Will was reading a book and sipping from an ornate looking tea cup.

"Is constructing a miniature refrigerator really a that big of an achievement for you guys." Will asked. "If so, I find that almost saddening..." He said bluntly.

"We didn't construct it, I asked for it, they had a leftover minifridge in the cooking branch," Dia pointed out towards Will while keeping a prideful expression on his face.

"Yeah..." before Jordan could say anymore he was treated to a tight hug by Aphrodite, causing him to blush once he felt her. "Hey Aphrodite, long time no see," Jordan laughed as he tried to hide the blush on his face and saw Robin walk in as well. "So you guys want to do an interview huh?" He asked her while smiling. "I don't mind that."

"So I don't get a hug?" Dia replied with disappointment as he saw Felix and Zane get their own hugs.

"I guess you guys wouldn't know since you're new," Anna turned towards Felix, Zane and Dia. "Aphrodite is part of the 7 Stars a group made up of the best students of each one, they hold a lot of authority in this school, she's one of those people."

"More importantly, where's mine?" Sophie asked, trying to cheer herself up. "And that's a rather fancy title." She mused about the '7 stars' name, looking over at the visitors to the club.

The uninteresting dull life of Madison

Flashback since we had a skip

It seemed like some retro gathering as Madison dressed in a powder lace halter-neck dress with a cross-over, halter neckline, buttoned straps, and a low-cut back along with a lace veiling and scalloped edges with eyelash fringing. She had her red hair, styled, long, silky with curls done by a hair curler. She was walking in formal sandals holding a tote purse and was walking with a blonde women, similar to her except wearing a black sleeveless, draped cocktail dress with her hair done up as well. Madison and Dana were attending a party and Madison did wonder if any of the Assist Club would have been invited for kicks.

"I am so pumped, my first party since I moved from Denver," Madison squealed in delight as they were about to take the corner towards the location of the party. "This is going to be awesome with the dancing and people," They walked up to the house which was a giant two story house with blaring music from the late 90's and early 00's, all hip hop and RnB. She could hear some splashes which means that there must have been a pool as well.

"Don't forget the alcohol and the cute boys," Dana smiled as they walked to the door and rang the door bell.

"Oh yeah drinks, I forgot about that. If I got drunk, my dad is going to put in me shutout for like my life," Madison sighed as they waited by the door for the host to open. It was Scott who opened the door. "Wait this is your house?"

"Well no but nice to see you girls, you y'all look fine including Dana," Scott kissed Dana while Madison looked around to see that there was a heck of a lot of people, all these various people. "I'll give you girls a tour of the party though, we will start with the drinks area." They walked outside to see that there was people playing beer pong, people making out with each other while swimming. "Y'all brought your swimming shit?" He asked while they were looking at the crystal blue water as people were swimming and diving into it.

"No, no we didn't because no one told us," Dana looked at him angrily obviously wanting to have a go at the pool.

"I thought...oh right I didn't remind you...sorry babe." They continued to walk and then they heard a guy arguing with a girl about their relationship which they quickly walked by the avoid it. "So yeah that's the beer pong table, who's keen for this, man?" Just when Scott asked, a guy with brown mop hair with a Caucasian complexion walked to the table and he looked at Scott and smiled.

"Bro, I am game, you guys playing?" He asked the group who shook their heads or said no except for....

"I'll play!!!" Madison smiled as she walked up to the table and then looked at the guy with the brown hair and smiled.

"This girl is awesome, she's game unlike you guys. Man she's better than y'all!!!" The guy yelled out with laughter only to be matched with a few ping pong balls thrown at him. "Okay okay cool it. Do you know how to play hottie?"

"More or less, let's start this show." They were playing against each other with a crowd building up and murmurs about who the girl is. Madison started off well as she just missed her first shot like his first shot. However she channeled her inner Kyle Korver and could not miss a shot making the guy drink three straight in a row while he kept on missing his shots. He landed his 5th shot and Madison quickly drank her drink, abit too quickly. However she won quite handedly and then stared back at the guy.

