The MTV Afterparty: An Unexpected Lift-Fest! It was the afterparty of the MTV music awards. All the big names were there, dressed to the hilt and looking good. There was a celebratory vibe in the air. Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Mandy Moore, Pink, and Beyonce Knowles were standing around in one corner of the huge club, toasting eachother's wins for the evening with a round of Cosmopolitans. All of a sudden, Britney picked J-Lo up in her arms. "Here's to Jennifer's cleaning up tonight, and to her GREAT new album, which I can't stop dancing to!" The girls cheered and clapped, raising their glasses in a toast. Jennifer looked a little surprised to find herself being lifted up in Britney's arms, and especially at the ease with which she did it! Britney held Jennifer up for about 30 seconds as the girls clapped and cheered. Finally, she put Jennifer down, although it seemed she could have held her up there forever. Mandy spoke up. "Oh yeah, we were doing that one day at the MTV Beachhouse! Britney is STRONG! She lifted me and Christina Aguilera over her head. It was AWESOME!" Jennifer was impressed, and being the competitive girl that she was, wanted to try this for herself. Suddenly and without warning, she got her arms under Britney and lifted up in the air. Britney started laughing, and curled her legs up to her body, making it seem that Jennifer was carrying her in a tight bundle. Jennifer lifted Britney even higher, so that her body was practically covering her face. "Let's hear it for this girl, too!" J-Lo shouted to the girls. "She's not without her funk too, you know!" Again more cheers from the girls. "Now let's get her another drink!" Jennifer changed Britney's position from a cradle to an over the shoulder, and carried her to the bar to order her a drink. "My friend here is so drunk, she needs to be carried to the bar!" Jennifer joked to the bartender. She walked back to where the girls were standing, put Britney down, and gave her the drink. "Whoa, thanks for the lift", Britney laughed, "and the drink too!" Mandy spoke up again. "Hey, I didn't get a chance last time to see if I could pick you up, Brit. Mind if I try?" "Be my guest!", Britney said. "I've had a pretty long night, I definitely don't mind being off my feet for a little while!" Mandy walked up to Britney, and with an unexpected strength, lifted her easily into her arms. "Whoa, you're a lot stronger than you look!" a surprised Britney exclaimed. "I had no idea!" Mandy replied, somewhat surprised at her own strength as well. She walked around a bit carrying Britney in her arms, who draped loosely in the smaller girls arms. Her legs (she was dressed in a short black mini) looked beautiful, brushing against eachother as Mandy carried her. At last, she set Britney down, sitting, on a bar stool. "I am IMPESSED!", Britney said, patting Mandy on the back. The other girls cheered her surprising display of strength as well, and she gave them a little flex in her sleeveless dress. "Alright, girls, let me show you how it's done!" the ever competitive Pink chimed in. She reached to one side and picked an unexpecting Beyonce Knowles up on one shoulder. Then she quickly lowered her self and scooped Jennifer Lopez up on the other. The two girls were surprised, and instantly started laughing. Pink strutted around the bar, proud of her two "captures". The two lovely ladies, both in short dresses (and both with GREAT legs) hung helplessly over Pink's shoulder, and the sight, (especially from behind), was quite something to behold. She carried the two women over to Britney and Mandy who spanked them, laughing. Finally Pink put them down. "Always the showoff." Jennifer joked. "Well, two can play at that game!" With that she hauled Pink up on one shoulder, and went up to Britney and hauled her up to the other. "Turnabout IS fairplay, girls." She said. She walked around in a circle with the two singers over her shoulder, and then carried them to the bar again. "Two more drinks for my two friends here!" she said. She walked back to their little circle and put the two girls down and gave them their drinks. "I don't even know if we need these" Britney said. "Yeah, the air is pretty thin up there!" Pink added, joking. "Alright", Mandy said, "Now I'M gonna pick up the tough girl!" She walked right up to Pink and in another amazing display of strength, picked her up in her arms! It looked quite comical as little Mandy carried the much bigger Pink in circles around their little area of the bar. After a pretty damn long time, (almost a minute), she put Pink down. "Damn girl, you're a lot stronger than you look." Pink said, surprised at the length of the ride Mandy gave her. "Alright, it's payback time!" Beyonce said, looking at J-Lo. She threw the surprised Latina beauty over her shoulder and carried her to the bar. "Alright, now SHE needs a drink!" she said to the bartender. She carted Jennifer back to where they were standing and gave her a playful spin. Jennifer squealed in delight, and Beyonce put her down and handed her her drink. "I DEFINITELY know I don't need this after that airplane spin you just gave me!" Jennifer joked, but took the drink anyway and downed it. The girls cheered. Just then VJ Carson Daly walked up. "Looks like you girls are having some fun over here." he said. "You're damn right we are!" Pink said, and with that threw the helpless guy over her shoulder. "Last one out is a rotten egg!" she said, and started running towards the exit with Carson over her shoulder. The other girls scrambled, Beyonce jumping on Britney's back and Mandy throwing Jennifer over her shoulder, and they all started running toward the exit, laughing. I wish someone would invite ME to an MTV afterparty, dammit!
