began to speak.

" We are all here for my bestfriend's wedding" She cleared her throat " But as far as I am aware, this particular relationship arrangement, also makes her my daughter-in-law" She smiled " I am never going to get used to saying that, I must admit" She sat down, it was much shorter than I expected, but then, what more could she say?

I was the first to stand up, clapping, followed shortly by the rest of the room.

" Ehem" growled Skye. She room was still clapping " EHEM!" She yelled, with little success. I noticed her and tried to hush Alex. " ALL RIGHT BICHES LISTEN UP!"

She room, unsurprisingly fell silent.

Skye looked quite happy with herself. I have to admit, it was unnerving seeing her above all of these people, like some sort of evil mastermind. " It may come as a shock to you" She said sarcastically " But I am also a friend of Electra's, In fact it was actually me who shipped her over to America and housed her in the first place" The crowd was still silent, I think in fear " No need to thank me, but I am the one who made Electra the lean-mean-reproductive machine she is"

I looked up at her, standing there in confidence. Her speech flowed out of her mouth and swallowed the room as it went on.

When I first met Electra, we went out drinking. And I remember thinking, 'Boy. She's actually trying to beat me here.' But she didn't. And she didn't the second time, or the third. And we had some crazy shenanigans those days. But there is one thing she did beat me at.  You see, Electra got married first.  That's why you're all stood here. And as the one that gave her away, I would like to offer her my deepest, most heartfelt congratulations and wishes for a good future. And a full summary of her entire honeymoon


The room was stunned into silence. " WELL CLAP PEOPLE!" She yelled. The crowd jumped up obediently and clapped like there was no tomorrow. She looked at me and mouthed 'the crowd loves me' I winked 'sure they do' I mouthed back.

Shortly after Skye had sit down, and after a fair gulp of Champagne I stood up. The sound of the chair sliding across the grass was loud " Right guys" The guests slowly quietened " We'll be going on to the dancing in just a second"

Skye stood up, the crowd jumped back " First dance time!" I was beginning to wonder exactly how much she had drunk already...
The people burst into life again, making their way to the dance floor. Alex and I stood up shortly after the crowd had moved on

" You ready?" He took my hand, and walked me to the dance area

I smiled " Allow me to apologize in advance for standing on your toes"

He leaned in close, I could feel his warm breath on my neck " You'll do fantastic, you're my little humming bird"

" Lets get this over with" We both made our way to the middle of the floor. I turned to look at Becks, who was sat by the stereo. I nodded to her, to sign that I was ready. Placing my hand gently onto Alex's waist I looked up at him.
The music began to flow around the room. I had chosen the song, it took me forever to pick. I was never known to know what to play music wise, I admitted now, that the song that I had chosen was an uncreative choice. But it was something that meant something to Alex and I, and it was the only one that felt right, this moment would stay with me forever... I was under pressure to make no mistakes. Your song- Elton John.
Alex began to sway slightly, my feet reflected his in every movement, I leaned my head on his chest, I felt warmth beneath his suit, it felt good on my cool cheeks. I heard his heart beating calmly; then I wondered if he could hear my heart: How fast it was beating, how unsettled it was, if he could sense the love I felt for him. I stumbled over his foot slightly, I jumped up, looking around, nobody seemed to have noticed. Despite this, I still fixed my eyes on my feet, being sure not to make another mistake.
" Relax" Whispered Alex softly

I took a breath out and kissed him, my timing was with perfect for the end of the song.
The crowd roared with clapping

" I love you" Whispered Alex

" I love you too"

Skye and Paisley bounced forward " OUR TURN!" They ran onto the dance floor and began dancing together, closely followed by everybody else. The songs flicked about, all manner of music played.
Becks and I had spent hours choosing the tunes for this moment, but it seemed now that perhaps, we had put just a little too much Disney songs in there.. Hell, what am I saying? You can NEVER have too many Disney songs.
We danced the night away.
All of this dancing did, however, make me rather peckish. This made me come to the decision that it was high time that we served the food.
But first we had to cut the cake, much to Chloe's delight it was lemon cake, which, apparently she liked very much. Along with the rest of the guests apparently, because it was gone in just a minute.

