VI
THE GROUP of Serpents watch the movie at the Drive In, constantly shushing each other when one makes a comment.
"I'm just saying I would go for it. It's obvious she likes him back," Fangs states, pointing to the movie screen, earning him a slap to his face to silence him, "Oh my gosh Jazz will you stop!"
The blonde raises her middle finger to her lips and shushes the boy.
Sweet Pea looks at his best friends and just smirks, putting an arm over her shoulders.
"Stop fighting children," Toni exclaims but Jazz just grins and leans her head on Sweet Pea's shoulder.
Jazz watches the movie as Sweet Pea just admires her with a smile, the two not noticing Toni and Fangs sharing a look.

The next day Jazz sits on a couch in The Wyrm, taking a swig from a bottle of alcohol. She glares off into space, showing to almost everyone that she is in a bad mood.
Toni and Fangs have tried approaching her but have gotten no response from the blonde. They finally called Sweet Pea and told him that it was an emergency and that he had to come to the White Wyrm immediately.
Sweet Pea runs in with a panicked look on his face and looks around, trying to find out the emergency. He opens his mouth to ask his friend what was wrong but then spots the angry Jazz sitting near the back of the room.
"She's been like that for an hour at least. She hasn't responded once to any of us. So we decided to call her best friend," Toni says, walking up beside him, arms crossed and looking at the blonde, "Maybe she'll talk to you."
Sweet Pea doesn't even respond, instead he strides over to the girl and sits next to her. He earns no response from her so he speaks up.
"Hey princess," he says in a soft tone, "How are you doing?"
Jazz keeps staring straight ahead but tears threaten to leave her eyes. The serpent immediately noticed and his eyebrows furrow in concern.
"J. What happened?" he says in a more demanding voice.
The blonde slowly turns her head to him, tears brimming and a pained look on her face, "He's back Sweet Pea. He's back."
Toni and Fangs watch the two from afar and watch them embrace in a hug. The boy lets out a frustrated sigh and hands the girl next to him five dollars.
"I can't believe you were right that Sweet Pea could calm her down," Fangs grumpily says, crossing his arms.
Toni just smirks and watches the two.
