A warm fire was flickering in the fireplace. Dwayne sat on a couch with Tammy sipping cocoa and relaxing. Dwayne was glad that they had a chance to be alone for once. Due to school and all of the craziness, time together was fleeting. Nobody had bugged him for a while and he was looking forward to spending an evening with his girlfriend.
Tammy smiled and snuggled up to Dwayne. She kissed him on his neck and Dwayne groaned low in his throat, kissing her on the neck before meeting at her soft lips. Their tongues fenced with each other with reckless abandon. This continued for a while when the phone in the living room at Tammy's house started to ring.
Dwayne groaned and said, "Let the machine pick it up." Tammy kissed Dwayne softly and jumped off the couch to answer the phone.
Angela said, "Hello, Tammy."
Tammy replied wearily, "What the fuck do you want?" Angela replied, "PD said that you two need to come here."
Tammy said, "The world is in danger, right?"
Angela said, "No, but there's an interesting package here for him."
Tammy replied with scorn, "A package? Big whoop."
Angela replied with some annoyance, "If that isn't good enough for you, you two forgot about the charity function PD and DP are having here tonight. Both of you have to attend."
Tammy said, "You like to annoy me, don't you?"
Angela said, "No, I'm just telling you what's going on."
Tammy yelled, "Fuck you! I still don't trust you."
Angela's hand gripped the phone hard as she kept her temper in check. Angela said, "I'll see you two in a while." Angela hung up the phone. Tammy slammed the phone down in rage.
Dwayne watched this display and shook his head. Dwayne got up from the couch and said, "Tammy, you've got to stop berating her like that."
Tammy replied quietly, "Have you forgotten about what's she's done to us? She almost killed your grandmother and stabbed you in the stomach. She's given me this damn limp for life and who knows what else she's done in her life."
Dwayne replied, "I know, but we wouldn't be standing here if it wasn't for her actions last month."
"She could just be faking the nice girl bit to sell us out later."
Dwayne scoffed, "C'mon, God himself said that Angela has turned over a new leaf."
Tammy said, "Humans don't stay the way God wants them to be all of the time." Dwayne rolled his eyes in disgust. Tammy's blue eyes flashed in anger.
Tammy's frame shook in indignation as she said, "Okay, what about all of the time you spent with her over the past week?"
Dwayne said, "Somebody had to show her the ropes around Pegasus Pavillion."
Tammy said, "Creeper could've done that."
Dwayne snorted, "You know Creeper is too damn angry as it is."
Tammy replied angrily, "C'mon, she was a killer. She can take insults from a
computer."
"Angela is in a delicate emotional state right now. She's trying to change her mindset and adapt to different surroundings."
Tammy ploughed on. "Why were you with her when she was buying new clothes last week?"
Dwayne sighed, "Nobody else was available. PD and DP were out of town. You could have gone with her. I was just going with her because she wanted another person's opinion on clothes."
Tammy yelled. "Creeper told me you told came back happy as pigs in slop!" Dwayne's temper finally broke and he replied angrily, "Yeah, we were laughing which is more than I can say for us. We haven't laughed about anything recently."
Tammy snarled in response, "Forgive me if I can't be happy-go-lucky all the time."
"I was hoping this time alone would help ease your mind, but you're so paranoid about her."
Tammy pointed her finger in his face and said, "Damn right I'm paranoid. You can't be a good person after being a cold-blooded killer for 10 plus years."
Dwayne's voice lowered as he pleaded, "Give her a chance."
Tammy's voice turned cold as she replied, "I can't." Tammy looked at Dwayne's black eyes, eyes stoked in anger like the fire that blazed in the fireplace. Tammy saw that look and slapped him in the face.
Dwayne looked at her in befuddlement as he asked, "What was that for?"
Tammy responded, "For being so damn stupid."
Tammy stepped away from Dwayne, grabbed her coat and said, "We've got to go to Pegasus Pavillion. There's a special package for you and we have some charity party to attend tonight."
Tammy walked out of the living room and exited the house, slamming the door. Dwayne stood in the room and wondered just what the hell happened. He knew that they were both stressed out lately and Tammy had problems with Angela. He didn't know it was this bad though. Dwayne decided that they needed to calm down and work things out. Dwayne grabbed his leather jacket and locked up after Tammy, leaving the Grabek residence.
Both of them reached Pegasus Pavillion within a couple of seconds of each other.
Tammy looked at Dwayne and yelled, "YOU MAKE ME SICK!"
Dwayne said, "We need to calm down." Angela walked up to them and said, "C'mon, you two need to see this." Tammy calmed down with effort and walked toward the entrance to the underground compound.
Dwayne said, "Angela, I'm sorry about how she's acting toward you."
Angela smiled, "It's okay, let's go." Angela and Dwayne walked to the entrance of the compound.
The quartet entered and Creeper looked at them, along with PD and DP.
Tammy spat out, "No wise-ass remarks from you, what's wrong?"
Creeper replied, "Tammy, I'm a very intelligent computer. I've always believed that there wasn't life on other planets, but this has shot my theory straight to hell."
Dwayne said, "Well, show us already."
A package pod rose from the ground on a table. The pod itself was a modified hollowed out elongated Chinese missile. It was bigger in diameter than the SAM-I-AM missiles that were launched at the coral pieces. It was opened up and the explosive charges were removed. It had special navigational devices and a miniaturized "portal spawner" installed, and it also had its payload.
Tammy said, "Damn, a big missile. What's inside it?"
