[hider= Uhhhh... Where Should We Go?]
[center] [h3][color=LimeGreen]Kyle Parker[/color][/h3] [/center]
Kyle raised an eyebrow to his friend and sighed before giving her a small smirk, [color=LimeGreen]"Alright, at least let me put a shirt on first,"[/color] he shrugged his arm out of her grip and proceeded to pick the button up shirt on the ground.  Giving it a quick dust he buttoned the shirt together as they started walking, then unbuttoned the cuffs, rolling the sleeves up along his arms.  Despite the cold of January, tonight was surprisingly warm, perhaps good luck for the new year to come? The way tonight was going, he had his doubts about that.

[color=LimeGreen]"God, whatever am I going to do with you?"[/color] This wasn't the first time he'd followed this path down with Amity, whenever her 'Yandere Mode' activated she was a pretty scary person, but Kyle wasn't afraid of her so much as afraid of who she was going to hurt. Eventually she'd come down from that to her more usual personality, bright, bubbly and giggly, like she didn't just try to stab that student in the arm with a #2 pencil or taze some photographer for not giving her any photos.  At this point, Kyle was simply used to it and rolled with it, so if his friend wanted ice cream, then they were going to get some.

They emerged from the alleyway, checking to see if any other pedestrians were out and about, while it still seemed clear, they slipped from the shadows, back into the light of the city.  Their search began, and Kyle decided to ask her about the events of the ball, preceding the nearly committed assault of course.

[color=LimeGreen]"So you and Shou seemed to have had a nice dance, I didn't realize you knew him."[/color] His eyes scanned the buildings, most places appeared to be closed, it both being late and the dawn of a New Year on the horizon seemed far more appealing to most than working through it. [color=LimeGreen]"Are there even any places open?"[/color][hr][center] [h3][color=ed145b]Amity Bellerose[/color][/h3] [/center]
[color=ed145b]"You'll do what you do best, Kyle-chan!"[/color] Her heels resounded in the alleyway as she looked up admiringly at her friend. Time after time, he never failed to be a comrade and a great support. Sure, when he intervened with her love goals, it pissed her off but she had no right to judge him. She probably was ten times worse when he fell for a girl. The idol recalled a time when she interrogated Julia only for her to laugh and make Amity feel silly about herself. 

With a giggle, Amity winked, [color=ed145b]"You'll love me~"[/color] No matter what they went through, they'd forgive each other at the end of the day. Kyle was one of the few people that learned how to work around her sudden changes and she was grateful for that, flaws and all. Sometimes she wondered if he was too good of a friend to her. He cared too much and she wasn't the most stable person to deserve such kindness. 

Entering the hustle and bustle of Shine City, the two friends walked onward to some place...any place... for Ice Cream. She held his arm and looked ahead at some of the people walking and enjoying their night. It was surprisingly a beautiful night. She didn't know much about Shine City, so it was up to Kyle to lead the way. She thought to herself as the silence between them filled the air, should she ask what happened with Nori? Or should she let it be?

Her face flushed red when he mentioned Shou-- that hunk of a lady killer she was so lucky to dance with. [i]If only she had pictures of tonight's events...[/i]

[color=ed145b]"O-oh. You know him too?"[/color] Her grip around his arm tightened, perhaps this was a good thing he knew the man she just met but absolutely knew he was her one, true [i]love[/i]. If Kyle inquired more, should she be truthful or should she make something up? She didn't want to lie to her friend though. He could see right through her lies. The idol decided to leave the Shou inquiry alone until he further investigated.

[color=ed145b]"It is kind of late. We could go to a convenient store and buy some? Go back to my place and enjoy my Jacuzzi." [/color] She wouldn't mind staying outside for a little longer. Her backyard to her estate was peaceful with a garden, a gazebo, a pool, a jacuzzi... all that nice stuff. [hr][center] [h3][color=LimeGreen]Kyle Parker[/color][/h3] [/center]
He smirked at his friend, placing a hand atop her head and tousling her hair a bit, [color=LimeGreen]"Yea, I will, that and keep you out of trouble."[/color] He couldn't stay mad at the girl, while not an innocent person, she wasn't exactly a bad one either, though using the word 'misunderstood' would be a bit of a stretch, Kyle just felt she hadn't found...the right person.  For as long as he could remember, whenever Amity was romantically interested in someone she'd act this way towards most any woman who even looked at her love interest.  The same reaction was also received towards most any woman Kyle was interested in, though he knew it was only because she was looking out for him, even if she took to extreme measures to show that care and affection.

