The Bet

The Hangover & an Oath

-The next day-

The girls reluctantly got up early, they moved around like zombies. Alyssa caught a cab to take her to the airport to go back to California, while Celestia rode with Motley to the buses.

Celestia climbed on the bus and immediately went to the bunk that was Nikki’s & put a blanket over her head.

“What wrong with her?” Mick asked as the bus rolled to their next stop

“Her & Alyssa got shit faced last night.” Nikki explained

“Ah say no more...like father like daughter.” Mick said smirking at Nikki

“Celestia! Wake up!” Tommy said shaking the sleeping form of his ‘niece’

“Go to hell & die Uncle Tommy!” Celestia mumbled from underneath her blanket

“I got you something that will help with your hangover.” Tommy said, causing Celestia to peak out from under the cover

“What is it?” She questioned

“Aspirin, pepto bismol & anti-motion sickness.” Tommy said handing her the pills & a bottle of water. She took the pills & chased them with the water.

“Well I guess she won't want none of the greasy roadside breakfast.” Vince said causing Celestia to gag

“You’re all just mean old men. Good night!” Celestia said shoving her head under her blanket & closing the curtain of Nikki’s bunk causing them to laugh.

After a couple of hours on the road the buses pulled up to the arena they were set to play that night. Nikki got up going to get his daughter up from his bunk.

“Celestia, honey wake up, we’re here.” Nikki said whispering to his daughter as he lightly shook her from her slumber.

Letting out a grumble, Celestia looked at her father with tired eyes “I’m awake.” she said climbing out of the bunk feeling her world spin, shaking it off she went to the front & plopped on one of the couches.

“How you feeling rugrat?” Mick asked

“Like I just got hit by a Mack truck.” Celestia said sliding her sunglasses on, in an attempt to shield her eyes from the bright sunlight coming in the windows of the bus.

“You going to be alright to work today? You can always take the day off, I’ll tell Ricky you’re sick or something.” Nikki said handing Celestia a bottle of water as he sat next to her.

“No, I’ll be fine. I don’t want any special treatment.” Celestia said drinking the water, causing Nikki to roll his eyes at her comment. She was just as stubborn and hard headed as he was.

“You won’t be getting special treatment little girl. Everyone deserves a day off.” Vince said trying to help Nikki, causing Celestia to cringe at the nickname they used for her ‘little girl’.

“I’m fine, really. When I need a day off I’ll take it but today is not the day I’m going to take off.” Celestia said

“Damn girl, you are better than I am, if someone offered me a day off especially feeling as bad as you do. I’d jump at the chance.” Tommy said sipping his own water.

“Yeah, yeah. Well I better get going, I’m sure that I’m late as it is. Bye dad. I love you.” she said kissing her dad on the cheek.

“I love you too honey.” Nikki said giving her a kiss on the cheek back

“I love y’all too uncles!” Celestia said blowing her uncles a kiss as she walked off the bus.

Celestia walked through the hallways & finally found Ricky, who immediately put her to work, only after making the observation of her not looking well.

“You sure you’re going to be alright?” Ricky asked Celestia as he gave her the tasks he needed her to do.

“Yes Ricky, I’ll be fine. God what is it with you guys? I’m not glass, I won't break.” Celestia replied getting annoyed for being treated like some sort of glass figure that was going to break easy

“Well if something happens to you & it’s on my watch Nikki will kill me. And I’m not too sure the rest of The Crue wouldn’t try to kill me as well.” Ricky whispered so no one would hear, blowing her cover.

“You’re all bat nuts crazy, I’m going to get to work. If I break a nail, I’ll call you.” Celestia said smirking, being a smartass as she walked off to start her first task of the day.

Meanwhile:

Brian was standing outside of the arena enjoying a cigarette & the silence, except his thoughts weren’t being too silent. Since this whole bet thing with DJ over Celestia started all he could think of was her.

He knew that she had become close with some of the band members from the bands on it Crue Fest, but he also knew she wasn’t his biggest fan. All he wanted was to talk to her, but she shot him down, especially after the whole IHOP fiasco. And he honestly couldn't really blame her. But the more she pushed him away it just made him more determined to get her, almost like a wild animal trying to catch his prey.

But Matt being interested in her & DJ putting the moves on her as well didn’t exactly make things easy for him. Even Zacky was on his balls to get him to drop this bet with DJ, but he couldn’t, he wouldn't accept defeat and let DJ win, he had too much pride to let that happen. Not to mention a reputation on the line, as well as $3,000.

