[HSC XI] Day 3 - Page 89

Parting felt on top of the world. After a gruelling day of play, he was walking out of Dreamhack Tours with another championship under his belt. It wasn't easy, he had to use all 3 builds in his arsenal, he even had to take a 4th base in one game! But that was behind him now, and he was looking to unwind. There was to be an after party at the hotel, and Parting new he wouldn't want to miss it. A few pictures with fans that he didn't want to take, a few autographs none of these French people would be able to read, and he was out the door. As he was about to hop into a cab to head back to the hotel, a unique and recognizable voice called out behind him.

"Parting! You aren't just gonna leave so soon are you?" Sasha said as she pushed pushed Parting into the cab as she followed. "I told you we were gonna party after Dreamhack, I know a cool club, let's go!" The said a name the the driver, and off they went.

Parting was taken aback a little. He hadn't expected this at all. As they started on their way, Scarlett leaned in and pit her head in his shoulder. If he was aback before, he was now thoroughly confused. Then he remembered the showmatch. He recalled joking with Scarlett a few weeks prior during some random dumb showmatch, but he never thought that his over the top silly flirting would actually maybe start working. He tried to remember all he said, about his shyness and the partying, but it wasn't coming back to him in full. He didn't really care anymore though, this was turning into an interesting night!

The club came into view, and Scarlett had the driver stop by the front door. Unbelievably, Scarlett herself payed for the cab! "A pretty girl taking me out and paying for everything after I just won? This is a dream come true!" The club was busy, but when you have a girl with you, you get in surprisingly quick. The place was banging, you couldn't hear yourself think. Scarlett motioned over to the bar and Parting followed. Again, even after he had insisted again and again, she was paying. A few shots each, and Scarlett took him by the hand and led him to the floor. Parting wasnt much of a drinker, he recalled the time he had run into his teammates room after a different tournament shouting "I WANT SEX!", and the few drinks had already made him quite tipsy and disoriented. But when you find yourself in this situation, you can't stop or slow down. So they danced, by themselves and with each other and with others. Parting had no idea how to dance and felt awkward, but the body language of Sasha implied that she didn't mind, or didn't even notice. A few times they went from the bar to the floor and back again, and everytime Sasha danced with him a little more. Never had a girl seemed so into him... This was unreal. Finally his years allining were getting him somewhere. He had money enough, but this is the kind of action he'd been missing. The night went on, but Parting had lost track of time. Scarlett had gone off to the washroom and he was drinking by himself. This was when he decided.He was pushing wasted and he didn't care anymore, he wanted this night to end perfect. His nerves had gone, and he finally was able to say to her when she returned "Want to go back to the hotel for a little fun, honey?"

"I thought you'd never ask", she replied with a wink. This was it. It was on like Donkey Kong. They swiftly left the club and hopped in a cab back to the hotel. Parting was getting restless, and didn't know exactly what to do. He tried to make a move, but she politely blocked his first advance with a "I have a surprise for you back at the hotel" and that was all Parting needed to hear.

When they arrived, the swiftly moved up to her hotel room. She pushed open the door and drug him in so quickly he almost fell over. "How about one more drink?" She said, and she already had a drink prepared for him. He wasn't sure where she'd gotten it from, but he was too far gone to care. He took the whole thing in one gulp and was ready to pounce. Scarlett said she had to go to the washroom first, and then he'd be in for his surprise. He laid on the bed and waiting. He was never so excited. He waited... and waited... and waited. He wondered what was taking so long. He started to think about how the night had led up to here, and he started to notice something. The way she was overly flirtatious, the way she had denied his advances despite seeming so interested, the hotel room not being locked, the drink that appeared out of nowhere. Something wasn't adding up.

And then it hit him. He felt dizzy, and not in a drunk way. He tried to stand but he fell as he rose. He laid there for a second, and as he looked up Scarlett was now standing over him. "It's finally kicking in..." Her voice trailed off as Parting began to lose consciousness. The set up had worked

Parting awoke in a panic. He tried to move, but his hands and feet were restrained. He was tried to the bed, and his pounding head darted across the room looking for answers. His vision was blurry, but he could make out Scarlett... and two more figures. After a moment, the trio realized the their captive had awoke. They approached and Parting saw who the other two were and knew he was in trouble. The two before him were none other than Jaedong and Life. Jaedong was a player he had always done well against, his 2 base all ins had been unstoppable against him. And Scarlett was always a whiner, she hated his style and herself had gotten crushed time and time again. But Life didn't make sense. "LIFE YOI WERE NOT EVEN AT THIS TOURNAMENT!" he screamed.

"I wouldn't miss this for the world. With you out of the picture, I'll be #1 on Aligulac. HAHA".

"Your reign of bullshit has gone on for long enough, Parting. We, and by extension the zergs of the world, have had enough" Scarlett spoke in a serious and ominous tone. From behind Jaedongs back came a knife, and Partings heart sank. He was done for. The knife was held above him. It was hopeless...

Suddenly a loud BANG and the door came flying inwards. Scarlett and Life were knocked off their feet. The 3 Zergs looked in awe. At the door was A FUCKING IMMORTAL, and it looked pissed. In a moment of quick thinking, Jaedong rushed the Protoss with the knife, but just before he could get in range a forcefield appeared out of nowhere. The Immortal walked in and blasted the place up, and behind it was a group of zealots and sentries. The zealots untied Parting and said to him "En Taro, Parting" and they all warped back to Aiur and had a great big Protoss party with many beautiful Protoss ladies. THE END
