In da Club bLiNd New Years Eve 8:30 pm The living room is pretty quiet and almost dead. Aisha, Felicia, and Summer are sitting playing cards. Kida and Kanasuki are playing a board game. Giselle sits on the couch and watches the others while Felix is flipping through channels. And Gumdrop is on the table eating popcorn while lying in the bowl itself. Justin: (walks in) .... What... in the multi-verse... is this? Kida: We’re just having a little New Years party. Justin: ..... This? You call this a party?? Oh no. Nonononono. Felix, toss me the remote. Felix: (throws the remote to Justin) Justin: (catches it, and turns off the TV) “beeyooooo” Felix: Hey! Justin: Kids! Put down your apple juice and your graham crackers! Uncle Artukei’s gonna show you a real party! Grab your coats! We’re goin’ out! Kida: Honto?! Justin: (nods) Honto. Kida: Kakkoii!! Aisha: Where are we going? Justin: Where the fun doesn’t end ‘til the sun ascends. Kanasuki: (ears wilt) Mew. Artukei-sama, I can’t stay up that long. Summer: You don’t have to go, Kanasuki. You can stay here. Felicia: But if we all go, then she’ll be all alone. Kanasuki: (shakes her head) Meow! Ie! Felicia: Someone will have to stay with her. Justin: (looks at Kida) Kida: o.o ... No. Justin: Kida-chan, someone has to stay with Kanasuki. Kida: I’m gonna play babysitter while you go out and have all the fun?! No way! (looks at Kanasuki, bows) Gomen, Kana-chan. No offense. Giselle: Artukei. (stands up) Actually, I’d prefer to stay home as well. I’ll watch Kanasuki. Justin: OK. Thanks Giselle. Kida: (hugs Giselle) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 9:00 pm --downtown-- Justin: (getting out of the DeLorean) Cats and kittens, welcome to Club bLiNd! Aisha: Whoa! Where’d this place come from? Justin: It’s brand new. Just opened a few months ago. And it’s already the hottest party spot in town! Kida: Yatta! This is so awesome!! --Club bLiNd-- Kida: (sitting at a table, staring at the bracelet on her wrist that says, “UNDER 18”) -_- This is so embarrassing. I’m supposed to just stay here and do nothing? Man, I’d take babysitting over this. Waitress: (walks up to the table) Anything to drink, Miss? Kida: (holds up her wrist) Waitress: Water it is. (walks away) Kida: *sigh* (pounds the table) Daikirai! This sucks dragonballs! Ozz: (behind her seat) Zzz? Kida: If Mom and Dad weren’t so over-protective, I’d be tearing up that dance floor with the rest of them. Darn it! When are they gonna stop treating me like a kid?! Ozz: (peeks over her head) Zooo? Kida: (low) Hey Ozzy. Ozz: (picks up her hand and tries to get her up) Zoo. Zoo! Kida: What? Ozz: (lets go and starts dancing to the blaring techno) Kida: I can’t. Mom and Dad said... Ozz: (shakes his head, points at his eyes and then at Kida) Kida: .... (slowly smiles) You’ll keep an eye on me. Ozz: (nods) Zoo! ^.^ Kida: Maybe Dad isn’t such a tightwad afterall. (shoots up) Yoshi! Ikimasho! (runs towards the dance floor) 10:00 pm The whole crew is heating it up on the dance floor. Well, save Felix who’s just sitting and watching. Justin and Aisha are dancing up a storm and so are Felicia and Summer. And now, no longer feeling segregated, they’re staying in their cat-girl forms. But they still have to wear clothes in public. Especially Summer, who’s body fur hasn’t grown back yet. Summer: Hey Mom. Whadaya say we show them some real dancing? Felicia: Alright! Ready? Summer: GO! The two launch into a kick-ass routine that looks like a combination of disco, pop and lock, Broadway, some old fighting moves, and a dash of Michael Jackson. The people around them start to notice and are so amazed by their display that they stop dancing and step back. Soon almost the entire dance floor has become their audience. Aisha: Hey, what’s going on? Justin: Don’t know. (gets on tip-toes and tries to see) Looks like Felicia and Summer. There’s a crowd gathered around them. 0.0 Oh no. This could be bad. C’mon. (he and Aisha push their way through the crowd to get to the front) Summer! Felicia! Are you all.... right? Aisha: Wow. They seem fine to me. Felicia and Summer continue their fantastic show with everyone around them wooting and hollering. Soon, the dancing exhibition ends with the cat-girls out of breath and the throngs clapping and cheering. Dancer 1: That was awesome! Dancer 2: Where’d you learn that? Dancer 3: Are you two sisters? Summer: *giggle* ^_^ Felicia: It’s nothing, really. (spies Justin) Oh! 0.0 Justin: (glaring at them with his arms crossed) Summer: Artukei? Justin: (shakes his head) I can’t take you anywhere. (smiles) 11:00 pm Justin, Teshik, and Felix are standing at the