» CHAPTER TWO «

Brian sighed heavily and looked at the two girls standing in front of him. "When I pointed to you I thought you two were AJ and the other girl." He placed a hand on his forehead and massaged it. "Great…" he mumbled more to himself. "I’m stuck with double and trouble."

Rina giggled. Leaning to Tatem and whispered, "I’m trouble."

"Shh!" Tatem hissed.

"So." Nick looked around the big hallway. "Where should we go now?"

"You think there are any bedrooms down here?" Rina asked.

"Rina!" Tatem exclaimed, jabbing her in the ribs.

"Hey! Almost every Fanfiction *I’ve* read has a cheesy love scene!"

"Shut up!"

Brian interrupted them. "We haven’t been properly introduced. I’m Brian and that’s Nick." He pointed to Nick, who was staring up at the large chandelier.

Tatem grabbed his hand, even though he didn’t offer it. "We know who you are! I’m Tatem, and that’s Rina. We’re from the group--"

"Velvet Crush, yeah you sat behind us at the MTV awards."

"And you put gum in my ex-girlfriend’s hair." Nick pointed out.

Tatem blushed and laughed lightly. "Oh… that was you guys…?" She cleared her throat nervously.

Nick then sighed. "Can we please get out of this room? It’s giving me a headache."

After a few minutes of arguing on where to go next, they decided to flip a coin. And after several more minutes of searching for a coin, they realized they didn’t have one. And after many MORE minutes of arguing about what to do next they decided just to go upstairs. As they turned around and began walking, three loud knocks came at the door. Turning slowly they all looked at it petrified. The knocks came again.

"M-maybe it’s Larry and Fred…" Tatem whispered.

"Or maybe it’s Michael Myers! Or Jason! Or Freddy! Hell this day has been weird enough!" Rina babbled.

"Nick…open it" Brian whispered.

"No way! You do it!"

Brian shook his head. "Tate, go open the door."

"Rina will do it!"

"I’m not moving!" she cried, latching into Nick’s arm.

"UGH! Fine! I’ll do it!" Brian groaned. Slowly he made his way to the door, then turned around. "Hey guys, I think they’re gone!" The three heavy knocks came again. He jumped away from the door and cursed. Then, taking a deep breath he reached forward with a shaky hand and yanked on the handle. He slowly pulled it open. Lightning struck, lighting up the doorway and the dripping wet figure.

Rina squeaked, clamping her arms around Nick’s waist with a vice like grip and buried her head into his chest. He made a painful groan noise and bent slightly, fighting to breathe.

"Angela?" Tatem gasped.

The figure stepped inside to reveal a tall girl soaked to the bone, with her wet clothes clinging to her. She looked up. "Rina? Tatem?"

Rina looked up too. "Angie?!" She let go of Nick’s waist. He collapsed to the floor, gasping for air.

Angela laughed and wrung out her hair long brown hair. "What are you guys—HOLY SH*T! Is that BRIAN?! WHERE’S KEVIN?!"

Brian frowned, confused. "Upstairs, why--" All that could be heard was the loud ‘boom’ as Angela broke the sound barrier running up the stairs. Brian picked himself off the ground. "Jesus…"

"C’mon guys! Let’s go look around," Rina called from the stairs.

Howie scratched his head. "Guys…I think we’re lost……………………….guys?" He turned as lightning struck illuminating the hallway showing that he was alone.

"Hey…." AJ stopped and looked around. "Where’s D?"

"I don’t know but don’t you get lost too!" Kevin took Cleo’s hand. "C’mon, make a chain so no one will--"

"I’m in the middle!!" Cleo shouted grabbing onto AJ’s hand.

Both the guys looked down at the spaztic little blonde in between them and laughed nervously. "Uh…okay."

"Zoinks Scoob!!" Brian yelled down the dark hallway. It echoed as him and Nick laughed hysterically.

Rina, who was sitting against the wall, rolled her eyes. "Okay guys, enough with the Scooby-doo jokes, it’s getting old."

Nick frowned. "Hey just cuz you don’t get them doesn’t mean--"

"No, we get them fine! But they’re LAME!" Tatem snapped.

Brian came between the two. "Don’t fight guys, we’ve got the rest of the night together."

"Sure."

"Whatever."

"HEY!" Rina shrieked, causing them all to jump and looked at her. "Look at this bunny!" Squealing she jumped a little, her curly blonde hair bouncing. "It’s soooooo cute!"

Nick made a face and stood behind her. "I think it has fangs…" He reached forward and pulled on the rabbit’s teeth. The floor jerked out from under them, causing them to fall back on their butts as the wall flipped to a secret room.

Brian blinked. "Uh…… okay."