A holocube appeared in the hollowed space of the missile along with a letter addressed to Big Money from a thing called Wo'oof. The holocube was about the size of a 16 inch television, only much lighter. It's so precise that you'd think youu were looking at the "inside of the cube, but in reality it was the way the hologram was. "Inside" the cube, or rather it looked like inside a seemingly transparent cube, was Sekola, Sara, and the Pororos. Sekola had brownish fur, black around his eyes, and white fur around his mouth and nose,
with whiskers coming out. His face was like that of a raccoon, as were his ears. But he stood upright. His tail was slightly stiff (as male Ya'a Naomi tails can be, it's the female version that is ULTRA flexible). His feet each had five toes, all of equal length. Around his neck was a necklace of flowers, except for a stone amulet in the middle of it. Around his waist was a laari or sarong that was dark blue with many rainbow colored floral patterns on it. He had it tied much like male Samoans wore their lavalavas, what they called sarongs, except that he had to do it slightly differently to accommodate his tail, which appeared to come out of a "hole" in the back, which was actually the way the material was tied. Sara had bracelets made of leaves on her wrists. She was wearing an ula or lei around her neck, and she wore a bright orange with darker orange patterns lavalava or sarong which she wrapped around her body and tied the ends of it around her neck, Tahitian style, giving it the form of a kind of dress. On her feet she was wearing sandals. Her skin was a kind of "slightly tanned" color, and her hair was dark brown and very long, and she had a flower over one of her ears. With the pororos, they too were accurately represented in the cube. One of them, Mia'aou, had a cat like face but ears shaped like petals of flowers. Her eyes were bright blue, and her fur was yellow-greenish. She had four arms and two legs, like a pororo normally does. Her tail was like that of a cat but it had a "feathery waving fan" shape at the end. The second pororo was
Loookie, whose fur was fluorescent bluish-purple. Her eyes were glowing a bright green. Her ears were shaped like Irish clovers, as was the end of her tail that was otherwise spring-shaped. Her face was also catlike, and she wore a pearl necklace. Of course she two had six limbs. The final one of them was Woo'oof, who was slightly larger than the other two, and who was clearly described in
the letter. He had orange-brownish fur, and yellow eyes and a face like that of a bulldog. But his ears were trumpet-shaped, except with a zigzag edge. His tail was shaped like a cotton-ball at the end of a long tail. He also had six limbs like the other things they looked at.
Dwayne and Tammy looked at the holocube in shock.
Dwayne said, "I don't believe this."
Tammy said, "I agree. Didn't you tell me about these guys?"
Dwayne said, "Yeah, they're featured in a story called Sekola. Sekola is the raccoon-looking thing with the brown fur, Sara is the human, and his friends are called pororos."
PD commented, "You have some interesting friends."
Dwayne said, "I don't know them, I thought they were just made up."
Angela said, "Nope, they're real."
Tammy remarked snidely, "Brilliant observation, Ms, Sherlock Holmes."
Angela said, "Why can't you just calm down?"
Tammy said, "Whatever, what does the letter say, Dwayne." Dwayne walked up to the package pod and looked at the letter. Dwayne said, "It's from Woo'oof, my favorite guy out of the whole group. He's praising us for our skills in beating down the bad guys. He also says he is our biggest fan. Someone had to clean this up because he's not this articulate when he's speaking."
Tammy said, "Yeah, you said he's got issues."
Dwayne said, "He's just a bit slow, although when the time comes for action he comes through for them."
Angela remarked, "Cool." She walked up to the cube and turned it on its bottom. Angela's eyes widened and she said, "Everybody's naked."
Dwayne looked and groaned, "Damn, I didn't need to see that." Tammy said, "You better not be getting any ideas, Dwayne." Dwayne said, "Of course not, you're the one for me. Although I have to point out Sara is cute and all."
Tammy commented, "I'll let that pass."
PD said, "This is fascinating, but we have to get ready for out annual charity event, All About The Shine."
Tammy asked, "What kind of name is that for a party?"
DP answered, "One that shows our wealth and power. It also shows how different we are from other people."
PD smirked, "We have an A list group of celebrities coming here tonight. Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Love Hewitt, ODB, RZA, Tyra Banks, and other people will be here to give money for cancer research."
Dwayne asked, "Who's providing the music?"
DP responded, "DJ Baby Anne will be mixing for the night?"
Tammy chimed in, "You brought a bass DJ in here? Damn."
DP grinned, "Yep, anyway you guys have to get read. This is a black-tie event, so don't break out the flashy colors Dwayne."
Dwayne said, "Damn."
PD sighed, "Let's get going." Everyone left to get ready for the night.
Pegasus Pavillion was transformed from a relatively grand mansion into a spectacular mansion. Black and gold crepe paper hung all over the place. The crystal chandeliers shone brighter than usual and the Persian rugs were cleaned to a fine gloss. The living room was converted into a huge dance floor/dining room.
The music was thumping as Baby Anne mixed at the turntables. People were dancing to the bass as Tammy entered the dance floor wearing a long red dress with kid gloves, a golden necklace, and a matching necklace. Her hair was coiffed in a simple bun. Tammy walked over to the refreshment table and got herself a glass of punch. She watched Dwayne talk to ODB and RZA. ODB actually looked clean with a trim beard, glasses, combed hair and a black Armani tuxedo. Dwayne looked good in a black Hugo Boss suit with the Pimp Cane polished up. Tammy had her cane ready, shrunken to fit in her purse. ODB's friend, the RZA was in a charcoal gray tuxedo. Tammy had never seen him in person, but she thought that he looked very trim with glasses and a mustache. She decided to walk over to Dwayne and company, thinking that RZA couldn't be as bad as ODB.
