Oh, so horny....Ohh, so, so horny....Oh, so horny.

     Me love you long time

     Oh, so horny....Ohh, so, so horny....Oh, so horny.

     Me love you long time

     Me, so horny....So, so horny... Me, so horny.

     Me love you long time.

     Me, so horny....So, so horny... Me, so horny.

     Me love you long time.

The looks she gave us as she mouthed those words, the way her hands kept traveling up and down the front of her shirt and shorts...  I had to slap myself hard just to make sure it was really happening.

     Sittin' at home with my dick on hard, I got the black book for a freak

          to call.

     Picked up the telephone then dialed the seven digits.

     Said yo this is Marquis baby, are you down with it?

     I arrived at her house, knocked on the door.

     Not having no idea of what the night had in store.

As Suzi turned her back to us, Joey and I looked at each other with grins of disbelief, confirming to each other we had heard the words right, but then bolted our attention back to our wiggling worming woman as she kneeled and bent over backwards to look at us.

     I'm like a dog in heat, a freak without warning.

     I have an appetite for sex 'cause me so horny.

     Oh, me so horny....Ohh, so horny....Oh, me so horny.

     Me love you love time.

     Oh, me so horny....Oh, so, so horny....Oh, me so horny.

     Me love you long time.

My eyes had been glued to her face while she lip-synced the Oh, me so horny bits, not catching the fact her bending backwards turned into laying down on her back until her legs shot up in the air and she started to slowly hump her wet shorts.

     Girls always ask me why I fuck so much.

     I say what's wrong baby doll with a quick nut?

     'Cause you're the one and you shouldn't be mad.

     I won't tell your momma if you don't tell your dad.

     I know he'll be disgusted when he sees your pussy busted.

     Won't your momma be so mad if she knew I got that ass.

As her humps became higher, she started slipping her shorts up her legs and revealing her wet satin panties clinging tightly to her pumping crotch and ass.  The noise of the crowd sharply increased as they saw this was for real, and for a moment I saw a satisfied smile cross Suzi's lips.

One of the other girls lost her balance while slinking back up to her feet, landing in lap of one of the guys behind us.  She would have had to fight him off if Joey hadn't commanded him to help her back up, but then once she got back into rubbing her tits through her wet shirt, it was obvious she was that much more turned on than the rest for having made contact with the lump in his shorts.

     I'm a freak in heat, a dog without warning.

     My appetite is sex, 'cause me so horny.

     Oh, me so horny....Ohh, so horny....Oh, me so horny.

     Me love you long time

     Oh, so horny....Oh, so, so horny....Oh, so horny.

     Me love you long time.

The girls had their backs to us when we heard the first sounds of clothing getting torn, and as the crowd started going nuts, Suzi started slowly turning around, revealing she had ripped the shirt from the bottom almost all the way to the collar, right between her two womanly mounds of flesh.

Now Joey and I were no strangers to those breasts.  We both knew them inside and out through all the threeways we had shared.  But it was still an erotic thrill to catch fleeting glances of the skin hiding under the flapping edges of her torn shirt, and we certainly weren't the only ones who felt that way too.

     You can say I'm desperate.

     Even call me perverted, but you'll say I'm a dog when I leave

          you fuckin' deserted.

     I'll play with your heart just like it's a game.

     I'll be blowin' your mind while you're blowing my brain.

     I'm just like that man they call Georgie Puddin' Pie.

     I'll fuck all the girls in and I make 'em cry.

They all had their backs to the audience, which meant they were all facing us when they finally finished their teasing and tore the fabric the rest of the way.  Heheh.  Suzi crossed her eyes in frustration when she discovered that the tear hadn't met up with her already cut collar and had to really struggle to rip it the rest of the way.

     I'm like a dog in heat, a freak without warning.

     I have an appetite for sex 'cause me so horny.

     Oh, me so horny....Ohh, so horny....Oh, me so horny.

     Me love you love time.

     Oh, me so horny....Oh, so, so horny....Oh, me so horny.

     Me love you long time.

The wild hooting and stomping from the audience surprisingly stopped when they twirled around with their arms protecting their chests.  But then they started to fondle their tits, first through the remaining shreds of their shirts, then causing a wave of gasps as they outright pulled their breasts out from under their cover and made them swell in their grasps.

Of course some girls' breasts swelled more than others, but it didn't seem to matter to anyone at the time.  There were eyes bulging, people stumbling, and even someone crying "Yeeeeeee HAAAWWW" when they did that.  All over the room people were scrambling to see, and for a moment I thought the entire crowd would just fall on top of each other.

     Oh, Oh, so horny....Ohh, Oh so horny....Oh, me so horny.

     Oh so, so horny....Oh, me so horny.

     Me love you long time

I noticed the first camera flash at that point, and then suddenly there were a lot more camera flashes all over the place.  Joey and I quickly took care of that, but we let the guy with the camcorder keep rolling so we would have our own little keep sake from the event.

     It's true you were a virgin until you met me.

     I was the first to make you hot and wetty wetty.

     You tell your parents that we're going out.

     Never to the movies, just straight to my house.

     You said it yourself. You like it like I do.

     Put your lips on my dick and suck my asshole too.

By the time the camera problem was under control, Suzi was sliding her torn shirt between her legs, her face all flushed and her eyes shut with her growing lust.  As her feet went farther and farther apart, her mouth open wider and wider with her gasps and heavy breaths, then all of a sudden she did a few fast thrusts before turning around towards us and pulling her panties right off with a growl.

All the audience could see was their asses with flashes of maybe some pubic hair as they stepped out of their underwear and tossed them up in the air.  I got hit in the back of the head by one, Joey caught another, and despite the fact we were somewhat distracted by this, we didn't miss it when Suzi stood up and ran her fingers through her bush teasingly.

     I'm a freak in heat, a dog without warning.

