MY LADY SHANK

Aurora awoke the next morning with an awful headache. Her head was pounding and spinning, an awful remembrance of last night's antics. Turning her head, she noticed how she was on the floor in a different room — not having a single clue where she was.

The floor was comfortable, with several blankets and pillows being laid down. Aurora was snug inside a sleeping bag, her head peeking out of the top.

The door swung open and Gally entered, a glass of water and a pack of pain killers in his hand. "Morning," he said quietly, crouching down and placing the water and pain killers at Aurora's side. "How's your head?"

She groaned and held her head for dramatic effect but turned back to Gally who was chuckling. Rolling her eyes, Aurora popped two pain killers out of the pack and swallowed them down with a mouthful of the cold water to Gally's approval, who nodded his head enthusiastically.

"Rough," Aurora muttered, pushing herself up from the floor with her hands, the pressure building in her joints like a forbidden flame. "How did I get here may I ask?"

Gally sat down on his bed, adjusting the pillow and placing it back down. "Well after yours and Minho's lil smooch, you were both completely smacked off your faces and I was pretty much the only sober one. So, I brought you and Minho back here and I slept in Fry's room."

Aurora looked confused, "Where the shuck is Minho now then? And why am I on the floor and not him? Not very gentlemanly like, is it?"

The Keeper of the Builders burst out laughing, clutching his stomach and wheezing. Aurora looked at him with a straight face.

"I don't know if you'll be able to remember, but you and Minho had a drunken argument over it and it was the funniest thing I have ever witnessed in my god damn life." Gally chuckled, wiping his eyes as he had tears of laughter leaking out of them.

"Oh ha ha," Aurora replied sarcastically, "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself you slinthead."

He smiled, before getting up and walking back towards the door. "Feel free to come down to breakfast." Gally said, opening the door and exiting his room — heading downstairs for Frypan's cook up.

Aurora drank the remaining water before getting up and leaving Gally's room in the Homestead. She turned left and headed for her and Alex's room to change where she heard extremely loud snores.

She entered the room and walked over to the draw of clothes, pulling out one of Alex's old, red, cotton shirts. Aurora took the one she was wearing off and threw it to the floor, then pulling the clean shirt over her head. Glancing to her right, Aurora saw Alex lay in bed fast asleep — snoring his head off extremely loudly.

With laughter threatening to spill, she quietly left their room and headed downstairs out of the Homestead towards Frypan's kitchen. On a table sat Alby, Newt, Lysander, Minho, Gally and Winston which Aurora approached.
