Chapter 6, Party!
"So you know what to do? You drink the cup with the girl's hair in it, you smile at the boys and get them to ask you. Crystal?"
The girls nodded at Darlene's words and Regina reached for her cup, whilst Scarlett hurriedly grabbed the cup next to Regina's.
Honey downed hers and yelled. "I'm blind!" she yelled. "This girl is absolutely blind! Everything is fuzzy!"
"Honey, sweetheart, it must just be the effects," Darlene said. She drank hers, and her vision was perfectly clear. "On second thoughts, maybe the girl has a sight impairment." She waved her wand and Honey's eyes cleared. She rested them on her other two friends.
"Hey, Scarlett," she said to the girl who looked like Lia.
"I'm Regina," the girl replied.
"But you don't like Remus," Honey said in confusion.
"No, I like Peter; that's why I look like Mei," Regina told her friend as if she were talking to a stupid person.
Darlene rolled her eyes as she noticed. "Trust you two to get it wrong."
Scarlett turned to Regina to see what the problem was, and screamed. "You look like Lia!"
Regina replied in a similar fashion with, "And you look like Mei! Oh no! We must have drunk the wrong cups by mistake; they were both a brownish colour!"
Darlene sighed. "We only have an hour, so we'd better not dawdle. Regina, you'd better hope that Peter liked Xylia, and the same to you but for Mei and Remus!"
The four of them hurried out and off to find their boys.
---
Honey hurried along the corridor when she spotted Sirius. "Hello, Sirius!" she said cheerfully. "So, have you chosen who you're going to ask out tonight?"
Sirius smiled back at the girl. "Actually, I have." He looked at her nose in confusion. "Hey, you have something on your nose. I'll get it off for you." He reached out and touched the bridge. Just as he suspected; no glasses. This wasn't Kairi.
"There," he said. "Well, I'll see you later, okay?" He turned and hurried away to find the real Kairi, leaving Honey behind, irritated.
As he was heading further down the corridor, he heard a hiss from behind a statue. He turned to find an identical girl to the other one, by this time with gold framed glasses perched on her nose. "What an irritating girl!" Kai said with a grin. "Hey Siz." She smiled cheerfully and mimicked Honey. "So, have you chosen who you're going to ask out tonight?"
Sirius nodded. "My lady," he teased, "d'you wanna come with me?"
Kai smiled widely. "I'd be delighted to, good sir!"
And so she hugged Sirius and skipped up the stairs to the CR to get ready, wondering why Honey hadn't thought to lock her away so that nobody found her.
---
Scarlett bounced up to Remus, who took one look at her and told her, "Scarlett, go and harass Peter. He might think you're actually Meiying."
Scarlett sniffed and muttered something about killing Regina, and then, to Remus's surprise, she said, "I know you like her more than me. And…and I guess I can see why. She doesn't try and steal someone else from the person they're perfect with. Remus, I wish you happiness." She leant up, gave him a kiss on the cheek, and walked away from Remus without even trying to make him ask her.
Lia walked up moments later. "What was that about?" she asked, curious.
"That was Scarlett; I think she accidentally turned into you. But she's stopped following me. She said she wouldn't again. And this gives me the chance to do this," Remus said to Lia. "Lia, will you come to the dance with me tonight?"
Lia nodded happily. "I will! Of course I will!" Mentally she started singing the praises of Scarlett, who'd turned out to be not so bad after all.
---
As for poor Regina, Peter had already asked Mei by the time she found him in the library (she'd answered in the affirmative and he'd kissed her in delight, leaving them in a make-out session). They were still kissing when she went in, so she walked off again and left them to it.
---
Kai entered the CR to find Lily and James deep in conversation. James looked up as she came in.
"Why are you so happy? Sirius ask you out?" James asked, teasing.
Kai nodded. "He asked me to come to the dance with him! I'm so happy."
Lily, who was really Darlene, seethed. One person had actually got their date to ask them out…and that meant Honey hadn't been asked…poor girl.
Kai hurried towards the left staircase and Darlene remembered something. "You can't go to the dorm!" she said hurriedly.
"Why not?"
"Because…all…because our dresses are in there and I don't want anyone to see them!"
Kai rolled her eyes. "We only have an hour to get ready and if I don't start now, then I won't be ready in time." With that, she left a nervy Darlene behind and climbed to the top of the stairs as fast as she could. She opened the door as she reached their dorm, or tried to. Behind the door she could hear a thumping noise, so she whispered, "Alohomora!" and the door unlocked. She opened it to find Lily against the wall beside the door, gagged and bound. She freed Lily speedily and hurried back to the stairs, where she yelled, "James! Lily wants you up here!! She was gagged and bound and I don't know why!" She looked down the stairs to see that the Polyjuice Potion was wearing off Darlene and that she was turning back to herself. "Hello Darlene," she said.
James turned and stared at Darlene in horror. Then he turned to the stairs and started running up them three at a time, ignoring the wailing. He grabbed hold of the railings when the stairs turned to a ramp and used it to help him up despite the stairs' frantic attempt at pushing him down. He reached the top, dodged Kai, helped Lily up, and then smiled gently.
"Hey," Lily said.
"Hey," James replied. "What are you doing tonight?"
Lily shrugged.
"Wanna come to the disco with me?"
Lily nodded. "Sure!"
At that moment, the other two girls appeared and all of them pushed James out of the door and proceeded to get ready for that night; they only had forty-seven minutes left and counting.