Tatem reached forward and felt around for the teeth. "The teeth aren’t here."

"Leave it to Nick…. idiot."

"Well…. (cough) Well looks like it’s just you and me now huh?" Tatem said, smiling at him.

"Great," he mumbled walking away.

"Hey! Wait up!" she yelled running after him.

"Why? Are you going to light my boxers on fire now?"

"THAT was not… oh well…. Erm…. Okay! Fine it was! SO SUE ME!!"

Rina blinked owlishly at the wall. "Um…"

"Where are we?" Nick asked looking around. Rina scrunched her nose.

"I don’t know but it stinks in here!"

"It looks like a closet or something," Nick commented, picking up a dusty coat.

"Really?! Ooohh! This’ll be so cool! We can dress up in these old clothes and pretend--"

"No."

Rina, who had been skipping around the room suddenly stopped. "No what?"

"No dressing up and pretending crap! This isn’t a tea party for christ sakes!"

"Well *if* you haven’t noticed, you have been walking around in your boxers and a t- shirt this whole time!"

"HOW could I possibly not notice?"

Rina nodded. "I’m glad you see it my way! Now," She pulled down his boxers. ::HEY!! No thinking that you dirty birds! PG! PG!:: "Find something else to wear!"

"AHH! What are you? Some sort of nutcase?!" he yelled, fumbling to pull them up.

"No! Nick, you can hardly see anything in here! What difference does it make?"

"It… I… well… shut up okay!"

"Here." She threw some clothes at him. "Try these on."

"Fine" Grumbling he caught them and then looked up at her. "Turn around"

"What?"

"Turn around!"

Rina sighed. "Didn’t we *just* go through this?"

"Just once could you possibly NOT argue with me and just do what I asked you to!"

"Why? I - CAN’T - SEE - YOU!!!"

Nick talked through gritted teeth. "Why don’t *you* go try something on!"

"I’m going to but I don’t want to go near you cuz you’re a SPAZ and you might freak out and have a heart attack or something!"

They stared each other down for several minutes before Nick swore and looked away. "FINE! I’ll change in front of you! Jesus! Would you like a lap dance too?!"

"Who said I wanted you to change in front of me! I was simply stating you were bring a wuss for not wanting to change in front of me!"

"Whatever, just find something to wear so we can get the hell out of here."

Howie turned around suddenly before being attacked and slammed onto the ground. Someone was on top of him and kissing him passionately. When the kiss broke the person sighed.

"I love you Kevin."

"Uh… this is Howie."

"……. You’re kidding," the voice said flatly.

"Nope."

"OF ALL THE MOTHER F(edited for younger readers)G LUCK!!" The girl jumped up and began spitting. "HOWIE!! I MADE SURE NEVER TO KISS ANYONE BECAUSE I WANTED TO KISS KEVIN FIRST AND I GET HOWIE!!!" She unleashed a stream of vulgar words before flopping down on the floor.

Howie stood and leaned down to her, handing her a piece of gum. "Sorry."

She sighed, sniffing and wiping her tears with her wrist. "It’s okay… I’m Angela by the way."

"It’s nice to meet you Angela… do you know where we are?"

"Nope."

"Damn."

"We’ll be *safe* in here," Cleo giggled, leading AJ and Kevin in to the big room.

"Where are we?" AJ asked before bumping into a bed and flying face first in to it.

"AJ?" Kevin asked, blindly feeling around for him. "Where the hell are y--" He fell onto the bed a little bit away from AJ.

"Oh look, you guys found a bed, how convenient," Cleo purred, stretching out on her stomach between the two. "How about we play a little game hmm?"

"Uh… What *kind* of game," Kevin asked suspiciously.

"Pussy in the middle."

"WHAT?!" they both shouted, sitting up.

"I mean kitty in the center."

"Uh… I think I’ll go explore some more of the house," Kevin mumbled, making an attempt to get off the bed. Cleo grabbed him and slammed him back down. "The only thing you’ll be exploring is me!" She laughed, straddling him. **Cue the cheesy porn music…**

"Uh, y-you know I really don’t--" AJ squeaked.

"Shut up and take off your clothes."

"……………….okay."

"Do you have any idea where we are?" Nadine asked, trying to see down the highway through the pouring rain.

Gia shrugged. "Nope." She turned and backhanded Jasmine, who had been singing ‘It’s a small world after all’ over and over again.

"Owww!!" cried the tiny Asian girl from the ground.

Luchi sighed. "It’s gonna be a long night…"

After walking in silence for about an hour, Brian turned suddenly to Tatem. Tatem, who assumed he was still walking slammed into him.

"OUCH!" she yelled, backing up and holding her nose. "Brian what are you doing?"