"And that's how we do it," The crowd that was watch cheered somewhat as the red hair teen took a bow before walking towards the guy. "Nice game, too bad you couldn't get some shots your way." She smiled taking a cup and started to drink from beer from it.

"Haha nice, I like that. I'm Tom and you are?" So his name is Tom and was another of the baseball guys that were at the party, it seemed really random that there weren't that many football players around but it is not like this makes sense anyway.

"Madison, it's nice to meet you." He shook her hand and then to talk to her about a few things, well mainly about the Madison herself. "Yeah I moved and part of the sports branch which is pretty totally neat and stuff, I used to do a lot of winter sports back in Denver and I had a few injuries but I'm all good now. So what do you do on the pitch?" She asked Tom who laughed before pointing out that he was an outfielder but mainly bats up early.

"Hey....look at that. He's single right?" Dana asked as she clutch on to her boyfriend's arm. "Because they look cute...they look very cute together."

"Dana, they just met and why do y'all wanna pair up Madison like it is some fiction story or a RP that someone is writing, man. Just let her be but maybe there is some shit that you are saying that has some merit. I did say some." He was also watching Madison and Tom talking. "And yeah he's been single after his ex-girlfriend cheated on him with some random art guy, my bro was crushed, man. He was crushed."

"Please babe, that girl was a total slut and yes I do remember her but Maddy is the homely cute girl that is probably someone that your parents would be proud and all that stuff. She is no way prettier than me though and your parents love me." Dana turned around to stare at her boyfriend, Scott.

Scott however muttered "Yeah sure..."

"Hey!!!"

"No, no I mean they really like you, babe."

----------------

Current Time

"I did not know you were such a great dancer, Maddy and Tom was all over and some other guys really were totally jealous, you are such a party animal except not as much as me of course and you are no way close to be being pretty like I am." Dana and Madison were sitting down relaxing while they were talking about the party that happened in the past. "So spill the details, girlfriend."

"Well..." Madison blushed trying to recollect everything that wasn't wiped out with alcohol. "I just remember beer pong, talking, swimming in my dress after a few more drinks and then in your house. Oh right yeah I was talking to Tom, he is so cute...is he gay like your brother?"

"You really don't remember that much, you were on fire. You were throwing a football with some of the football players. You have the arm according to Scott that could be dangerous for short passes or whatever the heck he said. You and Tom were quite the chatting chatties and you didn't remember that you and him..."

"We didn't...did we?" Madison asked shellshocked on what Dana was saying, actually everything that she was saying. She didn't think she was the party animal but the hangover after that party and the bucket suggested otherwise.

"Nah you didn't, you were trying to be social and he didn't really want to do anything. Well that's what we were told by my darling boyfriend. "I don't think he left with your phone number or his phone number and he probably forgot your name because you name is not that remember able like Dana or something classy like a Melinda or something." Dana remarked as they sat down on the grass. "Don't worry, if you come to a game, he'll see you and he'll be like Madison darling, you are pretty but not as pretty as the lovely Dana who is perfect in every single way." Dana pushing her voice to be like a stage actress continued "I wish you'll be mine darling since I can't get Dana, the lovely Dana."

"Ah huh..." Madison threw some grass at her. "I don't think he'll like a girl like me but I would love to see the guys play,"

"Oh Madison, everyone likes you except for the people that don't, so what I'm thinking with your hair..."

"Hey what's wrong with my hair?"

"Darling, you don't want to know..."

Jordan looked over at Erika, a sad expression crossing his face as he looked at her and remembered that Nathan wasn't there at the moment. He wanted to see if he could help her out, but the request at the moment took more importance, he would talk to her later though.

It was then that he saw the door being opened once more, causing Jordan's eyes to open his eyes in shock when he saw a girl with long fiery red hair walking into the room. She had a curvy figure with brown eyes and soft white skin. "So this is the Assist Club huh?" she smiled a mischivious grin before she turned towards Jordan. "Hey four eyes, long time no see!" the girl laughed heartedly as she walked towards Jordan, ignoring the rest of the group.

"Well Luke did tell me you had transferred here too," Jordan just smiled as he walked over to meet the girl. "Fancy meeting you here Alicia."

