Lilith stirred awake from the distant sound of chatter being heard around her as she opened her eyes. The girl was still sat on Marcus's lap as it had now gone to be a later time of day as the sun began to shine into Lilith's open eyes, making her quickly adjust her eyes to her new surroundings.

"Morning sleepy." Marcus whispered to Lilith as she leaned herself forward to see Saya pulling into an parking area full of caravans. Lilith looked around at her surroundings, knowing exactly where she was, and who these people were. Hippies. Lilith knew what they meant. Drugs.

"So, Billy." The boy turned his around to see Lilith, wanting to know what she wanted. "You know where we are?" Lilith tilted her head at the boy as he nodded his head. "You guys smell that?" Lilith spoke to the group as Saya began to slow down the car. "The body odour" She continued, as Marcus looked intently at the girl.

"and self righteousness," Billy continued on as he continued to look over to Lilith, "It can only mean one thing." The green-haired boy continued as he rose his right eyebrow up at Lilith. "We've entered into," he made eye contact with Lilith as she nodded her at the boy, having a conversation between their eyes.

"into the dank domain of the hippie." Lilith and Billy sat the same time, with Lilith leaning forward to high five the green haired boy as they managed to say the same thing at the exact same time.

"Yo, I signed on for a road trip to Vegas." Willie spoke up, as the engine of the car stopped as Saya pulled the keys out of the ignition. "maybe have some laughs, meet some fly girls." Billy pointed to Willie, nodding at his statement, causing the three girls to roll their eyes. "What is this shit?" Lilith laughed as she jumped out of the car, leaving Marcus's lap as she walked over to the side that Saya was sat on, the girl looking around the group.

"Please don't tell me you're a deadhead, please." Lilith rolled her eyes at the same time smiling at the boy as he empathised on the word please by repeating it. "Hippies congregate here when they're not following Jerry Garcia's foul taint around." Lilith nodded her head as she watched Saya get out of the car, joining her by standing next to her. The two girls stared at one another as the four students still left in the car grew even more confused as to why they were here.

"For real guys? You don't know why we are here?" Lilith questioned the four, earning a shake of the head to come from them all, causing both her and Saya to roll their eyes.

"Hippies have drugs." Saya spoke, as Lilith nodded at the statement. The realisation hit the four in the car as Maria nodded her head, "Ah," she spoke, the boys repeating what she said seconds afterwards. Lilith watched as Billy looked at her before looking at Saya, opening the car door as he jumped up out of his head.

"Since when did you partake?" Billy questioned the girls, before quickly shaking his head at Lilith knowing immediately as to why she knew about hippies and drugs, in addition to knowing that she already took part in taking drugs. "Specifically you Saya?" Billy questioned the girl, as she crossed her eyes.

"I grew up Yakuza." She spoke up, answering Billy's question. "I managed a champagne club when I was thirteen." Lilith nodded her head as she rose her hand up to Saya, getting a quick high five in return as Willie, Maria and Marcus joined the three students out of the car, forming a circle within themselves. "Hardcore, not some rookie-hour baby bullshit you pansies get up to." Maria leaned herself forward, as Lilith watched as she hit Billy as he pulled funny faces as Saya spoke. Lilith laughed as she joined Maria in hitting the boy, Billy quickly laughing at their reaction.

Lilith placed her hand out at her boyfriend who was stood on the other side of the car from the rest of the group. "What?" Marcus questioned the girl as his eyebrows get together in confusion.

"Money please." Lilith curled her fingers to her, as an indication for Marcus to hand over his money. "Why would i do that?" Marcus rose his eyebrow up at the girl as he leaned himself forward against the car door.

Lilith copied his actions, leaning herself forward, placing her arms against the car door, staring at Marcus. She rose her eyebrow, as she saw Saya join her leaning her arms against the car.

"You can't trust those crunchy fuckers." Saya spoke up as she looked up to Marcus. Lilith nodded her head at Saya's statement as she looked at Saya to see her smirking at Marcus.

A hint of jealously drove over Lilith she looked over to Marcus, him returning the smirk to Saya. Lilith rolled her eyes as she grew annoyed, pulling her arms off the car, straightening herself up.

"Whatever, I'm going to the bar." Lilith mumbled to herself as she waved goodbye to the group, ignoring any of the questions the group were asking her.

Marcus watched Lilith walk away before quickly look back over to Saya. "You don't think i can tell if someone is selling me bunk drugs?" Marcus asked Saya, as her and Maria looked at the boy with a questioning look.

"Mhmm" the two girls said in response to Marcus's question, "let me deal with it." Saya said to the boy as he shook his head.

"Yeah we'll take care of our own." Marcus quickly replied, as Saya stuck her middle finger up at the boy as her and Maria left the boys, walking into the depths of the hippie domain.

Lilith entered the bar, the smell of weed and alcohol filling her nose as she smiled at the quiet bar. Lilith nodded to herself as she walked through the room, noticing the multiple pairs of eyes staring at her. Lilith decided to just shrug them off as she continued to walk towards an empty table near the bar.

Just as Lilith sat down at the table, she felt a presence standing in front of her. Looking up, she saw a waitress, smiling as she looked down at Lilith.

