[indent]With her long, wavy brown hair wrapped in a bun, with strands falling on the side of her bangs, Nina Valentine, a (2 weeks) new resident of Shine City, leaned her head on the tile of her [url=http://cdn.homedesignlover.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/20-yorkville.jpg]bathroom[/url]. The water was a light pink due to the bath salt she used for her occasional bubble bath, which she felt she deserved after all the errands she had accomplished today. [i]Treat yourself, amiright[/i]. There were lit candles on the counter, the scent of sweet peas filling the small area. Nina was in pure bliss. After this, she would grab a book, perhaps [i]Persuasion[/i] by Jane Austen, lay on her comfy bed in her large t-shirt and read until she fell asleep. She would need to stop at the University sometime this week to bring her things to her office and classroom! So many decoration plans she had. To say Nina was excited would be an understatement.  

The door latch swung right open as the abhorable Lucky successfully picked the lock to the bathroom and rudely interrupted his room mate’s bath time. He couldn’t help it though, he had to piss really bad. Plus, they had to get going! It was getting late and they hadn’t even begun to get their swag on. [color=#c7a848]”Let’s go, let’s go, Nina!”[/color] he shouted at her before rushing over to the tub, sticking his hand into the bubbly water, and pulling the stopper from the drain. A swell of water immediately poured into the pipes below. Even though she was totally nude, the redhead didn’t even seem to care. His bladder was way more important than the naked broad in the tub. Frantically, he waltzed over to the toilet, pulled his baggy jeans down, and, with a loud groan, began to relieve himself right then and there.

Her glacier blue eyes shot open with the sound of her roommate bursting in.  With a dropped mouth, her face beamed red but no words could escape her lips. Nina was completely stunned. [i][color=tomato]OH. MY. GOD.[/color][/i] First he drained her water with her not-so-cheap bath salt, then he went to go PEE! She wanted to cover her face and just die right then and there, but she needed to cover her body before the water was out. Bringing one arm to her chest, Nina concentrated [b]real hard[/b] to reach for her towel while he did his business. The struggle was real and so was the embarrassment. 

Once his stream had died down, he let out a sigh of relief and flushed the toilet. Boy, did he feel like a new man now! Nina’s baths took [i]forever[/i], and yeah, sure he was fine with pissing off the balcony or in the sink, he didn’t really want her to yell at him again for that. So breaking in was pretty the only alternative he had left! Turning his eyes to the brunette, Lucky cocked an eyebrow at her struggle, reaching for something as she was. Right! She needed a towel. Behind him, he snatched the white cloth and threw it right in her face. [color=#c7a848]”Sorry, had to pee real bad. Get dry and get dressed! We’re going out tonight!”[/color] he informed his annoyed room mate. Tugging up his pants and walking out, he left the door wide open for her.

Taking the towel, with the speed of a human cheetah, Nina rushed to wrap her body. Why did she think rooming with him was a good idea?! If it wasn’t for that day where she found out he was homeless and living in his van, then she would not have normally extended the invitation to him. Before she could even get a word out to her roommate, Lucky had already left! He was incredibly rude and had this habit of constantly making her flustered. Exiting the bathtub, she went to the counter and blew out the candles. Gently storming out of the bathroom, Nina lied, “[color=tomato]I can’t go out tonight! I-I’m busy, [/color]” as she scurried to her bedroom, hoping she could lock him out… but… he knew how to pick a lock. 

Lucky snorted out a laugh as Nina tried to lie to him. That girl never did anything! [color=#c7a848]”Right, and I’m the King of Switzerland. You’re coming out tonight, you’re going to have fun, and [i]maybe[/i], if you’re real lucky, we’ll find you some D.”[/color] he commented, relaxing himself against the door frame to her room. [color=#c7a848]”Make sure you put on some lipstick. Guys like that, usually.”[/color] The firestorm of a man assumed she was going to be dressing nice, or at least hopefully. Regardless, it didn’t matter. Wherever they went tonight, he was gonna make sure they had a good time. Maybe they’d go to the casino? Get free drinks and throw all their money away! Or maybe to the club and get their groove on? Who the hell knew?! They would just go with the flow.