Alex and I took the opportunity, while the girls were stuffing their faces, to make our escape.

We arrived home to find Arthur at the door.
" Where were you?" I asked him " you disappeared before the dance!" I smiled " You would have loved it"

" Yeh.." He sighed

" What's wrong?" Alex said, his voice lined with concern

Arty shook his head " Nothing" He rubbed his neck " Also.. Your dog is ill, he keeps on being sick.. And is trying to eat people" Arthur walked away silently, just as Mofussa appeared.

" Hey little buddy" I bent down to give him a scratch on the chin, he licked my hand " You okay?" He looked a little bit different. Maybe it was just him getting used to the new house, he isn't used to it after all.

" C'mon" Alex grabbed my hand " Lets go upstairs"

Alex took his clothes off, smiling bashfully at me. " Give me some love Mrs. Windfield"

I walked toward him " Yes Mr. Danton"

He shook his head and grabbed me by the waist.
We explored eachother, caressing everything that we now shared, it was amazing.

The Wedding (part 1)

This is the story of my wedding. I, Electra Danton of England, am getting married today. My life started 19 years ago, in an Ordinary home, with ordinary parents.
Brought up in an orthodox Jewish family with strict orthodox parents. Religion did not teach me morals, or even right from wrong: it taught me that to be different is false. My so called family claimed that my actions were a mere abnormality. I recalled the many times when they pretended not to be related to me. I pretended that it didn't bother me, but it did, it wrenched my heart out every time. In school we were taught that love is unconditional; that was the biggest lie of my life, not once did my parents say that they loved me- or even implied it. I was their shame and their burden. I became friends with some other kids from troubled families, they all listened to me and understood me. They even talked me out of it when I got to the very edge. My mother of course ruined all of that. She claimed that they were 'the wrong crowd' and that it was their fault for my 'promiscuity' and 'rebellion' But it is always important to remember the good times in life. My brother- wait no, more that that- My twin. My childhood would have been much different if it weren't for that little guy. In primary school I always stood up for him, the first to defend him when his motor mouth got him into trouble. I made sure nothing hurt my brother. We were inseparable. At home we would play tig, much to my mothers disgust, trailing mud through the kitchen. When we started high school it all changed though. Suddenly it was I that needed the help, Kevin seemed to have fit in well, I however found it hard to make friends. It took a year to be approached by Susana and another month for Arthur. But when we became friends there was no stopping us. All of those times we had to run faster than eachother whilst running from the police. We thought that we were invincible. But after Susana got arrested the first time, we realized just how wrong we were. We toned the crime down to shop lifting, vandalism and other low-key crimes. I realize now how stupid we all were. We were however better than many teenagers of our age though. I had before witnessed my classmates being stoned or drunk; I ofcourse took that opportunity to rob from the hammered and vulnerable. I remembered when I got pregnant, when it all changed, at the time I thought that it would destroy my life... But it actually saved it. Yes it got me kicked out, yes it made my family ashamed, but Sarah was the one who rescued me. Without her I wouldn't be doing this challenge, have my soon-to-be-husband, or my precious bestfriend Natalie.

DING DONG

A loud thudding at the door " C'mon Lecci!" Screamed Natalie " It's your wedding day!"

I heard the others giggling in excitement in the background.

I stood up quickly, the excitement and adrenaline setting in. I opened the door, being met by a head-on cuddle from Chloe " I love weddings!" She squealed.

I smiled back at her, she seemed so happy. I felt so happy. I was going to get married! Marriage doesn't happen everyday you know-
I'm not Henry the eighth afterall.

I gestured that they enter with a wide swoop of the hand.
One by one they came in and sat on the sofa.
I watched the back of their heads as I walked back into the living room. Becks turned her purple head to face me.

" Is it not social protocol to offer us a hot beverage?" She laughed, extracting a snigger from Skye

I shook my head and tried to hold down a giggle " Yes" I said " Would you like tea, tea or tea? Wait!" I paused " We do have some new tea in too"

Chloe spoke quietly " Any coffee?"

Skye shook her head and I spoke loudly " NO COFFEE IS SERVED IN THIS HOUSE!"