RZA looked at Tammy as she started to walk toward them and said to Dwayne, "Who is that, dun?"
Dwayne smiled and said, "That's my girl, Tammy."
RZA whistled, "Good choice." ODB muttered, "Your woman needs to know her place, man."
Dwayne smirked, "I hear that."
Tammy didn't hear this exchange as she reached the group.
Tammy smiled and said, "Hi, Dwayne. Hello, ODB and RZA." ODB and RZA replied to Tammy in kind.
Tammy asked, "Can I talk to you, sweetie?"
Dwayne said, "Sure."
Dwayne and Tammy started to walk away, but RZA asked, "Tammy, can I ask you something?" Tammy smiled, thinking that RZA seemed to be okay. The blond answered, "Sure, RZA."
RZA commented, "My latest boo doesn't give me feedback on my sex technique, so could you give me a female opinion on what the problem is?"
Tammy's face mottled in rage and she said, "I thought ODB was bad. I'm going to..."
Dwayne pulled her back and said to RZA, "Don't say shit like that to her. I thought ODB would've told you about that."
RZA said, "I'm sorry, boo."
Tammy calmed down slightly and she replied, "Apology accepted, now let's go Dwayne." Dwayne and Tammy left the dance hall.
Angela Rogers sighed as another man tried to ask her out. Angela politely declined his advances and sipped on her glass of champagne. She couldn't blame the guys for hitting on her. She didn't consider herself vain, but she had to admit that she looked good in her silver sequined dress with matching hells and diamond earrings. Her long black hair was specially curled for this event.
However, Angela didn't feel fulfilled tonight because too much was on her mind.
Angela sat down and thought about Dwayne and Tammy. She could see the strain they were under in the short time since she'd been at Pegasus Pavillion. She was sure that she was a big part of their problem. Angela still couldn't get Tammy to trust her. Hell, she still had some leftover ire towards Tammy. The big brand on her back galled her. But the thing that troubled her the most was what she was feeling inside. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes. Angela wiped her eyes and decided to finally admit to herself what the problem was. She was starting to fall in love with Dwayne. She didn't know how or when it started, but there it was, building in her heart like a small fire. It was just the way she acted around her. Dwayne was just so full of life and vitality. Sure, he talked a lot of smack but that didn't matter because he made her feel a lot better about herself. Dwayne helped her cope with the pain she was going through. However, she couldn't act on her feelings to be with Dwayne because he and Tammy were engaged. Angela sighed and thought that she didn't know how much longer she could hold out.
Someone tapped Angela on the shoulder. Angela looked up with red eyes at Jennifer Love Hewitt, who was ravishing in a white dress along with a pearl necklace.
Jennifer asked, "What's wrong?"
Angela smiled bitterly and answered, "Everything is just peachy, Love."
Jennifer flashed her megawatt smile and said, "Cheer up, everything will be okay."
Angela asked, "How do you know?"
Jennifer replied, "I know, do you want to talk to me about what's troubling you?"
Angela shrugged and answered, "Okay." Jennifer sat down beside her and put her arms around her in a comforting hug.
PD and DP were standing away from the dancing in a black Armani tuxedo and a light gray suit respectively. They watched everyone dancing or talking quietly.
PD remarked, "Another success for us, DP."
DP smiled and said, "Of course, and we raised 500,000 for cancer research." PD smiled and said, "I'm glad to be alive, man."
"Same here. I wonder where Tammy and Dwayne went."
PD shrugged, "They probably went somewhere to talk."
DP sighed, "I hope they work things out."
"They will, DP."
Dwayne and Tammy were sitting on a big chair on the patio. They had yelled and screamed at each other, but they finally managed to work out their problems. Dwayne got up off the chair and held his hand out to Tammy. Tammy took his hand and the two danced to their own music.
Dwayne whispered in her ear, "Let's go to Tiger Creek next weekend."
Tammy said, "Great, some time alone with you so that I can have my way with you."
"That's the idea." D
wayne tilted her head to his and kissed her gently on the lips. Tammy melted into his arms and returned the kiss with increased ardor. An explosion boomed in the distance. Tammy and Dwayne broke away from their embrace and immediately transformed into Big Money and Silk.
Big Money growled, "Who the fuck is this? No one is supposed to get in here."
Silk shrugged, "Let's go." Big Money and Silk ran toward the source of the explosion, the dance hall.
Big Money and Silk reached the dance hall and saw people strewn all over the place either unconscious or near death. Rubble was spread all over the place. ODB, RZA, Angela, PD, DP, and Jennifer Love Hewitt were still standing as Storm and a big army of thugs were standing in front of them. Storm now wore a patch over one eye and his body was scarred from the energy blasts delivered by
Big Money and Angela.
Storm smiled evilly at Jennifer as Angela said, "You can't have her, Storm."
Storm smirked and remarked, "I remember you saying that to me once. But you succumbed to me." White energy flashed in Angela's hands as PD yelled, "HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?"
Storm scoffed "You need better defense, buddy. I'm too damn good for that shit you've installed."
DP hissed, "You have a lot of nerve coming in here and ruining this party. The police will be here and even they won't manage to screw this up."
Storm responded, "You guys won't be around long enough for the police to catch us. Where are Big Money and the slut?"
