As they finish eating their lunch the girls go up to Wanda's room to get ready for Tony's infamous parties. Wanda helps pick out an outfit for Emily since she only had a couple pairs of leggings and not much else to wear for the party.
Emily: Wanda: Natasha: (heading photo)
As the girls finish up their outfits, hair, and makeup. The guys are already getting settled downstairs as other companies and guests start to pour into the lounge and dining area.
Steve, Bucky and Sam are at the pool table playing a few rounds, Thor and a couple other guests are chanting and being rowdy having a good time, Tony and Rhodey are catching up and talking to each other, Bruce is sitting at the bar having a few shots with Clint.
"Where are the girls anyway?" Steve asks as Sam just shrugs. Bucky looks up to the stairs and suddenly the girls start to come in and the attention goes straight to them.
"Guess they're here," Tony says as he comes up behind Steve and pats his back with a smile.
"Woah..." Bucky watches with amazement as the girls touch the ground floor.
"Ladies, you look gorgeous.." Thor states, staring at them in awe and the girls smile and as champagne on trays come along, Nat takes them and cheers.
"You boys don't look too shabby yourselves!" Nat states with cheers and hands a glass to Emily.
"Nat, you're going to start drinking already?" Wanda asked with a smirk.
"Of course she is," Emily pipes in with a smirk, also with the glass in her hands she cheers it with Natasha.
"You know me so well.." Natasha responds and the girls all giggle.
"You're not the only one who knows us really well," Emily winks with a giggle.
"Well, it's not that I don't like you, but I'm going to go dance now!"
"May I join?" Thor asks
"Yeah sure, c'mon," Natasha says as they both make their way to the dance floor.
"Missed your chance Banner," Emily states as she takes another swig of her champagne.
"What?!" He asks, ripping his gaze from Natasha to Emily.
"I see how you look at her, don't try to lie to me."
"I look at her the way I look at everyone else, it's Nat, you can't not be attracted to her."
"Maybe, but it's different with you,"
"What do you mean?"
"Eh, I don't know, but what I can say is, if you want to try something, don't be afraid, life is too short for that..." She says with a smile and wink as she walks over to the bar and sits down. She looks around for either Natasha or Wanda and not seeing either of them, she tries to make her way to the appetizer bar where Bruce was but no sign of him either.
"How can such a beautiful woman find herself alone here?"
Emily is quick to turn around and smiles when she realizes it's Bucky standing there. "I can ask you the same question, Buck." She winks at him and he chuckles.
"Well, I couldn't find a date and all of these girls are the same, you know?"
"The same?"
"Yeah, the type who wants to have some "fun" or the type to look out for money."
"They look really nice but the way you describe them.." She starts and takes a drink, "but I'm sure they are not all like that."
"I just haven't found her yet. Or maybe I'm not sure yet." He winks as he makes his exit to go join Steve and Sam leaving her there to think.
The time gets closer to ten PM, all of the guests are still there having a good time and bumping to the music, but Emily is sitting on the lounge chair bored, considering going upstairs for the night. She sees Bucky, Steve and Sam by the pool table, the girls are chatting it up with Banner and Vision, and some of the others are dancing.
Wanda sees her sitting by herself staring into her glass so she smiles and walks to Emily, "Hey girl, what are you doing?" Emily snaps her head up and smiles.
"Oh nothing, just drinking!"
Wanda stares at her for a bit longer, she can feel that what Emily said isn't completely true, she grabs Emily's hand and smiles, "come on! Time to dance! Take your heels off, let's go!"
Emily does as she says and the two girls begin to dance in the middle of the room, everybody begins to turn their attention to them, but they don't care, Wanda can see that Emily is having a better time and they plan on thriving it up. The people begin to join, fun music begins to blast and a lot of people are dancing and enjoying it. As they continue to dance, Emily is laughing the whole time, as she turns her head she feels someone looking at her, and soon enough her eyes are connected with Bucky Barnes, he's smiling and chuckling, Emily reaches out her hand to him and they begin to dance together.
The clock hits three in the morning, the final guest finally has left and now everyone is just sitting on the couches just chatting about the party. Everyone is still pretty awake and hyper from the events and Natasha speaks up. "What do you guys want to do now?"
"Truth or dare?" Thor asks, looking around the room.
"Wait, really?"
"What isn't it a good game?"
"It is, just didn't expect you to ask to play," Emily asked, a bit shocked and everyone looked at each other agreeing to play. They all play a few rounds until the bottle lands on Emily and Steve looks up to her.
"Truth or dare Emily?"
"Truth,"
"Okay, tell us a bit more about yourself." Steve asks, leaning back into the couch.
"What do you mean?" She asks and Sam speaks up.
"I think he means your story,"
"I mean I know Snow Whites and Cinderella's story too--"
"You know what we're talking about," Steve says tilting his head
"Do I have to?"
"It's called truth or dare for a reason." Thor interjects and Emily sighs,
"Fine... I'll tell you."