"Don't get your hopes up, obviously I just came here because I have something in mind," Alicia shrugged carelessly as she turned away from Jordan.

"Should I call Luke and tell him his dear girlfriend is being a pain in the ass again," Jordan replied with a sly grin, causing Alicia to frown and hide a blush.

"You always play that card," she pointed out before looking around. "Anyways as you know I'm part of the Cooking Branch now, and I came here cause I heard you have a formidable opponent for me."

"You referring to people as opponents still sounds as cheesy as ever...but what do you mean?' Jordan asked as he looked towards Erika and Dia. He and Alicia had known each other since middle school, she was known for being someone very competitive and that wouldn't give up until she was the best in what she was doing, because of this she would always get herself mixed up in competitions with others.

"Erika Shen or whatever, I don't care," Alicia shrugged. "I heard she got a lot of attention and is a second year like me, so I just wanna take her down, you know the deal."

"...maybe I really should call Luke," Jordan muttered to himself.

"That is some over confident attitude your radiating Madam." Will said cooly.

"I doubt you'll be able to put your money where mouth so to speak. I feel as if your defeat is inevitable. To put it simply, Erika outclasses you in both talent and skill, and will ruin any hope of a chance that your better then her.. But I must insist, that if you are to converse with my peers, that you do it in a respectful manner, because they are offering far more kindness to you then you deserve."

"Yeah yeah, shut up and go back to your book random guy I don't know," Alicia said before turning away from Will and looking at Jordan. "You've got a cast here."

"You still have your personality," Jordan pointed out before sighing. "I guess introductions are in order," he walked towards Erika. "This is Alicia, she's the girlfriend to one of my childhood friends, we met in middle school," he nodded his head before looking at the girl once more. "She's a bit on the rougher side, bust just humor her and she should calm down on her own."

"Hey!"

"It's the truth Alicia, don't hide it," Jordan shot back.

"Oh I remember her, she's that girl that always challenged Adri in sports and got her ass kicked!" Anna announced while beaming, causing Alicia to blush in embarassment before glaring at her.

"Nice to see you're here too, shortstack," Alicia said, her glare intensifying.

"I'm sorry, I only talk to people that haven't lost to me in candy land."

"Um, okay...?" Erika looked at Alicia, a bored expression on her face. "Nice to meet you, I guess." She felt no need to state her name because she heard Alicia say it before. With a sigh, her eyes glanced back over at the window.

"Gah!" Felix jumped slightly when Aphrodite hugged him. "Nice to meet you too... I think?"

Drake laughed slightly at Felix's reaction, taking a seat near the entrance and pulling out his laptop. "Don't mind me, I'm just going to sit here. Pretend like I'm not even here." He put in some ear-buds, opening his laptop and typing away on the keyboard.

Felix, meanwhile, noticed the other people walking in. "This club gets more and more interesting people every day, it seems..."

"Not sure how much I can really contribute to any interview," Felix said, rubbing the back of his head. "Being the newest guy here and all."

"You should be more cheerful," Alicia said as she looked towards Erika, noticing that she seemed down about something. "Do you accept my challenge?"

"Yeah, I guess. It's not like you'll go away if I reject this offer." Erika replied to Alicia, ignoring the previous comment. She wasn't thinking of the consequences of her own choice, though she would have to deal with her new 'rival' later on.

"I like my hair though, it is like me." Madison sighed as she clutched her hair before adding., "Your boyfriend liked it."

"Please, my boyfriend likes anything plain," Dana remarked before pausing, "Not including me of course. Look all I'm saying is that if you wore your hair like you did at the party then everything is fine and you can be the next Melissa Harrison. She however had an Australian accent and you're just cute like a homely Southern girl," Dana smiled.

"Like I want people to know Madison not some clone of a jerk," Madison sighed before she started to perk up. "Ohh guess which movie I watched last night?" She seemed pretty excited in a way.

"A terrible movie or TV show?" Dana answered back.