Big Money blasted away a section of Storm's army and said, "Hi, El Captain." Storm snarled and said, "Spread out and attack!"
A swarm of Golden Glocks surrounded PD, DP, RZA, and ODB. ODB pulled out a 40 ounce bottle and drunk it. ODB started to sway drunkenly and a Golden Glock attacked. ODB shrugged off the punch and opened his mouth, shooting fire at the thug. The fire burned the thug's face and the thug screamed in pain as ODB tripped him and elbowed him in the stomach. ODB bellowed and the battle began in earnest.
Jennifer stood beside Angela as Storm ran up to them.
Angela asked Jennifer, "What are you doing? Get out of here!"
Jennifer said, "I'm not leaving you yet." Storm stood in front of the women and smiled, saying "I'm going to enjoy killing Angela and fucking you to death, Jennifer. I bet Carson Daly couldn't do it like I can."
Angela said sardonically, "You've got that right."
Jennifer turned on the smile again and said in a husky voice, "I'm sure you can show me a good time."
Storm said, "I don't want to brag on anything." Jennifer's smile brightened even more as she said, "Could you bend over so I can tell you something?" Stormm bent over and Jennifer knee him in the groin.
As Storm fell to the ground, Jennifer snarled, "Fuck you!" and ran out of the room.
Angela kicked him in the ribs, "You manage to even piss off someone like Ms. Hewitt. Angela picked him up and cracked him in the jaw, hands blazing with energy.
Storm fell to the ground as Angela said, "For that and other offenses, you must die."
Storm got up and commented, "Don't sing it, bring it." Angela rushed out at Storm.
Big Money and Silk were swarmed on by a seething mass of Golden Glocks. They weren't that skilled, but their numbers made up for that deficiency. Big Money had a black eye, bruised ribs, and a sore right leg. Silk's ribs were sore as well, along with a cut lip and a sore jaw.
Big Money yelled, "There's too many of them. Silk, jump on my shoulders and loosen those chandeliers above us."
Silk pushed away two thugs and jumped on his shoulders. Silk flew high into the air and turned his cane into a dagger. Silk threw the knife at the cables holding the chandeliers. The cables upon impact and Big Money dodged the falling chandeliers. 3 chandeliers crashed down on the thugs as Silk landed on the ground. She caught the knife and it turned back into the Pimp Cane.
Big Money said, "Cool. PD, DP and the Wu-Tang members are doing okay. Let's help Angela." Big Money and Silk ran toward Angela and Storm.
PD and the rest were mowing down the opposition. ODB's drunken karate techniques were upsetting to the Golden Glocks. RZA just took it to the streets and PD and DP used their superpowers to overcome the odds. Two men were left to fight them. The men looked at each other and ran away as fast as their legs could carry them.
RZA said in a gravelly voice, "Those two were smart."
PD said, "Yeah. ODB, where did you learn drunken karate?" ODB shrugged and said, "You learn a lot in Brooklyn, nigga."
RZA asked, "What's with you two?"
PD and DP replied in unison, "It's a secret."
PD commented, "Gentleman, it's time to help out our friends." PD and DP ran
over to join the battle between Angela, Silk, Big Money and Storm.
Storm summoned an energy blast and flattened Angela. Storm was bleeding from the lip, his ribs were cracked and he felt like he went through a meat grinder. Storm was pleased that his adversaries weren't feeling much better. Big Money could barely stand and Silk was down on one knee.
Storm snarled, "I have superpowers too, bitch. Thank the fine doctors for the Golden Glocks." Silk got up and delivered an energy-enhanced snap kick to Storm's ribs. More bones snapped as Storm fell to one knee clutching his ribs. Big Money kneed him in the mouth and a couple of teeth flew out of Storm's mouth. PD and DP entered the fray.
PD and DP looked at each and said, "Time for Storm to go on LOCKDOWN!" The duo exploded in silver fire and battered Storm with kicks and punches. When the duo exhausted themselves from beating Storm senseless, Storm laid on the ground in a bloody heap.
Storm said quietly, "It's not over." By this point, Angela had gotten up and lunged at Storm. Storm closed his eyes and disappeared in a flash of light. Angela grasped at air and fell to the ground, holding her ribs.
Jennifer stepped into the room when she saw that the danger had passed. Jennifer walked over to Angela and held her in her arms. As she held Angela, Angela's injuries started to heal.
Angela commented, "You're an angel, aren't you?" Jennifer whispered, "Yeah, I'm an angel."
When Angela's injuries were fully healed, Jennifer stood up and said, "Nobody saw anything, did they?"
All said, "We didn't see anything." Police sirens blared through the air.
PD said in disgust, "Now they come here when everything is over." DP said,
"Would they have done any better than us?"
PD said, "No, but manpower couldn't hurt. Anyway, this is going to be a bitch for our PR."
ODB chimed in, "Just say shit happened like this was The Source Awards."
DP said, "That'll work." Jennifer said, "Time for me to go."
Angela looked at Jennifer and asked, "Will I see you again?"
Jennifer said, "Count on it. Just remember what I said, Angela. Oh and if you guys are in L.A., look me up."
Big Money commented, "We will." Jennifer walked up to Big Money and whispered, "Bye, Dwayne."
Big Money asked, "How did you know?"
Jennifer smiled, "Let's just say a special person you miss dearly told me." Big Money commented replied, "I see." Jennifer walked out of the room.
ODB remarked, "This shit reminded me of the Brooklyn Zoo, dun."
RZA commented, "Yeah, it did. I hope next year's party doesn't turn out like
this."