I left them to discuss as I made the tea. I boiled the kettle as I muttered under my breath 'coffee?' I shook my head 'blasphemy I say, blasphemy!' 'coffee will be the death of me'
 Wondering back into the living room; a tray of steaming mugs in my hand. Skye looked delighted whereas Chloe still seemed a little disheartened after the coffee incident, yet grabbed a piping hot cup. I sat down on the arm chair beside the full sofa, slurping the tea in my hand.

Paisley stived to break the awkward silence mixed with loud slurping and gargles " So... When are we going to..." She shrugged ".... Actually get ready?"

Natalie nodded, she didn't look away from the spot on the wall her eyes now seemed to be engaged to.

Skye stood up with Becks " Lets do this shit!" She looked to Becks and they both fist pumped.
The other less motivated people and I stood up to follow Skye and Becks bounding up the stairs. I hated this part, when I had to act feminine...

Skye flung open the wardrobe dramatically. She ran her finger along the line of dresses, her finger paused, then grabbed at a dress-
Then another
Then another...

The most concerning part of it all was the incredible ease she managed the entire process with. In almost a minute, she was cramming my bridesmaids and myself into dresses.
The chaos was noticeable, but mostly it worked smoothly. As I said, Skye was cramming people into dresses, and she'd set Paisley onto makeup. Chloe had taken control of hair, but only after Skye had clothed us.

Speaking of Skye, she's the best person in the universe for talking to about strange things. While she slipped the dress over my head, and stared too long at Paisley getting changed herself, we started talking about all kinds of... weird things.
When the, quite frankly better- forgotten- than- remembered conversations had ended Natalie approached me with a mirror, it was small so only part of my face could be seen at any one time. The girls looked at me expectantly as I lifted the mirror to my face.
Before I peeked at my face I looked to Chloe- She had her hands near her face, I was sure that had it not been for the intensity of the moment she'd either be dancing or screaming at this moment.

I looked at myself.
Skye and Paisley's brows raised expectantly.
I smiled brightly " I look..." I shook my head in despair " There is no way I can say this and not sound cheesy"

Paisley laughed " Just say it!"

I nodded " I look-" I allowed suspense to build " -As beautiful as Sherlock"

My words had a mixed reaction from the girls, Paisley and Chloe seemed to have a look of hopelessness plastered on their faces, Skye on the other hand seemed utterly delighted by my reaction. I do however, think that they all knew how much I loved it. And I did, I looked like a princess: I didn't know it was possible, but I felt even more excited than before.
Then it occurred to me-

" Oh my God!" I stood up " I'm getting married in three hours!"

The girls looked at each other to understand what was happening.

" That means we need to get going" I said. They didn't move " DRIVE BITCHES!"

They jumped up and scurried down the stairs, like little giddy puppies. When the collection of colourful babes got to the door they came to a halt. Natalie whispered something into Becks' ear. I couldn't hear it, but I was almost certain it was about me. Becks nodded to her and smiled. I wondered what she had said.
I was going to confront her, see what they were saying. But then all five turned to me, they smiled giddily and Chloe opened the door dramatically, there was an old fashioned car waiting for me outside, it had a petite white ribbon tied to the bonnet, that stretched around the... Bentley  I think it was a Bentley... (Finding it so hard not to make a Skulduggery reference)
I shot happy-rays at them all,

" I can't believe it you guys!" I bounced " I didn't expect this, thanks you guys!"

Natalie smiled at me " We knew you would like it!"

" I do" I smiled back

" Good" Natalie said " Because I charged it from your credit card"

I pretended not to hear that comment and nodded.

Skye stepped forward " As wonderful as this moment it... It truly is, HURRY UP AND MOVE!"

We sprang to life and hurried down the pathway toward the house, there was two vehicles, so we spilt, because Skye would be the one giving me away (In the absence of father or mother, she was practically a parent to me) her and I shared the main. While Natalie, Chloe and Becks hopped into the other car behind.
The Bentley began to trek forward.

I turned to Skye " I can't believe I'm getting married"

" Me either" She said to me " I'm still trying to understand how you ended up in a relationship"

I crossed my arms " Thanks, love you too Skye"

She patted me on the shoulder awkwardly " Just kidding, live you really." She paused " But seriously, how did you manage to get him?"

