"Shots of 1947 are incredibly expensive are you sure this isn't just the alcohol talking?" Liana lightly grabbed the waiter's arm before he could walk away, making sure Blair was in the right mind to make such a drastic decision.

"Shut up miss goody-two-shoes I want to know what it tastes like. Opal why don't you be a dear and steal me the bottle. Now I'm not saying you have to kill the waiter but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to take." Lucas was really getting on her nerves, constantly adding his little remarks onto anything anyone said.

"Of course I am, only the best for my girls."

"Well isn't she just the cutest," Lucas muttered sarcastically.

"Miss, are you ready for the event? We've finished setting it up." Another waiter had approached the group, addressing Blair directly, but not before kindly smiling at all of them.

"Yes, would it possible to have the shots we just ordered sent there?" Blair smiled politely at him. Opal had taken notice of how kind she was to everyone, even if they worked for her.

"Of course, right this way." He nodded curtly before leading them to a set of stairs.

"Blair, what is this?" Opal asked curiously.

"A surprise."

"A trap, little miss sunshine is leading you to your death. Don't be so naive Opal, this is a mission and she is your job, not your friend." Lucas spoke harshly into the ear piece.

"It's your party shouldn't we be getting you the surprises?" Opal replied, choosing to ignore Lucas' rude comment.

"Don't be silly, plus this will be fun for me too." Blair was beaming with excitement, Opal could tell she was truly happy, she only hoped it would last after she'd finished her mission.

"Well, thank you, really I mean it."

"Here we are." The man gestured to a door labelled "party room 3" before opening it. Inside the room was a small bar, just enough room for the five of them to sit. Behind the bar was a waiter dressed in a pink uniform , shaking and mixing drinks. Opal knew Blair must have asked for her to wear it. Behind the girl was a rack of all different types of alcohol and mixers, ready to make drinks upon their request.  What intrigued her the most was the tv in the corner of the room that was linked to a karaoke mic.

"So, are you dead yet?" Lucas piped once again, sounding not at all concerned.

"Okay so I've arranged for us to have our own private bar, karaoke and a special surprise."

"Oh, please get drunk and sing awful karaoke." Lucas begged.

"Because this isn't surprise enough?" Opal replied to Blair, ignoring Lucas.

"Come here girls."

"Okay so here we have the Amari, it's purple because that's your favourite colour, it's got glitter because you're a total gold digger, it's got strawberry fizz because you can be very sweet but also really sour when it comes to protecting us and lastly it's got vodka because you're so feisty."

"That was definitely the corny thing I've ever heard. I think I actually threw up in my mouth."

"This one is the LiLi, it's green like your eyes, Mindori liqueur for the melon flavour because of that time in Greece which I have no doubt we'll drunkenly confess to Opal later. And lastly, rum because of Halloween when you dressed as a pirate, got extremely wasted and started screaming about a missing parrot."

"Oh my god she is just so quirky and different." Opal was so going to kill him later.

"For Ashley, we have the Ash, which is of course orange because-

"Don't you dare continue."

"Because she horribly messed up her fake tan and was bright orange for weeks."

"Then it's got peach flavour because of that time you got botched plastic surgery and to be nice it's got lemonade because I know it's your favourite."

"Opal, I don't know any embarrassing stories about you yet so I've decided to be nice."

"Oh how generous."

"So it's red because that's your favourite colour and because you wear it all the time. It's got gin because of its pine taste and you said your dream is to live in the woods in a cottage."

"Awww Blair this is so sweet."

"Aww Blair I love you so much let's run away together and leave our fiancé's." Lucas spoke again, using the same tone as Opal to mock her. Opal desperately wanted to make a snippy comment about him saying fiancé but at risk of blowing her cover she knew she couldn't.

"Shall we get started with the karaoke?"

"Maybe Li will give us a repeat performance of Paris." Ashley jested. So far Opal was yet to see what the other girls liked about her.

"It wasn't that funny Ash," Lina scowled at the brunette.

"Oh please Ami was chocking on her vodka soda and she never laughs. I thought I was going to have to give her CPR."

"You wish you gave me CPR honey, I'm a great kisser." Amari's red stained lips curled up into a mischievous smirk, the gloss shining brightly in the bar's fluorescent lighting

"You're too frigid for that." Ashley muttered dryly.

"Not in bed I'm not."

"That I'd like to see."

"Of course you would." Amari fluttered her eyes charmingly at the brunette in mock flirtation.

"Oh you know I didn't mean it that way."

"Have you seen me? You know you meant it that way."

"Okay girls save it for the bedroom, let's get smashed and sing awful karaoke."

(In case smashed isn't familiar to Americans it essentially means very very drunk.)