PD said with a rueful grin, "You and me both. Thanks for the assistance." ODB said, "No problem and ya'll don't have to worry about us blowing your cover." ODB and RZA left the room.
Big Money shook his head and commented, "Nothing's easy, is it?"
Angela sighed and, "No, it isn't." The police questioned the five heroes and soon all of the bodies were cleared out. Amazingly, there weren't a lot of casualties in all of the fighting. There were about 300 guests and 50 people died, most of them Golden Glocks with a few partygoers mixed in there.
Angela dropped off to sleep at 4 in the morning, thinking about her meeting with Jennifer Love Hewitt. Jennifer truly fit her middle name by giving love to someone she barely knew. Tammy and Dwayne fell asleep in each other's arms, at peace with themselves.

Author's Notes
Umm, the Jennifer Love Hewitt thing is funny because she was on my mind. I saw one of those diaries things on her on MTV and she just stuck in my mind. The ODB drunken thing was just something I'd think he'd do if he could in real life, :) The argument between Tammy and Dwayne in the beginning was there because I wannted to give them some kind o conflict. Every couple has to argue once in a while. Angela's feelings for Dwayne also set up future difficulties for them and
potentially cause problems for PD and DP because they're a team. I originally wanted this party to be an ign't Player's Ball, but I just couldn't get silly enough to write it. Maybe I'll do it as a side story.
To Ra'akone, I hope I made the holocube thing good and now it's set up for them to meet up in a later installment. The next chapter will have Dwayne and Tammy at Tiger Creek, a mountain resort in NY. Something will happen to them. That's it and in parting I wish you
Peace, love, and hair grease

A warm fire was flickering in the fireplace. Dwayne sat on a couch with Tammy sipping cocoa and relaxing. Dwayne was glad that they had a chance to be alone for once.

Tammy's frame shook in indignation as she said, "Okay, what about all of the time you spent with her over the past week?"
Dwayne said, "Somebody had to show her the ropes around Pegasus Pavillion."
Tammy said, "Creeper could've done that."
Dwayne snorted, "You know Creeper is too damn angry as it is."
Tammy replied angrily, "C'mon, she was a killer. She can take insults from a
computer."
"Angela is in a delicate emotional state right now. She's trying to change her mindset and adapt to different surroundings."
Tammy ploughed on. "Why were you with her when she was buying new clothes last week?"
Dwayne sighed, "Nobody else was available. PD and DP were out of town. You could have gone with her. I was just going with her because she wanted another person's opinion on clothes."

"I was hoping this time alone would help ease your mind, but you're so paranoid about her."
Tammy pointed her finger in his face and said, "Damn right I'm paranoid. You can't be a good person after being a cold-blooded killer for 10 plus years."
Dwayne's voice lowered as he pleaded, "Give her a chance."
Tammy's voice turned cold as she replied, "I can't." Tammy looked at Dwayne's black eyes, eyes stoked in anger like the fire that blazed in the fireplace. Tammy saw that look and slapped him in the face.
Dwayne looked at her in befuddlement as he asked, "What was that for?"
Tammy responded, "For being so damn stupid."
Tammy stepped away from Dwayne, grabbed her coat and said, "We've got to go to Pegasus Pavillion. There's a special package for you and we have some charity party to attend tonight."
Tammy walked out of the living room and exited the house, slamming the door. Dwayne stood in the room and wondered just what the hell happened.

Dwayne said, "Well, show us already."
A package pod rose from the ground on a table. The pod itself was a modified hollowed out elongated Chinese missile. It was bigger in diameter than the SAM-I-AM missiles that were launched at the coral pieces. It was opened up and the explosive charges were removed. It had special navigational devices and a miniaturized "portal spawner" installed, and it also had its payload.
Tammy said, "Damn, a big missile. What's inside it?"
A holocube appeared in the hollowed space of the missile along with a letter addressed to Big Money from a thing called Wo'oof. The holocube was about the size of a 16 inch television, only much lighter. It's so precise that you'd think youu were looking at the "inside of the cube, but in reality it was the way the hologram was. "Inside" the cube, or rather it looked like inside a seemingly transparent cube, was Sekola, Sara, and the Pororos. Sekola had brownish fur, black around his eyes, and white fur around his mouth and nose,
with whiskers coming out. His face was like that of a raccoon, as were his ears. But he stood upright. His tail was slightly stiff (as male Ya'a Naomi tails can be, it's the female version that is ULTRA flexible). His feet each had five toes, all of equal length. Around his neck was a necklace of flowers, except for a stone amulet in the middle of it. Around his waist was a laari or sarong that was dark blue with many rainbow colored floral patterns on it. He had it tied much like male Samoans wore their lavalavas, what they called sarongs, except that he had to do it slightly differently to accommodate his tail, which appeared to come out of a "hole" in the back, which was actually the way the material was tied. Sara had bracelets made of leaves on her wrists. She was wearing an ula or lei around her neck, and she wore a bright orange with darker orange patterns lavalava or sarong which she wrapped around her body and tied the ends of it around her neck, Tahitian style, giving it the form of a kind of dress. On her feet she was wearing sandals. Her skin was a kind of "slightly tanned" color, and her hair was dark brown and very long, and she had a flower over one of her ears. With the pororos, they too were accurately represented in the cube. One of them, Mia'aou, had a cat like face but ears shaped like petals of flowers. Her eyes were bright blue, and her fur was yellow-greenish. She had four arms and two legs, like a pororo normally does. Her tail was like that of a cat but it had a "feathery waving fan" shape at the end. The second pororo was
Loookie, whose fur was fluorescent bluish-purple. Her eyes were glowing a bright green. Her ears were shaped like Irish clovers, as was the end of her tail that was otherwise spring-shaped. Her face was also catlike, and she wore a pearl necklace. Of course she two had six limbs. The final one of them was Woo'oof, who was slightly larger than the other two, and who was clearly described in
the letter. He had orange-brownish fur, and yellow eyes and a face like that of a bulldog. But his ears were trumpet-shaped, except with a zigzag edge. His tail was shaped like a cotton-ball at the end of a long tail. He also had six limbs like the other things they looked at.
