"Ugh why does all brides have to be so demanding about what goes where and how what looks?" Penny said exaggerating.

"Because when you become a bride you will understand that everything has to be perfect." Fin responded by tying knots together.

After the diner situation Fin went back to work and continued to do his task for the day. By the time the day was over Penny and Fin were semi oaky with each other and they were talking as if nothing ever happened.

"Let me go get another beer, because the day I get married it will be by Elvis as the priest and a blow up doll as my groom. Want another beer?"

Usually Fin is not allowed to drink when he isn't near Sebastian, but Fin has learned to relax when he is around people he trusts not to tell Sebastian anything.

"Yes please. I don't think I can continue to knot while sober." Both laughed loudly and enjoyed a nice cold beer. Fin leaned back on the couch while Penny laid starfish out on the floor.

"How many left?" Penny asked.

"Thirty more."

"So that means we've only done ten....wow we are such alcoholics." and again they both started to laugh in a giggle fit.

"Nope, just detailed workers." Penny retorted back.

They soon stop drinking to finish the rest of the arrangements when Sebastian calls Fin's phone. Fin just looked at the phone as it continued to ring and ring.

"Not going to answer it?" Penny asked.

"....." Fin gave a silent response back.

"Answer it before something bad happens...." Penny said in a soft voice, making Fin sign out breath and answering the call.

"Hello?"

"Fin why did it take you so long to answer me?"

"I was eating and my phone was in Penny's bedroom. What did you need?"

"I wanted to see if you were done and needed me to come pick you up?"

"I told you in the car that I was staying over, nothing has changed."

Fin knew getting smart with Sebastian would only piss him off more, but Fin didn't care especially with the amount of alcohol in his system.

"Well maybe I thought you would hurry up and finish early and decide to come back home." Fin could basically see Sebastian gritting his teeth talking.

"Nope and you calling is only going to hold Penny and I back longer to get these arrangements done, so are we done on the phone now?"

Yep, Fin will definitely get beat upon coming home. How do I know? Well Sebastian hung the phone up and he never does that before he says 'love you, bye' to Fin.

"Why in the hell would you talk like that to him?" Penny asked, more concerned than mad.

"Michael asked me out at the diner I went to this morning." What Fin said instead of answering.

"What?....What did you say?"

"I threw my milkshake at him and walked out, but I was honestly considering saying yes." Fin admitted to his friend.

"I mean what else do I have to lose? Sebastian can find out and either kill me or Michael or move us again to another state. Honestly there are too many states until there are no more states."

Fin sounded helpless in this moment and Penny had no way of helping him, not even giving a nice big warm hug could fix this problem. Fin was being abused and nothing would happen.
