-chapter 10: Girls night in!-

"A-a what?" Maria squeaked at the TV. the TV show, Sex in the City didn't answer her but kept on talking about the strap on. Her pretty pale face growing increasingly red by the second. Katherine watched her, amused.
Katherine, Jackie and Melody had no mercy on the innocent medic when they dragged her from her precious medical bay for Girls Night In. Katherine called their little outing that because they couldn't go out and party, all they had was the rec room, contraband Smirnoff Vodka and contraband coconut rum. So, Katherine broke out the contraband she keeps in her room and makes her famous piña coladas. They initiated this Girls Night In in honor of The fact that Katherine still had a job and wasn't a lab rat.
Katherine's lip quirked up in a smirk as she took another delicate sip of her frozen tropical drink," You never tried?" She asked, coyly.
Melody howled in laughter at Maria's redding face. Jackie rolled her eyes, knowing her friend was just saying things to bother First Aid and the woman was starting to resemble a gaping fish."So, you swing around?" Jackie asked, playing along with a waggle of her eyebrows.
"No, I'm strictly into Dick." Katherine replied, smiling at Maria's failings, who was still unable to speak.
"I see you're Sam Winchester and raise you a Castiel."
Katherine shot her friend a semi sour look and asked," What you found a liquor store and you drank it?"
Jackie hummed in agreement as she took another gulp from the Piña Colada.
"Well," Katherine huffed and she said," I see your drunken Cas and raise you, Luci."
"You feel like the Devil? I already know that." Jackie said.
"Katherine hopped off the couch and shouted," GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM!"
Jackie winced and glared at her friend," Bitch."
"Jerk." Katherine retorted back, smoothly and made her way to the Rec room's kitchenette to make more of the alcohol potent, frozen drinks.
"Assbutts." Melody chirped at them both.
"What?" Maria squeaked.
"Damn, we still haven't corrupted Maria in the feels of Supernatural."
"We can fix that, ya know." Katherine called over the noise of the blender and a wall.
Jackie laughed at Maria's horrified face and reassured the medic," Don't worry it's nothing like Sex In The City but it gives you a ton of feels."
"Feels?" She questioned.
"Intense emotions." Katherine answered, she waled back to the couch with a jug of piña colada and she sat on the couch. Filling up everyone's cup with the white frozen liquid. "Don't get attached to any characters, they will die except Crowley but knowing you, you're gonna hate the King of Hell."
"Mmh." Melody agreed while downing the rest of her Piña Colada then wincing at the intense brain freeze.
"You're gonna get sick like that, Mels." Katherine said," I love me some Crowley but I like Gabriel, he's a hottie."
"Cas is-." Jackie started off but Katherine cut her off.
"A virgin."
"No, remember April and Meg." Melody pointed out.
"Ah, point taken. Never mind. Those two moved furniture with our awkward trench coated angel."
Maria squeaked," Sex In The City's back on!"
The three friends laughed at her expense and Katherine asked," When was the last time you've received bed side attention? A month? Two? Six?"
"Eight." came Maria's meek reply," You?"
"Last night." Katherine said after she got over the shock. Melody whistled, low and dragged out the word, 'damn'. Jackie raised a single, delicate eyebrow at Katherine.
"Who was it?" She asked.
"Birdbrain. Damn it, now you got me saying the blasted nickname." Katherine growled," Clint as in Agent Clinton Barton of SHIELD. Enough about me, we have an emergency here!"
"I don't believe in having relationships with my patients." Maria said, firmly. Katherine shrugged and muttered that she had a good point and went back to watching the TV and drinking." 'Rita was the same way." She murmured into her red solo cup and took another sip. The TV mentioned a reference and they all paused their conversation to take a shot of Vodka in their little shot-drinking game that Katherine invented when they started their little fun night.
Jackie yanked the fuzzy, purple pillow away from her, the pillow that Katherine leaned against. The dark haired beauty muttered colorful curses in multiple languages at the dirty blonde. Jackie just smirked at her.
"What if we found a guy that wasn't a Joe?" Melody asked, her eyes sparked with a familiar mischief as she planned and plotted.
"Mels." Katherine warned but it was too late. Once Melody Brooks sets her mind on something, she wouldn't be stopped. Very much like Tony, it was almost scary.
"If he's decent and kind, maybe."
Melody grinned wider at Maria's answer, Jackie rolled her glistening green eyes and Katherine cursed some more. This was not going to end well for anybody.
"You know who I am talkin' about." Melody said to Katherine.