Dwayne and Tammy looked at the holocube in shock.
Dwayne said, "I don't believe this."
Tammy said, "I agree. Didn't you tell me about these guys?"
Dwayne said, "Yeah, they're featured in a story called Sekola. Sekola is the raccoon-looking thing with the brown fur, Sara is the human, and his friends are called pororos."
PD commented, "You have some interesting friends."
Dwayne said, "I don't know them, I thought they were just made up."
Angela said, "Nope, they're real."
Tammy remarked snidely, "Brilliant observation, Ms, Sherlock Holmes."
Angela said, "Why can't you just calm down?"
Tammy said, "Whatever, what does the letter say, Dwayne." Dwayne walked up to the package pod and looked at the letter. Dwayne said, "It's from Woo'oof, my favorite guy out of the whole group. He's praising us for our skills in beating down the bad guys. He also says he is our biggest fan. Someone had to clean this up because he's not this articulate when he's speaking."
Tammy said, "Yeah, you said he's got issues."
Dwayne said, "He's just a bit slow, although when the time comes for action he comes through for them."
Angela remarked, "Cool." She walked up to the cube and turned it on its bottom. Angela's eyes widened and she said, "Everybody's naked."
Dwayne looked and groaned, "Damn, I didn't need to see that." Tammy said, "You better not be getting any ideas, Dwayne." Dwayne said, "Of course not, you're the one for me. Although I have to point out Sara is cute and all."
Tammy commented, "I'll let that pass."
PD said, "This is fascinating, but we have to get ready for out annual charity event, All About The Shine."
Tammy asked, "What kind of name is that for a party?"
DP answered, "One that shows our wealth and power. It also shows how different we are from other people."
PD smirked, "We have an A list group of celebrities coming here tonight. Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Love Hewitt, ODB, RZA, Tyra Banks, and other people will be here to give money for cancer research."
Dwayne asked, "Who's providing the music?"
DP responded, "DJ Baby Anne will be mixing for the night?"
Tammy chimed in, "You brought a bass DJ in here? Damn."
DP grinned, "Yep, anyway you guys have to get read. This is a black-tie event, so don't break out the flashy colors Dwayne."
Dwayne said, "Damn."
PD sighed, "Let's get going." Everyone left to get ready for the night.
Pegasus Pavillion was transformed from a relatively grand mansion into a spectacular mansion. Black and gold crepe paper hung all over the place. The crystal chandeliers shone brighter than usual and the Persian rugs were cleaned to a fine gloss. The living room was converted into a huge dance floor/dining room.
The music was thumping as Baby Anne mixed at the turntables. People were dancing to the bass as Tammy entered the dance floor wearing a long red dress with kid gloves, a golden necklace, and a matching necklace. Her hair was coiffed in a simple bun. Tammy walked over to the refreshment table and got herself a glass of punch. She watched Dwayne talk to ODB and RZA. ODB actually looked clean with a trim beard, glasses, combed hair and a black Armani tuxedo. Dwayne looked good in a black Hugo Boss suit with the Pimp Cane polished up. Tammy had her cane ready, shrunken to fit in her purse. ODB's friend, the RZA was in a charcoal gray tuxedo. Tammy had never seen him in person, but she thought that he looked very trim with glasses and a mustache. She decided to walk over to Dwayne and company, thinking that RZA couldn't be as bad as ODB.
RZA looked at Tammy as she started to walk toward them and said to Dwayne, "Who is that, dun?"
Dwayne smiled and said, "That's my girl, Tammy."
RZA whistled, "Good choice." ODB muttered, "Your woman needs to know her place, man."
Dwayne smirked, "I hear that."
Tammy didn't hear this exchange as she reached the group.
Tammy smiled and said, "Hi, Dwayne. Hello, ODB and RZA." ODB and RZA replied to Tammy in kind.
Tammy asked, "Can I talk to you, sweetie?"
Dwayne said, "Sure."
Dwayne and Tammy started to walk away, but RZA asked, "Tammy, can I ask you something?" Tammy smiled, thinking that RZA seemed to be okay. The blond answered, "Sure, RZA."
RZA commented, "My latest boo doesn't give me feedback on my sex technique, so could you give me a female opinion on what the problem is?"
Tammy's face mottled in rage and she said, "I thought ODB was bad. I'm going to..."
Dwayne pulled her back and said to RZA, "Don't say shit like that to her. I thought ODB would've told you about that."
RZA said, "I'm sorry, boo."
Tammy calmed down slightly and she replied, "Apology accepted, now let's go Dwayne." Dwayne and Tammy left the dance hall.
Angela Rogers sighed as another man tried to ask her out. Angela politely declined his advances and sipped on her glass of champagne. She couldn't blame the guys for hitting on her. She didn't consider herself vain, but she had to admit that she looked good in her silver sequined dress with matching hells and diamond earrings. Her long black hair was specially curled for this event.
