(God, I obviously don't know how to write a party scene >|^ )

Shiko, Rooba, Flum Ox, and Slushy were waiting at the plant island's portal. The large frame of the portal allowed them a place to sit while they waited for a few other friends to join them before they went off to Shiko's first party.
"Flum Ox, are they close?" Rooba asked, sitting on the stone wall with his legs swinging back and forth.

"They said they'd be here any minute. Just give them a second, the portal could be backed up."

"This is soooo booorinng..." He groaned, leaning his head back to look up at the sky.

"Shiko, are you ready for this?" Slushy–the epic mammott–turned to face Shiko with a smirk.

"Though a bit nervous, I must agree this will be a great stepping point for my social status. I am quite enthusiastic." Shiko replied, all four of his wings gently flicking around behind him, silently speaking about his nervousness.

"This is your first event, Shiko. And being invited by the son of the plant island's leader should be an honor!" Flum Ox acknowledged with a smile.

"Oh it's quiet! But is it not odd that Entbrat already has his own house even though he is a senior?"

"It might be a bit weird, but at least he doesn't have to get in trouble with his father for this. He already seems like a responsible adult, so maybe he does understand what consequences he could face for this kind of activities." Rooba reasoned, looking back down at Shiko.

Just a few moments later, the portal glew bright green, and the few monsters they were waiting for came right through; Ziggurab, Rare Gob, Wyqn, and Rare Oaktopus.
"Sorry for the delay, guys! I had to pick up a case along the way. I don't take drinks from strangers."

"Well at least you're here. Let's get moving!" Rooba smiled, jumping down from the stone wall, and next to Ziggurab.
The others followed suit, and began to make their way from the stairs of the portal frame, and began to follow the side walk down the main highway of the island, where some cars drove by, but not many because of the dark night around them. Luckily Rare Gob could be used like a flashlight, so they used him to light the way.
The black, star-speckled night was cool on their fur. And bark. And scales, skin, metal, and all that junk. The breeze seemed to sing a low bass tune as they walked, reminiscent of the island's band which sang the island's anthem.
They passed over the bridge near the house, and after making sure no cars were coming at them, they J-Walked across the highway and onto the other side of the highway, where Entbrat's house was sure to be.

"Are you sure you're ready for this, Shiko?" Rare Oaktopus asked, his spingling arms keeping a grasp on his shoulders with his claws as he was held.

"...Admittedly, no. Though I understand there is no pressure to conform to reckless teenagers, but I am instead worrisome of who I might meet there."

"You'll be the only Wubbox there if that's what your worried about."

"No, though I am the prophet child, and very well known because of my actions, I have very few repuation at the education system. They either hate me, or don't care about me. And none of you guys have been at the school, so you would not understand what I might fear of."

"If they hate you or don't care about you, why did Entbrat even invite you?" Slushy asked, turning back to him slightly."

"Well, he seemed to be the only monster that cared about or liked me. Even his friends tease him for it, but he still supports me."
