A True Vegas Story

Arianna

A scream woke me up from the best dream of my life. Aden was on his knees, proposing his ever lasting love. We were on some sort of beach or something and I was in this super cute white babydoll dress and he was in shorts and -gasp- no shirt. It was the best dream EVER. Then I woke up.

"Why is everyone yelling?" I mumbled, unsure of where I was. I turned my head and got on my knees, taking account of my new surrondings. I heard what seemed like a hiss in pain and turned to the coach where a shirtless Aden lay with a megahot spiral tattoo on his torso.

I crawled over to him and stared in awe of his new tat. He always wanted one but never had the guts to actually go get one. I never thought it'd be a trip to Vegas and a crazy night out to push him into it.

Finally, I looked down at what I was wearing. It was a short red pirate dress and on my leg was what I hoped to be a fake tattoo with the phrase "Arrr!" and a cute little parrot. I had knee high black boots and a super gorgeous medalion necklace. Waaaaaaiiit. Why am I in this clothes?

I glanced up at Amber who was talking furiously with Craig, who had a happy-go-lucky look on his face. Then I noticed the rings. On their ring fingers. Wow.

"Guys, what happened last night?" Aden muttered. I rolled my eyes and turned to him.

"Isn't it obvious? We all managed to get into some bar or casino, you got a tattoo, Craig and Amber got married and I'm in a pirate outfit," I answered.

"Well, that's helpful," Amber replied angrily. I frowned and cocked my head.

"More than you know," I shot back.

"Guys! Guys! Calm down." Craig said, looking at both me and Amber. Then a voice rang from the now opened door.

"Yeah, guys. Calm down and I'll tell you the answers to all of your questions,"

Oops, I forgot to post my profile!! Find it in the DT!!

Natalie

Someone screamed, the noise piercing straight me through me. I bolted upright, freaking out. Was there a fire? I was all alone in the bedroom of the motel, the sheets crumpled in a ball next to me. One of the others must've been sharing the bed with me, I realized, and I swung my feet around to slide off the bed.
My head hurt like something chronic. Why I had agreed to come away with these strangers, I never know. All they did was get me completely wasted. What even happened last night? I thought to myself.

Everyone was in the living room, gathered around Amber. Her left arm was sticking out poker straight, and Ari had grabbed onto her hand. Everyone was staring at her.
"Guys, what happened last night?" Aden asked.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked, scratching the sleep out of my eyes. I searched the eyes of the entire group, until they landed on Aden's. He was shirtless, and there was a huge tattoo spiralling alongside the left side of his body. I frowned - that was not there the last time I saw him.
Aden's eyes were huge as he stared at me.
"Nat, what were you up to last night? Your sister is going to kill me!" he cried, pointing at me. Everyone turned from Amber's outstretched hand to look at me. Confused, I brought my hands up to my face, trying to see if something was wrong.

"Nat, look at your stomach," Ari pointed out. I looked down. Oh. My. God. I had a tattoo on my stomach. A tattoo. What was going on??? I looked at everyone.

"I've got a tattoo. So does Aden. Ari's dressed as a pirate..." I drifted off. Amber looked directly into my eyes.

"And Craig and I are married."

AMBER

I was arguing with Craig. What the heck drove me to marry him! We had never been close as friends! He told us to calm down. I looked at ari... why was she dressed like a pirate? A voice at the door alerted me it was open.
"Yeah, guys. Calm down and I'll tell you the answers to all of your questions." It was some random drunk dude.
"OK, first question... Who are you!" He smiled chuckling. He walked in and handed me a big envelope.
"I crashed the wedding last night. These may help you remember. Now excuse me while i try to find out where the heck my new wife is." He smiled and left. Luckily his ring was nothing like mine. I opened the envelope. I looked up at the others. Pulling out the pictures.
"Ya this was one hell of a party." I shuffled through them. There was one of Ari, buying a pirate costume, completely hammered. One of Aden, getting his tattoo, i handed it to him. I then brought out the one of me and Craig under the arch. I looked up to him.
"Well hey there hubby." I smirked at him.

Aden

Calm down. No time to freak out. Right?

Amber handed me a picture and I looked down at it. It was a picture of me getting my tattoo. Great, I must have been really wasted. I looked over at everyone else examine their photos, this was all too confusing. Tossing the photo aside, I pulled my wallet out of my pocket and pulled out a few bucks for a coffee, but...
"Guys," I mumbled," I can't find my ID."Amber came looked over from her conversation and shrugged.
"Neither can I," she sighed.
With a loud grunt, I shoved my wallet back in my pocket and stood up.
"Okay," I practically yelled. "We all got wasted and did some crazy shit. We have a married couple, two tattoo people, and Ari's a pirate." I shook my head as Ari made some pirate noise. "That all is understood, but how are we getting home?"

Everyone looked around the room, hoping someone else would give a suggestion. How am I going to explain this to my mom? 'Hey mom, I got drunk and now I have this freakishly huge tattoo covering most of my body! So, what's for dinner?' Yeah, I don't think so. Well, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...or not.

Ariana

I looked through my pictures, blinking profusely at the more "drunk" ones. I suddenly felt a presence behind me. His shirt was buttoned opened and his spiral tattoo was visible.