"Nope, it was a movie called Flight and it had Denzel and it is about a pilot and drugs and drinking and it has Don Cheadle," Madison explained "It was so cool and it had Denzel!!!"

"Oh Madison, you really do watch films that nobody knows or cares about. I mean who has even see that movie?" Dana patted Madison on the arm before a voice came out of nowhere.

"I have and great movie. Dana, you owe me 20, Luck over Tannehill, why did you pick Miami?" The male had brown eyes, a Caucasian complexion with straight dark brown hair yelled at the top and a wicked smile.

"They were due and Madison, this is Tom, Tom, this is Madison," Dana rummaged through her purse and pulled out two ten dollar notes. "You guys met at the party and Here you go." She handed him the notes which he gleefully without any hesitation accepted with no issues.

Tom stuffed the money in his pockets before turning his gaze to the red head. "Hey, you were the sporty party girl that could catch footballs, beat me in beer pong and trip over into a swimming pool."

Oh how Madison loathed that memory as she was pretty clumsly but yet in sports, she was sturdy. She tripped trying to walk around the pool, into the abyss or the swimming pool which ever floats your boat, if you have one.

"Anyway great movie it is, I saw Color of Money last night for the 7th time. Paul Newman and Tom Cruise makin' me play pool at a pool cafe. Do you know any Dana?" Ton asked and was met with a shake of the head,

"I remember you, I out danced, drank, swam and actually I outdid you in everything. You never got my name." Madison giggled looking at Tom.

"Or your number, nah you're cool but can you throw a ball without drinking?" He asked as he stared at her intensely.

"Yes." She replied bluntly.

"Okay that's all the proof I needed, now excuse me as I talk to Dana." He dragged Dana who looked really bored. They were now alone away from anyone who could hear them. Madison was one of them but she didn't have a care for the world unless a piece of rock or a clown or even a rice cooker would fall from the sky.

"Yes?" Dana asked as she was now alone with Tom.

"20 on Cowboys beating Giants?"

"Yes, I'll take Giants and what else?" Dana asked knowing that this wasn't the lone question, a bet on the NFL.

"Ummm well actually since the party....but since you know, I'm not sure," He stumbled his words and was interrupted by Dana.

"Oh lord...." She put her left hand over her face and shooked her head, "Why?"

Sophie looked at Erika for a long moment and sighed, turning away from her so it didn't look as if she was watching the girl. Sophie did feel bad for Erika, she really did. Because on one hand, while the girl had probably done something to hurt her half-brother, she also knew that Erika likely had no idea that this was the case. Sophie would be the first to admit that her brother had... moods, in which it was impossible to reach him. And while he was brooding, it was not easy to get through to him. Looking over at Felix, she nodded in agreement. "I haven't been here long either, but I think I can pull something together." She said quietly, her usual fire subdued.

"Hold on a moment!" Aphrodite yelled out. "You," she pointed towards Alicia, "have to wait. Right now I have the club for something actually important instead of some petty little competition. So if you want to have a competition with Erika then you better make it another day," she ordered her, pushing up her glasses.

Zima while she didn't usually like Aphrodite or agree with her, did at this moment. And was surprised that the laid back girl had such fire in her at times. She realized that despite her actions and attitude, she was actually serious about her tasks.

"Well why do I..."

"Hey Luke, your girlfriend is being a pain in the ass," Jordan said from behind him, causing Alicia to turn around with wide eyes in shock as Jordan smirk. "Don't worry, I didn't actually call him, though I will."

"Fine," Alicia sighed and put her hands on her hips. "But you owe me for this four eyes."

"Isn't your boyfriend the one that wears glasses though," Jordan deadpanned as he looked at his friend.

"Yeah, but he looks cute in them you just looked weird," Alicia huffed and crossed her arms. "Can I at least stick around to see?"

"Sure, I don't mind, how about you Aphrodite?' Jordan asked curiously as he looked towards the senior.

Erika watched both Jordan and Alicia, eventually sighing in response. "Still not too sure what you're talking about, but okay." She shook her head slightly, looking over at Aphrodite. "Let me know whenever I'm needed." The bag sitting on the floor beside her was picked up and placed onto her lap. Pulling out a small blue recipe book, she began to read it.