At his mention of Shou her grip on his arm tightened and his eyebrow raised a little curiously, [color=LimeGreen]"Not particularly well, no.  I only met him a couple of weeks ago at a cafe he's actually the reason I-"[/color] he cut his words short, he didn't want to think about her right now, [color=LimeGreen]"Well I also sold glasses to him too, but that's another story, other than that I don't really know much about the man, although he seems to have a good air about him."[/color]

That was his honest opinion, though he hadn't actually had a real conversation with him other than at work the one time, he didn't sense anything bad about the college professor.  He was personable, had a kind attitude, definitely a respectful one, very unlike the men that Amity would normally go for like back in their schooling days.  If she was interested in him, which given tonight's reaction was probably a definite, he might actually be someone worth going for and might even be able to help find Amity some peace in her...reactions. The future was indeterminate, who knows what was to come, all he could do was remain hopefully optimistic.

[color=ed145b]"It is kind of late. We could go to a convenient store and buy some? Go back to my place and enjoy my Jacuzzi."[/color]

[color=LimeGreen]"That's not a bad plan, I think we could do that,"[/color] Convenience stores, even on New Years, tended to be open fairly late, though the poor individuals who worked them weren't always the most friendly, with good reason of course. [color=LimeGreen]"There's a store not too far from here, prices are decent too, we can get some then get a cab to your place."[/color] As they continued to walk, Kyle asked the obvious question, [color=LimeGreen]"So is Shou the reason you nearly had that girl frothing on the ballroom floor?"[/color]

[/hider]

[hider=TO THE STORE FOR SWEETS]
[center] [h3][color=ed145b]Amity Bellerose[/color][/h3] [/center]
He was the reason I? Kyle didn't finish his story, grrr! 

...She'll ask him later about that for the idol needed to know everything and anything about her Shou! It's good to know that he goes to Kyle's job for his glasses though.

The mention of a cab made her grimace, [color=ed145b]"Ew a cab..."[/color] Amity thought back to the conversation the trio shared with her and how odd it was for them to allow Amity to have complete freedom. Kyle then inquired more into the incident earlier this evening, jumping up in place [color=ed145b]"OH!"[/color] and unintentionally changing the subject, Amity chirped, [color=ed145b]"That reminds me!"[/color] Letting go of Kyle's arm, she sent a group text to her trio saying: [color=ed145b]I'm okay, Kyle will take me home[/color]. 

Within seconds, she received texts:
Liam: [color=9e0b0f]Thank him for me.[/color]
Luke: [color=0054a6]WOOOOOO! Renee and I say HI! Also.. don't expect us home till some stupid time. Hope you're having fun.[/color]

Smiling and holding the phone to her chest, the idol assured, [color=ed145b]"Cab is fine."[/color] She didn't want to disturb her trio. They finally got a day to themselves. The idol wasn't going to spoil that for them. Turning the screen of her phone back on, she switched her phone to camera mode and turned it to Kyle's face. 

[color=fff200]*FLASH*[/color]

[color=ed145b]"Man, flash ruins night pictures."[/color] She took flash off and made sure night mode was on and turned the phone back to his face and cooed, [color=ed145b]"Liam says thank you."[/color] She took another picture *snap* Looking down at her picture, the idol quickly put a filter on it and then sent it out to the trio. Once again, she received texts within seconds. 

Liam: [color=9e0b0f]Looks like he changed and that you left the party early. Perhaps, that's for the better.[/color]
Luke: [color=0054a6]LOOKIN' GOOD KYLEEEEEEEE. Tho... what happened to the fancy suit?[/color]
Renee: [color=662d91]Ignore him. Be careful.[/color]

Amity couldn't help but chuckle at the dynamic of her trio. All so different, but all with a heart of gold. Bringing her attention back to the Shou question, she answered truthfully, [color=ed145b]"Yes and no. I wanted pictures. It doesn't matter if Shou was in them or not. She was so mean to me. She could of said no to me more respectfully. Though, regardless of how she phrased her words, I'd still taze the bitch."[/color]

Before she knew it, they reached the convenient store. Digging in her purse for money, she took out forty bucks assuming it was enough to pay for whatever.

