With the Girls: 

It was not late at night, and the girls had already visited three bars during their night of bar hopping. 

They had all gone home to change after their day at the spa, all meeting up in front of the casino before heading out. 

“Ready for another shot?” asked Roxxane, the female Neon smiling as she grabbed two shot glasses from the table they were sitting around, handing one to Fiona while the others grabbed their own. 

“I don’t know, I’m not even that into drinking” said Fiona, trying to speak up as loudly as she could over the loud music and even louder conversations going on around them. 

“And yet you’ve drank more alcohol tonight than you have ever drank in your entire life. Just relax, unwind and enjoy yourself for one last night as a hot single woman” said Slendithera, the Porcelain Monster grinning as she raised her own shot glass, followed by the other girls. 

“To one last night of being single. Thanks for leaving me and Roxxane in the dust, by the way” said Hanna, the Shadow smiling as she teased the Pomeranian. 

“Oh, so you want to make it into a race, huh? Let’s see who’ll get married next, then” said Roxxane, realizing that she and Hanna would technically be the last two unmarried women in the group. 

“Not much of a race if you’re already engaged-” started Hanna, but Roxxane was quick to interrupt with a laugh. 

“Well then you better get your man to it, huh?” challenged Roxxane, the female Neon smirking, causing Hanna to teasingly glower with a twinge of petty jealousy. 

“Hey, I don’t even have a man yet! That’s not fair!” exclaimed Slendithera angrily. 

Fiona couldn’t help but laugh, but a twinkle of worry crossed her eyes as her eyebrows knit together for a split second that Venno had managed to catch yet again. 

As the other three laughed and joked around, Venno couldn’t help but smile, nudging Fiona’s shoulder with her own as she lowered her own shot glass. 

“Hey, listen, there’s no need to worry about your ex. Being married feels amazing, being with the one you love, and you know that they love you back just as much. You and Barry are perfect for each other, and you know it. And remember, your ex is probably kicking himself right now knowing he missed out on someone who is going to be an absolute perfect wife to her second husband” said Venno, the Velociraptor smiling gently. 

Fiona frowned and glanced away for a minute before nodding, now smiling again. 

“Yeah, yeah, you’re right. If only my ex could see me know” said Fiona, the Pomeranian smiling proudly as she lifted her shot glass again and, without a beat of hesitation, drank the strong vodka down in one gulp.

This caused the other girls to quickly get upset as Fiona cheered loudly, her fists pumping in the air. 

“WOO-HOO! Bring us another bartender! This party is finally getting started tonight!” shouted Fiona as another round of shots was brought to their table.

Venno chuckled, the Velociraptor patting her shoulder. 

“Alright, calm down there, bride. You do NOT want to get a serious hangover because you got blackout drunk. That’s one of the worst kinds of drunk so let’s reel it back a bit. We still have a lot of other bars to go visit tonight so try not to drink more than two drinks at each one” said Venno, the Velociraptor having decided to be the responsible one. 

Fiona hiccuped, her hand covering her mouth in embarrassment. 

“Sorry, I’ll keep that in mind” said Fiona as the Pomeranian grabbed her second shot glass, raising it their time for a proper toast.