I shook my head and tried not to laugh " Just think" I looked at her

" I do that a lot already Electra" She said sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes " Maybe you and Paisley will be getting married one day, and it'll be me taking you to your big day" I winked at her

Skye didn't answer.

I looked at her " You mean?..."

She shook her head " No, not yet"

I allowed my jaw to drop " But... You will?"

" Maybe" She said

I clapped my hands " Yay"

Skye peered at me " Anyway, this is your big day. Enjoy it."

The car slowed as we came closer to our destination

Skye sat up " Isn't that your little lodger over there?" She pointed to Arthur in the distance

" Erm..." I glared ".. Yes"

" He isn't dressed very smart" Skye said dully " Frankly rude" She allowed a moment to pass " No matter how cute he is. I like him, marry him instead"

I laughed loudly " Hey! It's my wedding day, and you're telling me to marry somebody else!?"

She shrugged.

I hopped out at the curb where Arty stood. I embraced him " What are you doing here?" I asked, him still in my arms " Why aren't you at the seats, where they actual service takes place?"

" I just came to see you before your big moment" He said bluntly

" Surely you could tell me that after the service" I smiled

He shook his head " Nah, I'm not coming to the actual wedding" He sighed

My heart sank " What? Why?" I felt a mixture of disappointment and hurt.

He looked down Solomon " It's not.." He rubbed the back of his neck "... My scene"

I looked deep into his eyes and stared sympathetically " But I can't have my wedding without you"

His expression changed slightly " I'm not even properly dressed"

I smiled " As long as you're here" I kissed his cheek " Now go sit down you numpty"
He dragged his feet a long the floor, he disappeared around the corner.

Skye nudged me " He likes you"

" Shut up" I laughed

Becks, Chloe and Natalie wobbled down the path toward us, they smiled at us.

" You ready?" Smiled Skye " It's your big moment"

" Always." I replied.
Natalie, as my maid of honour; was the first behind me. Next was Chloe, Paisley then Becks (in no particular order might I add) Skye slipped her arm around mine and walked a step.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!

Brakes skidded behind us, we all turned suddenly. A small blue car came into view, it was going fast, really fast.
As it came closer it showed no sign of slowing. Becks bent around to talk to me

" I think that the dude in that car is about to run you over"

I nodded " I think so too"

" SCARPER!" Yelled Skye.
We ran toward the tree lining, just on time apparently, as the car only came to a sliding halt as it hit the grass, on which we once stood.

Becks clenched her fists and stormed toward the car. She didn't hesitate to rip open the door and grab the driver. She dragged him up by his collar and shoved him onto the roof. The poor man tried to flail about but Becks showed no sign of loosening her hold.

She looked him in the eye " See that woman over there?" He didn't look round " Well, she is about to get married. And you almost run her over." The man looked in fear. " Now little man, I don't want to damage that pretty face of yours, but I don't know..."

He turned to look at me " I'm sorry, I didn't mean t-" He spoke in an English accent. He stopped " Electra?"

Then it hit me " Kevin?"

" Electra," He pulled away from Becks, whom looked rather confused " I came all of this way for you" He laughed with his head in his hand " And I almost killed you"

" Shut up and love me" I ran toward his and we melted into eachother.

Chloe interrupted " And he is?...."

" Oh!" I put my hand on Kevin's shoulder " Guys, this is my brother, Kevin"

Natalie put her hand on her hip " Would it be inbred if I were to have his babies?"

" Let me think" I said " YES!"

" That's a shame, he's a cutie" Grinned Skye

" He's my brother" I tightened my grip on his shoulder " Stupidity, bad driving and punctuality. He never has a clue what's been going on" I opened my eyes " And has to go sit down!"

He smiled oddly and scurried away. I watched as he walked- or rather wobbled around the corner.

" Right" I breathed in " Are we ready?"

