Later on in the evening, you're back at home. You and Wendy are both watching TV. You're watching All in the Family. You laugh at the funny parts. Wendy says, "We oughta do something, girl. Something fun. Not just sit around this joint all damn day." 

You say, "Hey, man. I know." Wendy looks at you. You say, "A party at the mansion. We can bring Wayne with us. I want the Once-Ler with us too, man. He deserves it from all the shit he had to face with his old lady. I met her and she is in fact a major bitch. Just like my mom." 

Wendy says, "Shit. You serious? Lady Isabella? More like Lady Isabigot." You say, "Yeah. No kidding, man. His mom's a bitch. My mom's a whore." Wendy says, "Any way girl, both are shitty ass moms." 

You say, "You and Brenda have a great one, man. There were times I wish she were my mom, as well. At least my grandma and the old man have been good to me, despite my dad being in prison for nine years over something petty, man." Wendy says, "Yeah. I love mama." 

You say, "So what do you say about the party, huh? I'll bring my record player and a few vinyl records." She says, "Girl. Bring at least half of them. I know you got a big ass collection of bands from The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd. All that stuff." 

You smile and you say, "All that good stuff." She says, "Alright. Let's do it. I say around 7 or so." You say, "Hey, man. Works for me. Parties are better at night." You lay back on the couch and you say, "Anything to have Once-Ler near me, too. I love him, Wendy." 

She says, "Then girl. Let's have this party and get monster man's mind off his bigot ass mama." You smile and you say, "Bring some booze and weed, too." She smirks and says, "Talkin' my language, girl." You and Wendy go over your plans for the party.

****************************************************

Later on at around 7pm or so, you, Wendy and Wayne are inside the haunted mansion. The Once-Ler is with you guys. You've got another girl with you guys. A friend of yours and Wendy's from school. Jenny Wingert is her name. You're downstairs in the lounge, throwing a party. You've got your vinyl player set up and plugged in. The vinyl player is playing Space Truckin' by Deep Purple.

You're all dancing to it. You have a beer in your hand. The Once-Ler is leaning against the wall and he smiles and says, "This just what I needed." You walk to him and you say, "Hey. Hey, man. Come over here. Wendy's got a good stash of weed. I think you could try some. It'll get the edge off. What do you say, babe?" He says, "Alright. If you insist." You grin.

Wendy says, "Monster man. Get your ass over here and smoke some." Wayne comes over and says, "Dude. I'm totally down for it. Some good ol' cannabis, man." You all sit down. You set your beer down and you're leaning against the Once-Ler.

Wendy makes a joint and she gets it ready. She lights it and she takes a hit. She hands it to Wayne. Wayne takes a hit. He coughs a bit and says, "H-here, you two. Fly yourselves to the moon." Jenny says, "Wayne. You said that last time when you were about to snort some of that blow you got from your older brother." 

Wayne says, "Can I help that my bro's a coke dealer, man? Part of me wishes they'd legalize weed soon." You say, "That unfortunately won't be for another close to forty to fifty years in all states, man." 

He says, "Fuck. I forget we've got the granddaughter of Madame Laverne, man. And psychic and stuff like her, too." You say, "I found out it's just the girls in my family, man. It skipped my old man and got to ME." 

Jenny says, "Who knows? If you have a daughter, she'll probably be the same." You say, "Without a doubt. My grandma did say all women on my dad's side of the family become psychics when they grow older. Just the women. It's like some chain or something, man. I sense that one of the first states that will legalize weed one day is Colorado." 

Jenny says, "I'm moving to Colorado someday then." You take a hit and you puff. The Once-Ler can't take his eyes off of you. He's imagining something else. He sighs and smiles. The others looks at him. Wendy says, "Boy. What's your goddamn deal? You're lookin' at her as if she's kissing the head of your dick or something." 

The others laugh a bit. The Once-Ler blushes. You cough a bit and you say, "Hey. I'm not complaining. He'd probably love it, man." Once-Ler blushes even more. You hand the joint to him and you say, "Puff puff pass, baby." He takes it and he puts the joint to his lips. He leans his head back and you all watch as he takes a lot of it. The joint going down a bit from the flame. 

