With Dexx: 

It had only taken maybe ten minutes for Venno and Elvira to return, the Velociraptor and her daughter accompanied by the female Neon. 

Upon meeting Venno’s gaze from down the street, the second the group of three rounded the corner, Dexx immediately perked up and smiled, the Anglerfish waving. 

“Good to see you, Roxxane. Hope you’ve been doing well for the last few days” said Dexx, the Anglerfish smiling as Venno came to stand beside him, their daughter simply smiling. 

Roxxane chuckled nervously as she turned her gaze up to the dim lights of her dance club. 

Correction, her and DJ’s dance club. 

“Well, for starters, I’m kind of nervous confronting him, especially since your wife managed to convince me to come back and give him another chance” admitted Roxxane, the female Neon shuffling from one foot to another. 

Venno nodded, the Velociraptor glancing up at Dexx. 

“Yeah, she was pretty reluctant to come. I nearly had to grab her by the arm and literally drag her down the street if she even showed any signs of backing out. Luckily, she managed to make it all the way over here without hesitating so that’s a good start, right?” explained Venno, the Velociraptor looking hopeful as she returned her attention back to Roxxane. 

The female Neon just kept her gaze up at the dim sign before her attention was turned to the large double doors. 

“I wonder how mad he’ll be if I show my face” muttered Roxxane, the female Neon sounding more nervous in her voice than she herself appeared to be. 

All of the sudden, before anyone could even say or do anything, the doors burst open, revealing the Possum as he stumbled out of the dance club with a half empty bottle in his hand. 

“Scott? Where are you going?” asked Dexx, the Anglerfish now realizing that he had left the drunk Possum at the bar with a still heartbroken DJ who was supposed to meet them all on the main dance floor once he was ready. 

“I-I’m g-going…*hic*...home, m-my j-job here is…*hic*...d-done” slurred the Possum, a wild smirk on his proud face as he took one last swing from his bottle or beer. 

“What? What did you do, O’Possum?” demanded Venno, the Velociraptor handing Elvira over to Dexx, her husband and daughter both shocked by her sudden burst of anger that could rival even Jerry’s. 

Scott just tossed his empty bottle backwards, the glass shattering on impact as it hit the door before he turned and started stumbling down the street. 

“O’Possum!? Where the fuck do you think you’re going!? If you think you can walk away from me with that kind of attitude, then you are sorely mistaken!” shouted Venno, the Velociraptor following Scott, Dexx quickly following behind to ensure the Possum didn’t pass out in an unsafe place while trying to make it back home. 

With Roxxane: 

The female Neon watched as Venno attempted, and failed, to get any sort of answer or even a slurred word out of the stubbornly drunk Possum. 

She then returned her attention back to the dance club, a new sense of determination on her face as she clenched her fists. 

She needed to do this alone, anyway. 

She needed to face the consequences of what she did. 

Taking a deep breath before sighing, Roxxane made her way up the doors so quickly that she didn’t even allow her own brain to hesitate in thought.