Holding her door and wanting to slam it in his face, Nina glared at him. Mind you, this school teacher didn’t get riled up that easily, but when it came to this damn mechanic, she just couldn’t help herself. “[color=tomato]I don’t want the D![/color]” All the poor woman wanted was her bed and a good story, with the reward of getting some sleep tonight. “[color=tomato]Why don’t you go and have an awesome time, while I clean up that mess you left in the kitchen?[/color]” 

Another chuckle emanated from the rather unsuccessful mechanic as Nina began her outburst. Man, she was so easy to pick on! And so sensitive! If there was girl he couldn’t see himself with in a million years, it was Ms. Valentine here. Great woman, but boy did she have some issues! She just did not know how to live. [color=#c7a848]”C’mon, Nina. It’ll be fun. We’ll go out, have a few drinks, maybe meet some friends. That sounds like a much better time than sitting around and [i]cleaning[/i].”[/color] he tried to convince her, leering at her daringly. 

Pushing him out of her door frame, Nina sighed, too tired to deal with his crap, “[color=tomato]If I go, I’m only having one drink. I don’t want to wake up with a hangover, deal?[/color]” Maybe he would take her to a nice and calm bar where she could mingle with an attractive guy. There were possibilities tonight. The irony of this situation was, she actually considered Lucky as a potential lover up until they started living together. Ha! What a joke. An extremely short lived crush. 

Only one drink? There were plenty of beverages out there that would get you fucked up with just one drink, something his dear friend obviously didn’t know. Clicking his tongue, he feigned a thoughtful expression, as if he were seriously thinking about the terms of the deal. [color=#c7a848]”Oh, I just don’t know if we can have fun like that… But I suppose I’ll go along with the deal.”[/color] he mischievously responded. A humored smile threatened to spread onto his lips, but he managed to keep a blank face. Otherwise, Nina might get suspicious of him.

Narrowing her cold gaze, she slowly closed the door. [color=tomato][i]I got a bad feeling about this.[/i][/color][/indent]

[hr][h3][i]11:00 pm[/i][/h3]
[indent]Nina decided to wear a simple and comfortable [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/f4/55/2c/f4552c4aef6c495ab6c318d57c8f0fa7.jpg]outfit[/url] (minus the sun hat, since it was night). In her opinion, she thought this was a suitable outfit to wear out, night or day. Her light green skirt passed her knees, a brown belt tied around her thin waist, and her striped shirt was loose and slightly large for someone of her physique. Lucky didn’t specify what kind of lipstick she should wear so she chose a light rose pink color and even took the time to hide her dark circles, giving her face a more [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/c6/a9/5c/c6a95c171812c5e394c28a4a690756ca.jpg]angelic[/url] undertone. Staring at herself briefly through her Vanity mirror, Nina smiled half-heartedly to her reflection, “[color=tomato]Alright. You can do this. Maybe... there is a decent guy out there waiting for you.[/color]” Her outfit felt like it was missing something. Opening her jewelry case, her gaze rested on a velvet midnight blue engagement ring box before she grabbed a [url=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q7H5daARk5A/TTIluAUUZ-I/AAAAAAAANwk/pJrPzGohXKA/s1600/pearl+bracelet.JPG]pearl bracelet[/url] and slipped it on her right wrist (she was a lefty). 

Where Nina had decided to dress up in the most bland clothes imaginable, Lucky had not even bothered to change or do anything to his appearance. His red hair was a mess, his white tank top sucked up against his chest, and his blue jeans had a strange mustard stain near his left ankle. The only thing he did add was his classic black-and-red flannel shirt, which dangled on his shoulders, a testament to his hillbilly heritage. He had yet to adapt to the posh style of the city slickers around him. Unfortunately, clothes required money, which was something he was dangerously low on. 

