"YOU'RE A TERRIBLE DANCER!" Anahera laughed as she watched Dane swivel his hips in a not-so-sexy way. In the corner of her eye, she sees Sprite, Venus and Angé hunched over in laughter, the latter holding her phone in their direction.

Angélique was most-likely recording and Anahera made a mental note to ask for the video later. "I'm an amazing dancer! I don't know what you're talking about." Dane shrugged and the short-haired woman let out another loud laugh.

"This music is slightly less terrible than your dancing. V!" Anahera stated before she looked over his shoulder, calling out to the dimpled woman who turned to her with a raised eyebrow.

"Please, save us from this atrocious music and play something fairly slow so that I can teach this man how to dance!" The short-haired woman pleaded and Venus let out a laugh.

"Give me a minute while I take a few shots and then I'll save your asses!" The dimpled woman called back as Dane turned back to Anahera.

"Teach me how to dance? I thought I did an amazing job." The birthday boy pouted and Anahera let an amused grin spread on her lips. He was not doing an amazing job, and he knew it.

"Oh yeah. I was afraid if you continued, I would have to fight off some other ladies." She stated sarcastically and Dane rolled his eyes as he looked around, only to see people giving him judgemental looks.

"You tease." He sighed and Anahera laughed lightly as she gently grabbed his arm, pulling him towards her. "You make it too easy." She pointed out with a small smile.

Meanwhile, Venus, Sprite and Angé sat at the bar, twelve shots laying in front of them. The dimpled woman slid the two that Sprite had requested over to the girl.

"So, what song are you doing?" Sprite questioned before she downed a shot, looking to make sure Sersi hadn't caught her. One thing she loved when Angélique, Venus, Medea, and Anahera were around was that she was never treated like a child.

They saw her for her mental age and not her physical age and it was refreshing for her. Sersi could be suffocating sometimes, and she often forgot that Sprite was a lot older and a lot more mature than she looked.

It wasn't Sersi's fault, she worked with kids all day, five times a week, and more often than not, she'd slip up sometimes. Sprite didn't blame her, she loved Sersi. But she needed the four other Eternals sometimes.

"I don't fucking know, I'm being put on the spot. You wanna down these with me?" Venus replied before turning to Angé with a raised eyebrow.

"Fuck yes." The short woman snorted, grabbing two shots as the dimpled woman slid over the other three.

"Whoever finishes their shots last has to makeout with Hera." Venus proposed and Angé snorted. "Deal." The shorter woman agreed before turning to Sprite.

"You'll keep us honest." Angé stated and Sprite laughed but nodded. "Okay, three, two, one, go!" The illusionist called, watching the two women slam the shots of vodka back as if they were water.

Angélique managed to slam her last shot glass down a millisecond before Venus, causing the dimpled woman to groan.

"Great. I just screwed myself." Venus huffed as Angé shot her a cocky smirk. "Go on then. Get your ass on stage and then makeout with Hera." The short woman ordered as the dimpled woman stood up, earning herself a smack on the ass from her friend.

"Ugh, I hate when they make me do this. If pubs just played good fucking music, I wouldn't have to set the mood for those lovey-dovey assholes." Venus pointed out, gesturing to Sersi and Medea, as well as Anahera and Dane.