[color=ed145b]"That's enough right? For ice cream and whatever snacks you want? We're good on alcohol."[/color] She waited for him to respond as she slapped the money into his hand. When he finished responding, she purred, [color=ed145b]"I'll probably stay here. I don't want people to stare at me. I can call the cab while you're inside!"[/color][hr][center] [h3][color=LimeGreen]Kyle Parker[/color][/h3] [/center]
She didn't answer his question, instead opting to bounce off his arm and went about texting someone before snapping a photo of him, the flash temporarily blinding him.

[color=ed145b]"Man, flash ruins night pictures,"[/color] she said disappointingly, [color=ed145b]"Liam says thank you."[/color]

[color=LimeGreen]"And is quite painful,"[/color] he stated, rubbing at his eyes before blinking them open, [color=LimeGreen]"Tell him I said, you're welcome."[/color]

She snapped another picture of him, this time without the flash, she went about doing some things on her phone while they walked.  Eventually she turned her attention back to him and answered his question about Shou, it was definitely an honest answer and Kyle couldn't help but shake his head at her friend's response about 'tazing the bitch'.  He found it amazing at how much and how little the woman changed in the few years they had been apart, he had missed his friend, though he had hoped that she'd have calmed down a little. The convenience store upon them, she put some money in his hand and asked, [color=ed145b]"That's enough right? For ice cream and whatever snacks you want? We're good on alcohol."[/color] She waited for him to respond as she slapped the money into his hand.

He laughed a little, [color=LimeGreen]"Yea, definitely enough and then some, I could buy myself food for the week with this...here,"[/color] he handed half the money back to her, [color=LimeGreen]"We can use this for the snacks,"[/color] he said waving the yen, [color=LimeGreen]"And that we can use for the cab home."[/color]

When he finished responding, she purred, [color=ed145b]"I'll probably stay here. I don't want people to stare at me. I can call the cab while you're inside!"[/color]

[color=LimeGreen]"Sounds good, anything in particular you want?"[/color]

[color=ed145b]"hmmmmmmm maybe red velvet flavor...and chocolate!"[/color] she exclaimed, [color=ed145b]"maybe even some hohos..."[/color] her eyes widened at the prospect.

[color=LimeGreen]"Got it, I'll be out in a couple,"[/color] he told her as he started walking into the store.

[color=ed145b]"Don't forget the gummy bears~!"[/color] she shouted after him.
[/hider]

[hider= Too Damn Rich]
[center] [h3][color=ed145b]Amity Bellerose[/color][/h3] [/center][h3][color=fff79a]10:00PM[/color][/h3]
The idol sighed as she and her friend walked to the front door of [url=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KcvVhmv9Tj4/U6oswYsGHpI/AAAAAAAABZM/Zog0vZIUUkg/s1600/colleyville+tx+french+castle+estate+million+dollar+listing+home+luxury+mansion.jpg] her estate[/url]. She was grateful the taxi man brought them to the front of the house rather than the front of the gate... that would have been terrible and tedious. The party probably already started the club music to kill the rest of the time until the New Year. Her right hand went up to touch her lips, thinking about Shou and a New Years kiss... her body shivered with just the thought. But no. She had to ruin it by a taser. Though, she wouldn't have changed her actions for the world. 

Amity would have to write Shou a letter and apologize for leaving. She hoped he didn't find out about the incident.

[i][color=ed145b]I just really wanted pictures...[/color][/i]

Grabbing her own set of keys, she unlocked the door. Before the door was pushed open, the idol turned to her friend, [color=ed145b]"All the servants are off for the night or in the Guest House having their own little party, so it's just you, me, and this big ass house."[/color]

Once the door was open, her mansion was in complete darkness- which wasn't a usual sight. Silence filled the large building. Clapping her hands, the lights switched on blaring at them. Her house was like a incomprehensible [url=http://www.previewsinsideout.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/MH-Gold-Room-Gavin-Ashworth_BLOG.jpg] masterpiece[/url]. Liam knew what made the idol feel most at home, which was art. The ceiling was painted of some well-known art pieces and the mansion's architecture on the inside was extremely intricate. The idol liked to mislead people so no one would expect that this would be the interior of her estate. Her estate exterior was modern and simple, while the interior was full of history and art. Sure, it was a bit of her parents' fortune but that's the least they could do for her since they were never around. 