Although Regina and Scarlett had given in, Honey and Darlene were still as desperate as ever. They decided that they would not let the Flowers win this one. Pink Poison were going to beat Violet Venom at all costs.
---
The Flowers, dressed in their violet skirts and trousers and white tops, entered the disco to the sound of heavy music thumping. The boys each asked them to dance, and they did.
The Darlings, watching them, knew they had to act soon. Renny watched them plan something and whispered a plan in Remus's ear as the boy passed to get some drinks for the girls. Remus nodded and told the others when they went back.
"I'd like to make an announcement!" Darlene yelled as she walked onstage. Everyone quieted, all wanting to hear what the blonde had to say. "This past week, my friends and I have been in a bet with who you know as Violet Venom. We betted that the girls couldn't get to know the boys within a week. As it is, they have managed it, but alas, I'm sorry that you have to find out this way that they never liked you for you; they just wanted popularity."
The boys feigned hurt looks and looked away from the girls angrily. Sirius, glaring, said, "How could you do that to me?"
Kairi, also acting, stood up and yelled, "You know that we wanted popularity! It's all we ever wanted! Nobody noticed us!"
Lily chimed in. "We just wanted our week of fame. All the unpopular girls would see that, because we'd got to go out with the infamous Marauders, that we were cool. Everybody would love us."
"Yeah, and we fell for it!" Peter yelled. "You're nothing but a bunch of selfish bitches and I hope I never have to see you again!"
Darlene raised her eyebrows at the Flowers. "I guess we win the bet. The boys obviously don't like you, and we were winning anyway. You were never going to; you never had a chance."
Remus nodded slightly at Renny to tell him it was time. The boy hurried in, yelling, "Has anyone seen my boxers?"
Everyone stopped and stared at this Fifth Year Gryffindor who was brave enough to mention his underwear in front of the whole school.
"Some have been taken from my room. There are some that my sister gave me with pink flowers on them, and some with black and white stripes, and some with blue hearts on them, and some with a snow display."
Scarlett, who was not as stupid as we think, noticed the looks between Remus and Renny and realised what was going on. "Oh, I know where they are!" she piped up cheerfully. Regina nodded her head and agreed.
"Scarlett got the pink flowers and I got the hearts," she said cheerfully. "Honey got the stripes and Darlene got the snowflakes ones. They're in our dorm."
Darlene stared at the two girls angrily. "What are you two doing?"
Scarlett looked up, defiantly. "What we've realised these past two weeks is that we'll never be able to fill the places of Meiying and Xylia in Peter and Remus's hearts. They deserve the places much more than us, because we hang around with you. We're popular and evil, and we really shouldn't be. I'd prefer to hang out with the Flowers any day."
"Me too," Regina finished. "Goodbye, Darlene. I hope we can still be friends, but only if you stop being mean."
And with that, the two girls walked away from Darlene, each linking an arm with Renny and taking him out of the hall.
The Flowers stared at each other, screamed in delight, and kissed their date in absolute synchrony.
Yeah, the Flowers really had it.

Twenty-odd years later, eight girls strutted down the corridor; four heading for four.
"Hey girlies, we've got a bet that we think you'll like," said a brunette in one group.
"Hit it," said a black-haired girl from the other group. "Anyway, we'll beat you. We always do."
"Not this time, Angels. Just coz your twin brother is one of the most popular boys in school, it doesn't mean everyone loves you," a girl with auburn hair said from the opposing team.
A blonde in the black-haired girl's team replied with, "Okay, so tell us what we gotta do, Devils. We'll be ready for whatever you throw at us."

That's it!! But don't worry, I think I'll do a sequel with those girls at the end. Kudos to the person who works out who the black-haired girl is, what her name is, and who her mother is!! (Hint: look at one of my one-shots.)
I really hope you enjoyed that and do say if you want a sequel…That could just be a simple ending; it doesn't have to follow anything…
ly, for the last time in this story,