"Can i get you anything?" The girl asked Lilith, of which Lilith nodded her head, as she leaned back in her chair. "Vodka and coke please." Lilith answered the girl nicely as the waitress nodded before leaving Lilith to go to the bar.

Lilith took a deep breathe as she grabbed her necklace around her neck, grabbing ahold of the golden pendant. Looking down at it, the girl smiled as she remembered the day Billy and Willie gave her it as a birthday present.

It was a present for her 14th birthday and Lilith had spent the day with Billy and Willie as their way of cheering her up. Two days before her birthday, Master Lin had called Lilith into his office to give her some unfortunate news about not being able to find her brother and sister, of whom had gone missing after her other brother had killed her parents before her. Lilith couldn't process what she had been told.

Ever since that day of Master Lin announcing to Lilith that he could not find her siblings, Lilith began to break, of which resulted in her psychotic break during her second year. The vulnerability Lilith had put herself in knowing her siblings were missing and that her older murderous brother was on the run, began to overwhelm the girl.

"I didn't realise you still wore that." Lilith jumped, letting go of the necklace as it hit against her chest. Looking up she saw Willie sitting down to the right of her. Lilith smiled at the boy as she looked over to him.

"Yeah well, I've never taken it off since you and Billy gave it to me." Willie smiled back at the girl as he looked up. Intrigued, Lilith looked up to where Willie was looking to see the waitress making her way over with her drink.

Lilith smiled at the girl as she she made her way over to the desk. "Here you go, one vodka and coke." Lilith grabbed out a 20 dollar note out of her pocket, holding it out to the waitress as she placed Lilith's drink down on the table.

"Oh you're too generous." The girl said as she gently grabbed the note out of Lilith's hand as she placed the dollar note into her front pocket before turning around, giving a quick wave to Lilith as she carried on with her job.

Lilith didn't realise that Marcus had joined the group until she looked back to the table. Lilith rolled her eyes as she leaned her body forward to grab her drink as she Locked eyes with Marcus.

Lilith decided to forget the jealously she felt earlier as she smiled over at the boy, him doing so in return, as he leaned himself back against the chair.

"Feeling anything yet? Acid King?" Lilith sniggered at Willie's question as she continued to look at the boy. "Let me guess, you used all your money on a dud?" She continued to laugh as Marcus shook his head.

"I think it's bunk." Marcus spoke up, earning a laugh to come out of Lilith and Willie's mouth. "That's what i just said lovely." Lilith said as she winked at Marcus of whom was giving her a unimpressed look.

Lilith was about to speak up to the boy when she saw Maria and Saya running over to the table, Maria immediately sitting next to Marcus, Saya sitting in between Lilith and Maria.

Lilith took a sip of her drink, the taste of vodka lightly hitting the back of her mouth as it blended in with the coke.

"Ready to have the best fun ever?" Saya shouted to the table as Lilith looked at her, before quickly laughing. As she finished laughing quickly after, Lilith took another chug of her drink, gulping down half of the glass.

"Damn skippy." Willie mumbled, as Lilith flicked her hand at the boy, before quickly smiling. "Liven up Willie." The boy rolled his eyes before looking over to Maria as she opened her mouth. "You're so uptight all the time." Her accent coming through her words as Willie once again rolled his eyes.

Lilith looked over to see Marcus leaning himself forward to look directly into Maria's eyes, the sense of jealously crawling over Lilith again. Willie watched Lilith as he noticed a sense of emotion being shown on her face as he looked between Maria and Marcus and Lilith.

"Have fun, unwind, Marcus. Be yourself." Maria spoke up as she leaned closer to Marcus, making Lilith's blood begin to boil.

Marcus looked over to his girlfriend, before quickly looking back at Maria as he nodded his head. "I- yeah okay." He spoke up as Maria smiled at the boy.

"I want this to be fun." Maria continued, as she began to poke Marcus's chest. "I want to have fun with you, guapo." Willie's eyes grew wide as he saw Maria's face only inches away from Marcus as she continued to poke his chest.

Alarmed, Willie looked over to Lilith to see the veins more visible on her hands as she tightened the grip around her glass. Lilith felt the pulse in her hand as she calmed herself down from letting out a sudden outburst of violence, stopping herself from tackling Maria down to the ground at this very second.

"Do you want to have fun?" Maria asked the boy again as she finally stopped poking the boy.

"Sure."

Lilith's eyes grew wide, as she pulled the glass to her mouth, downing the rest of the contents in the glass before slamming it down onto the table, earning a look from Marcus as he stared at the girl. He immediately leaned away from Maria as he sensed that his girlfriend wasn't very happy.

"You know Maria." Lilith spoke up as she leaned back in her chair, raising her right eyebrow up at the girl as she looked over. "I would appreciate it if you." Lilith pointed to Maria, her eyes growing wide. "Would stop poking Marcus. That doesn't mean fun. Go poke someone else who hasn't got a girlfriend."

"Oh wait, you have a boyfriend. Go fucking poke him." Lilith snarled as she leaned herself forward, as Willie tried his hardest not to burst out laughing. Instead, he covered his wanting to laugh by coughing.