You grin and you say, "Far out, man! Woo!" Wayne says, "Ha ha! Yeah, man! You're really taking that shit in. Ghost man's pretty damn good with this." Wendy says, "You're gonna be coughin' like crazy, monster man." The Once-Ler gets done and he only lets out a throat clearing sound. A small one.

Jenny says, "All of that massive puffing and just a little sound out of you?" The Once-Ler grins and says, "Helps when you're a monstrous being." Jenny takes the joint and takes a hit. Wendy says, "Shit. He almost smoked up the whole damn thing. I'm rollin' a fatty, this time." You get up and you say, "Hold on, guys. I'm playing another song." You walk to the vinyl player and you put in a new record. 

You come back and it's playing Black Dog by Led Zeppelin. You smirk and you look at the others. They get up. You all start dancing to it. The Once-Ler drinks his drink and he smirks as he watches you dance. He pulls you close and you cling to him.

You both lean in to kiss. Wendy says, "Ha ha! You two are the biggest damn sluts up in this place right now!" Wayne says, "Pss. Wendy. Hey, man. Want some more weed?" She says, "Hell yeah. I rolled up that fatty for us to hit, boy." 

Jenny says, "I'm getting another beer, dudes." She walks off. You and the Once-Ler continue kissing. Jenny comes back with a beer. She cracks it open and she takes a drink. She says, "Who do you guys crush on? Celebrity wise." 

Wayne says, "Oh man. I'll have to say Debbie Allen." He looks at Wendy and says, "No wonder you're as hot. You look almost just like her, man." Wendy says, "Ch. Boy, back the hell off me before I send your ass up to Lady Isabella." She puffs her joint. He smirks and says, "Mm, I like them feisty, man." 

Jenny says, "I'd say Jack Nicholson, man. Or Richard Dreyfuss." Wendy says, "Then again, I'd go for the guy who was in A Clockwork Orange. The British actor." You look over and you say, "Malcolm McDowell?" She says, "Yeah, him." 

(Remember. It's the mid 1970s. These actors were still slightly young. Not even 40.)

You say, "Yeah, man. We saw that in theaters three years back. We saw The Exorcist last year." Wendy says, "Shit. That's right. We did, didn't we?" You say, "Yeah. Heh. Your mom has no idea we took Brenda with us to see The Exorcist." Wendy says, "Yeah. She didn't want little girl seein' it, either." You guys laugh a bit. 

Wendy says, "At least I paid the little girl two bucks to come see it with us." You say, "Oh man. You know how many people came out of the theater shaking and fainting after seeing that? It was crazy, man. No other horror movie made people do that." 

Wendy says, "I was more surprised when we came out the theater, the little girl said, "Let's see that again. Let's see that again. I said to her, "Little girl. You crazy." You all laugh a bit. Jenny says, "Heh. Seriously? My little brother would've shat himself if he saw that." You say, "Brenda's one tough cookie, man." Wayne says, "I was there too, man. I was high on LSD the entire time. Thought the possessed kid was coming after me." You all laugh.

(This was true. There's footage somewhere from 1973 with people seeing The Exorcist for the first time and coming out of the theater scared to death or crying and some even fainting after seeing it.)

As you all enjoy your party, a certain mother of the Once-Ler's is eavesdropping. She's right outside the door of the lounge and she chuckles. She says, "You kids enjoy your little party... for now. I'll get back at you eventually, (Y/N) dear. Don't forget. I'll be back for you. Oncie won't have a mere human like yourself taking him from here. Ever." She chuckles and she moves away. 

You sense a presence and you look over at the door. You whisper, "I know you're there, Izzy." The Once-Ler holds you close and he says, "Baby. It'll be alright. Just forget about her for now." You look at him and you say, "I just don't want her hurting you again, man. I'll do anything to have you with me." 

He says, "Don't worry, sweetheart. Like I said before... We'll both get back at her at some point." You kiss each other. The others say, "Awe." Jenny says, "I need to find me someone, man. Look at how happy they are." Wendy says, "Just don't find some sorry excuse of man. You feel me?" Jenny says, "I've had my share of jerks." She drinks her beer. You all enjoy your party the rest of the time.
