OOC: No worries, i like long posts.
"Hello All." Lydia announced walking briskly in, "Let me be blunt, when I say that my, Indigo and Emma's daughters are lost in the Shadow City. Now normally, I wouldn't mind her in there, since I trust her. But I don't trust her with anyone's else's daughters. Well at least the one's that aren't her age..."
"So why did you ask us to come?" Danielle snapped, as Lydia flinched a bit, "It's your fault that you let a girl around 10 frickin years old to wander around the Shadow City, not ours."
"My daughter is 19, thank you very much, and I think she's capable of knowing her way around New York." Lydia snapped in the exact tone.
"19??" asked Oona dumbfounded.
"Yes, adopted of course." Lydia said, a bit more calmer.
Tara added in quietly, "They took our old uniforms, so they're pretty safe..."
"Not Jackie."
"I kno-"
Just then they were interrupted with a small knock on the door. Lydia answered.
"Nice to see you again Kiki." Lydia smiled.
"You too." said the small girl, who was still close to 5 foot, and looked almost exactly as she did as a teenager.
"I couldn't find her..." Tara said, in shock.
"I could easily, last time she was here, she gave me her phone number." Lydia stated, as a simple fact.
"Now, let's go rescue 3 girls!" Kiki cheered, as they all squished into two taxi's, and drove off.

The ride to the SC entrance in the marble cemetary was akward, to say the least. Tara stared ahed and tried to ignore the strange looks. They finally made it there. When Tara got to the bottom of the ladder and stepped into the hallway, she took a deep breath, suddenly overwhelmed by nostalgia. It was almost like when she was fifteen and they were on another exciting adventure. She pulled out the map she'd taken from her fridge and traced the main tunnel with er finger. "Ok,"Said kiki. "Break into groups of two and three spread out and look for them. Don't forget to get some rat perfume." They did. Tara broke off and walked with emma, who seemed to avoid her gaze.

Lydia immeaditly went to Alice's side, as they broke apart. They walked in silence for a bit, when Alice spoke quietly. "Girl What happened?"
"What do you mean?"
"You used to be best friends with Danielle, now you guys are enemies, what happened."
Lydia was quiet for a second.
"Life happened Alice."
"Huh?"
"We fought, and fought after I graduated, and I wasn't always there for her when I needed too. I hated it. You and Kiki were the only ones there for me." she said.
"I see." They walked on.
"I'm pregnant you know." Alice blurted out.
"Congratulations! How far?" Lydia asked, relieved to be off the certain subject.
"Not that long, three months."
"Hows the orchestra?"
"Good, good, hows broadway, and Jackie?"
"Great, Jackie, and me are both in Wicked. I'm Elphaba, and she's a back up dancer."
"That's cool."
They walked in silence again.

Emma and Tara walked through the city. Emma kept shooting Tara dirty looks as they walked in silence. Finally Tara stopped. "Is there something you'd like to share with the class?" she asked sarcastically.
"Why did you leave?"
"I had to protect her."
"Right. Or maybe you just didn't have the balls. Maybe you got cold feet and left at the first opportunity you could."
Tara's face became contorted with rage. "Leaving the Irregulars was one of the hardest things I ever did. You guys were the only friends, the only support I had. You were one of the few good things in my life. But eventually you have to grow up."
"Fine. You left. Whatever. But why should we help you find your kid now? I thought you were done with us. Why should we help you after fifteen years?"
"D@m*ed if I know." they both sighed and continued looking. Suddenly, they heard a noise from a room. They ran towards the sound. Tara tried the door but it wouldn't open. "Catie?" she called. "It's me. Are you in there?"
"Ya," Catie answered from inside. "Is it safe?"
"Yeah. Open the door."

It was weird seeing all the irregulars together again. Everyone had grown (except for kiki of course) and very few of them had stayed as good of friends as they used to be. Indigo had shut herself off from her friends after what had happened to her and then suddenly she was a single Mom with a newborn and needed a job and a house and before she knew it five years had passed and when she called Kiki she was told that the irregulars had disbanded.
And now her child had apparently gotten herself mixed up in the shadow city, not that she exactly minded, Lydia had been the one who insisted they keep it secret, but still.
"Dont!" hissed Izzy grabbing her friends had away from the knob
"why?, its our moms."
"and do you really want to have them come and ground us and drag us home after like, like not even a half hour of exploring?" she turned to Jakkie "you know your way around here right?" she said a slow grin building on her face
"yeah pretty well"
"than where do you think that goes?" she asked pointing to a dusty set of stairs that led a dozen feet up to an ornate door set into the wall. Not waiting for an answer she sprinted up the steps.

"Why did you leave the Irregulars?" Alice asked.
"To follow my dream, to be on broadway." Lydia replied.
They walked on in silence.
"Was it worth it?" Alice said quietly.
"No."

OOC: Well, I blame my computer. It didn't show Holly's post until a few hours later, after I wrote mine. No Worries, I modified it, so it makes sense.
"Wait, Izzy! I don't know where that goes!! Watch out!" Jackie yelled, as she ran up the staircase, and grabbed Izzy's collar back.

Izzy twisted around and continued up the stairs. "Izzy," catie called. "Don't be a bloody moron. You don't know what's up there." she sighed and followed her friend.

Jackie curse, and ran up, before Izzy could, and shielded the door with her body.
"Considering, on how I'm the only adult figure here, or at least over ten, I think we should go over some rules first. Number one, we're a group, and we don't leave the others behind. Number two, we have to be careful opening up doors. Number three, we ALL have to agree on a decision."
"Fine."
"Now let's see what's in here.." she mused, while sticking her eye in the peephole.

"Weird... I wonder what it's here for...." said Catie.
"According to Glimpses of Gotham, it says that it was part of a glamorous hotel, close to 32nd street, where many famous actors, actresses, and the famous stayed at." said Jackie, thumbing through her mom's old book. "Believe it or not, it's less then a block from my apartment."

"hmmm..." Catie said. "It looks like it's been lived in. Let's go in." They did. The sheets were rumpled, the antique table was covered in brand name makeup and jewlry. "I think we've found our bad guy hide out," Catie said, looking around.

"Um, considering how we have no weapons, I suggest we leave, like now, before the thug finds us."
Lydia's phone buzzed.
"Ello?"
"Lydia, it's me Tara, I tried to open the door, but I don't know where they went."
"Ok, ok, calm down."
"I will not calm down!" Tara yelled at the phone.