"You got a bunch. I only have 3," Aden said, smiling while waving the his pictures around. His smile was carefree, but I could tell he was tense and upset.

"We could get the tattoo off. And to tell you the truth, it kind of looks hot on you," I said, before blushing at my frankness and Aden's shocked look.

"Alright, love birds, we have to find our stuff," Amber interrupted with a smirk on her face. I laughed and turned to her. She was sitting on the violet colored couch, in a formal but awkward arrangement next to Craig.

"Right, because you're one to talk. We do have to fins our stuff though" I replied.

"Find some aspirin, first," Craig muttered, while holding his hands to his head. Natalie ran into the bathroom and came back with a little box of Advil.

"Doctor Natalie is in the house!" She called before giving each of us two tiny pills to relieve our hang overs.

"Thank God" Craig said before throwing his head back and downing the pills dry. I watched as Amber shook her head and walked over to the WhiteStar fridge, pulling out Poland Springs waters. She threw one to each of us and we all took the Advil, hoping it would get rid of our aching pains and maybe give us back our memory of the night before

AMBER

I put my hand on my head. Shielding any light from my eyes.
"OK so, does anyone remember anything from last night... like where all our money, I.D. and credit cards went. I know i had a MasterCard." I looked at everyone. I looked down at my clothes. I know last night i wasn't wearing this.
"Nope, still nothing." Craig said, shifting away from me as i sat beside him. I sighed and looked over at him.
"you better get used to having me around. Cause until we get home and get lawyers, we're married. Without the marriage perks." I looked over towards my bag. It was wide opened and empty. Great, that's missing to? Ari had her bag, her clothes were missing to.
"Looks like I'm a pirate for a while.... AR!"

Aden:

"Looks like I'm a pirate for a while.... AR!" I rolled my eyes at Ari's failed attempt at humor. She sighed and slumped down next to her empty bag. "Well, at least I tried."
I ruffled her hair slightly and groaned.
"And your efforts were much appreciated," I sighed. Everything was quiet for a long minute in which everyone moaned and groaned about our current..er..situation. "Sitting around and soaking in our own despair won't help us none," I snapped at the deflated bodies strew around me.
"Aden's right," Amber agreed. I stood proudly and placed my hands on my hips.
"I am right, and we need a plan. Unless we want to waste our lives away in Vegas..."

Ari

"Well we should get some breakfast. You think this place has free breakfast?" I asked, turning my self over on the bed so I was on my elbows.

"Yeah, we should check." Natalie said. We all stood and walked towards the door, our hang overs relieved, getting down to breakfast.


**Sorry, writers block**

**Hey guys, I'm sorry, but I won't be on tonight, and I don't have a lot of time so I won't be able to post! I'm sorry!**

AMBER

I sat on the bed, and crossed my legs. I starred blankley ahead of myself. I hoped this would help me remember. I remember getting totally wasted. I remember buying a dress and maxing my master card. I remember leaving the dress at the store. I remember the I DO, and i definatly dont. My friends were like my family, not my love. I decided to retreat to myself for a while. I needed time to think.

**sorry for shortness**

Natalie

I looked down at the food on my plate, my stomach turning over at the thought of actually eating anything. Looking up, Aden sat across from me, shovelling bacon and eggs into his mouth, which made me want to retch even more. Couldn't boys be civilized at all? Ari sat next to him, still in the pirate costume, flicking through her photos with great interest. Most had been from the wedding at the Elvis Chapel on the Strip, but there were a few of Ari in her costume and Aden getting his tattoo done.

Thinking about tattoos made me blanch even more. I could feel the ink that stretched across my stomach, fresh with bursting aches of dull pain. I wanted to look at it, but it wasn't very appropriate to reveal my stomach at the table. Aden looked perfectly comfortable in his new body arat, but I wasn't surprised - Aden was comfortable with everything. Even with Ari hanging off his every word.

I wondered what Jo, my sister, would think of my tattoo. And my missing clothes. Plus my purse, which was now also missing. Thinking about my missing suitcase made me feel dirty. The only clothes I had were the ones I wore now - a black satin top and skinny leg jeans. The heels I had been wearing on my feet all night now sat next to me, allowing my sore feet to breathe.

I took a sip of coffee, pushing my plate away. Everything I believed in I had let waste down the drain because of a couple of drinks. A couple of drinks that had turned into a wild drunken night and a Celtic tattoo on my stomach...

"So what do we do now?" I said, looking at both Ari and Aden.

Craig!

Craig sighed, his head in his hands. Who would've thought a last minute vacation with his old high school friends wouldend his way?! He ripped into his breakfast, fueled with anger. His button-up shirt was rolled up to the elbows and the top four buttons were un-done, Craig being too lazy to button them back up. "What are we going to do now?" He heard Natalie ask, but his head was pounding too hard from the hangover.

"I can call the band, and see if they'll meet us someplace with new clothes..." Craig offered, soon groaning in pain. "But I think they're all gonna be in the same state we are, just without the marriages, tattoos, and costumes." He smirked, gripping his head.

"So they're just hungover?" Ari asked, distaste in her voice.

"Like we usually are," Craig laughed, standing up and throwing his plate away. He had to get rid of this hangover. With a sigh, he started back up to the room.