However, Angela didn't feel fulfilled tonight because too much was on her mind.
Angela sat down and thought about Dwayne and Tammy. She could see the strain they were under in the short time since she'd been at Pegasus Pavillion. She was sure that she was a big part of their problem. Angela still couldn't get Tammy to trust her. Hell, she still had some leftover ire towards Tammy. The big brand on her back galled her. But the thing that troubled her the most was what she was feeling inside. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes. Angela wiped her eyes and decided to finally admit to herself what the problem was. She was starting to fall in love with Dwayne. She didn't know how or when it started, but there it was, building in her heart like a small fire. It was just the way she acted around her. Dwayne was just so full of life and vitality. Sure, he talked a lot of smack but that didn't matter because he made her feel a lot better about herself. Dwayne helped her cope with the pain she was going through. However, she couldn't act on her feelings to be with Dwayne because he and Tammy were engaged. Angela sighed and thought that she didn't know how much longer she could hold out.
Someone tapped Angela on the shoulder. Angela looked up with red eyes at Jennifer Love Hewitt, who was ravishing in a white dress along with a pearl necklace.
Jennifer asked, "What's wrong?"
Angela smiled bitterly and answered, "Everything is just peachy, Love."
Jennifer flashed her megawatt smile and said, "Cheer up, everything will be okay."
Angela asked, "How do you know?"
Jennifer replied, "I know, do you want to talk to me about what's troubling you?"
Angela shrugged and answered, "Okay." Jennifer sat down beside her and put her arms around her in a comforting hug.
PD and DP were standing away from the dancing in a black Armani tuxedo and a light gray suit respectively. They watched everyone dancing or talking quietly.
PD remarked, "Another success for us, DP."
DP smiled and said, "Of course, and we raised 500,000 for cancer research." PD smiled and said, "I'm glad to be alive, man."
"Same here. I wonder where Tammy and Dwayne went."
PD shrugged, "They probably went somewhere to talk."
DP sighed, "I hope they work things out."
"They will, DP."
Dwayne and Tammy were sitting on a big chair on the patio. They had yelled and screamed at each other, but they finally managed to work out their problems. Dwayne got up off the chair and held his hand out to Tammy. Tammy took his hand and the two danced to their own music.
Dwayne whispered in her ear, "Let's go to Tiger Creek next weekend."
Tammy said, "Great, some time alone with you so that I can have my way with you."
"That's the idea." D
wayne tilted her head to his and kissed her gently on the lips. Tammy melted into his arms and returned the kiss with increased ardor. An explosion boomed in the distance. Tammy and Dwayne broke away from their embrace and immediately transformed into Big Money and Silk.
Big Money growled, "Who the fuck is this? No one is supposed to get in here."
Silk shrugged, "Let's go." Big Money and Silk ran toward the source of the explosion, the dance hall.
Big Money and Silk reached the dance hall and saw people strewn all over the place either unconscious or near death. Rubble was spread all over the place. ODB, RZA, Angela, PD, DP, and Jennifer Love Hewitt were still standing as Storm and a big army of thugs were standing in front of them. Storm now wore a patch over one eye and his body was scarred from the energy blasts delivered by
Big Money and Angela.
Storm smiled evilly at Jennifer as Angela said, "You can't have her, Storm."
Storm smirked and remarked, "I remember you saying that to me once. But you succumbed to me." White energy flashed in Angela's hands as PD yelled, "HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?"
Storm scoffed "You need better defense, buddy. I'm too damn good for that shit you've installed."
DP hissed, "You have a lot of nerve coming in here and ruining this party. The police will be here and even they won't manage to screw this up."
Storm responded, "You guys won't be around long enough for the police to catch us. Where are Big Money and the slut?"
Big Money blasted away a section of Storm's army and said, "Hi, El Captain." Storm snarled and said, "Spread out and attack!"
A swarm of Golden Glocks surrounded PD, DP, RZA, and ODB. ODB pulled out a 40 ounce bottle and drunk it. ODB started to sway drunkenly and a Golden Glock attacked. ODB shrugged off the punch and opened his mouth, shooting fire at the thug. The fire burned the thug's face and the thug screamed in pain as ODB tripped him and elbowed him in the stomach. ODB bellowed and the battle began in earnest.
Jennifer stood beside Angela as Storm ran up to them.
Angela asked Jennifer, "What are you doing? Get out of here!"
Jennifer said, "I'm not leaving you yet." Storm stood in front of the women and smiled, saying "I'm going to enjoy killing Angela and fucking you to death, Jennifer. I bet Carson Daly couldn't do it like I can."
Angela said sardonically, "You've got that right."
Jennifer turned on the smile again and said in a husky voice, "I'm sure you can show me a good time."
Storm said, "I don't want to brag on anything." Jennifer's smile brightened even more as she said, "Could you bend over so I can tell you something?" Stormm bent over and Jennifer knee him in the groin.
As Storm fell to the ground, Jennifer snarled, "Fuck you!" and ran out of the room.
Angela kicked him in the ribs, "You manage to even piss off someone like Ms. Hewitt. Angela picked him up and cracked him in the jaw, hands blazing with energy.
Storm fell to the ground as Angela said, "For that and other offenses, you must die."
Storm got up and commented, "Don't sing it, bring it." Angela rushed out at Storm.
