Drinking 2: Electric Boogaloo

I woke up on the floor of the lobby. There was a waffle under my cheek, and I assumed it was some sort of pillow. I got up and stretched. My legs felt... different.

"Oh, hey," said Charlie. "You're finally awake! You and Husk had a crazy night last night. Wanna see?"

I couldn't help but wonder what all had to happen to leave me like this.

"Hey, Husk," said Charlie. "You gotta see, too!"

We both sat down on opposite sides of Charlie on a couch as she pulled up a video on her phone.

"Jeez," I said. "This video is super long."

I heard a laugh in front of me.

"You wanna know what else is super long?" Angel asked.

"Fuck off," said Husk.

Charlie hit play.

"Hey, Husk! Wanna have a drinking competition?" I asked.

He rolled his eyes.

"I think we all know who the obvious winner would be. M-" he started.

"Me," I interjected. "Obviously my liver won't break down. Who knows how long you've been drinking?"

"Alright, you're on!"

And the game began. I would have started on my third bottle, but it seemed to jump out of my hand and fall to the floor. Charlie flinched at the noise and called and end to the competition.

"That's enough, you guys," she said. "You might just die twice."

"Husk. Husky. Hey!" I said, looking up at him.

"The fuck do you want?" he asked, obviously drunk as well.

"You wanna see me get taller?"

"You... ya can't do that!"

"Watch me."

Somehow I started growing until I was only about an few inches shorter than him.

'Woah' was his only word.

"Heyyy, Husko!" I said.

"Huh?"

"By the power of the- ... power of the moon," I said, making a clumsy Sailor Moon pose. "Fuck me!"

"No! No!" Charlie yelled.

"Whee!" I said as she carried me away.

As soon as she set me down, I ran back over to Husk and kissed him, popping my heel up as our lips crashed together.

"You're my H20 Daddy-o," I whispered, finally pulling away.

Husk looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. He opened his mouth to say something, but collapsed out of exhaustion, leaving Charlie to try and get me to my room.

"No... no, I'm fine," I said, grabbing a waffle off the table.

"You have to go to bed, Raven!" she said.

"I'm okay... I'll sleep..." I said, looking around. "Here!"

I laid down and used the waffle a pillow. Yawning, I told Charlie goodnight and went to sleep.
