An Adventure For Six: Chapter Two
The next morning Sarah was woken up by the sound of the front door being opened then closed. She got up slowly so she wouldn't wake Phil. Phil twitched slightly and whined in his sleep. She smiled at him and headed out of the room, bumping into Dan. "Oh, Dan. Glad you're back." she greeted awkwardly, trying not to mention what happened between him and Pj. Dan glared at her "Okay, I woke up in Pj's bed and we were both naked. Could you please explain that?" he hissed. Sarah bit her lip "We all got kind of drunk and played Spin The Bottle and when it landed on you and Pj you guys kind of carried away and had sex and we came here." she said quietly. Dan groaned and facepalmed "Shit... wait, we? Do you mean all of you?" he asked. Sarah nodded "I slept with Phil and Akana slept with Chris.". Dan stared at her "You absolute...you slept with Phil?!" he gasped. Sarah's eyes widened "Not in that way! We slept in the same bed, that's all! That's what happened with Akana and Chris too!" she said quickly. Dan sighed in relief "Thank god. I don't want any more one night stands." he said. Sarah nodded. Suddenly Phil's room door opened and Phil stepped out. He blushed when he saw Dan, then whispered something in Sarah's ear. Sarah sighed "Oh no..." she groaned.
"What?" Dan asked. "Phil says today is StickAid." Sarah answered. Dan facepalmed again "I completely forgot! And we need Chris and Pj to come with us! And-" he broke off, looking at Phil. "Phil." he said quietly "When are we supposed to be there?". Phil bit his lip "In an hour." he said. Dan sprung into action, knocking on his bedroom door "Chris! Akana! You two need to wake up now!" he yelled. He turned to Phil and ordered him to text Pj and ask him to go to the place StickAid was held. Then he asked Phil to go and sit in the driver seat of his car. Dan then went to straighten his hair. Chris and Akana came out of Dan's room sleepily. Sarah grabbed their hands and walked out of the apartment and got into the back of Phil's car with them. Chris was in the middle seat so both girls could talk to him. Dan joined them a few minutes later, and then they started driving. "D-Dan? Are you sure me and Sarah should be here with you guys?" Akana asked him. Dan nodded "You can do challenges with us. It will be fun." he replied. "I want that in writing." Sarah grinned. Chris laughed "Black Books?" he asked Sarah, who nodded. "I love that show. I can relate to Bernard a lot, I hate most people." she said, making Chris laugh again.
Sarah, Akana and Chris continued to joke around and laugh with each other, while Phil and Dan sat in an awkward silence. When they arrived at StickAid they quickly parked and went inside. They were only five minutes late, luckily. The security directed them onstage to sit and talk about what to do with the host, Myles Dyer. Pj was already there, and he quickly turned away when he saw Dan. Dan sat on the other side of the couch from him. Chris sat next to Pj and Phil sat between Chris and Dan. Akana and Sarah sat on the other couch nervously. Myles talked to the four boys for a while about what they could do for the show. Akana and Sarah grinned at each other when they talked about lap dances. Myles suddenly noticed them and looked a them in confusion. "These are our new friends, Akana and Sarah." Chris explained to him. He nodded "So, do either of you have any special talents?" Myles asked them. They shot each other a look that said "OH NO, SOCIAL INTERACTION!" then Akana said "We can both draw, and Sarah can play guitar." Sarah blushed a little but nodded. Pj raised his head and looked at her, interested. "Maybe you and Akana can have a drawing battle then. You both try to draw something and we'll judge which one is better." Myles suggested. "Yeah!" Sarah said enthusiastically, grinning at Akana. "And also, maybe you and Pj could have a guitar battle, or do a duet on something?" Myles asked. Sarah looked over at Pj, who smiled back at her and nodded "I'd like to see how good you are." he said.
Myles asked one of the staff to get a spare guitar for Sarah to play, and while they waited, they talked among themselves. Dan talked to Phil, Akana moved over to talk to Chris and Pj moved over to sit beside Sarah "Why didn't you tell me you could play?" he asked her. "Well...we didn't have a lot of time together, y'know.." Sarah said awkwardly. Pj bit his lip at the memory of last night. The staff member handed Sarah a red metallic guitar. "Whoa..." she grinned "I love red.". "It matches your hair!" Akana called, laughing. Sarah laughed too and started strumming a song. There was suddenly no noise in the room other than Sarah playing. After about a minute of the song, Pj recognized it. "That's Yellow by Coldplay, right?" he asked. Sarah nodded and smiled "It's one of the first songs I learned. I wanted to learn it to play to my gran, she loves the colour yellow." she replied. Pj nodded thoughtfully. Sarah noticed Chris forming his hands into a love heart and winking at her. She flipped him off and glared at him. Pj looked behind him in confusion, just as Myles checked his watch "Goodness, is that the time? We need to start the show, the audience will be here soon." he announced. Sarah bit her lip and looked down at the guitar. "Something wrong?" Pj asked. "I-I'm just kind of nervous. I know everyone's here for you guys, but I might get stage fright anyway." she said, shrugging. Pj put a hand on her shoulder "You'll be fine. Just look at me if you get nervous. Like High School Musical." he laughed. She giggled "I'll do that, thanks."