After closing her bedroom door, with her light cream clutch purse attached to her wrist by a strap and firmly held in her left hand, she softly called out with her serene voice, “[color=tomato]I’m ready, Lucky.[/color]” 

In his gruff and Southern inflected tone, he murmured, [color=#c7a848]”I mean, you coulda spiced it up a little…”[/color] Lucky shook his head at her tameness, wondering if she would ever get bold enough to do something a little bit more risque with herself. Dangling her car keys in front of her, his right hand rattled them around, silently telling her that he was driving tonight. [color=#c7a848]”Well, let’s get going. Let’s see if you can get [i]one[/i] number tonight with that outfit on.”[/color] 

Her response was simply a dirty look and walking ahead of him. He acted like her car was his, but she was too tired to care. Having him drive wouldn’t be so bad tonight. [/indent]

[hr][h3][i]11:03pm[/i][/h3]
[indent]The blue Mazda CX-5 that was Nina’s was filled with her music from her Ipod. The current song being played was [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qijQC-m2IDs]Magic Man[/url] by Heart. Something both her and Lucky surprisingly agreed on. Granted, Nina’s music interest was all over the place, especially since she was always finding new things that inspired her creativity. Subtly moving her head to the steady groove, Nina faintly sang the lyrics while she waited anxiously to see where they were going. Lucky wanted to surprise her, which wasn’t reassuring.  “[color=tomato]Winter nights we sang in tune, played inside the months of moon. Never think of never let this spell last forever. Well, summer lover passed to fall, tried to realize it all…[/color]”

Lucky assumed this particular song was Nina’s “warm up” song, something that kind of let her fantasies run wild. He wasn’t exactly sure if this Magic Man was really her type, but he wasn’t about to ruin her moment. To his surprise, the girl actually had a set of chops on her. The woman didn’t seem like she would have a great voice, but she was just full of surprises, wasn’t she? [color=#c7a848]“Huh. Didn’t take you for the singing type.”[/color] He flashed a grin at her to emphasize his amusement with the idea.

Concentrating on the road ahead, the flashing lights of the city passing them by, the redhead’s stormy grey eyes caught sight of a particular stranger walking on the other side of the road. Tall, dark haired, and with looks to kill, this lady had his heart skip a beat in the seconds he was able to get a glance at her. Though the car zoomed past this mysterious woman, Lucky made enough of her out to want to go back and get a closer look. Stomping on the brake and sharply turning the steering wheel to the left, he spun the car around with a roaring squeal. Had a more inexperienced driver, such as Nina, tried this, this probably would have resulted in a catastrophe. Now in the other lane, with no traffic in sight, he cruised up to the beauty he had bypassed, rolling down his window all the while. No doubt both she and his roommate would be more than surprised by his antics. [color=#c7a848]“Hey there, sweet thing. I saw you, and uh… Damn, I just have to say you are absolutely beautiful.”[/color] An inviting smile was plastered onto his face and there was nothing but sweet genuineness dripping from his words.

“[color=tomato]L-Lucky, what are you doing?[/color]” Although his compliment was flattering and not how he catcalled her (HEY SEXY, how you doin’?), Nina didn’t want this stranger to be creeped out. With genuine care written on her face, the teacher apologized, “[color=tomato]I’m so sorry! He gets carried away.[/color]” 

[color=#00aeef]”U-um, h-hello…”[/color] the woman, none other than Tsubasa Yukimori, blinked in surprise at the gentleman with the fiery hair, now staring up at her from the driver’s seat of what appeared to be an awfully inconspicuous car. ...unless they were rapists, and-

[color=#00aeef]”A-ah! That’s alright…!”[/color] Tsubasa shook her head and gave Nina a tiny smile, though simultaneously pulling her jacket over her blue dress tighter still. It was rare she was approached by strangers like this, but it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing to have happened. She was having an awful day as it was, perhaps this would be the thing to cheer her up. And, she had to admit, it had been a very, very long time since she had been called ‘beautiful’.

