What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas

It was starting to get a bit cramped in the limo. Las Vegas was only about two hours from my house in Los Angeles. Jacquez and Venni had been silent for the last half hour. It was still really early in the morning. We wanted to check in early as possible.

“We will be arriving shortly to your destination Miss. Williams” my chauffeur Vince said

“I told you Vince you can call me Percy. And how close are we?” I asked

“We are in the city sin now”

“Holy…” Jacquez gasped looking though the tinted window

Sure enough when I gazed at the window I saw the “welcome to las Vegas” sign

Venni squealed in excitement. I did in the inside though I tried to compose my exuberance considering I was totally against this entire trip. `I just might enjoy this' I thought as Vince pulled in to The Venetian hotel, resort, and casino. And before Vince could open the door Venni flung the door open and ran inside the beautiful hotel. It was pretty amusing to see Venni run high heels even though she still looked really short. Jacquez and I got out the limo and a bellhop greeted us then up our bags in the luggage cart. Even though Vince tried to help the bellhop told him not too.

“Just call me Miss. Percy if you need a ride I'll be around” he told me then left .When Jacquez and I walked in the lobby we saw that most of the people in here were old and all in Ball gowns. I had to admit this place was impressive. The Venetian gothic architecture was outstanding tall golden pillars that went up to the ceiling and on the ceiling was painted it reminded me of the cathedral. The floors were marble and giant golden fountain in the middle. A lot of people stared at us. We clearly didn't fit in but Venni and Jacquez seemed pretty happy. I was still wearing my black ripped skinny jeans and boots. But for some reason Venni was in short (I mean VERY short) dress. I went to the front desk were a lady that had a smug look on here face eyed us suspiciously.

“Can I help you?” she asked

“Yes, Reservation for Williams party of 3”

“Oh, I think there is something wrong. You must have one of the Bella suites” the desk clerk said looking at her computer.

“No, my father reversed a Penthouse for my friends and me” I told the she looked appalled and looked at her computer again. Then straighten her face “Oh well, Miss. Williams how long are you planning on staying here at The Venetian?”

“Oh just call me Percy, and I'm staying here a week. It my birthday tomorrow I'm turning 21” I explained to her

“Are they in your party aswell, Miss Williams?” she asked I didn't know what she was talking about but I followed her eyes and entering through the turnstile doors. 5 gorgeous rock stars. A group I knew all to well and listen to there songs everyday and went to a few concerts. Venni grabbed my arm tightly and whispered the obvious in my ear.

“Percy! That's escape the fate!” she had whispered rather loudly in my ear. I just looked at her shaking my head and raising an eyebrow to let what she said sink.

“Duh” Jacquez said in a regular voice I just rolled my eyes I saw Venni cheeks flush and she turned away.

“No they're not” I told her she handed me my room card and the bellhop showed us to our room. This was also stunning. The penthouse room had 4 half-bathrooms, two luxurious tubs and jetted showers each with marble floors. A dinning area with a table fit for 8. A living room with a piano and big couch the warped around. 17” flat screen television with DVD player. Two rooms. One with 2 queen sized beds and one with a king sized bed with a fireplace and 32” TV that also had DVD player. “Hey look at this” Jacquez got our attention he push a button on a square piece of white plastic and the curtains opened the sun was just peeking over the hectic city. Venni sat in one of the chairs

“We're in Las Vegas! For a week! What are we going to do first?” she said in a frolicsome voice I could tell she was barely keeping it together she had so much excitement “How about getting some breakfast?” I suggested

“I could go for some of that” Jacquez added. With that we went to one of the restaurants down stairs and it was just so happened escape the fate was there too. The came the same time we had. Bryan opened the door for all of us

“Thank you! Venni said well almost yelled in a breathlessly way at Bryan. Bryan just smiled and said “You're welcome” he said

“So how long are you guys staying here?” Robert asked me

“For a week” I replied grabbing on of the plates at the end of the buffet

“Cool, we just decided to crash here for awhile” Craig added making his way in to the conversation. I sat with Robert and Craig and Bryan. Talking causally about anything really. I peeked over at Venni and Jacquez, who was eating with Michael and Max.

