I quickly skipped the streets of The Underground, mindful of the cracks and dips in the wide street while dragging a grinning Jinx behind me. The sun was beginning to set which left the city begin to darken slightly as people scrambled around us, eager to get home before the sun sets.

In the alleys leading out of the street, I could spot more than a dozen people leaning against the walls, with no where to go as of a result to the purple liquid, Shimmer.

Quickly, we reached the doors of the Last Drop and I kick open the door dramatically. Then I was suddenly pulled to the side. Before I could shout at the person, I saw that it was Jinx, and she had a finger against her lips.

She pointed at the bartender who glanced around nervously at the doors which had 'mysteriously' shot  open. Then he turned back to drying his glasses, glancing up every once in a while.

We began to chuckle quietly as Jinx mimed for me to follow her as she snook up to the bar. I hadn't noticed, but the quiet noise of relaxing music was playing from the corner of the room, a big difference to what was normally played on a night like this.

We slid down onto our seats quietly and waited for a moment for the bartender to notice us. When he didn't Jinx spoke up to get his attention.

"Chuck!" Jinx exclaimed loudly, scaring the poor man so much that he gasped, dropped the glass he was drying and jumped back. The glass made an obnoxious shattering sound as it made contact with the ground. I let out a loud laugh as the man took some deep breaths and looked around the room, anywhere but our eyes, afraid to make eye contact.

Jinx rolled the blue orb around the table while I boredly picked at my now chipped nails.

"Thieram.." he let out.

"What?" I asked him.

"Um.. My name's Thieram," he spoke nervously.

"Nice try, Chuck," My angel scoffed at him and continued to play with the orb, making a relaxing sound as it rolled around the wood.

"2 of the usuals please," I asked as he began to grab 2 glasses and started to prepare our drinks.

"What's with all the hubbub?" Jinx stated, gesturing to the almost emoty room, the peaceful silence being interrupted and startling the bartender again.

"Uh- Boss wants to grab someone up," he nervously stuttered and continued to pour our drinks.

"Someone? Anyone?" I asked," Why weren't we invited?"

"I- I don't know sorry," he told me.

"Who ya grabbing?" Angel inquired.

"Some girls."

"I- I mean, I'm not ... I'm not grabbing girls. Oh, other than the... those ones... I guess," Thierum blabbered on and placed the cups in frount of us.

"Focus~" I teased.

"Who are they?" Jinx questioned rolling the glowing ball around the rim of her cup then letting it fall into her drink.

"U-uh, I don't know.. They... they got into a fight with Sevika. They did a number on her, " Thierum answers.

"Is she OK?" I asked, slamming my hands down on the surface of the bar, trying to hide my nervousness inside myself. While I asked this, Jinx was playing around, picking the ball up with the suction of the straw and letting it fall back into the drink. She suddenly started to bring her attention back to the bartender. 

"Oh really? What number?" She joked.

"It's like a saying babe," I stated as I grabbed my drink and sipped it. She grinned at me, knowing I would be embarrassed if she called me out on the name I had called her. I turned my head to the side and blushed.

Suddenly she jumped up and threw her self forward to pull Thierum into a hug.

"Your doing great Chuck. Here for your troubles," she patted him on his back and jumped off the bar and began to walk off.

"Come on Baby, we have to go~" She called and I huffed and downed the rest of my drink. Before I could even get off, she hopped back over to the bar and sipped her drink till there was nothing left in it.

As we stepped out of the door, I heard a shout and a bang. I looked over my shoulder to see Therium had a look of shock and horror on his face, which turned to relief as he realised it was just one of Jinx's paint bombs.