     My appetite is sex, 'cause me so horny.

     Oh, me so horny....Ohh, so horny....Oh, me so horny.

     Me love you long time

     Oh, so horny....Oh, so, so horny....Oh, so horny.

     Me love you long time.

They didn't turn around towards the audience, just kept themselves facing us as they made a fist and slid it down between their legs, then slowly started humping their simulated dicks.  The crowd was going nuts as the girls increased their speed, and one by one they landed on their butts before planting their shoulders and lifting their crotches into the air and humped like mad until they came with a scream.

     Fucke suck me...Fufucke sucke me...Me fucke sucke.

     Fufucke suck me...Me fucke sucke...Fufucke sucke

     Me fucke sucke...Fufucke suck me...

     Me fucke sucke...Fufucke sucke me

     Me so horny....So, so horny....Me, so horny.

     Me love you long time.

     Me fucke sucke...Fufucke sucke me

     Me so horny.

Shit did that ever stir things up.  Joey and I were busy tripping guys with their own feet as ten of them tried to rush up and get a piece of the incapacitated women, then we had to break up three different fights before I made someone turn out the lights and had all the guys in the center escort the women into the back where they could recover and get dressed.

Joey carried two of them at once, while I relieved Suzi of the job of gathering up the panties and shorts scattered about.  But then when I finally got back with their garments, Joey was holding Suzi against him while giving her little kisses on the forehead, she being as limp and exhausted as the rest.

Most of the women already had their original grad T-shirt on, making me realize Suzi had managed to get a hold of some extras and apparently had cut starting notches so they would rip easily during their dance.  By the time I had distributed the rest of the clothes, Suzi and Joey were sitting on the floor with Suzi sitting between his legs and laying against his chest watching me while Joey caressed her arms and shoulders with his eyes closed.

"Wow, Suz," I said as I approached them and handed her clothes to her.  "There's no way we can come close to what you did.  It was... incredible."

She grinned with still a touch of red in her cheeks, then lazily tried to hook her panties on her foot and missed.

"Here.  I'll help you with that," I said, getting down on my knees and grabbing them.

"Thanks," she said with a little yawn, then lifted her foot up a bit so I could slip it through a leg hole.

She didn't really purposely try to make it difficult, but I was sweating a little bit by the time I had them up to her thighs.  And then I had a hell of a time resisting the urge I had to bury my face in her lap, but I knew she was too wiped out and we really didn't have the time, so I just stole a kiss from her other lips and heaved ho.

After having to go through the whole process again to get her shorts on, I ended up collapsing beside Joey to get my breath back, then found the room littered with exhausted women who fifteen minutes before had experienced probably the greatest orgasm so far in their lives.

Women...  I pondered on when I started thinking of them as women and not girls.  Up until their climax, I had considered them to be girls like they always had been to me.  But now they...  Graduated I suppose.  It wasn't really logical I knew, but knowing they all had exposed themselves in the most personal way to their peers made them...  More mature isn't quite the word for it.  Just...  I guess they simply didn't fit in the category of being girls any more, that's all.

Suzi turned herself towards me and cuddled up against Joey's chest before yawning again and saying, "I've already had your dance postponed until later, so we have time to make something up."

"I'm already working on that," Joey said before opening his eyes and looking around.  "Shit.  I guess there's no hurry though from the looks of things."

Feeling a bit tired myself, I laid my head against Joey's shoulder and stifled a yawn before saying, "Well as long as it's over by four thirty."

"How come?" Joey asked while trying to scratch his ass on the opposite side of me.

I tried to keep from grinning, but Suzi caught it and said, "Oh, that's right...  Timmy's little surprise."

"Heh..  Shit I forgot all about it," Joey said, looking over at me with an analyzing gaze.  "I guess it wouldn't do any good to ask for a clue or two, would it?"

"Nope," I said with a grin.  "You're just gonna have to wait like everyone else."

"Well, you'd have to do something pretty fantastic to beat what Suz just pulled off," Joey said with a dare in his voice.

"Oh, I don't know.  I've had two weeks to get ready, while Suzi had maybe an hour.  But I'm not trying to compete with any of the other...  uhm... activities.  It's just my... graduation present to everyone, that's all."

Suzi wrapped her arms around Joey like a pillow and snuggled in deeper to his chest with a sigh before saying softly, "Well, I've done all I'm going to do for this graduating class.  I officially retire from my political career."

"Heh, yeah, and what a retirement," Joey said, stroking her hair.

"Well, like they say.  Better to go out with a bang than to slowly fade away," she said with long yawn.

"More like a lust filled orgasmic scream," I said sitting up and stretching.

Suzi's eyes were closed, but she smiled at my joke and lazily slapped my chest in protest.  I watched her smile fade away as she let herself slip further towards sleep, then looked up at Joey to see if he was going to stay awake.

He did have his eyes closed, but I could feel his mind churning away at what we would do for our dance routine, so I just patted him on the shoulder before standing up and going out to find something to eat.  I could see that Joey wanted this to be his graduation gift, and I knew whatever he came up with would probably be just as good as what Suzi and the other women did.  I was just glad I didn't have to be the one to figure out how.

As I got my snack, I became aware of the higher level of tension all around me.  The party was being run by parents, but we made sure none of them would see our little unscheduled show earlier to prevent any possible conflicts of interests, so to speak.

But not only were they having troubles over something, I discovered there were roving groups of guys circling the place, watching the girls and avoiding the adults, looking as if they were waiting for the right moment to strike.

As I scanned these groups, I found they were all really horny and frustrated, most of them having never witnessed a live striptease, much less watch a woman bring herself to orgasm like they had just seen.  The girls on the other hand were for the most part over the whole thing, although there were a few who had gone off with their boyfriends to find someplace out of sight to mess around a bit.