Inhaling the nicotine in his cigarette, trying to relax he felt someone elses presence, looking beside him he saw DJ walking up to him. Rolling his eyes behind his dark sunglasses Brian just took another hit of his marlboro, waiting for the bullshit to come out of DJ’s mouth.

“So Brian, how’s the ‘hunting’ going?” DJ asked before lighting up his own cigarette, standing next to Brian

“Great.” Brian replied in an annoyed tone of voice “How is your ‘hunting’ going?” Brian added

“Fabulous. We’re getting closer, she came out to the benefit concert Guns n’ Roses put on last night in Vegas. Even came backstage to see me.” DJ said smirking, trying to get to Brian.

“Wonderful.” Brian said exhaling a cloud of smoke, as he flicked his cigarette away

“Yeah I thought so myself. So what adventures have you had with her?” DJ asked

“Not that it’s any of your business but me & her went out to lunch at IHOP.”

“How cute. Just remember Brian, when I win & I will win, I’d like my pay in cash. ok?” DJ said before flicking his own cigarette away, walking back into the arena.

Brian just rolled his eyes, knowing he had to get Celestia alone soon, or he was indeed going to be out $3,000 and he just couldn’t let that happen. Especially knowing it would go to smug ass DJ.

“Gates! What the hell man? It’s time for soundcheck, let’s go.” Johnny said finally finding Brian

“Yeah, yeah I’m coming you fucking gnome, don't get your panties in a bunch.” Brian said walking with Johnny into the arena, trying to clear his thoughts of Celestia & his little bet with DJ.

-Back with Celestia-

Celestia was on the side of the stage working with the guitar tech, Ted, to get the guitars unloaded and in the right place for the right guitarist.

“Damnit!” Ted cursed causing Celestia to look at him funny.

“You ok Ted?”

“Yeah, just a guitar string broke for Jerry’s guitar, and I seem to have no strings in this box.” Ted said digging through the box for strings

“Well why don’t you go look in the other boxes, I’ll hold the fort down here.” Celestia offered

“Oh great, thanks. I’ll be right back.” Ted said jogging off to find the box with spare guitar strings.

Celestia just shook her head chuckling softly before getting back to the task at hand. She was concentrating on making sure she didn’t mix up the guitars when a pair of hands grabbed her hips.

“Boo!” the voice said, causing her to yelp & turn around ready to knock the shit out of the person who touched her. She heard a familiar laughter & calmed down, holding her chest.

“You fucktard, don’t you do that! You trying to kill me Zacky?”

“I couldn’t resist!” Zacky said laughing his ass off as Jimmy walked up.

“What happened? What’d I miss?” Jimmy asked

“You’re asshole friend just gave me a heart attack.” Celestia said starting to calm her breathing down, glaring at Zacky who was still chuckling at her.

“Bad Zacky, I told you, you can’t go around throwing pretty girls into heart attacks anymore. Especially my Celestia.” Jimmy said slinging his arm around Celestia’s shoulders, taking her side. Celestia stuck her tongue out at Zacky in victory.

“Are we ever going to fucking do a fucking sound check?” Matt said before he saw Celestia, he stopped in his tracks & then kind of felt sheepish for sounding like a dick.

“We kind of need Gates, where is he?” Zacky asked

“I sent Short Shit to look for him.” Matt said watching Celestia as she goofed off with Jimmy

“I’m right fucking here, Matt quit your fucking bitching...” Brian said walking up with Johnny in toe. Brian’s eyes landed on Celestia & watched her smile with Jimmy. He swore her smile could light up the whole arena. She looked up at everyone staring at her & tensed up, falling into an awkward silence.

“Well now that everyone is here, we can get our soundcheck done.” Jimmy said running off to sit behind his massive drum kit.

“Yeah we just need our guitars.” Zacky said looking at Celestia

“Oh here you go, I just got them out.” Celestia said handing Zacky one of his guitars

“Thank you ma’am.” Zacky said putting the guitar strap over his shoulder walking off

Celestia handed Johnny his bass & that left Brian. Celestia was going to take the high road & be civil toward Brian, she had to see him everyday of course. She grabbed the guitar & handed it to him, he took it from her, his hands running across hers. Brian took note at how soft they felt & wondered how they’d feel on his skin.

Celestia offered him a smile & he smiled back, “Thanks.” he said before putting the guitar strap over his shoulder “No problem, it’s my job.” she replied as he gave her another smile and walked off to join Zacky.