" It depends" said Paisley as she slipped in position " Any more relatives you haven't told us about"

I smiled " I hope not"

It was time that we moved, too much time had already been wasted. I took one last deep breath and took a step. I half expected a random disaster. None came.
We slowly rounded the corner, I felt butterflies in my tummy as the music began to play. Skye tightened her grip around my arm as she saw Alex. My eyes drifted around the crowd, everybody I would have wanted was here. I was pleased to see Sarah and Fletcher sitting at the back, wearing their best (Just as I taught them to) They sat next to Betty and all other old faces. Within the crowd was also the famous Bridget, talking to... Loki?

My eyes then drifted toward Alex, he took my breath away. His suit was tailored perfectly for his frame, he had his best watch on, along with his beautiful smile. My legs turned to jelly, just as they did that day we met. It all seemed so surreal, it seemed only yesterday that we had just met, and now we were getting married. This is the highlight of my life. I need to make the most of it.
Skye stepped forward again, dragging me with her. The crowd stopped talking, the room was looking at me. I blushed and looked to my bridesmaids. They all looked so gorgeous, I could see the joy on their faces, and they should have been happy, they were sharing in my big moment. And I wouldn't have wanted to share it with anybody but them. When I turned back around I realized I was just steps away from the vicar and my Alex.
Skye let go of my arm and walked to the side with the bridesmaids. I looked to Alex and gently grabbed his hand, we turned simultaneously to face the vicar. Nerves bubbled inside me, I shook, not in fear, but in sheer excitement and happiness.

The vicar spoke with an old and deep voice


“ Alexander Windfield the second and Elizabeth Danton will be married in the eyes of God and in the law. If anyone has a reason why they cannot be lawfully married, please speak now or forever hold your peace.”
My heart pounded vigorously as the next moments passed.
After 10 seconds the priest continued.
“ Do you two know of any legal reason of why you wouldn’t be able to be joined in holy matrimony?”
I shook my head, and so did Alex
" Okay" The priest smiled and looked to the sky, As if he was trying to  remember what to do next. It must have come to him because his mouth opened “ Now today, Elizabeth and Alexander II, you will be proving to the congregation your love to each other. As this couple, so in love that they have made the decision to write their own vows. First to mr. Windfield" He seemed proud of himself. He looked to Alex
“ Elizabeth May Danton, I promise to love and be with you always and forever. My life has been so different since you came swanning in, laughing at my 'stupid face' and putting salt in my coffee. Oh-" He grinned bashfully " And the constant Sherlock and Doctor who references"
" Woo!" Skye shouted. I shook my head and smiled.
Alex continued " But I love you more than the world. There is nothing that I wouldn't do for you Electra. You bring happiness and light into my life, and every second with you makes my life worth living. You are the first, and only person I will ever love, together forever, until the day I die"
Emotions took a hold, I allowed a tear to roll down my cheek
" Mrs. Danton?" The vicar signed to me that it was time that I did my speech.
I cleared my throat " You are like a weeping angel to me, I just can't stop staring at you. To me, you are like the TARDIS; because every time I look into your eyes, I feel like my heart is flying around the universe. For you, I would wait a thousand years, just as the last centurion did. Sometimes it's as if you are from Gallifrey, because you are out of this world. And every time I see you, you make my heart go wibbly wobbly every timey wimey. Hopefully one day you will get to know that I am much bigger on the inside, and what I really mean to say is.. You are Dalek-table" I breathed out. That was all I had written, and it fitted perfectly. 
" Oi!" Yelled Skye loudly " Is that I sonic screwdriver in your pocket Alex?" She looked to Chloe and they both yelled " Or are you just happy to see her!?"
A snigger from the audience before the vicar continued
“ To conclude that, do you, Elizabeth May Danton, take Alexander II Windfield as your lawful wedded husband?”
“ Forever and always.” 
“ To conclude, do you, Alexander II Windfield, take Elizabeth May Danton as your lawfully wedded wife?”
“ Forever and always.”
“ Now onto the ring exchange. The ring is of symbolism, because a circle is infinate. A circle will move on forever. The ring is precious. A ring is something that you want to treasure forever and ever.  All of those factors are like a marriage. Elizabeth, please repeat after me.
" I, Elizabeth May Danton, give you Alexander Windfield, this ring, as a symbol of my love for you.” 
My voice was shaky with nerves.
“ I, Electra Danton, give you Alexander Windfield, this ring, as a symbolism of my love for you.”
I slid the ring down his finger. He looked up at me and grinned, a tear in his eye. 
“Alexander, repeat after me. I, Alexander II Windfield, give you Elizabeth May Danton, this ring, as a symbol of my love for you.”
He grinned at me. Allowing a tear to stumble over the creases caused by his tear.
“ I, Alexander Windfield, give you Electra May Danton, this ring, as a symbol of my love for you.”
He slid the ring onto my finger. It fitted perfectly, just as the two of us did.
The vicar rubbed his hands together and smiled " And so, by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride"
" Finally" I said. Dragging him down by his collar, I kissed him hard on the lips, I made sure that we shared every tear between us.
The crowd stood up and clapped
My lips were still firmly pressed to Alex's face, but out of the corner of my eye I saw Arthur. He was still sat, his head in his hands, not moving. I felt an ease of sadness for him. I pulled away from Alex and looked all around my friends. I saw something at walked toward it.
" Skye?" I stopped in front of her " Are you... Crying?"
" No" She wiped away a tear " It's just raining on my face"
Paisley walked up behind her and put her hand on her shoulder " My little Skye is just emotional that her baby Electra is growing up" Paisley kissed her on the cheek.
Skye wiped away the last tear from her face and looked at me " You're still an idiot" She said as she leapt into my embrace. I hugged her warmly.
I felt a hand on my hip from behind. I smiled realizing straight away whom it belonged to, I turned " Hello miss Windfield" Said Alex