I was in the middle of counting how many of them had succeeded in finding such a spot when I heard the "Oh, I'm so horny" coming from the dance room and was immediately attracting the roaming packs of horny cocks.  I followed them in and watched them joke around as they absorbed the lyrics and even dance a bit, but as they played it for the fourth time, I really started having a bad feeling about all this.

I opened a thought channel immediately with Joey and thought to him, "Joey, I hope your routine is almost ready and can be expanded to handle twenty seven more guys.  If not, I'm gonna have to have a group jerk off or something to keep the peace."

After explaining the situation to him and linking him up to a few of the guys so he could see, we made a couple of quick decisions, then I went up to the guy playing the CD and had him surrender it to me.

Shit, I almost got mugged, that's how fast they turned nasty on me when I tried to explain.  I ended up having to blanket them into believing the reason they were so horny was because they wanted to do what the girls did in front of everyone that night.  It was all I could think of at the time.

Suzi came out of retirement long enough to organize the other women to go out and spread the word about the second half was going to start around two thirty, and any guy who wanted to join it should report in the dance room at two o'clock sharp.

Surprisingly we had nearly fifty guys in the dance room by two a.m., including Brad who had come up to me wanting to get the scoop on what they would have to do.

"I don't have a clue, Brad.  Joey's running this half of the show, not me.  Why? You thinking of joining us too?"

"Yeah man.  Gloria's made me agree to a bunch of shit, and she's like not really sure I'll keep my word.  I was gonna do this just to show her but... You don't think Joey's gonna make us do no fag stuff, do ya?"

I almost immediately said no, but then thought about it a second and said, "I wouldn't put it past him since I know he's going to try and out do Suzi's show.  I just can't..."

"Okay people," Joey said over the DJ's microphone.  "We only have a half hour to get ready for this, so shut the fuck up and form two circles, one inside the other."

"Shit," Brad said, seeing he was going to have to make a choice.

I gave Brad a pat on the back before I found a spot in the inner circle, then made room for Brad when he walked up to join me.

"Shit.  I can't believe I'm gonna do this, man," Brad muttered.  "He's gonna do something faggy, I know it."

Joey started outlining the routine, and it was the part before the removal of our shirts that made most of the guy object and threaten to quit.

"Look you assholes.  You want to be out done by a bunch of chicks?  You know how much guts it took them to fucking masturbate in front of everyone like that?  Shit...  What did you expect us to do?  Go out there and just jerk ourselves off?  Spurt our wads across the room hoping to hit them between the tits?  We have to prove we got bigger balls than they do.  We got to do more than they did.  We have to make them so fucking horny that we have to fight them off with our dicks as they rip their clothes off and try to fuck us blind.  If you're too much of a wimp that you're worried people will thing you're homosexual because of a little erotic dance, they maybe you are!  In fact, if anyone of you back out now, that proves you're a fag!"

"Shit, I knew it..  I fucking knew it, man," Brad whined under his breath as most of the other guys muttered other obscenities.

"Any of you pussies want to leave, now's the time.  Otherwise the rest of us men have some serious shit to do."

Well, nobody left, and even though there were several similar interruptions, nobody even bothered to flinch when he got to the end and revealed the climax of the dance to them.

Heheh...  You should have seen them though when he tried to get them to drop their pants and practice the last half.  Well, it didn't happen.  Joey knew he was pushing his luck at that point and gave in to just having a run through without taking off any clothes.

Shit, and I thought the women had gotten nervous before their dance.  Oh, a few of the guys were cool about it, but as the place filled up around us, a lot of the guys were really getting stressed out about it and ended up having to sit down to keep from falling down.

We had to wait for Suzi to get back with the two ten gallon containers of drink, and it took another fifteen minutes to distribute it between the forty seven of us.

Joey did a good job, that's all I got to say.  Since all the women but Suzi had been on the dancing pom pom squad, there was no way we were going to come close to them in timing it to the beat.  So instead, we started out doing a chorus line kind of thing just to get things going and to give the drink a chance to take effect, then started bumping our butts into each other until the drink had everyone fully hard and horny as mad.

Shit, when we all formed one tight circle and all started humping the next guy's butt as we walked the circular path, you should have heard the chatter the girls were making.  And when we turned around and started going the other way, I realized Brad had already forgotten his displeasure over how gay it was as he ground his crotch into my ass.

Because there wasn't enough extra shirts to go around, Joey decided tearing our shirts off wasn't worth it, especially since it would only be repeating what the girls did.  So instead, everyone took the shirt off of the person they were humping, some having an easier time than others do to the size differences of the guys in both weight and height.

The drink was really starting to get to some of them by the time we had our shirts off, and with all the humping we had been doing just to do that, about half of the guys came in their shorts before Joey or I realized it.

For a few moments we thought it was over before it could really begin.  But apparently it only took the edge off of their frustration, and after a few moments of disorientation, they got right back into the routine with more reason than ever to keep going, especially with all that drink still in their system.

In fact the more and more of them came, the better our performance became.  And I have to admit I kind of got a thrill when Brad suddenly clenched me and humped harder a few times as he blew.  I just wish he hadn't been in the middle of pulling my shirt over my head.  I tripped and would have fallen if Joey hadn't been able to keep his balance in front of me and grabbed me with a free arm.

When we all were finally shirtless, we stopped and waited for the tubes of oil to get passed down, then broke up into the two circles again and started oiling each other up.  That caused a bit of a stir, and even though all of the guys participated, a few of them weren't really doing a very good job until I... motivated them by tricking their minds a little into thinking they were oiling up a girl instead of a guy for a bit.

There wasn't any more dancing really, and the music was more for background than anything else as we finished oiling up our chests and backs.  The next part was going to make or break the whole routine, for if the guys didn't wimp out then, they weren't going to wimp out at all.

