The Prihuman Chronicles: Book 1, The Elite 8

Chapter 15: A Toast

ON THE PLANE....

Everyone was gathered in the hangout area, Kyley was going around tending to our wounds. "Good job everyone! I'm very proud of you all!" Kyley smiled..Everyone slightly smiled.. "The members that we captured are in the cell section on the plane, once we land they'll be taken to The Olympus" Kyley mentioned. Everyone was still silent, Kyley was the only one that had spoken since we got back.. "Um...what about Sam's family...? Has anyone told them...?" Wither asked.. It was the first word he'd spoken since he found out about Sam. Kyley stopped moving. "Not yet...once we get back to the school Ms Haymond will deal with it....umm...does anyone know how he...died..?" Kyley asked quietly, I looked around to see if anybody did see...Kim raised her hand. "I did...he got electrocuted by Silvershock..." Kim confessed. Everyone was silent for a few minutes until Kyley spoke. "Okay...I'll let Ms Haymond know." Kyley muttered.. "Okay...I'm going to go get ready to take off...uh..try and talk to one another...might make you guys feel better.." Kyley suggested as she packed up her things and left the room... Noah was the first one to break the silence, he stood up and spoke. "I know that Kyley's already said it..but.. you guys all did really well.. we were able to beat the D.N and Hallucination...we should all be proud of each other.." he said, looking around at all of us. He then sat down and turned to talk to Kim.. I felt a little tap on my shoulder and I turned around to see Samara. She sat down right beside me and smiled. "Hey....you did really well..considering that it was your first time facing a band of  super villains.." she said, we both lightly chuckled. "Yeah...I'm just glad that I survived.." I said, Samara nodded.. "Yeah...I'm glad you survived too..." Samara muttered. I looked at her and smirked. "What was that?" I asked, her face went a bit red and her hair glowed a faint pink colour. "Nothing!" she said quickly. I smiled at her and she smiled back.. We both looked at each other for a while, until we were interrupted when Amethyst walked into the room with Jeffrey. He looked a little bit better but he still was pretty beaten up. He had one cast on his arm, bandages covering the top of his head, and he was holding crutches.. "He's awake!" Amethyst announced, Jeffrey waved. "Hey guys...." he said sluggishly, everyone stood up and walked towards Jeffrey.. Kim and Sasha both gave him a hug. Noah gently patted him on the back and Samara also gave him a hug... I walked over and also gently patted him on the back, "Glad your awake" I said, he smiled at me.. Asher walked over to him and gave him a hug. Jeffrey smiled at him, he looked around the room and turned to Asher. "Where's Sam?" Jeffreys asked. Everyone went silent.. "Uhm...Jeffrey...Sam d..he didn't make it..." Asher said quietly, his voice slightly breaking.. Jeffrey's expression turned sad and he gave Asher another hug.. When they pulled away, Jeffrey reached up and brushed a tear away from Asher's face...the both of them smiling at each other... 

The room was still quiet until Kim broke the silence.. "I think I need a drink.." Kim said, everyone else agreed and made their way to the bar on the plane...

AT THE BAR

Once we all made our way to the bar, Kim made her way around the counter and started to be the bartender. "Alright, what does everyone want?" she asked. I whispered to Samara who sat next to me, "Are we even allowed to be drinking?" I asked, she nodded. "Yeah, Ms Haymond doesn't care if it's like 2-3 drinks, we're not allowed to get drunk though..and we can't drink in public" Samara whispered back. I nodded and smiled.. "Zack. Samara. What do you guys want to drink?" Kim asked. "Uh, I'll just take a beer...I guess" I said, Kim nodded then looked at Samara. "Uh, do we have any Mau Son left over?" She asked. Kim nodded and smiled. I looked at Samara, "What's Mau Son?" I asked. She smiled at me, "It's a type of rice wine, it comes from Vietnam" she explained, I nodded. "You've been to Vietnam?" I asked. She smiled, "I'm part Vietnamese" she explained. I smiled. "That's cool!" I said, and Samara smiled.. Kim handed us our drinks and moved onto Jeffrey, Asher and Amethyst.. "Alright, you guys, what do you want?" she asked. "Whiskey" Asher said. Kim nodded, "I'll also take a beer" Amethyst said.. "I don't know, coke or pepsi" Jeffrey said.. "You sure you don't want anything stronger?" Kim asked, Jeffrey shook his head. "No, I don't drink" Jeffrey stated. Kim nodded and poured him his drink.. Noah and Sasha had gotten their drinks earlier and Kim was pouring hers... "Umm, I think we should do a toast.." said Noah. Everyone nodded.

"What are we toasting for?" Samara asked, Noah shrugged, "To us, for defeating the D.N and Hallucination" he suggested. Everybody nodded and raised their glasses... 

"To us!" everyone toasted. We all took a sip from our drinks.. "We should toast to Sam..." Asher suggested and everybody agreed..

"To Sam.." we all toasted again... "Should we do one more toast...?" Kim asked, everyone shrugged. "What should we toast to?" Samara asked, Kim shrugged... "What if we toast to the Elite 8...?" Jeffrey suggested. "The what?" Noah asked. "Well, we don't have a team name...what if we do the Elite 8..? Unless you want to name the team yourself" Jeffrey said. "No! I like that name, what about everyone else?" Noah asked. Everyone else nodded and agreed.. 

We once again raised our glasses and toasted...

"To the Elite 8...!"  

THE END....

For now....