"I am not asking him to be someone he's not." Katherine said, firmly.
Melody scoffed,"I wasn't talkin' about Antonio. I was talkin' about you know who."
Katherine was struck with realization and she too began to grin."I see, him."
"Who?" Jackie and Maria asked, simultaneously.
"Steve." Came their cryptic answer.
"And?" Jackie prompted, getting aggravated at her old friends.
"Y'all gonna find out." Melody said, her true Texan accent coming out, more and more as she got more intoxicated.
Katherine decided to change the subject before more questions arose." Let's pull a prank." She said with a smile.
"A prank?" A chorus of woman parroted, two being coy and the other high and squeaky. Katherine just knew that they would enjoy corrupting the medic.
Katherine's smile turned to a wicked grin. "A prank." She repeated herself.
"What kind?" Melody asked, leaning forward. Her first night in the Pit and they were going to prank, she was intrigued.
"The fun kind." Katherine answered, cryptically then paused for a very dramatic effect," Popcorn." She pronounced, proudly.
Jackie understood her friends' wording and smirked, once more. After all great minds think alike, Katherine thought. Melody and Maria stared at Katherine, puzzled. "We shall require airbags and many cameras." Katherine explained with a cocky grin and Melody joined in after she realized what popcorn was. Innocent Maria still stared in puzzlement and slight fear.
"I'll get the airbags." Melody offered and swished out the door before anyone can say other wise.
Jackie shrugged and said," The tech division shall be making a donation to our cause." She grabbed Maria and moved to leave.
"Watch your backs!" Katherine called," Don't want to get bust before the prank is even set up." Jackie just waved back, signaling her understanding. Katherine smiled, she missed having this mischievous fun with her old friends. She missed and regretted a lot of things from her old life. Alcohol makes her cynical.
She stood up and gathered the evidence of their little fun night and cleaned them in the kitchenette. She hummed a little tune and danced as she worked, unaware of the pair of eyes watching her. "🎶Yeah, you shook me all night long!🎶" Katherine sang AC/DC's You shook me all night long. "🎶 Yeah, you shook me! Yeah, you shook me all night long! 🎶" She tapped her bare foot with new bright gold and teal painted toes to the beat and continued to dance around to the imagery beat, shaking her head along.
She finished her work and took a shot from the vodka when she heard a phrase on the TV and another for the hell of it. Katherine turned and nearly jumped out of her skin when she spotted the familiar black clad ninja. Katherine's face heated up in embarrassment. "You don't suppose, we can forget this ever happened?"
Snakeeyes shook his head and Katherine's head hung. She looked up and Snakeeyes signed. 'You do have a great singing voice.'
Katherine blushed a darker shade of scarlet," Thanks, before I became who I am. I wanted to be an actress or singer. It was a stupid and foolish dream, childish even." Katherine said, briefly taken back to where all she wanted to was to dance at the ballet or preform Westside Story. That was before she had to meet reality. Dancing helped her forget her worries, temporary of course but she loved it.
'Not foolish,' Snakeeyes signed,' It's a good dream.'
"Was." Katherine corrected, "Not to be rude, I love when we talk but tonight is Girls Night In."
"Only girls?' He asked, she knew he was teasing her.
"Yes and right now we're up to something that no one but us can know of."
'Have fun.' Snakeeyes said, his head shook in aspiration and left.
"I never want to repeat that awkwardness ever again." Katherine muttered. She walked back into the rec room and sat on the couch, this time drink straight out of the vodka bottle. She wasn't drunk enough, she wanted to forget her and The others would have to fight over the coconut rum. Jackie, Melody and Maria appeared in the doorway with their loot, Maria grinned and said," Shall we began?"
Katherine smiled, Maria might not be a complete loss to their cause. "We shall." And so they spent the rest of the night, drinking and setting up their prank. The Joes wouldn't know what hit them......