When Joey didn't give them the chance by blanketing the whole group to make them go through with it without any further doubts getting in the way, I stopped oiling up Rick's leg and stared across to the outer circle at Joey.

He caught my glare, but just shrugged and thought to me, "I didn't want to risk it, okay?"

I looked over at Suzi who just gave me another shrug, then I stood up a bit undecided as Brad got down and started pulling my shorts off with his teeth.

After I did the same to Rick in front of me, I gave in to the drink's insistence to concentrate on the stuff ahead, and I guess I forgot about it as we all started humping our undershorts while trying to make our cocks stick out in them as hard as we could.

When Joey signaled to pick up the tubes of oil, we all scooped it up with our right hand while slipping our left index finger under the waist band of the guy next to us.  And then Brad surprised the hell out of me when his hand went into my crack as he oiled my ass cheeks under the cover of my briefs.

But I was pretty horny myself, and I couldn't resist doing the same thing to Rick.  He nearly shit I think, but lucky for me he didn't considering where my hand was at that instant.

Once our asses were nice and oiled, the two circles backed up against each other to start the climax of the show.  Feeling Joey's oiled back against mine as I slid my hands into the sides of his cotton jockeys, my eyes locked on Suzi's grinning face while my blood boiled and my heart raced.

I somehow managed to slide down his hot oiled skin, pulling his shorts down to his feet, then shakily stood back up and waited for him to do the same to me.  I took a deep breath as my cock flipped out of its pouch, and didn't release it until Joey was sliding back up and our buttocks made contact with each other.

I let it out with a whoosh as Joey involuntarily shuddered, then we took a few moments to regain our hold over the drink's power.  We couldn't see each other, and despite that making it easier on the others, to us it was making harder to stop from turning around and fucking the other's brains out.

All that time I kept my eyes on Suzi, and in a sense she was right there with us from seeing the strain on my face and knowing how close we were from blowing it all ourselves.

It was a huge relief when Brad grabbed my cock and instantly started pounding my meat, but it took me a few seconds to remember I had a job to do myself and reach over to take Rick's eight incher in hand.

As streams and streams of drink enhanced cum flew through the air to the audience's total amazement, all I could think about was how badly I wanted to be back in my old house, feeling Suzi working Joey's hand on my meat with four years of high school still waiting for us to experience.

After the climax ended and everyone sank down to the floor to relax, Joey and I just sat there back to back for a long time without saying a word as the others recovered and scurried off to shower or get dressed.  Suzi came over to us and waited a while before giving up and going out to get something to eat, and it was after she left that Joey's hand moved, and I instinctively met his hand half way to hold it like we were about to be yanked apart.

"It doesn't have to end this way, damnit," Joey said a few moments later with an unsteady voice.  "Why do you want it to end?"

"I don't.  I just...  I can't, Joey...  I'm sorry, but I just can't go with you and Suz."

"Do you want us to say?" he said emotionally.

"No," I said, my voice being equally emotional.  "You can't stay when everyone else is going to be out there.  It wouldn't be right."

"Then this is the end," he said with sob, then jerked his hand away, got up and hurried away, leaving his clothes behind.

"Shit," I groaned as I laid back.

"Where's Joey?" Suzi said a few minutes later from above me.

"I don't know...  He's...  You know.  Feeling it again."

"Oh," she said softly, handing me a doughnut.  "Well, I'll go find him and get him dressed.  You might want to do the same, you know?"

"Thanks," I managed to say before taking a bite of the doughnut.

After inhaling the rest of the pastry, I started to put my briefs back on when I realized I wanted to wash the oil off before putting the rest of my clothes on.

So I just carried my shorts and shirt with me after finishing slipping my briefs on, then strode out to the empty pool and jumped in.

"SHIT!" I screamed when I surfaced.  "HOLY SHIT IT'S COLD!"

I swam maybe ten minutes before I gave it up and got out, my teeth chattering as I ran down to the showers, passing a few of the other guys on their way out.

I was washing my pits when a hard cock brushed my ass, almost immediately followed by Joey's arms wrapping around me in an embrace.

"I'm sorry," he simply said as I relaxed from the shock.  "It's just... hard, you know?"

I knew he hadn't meant the state of his cock, but I couldn't help but act on it in that sense by spreading my legs and capturing it between them.

"Heh," Joey snickered as he took hold of my rising cock.  "This is how it all started, remember?"

"Shit, man," Brad exclaimed from the entrance.  "What, you two didn't get enough of that faggy stuff yet?"

Joey and I had jumped apart the moment he had startled us, and even though Brad was only sort of joking, Joey just turned the shower on to the left of me while Brad took the one on the right and all three of us showered in silence for a while.

"Well, I'm done," I announced, yet not shutting off the water.

"I've been done for a half an hour," Joey admitted.

Brad just kind of looked over at us, rolled his eyes and said, "Fuck, man...  Why don't you two fags just..."

"Oh, come on Brad," I said, putting some more soap on his ass and giving it a little grab.

"Yeah Brad.  We know you want some," Joey teased as he joined me.

"Come on, guys...  Stop joking around.  Shit.  Come on...  Stop.  Shit, man...  Shit."

"So what's it going to be, Brad?" Joey asked as he slipped his finger across Brad's crack.

"Fuck," Brad gasped after getting really hard from Joey's teasing finger and my hand soaping his ball sack.

"You heard him, Tim.  You want to go first?" Joey said trying to keep his grin from being heard in his voice.

I playfully ran my hand over Brad's crack, and said truthfully, "Well, he does have a really nice ass.  Maybe I'll just rim him and get him ready for ya."

Brad whimpered and then looked frantically over his shoulder as I got down on my knees and started to pull his cheeks apart.

"Uh, I don't know about this, man," Brad said really nervously.  "I mean, I don't think Gloria..."

