Homecoming Queen (Such a Shame, Shame, Shame)

Seems to Me (She's A Casualty)

Rikki arrived at work an hour late, and after a quick argument with her boss, set to work at the bar.

"Hey baby." She swiveled, a larger drunk man sitting at the bar. "Wanna get out of here?" He slurred, Rikki frowned, she was still livid about Bam and any guy was gonna get the back end of her aggression.

"No, I have to work you pig. Now order something or get the hell away from me." The guy persisted and continued talking, drinking and making rude comments. Rikki was used to it, she lived with men her whole life, drinking, swearing and sexual comments were typical. "...You don't dress like that unless you want to have sex, amirite?" He growled catching Rikki by the wrist. "Come on, I'm sure you won't regret it."

"Hey, she said shove off." Rikki turned and groaned, Bam walking in, distinctly drunk.

"Bam, go home, you're drunk, where is Ryan?" Bam shrugged and glared at the guy holding onto Rikki's wrist.

"Oh, and you're gonna make me shorty? Gonna kick my ass?" The guy asked, getting up and pulling Rikki onto the counter.

"Okay, ow. Security? No? Nothing? Of course." Rikki grumbled, snaking her wrist loose from the larger man's grip and rubbing it jently. "Bam, Go home."

"Yeah, you don't want to take me on little fella, wouldn't want you to break a nail and go crying back to your boyfriend." Bam growled and balled his fists. He stopped staggering around, Rikki went to leave only for the other man to grab her by the arm, pulling her back roughly, his fingers putting a bruised ring around her shoulder. "Wait here doll, I want you to see this." Rikki scoffed and yanked her arm loose, jumping the bar and walking over to Bam.

"On second thought." Rikki wound up and slapped Bam roughly across the face, the pain sobering him up slightly. "Kick his ass Calamity." Rikki rubbed her shoulder and balled up her own fists. "CHESTER RUMBLE!" She shouted, The two of them tackling the bigger man, causing him to lose his footing. He got a few solid hits in on the two of them, knocking them off twice. But never being the kind to back down, they were always right back on him. That is, until security pried them off and dumped them outside along with Rikki's job.

"That was great!" Bam laughed, toppling backward on the concrete, cradling his sore arm. Rikki looked at him with a frown before Bam spoke again. "Did you see his face when you shouted Chester Rumble? He was so scared!" Bam laughed hysterically again, Rikki's face cracking into a grin.

"He wailed on you man." Rikki said with a laugh, laying back on the concrete with her unbruised arm behind her head. "Well I'm fired now."

"No. You... You're gonna, gonna work on the movie." Bam slurred, rolling over. "I need an assistant."

"Assistant? Translation somebody to drag your drunk whoring ass place to place? No thanks."

"I'll pay you. I'm good for the money and I owe you, my fault you got fired anyways." Rikki sighed and rolled over to face Bam, who was smiling drunkenly and tracing circles on the sidewalk with his finger. "Pleeeeeaaaaassssse?" Rikki thought a moment, Bam was drunk and begging her to work for him. They hated each other sober, so why was he so dead set on getting her to come back to West Chester?

"Fine, but only because without the job you got me fired from I'll end up on the streets."

"Cool. Pick you up at seven...."

"So, leave the shit couch here?" Bam and Rikki laughed, facing each other on the sidewalk, they had an understanding. Even if they hated each other, there was no way they were getting away from each other.

"Okay folks, Ryan hustle up, Johnny what are you doing? Over there!" Rikki was holding a megaphone and barking orders, Bam grabbing the megaphone and setting it on the ground.
