Kya followed after Alex, to get a soda, and to see if he was alright.

"Hey, soda!" she reached for one. Orange was one of her favorite flavors.

"See that girl over there?" Alex said quietly, indicating Lana. "Can you go talk to her? Don't let her leave, don't let her out of your sight. Don't drink the soda."

Kya smiled and nodded, and headed over to talk to Lana. She didn't know why Alex told her to do so- but she trusted him, so she followed his orders.

"Hi! How are you? Neat party, isn't it?"

Lana nodded cheerfully. "Hi... I'm okay. This is a nice party, yes."

Nick noticed the short, jumpy kid trying to get his attention, and wandered over, taking a gulp of beer. "You want something?"

"You might want to take care of the soda," Alex said quietly. "Before it, y'know.... explodes."

Nick smirked. "What, someone been shaking it? I hear tapping on the top takes care of that."

"Not the cans, the case."

Alex pointed carefully. "It's wrong inside- there's twelve cans, not twenty four... and there's something... the bottom, see? I think it's something I shouldn't touch but you probably should before things get very bad."
