Chapter 6



Keys rattled, the door opened and Kevin walked into Brian's house at 10:45pm.
"Well look who finally decided to come back!" Brian teased.
"Hey guys." Kevin answered.
"So how'd it go?" Howie asked.
"Oh man, it was great. We had a very good dinner and took a walk by the lake and then decided to go dancing." Kevin remembered.
"Wow, sounds like you had a busy night." Brian commented.
"Yeah, but did you kiss her?" AJ asked.
"You're too nosey, AJ." Kevin accused.
"Hey, I gotta catch up on the juicy details. So did you?" AJ pried.
"If you must know..."
"I must!"
"Yes I did, now goodnight." Kevin started toward his bedroom but AJ jumped off the couch after him.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, you aren't gettin' off that easy." He said, holding onto Kevin's arm.
"Alright...we were slow dancing and it just sorta happened."
"Awww, ain't that cute?!" AJ said to Brian with a phony grin on his face.
"Sure is!" Brian laughed flipping through the channels on the TV set.
"Hey, where's Nick?" Kevin asked.
"Oh, he came in like an hour ago and went straight to bed. He was exausted." Brian reported.
"Oh. How was his date?"
"Well, judging by the way he practically floated in here, I'd say pretty good." Brian laughed remembering how Nick came through the door singing to himself, not even noticing the guys sitting there. He just walked right into the room and shut the door. Little did they know, Nick was dreaming of Allyssa.

"Oh Vik, spill it!" Nicole ordered Vikki the second she walked in the door of their hotel room.
"Geez, nice to see you too." She answered.
"So how was it? Sandy asked.
"It was wonderful! We had so much fun! We ate dinner, took a long walk by the lake, went dancing...." Vikki trailed off. "...kissed..." Gwen caught the last part even though Vikki was practically whispering it.
"Vik! You guys kissed?!"
"Yeah, when we were dancing. It was kinda spontanious, actually. It just seemed right."
"Go Vikki! You scored yourself a smooch!" Nicole laughed.
"Yep. Man, I'm so tired."
"So was Lyss. She came home about an hour ago and was acting all spacey and happy and just went to bed." Nicole explained.
"She didn't even fill us in!" Gwen whined.
"Well, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight everyone." Vikki went into her room and fell asleep the instant her head hit the pillow. She dreamt of the night she had, and how she wanted to do it again very soon. Allyssa was having the same dream.

"I'm not tired at all!" Gwen complained.
"Me neither." Nicole and Sandy answered.
"Let's have some fun..." Gwen said getting a mischevious look in her eyes.
"Gwen, what are you thinking?" Nicole asked.
"Let's call the guys!" Gwen squealed.
"This late? Don't you think they'll be asleep?" Sandy argued.
"Nah, c'mon, I'm going tro." Gwen reached for the phone and dialed Brian's number.
"Hello?" Brian answered.
"Hey B, it's Gwen."
"Hey, what's up?"
"Nothing, that's why we called."
"Oh, I see."
"Yeah, do you and the guys wanna come to a night club with us?"
"Um...Nick and Kevin are asleep, but me and AJ and Howie will come."
"Ok, that's fine. Allyssa and Vikki are asleep too."
"Oh, Ok. We'll be right over."
"Ok, great."
"Bye, Gwen."
"See ya Bri." Gwen hung up the phone with a smile on her face.
"Well?" Nicole asked.
"We're gonna party!" Gwen announced. The girls quickly got ready to go dancing and finished just as the guys knocked at the door. Nicole answered it.
"Well if it isn't the three musketeers!" She teased.
"That's us." Howie laughed. "C'mon let's go." The six headed out to the club. It was pretty crouded since it was a Friday, so the guys tried to keep a low profile so they wouldnt be recognized. A mix of "Hey Mr. DJ" was playing and everyone was dancing to it. AJ couldn't help getting on the floor when he heard himself through the speakers. When he got up, he grabbed Gwen's wrist and pulled her out with him. As the music played, AJ sang along as he and Gwen danced. Gwen has a huge grin on her face and was really getting into the song, as well as AJ. They were the center of attention as a circle of people crouded around them. They looked perfect together, dancing to the same rhythm with the same original styles about them. When the song finished, the watchers cheered and AJ and Gwen seemed as though they didnt even know anyone else was there. Gwen was laughing out of happiness as they walked over the the rest of the group.
"Man, Gwen, you're an awesome dancer!" AJ exclaimed.
"So are you!" Gwen blushed. "We should do this more often."
"Yeah, we should." AJ and Gwen were soon greeted by Brian, Howie, Sandy and Nicole.
"Hey, you guys looked good!" Brian remarked.
"Thanks." Gwen answered. The first slow song played and the three couples were on the floor. AJ with Gwen, Brian with Nicole and Howie with Sandy. Each couple talked softly as they danced, about how much fun they were having and how they wished they could make it a regular event. Whenever one pair would glance over, they would notice their friends staring into each others eyes and smiling. It was the start of something new for everyone, even the four at home who were sound asleep.