Katherine woke up, bright eyed and bushy tailed unlike her companions. They were suffering from the horror of peach and root beer schnapps, that they stole from Bethany's office. Why have schnapps in her office, only the hag knows. Katherine refused to drink the disgusting, vile liquor, knowing what it did to her. Katherine dressed down in short black and silver workout shorts and an oversize Cowboy jersey of Emmet Smith. She was in the kitchenette, once more but not to mix cocktails but to cook a large breakfast. It was her way of saying sorry for the absolute hell the was about to befall the Joes. Bacon fried and eggs cooked as she sang, it was a habit that would be the end her reputation in the Pit but she could deal with it. This lovely Saturday morning, she was singing to Trace Adkins, 'Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.' It played over her speakers. She swayed her hips to the music. It was a song that you had to do that to, it was a country music law. At least to Katherine. She loved the sound of Trace Adkins' voice. 'Country Girl (Shake it for Me)' came next and then 'Cruise' by Florida-Georgia Line. As well as cooking what she considered a fabulous breakfast, she made a cure for the dreadful hangover for her dear, pitiful friends. The terrible smell of the drink was covered over with the rich smell of cinnamon toast. That was Estrella and Lyra's favorite breakfast growing up. Katherine continued to sing, Estrella and Lyra's voices joined in, laughing and dancing as they helped their older sister cooking breakfast.
The Joes walked in with bleary eyes filled with sleep and halted at the sight of the Ramses sisters, prancing, laughing and cooking. Breaker started to record it, immediately. Katherine shot him a glare and muttered at him, loud enough to be heard over the music. "¡Perra! ¡Para eso!" *b*tch! Stop that!*
Scarlet's and Heavy Duty's eyebrows shot up at Katherine's profanity." Good morning to you, too." Heavy Duty laughed.
"Good morning!" The Twins chimed from Katherine's side.
Katherine sent one last warning glare towards Breaker," If this gets out, I'll kill you and hide the body." Breaker paled and nodded," Well then! Help me set the table, roll the poor souls outta bed and then we can eat!" They started to work and Abernathy joined them in assisting to help set up breakfast. He claimed that he wanted to try Katherine's cooking first hand, after hearing Jackie bragged about her 'wicked skills'.
The Joes nodded and set off doing tasks, Katherine smacked Heavy Duty's hand as he tried to snag a crispy piece of bacon. She growled at him and leveled a glare, in response he raised his hands in surrender. The team set plates, pulled up chairs and put the food on a table. Everything was set and ready.
The three hungover woman finally dragged themselves in the rec room. Katherine narrowed her eyes in amusement when they squinted their eyes in the bright artificial light. Hair resembling a rat's nest and clothes thrown on, not matching together at all.
"Well, look what the cat dragged in." Estrella and Lyra said, simultaneously at the three. The sisters received scalding glares.
Katherine jerked her head to the kitchen and said," Hangover Cure, try and not throw up after you drink it." Wordlessly, they trudging into the said room. "You're lucky, I have mercy on your poor, poor souls."
"Hangover Cure?" Scarlett asked. All of the Joes looked, mildly interested.
"My own personal recipe, don't ask what's in it. You don't wanna know." Katherine answered, lips pressed together in disgust. "I never needed the damn drink but mis amigas did and often. Healing factor and all." She continued on. The women walked back into the room, looking more aware but slightly green in the face. Katherine turned to them and offered, " Café Au Lait on the table. It'll help with the taste." Jackie and Melody grumbled to Maria that it helps, they sat themselves around the table, their heads held high. Attempting to maintain their dignity, it was a poor attempt but an attempt nonetheless. The Joes followed in suit, the sound of squeaking chairs against tile floor filled the air, mingling with the soft sound of music that could be heard through the kitchen walls.
Then Abernathy made the mistake of taking a warm buttermilk biscuit and Jackie, Melody and the Ramses laughed. "First one touches the food says grace, General." Jackie said.
Abernathy furrowed his eyebrows," Excuse me, Tyler?"
"There are rules." Melody grumbled, happily.
"Really?" He asked Katherine.
"You're the one that told me to follow the rules." She said, shrugging her shoulders. So, he said grace and after they dug in.
Katherine took a cup of Café Au Lait, a cheese danish and a couple of pieces of stolen bacon from others plates. It was a good ten minutes before anyone spoke. She hummed in content when she sipped the scalding liquid.
"I'll be the first to say this, Katherine, you're amazing. Bloody brilliant." Heavy Duty said, blissfully and he continued to munch on a scone. Katherine laughed at him.
Breaker spoke up next," Where did you learn to cook?"
Katherine's smile turned a little sad and she replied," My Grandmama and Grandpapa owned a little Bakery in downtown Houston, they taught me everything I know." Estrella and Lyra smiled, sadly at their sister. They each sat on either of Katherine's sides, eating a very large breakfast for their petite size.
"Kudos to them, tell them that they have an amazing granddaughter." Heavy Duty muttered out of his full mouth.
"Can't." Katherine replied, stiffly. "No one touch the batter in the fridge or you'll not only loose a hand but also beignets for desert after dinner."