[color=#00aeef]“Thank you, Mister…”[/color] she trailed off, letting her eyes drift back to the gentleman in the driver’s seat. Her face was pale, contrasting heavily with the night sky above them, and her eyes seemed red and puffy, as if she had been crying (which, of course, she couldn’t deny she had). Of course, she bit her bottom lip and hoped neither of the people in the car would pick up on it. [color=#00aeef]“...forgive me, I haven’t even asked your name, a-and...o-oh, I’m so sorry…”[/color] she shook her head here. Taking a little breath, she stood up a little straighter, and carefully shoved her hands into the pockets of her dark jacket, giving the pair a serene, if bittersweet smile, [color=#00aeef]“It’s a pleasure to meet you both, haha. What a...lovely evening, isn’t it?”[/color]

Oh boy, it seemed like the vixen in front of him hadn’t been having such a great night. She looked like she had been just dumped on the side of the road and forgotten, or maybe her long time boyfriend had just kicked her to curb and broken up with her. Lucky’s visage turned serious, almost sympathetic. [color=#c7a848]”I’m Lucky, and this is Nina. We’re roommates.”[/color] he explained to her, while Nina sweetly waved. [color=#c7a848]”Um… I know this is weird and all, but you look like you could use a friend tonight. Do you wanna come along with us? I promise we’re not like crazy murderers or serial rapists. We’re just out to have a good time.”[/color] He flashed a welcoming grin to her in assurance. Sad girls tore him apart, and Lucky was definitely the type to run to a crying girl’s aid. 

Nodding at what Lucky had said, Nina added, “[color=tomato]Or we could take you home, whatever you want.[/color]” She paused, her glacier blue orbs meeting the other woman’s gaze, “[color=tomato]I’m kind of new here, but I wouldn’t mind making a new friend, if you do choose to tag along.[/color]” 

[color=#00aeef]”I…”[/color] Tsubasa hesitated, biting her lip just a little harder. These people were being so [i]nice[/i], so [i]genuine[/i] too. She was curious as to what ‘a good time’ was exactly, but the woman sitting in the passenger seat had her convinced. Tsubasa even saw a little bit of herself in the woman, if that didn’t sound too odd. [color=#00aeef]“I could go home, but I live a little while from here. On the outskirts of the city…?”[/color] she looked to their faces for a hint of recognition, but dismissed the idea with a tiny sigh, hazel eyes meeting clear blue ones, and then shifting to stormy grey. Throwing caution to the wind, she balled her fists and gave the couple a more genuine smile, though her eyes still remained sad. [color=#00aeef]“I think I changed my mind. I’d like to come along, very much, mister and miss...but I hardly know you, and…”[/color] she found herself hesitating again.

[i]Ah, screw it. If not now, then when, Tsubasa?[/i]

[color=#00aeef]“You know what? I’m heading wherever you two are, if you’ll have me.”[/color] she giggled, extending a hand to the gentleman in the driver’s seat, [color=#00aeef]“My name is Tsubasa. Tsubasa Yukimori. I was having a bad day, and...and I really think this will help me feel better! ...thank you, very, very much, hah.”[/color]

A pit of rejection had begun to grow within Lucky as the lovely lady before him had commenced her explanation, which he totally understood. However, this Tsubasa actually agreed to come along. How about that? His grin spread ever wider, and his hand reached out for hers. Rather than simply shaking it though, he planted his lips onto the back of her hand in the most gentlemanly of ways. [color=#c7a848]”Hey, Nina. Let her sit up front, yeah?”[/color] he called over to his roommate, though he was totally fixated on Tsubasa. It would be easier to get to know this woman if she was directly beside him, instead of back there where he was bound not to hear her.

Although Nina was confused with Lucky’s request, she didn’t argue. Instead, she opened her door and left it open for the other girl, but she waited for the girl to come to the passenger’s side, before extending her hand, “[color=tomato]I’m Nina Valentine. Soon-to-be professor at Shine City University. It’s nice to formally meet you, Tsubasa.[/color]” If the stranger was nervous, the older woman wanted to make sure she could ease her anxiety, even if only a little. 