I kissed him " Hello mr. Danton"

" That's not how it works Electra" He shook his head

" Yes it is" I giggled

" Yeah.. It is" He giggled back at me.

Kevin came up to us, his face red with tears. He flung his arms wide open for a hug. I pressed myself into his chest and clutched him tight.

" Ehem" Coughed Alex

" Oh" I had forgotten that Alex didn't know who Kevin was, or even that I had a twin brother. " This is my twin brother, Kevin" I showed him off to Alex, as if he were an old antique

" Pleased to meet you" Smiled Alex warmly and grabbed his hand to shake firmly " Hello, brother"

I felt so happy, my husband... Yes, husband (Still getting used to that) was the nicest guy on earth.

" TIME TO PARTY!" Screamed Becks from behind me.

Friday 1 February 2013

The Hen party

I looked in the mirror and applied more red lipstick.

NOCK NOCK NOCK

" Come in" I beckoned, not looking around.

The door opened to reveal Arthur " Just came to see if you were alright" He smiled " You've been in here a while"

I nodded and turned away from the mirror " I need to look my best for the Hen night" I giggled, grabbing my little red dress. I slipped behind the partition to put it on.

" I didn't think that you'd be interested in that sort of thing" He said, not able to see my face

I slipped out from behind it, now wearing the dress " Why not?" I asked

" Because well, you never used to drink"

I smiled to myself " I didn't. But then I met Natalie"

" This Natalie person sounds interesting, I'd love to meet her" He rubbed the back of his neck.

I turned my back to him " Would you zip me up?"

" Y-yes" He said, placing his fingers on the zip. I held my hair out of the way.

His hands slid up to the top shakily " Done" he said quietly.
I turned to him and smiled

" How do I look" I asked, giving him a spin

He grinned " Amazing"

" You're just saying that" I smiled and looked at him " You are such a great friend Arty"

" Th-thanks" He smiled weakly

I turned to kiss him on the cheek. He looked at me in surprise " What was that?"

" A thankyou for being such a good friend" I ran out of the bedroom to find my phone. Arty still in the bedroom.

BEEP BEEP!

" My Taxi is here!" I shouted up the stairs

Alex came in from the living room " Okay, don't get too smashed" He laughed

" No promises" I giggled, kissing him on the lips.

With that I left, jumping into the taxi.
I looked out of the window, gazing upon the creeping night. Street lamps flickered to life and the sun disappeared over the horizon.
It was party time.

I clambered out of the taxi in front of the bar 'woohoos' there I waited for my friends.
I glanced at my watch 8:00 they're due any minute now.

