I got home and stripped off the moment I walked in the door. I headed upstairs and grabbed a towel drying myself off and wrapping my hair up inside it. I sat down on my bed after pulling on a tank top and some shorts for now. I just sat there, glad to be dry again. When the towel became damp from my hair I swapped it out for a dry one and downed the potion then headed downstairs. I grabbed some food and sat down to eat.
It was around 5 when I started getting ready. I brushed out my hair and pulled on the dress. Schlatt wasn't getting anything special out of me. I soon walked outside getting ready to leave, why couldn't it have been raining tonight? Then I would have had an excuse not to go.
"You good?" I turned to see Quackity.
"I'm fine" I replied bluntly,
"Are you sure? You've been standing there for 10 minutes" he said.
"And you've been standing there watching me?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"That's not my point" he said looking away for a moment.
"Well it's mine" I said walking towards him, "did Schlatt send you?"
"No, I actually came because I wanted to say sorry for pulling that thing down and not saying anything. I didn't realise what it was or how much it really meant. Tubbo told me what that place really was" he said, "I know I should've maybe apologised earlier but apologising isn't exactly something I do a lot"
"Ok" I replied, "I'm not going to say it's fine because it's not"
"I know" Quackity said, "I do still have the materials if you wanted them" I nodded and he put down a chest and put everything inside.
"Thanks" I mumbled and he nodded.
"Did you want to head over together?" He asked.
"Sure" I replied and we started walking over.
"You uh, you look nice" he said,
"Thanks" I said with a small smile. He didn't look too different, he still wore a suit, probably by Schlatt's request....demand, demand is the right word.
"There you two are" Schlatt said with a big smile as we walked up to the building. "Starting to worry" he laughed glancing over to the other people that had gathered around.
"It's not even 6 yet" I said.
"Close enough" Schlatt replied, before turning to the crowd and clearing his throat before going on some speech that I didn't particularly pay attention to.
Soon everyone headed inside, I went and sat down at one of the booths. The music was loud and the chatter even louder, it was awful. A glass was then placed in front of me, I looked up to see the horned man himself,
"You look miserable, drink up" Schlatt said.
"I'll pass" I said pushing the drink away from me.
"That's rude. What? Do you think I'm going to poison you?" He asked with a laugh.
"It didn't pass my mind but I wouldn't put it passed you" I said,
"In front of a dozen or so people and in my own bar, you really take me for a dumbass don't you?" He said and I rolled my eyes dramatically taking a drink from the glass,
"Happy?" I asked.
"When you stop being a downer then maybe" he said.
"Good luck with that" I mumbled as he walked away. I slowly sipped at the drink over the next 20 minutes or so. Tubbo had joined me, obviously not drinking since his age. We just talked about random things.
"Ok you are really bumming out the vibes in here" Quackity said sitting down, pushing Tubbo further into the booth.
"Sorry I'm not overjoyed" I replied with a roll of my eyes.
"I get that" Quackity said, "but we are gonna have some fun" he grinned and a plank of wood with small glasses on top was placed on the table. "Thanks" Quackity gave them a smile,
"Why are they so small?" I asked,
"we're gonna do shots" Quackity said, "pick one" I looked at them and picked out one, "so with these you down them in one go, no drinking half then the other, just down it, ready?" He asked.
"Sure" I replied
"Ok 3..2...1"
I fell back against Quackity both of us laughing over the music.
"Hey Turbo, go get us some more shots" Quackity said waving him off,
"Don't you think you've had enough?" Tubbo asked.
"Turbo, Turbo Turbo" Quackity said shaking his head, "we can decide when we've had enough" Tubbo sighed but got up.
"See this is what I want to see" I looked up my giggles immediately shutting down.
"Enjoying your night Mr pres" Quackity asked.
"It's good" Schlatt said looking around as Tubbo came back with the drinks focusing on not spilling them. "Even Tubbo's getting into it" Schlatt chuckled.
"Tubbo is a child" I said, "He's not drinking"
"How old are you Tubbo?" Schlatt asked leaning on the table.
"16" Tubbo replied,
"Right, drinking age is now 16" Schlatt said and put a shot in front of him.
"Oh um no thank you" Tubbo said looking a little awkward.
"Come on kid, it's just A drink" Schlatt said with a laugh.
"He said no, you aren't pressuring a 16 year old into drinking" I said.
"Alright party pooper" Schlatt said and walked away.
"Thank you" Tubbo said and I gave him a smile.
"Anyway... shot time" Quackity said sitting up a bit more and I sat up from leaning on him to grab a shot for myself and downing it in sync with with him.
