A night to remember

The music blared from wall to wall and she felt as if she was floating on a cloud. The crowd seemed to move in slow motion to the high tempo beats. Purple lighting, fog machines, and blue neon signs took her newly acquired high to a whole new level. Dazed and moving effortlessly in sync to the rhythm she could live in this moment for eternity. The 80s would be coming to a close soon so she felt the need to make the most of the next few years before some odd, foreign decade took over. A hand tugged at her shoulder.

"Suri! Suri! Girl how long do you want us to stay here? I thought we were supposed to meet up with Steven and Vaughn?!" she said clearly annoyed and checking her watch.
"Aryn we're gonna meet up with them. I promised you that. They aren't going anywhere. Enjoy the vibe lady! Besides, it's good luck for a woman to keep a man waiting- if he leaves, then he wasn't really interested."
They laughed as Suri took her hand and they began dancing to the beat.

She could always put a smile on Aryn's face no matter what the occasion or circumstance. Aryn would follow to her gladly to the pits of hell as long as Suri flashed that million dollar smile at her.She wanted to be just like her, whatever that meant and at whatever cost.  Tonight was a special night. Tonight was their first night on the town as city girls. They had just moved into a matchbox sized apartment, painted the walls teal green with yellow accents, and were set to meet up with two of the hottest guys in the area. They'd met them at a local pizza parlor. The guys saw two beautiful girls arguing over which toppings to include on their pie, and they walked over to mediate the situation. They promised to settle their issue for them as long as the girls promised they would take down their phone numbers and meet up again soon. Today was the perfect day to see them again. Aryn couldn't help imagining what her date might smell like outside of the overwhelming scent of pizza crust.

"Okay Suri. We really should be going. It's after ten o'clock.They said they'd pick us up at 10:30pm." she urged.
 "Alright, alright, alright. Let's go," she replied rolling her eyes and surrendering reluctantly. She wasn't particularly fond of spending the rest of her evening with those two guys when she could have a great time with by herself with the DJ's talented playlist. They exited the party and the double doors flung open sending in a strong gust of cold night air causing both of them to shudder and cover their shoulders with their jackets. They stood with their backs to the wall impatiently waiting for the guys to arrive.

"Are you happy now? We're standing outside in the cold waiting for two knights in shining polyester to pick us up. Wonderful," she said.
"Yes, if you're honestly asking. I am happy. Those men are gorgeous and our night will only get better once they open the car door for us." Aryn replied.
"Gorgeous? Well I guess the are pretty good looking huh?" she chuckled.
Suddenly a brown two door coupe pulled up and honked excitedly. "
"Hehehe! That must be them!" Aryn blurted clearly impressed. The passenger side door opened and Vaughn stepped out wearing a camel toned trench coat. He beamed with pride as the two ladies approached the car.  "Good evening ladies," ha said as he pulled back the passenger seat allowing them to step into the backseat.

"Are these the super models we met at the pizza joint?" Steve said with a smile. They all laughed in unison and Steve turned the radio dial to look for something upbeat.
" Hey hey hey! Leave it there!" Aryn shouted when she heard the chorus to "Oh Sheila."  They all sang along off key as the car rolled down the street. They pulled over to a nearby parking lot while Ready for the World buzzed in their ears. The boys opened the doors and invited the girls to sit up front with them. The melody to Wham's "Careless Whisper" began to play and the guys  gave each other a wink knowing the timing couldn't be better.

"Suri why don't you come and sit with me?" Vaughn suggested.
"And Aryn you can come and keep me company" Steven echoed.
They began to kiss and grope causing the windows to fog mildly against the cold night air. Vaughn slipped his hand up Suri's blouse, reach his fingers into her bra, and pulled out a small vile.
"What's this?" he said breathing heavily as he slowly pulled his lips away from hers.
" That's my party in a tube" she said with a smirk.
"Oh okay, I see" he replied opening the vile and taking a bit onto his pinky nail. He sniffed swiftly and called out to the others "Hey guys anybody want to join the party?" Suri happily joined in, and passed it over to Steven who shrugged his shoulders and took his turn as well.

"No thanks, don't pass that stuff this way" Aryn said holding her hands up in a halting motion.
"Don't be such a prude Aryn!" Suri shouted. She couldn't believe that Aryn would drag her off of the dance floor to meet up with these guys and then have the nerve to pull one of her 'goodie two shoes' stunts. Not tonight. No way. Suri yanked the vile from Steven's hands and shoved it in Aryn's face. "Here!" she said clearly irritated.
"Okay fine." Aryn said with a sigh and nervously took a sniff of the powder. She felt a surge of energy and started giggling. "Ah, there you go" Suri replied as she took another hit. They continued to circle the vile until Suri grabbed the it and shouted "Alright that's enough everybody!" in a sluggish tone.
 "I want a little more. C'mon don't get stingy" Aryn said whimsically.
 "I don't know about that"  she replied.
"Aw c'mon Suri keep the party going and give the girl a little more" Steven said reclining his seat back and kissing Aryn on the neck.
"Yeah, go ahead" Vaughn chimed in.
" Okay okay" Suri said as she handed the vile over to her.
Aryn took a heavy shot up her nose and held her nostrils as she sniffed repeatedly. Her body shook uncontrollably and she collapsed lifelessly onto Steven's chest.
Her eyes stared blankly at Suri.