Becks and Chloe jumped up at me from behind. I jumped forward and almost snapped my heel. Chloe was wearing a flattering blue dress, with a necklace that suited the neck-line. Becks was wearing something more to the Hen-night-theme, it was a little kinky outfit, with thick coats of make-up.

Natalie then turned up, she was wearing a school-girls costume, she looked adorable.
We all gathered around in a huddle to keep warm.

We were waiting on Skye and Paisley.
Beginning to doubt that they were coming.
But then they appeared.
Holding hands.
I had forgotten that they'd be together, holding hands and-
KISSING?

Natalie ran up to Skye " No kissing in public!" Then she laughed " You two are adorable!" She hugged them both.

We looked to eachother and smiled " Line up!" I squealed.

We lined up where the entrance was, all excited to be in a fancy club such as this.
One by one we entered the club.
When I entered the lights flashed dully, and the music thumped and drilled into my mind. It was amazing.
I joined Skye and Becks dancing on the dance floor. All 6 of us danced for a while, we were beginning to sweat, the songs flicked through, and we danced to every one of them.

We stopped only for drinks, and lots of them.
Paisley's dance-energy was the first to run low

" I'm pooped" She breathed heavily " I'm going to sit-" She breathed " Down"

" Aww!" Said Skye, still shaking her booty

Paisley held up her finger to sign 'one moment' " I need to catch my breath first"

I looked to the girls and laughed. Paisley sat down and watched onward.
Skye was on a roll, dancing to every tune, even swing... Alone.

The DJ changed the tune and turned it down " Now for a request!" He shouted down the mic.

Natalie Came running back toward us " You'll love this" She grinned, she grabbed my arm and pulled me to the centre of the dancefloor

The tune came on:
Hakuna Matata

I looked to Natalie and allowed a grin to engulf my face
We jiggled " HAKUNAMATTATA!" We screamed, laughing.

Natalie and I plonked our bottoms on the chairs, exhausted. We were all sat down...
Except Skye and Becks, they carried on dancing.

" How are they not tired out?" I asked

Chloe shook her head " Becks could go all night" She paused " Not like that Electra" She scowled at my giggles

Paisley nodded too " Skye, there's no stopping her"

Natalie took a big gulp of her drink and spoke loudly " Lets have a bet!" She had all of our attention " Who do you think will run low first?" She looked to us all expectantly

We ummd and arrrd in decision.

Natalie spoke " Skye, she's invincible"

Chloe whispered " Becks, she's-" She gulped " Insane... Lord knows what she's capable of"

Paisley decided that Skye would win, but I had faith in purple and perky Becks.
The three others and I sat and jugged for hours, chatting about stuff, apparently Chloe can speak very fluent French... Although whether she realized that she was speaking in it was beyond me. Natalie was singing a song about cheese and postal strikes in South Africa, Paisley was just sat, staring at Skye, who was dancing on, without a sign of stopping.

Eventually Chloe was asleep on the table, Natalie had stopped singing and I was ready to say something witty

Suddenly Paisley sat up " She's won!" She pointed to the dance floor

" Ha!" Natalie pointed at me " I win!"

" Crud" I muttered, I decided not to wake Chloe, she seemed peaceful enough.

Becks was sweating now, she went to get a drink from the bar, gulping it down quickly.

She approached our table of miscreants " 'sup with Chloe?" She asked

I shook my head " A question beyond most of us"

Becks looked to her friend in concern " I should take her home..."

" BOO!" Shouted a drunk Natalie

" You're right, it's time that we all gave in for the night" I said

" BOO!" Shouted Nat again

Paisley stood up, Becks leaned Chloe on her shoulder and slugged her way to the door. Paisley tried to grab Skye, who was still dancing. Without success, I tried to drag her away.

Natalie was still in the corner " BOO!"

Eventually we were all out of the club, the evening's fresh air was a relief to feel on my face, it was cool, which made me breath deeply, I felt fresh again.
I stayed back to make sure that all of the girls got home safely, after a while Skye and Paisley's taxi arrived and I was free to go home.

It was early morning by my return home, I saw Alex in the hall, tapping at his watch sarcastically

" What did I say about not drinking too much?" He said

" Shut up" I said kissing him.

" You're drunk!" He smiled, not pushing me away.

" I know" I said " I know"