Colour flooded gently to the brunette’s cheeks when Lucky, as he had called himself, kissed the back of her hand. My goodness, how long had it been since anyone had even tried to woo her…? What a shame, that it had to be- [color=#00aeef]“That’s very kind of you, truly, you don’t have to mo-”[/color]

But before she could finish her sentence, the woman in the car (whom Tsubasa duly noted was drop-dead gorgeous, so much so that she thought that apart from just roommates that she and her ‘roommate’ Lucky were going out on a date) had already moved, and with a shy but excited skip in her step, she made her way over to the passenger’s side. When she properly locked eyes with her, the worry seemed to slip from her face, and Tsubasa found herself smiling more naturally, as if relieved. No, were those...tears, welling up in the corners of her eyes? No, she wasn’t worried about that at the moment. Still, they glinted like liquid mercury in the corner of her eyes, and she swiftly wiped them away with the back of her hand before continuing, [color=#00aeef]“Nina Valentine... You have such a beautiful name, miss. And you...you’re so lovely, yourself, I’m sure your boyfriend really is ‘Lucky’, heh. Oh, you didn’t have to move for me, honest, I-I’d feel awful if I was being a bother to you two, and-”[/color] she caught herself rambling again. Taking a deep breath, she caught onto the last bit of conversation. [color=#00aeef]“Shine City Academy! Oh, would you believe it, an old friend of mine works there, haha. I wonder if you’ll bump into him anytime soon…”[/color] Tsubasa said, extending her hand for a handshake. Her hand was warm, as compared to Tsubasa’s. As of late, her hands had always been cold, and her handshakes weak, but she felt a new vigour enter her. This would definitely be a good night.

Stepping into the car carefully, beside the driver, for the first time she noted his appearance. Attractive beyond a doubt, and in a much different way to what the usual Shine Citizens looked like. He had an air about him of a rockstar, but also someone who liked to let go and live life to the fullest. He seemed like a man who was a lot of fun, and Tsubasa couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy. How long had it been since she had been in love? Ever since she was younger and sickly, it hadn’t happened a lot… She caught herself staring at how his hair fell over his eyes, and how his arms were muscular, and must have been great for hugging, and-

She abruptly shut the passenger door with a nervous little laugh and cleared her throat, [color=#00aeef]“Oh, forgive me if I’m disturbing you two...y-you two must be a couple, too, huh?”[/color]

This girl… Nina couldn’t help but stare at her with motherly concern and love. There was something about her that reminded her of herself. If the tears weren’t enough explanation of the demons she was battling, the older woman didn’t know what was. Crying came easily when you’re burdened with some kind of darkness. Nina knew that pretty well. As the girl entered the car, she too followed suit, but in the back seat (of her car), “[color=tomato]I’m looking forward to meeting your friend, whoever they may be.[/color]” Plopping her bottom on the seat and folding her hands on her lap, she carefully listened to the sweet girl before chuckling (but not trying to be offensive), “[color=tomato]Oh, that’s just golden. I wouldn’t be able to date this guy, even if I tried. We’re roommates. He dragged me out because he doesn’t think I know how to live.[/color]” she ended her response with an annoyed eye roll. 

Lucky let out a snort in reply to Tsubasa’s notion that Nina and him were a thing. That would never, ever, [i]ever[/i] happen. She was too motherly or something to that effect for him. Either way, Nina was an absolute NO for him. While the ladies chatted, he thought about where to take them. Obviously, somewhere to take away their woes and to electrify their lives. Where better than LUSH? Nina could find herself a man to dance with, and Lucky could get to know this attractive young lady beside him more. The prospect of that had his adrenaline rushing already. Hey, it might not get him laid, but it would be worth it if he had a good time, right? [color=#c7a848]”I hope you ladies like dancing ‘cause where we’re going…”[/color] He trailed off with a snicker and pulled back onto the main road. No matter how all this ended, he was sure they were going to have a great night! Even that old prude Nina… 

