CHAPTER 9 - SPEED CAN'T GET DRUNK

THE BAR

Speed: How often do you think about, why your friends came into your life? Was it random, by design, or maybe a little of both?

Speed is currently at the bar with his friends: Trace, Pearl, Spike and Lazuli and they were playing drunk darts

He looks at Trace and Pearl

Speed: Regardless of the reason, some friends you just know are gonna be by your side for a while.

Then he looks at Spike

Speed: Others, you're not so sure.

He then looks at Lazuli

Speed: And then there's that one friend who, well, you hope, someday becomes something more. But "friend" will have to do for now.

Lazuli then looks at him and smiles, he smiles back: And that's okay. I guess.

She then walked up to Speed

Lazuli: "I'm glad you invited Pearl and Trace."

Speed nods his head: "They're cool, right?"

Lazuli: "They saved your life, Speed, that makes them the coolest mons I've ever met."

Speed nods his head

Lazuli: "It's nice that you guys became friends."

She then raises a shot glass full of vodka

Lazuli: "To friends, old and new."

Speed also raises his shot glass full of vodka and they cheer their glasses together and shoot it

Lazuli makes a sour face and shakes her head: "Ooh."

Her expression goes back to normal

Lazuli: "I'm up."

She then lightly punches him in the shoulder

Lazuli: "Wish me luck."

She then walks up to Spike and takes the dart from him

Lazuli: "I'm going to destroy you."

Spike: "Don't get cocky, west."

Speed then goes to get a small plate with 5 shots, grabs them and walks over to Trace and Pearl and puts them down

Speed: "Guys? I have a problem."

Trace: "We all do when guys like him exist."

He points at Spike

Pearl looks at Spike: "Yeah, he's so hot."

Speed and Trace roll their eyes at this

She then snaps out of her trance: "Uh, I mean, genetically speaking. Because I'm a geneticist, of course. Oh, my god, do I sound like Flora"

Speed shakes his head: "I'm not talking about Spike. I'm talking about this."

He then downs 5 shots of whiskey

Speed: "I can't feel anything."

Trace: "Yeah, that's usually what happens when you drink too much."

Speed: "No, the alcohol is not affecting me. I mean I literally feel nothing."

Pearls eyes go wide: "It's your hyper metabolism. I need a sample."

She then starts to dig through her purse

Trace: "I'll get more shots."

He then walked off to grab more shots