Lilith smirked as she knew what Willie was doing, before smiling as she looked at Maria. "I'm only joking Maria." Lilith smirked at the girl, who looked worried at the girl.

"It's Vegas, let's have fun." Lilith smiled as she leaned back in her chair once again. She wasn't joking. But she could see that Maria had gotten her message. And that's all she wanted.

"Hey Lilith," Saya spoke up, causing Lilith to look over at her smiling. "We found a guy with some real primo shit." Lilith rose her eyebrow as she nodded her head at the girl.

"Have fun getting money from him." Lilith nodded her head over at Marcus as she smirked at the boy whose eyes grew wide as he shook his head at Lilith. "Karma." She mouthed to the boy as she looked back to Saya.

"Give me your money." Saya demanded the boy as he looked over to Willie who just shrugged his shoulders. Saya sighed as she shook her head.

"I warned you about these crunchy hippies and their bunk drugs, and you didn't listen to me." Lilith sniggered as she laughed at Marcus as he looked over to Saya before looking at her. "And now you've thrown your money away." Saya continued as Lilith smirked at the boy as he stopped looking at her and now at Saya.

"Wasn't that a mother goose tale?" Maria asked as she laughed, Lilith nodded as she laughed with the girl.

"Mhm," Saya spoke up as she looked at Lilith, "well me and Maria got enough for us, and for Lilith." Lilith smiled as she winked at Saya, of which she winked back in return. "But you, the little piggy." Lilith laughed at Saya, as Marcus rolled his eyes. "Who built his house with bunk drugs, gets to enjoy the rest of the trip sober."

"Ooo, what a shame Marcus." Lilith chimed in as Marcus faked laughed at the girl, causing her to stick her middle finger up at the boy as she stuck her tongue out at him, before blew a kiss to her in return.

"We'll see." Was all Marcus said as he stood up from the table, heading towards the bar.

Lilith watched as the boy headed towards the bar, his fake ID swirling around in his hand. Resting her head against her head, Lilith watched as Marcus stared at the barman before quickly turning around as he stomped his way back over here with a sad puppy look on his face.

"Oh poor you Marcus." The group laughed as Marcus slammed down his fake ID on the table before slamming himself against the chair.

"I'd offer to help, but I know you prefer to score for yourself." Lilith smiled as Marcus did not look impressed by the comments her and Saya had just made to the boy. Lilith was about to make another comment when she felt someone behind her.

Turning her head around, there stood a hippie, swaying to himself as he made himself noticed by the group of teenagers. "Hey hey. I heard you kind folks are looking for some doses." The man spoke up as Lilith watched as Willie looked unimpressed as he rolled his eyes.

"I got some real good windowpane blotter for you, my little sun stars, that'll get you centred." The man continued as Lilith rolled her eyes, wanting the man to get to the point of where he would sell the drugs. "So you can experience this harmonious trip on starship earth." The man finished his speech as Lilith looked over to Marcus, the look on his face showing that he wasn't believing anything this man had to say after his situation with getting bunk drugs.

"Get out of here with your bunk drugs, jelly hippie." The man looked taken aback as his eyes grew wide at Marcus's outburst. Saya and Maria looked over to Marcus shaking their heads as Lilith just laughed at the boy.

"This stuff is good." The man took a deep breath as he looked into Marcus's eyes, "it's real uh, visual." The man pulled out some acid strips, placing them on the table, causing Lilith to lean forward to look at the drugs. "Hey i got ten hits here." He said as the acid became visible to the group of teenagers.

"So you try them out, and if you like them," he shrugged his shoulders as Saya and Maria joined Lilith in looking closer at the drugs before the two girls took a hit each. "I'll come back and then maybe you can buy some." Lilith shrugged her shoulders as she looked at the acid, thinking it looked like the real deal as she picked up a hit.

Leaning over to Willie, the boy shook his head as Lilith offered him an hit, causing her to shake her head as she placed it in her mouth.

"No I'm good." Willie said as Maria also offered Willie a hit, but Saya was too quick as she placed a hit into Willie's mouth. "Too late." Lilith laughed as she shook her head at the disgusted expression plastered onto Willie's face. "Come on man!" He exclaimed as he continued to shake his head, his mouth slightly open.

"No worries Willie." Marcus spoke up as he looked over at Willie. "We've already been burned once today." He continued as he picked up the 6 huts that were left on the table. "Fuck your sham drugs." And with that, Marcus placed all 6 hits of the acid into his mouth.

"Marcus!" Lilith shouted as she hit her hand against her forehead, shaking her head at the careless boy.

"Woah," The man said as he stood there shocked as the students and him watched Marcus take way too many hits of acid at a time. "Well good luck man." The man added on as he walked away from the table, leaving the four students to stare at Marcus dumbfounded.

"Dude that was six hits." Saya said to the boy as he looked around, surprised as to why his four friends were so intensely staring at him.

"It, it was probably bunk right?" Lilith laughed as leaned forward to Marcus. "You better wish they were." She smirked at the boy as she had a feeling that these weren't bunk drugs.

And she was right.