[color=ed145b]"Alright, go borrow Liam's trunks. I'll meet you under[/color] [url= http://www.torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/0717drake2.jpg] the cave[/url] [url=http://static1.therichestimages.com/cdn/568/377/90/cw/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/drake-hidden-hills-new-mansion-12.jpg] out back[/url]~" She didn't realize how sexual her words could be interpreted but then again, Amity was always a bit oblivious. Past the cave/pool area was acres of [url=http://c767204.r4.cf2.rackcdn.com/269cf2bf-2c23-4d4b-bc6c-94fdd7e39735.jpg] garden[/url] and nature to get lost in. The [url=http://www.exoticexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/19.5-Million-Stylish-Ocean-to-Intracoastal-Mansion-in-Florida.jpg] guest house[/url] was near the [url=http://www.creativegazebos.com/images/productImages/WoodVictorian1.jpg] Gazebo[/url] if she wasn't mistaken. 

The idol scurried upstairs to get her [url=http://image.rakuten.co.jp/touhuzi/cabinet/02606280/02803485/02929352/img58724982.jpg] swimwear[/url] on. After she finished changing, she went to her [url=http://homesoftherich.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/bar.jpg] inside bar[/url] (because she had one inside and outside), which was in the basement by her [url=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n0eWQH21ugQ/Ulr5xKYE6EI/AAAAAAAAasQ/gJ-jjvG81o0/s1600/Perfect_Modern_Mansion_in_Beverly_Hills_on_world_of_architecture_18.jpg] home theater[/url] and her game room, which had two [url=http://www.theplancollection.com/admin/CKeditorUploads/Images/BowlingAlley.jpg] bowling lanes[/url], a [url=http://cdn.decoist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/rustic-rec-room-with-pool-table.jpg] pool table with a fireplace[/url] near by, and other fun, classy games like a poker table and foosball! Surprisingly enough, the closest thing Amity had to any sort of video games/arcade was her computer in her bedroom and even then she did not game. The idol has never been to an arcade, mostly due to Liam believing games would rut her brain. She was, however, a movie fanatic. 

Going to the bar, she looked at all the alcohol choices. Uhhhhhhhh.... where was Rupert when you needed him? She went to grab a big bag and started placing random drinks inside. 

[i][color=ed145b]I guess, I'll grab the rum, the vodka, the gin, the whiskey, maybe some juices to go with them... [/color][/i]

The bag was getting really heavy. 

[i][color=ed145b]Alright... I think this is good...[/color][/i] 

She slowly made her way to the cave. When she arrived, Kyle wasn't there yet. Maybe he was getting them snacks and food from the [url=http://www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com/images/stories/april11/21_mill_kitchen.png] kitchen[/url]? Putting the drinks down, she went to her [url=http://www.architectureartdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/61.jpeg] outside bar[/url] and got glasses (they hadn't stocked the outside bar yet with drinks). She decided to be a dork and grab her [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/11/91/66/119166b2c9b261be61ea4ef007d026ca.jpg] Renaissance goblets[/url]... yes, Amity has been to a Renaissance fair, quite a few times actually. She's even been to DARK AGE TIMES! She loved the knight shows and the food! These goblets were pretty hefty - fit for Kings! 

Once she returned to the Jacuzzi, she began laying out the bottles on the rim so her and Kyle could make drinks while they were in the warm water. Amity made herself a mix of peach rum and ice tea. She'd let Kyle choose his own poison.[hr][center] [h3][color=LimeGreen]Kyle Parker[/color][/h3] [/center]
The ride back to Amity's estate wasn't too bad, though Kyle could tell she was uncomfortable travelling in such, if he had to put a word to it, 'peasantry'. They used the rest of the money to pay the cabbie and then some, making him a very happy man on New Year's Eve, the man gratefully bringing the two to front door of the mansion before driving off.  They entered, Amity explaining that it would just be the two of them that evening before telling him to get swimming trunks from Liam's room upstairs.  They climbed the stairs and they split, Amity going to her room, and Kyle going to Liam's, leaving him to his thoughts.  Her words were certainly...implicative, though he'd sobered enough by then to not think too strongly on them, she was his best friend, nothing more, and the two of them were going to have a good night together, nothing more.