bar. Justin: Hey, Felix. I think that girl over there is checking you out. Felix: Huh? (looks and sees a hot young girl glancing over at him) No way. She’s not looking at me. Teshik: (in human form) Dude, she is. Felix: No she’s not. Justin: Do something. Felix: Um. (looks back at the girl, smiles and nods) Girl: (starts walking towards him) Felix: Oh no. She’s coming over here. Justin: Well, you nodded at her, dude. What’d you expect? Felix: You told me to do it. Justin: I didn’t tell you to nod. Girl: Hi. Felix: Um... uh... Hi... I... uh... (turns toward the guys) Hey... 0_0 (they’re already at the other end of the bar) Justin and Teshik: (waving) ^_^ Felix: grrrrr. Girl: Hey. Felix: uh. 0.0\/ (looks back at the girl) Girl: You wanna dance? Felix: Um... I uh... um... I... no... I... g-gotta go. (walks away) Girl: ??? Justin: Aw man! Where’s he goin’?! Teshik: Houston, we may have a problem. Justin: I swear. I’m gonna hook that guy up if it’s the last thing I do. 11:59 pm Justin: Hey, where’d Aisha go? Last I saw her she was with Summer and Felicia. I gotta find her if I want to kiss her at midnight. MC: Alright everybody! It’s time to count down the new year! Justin: 0_0 What?! No! Not yet. Not yet! “20!... 19!... 18!... 17!... 16!” Justin: (looking through the crowd) Where is she? I can’t see her. I can’t see anybody! “10!... 9!... 8!... 7!...” Justin: Aisha! Aisha!! Aw crap! Like she can hear me over all this! “3!!... 2!!... 1!!...” HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Explosions of confetti and streamers detonate from every corner and thousands of balloons rain from the ceiling. And Justin’s all alone. Justin: (frantically looking for Aisha) Aisha? Where is she? (sees all the couples starting to kiss) Aw crap! I missed it. Where on earth.... WAAH!! (something pulls Justin into a dark corner) What the... mmm. Justin feels a hand on the back of his head and something pressing against his lips. He’s being kissed by a complete stranger! Justin: Mmm. (breaks away) Hey, who the... But the kisser isn’t done yet. She draws him back in for a second round. This one is more passionate and she starts to use a little tongue. And Justin, having not much of a reason to resist, does the same. Justin: Mmmm. Hmm? What the...? The kisser finally releases him. Justin: Who are you? Aisha? (reaches towards his assailant, but feels nothing but the wall, as if they vanished) What the...? Fangs? January 1st, 2006 12:15 am Justin: (sitting at the bar) There you are! Aisha: Where were you? Justin: (sly smile) You know where I was. Aisha: No. Kida and I have been looking all over for you. Justin: Oh c’mon. I know it was you. Aisha: Nya? Justin: You know. The corner? Midnight? (puckers his lips) Aisha: .... I have no idea what you’re talking about. Justin: Suuuuure. Felicia: (comes running up) Aisha: Felicia, where’ve you been? Felicia: I got kinda held up in the ladies room. Autographs. Aisha: Wasn’t Summer with you? Felicia: I thought she was with you. Aisha: Grrrrr! Where is everybody! Summer: (runs up) Hi! Felicia: Where’d you go? Summer: Sorry if I kept you waiting. I had to get these. (pulls something out of her pocket) Justin: What’s that? Summer: A late Christmas present. (hands Justin two slips of paper) Justin: (looks at them) .... 0.0 Aisha. These are tickets for the “Phantom” show next month! Aisha: What? (looks) I thought these were sold out. Justin: Summer, how did you...? Summer: Let’s just say I know somebody who knows somebody. Felicia: Summer’s got connections all over the theater district. Summer: When I saw Giselle give you that scarf she had made, it hit me. She used her talents to get your gift. I thought I could use mine too. Justin: (hugs her) Thank you so much, Summer. Summer: Hey. No big. Teshik: *grunt* Hey! *grunt* A little help here? They all turn around and see Teshik dragging something. It’s Felix! And he’s frozen in a state of shock! Justin: What the heck happened?! Teshik: That girl from before came up and kissed him at midnight. Justin: She did? Teshik: On the lips. Justin: ..... HA! 12:25 am Justin: (driving back) I definitely felt fangs. It had to be Aisha. Then again, she’s not the only girl I know with fangs. Wait a minute. (looks in the rearview at Felicia and Summer) None of them knew where the others were at midnight. Felicia loves me like a brother, but.... if given the opportunity... I know she’d kiss me. And I know Summer’s attracted to me. So... 0.0 ...... it could’ve been any of them. But who was it?............ O.O Oh shit! Red light! “SCREECH!” Justin: Sorry. I’d better stop thinking or I’ll kill us all.

Happy New Year Everybody!!