"Look, I’m really sorry for yelling at you, I was just a little mad."

Tatem smiled. "Thanks for being so nice Brian." She laughed and gave him a huge hug.

"Yeah well how can I stay mad at someone so pretty, hmm?"

She made an odd choke noise and moved back, head bowed. "I… well… uh…yeah… t-thanks…"

Brian laughed. "Anytime."

"Hey!" Tatem cried, desperately trying to change the atmosphere. "Let’s try this door, maybe it’s open!" She began walking towards it, thanking god there was no lights so he couldn’t see her blushing. Gently she pushed open the large wooden doors and turned back to Brian. "You coming?"

"Yeah." He ran up next to her and they both walked inside.

"Damn." Rina smiled, checking herself out in the barely visible mirror. "I look HOT!!" She adjusted her blood red bondace and long puffy shirt, then began striking modeling poses.

"I can’t believe I’m doing this!" Nick mumbled, walking out from behind a pile of clothes. "I look like Austin Powers!"

Rina stopped posing, squinted, then laughed hysterically, pointing at his blue crushed velvet suit with big white ruffles. "You DO!! YEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH BABY!!"

"Shut up!"

"Oh behave Nicky!"

"This is the only one I could find my size! The people that lived her must have been fricken midgets!"

"Like Minime!!"

Nick sighed from irritation and crossed his arms. "Can we go now?"

"Go where? How do you think we got here?"

"What the *hell* are you wearing?!" he interrupted her.

"What?"

He came closer to her squinting. "What is that?" He poked her in the chest.

"HEY!" She slapped his hand away.

Nick blushed. "I really didn’t mean to--"

"Yeah whatever PERVERT!"

"No really I--"

She stomped her foot. "Listen you--" A trap door opened and they fell through the floor.

"Ouch Cleo, not so hard!"

"But I thought you *wanted* it that way AJ." ::lol I’m sorry I couldn’t resist!:: Cleo giggled.

"You know I--" Kevin paused.

"aaaaaaahhhhhhhh.!!"

"Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"Nothing. C’mon Kevin it’s your turn," Cleo said, grabbing onto him.

"No really listen."

"AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!"

"…..What the hell…."

"I wonder what that is?"

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" (THUMP) ::We wanted to make sure you knew it was really loud::

The bed collapsed as two extra bodies (traveling at like 300 mph) fell from the ceiling. Nick swore and dusted off his pants. "Great Rina! NOW where the hell are we?!"

"HEY!! Who pulled the rabbit tooth last time?!"

"Yeah well…" He paused. "What the f*ck…"

"Hey Nick!"

He jumped. "KEVIN!! Jesus Christ you scared me! Where the hell did you come from?"

"Kentucky." Nick stared at him blankly. "Oh!!" Kevin laughed. "You see I thought you… well… (cough) anyway…"

"Uh Rina," AJ asked in a strained voice. "Would you mind… GETTING OFF OF ME!!"

Rina jumped away from him, startled. "S-sorry AJ…"

"Ouch!! Rina you squashed my boob!" Cleo exclaimed.

"Sor—WHAT?! Wait a minute… what’s going on …here." She scrunched her eyes shut. "Oh God *please* tell me it’s not what I’m thinking."

"No… of course not Rina we were… wrestling…"

"YOU GUYS ARE SICK! *SICK*!!" she cried. "SICK YOU KNOW THAT!!" She jumped out of the bed and patted herself down as if to get rid of germs. "Yuck!"

"Hey Rina wait!" Nick yelled trying to scramble out of the bed.

"Ouch!"

"Hey!"

"Watch it!"

"Sorry!"

"Mmmmm" Tatem closed her eyes. "Are you sure it’ll fit Brian? I’ve had a little before but none this big! I don’t know if I’ll be able to take it all!"

"Sure you can. Come on, just a second ago you were begging me for this!"

"Well… I think I'm changing my mind."

"Are you sure?" he asked doing a little dance in front of her holding it

"Well… okay…" She gasped. "Oh God I didn’t know it was going to be so hard!"

"Not to be gross but it has probably been sitting around for weeks."

"Really?" They both looked down at the huge piece of cake on a plate in front of them. ** LOL!! I GOT YA!! **

Tatem snorted. "I don’t care I’m fricken hungry!" She took another piece and ate it happily. "It’s really not too bad!"

Brian took a piece too. "Hey you’re right!" He sat down beside her. They ate in silence for a bit until Brian chuckled. She turned to him.

"What?"

Smiling he reached forward. "You have a bit of frosting on your lip." He cupped her cheek and brushed it off with his thumb.

