Guess what . I was not allowed to go to mom's Bachelorette party . Cause I fell sick . Great . Drinking ice-cold water and then being in non-ac conditions is not ideal . I learned that the hard way . So now , a week later , I was in the car with dad , Johnny and Ben , going to the club . I planned everything out with Johnny and this was going to be a blast . 

" You still cannot drink , I hope you know that " ; dad said to me . 

" Are you kidding me ? " 

" Sorry Stace , I don't make the rules " ; he ruffled my hair . 

" Its 3 more years " ; Ben said . 

" Really doesn't make it better " ; I grumbled . 

" Oh let her have one . It won't hurt " ; Johnny came to my defense . 

" Don't tell mom " ; dad sighed after some time . 

" I love you " ; I squealed as I hugged him . 

" You only say that when I do something for you , eh ? " ; he chuckled . 

 " You know me " 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

" I thought I said no strippers " ; dad complained as soon as we got into the club . 

" They are not . They are exotic dancers " ; Johnny clarified . 

" Booth is missing out " ; Ben said as we sat down and ordered drinks . 

" I am sure he has his tongue down Miss sawyer " ; I said nonchalantly . 

We had invited Booth but he politely declined the offer saying - ' I have something else planned ' . The translation - ' I have a second date with Miss Sawyer and I plan to spend the night ' . 

" And how do you know that ? " ; Ben asked . 

" Personal experience " ; I replied without thinking and then froze . 

" No no , I mean I know from watching Fifty shades " ; I froze again . Nobody knew that ! 
" Kiddo , stop before you did yourself a hole you cannot get out of " ; Ben laughed . 

" Its the Kamikaze talking ! " ; I defended myself . 

" Keep drinking . Spill every secret . Go on " ; dad said crossing his arms . 

" I am going to run over to the bar " ; I said standing up . 

" Don't drink too much " ; dad said handing me his card . 

" Thanks " ; I kissed him on the cheek and walked over to the bar and ordered a beer . 

After some time I really was drunk as I danced to Maria . 

" am I drunk or is he really dancing ? " ; I asked Johnny as I pointed at dad  . 

" He is " ; Johnny replied laughing . 

" Yeahhhhhh ! Go Reed ! " ; Ben cheered equally drunk . 

" Oh hell no " ; Johnny said suddenly  

I was too happy and high to register what his words meant . 

" Stop dancing . Susan is glaring directly at us " ; Johnny hissed at me and forced me to sit still and handed me a glass of water . 

" But this is not Vodka ! " ; I protested . 

" Hello . We are going to the kitchen . Now , all of you " ; mom said as she walked up to us . 

We followed her and General Hager and some other lady lieutenant . The kitchen cleared out as soon as Hager entered . 

I stumbled a little , hitting the steel rack behind me . 

" Is she drunk ? " ; Hager asked pointing at me . 

" No no , not at all . She has been dancing for hours , she is just tired and anemic " ; Johnny said quickly . 

" Yeah , she sometimes stumbles when she is tired " ; dad added as he held me up straight . 

" Okay " ; Hager said slowly . He believed it but I knew mom didn't . 

" Anyways . We have new information about the entity . It was seen passing over Washington D.C . All flights have stopped and we have no idea where it is going to pass through next " ; he said . 

Cue all the scientific talk , I did not pay attention . Instead I was busy admiring the bread that I picked up from the rack and sniffing it  .

" Is she high ? " ; Hager asked . 

" I am Stacey and I am European Royalty " ; I laughed . 

" Just delirious " ; Ben said . 

" Can you make a weapon to take this entity down ? " ; Hager asked me . 

" Needs to pass over NYC for that . Can't make one unless I know what it is . Materials vary " ; I mumbled . 

" She is right . Without knowing what it actually is , making a weapon to take it down will be difficult " ; mom agreed . 

" Fine , we wait " ; Hager agreed . 

I didn't even know he had walked out of the kitchen when mom asked .

" Which one is it ? High or Drunk ? " 

" Neither " ; Ben tried to lie . 

" Stacey , how many ? " ; she asked me . 

" 7 shots , 2 beers anddddddddddddddddddddddddd 3 whiskey on the rocks . I have no idea how Aaron does it . That is horrible " ; I counted . 

" You all were supposed to look after her ! The Beer is okay but she is full drunk ! She can't even stand straight ! " ; mom said angrily . 

I raised my hand . 

" Yes ? " ; mom sighed . 

" I think I am going to pass out " ; I said before everything went black .