I think he jumped four feet in the air when I squirted the water I had been collecting in my mouth from the shower directly on his rose.  Joey and I laughed our asses off as Brad turned red and calmed down, but then we stared in disbelief when he walked out muttering, "Shit, man...  And I was gonna let you too."

"Fuck me," Joey said in his shock.  "I mean...  Shit.  I think we really got to him."

Joey helped me up while I said, "Yeah.  I guess all this time Brad's just a regular horn dog after all."

I had just gotten on my feet directly in front of him, and that's when our eyes met and made us both deflate.

A few moments later we hugged, then I said from his shoulder, "I love you, man."

Joey snickered, gave me an extra squeeze and then said, "I love you too, man.  Let's get out of here though.  I'm pruning up."

And with that we left to find some towels.

A while later after I got dressed, I wandered back outside by the pool by myself and sat down away from the lights to look up at the stars.

It was an unusually clear night, and despite the fact the sun had been pretty hot all day, the air had become a bit chilly that night.  But I didn't mind.  It was rather refreshing to sit there, alone, in the semi darkness with my knees pulled to my chest to conserve my heat.

The stars can be such wondrous things to look at when the atmosphere is right, and when you've been up for eighteen hours and feeling a bit worn out from a very busy day, they can be the most amazing things of all.

My thoughts ranged from what Joey, Suzi and I had done that day, pondering over what my mom's and dad's graduation present could be that I couldn't see until dinner that night, then ended up wondering about Jennifer.  What could have made her leave me, and why she hadn't called me, wrote to me, or anything that would have given me a clue to why.

Even though the stars didn't offer any help in these things, they comforted me by just being there.  For I knew that wherever she was, they were looking down on her just like they were on me, making her seem that much nearer to me than she really was.

"There you are," Suzi said from the edge of the shadows I was sitting in.  "Why are you hiding like that?"

"I'm not hiding.  I'm just relaxing and looking at the stars, that's all," I said as she sat down on the edge of the lawn chair.

"Do you want be alone?" she said after a few moments of silence passed.

"Hmm?  Nah, I don't mind some company.  I just wanted to get away from all the noise for a while."

Suzi dragged another lounge lawn chair over and got in it, then shivered and said, "Brrrr.  Uhm Timmy...  Could I..."

I unfolded my legs and moved them apart as she climbed in between them and sat back against my chest, then I wrapped my arms around her and gave her cheek a quick kiss.

"The stars are really bright tonight," Suzi commented after we both got comfortable and relaxed.

"Yeah.  When I got here tonight, I saw a falling star, and it wasn't even all the way dark yet.  But I haven't seen any more."

"Did you make a wish?"

"Yeah."

"What was it?"

"You know I can't say, otherwise the wish won't come true."

"That's alright," Suzi said after a few moments.  "I have a pretty good idea of what it was anyway."

When I didn't comment on that, she stirred a little, then looked back at me with a slightly concerned look.

"What?" I said.

"You know what."

"No I don't," I said with a little smile.

"You've been out here thinking about her, haven't you?"

I sighed, then admitted, "Yeah, a little bit, but I'm okay.  Really."

Suzi turned herself all the way around and straddled me to look me in the eyes close up and say, "Are you really?  Because I know Joey and I aren't.  You're getting ready to push us away again."

"I am?" I said, not wanting to deny it, yet wasn't about to confirm it either.

"If nothing else, I can see it in your eyes.  Your eyes don't lie, Timmy.  They never have."

She kissed me gently on the lips when I didn't say anything more, then sighed and turned back around to watch the stars some more.

I watched her symbols swirling around in her head, catching glimpses of her thoughts despite the shielding Joey had taught her how to do.  After a while I gave her a loose but long hug before telling her I loved her and then got up to go inside.

"Timmy wait," Suzi called from the chair after I had taken a few steps.

I stopped and watched her hurry over to me with her arms folded across her stomach, then I wrapped my arm around her as we walk back in together.

"Looks like Gloria forgave Brad," Suzi said as we walked over to where another batch of doughnuts and snacks were being served.

"Huh?" I said after not seeing them anywhere.

"Over there," she said, pointing over at the table where everyone had signed in at.

I was about to say I didn't see them when I noticed their swirls of symbols were coming from under the tableclothed table, and I quickly established a link with Brad's senses to find him blindfolded and his arms and legs tied to the table legs as Gloria teased his body with the tip of her tongue.

"Heh.  Joey tell you what we did with him in the shower?"

"No, Brad did.  Joey didn't say a word.  Speaking of Joey, I wonder where...  Oh that man!"

Suzi stomped away from me before I could even register something was wrong, but it didn't take me more than a few seconds to locate Joey and see what was up.

"Oh come on, Suz," Joey whined loudly from inside the girls showers when I reached the door.  "I wasn't going to fuck them, honest!"

"What did I tell you!  NO GIRLS!  None! Zippo! Zilch!  No blow jobs, no rim jobs, no tits, no nothing unless I say you CAN!"

"But...  But..." Joey said flat on his stomach on the floor as Suzi walked all over his back.

"What are you doing, Suz?" I said, watching her continue to tread on his muscular back.

"She's walking all over me," Joey answered for her between grunts.  "Don't ask.  It's complicated."

"Uhm, I'll uh..  Be out here eating," I said after watching her make three complete paths on his back.

As I left, I heard Suzi saying, "Tomorrow you're going to be serving me hand and foot all day, mister.  You're going to wax my car, do the laundry, take me shopping, move my furniture around, clean my...."

I managed to snag a couple doughnuts before they were all gone, and was just chatting with a couple of girls as we waited in line for a drink when I noticed Gloria walking around without Brad.

To my surprise, Brad was still tied up under the table as she socialized a while and then went into the dance room to dance.  Suzi was still chewing Joey out as they emerged from the girls shower room, so I quickly headed in the other direction, making my way over to the table Brad was under.

