"Party, tomorrow night, after-hours to announce our new times." Fiona announced as she walked into the Patsy's diner. Lily looked up from cleaning a table pushing the dishes over another employee. "We'll invent bullshit drink names for the booze and keep it off the menu. Folks got to ask for it." She continued and Lily nodded liking the idea.

"Oh-ho! A speakeasy." Sierra said also liking the idea. "Mm-hmm." Fiona hummed getting pumped up with the idea itself. "Max, throw together a late-night menu, would you? Make it a little grungy." She asked going up to the chef.

"You got it, boss. Here, lunch special... artichoke, spinach, pepper jack on toasted sourdough." He said letting her and Lily try the new special. "This is delicious." Lily smiled in satisfaction.

"Bourgie grilled cheese." He said and the two sisters looked at each other before nodding. "Eight bucks?" He asked and Lily shook her head. "Ten. Throw in some gourmet pickles." Lily said and Fiona nodded agreeing with her.

"You got it." He said going back to the kitchen.

The next morning came along and Lily was already at the Gallagher Household. "Morning losers in debt." Lily joked, ever since the whole Fiona charging for rent, everyone has been complaining about not having money, especially Debbie. "Morning." Fiona said walking down the stairs.

"Hey, morning."

"What happened to your face?" Lily asked looking closely at Lip's face. "Uh, boating accident." He said and Lily gave him a look. "Right." She said not believing him, making him chuckle.

"First of the month. Pony up." Fiona said placing a box in the middle of the table as everyone started putting money in. Lily reached into her pocket putting in a ten dollar bill. "What about Ian?" Debbie asked.

"Paid in advance." Fiona answered.

"Lily, why are you putting money in?" Carl asked and Lily shrugged. "Forced of habit." She said since she was so used to be putting money in, so every time she sees the squirrel fund she puts money in.

"Ugh. Uh... This is all I could scrounge up." Debbie said putting a couple of dollars and cents onto the box. "Great. I'll expect the other $372.22 shortly." Fiona said and Debbie sighed. "I am a full-time mother with no help, Fiona." Debbie tried to reason but fiona shook her head.

"Donut Prince is hiring. Passed it on the way home. Snagged you an application." Fiona said handing the flyer over to Debbie. "What am I supposed to do with Harry?" Debbie cried not knowing what she will now do.

"Not my problem." Fiona stated for already more than once.

"I swear that Russian is up to no good." Veronica muttered as she walked in the kitchen. "What did she do now?" Fiona asked and Lily knew it was not Svetlana. Since Lily is still working at the Alibi, her and V became closer than usual. It was always her and Fiona, but lately they seem to connect more since they both are married with families.

"What? Not Svetlana. Her father." Veronica said looking at Fiona. "You got two weeks. Can't get together your share by then, I got to rent out your room." Fiona said ignoring everything Veronica said.

"Where am I supposed to go?" Debbie cried.

"Mm, homeless shelter down the street? I know the guy who runs it." Fiona said drinking her coffee. "That's kind of harsh." Veronica stated but once again Fiona just ignored her.

"I got to hit the sack. I'm dying. Okay, you guys need food, clothes, bail, whatever, call Lip. I'm on hiatus. Love you." Fiona said kissing Liam's head before going up to her room.