Big Money and Silk were swarmed on by a seething mass of Golden Glocks. They weren't that skilled, but their numbers made up for that deficiency. Big Money had a black eye, bruised ribs, and a sore right leg. Silk's ribs were sore as well, along with a cut lip and a sore jaw.
Big Money yelled, "There's too many of them. Silk, jump on my shoulders and loosen those chandeliers above us."
Silk pushed away two thugs and jumped on his shoulders. Silk flew high into the air and turned his cane into a dagger. Silk threw the knife at the cables holding the chandeliers. The cables upon impact and Big Money dodged the falling chandeliers. 3 chandeliers crashed down on the thugs as Silk landed on the ground. She caught the knife and it turned back into the Pimp Cane.
Big Money said, "Cool. PD, DP and the Wu-Tang members are doing okay. Let's help Angela." Big Money and Silk ran toward Angela and Storm.
PD and the rest were mowing down the opposition. ODB's drunken karate techniques were upsetting to the Golden Glocks. RZA just took it to the streets and PD and DP used their superpowers to overcome the odds. Two men were left to fight them. The men looked at each other and ran away as fast as their legs could carry them.
RZA said in a gravelly voice, "Those two were smart."
PD said, "Yeah. ODB, where did you learn drunken karate?" ODB shrugged and said, "You learn a lot in Brooklyn, nigga."
RZA asked, "What's with you two?"
PD and DP replied in unison, "It's a secret."
PD commented, "Gentleman, it's time to help out our friends." PD and DP ran
over to join the battle between Angela, Silk, Big Money and Storm.
Storm summoned an energy blast and flattened Angela. Storm was bleeding from the lip, his ribs were cracked and he felt like he went through a meat grinder. Storm was pleased that his adversaries weren't feeling much better. Big Money could barely stand and Silk was down on one knee.
Storm snarled, "I have superpowers too, bitch. Thank the fine doctors for the Golden Glocks." Silk got up and delivered an energy-enhanced snap kick to Storm's ribs. More bones snapped as Storm fell to one knee clutching his ribs. Big Money kneed him in the mouth and a couple of teeth flew out of Storm's mouth. PD and DP entered the fray.
PD and DP looked at each and said, "Time for Storm to go on LOCKDOWN!" The duo exploded in silver fire and battered Storm with kicks and punches. When the duo exhausted themselves from beating Storm senseless, Storm laid on the ground in a bloody heap.
Storm said quietly, "It's not over." By this point, Angela had gotten up and lunged at Storm. Storm closed his eyes and disappeared in a flash of light. Angela grasped at air and fell to the ground, holding her ribs.
Jennifer stepped into the room when she saw that the danger had passed. Jennifer walked over to Angela and held her in her arms. As she held Angela, Angela's injuries started to heal.
Angela commented, "You're an angel, aren't you?" Jennifer whispered, "Yeah, I'm an angel."
When Angela's injuries were fully healed, Jennifer stood up and said, "Nobody saw anything, did they?"
All said, "We didn't see anything." Police sirens blared through the air.
PD said in disgust, "Now they come here when everything is over." DP said,
"Would they have done any better than us?"
PD said, "No, but manpower couldn't hurt. Anyway, this is going to be a bitch for our PR."
ODB chimed in, "Just say shit happened like this was The Source Awards."
DP said, "That'll work." Jennifer said, "Time for me to go."
Angela looked at Jennifer and asked, "Will I see you again?"
Jennifer said, "Count on it. Just remember what I said, Angela. Oh and if you guys are in L.A., look me up."
Big Money commented, "We will." Jennifer walked up to Big Money and whispered, "Bye, Dwayne."
Big Money asked, "How did you know?"
Jennifer smiled, "Let's just say a special person you miss dearly told me." Big Money commented replied, "I see." Jennifer walked out of the room.
ODB remarked, "This shit reminded me of the Brooklyn Zoo, dun."
RZA commented, "Yeah, it did. I hope next year's party doesn't turn out like
this."
PD said with a rueful grin, "You and me both. Thanks for the assistance." ODB said, "No problem and ya'll don't have to worry about us blowing your cover." ODB and RZA left the room.
Big Money shook his head and commented, "Nothing's easy, is it?"
Angela sighed and, "No, it isn't." The police questioned the five heroes and soon all of the bodies were cleared out. Amazingly, there weren't a lot of casualties in all of the fighting. There were about 300 guests and 50 people died, most of them Golden Glocks with a few partygoers mixed in there.
Angela dropped off to sleep at 4 in the morning, thinking about her meeting with Jennifer Love Hewitt. Jennifer truly fit her middle name by giving love to someone she barely knew. Tammy and Dwayne fell asleep in each other's arms, at peace with themselves.
End Ch. 11
Author's Notes
Umm, the Jennifer Love Hewitt thing is funny because she was on my mind. I saw one of those diaries things on her on MTV and she just stuck in my mind. The ODB drunken thing was just something I'd think he'd do if he could in real life, :) The argument between Tammy and Dwayne in the beginning was there because I wannted to give them some kind o conflict. Every couple has to argue once in a while. Angela's feelings for Dwayne also set up future difficulties for them and
potentially cause problems for PD and DP because they're a team. I originally wanted this party to be an ign't Player's Ball, but I just couldn't get silly enough to write it. Maybe I'll do it as a side story.
To Ra'akone, I hope I made the holocube thing good and now it's set up for them to meet up in a later installment. The next chapter will have Dwayne and Tammy at Tiger Creek, a mountain resort in NY. Something will happen to them. That's it and in parting I wish you
Peace, love, and hair grease