"So Brad," I said, sitting down on top of it.  "You having fun under there?"

"Hhhrrphh, mnnn," came back the reply.

"That's good.  Sorry about the joke Joey and I pulled on ya.  We kept waiting for you to freak, but you never did."

"hhh hhkhh, mnnn.  I gnnn I hhm hnlg hnlgh, hu nw?"

"Helpless?  Wait.  You mean you would have actually let one of us fuck you in the ass just because it made you feel helpless?  Shit Brad.  You're... heh.  hopeless as much as helpless."

"Yhhh mnnn," Brad said with a huff that was supposed to be a laugh.  "Ungn gnnn"

"Hey, I'm gonna go.  But just to let you know ahead of time, you're gonna want to be... uhm... mobile around four thirty, okay?"

"nhh hhmn nn nn nw?" Brad asked.

"Ten till four.  I'll tell Gloria too so she can take care of ya before hand.   Oh..  Heh..  Looks like I don't need to.  Here she comes.  Later, bud."

"HHH MHM!" Brad said, then continued mumbling loudly as I walked away, complaining that I had ruined the anticipation factor.

I was grinning the whole way to the dance room to tell Gloria what I had said to him, and then told her he was really sweating thinking she was under the table with him and just not making any sounds or movements.

I circled the entire place to see what activities were going on, then headed out to the back fenced in field where my help was setting up for my gig.

"How we doing?" I asked Austin, one of my dad's part time guys who usually helped with the yard work and other physical demanding tasks.

"We're about fin.. fin..  FINished..." he yawned.  "Sorry, master."

"That's okay," I said with a grin after yawning myself.  "I know how you feel."

"We brought robes figuring you might need them.  It's pretty cool out here, ya know," he added as we walked over to one of the long tables already set up with a royal red velvet table cloth and crystal goblets.

"Awe man, yeah.  Thanks.  I was worried about that too.  Who's idea was it?"

"I think it was Liddy's, but I'm not positive of it, master.  Man, I didn't have anything as nice as this for my graduation party," he said, picking up the goblet and holding it up to the work light.  "The Year of the Best - Class of 89."

"What year did you graduate?" I asked him as he put it back down.

"Eighty Six, master."

"Shit.  You were a senior when I was a freshmen.  And how long have you been, uhm, working for my dad?"

"Only two years, master.  And I'm only a part time slave, you know."

"Heh...  Part time slave," I chuckled, then tried to stow my grin away when I realized he had been perfectly serious when he said it.

I helped setting up a bit, then stood there clueless as Austin went to help a few technicians wire up the nine rented big screen TVs and the two cameras to the mess of electronic stuff they brought.

By four twenty, everything was set up and ready, so I took one last walk past the three rows of tables forming a half circle around my "stage" before having them kill the work lights and start lighting the candles while I left to launch my surprise.

I walked calmly to the other side of the building, trying not to draw attention to myself despite the toothy grin I kept getting and having to wipe off.  I was just up to the entrance where we had all come in when I saw someone running up to me out of the corner of my eye.

"Going somewhere?" Joey said with a bright eyed grin.

"Nope."

"Ahhh..." he said before slipping in front of me and blocking the door.  "So what famous movie star or rock group is waiting behind this door?"

"None," I said, trying to stop my own grinning.

"Shit," he said when he suddenly opened it and looked out.  "There isn't anyone out here."

"There isn't?" I said surprised.  "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure.  Shit Tim.  Are you sure whoever it was knew they had to be here now?"

I poked my head out and scanned the parking lot, then said, "Yeah, I'm sure.  And they are here.  Hey, you want in on it, right?"

"Huh?" Joey said, scanning the parking lot with his mind this time and still coming up blank.  "Uhm, yeah.  That's all I wanted in the first place."

"Okay then.  Hold this door open, and don't let it close until I say, okay?"

"Uhm...  Okay," he said suspiciously.

"On second thought...  Stand behind it while you're holding it.  Just incase."

Joey hesitantly complied, then asked, "All right, now what are you going to do?"

"Me?  I'm just going to whistle," I said letting my grin go full spread.

"Whistle?!?" Joey said just before I put my lips together and started making a dozen or so short loud chirps.

"Is that it?" Joey said from behind the door.

"Shhh...  Listen.  You hear that?"

"Hear what?" he said, sticking his ear around the edge of the door.  "What, the wind?"

"Oh SHIT!  Heh.  That's not the wind!" I said rushing back in and opening the door next to the one Joey was holding and ducking behind it.

"What the FUCK?!?" Joey said after stealing a look around the door and seeing a large dark cloud swooping down from the trees at the other end of the lot and heading towards us.

"Holy shit!" Joey gasped as the whooshing sound started getting louder and louder to the point where people inside were starting to notice.

"What the hell is it, Tim?!?" Joey yelled as he ducked back behind the door completely as the sound got really loud.

"YOU'LL SEE!" I yelled, then sent a blanket command at the group of curious people heading toward us to get the hell back or drop to the ground.

I held my breath as the head of my army of owls shot in through the doors, immediately followed by their followers, having recruited probably every damn owl in the whole county just to start off my show with a bang.

More like a hoot I guess you could say.  Shit.  When I had seen them leaving the trees after my whistle, my heart almost stopped, for there were a lot more than I had anticipated.  But I was holding my breath for an entirely different reason.  I was scared a good number of them would crash into the walls or the center post between the doors with there being just so many of them.  They had looked like a swarm of bees when they had first started flying towards us.

I swear I heard a few hit too, and between that and the screams coming from inside the complex, I really started to feel sick.

But when the hooting began, the screams settled down, and after a few late comers fluttered in, I peeked around the door just as Joey did and we caught each other's expressions of astonishment before I rushed out thinking of all the crippled or dead birds I would find.