Entering Liam's room, he found his clothing placed on the dresser and neatly folded, he'd have to grab those later.  For now though, he began rifling through the drawers, finding a simple pair of black [url=http://slimages.macysassets.com/is/image/MCY/products/9/optimized/2740499_fpx.tif?01AD=3AvsAJJznemiei_YoN_KqYsO53MCh2w31lseuAoRH7GY1lsBA2O-yaA&01RI=8A4B2869CB00C4C&01NA=&wid=1320&hei=1616&fit=fit,1&$filterlrg$]swim trunks[/url], something he could always rely on Liam about, was that his wardrobe was fairly simple and consistent.  Stripping himself down, he rolled up the shirt and pants placing them on the dresser, his boxers went on top of his clothing and he pulled the trunks on him.  Exiting the room, he didn't see Amity anywhere and decided to make his way to the kitchen so he could grab a platter or serving tray or something for their snackage.

The size of the kitchen was unbelievable and the way the lights reflected off of the marble almost made the room look like a living kaleidoscope, truly it looked beautiful and already he could tell this house was way nicer than the one back in the States. He grabbed a tray and placed on it the bag of snacks, he didn't need to waste using any bowls or anything like that, the bags being the perfect container already.  The food mostly consisted of junk stuff, chips and doritos, hohos and devil dogs, a couple boxes of pocky sticks, Amie's gummy bears and of course their containers of ice cream, plus a couple of spoons. There was a bottle of coke in the fridge that he snagged too, rum and coke was always a tasty combination plus...a lemon and a handheld juicer, he could make use of that.

The tray now full he was flabbergasted at how huge the backyard was, there was a guest house off in the distance, Amity giving him a couple of points of reference to help him find her in this huge place.  He started walking down the pathway off towards that direction, it wasn't until he reached the cave area she had mentioned that he was truly blown away, he had been in Amity's hottubs and jacuzzis before, but nothing compared to how nice this one even looked.

He whistled low, [color=LimeGreen]"I guess I hadn't realized just how big this place was,"[/color] he set the food next to the nice display of alcohol she had set up and stared at the two goblets, [color=LimeGreen]"So I guess we're playing the role of nobility tonight then?"[/color] he chuckled.  He started looking through the collection of bottles, gin, vodka, tequila, triple sec, simple syrup...and of course a nice fresh bottle of 151, thank god he brought that lemon.  He frowned however when he realized there was something missing, [color=LimeGreen]"Now this won't do..."[/color] he walked over to the bar area and pulled out two normal sized shot glasses and one nice big [url=http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/618%2BNHvhLOL._SX425_.jpg]double shot glass[/url], he also grabbed a cocktail mixer, he'd need that for his 'juice'.

He first juiced the lemon, careful to remove any seeds and pulp from it before tossing it into the mixer, then proceeded to add the other alcoholic drinks and the simple syrup, two parts non-alcohol to one part alcohol, using the shot glass as a measuring device before quickly rinsing it out and adding ice to the mixture.  A few shakes of it and he poured the cocktail into the goblet, raising it up he proclaimed, [color=LimeGreen]"There, a nice full goblet of 'ye olde Cronk juice',"[/color] and took a sip of it, the alcohol was strong, but the flavor was tasty. He then got into the jacuzzi, the nice warm water bubbling up underneath him, his back placed firmly against the water jets as it propelled itself against him, he was in heaven and it had been far too long since he'd done anything like this with the pop idol.

[color=LimeGreen]"When was the last time we actually did this, sit down and relax with each other?"[/color] He asked taking another sip.  He'd pace himself now, being in his friend's presence, though by the end of the night he was expecting that this wouldn't be his only drink and that he'd get far, FAR drunker.