"Thanks," she whispered. He smiled again and started leaning closer to her. Tatem’s eyes widened. ‘Oh my god’ she thought. ‘He’s going to kiss me…’
‘Don’t panic…just close your eyes and try not to bite his tongue.’
‘DON’T PANIC!! THIS IS BRIAN LITTRELL WE’RE TALK ABOUT HERE!!’
‘….you’re right!! AHHHH!! OMIGOD!! OMIGOD!! WHAT DO WE DO!!’
She mentally slapped herself and cursed the two voices in her head. Right as he was about to kiss her when he suddenly pulled back.

"What?" Tatem asked sadly. She cupped her hand and breathed into it "My breath doesn’t stink!"

He gave her weird look. "What?!"

Realizing how dumb she looked she lowered her hand. "Uh…never mind."

Brian shook his head. "Okaaay… well I was just thinking… how old are you?"

She bit her lower lip. "20?"

"You sound so sure of yourself…"

"Okay okay… 19"

"…….."

"Alright! I’m only 17!!" She crossed her arms and pouted. "Like it makes a difference!"

He slapped his forehead. "17!! Oh my God!! I could be thrown in jail!!"

Tatem rolled her eyes. "Yeah if I was *16*"

He paused. "Really?" She nodded. "Oh well then… (cough) Hey how about we go and try to find the others!"

"I wonder where Brian and Tatem are?" Nick asked as they all walked down the hallway.

"She probably has him tied to a bed somewhere…" Rina mumbled.

They all laughed, except Nick, who looked confused. "Why would she do that?"

Rina grinned and bumped the side of her hip to his. "Maybe I’ll show you sometime." Everyone else groaned and rolled their eyes. "Oh sure! You guys go and romp around in some twisted three some and I can’t even make a suggestive comment!"

"Suggestive to what?" Nick asked, looking more confused.

"Never mind!"

"Shh… Listen," Cleo whispered. In the distance laughter could be heard.

"It sounds like it’s coming from there," Howie said, walking down the hall towards the laughter. He approached a door and pressed his ear to it. "It’s in here." As he reached for the door it flung open and he screamed. Tatem and Brian screamed too as she attached herself to his arm. Howie gasped. "Holy hell you guys! I think my heart stopped!" He grasped his chest and leaned against the wall.

"Where did you guys find each other?" Tatem asked. Everyone but Rina scratched their heads.

"I--" Kevin started. "I don’t know, I was with Cleo and AJ, Rina and Nick had just left and then ‘poof’ I was walking with everyone."

Rina smacked Tatem upside the head. "LEAVE YOU ALONE WITH THE PEN FOR TWO MINUTES AND YOU CONFUSE THE READERS!!"

"I’m sorry! Fix it!"

Rina rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers, making Kevin, Cleo, AJ, Howie and Angela disappear. "I’ll be fixing your mistakes till I’m 80!" she grumbled.

"I’m SORRY! Geez! I was trying to make the story move a little faster, you know?"

Brian squinted. "What are you two wearing?"

Nick blushed and Rina smiles. "You like it?" she asked twirling around.

"Yeah but Nick…" He shook his head. "Man I don’t even know what to say."

"How about nothing!" Nick snapped, crossing his arms and pouting.

"Anyway, do you guys know where we can get something to eat? I’m starved!" Rina whined, rubbing her belly for emphasis.

"Yeah, go to the end of the hall, turn left then count three doors on the right," Brian supplied.

"Thanks! C’mon Nick!" Rina said walking away

"Coming."

"Baaaaby," Tatem whispered.

"DAMN IT!!" NOW WHERE ARE WE?!" Howie yelled collapsing on his knees.

"Howie calm down." AJ said.

"AJ?! Where’s Angela?"

"Right here?"

"And are Kevin and Cleo here?"

"………."

"SH*T!!" Angela spat, kicking the wall. "He was right there!! RIGHT THERE!! And I didn’t do anything!"

"…is she okay?" AJ asked, backing away slowly from the cursing girl.

"Yeah," Howie mumbled into his hands.

"Cleo?"

"Yeah."

"Where are we?"

"I… don’t know."

"Damn… I left my pants in the other room!"

Cleo shrugged nonchalantly. "Oh well."

"You know!" Gia yelled over the mow typhoon like storm. "Maybe we should look for shelter and get out of the storm!"

"Who’s Norm?" Nadine yelled back, hugging herself to stay warm.

"Shelter can’t be to far from here! And we have to find Cleo, Rina and Tatem."

"Why would I want to date him??" Nadine asked, clearly confused.

"What are you talking about?"

"What?"

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!"

"I dunno, you were talking about some guy named Norm! I think we have to find shelter though! I’m cold!"

Gia nodded and turned to the other girls, motioning them to stand up.