I was in a sort of happy shock when walked back in with only a huge feather to claim as a casualty.  I held it up to Joey's face and said, "Look.  Pretty cool, huh?"

He just looked at me with a totally blank face, then raised both eyebrows higher I had ever seen his do before and looked back inside the complex where the hooting had become deafening.

"Holy shit," I laughed when I looked, then took off towards the owl covered scene inside.

"Hey, you think there's enough of them?" I shouted to nobody in particular as I raced into the middle of the mob of owls.  "WHOO?  WHOO?" I cried like a little kid as people started crawling out of where they had taken cover at.

"Come on, come on...  They're only owls!" I yelled above the echoing hoots.  "Just don't rush up to them or crowd them, and you'll be fine."

"DON'T CROWD THEM?" someone yelled as it became obvious there wasn't even enough room to walk without causing a flurry of wings.

"Shit.  Alright, alright!" I yelled with disappointment.  "Everybody take cover again and I'll get rid of them."

As I walked towards the other end of the building to the doors leading out to the field I was set up in, owls and people when flapping and scurrying out of my and each other's ways.  At one point even I had to duck for cover when the owls back by the doors I was heading to decided I was getting too close for comfort and tried to all take off at once over my head.

"Man did I over do it, or what," I muttered to myself as I reached the door and opened it.  "Heh Austin!  Hold this other door open, and the rest of you...  uhm..  Well, duck!"

"Holy shit," Austin said when he saw what was going on inside.  "How all those..."

"Open the door and stay behind it," I barked, then at the others who were just standing around looking confused I yelled, "I said...   DUCK!"

I couldn't help but grin from the satisfaction of seeing them all dive for the ground, but it quickly melted away when I did my whistle and only a few of the birds came flying out.

"Oh shit.  They can't hear me for all their hooting," I realized out loud.

I scanned the scene inside with my eyes before turning around and yelling to one of the technicians on the ground, "Hey Tony!  Didn't I see a bull horn with all that stuff you brought?"

Three minutes later, Tony was holding the second door open as I nervously pointed the bullhorn inside and started my whistles with it set on full volume.  I nearly brained myself when it hit the center post of the doors as I turned to flee, for the owls had all pretty much had heard it and were coming straight at me.

I ended up diving to the ground when their flapping wings surrounded my ears, and I laid there with my arms over my head cussing, laughing, and at times screaming in fear all from the exhilaration of being beneath all those birds launching themselves back into the night's sky.

"You okay?" I heard Austin say once the sound of their wings started to fade.

"Are they gone?" I said without moving.

"I think so."

I carefully rolled over, then sat up just in time to see a really big one hop out the door and come straight at me with his wings spread wide.

"Are you sure they’re gone this time?" I asked him from inside my curled up protective ball position.

He didn't have to answer since people were apparently at the door asking where they all went, but I still kept my arm around the sides of my face until I visibly confirmed the all clear and got up to my feet.

"Well, not exactly how I imagined it, but...  It wasn't too bad," I said before slipping on the robe Maggie was holding out for me and going up to the door to welcome my guests.

It took a half hour to get everyone robed and seated, and I was having serious doubts about going through with the second half of the show, partially because I was running out of time before the sun would be up, but mostly because the first bit hadn't worked exactly as I had planned.

But when people started loudly asking what I was going to do and stuff, I guess it was the big ham inside me that made the final decision.  So as the nine servants filled everyone's goblet with the thin yellow nectar like substance, I got up on my stage and sat down Indian style before flipping on the wireless mic Tony had pinned on my shirt.

"Good morning," I greeted them.  "I uhm...  First want to apologize for... uhm...  well, scaring the shit out of you all."

"You'll be getting my laundry bill, buddy!" someone exclaimed.

"Heh, I'll just throw it in the stack with the rest of the bills for this.  My dad won't even know it."

"What's is this stuff, Timmy?" Suzi said from the center table as Louisa finished pouring hers and moved to fill Joey's goblet.

"Expensive, for one thing. It would take a hundred years of Corey's dirty laundry bills to equal one glass of that stuff."

"Really?" Corey asked.  "Can I get that to go?"

After the soft laughter died out, I said humorously, "What do you think this is?  McTimmy's?

"But seriously.  It's not alcoholic, and..." I paused to let the boos pass, "and if you want to taste it now, go ahead.  Just don't gulp it down.  I want to make a toast once everyone is ready.  And savor it while it lasts, for none of you bums can afford a second glass."

I flipped off the mic a moment to tell Tony to flip on the TVs so they would warm up, then checked to see if everyone had been served before waving over my own glass, filled with something other than what they all were having.

"So...  What should we toast about?" I asked after flipping on the mic and grinning at everyone.

I watched their faces as they laughed and started throwing out suggestions, trying not to look Joey or Suzi in the eye too much yet not avoiding them either.  They knew I had spent a lot of time preparing for this night, so they were on guard to catch whatever I was going to do before I did it.

"Okay okay..." I finally laughed and raised my goblet.  "To everything you all said, except that bit about Corey's laundry.  And..."

I took a deep breath and said carefully, "To our past: Our youth, our friendships, the good times we've had, even when we were being a bit... bad.  To the future:  The starting of a new life, exploring the world and each other.  To the hope that we all shall find that person who we were meant to love and marry, and most importantly to the children we shall have that will take our place when we die.  Good luck, my friends.  Salute."

As everyone chinked their goblets except me of course, I drank deeply, more to steady my nerves and collect my wits than to quench my thirst.  After I lowered my goblet and let out a deep "Ahhhhh," I smacked my lips and said under my breath, "You know, that's stuff is pretty good."

I waited a couple of minutes as people finished up their first glass and the servants went around giving them another half a glass, then turned off my mic again and started my short chirpy whistle again.

