After having some at the arcade, meeting some people briefly before getting a call and ordered to be dragged along to a mixer, it took some time for the tall blonde to find her way through the city and back to the station but it all turned out alright. Her friend and fellow firefighter, Marine, dragged her shopping in preparation for the night. For a little mixer and to try out the drinks at the small bar. Ashton herself had never been as she doesn't really drink. Marine was often the one dragging her to places, while also often scolding the tall blonde of the what not to do and what to do at places like a bar or even something like Club LUSH. Ashton would of assumed Marine would want to go to the party at the club, but said she didn't really want to get wet.

Forcibly clothed by her companion in order to fit their little going out, the tall woman wore a white tank top. A chained necklace hanging around her neck and resting on her chest, two rectangular silver flat pendants resting against her flat chest and the boogie board that was still around her neck. Old dog tags, Marine insisted in wearing them. Wearing a black leather jacket, fitting nicely with her body unlike her regular baggy coat. Black skinny jeans, and black boots. Still wearing her regular fingerless black gloves. Ashton didn't really like how tightly these clothes hugged her body but she had little choice in the matter. Especially the light grey vest underneath to assist in making her more ambiguous.

[color=gold]"Alright here's the plan. Now that your actually dressed pretty well, along to fit in with a nice look. Not really girly and more of a bad tomboy type. Fit with that scarface, your height and muscles. Plus, despite being scarface, having a very pretty face and having the soft personality to go with it, the competition will surely be a bit distracted by you. Leaving room for me to snag the babes. All you got to do is be a little prince charming kay? Man bringing you to a mixer is the best! Guys rarely dig tall chicks, but even girls will give pause. Best distraction for enemies and less competition."[/color] Marine rattled off with a devious smirk, blue eyes a light with determination. Her auburn hair fluttering in the night air as they walked side by side. Standing only around 5'0 and wearing a black long sleeve shirt that showed off a bit of her assets and skinny light blue jeans.

The tall blonde just stared at her friend, raising a eyebrow in mild confusion but the fellow firefighter rolled her blue eyes and roughly took the taller woman's hand. Dragging her into the bar known as the Cornerstone. Ashton blinked her amethyst eyes as she rubbed the back of her head with her free hand before heading to one of the occupied tables by Marine. Already chittering to the people already there, four men and two other girls. Unfortunately they seemed to have already started drinking and one of the guys was a bit too intoxicated.

[color=plum]"Hic..... Well... howdy... hic... beautiful... Y-Ya know yah got there a  nice.... ass. Mind shakin... and see what yo mama gave ya to us?"[/color] One of the men said, having black hair with dyed purple tips, a dark tan, and wearing a red shirt with blue jeans. Practically hanging over one of the girls, a brunette with green eyes, wearing a pretty short sleeve white shirt with frills and a pink skirt. 

[color=pink]"Ew! Get off you drunk! Eep! Hey don't touch there!"[/color] the harassed girl squealed as she tried to shove him off her and smack groping hands. 

Ashton took a step to intervene but Marine was the first to do it. [color=gold]"Geez, get a drunken ass already? Hey moron why don't you sober up before you make yourself appear like a bigger idiot? Or I sock you one?"[/color] the auburn haired tiny girl said with annoyance, watching as the drunken man looked at them and stumbled up and moved closer, standing about 6'2 and towering over Marine. 

[color=plum]"O-Oh yeah little girl? Whatcha gonna do about it..? S...School girls should be in bed... Not.... ruining little fun! Y-You too tiny to do anythin' anyway."[/color] the drunken man slurred.

Marine's blue eyes twitched in anger, disliking that the drunkard had called her tiny before smirking. Ashton didn't like that smirk. It mean she was conducting a plan that would somehow in her mind benefit her. The auburn haired girl then moved around Ashton and pressed her hands against the middle of the blonde's back, pushing her closer to the drunkard. [color=gold]"I don't have to! Ashy! Be a dear and handle this! I think our dear friend is much too out of it to socialize properly. We wouldn't want to cause everyone in the bar trouble because of his intolerance to a little alcohol."[/color] she said sweetly before sitting down at the table beside the other girls.

Ashton's amethyst eyes widened, mouth slightly dropped as she stared at her friend before switching her gaze to the drunkard who had to crane his neck a bit to look at her. She gave a friendly smile, raising both hands and waving them a little in a slight nervous motion of 'please calm down sir' sort of way.

[color=plum]"Holy shit... this... dude's tall... the hell? Ya trying... to take all the chicks buddy? Yeeeeou aint so tough!... skinny.. can crush you... knock your teeth in..."[/color] The drunk slurred in a confident manner as he put up his fists.

Ashton quickly shaked her head, eyes wide and hands waving. Not wishing for a fight. However, he didn't listen or didn't understand her as he just swung a fist at her with his right fist. Immediately she caught his wrist and pulled him toward her at full force, swinging her right knee up and slamming it right in his stomach. A brief grunt before the man's body slumped, in which the blonde quickly caught and helped him to the table to sit down and rest his head. Examining him to see him just sleep soundly now.

[color=gold]"Awe, it was so short. No fun Ash."[/color] Marine said with a pout, smiling innocently as Ashton shot her a scolding look. Eyes half narrowed waved her curled up left hand with only the index finger extended in a scolding manner. Marine just chuckled and shrugged her shoulders. [color=gold]"Awe come on! He was obviously just going to be trouble like that, and you know how to knock people out without too much damage. But darn, means one less guy to mingle with. Shame."[/color] Marine sighed.

[color=lime]"Sorry about that.... I'll take him home."[/color] one of the other men said, a brunette with bangs as he helped his apparent friend and carried him out.

[color=gold]"Awe damn... make it two down.. Just my luck."[/color] Marine sighed.

Ashton rolled her eyes and sighed as well before looking at the harassed girl who looked a bit shaken up, the other girl, who had black hair, trying to comfort her. Picking up the menu, she flipped through before opening it and pointing at the list of drinks. Smiling brightly and friendly like, despite what just happened. The girls looked at her in confusion before glancing to Marine who chirped up.

[color=gold]"Awe Ash! So sweet to get us drinks! I'll have a Bloody Mary!"[/color] Marine chirped.

Everyone paused at the table before looking to the blonde and listing off what drinks they wanted. The blonde slowly nodded and put the menu down and walked over to the bar counter. Gingerly sighing as she grabbed her boogie board and wrote down all the ordered drinks so the bartender could make them.