“Hey Percy, We're going white river rafting tour over at the Colorado river this afternoon. You and you're friends should come.” Bryan offered

“Oh yeah, you should” Robert insisted

“I don't know” I confessed

“C'mon why not?” Craig questioned furrowing his eyebrow

“I don't know I never been rafting before and I don't know if Venni and Jay would want to go either” I told them

“I'd love to go rafting!” Venni shouted from her table

“Wait who said and thing about rafting?” Jacquez inquired

“The guys invited us to go with them” she explained to him

“Then it settled I think the tour starts at 2” Craig announced

“Percy Asme Williams! How are you?” I heard an all too familiar voice from behind me I turned around in my chair only to discover what I dreaded it was. Remington Personage-wells. The bane of my existence

“What are you doing here Remington?” The man that I despised he was the son of one of the actresses my father dated and ever since I met him he harassed, picked on me and made sexual advances towards me. Remington was so unattractive though. His hair was orange and slicked back with who knows how much greasy gel. A big long crocked nose and a bad case of acne. I guess now matter how rich you are, plastic surgery was useless he was wearing a robe Pj pants and slippers and… he didn't have a shirt on which made me wanna gag my brains out even his chest had acne

“Oh just came from my penthouse to get some breakfast-Remington looked around me and shook his ugly head- Tsk tsk I guess they let any old rift-raft in The Venetian these days. Such a shame, well I'd better be off, see you later Percy” Remington left I hoped that I didn't have to see again

“Who was that?” Michael asked me

I explained to the guys about Remington and me relationship

“Well he sounds like he needs a hobby” Robert said

“Tell me about! Anyway so were meeting at lake mead a little before 2 I'm guessing?”

“Yeah, I guess we'll see you guys later then” Max said.

When Venni, Jacquez, and I left. I thought Venni was going to spontaneously combust. And was like that until we got to the penthouse

“- Michael laughed then Max was like `Whoa' then I said-” Venni went on and on so I finally cut her off

“Ok we get it Ven, you had a lot of fun talk to Max and Michael” I said

“Sorry” Venni apologized “I'm just excited about hanging out with escape the fate for a week and we're white water river rafting! What shall I wear?” Venni ran over to her suit case and started pulling out clothes and mumbling to herself

I took my suitcase in to my room. I took off my skinny jeans and swap them for a pair of dark denim short shorts. I also decided my boots were well equipped for hiking and rafting. I also didn't feel as if I should prepare any more considering it was about 10 o'clock. Kinda anticipating for Venni do to something stupid I went back in the room and she had changed from her dress to some white skinny jeans and wearing flats

“I don't think that is a good idea, what you're wearing”

“Why not?” she asked with an innocent blank expression she really had know clue

“Do you know what you do when you go rafting?”

“Isn't that in like a …boat or something?”

“Well I'm pretty sure there's hiking and going down a river with really fast currents”

“What should I wear then?”

I made a hand gesture to draw attention to my attire

“But I didn't pack boots or even tennis shoes!” Venni exclaimed she slumped in a chair

“Let's go get some then” I said

“Were?”

“Same place I got these” I said Venni looked at my boots then I saw a hint of discus even though she tried hiding it. It didn't bother me though. They were old worn down combat boots and I loved them

“And were exactly is that?” she asked slowly as if she was afraid of the answer

“Wal-mart”

~x~X~x

Vince came to pick us up he drop us of at Wal-Mart. I made my way to the back of the store were the shoes were.

“What size to wear?” I asked my best friend

“5 ½” she said I pulled out a box a pair of black combat boots like mine

“How about these?”

“Ah, how about brown? Black is your think remember”

“Oh yeah sorry” I searched the selves and came across a pair of light brown boots it had sort leather. I had to admit this was more Venni's style

“I like those!” Venni pointed out.

Venni and I were in check out line the “bane of my existence” decided to show up

“Oh Percy! Now you're following me? Oh dear if wanted too see me you just come out with it” Remington said sauntering over to me and Venni

“Why do you continue to harass me cant you find something else to do?” I retorted clearly annoyed

“Don't get so defensive! I noticed I was running low on my favorite candy and this was the closest place. I have not intention in following because apparently you're doing that just well enough” he said taking like 5 hearsay bars out of a box

“Did you know chocolate gives you acne, Remi? Venni said
