Waking Up in Vegas

Chapter 1

"D23 tour! D23 tour! D23 tour!" Everyone jumps and shouts after they finish their RoR set. "Alright guys! That's what I'm talking about! First night success!" "Whoo!" "Alright, alright! Calm down! I know it's the first night of the tour. I know we're in Vegas. But we have another performance tomorrow night and then we hit the road for the next stop of the tour. So, have fun but not too much." Mel warns them. Everyone laughs. "Alright, now get the hell back to your hotel rooms!"

Everyone changes out of costume and heads back to the hotel. Kylie, Malia, Morgan, Dara and Ruby all wait for Mel to finish up some last minute notes for the next performance. "Hey Mel?" "Yes?" "I know you, Morgan and Dara are the only one's that can legally drink. But it's Vegas, can't you let it slip just this once?" Kylie begs. Mel looks at all of them. They all smile sweetly. "Alright fine! You're only young once i suppose." "Whoo!" "But! Pace yourself! Do not get drunk! Do not blackout! And i want you all back in your hotel rooms by midnight! Do you understand?" "Yes Mel." "Do you understand?!" "Yes Mel!"

Apparently, no one understood. Mel watches from the corner as everyone dances and laughs, clearly tipsy. Well, she was too but barely. "Come on Mel! Live a little! You're always so on it! I know you of all people need to let up!" Ruby nudges her arm. Mel probably won't admit it, but she has a soft spot for the young blonde. And Kylie but if anyone asks her, she'll deny it. Even if it was obvious that she did. "Alright fine, one drink." "That's all i ask." Ruby smiles. One drink turned into many drinks. "Hey guys, it's getting kinda late. So i think Morgan and i are gonna head back." Dara tells them. "Alright, you two are rooming together right?" Mel asks. "Yeah." "Yup." "Ok goodnight." "Night guys!" "Night!" "Night-night!"

Kylie was starting to feel the alcohol hit. "Guys! This is so exciting! Our first tour! Well, except you Mel." "Yeah, you gotta tell us, what was it like singing with Miley Cyrus?!" Malia asks. Her cheeks were a bit flushed. "Oh god, I'm sure Kylie and Ruby are sick of hearing all the stories by now." Mel stands and starts cleaning up. "Hey! You know what we should do? Let's go out tonight!" Ruby suggests. "Uh, i don't know about that guys. You're already pretty tipsy as it is. I don't need any of y'all falling onto the pavement." "You're only saying that cause you're not tipsy. Here, drink up." Kylie hands her a cup. "Ky, no. I'm your manager, i should be looking out for you." "And you are! By joining in on the fun!" "I already drank two, that's my limit. Trust me, skinny and alcohol don't mix well." She glances at Ruby who's dancing on the bed. "See?" "We're not leaving this room till you drink this." Kylie smirks. Mel sighs. They really did need to get some cold air in their faces and water into their system. "Fine." She takes the cup and chugs it before the burning alcohol can touch her tongue.

"Alright! Let's go!" They all head out on the town, as they walk Mel finally feels the alcohol hit. Skinny and alcohol really do not mix well. "Hey! Is this one of those 24 hour chapels?" Malia asks. "Yeah, i think it is." Mel tries to hold Ruby up. "Can we go inside?" "Oh no! Oh hell no! I already know where this is headed!" Mel shakes her head. Big mistake. "Ow." "Can we at least go inside so you and Ruby can sit down?" Kylie suggests. Mel sighs as she glances at the younger girl in her arms. "I really hope they have water in there. Let's go." They all head inside and are greeted by a priest. "Hello! Welcome to LV 24 hour chapel. How can i help you? Baptism? Wedding? Funeral?" "Uh, we just needed a place to rest, thank you though." Mel smiles politely at him. "Oh god, can you imagine if the fans see photos of us walking out of a chapel in Vegas?" Kylie asks Malia. "Oh gosh, i can already see it." Malia slaps her forehead.

"Excuse me?" Mel taps on his shoulder. "Do you have any water? Like normal water? No holy water?" She laughs. "Oh yes, of course. Is it for your girlfriend?" He asks. "Uh, she's not my girlfriend. We're just really good friends. I've known her for like ten years." Mel tells him. He nods. "So, if you didn't come to get hitched, what brings you to Vegas?" "Uh, we're on tour right now actually. Um, i should bring this water to her." "Oh of course, of course. Did you wanna see how a quickie wedding works?" Mel laughs. "You know, i do wonder sometimes. I know it's not like a normal wedding. That's for sure." He nods. "Well, why don't you bring that water to your friend and come find me afterwards?" Mel nods. "Will do, thanks." She walks back over to Ruby who's leaning on the bench. "Here, drink up." She looks around. "Thanks Mel." "Of course Ruby. You know i care about you. I worry. Hey, where'd Ky and Lia go?"