That left Matt just standing there, in front of Celestia. She felt his eyes burning into her & just swallowed hard.

“Anything I can help you with Matt?” she asked, not 100% sure as to why he was staring at her. ‘Do I look that bad with a hangover?’ she thought to herself

“Um, uh, yeah did they already put mics out?” Matt asked knowing he was caught staring

“Yeah, they are in the mic stands.” Celestia said looking at him funny, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

“Oh right, yeah, I knew that.” Matt said before being interrupted by Jimmy talking through his mic

“Will M. Shadows please come to that stage? Thank you, that is all!” Jimmy announced causing the band to laugh, except Brian who was glaring daggers into Matt

“You better go.” Celestia said chuckling at Jimmy’s antics as Matt cursed his friend under his breath.

“Yeah, I’ll see you around though?” Matt asked

“Of course.” Celestia said going back to unloading the guitars.

The guys got underway with their soundcheck, which really didn’t help Celestia’s pounding headache. She could handle the thump of Johnny’s bass,the screech of Zacky & Brian’s guitars, even Matt’s screaming but Jimmy was about to kill her banging on his drums like Animal from the Muppet Show. Finally Celestia couldn’t take it anymore, she calmly walked across the stage causing Brian, Matt, Zacky & Johnny to look at her funny, Jimmy never stopped playing his drums. Celestia stopped as she stood behind his, knocking him on his head, he finally stopped and turned to look at her with a smile.

“To what do I owe this pleasure shortcake?” Jimmy asked

“Can I see your drum sticks JimJam? I want to see how different they are from Tommy’s.” Celestia asked, causing him to look at her funny

“Um, yeah sure.” Jimmy said handing his sticks to her, she inspected them & then to everyone's shock she threw them out into the ‘mosh pit’ area where no one could get them. She then calmly walked off as the guys watched her, then looked at Jimmy who just shrugged and grabbed an extra pair he kept nearby & kept drumming like he had been.

Celestia stopped, turned and then yelled at Jimmy “I’m going to shove your sticks up your ass Jimmy!” she said as she ran towards him, he just smiled and ran off.

“I thought you liked my drumming.” Jimmy said hiding behind Brian which was pretty useless considering he was taller than Brian

“Not when I have a terrible fucking headache from a hangover!” Celestia said trying to get to Jimmy but Brian was making that difficult.

“You drank without your JimJam?” Jimmy gasped dramatically

“Isn’t it illegal in all 50 states to party without The Rev?” Zacky said amused by the way Celestia & Jimmy were acting

“And 2 countries.” Johnny said

“Oh for the love of God, come here shortcake.” Matt said picking her up, as she flailed her arms & legs

“Put me down Matt!” Celestia said just hanging from Matts arms

“Not until you take the oath.” Matt said causing Jimmy to smile

“Ha-ha you gotta take the oath.” Jimmy taunted

“What oath?” Celestia asked

“The oath that you will never party, drink or otherwise without the The Rev.” Brian said jealously watching as Matt held Celestia in his arms

“Ugh fine!” Celestia said defeated

“Ok put your left hand on his sticks and raise your right hand, now repeat after me.” Zacky said, Celestia rolled her eyes and did as she was told

“I, Celestia, do solemnly swear by the City of Evil, that I will never drink, party or otherwise without my best drummer friend, The Reverend Tholomew Plague.” Zacky recited, Celestia repeated everything word for word. The guys all smiled & Matt put her back on her feet.

“Welcome to the family.” Brian said staring at Celestia

“Oh shortcake, I love you!” Jimmy said dipping her as he kissed her in a joking way.

“Yeah, yeah, I love you too.” Celestia said laughing “But now I must get back to work, and you guys too.” she said walking off laughing as Matt & the guys started serenading her with ‘Welcome to the family’

Celestia was walking down the halls to go to her next task when she heard someone shout her name from behind her.

“Celestia! Wait up!” the familiar voice said causing Celestia to turn around to see Brian jogging towards her

“What's up Brian?”

“Nothing, I was just wonder if, um, you know, the next we all have off, if you, I don’t know would like to go out sometime?” Brian asked stumbling over his words as he examined Celestia’s face for a reaction

“Yeah sure, uh, just let me know ok?” Celestia said giving him a smile

“Ok great yeah, I’ll let you know.” Brian said thankful she didn’t turn him down & that she was giving him a chance

“Ok, well I better get back to work for real this time.” she said before walking off, Brian just watched her walk away from him.

None the games have finally begun, little to Celestia’s knowledge.