Zane perked up at her words adding, "Me too. I can talk about my brand new and gorgeous clothing chart." He smiled, gesturing towards the piece of paper taped to the wall.

"What kind of recipe is it?' both Dia and Alicia immediately went over to Erika, their eyes glaced as they looked down at the book she had pulled out.

"None of your business." Erika replied, promptly shutting the book closed. It was a recipe for the basic composition of a vinaigrette and the different varieties of them, though her hand managed to block the cover.

"Oh brother," said Neil about the whirlwind of characters and activities going around him, not really caring much about any sort of interview or cooking challlenge. Neither one really concerned him.

"No way, no freaking way...seriously?" Dana stood there confused, stunned and somewhat hungry as she was told by Tom his little secret. It was pretty obvious but Dana did not expect it at all. "May I ask why?"

Tom looked at a tree that has been there for quite a while and has met the urine of several dogs. "Well I mean look at her and I just like her personality. I need to move on from the last girlfriend who cheated on me with that Nigerian exchange student from another school," He then stared at Dana, "Why not? What's the problem?"

Dana sighed as she took a deep breath, "I want a friend that isn't dumb and taken by some guy. Every team a friend of mine dates a guy, we don't stay as friends and plus what does she even have? Okay I see that she is pretty but it is not like some RP or fic where guys just fawn over her, she's just alright but I guess you did drink a lot and you don't want to be alone." The blonde teen shrugged with her eyes gazing at Madison who was gazing at the clouds.

"I think I have been alone for a while, Dana. I don't know there is something that I like about her, she's bubbly but kind of grounded, she is not delicate and she's pretty beautiful in my eyes." Tom explained looking at Madison.

"Your eyes need checking...." Dana sighed "Well if you want to take that risk and try to take her to a place where it is make or break and if she rejects you....Well good luck" She patted him on the back and whistled, "Have a good try,"

Tom cleared his throat and made sure that his breath was fine but he walked back towards Dana, "I can't do it," He looked at her. "What happens if I get rejected?"

"What happens if you don't, hey you made your decision...you go for it." Dana pushed him towards Madison. "Madison, Madison, Maddy....Tom wants to ask you something, isn't that right Tom?"

"Huh...oh right..." Tom cleared his throat, "Madison....I would...I'm just asking...I mean if you don't want to...you know..."

"Oh my god, just spill it you stupid baseball player." Dana yelled at him before punching him in the shoulder much to Madison's confusion who was just watching everything without a clue what so ever.

"Alright, alright...geez Dana." Tom turned towards Madison and smiled "Well Madison basically I want to know if you know...." He was about the blurt out until Dana interrupted him for taking too long.

"Madison, my friend here wants to know if you'll go on a date with him because he is scared to ask because he's a dumbass, okay?" Dana bluntly pointed out, reciting like it was a speech. She looked at Tom's face who was in shock horror and looked like he was going to shrink in embarrassment.

Madison blinked a few times trying to register what was said and trying to think of an answer before actually blurting out a word. She turned her gaze to Dana and then blinked a few times. She was trying to think of an answer, butterflies and all in her stomach probably fighting each other or eating each other. "Well I'm flattered that you asked me...I think I am. I mean I didn't expect this that early and you were super awesome at the party and you are pretty handsome but I don't know...." She gulped before deciding that she couldn't run away.

"Sure I would be honored to go on a date with you Tom but not Dana because that's super weird." Madison flicked her red hair with a smile before writing something down.

"Hey......yeah it is." Dana laughed.

Instead of hugging Madison, Tom hugged Dana who just patted him on the back and stared at Madison. At least he got her number and $20 before running off yelling, "I'LL CALL YOU AND YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THE BEST DATE EVER...." before it hit him "I have no idea what she likes....god dammit."

"I did not see that coming." The red hair teen pointed out looking at Dana who shrugged before sitting down on the grass again. "It's going to be so fun,"

Dana shook her head, "You guys are both weird..." before plucking out some grass and throwing them at Madison.