"Are you nuts?" Joey exclaimed before looking around for any sign of the dark cloud of birds.

"Relax...  They've all gone home.  Well, almost all of them anyway," I said into the mic before turning it off and whistling again.

I was doing it for the third time when finally there was a whisper of a fluttering of wings above me and I caught the shadow circling above me.

I slipped the long leather glove that covered my entire arm and held it out beside me as I whistled to my bird friend again.

Just like I knew she would, Tobias suddenly dropped out of the sky and landed on my arm like a well trained hawk.  But Tobias was no hawk.  She was the biggest of all the owls I had run across, and was probably the oldest and wisest too.

I flipped the mic back after lowering her to the ground, then said, "About three weeks ago, I was depressed about my life and was sort of wishing I could just end it all without really considering it seriously.  I was walking through some woods behind my house feeling alone and useless when Tobias here hooted and scared the heck out of me.

"She wasn't afraid of me.  In fact I walked right up to her and stroked her head just like I'm doing now before she spread her wings....  Spread your wing, girl....  Come on....  Yeah....  Smart old Tobias, " I cooed as I fed her a treat.

"Anyway, she just.... looked at me with her wings spread out...  Looked me in the eyes...  I've never really looked in the eyes of an owl before.  They're so big...  Like they can see right through you, even in the dark."

I glanced around seeing most everyone was staring at the big screen TVs staring in Tobias's eyes, and those who weren't were equally spaced out, except for Joey and Suzi who had been served the same drink as I had.

I winked at them after they realized the state everyone was in and looked questioningly at me, then I signaled for them to look at the screen as I formed an empathic connection to lead them into the dream I was about to give.

"As I looked deeper into her eyes, I let go of my worries and discomforts and just focused myself on her eyes.  They were calling me, welcoming me, letting me feel that everything was all right as long as I let her pull me along.  I could almost see what she was thinking, and her eyes just kept pulling me in deeper and deeper... her eyes getting bigger and bigger...  nothing but her eyes around me, absorbing me and becoming one with her mind.

"Feel her wings as they spread apart.  Feel the power they have, the power of flight, power of the wind.  Her eyes so bright, our minds interwoven so tight, we can feel the feathers on our skin as they shift in the wind, and we feel ourselves hunger to glide through night completely free.

"So on the count of three, we'll jump in the air with our wings spread out and start our journey for the night.  One, two, three..."

On cue, Tobias leapt into the air and took off while most of my deeply entranced audience stirred in their seats trying to flap their limp arms as they experience the scene of taking off through the mini camera lens attached to Tobias's head.

I formed a one way with the bird and gave myself a moment to adjust to the feel of her very different body, then began speaking again to my peers.

"Pushing ourselves up into the air with our powerful wings, feeling the air blowing across our feathered skin, pushing higher and higher, pumping our wings and holding our tail just so, until we're high enough to slow them down and...  Oh it's just incredible to stretch them out all the way now and glide through the air with such speed...

"It feels so natural... Flying... is so natural...  We feel so light...  Swooping down a bit... Rising high again... Seeing the trees and buildings below us as we fly through the cool night air...

"And everything looks so...  peaceful...  So calm and relaxed...  We can just float here a while and watch as everything we know on Earth just flies by.

"We've never felt so free, so alive, so good... The wind beneath our wings, the stars shining in the sky, the ground whooshing underneath us as we swoop down to see what's going on.

"Ahhh...  It's good to rest in a tree too.  Yeah...  Wow, I can hear the sounds of the night around me, and see into the darkest corners with my big eyes.  I wish I could stay like this forever.  It's so much better than my own life.

"Well, I guess there's nothing else for me to see here.  Okay, one... two...  three....  Hey, this is getting easier...  Whoops!  Heh..  Look out for that tree, George.

"Wow...  Look...  The sun is starting to come up.  And look!  We're over by our old school...  It looks so different from up here.  And big.  It's pretty big compared to a tree.

"Cars...  A couple of them anyway.  They look like...  Bugs.  But they go so fast.  Heh...  Kind of makes you want to go driving right now...  But we can't, because we're a bird.

"And we can fly.  We don't need a car to go places.  No work to worry about, no responsibilities, no laws to break.  Just our wings and our wind.

"The wind feels pretty good too.  I think it's pretty neat being a bird.  But..."

I sighed as we turned around and started heading back, then said, "What do we do besides fly, hunt and breed?  I mean, yeah, no worries about college or getting a job or anything, but then again we do have to worry about finding enough food and staying warm or cool...  Maybe being a human isn't so bad.  Maybe my life is worth something to have.  Maybe that's what Tobias was trying to show me that night, and that's what I'm trying show you now.  We don't have to accomplish great things, make a lot of money, or have the most friends.  We're the dominant species on the planet, and sure, things can get a bit down and out.  But when everything is said and done, we have the best life just being human, and to me being _human_ is what life is all about...

"Well, that concludes our flight on Tobias's chartered tour of The Night By Owl Light.  As we descend back to the ground and feel ourselves become awake and alert, please stay seated and quiet until I give the word."

Moments later, Tobias landed on my arm again, and I gave her a few more treats as I watched as my audience started blinking and looking around a bit dazed without comment.

I turned my back to them as I took off the camera from around Tobias's head, then stroked the old bird's puffed out chest a few times while watching the sunrise together.

"Thank you, my friend.  I hope we can go flying together again someday," I said softly before giving her the last treat I had, then holding my arm out doing my little chirp whistle one last time.

One of the first paintings I painted later that year was the scene of myself with my arm still held straight out moments after Tobias took off.  I exaggerated the scene a bit, making the stretch of colors from the sunrise larger, and adding the sparkles her wings left behind in her wake.  But I like to think I captured the moment quite well, and I named it after the emotions I felt as she flew away.

I call it "Free at Last"...