"Beignets?" Abernathy prompted.
Estrella and Lyra gaped at the general and then at the puzzled Joes." You don't know what a beignet is? You poor deprived people."
Katherine laughed into her Café Au Lait, the mug was of the bluest blue and was shaped as a rectangular prism, a Police Public Call Box. The Doctor's TARDIS, Time And Relative Dimensions In Spaces. A gag Christmas present from the twins, they didn't expect her to be using it almost daily. "A beignet is like a french donut but more airy - depends on the batter you make- and instead of a glaze, you sprinkle powder sugar on top. You serve it with Café Au Lait." Katherine explained, she raised her own glass of the drink. "With the excess of the powder sugar, you would blow the sugar on well, anyone."
"Why are you cooking, Katherine?" Scarlett skipped straight to the point.
Katherine, Jackie, Melody and Marie all grinned but gave nothing away. "You will find out soon enough, it's not as bad as inviting my cuz over but pretty bad." Katherine said and her sisters raised an eyebrow at her as if to say, 'really? Already?' Katherine responded with a smirk. For the rest of the breakfast, they told jokes and stories about the others and told embarrassing former blackmail on each other.

Breakfast went by all to fast and the Joes refused to have Katherine put everything up and clean up because she made breakfast, they would do dishes. Katherine gave in and snuck into Jackie's quarters, where the monitors were set up. A couple of minutes later, Jackie, Meoldy, Marie, Estrella and Lyra joined her. Estrella and Lyra came because they knew if there was a safe place on base it was there and they were curious to know what prank the four pulled, last night.
"Has anyone popcorned yet?" Jackie asked flopped onto the small bed next to Katherine, Melody followed in suit on the other side. Marie pulled up a chair next to the bead and the twins sprang on top of the three friends, who protested but allowed the small woman to remain.
Katherine huffed and muttered," Not suffocating or anything. I don't need to breath air into my lungs.... No, no one yet but I just messaged Bethany to finish the report, early. "
Melody snorted. Estrella laughed and said" Hello, Miss Piggie." Melody reached a hand behind her and swatted Katherine's younger sister.
"Shush!" Katherine hissed at her companions in crime. She tried and succeeded in gaining a couple inches to wiggle forward, closer to the monitors. She pressed the sound, Bethany walked into her office, grumbling and cursing at Katherine. The twins snickered in anticipation above her and Jackie and Melody barely contained their laughter. Bethany moved around to her bland, government issued desk and flopped down in her rolling chair. Then it happened.... the two airbags triggered and exploded. One hidden in the back of her chair and the other on the seat, itself. She flew forward, knocking her desk over and hitting the like a crash dummy. Papers flew everywhere like birds escaping capture. The room filled with howls of laughter, tears slipping from their eyes as they leaned against each other. Marie was rolling on the floor, Melody rolled off the bed onto a giggling Marie.
Katherine pulled her self out of shaking dog pile.
"That was good." Katherine said, breathlessly. Shoulders still shaking with aftershocks.
"Mmmh..." Lyra hummed," The TARDIS Prank was better but popcorn is high on the list."
"Naw," Estrella protested to her twin," Prank calling Andy was the best."
"It was good," Lyra amended," But not the best."
Melody piped up, still on the floor," TARDIS." She agreed.
"That was genius on my part." Katherine noted, fondly.
"You playing a newly regenerated Doctor was bloody brilliant." Jackie said with a light laugh.
"Bloody brilliant." They all echoed.
"So.... How long do they figure it out that it was us?" Katherine asked," My money's on 6."
"6 hours?" Melody scoffed at her friend," Two questions; What money? and How do ya figure?"
"100 and I did the math last night while you were rolling on the floor, going 'I see the TV!' Roll away, 'No I don't!'."
"I did not!" Melody replied, indigently.
"Yes, you did." Katherine and Jackie told their friend.
"Even I wasn't that drunk." Jackie added to her best friend from besides Katherine. Katherine hummed her agreement with Jackie and started to fiddle with the controls for the video cameras.
For the rest of the day, the three friends and their newest addition to their Familia stayed in Jackie's quarters. They told stories, jokes and watch their prank unfold before them on the bright screens. They were never caught as the perpetrators of the prank, the Popcorn Prank went down in Joe History as one of the greatest pranks of the Pit. Future Joes and Recruits, alike have said whoever pulled the prank was a legend. Their guess was that it was Heavy Duty and Breaker. They would never know that it was the most wanted criminal in North and South America, her fellow criminals and a innocent medic.