Chris nudged Akana and pointed at Sarah and Pj "When do you think the wedding is?" he asked. She laughed "Tonight, I bet.". The audience then poured in. There were quite a lot of people. There were huge cheers as people saw the four boys. They stood up and cheered too, laughing. When the noise died down they sat down and Myles introduced Sarah and Akana. They were both surprised when people cheered for them too. Chris gestured for Akana to stand up, and Pj did the same for Sarah. They stood together awkwardly, doing little waves. When they sat down, Myles started talking about the charities Stickaid was giving to. Sarah was looking at Pj, like he told her to, trying not to laugh because it must have looked weird. Pj grinned at her "You look like that overly attached girlfriend meme." he hissed. She put her hands over her mouth, trying extremely hard not to laugh. Akana looked at her and shook her head "She's mad." she whispered to Chris. "So is Pj, that's why they're a good couple." he whispered back. They giggled quietly together.
"So, without further ado, shall we get on with the show?" Myles asked. The audience cheered again. Myles looked at Sarah and Pj "Well, these two were going to do a duet." he said. More cheers. Sarah swallowed nervously. Pj took her hand and stood up, getting his guitar from the side of the stage. "W-what song do we duet on?" she asked, cursing herself for stuttering. "Can you play Call Me Maybe?" Pj asked her. She nodded. "We'll play that then." Pj said, smiling at her. She forced a smile back. Pj took a pick out of his pocket and offered another one to her. She shook her head and took her special JLS pick out of her pocket. He laughed "Ready?" he asked. She nodded and began to strum. He copied her and softly sang the first few lines of the song. He nudged her when he got to the chorus. She took the hint and sang quietly along with him. There were a few cheers from the crowd and she felt her confidence rise and sang louder. Pj grinned and when they got to the end of the song the crowd cheered and clapped. Sarah laughed and waved to the crowd again. Pj did the same. The others clapped too, cheering sarcastically. Sarah and Pj then sat down and waited for the noise to die down. "Now, shall we do some lapdances?" Myles suggested, and the crowd cheered again. Jesus, did they ever stop, Sarah thought. "Well maybe we should get the girls to give the boys lapdances this time?" Myles suggested, taking the girls by surprise.
"No, no ,no!" they chorused, standing up and shaking their heads. "Do it, do it, do it, do it!" Myles chanted, causing the audience to copy him. "WE'RE NOT DOING IT, SHUT UP!" Sarah yelled in her best Ian Hecox voice. "Yes you are!" Myles said, putting Candy Shop on on a nearby stereo. They rolled their eyes and finally agreed. "Okay then. Akana, you do Chris. Sarah, you do Pj." Myles told them. Akana laughed and grinned at Chris. Sarah blushed and bit her lip, unable to look at Pj. If she had, she would see he was blushing too. "Go on then!" Dan encouraged, laughing at them. Akana was the first to start, walking towards Chris and sticking her chest out, making a joke of it. Sarah began to strut towards Pj, not looking him in the eye then ran her hands through her hair, bending over him. She looked over at Akana, who was in Chris's lap. Dan, Phil and Myles were practically dying laughing. Sarah herself giggled "I don't know what I'm doing!" she hissed to Pj through her giggles. Pj bit his lip and didn't reply. She began pushing against him like Akana was doing with Chris. He was biting his lip the whole time, then a whimper escaped him. Sarah pulled back a little "Is something wrong, Peej?" she asked. He shook his head, but then Sarah accidentally looked down and nodded, looking away quickly. She and Akana got up at the same time. Judging by Chris's crossed legs, the same thing had happened with them.
"What are you doing, girls?" Myles asked. "This is ridiculous!" Sarah said quickly, not wanting to embarrass either of the boys "I'm not doing any more!". Akana nodded and tried to look annoyed. "Could you..excuse me for a sec?" they heard Pj ask. He ran off stage quickly. Chris repeated what he had said and followed him. Sarah and Akana looked at each other, wondering what had just happened.