[color=#00aeef]“I think you’ll quite like him.”[/color] Tsubasa smirked, easing into the leather of the chair a little more as her thoughts drifted to her old friend. He was someone she had known for quite a while, growing up in Shine City, after all, and since she now lived closer than ever to him at the city’s outskirts, she could visit him more, too. [color=#00aeef]“He’s a professor of biology, at the academy, now, I believe. Still, he’s rather young...maybe you’ll meet him someday soon! I really do hope so.”[/color]

The brunette was rather shocked at the reaction the duo had to being ‘shipped’ together, and she blinked from him, to her, to him again, and then back to her. And then, for the first time all day, instead of just a chuckle, Tsubasa let out a little laugh. It was sweet, and serene and calm, but above all, it was happy. It promised new beginnings, and blissful endings. It was a laugh free from her haunting melancholia. [color=#00aeef]“I do see what you mean, ah...you two really are quite the pair.”[/color]

“[color=tomato]A man of science? He sounds intriguing already. Smart like my brothers.[/color]” 

Here, Tsubasa shut her eyes, laying back into her seat more and listening to the sound of the gentle road, Nina’s voice, and-a very abrupt interjection from Lucky, who asked if she liked dancing, and-

Her eyes shot open and she gave Nina, and then Lucky, and then Nina, a horrified look. She looked the part of a frightened doe, in the flesh, and she whispered to Nina, almost like a terrified hissing sound, [color=#00aeef]“I-I have no idea how to dance!”[/color]

Nina watched the buildings pass her by and the many creatures of the night, looking for a wild adventure or two. The teacher’s face went pale when Lucky said they were going dancing. In Lucky logic, that meant they were going to a club! Oh, no, no, no. “[color=tomato]Lucky, you can’t be serious? I-I have never went to a- I thought we were going to a bar or something![/color]” 

[color=#c7a848]”A club [i]is[/i] a bar, darlin’. It’s a bar with lots of dancing anyway. It’ll be lots of fun, I promise.”[/color] he reassured the two, pushing the pedal down to get them really speeding towards their destination. [color=#c7a848]”If you don’t know how to dance, then I’ll teach you. This white boy has got some moves.”[/color] Oh, this was going to be great! Two girls who had no idea what they were getting into! But that should have been the exciting part! They were experiencing something new, and lucky for them, they had someone there who would hold their hands and help get their feet wet with the whole process. [color=#c7a848]”Yeah, you two don’t look like you should be going to a club in those outfits, but who cares? You both look good. Especially you, Tsu.”[/color] He dangerously diverted his eyes from the road to give the younger woman a wink. Hopefully what he would call his “charm” was starting to rub off on her.

And from one particular car on the road on that fateful Sunday, two very quiet, frightened whimpering sounds could be heard. It seemed that the two young women weren’t so different, after all.[/indent]

[hr][h3][i]11:27pm[/i][/h3]
[indent]Holding tight onto the ends of her shirt, Nina breathed in and out as they were immediately allowed into the club. Two girls and one guy? Hell yeah. Clubs loved to bump up the female ratio to bring in dumb, drunk men. It was all a scheme for money. Letting go of her shirt, the older brunette blinked at the flashing lights. [color=tomato][i]Oh god, someone save me, I’m too old for this.[/i][/color]. The music was incredibly loud, she could hardly hear herself think. Out of her own fear of her life, she grabbed onto Tsubasa’s arm as if they’ve known each other for years. 

Tsubasa’s coat was seemingly forcefully taken from her, and suddenly, she felt very exposed. It didn’t help that the music was pounding, and she had a headache after crying earlier, and everything seemed to be throbbing in unison, and the colours and lights only made it worse, and she couldn’t help but whimper more under her breath. She felt someone - probably Nina - grab onto her arm and actually did the same, even scooting closer to the older - if shorter - woman as if company would be their saving grace. It was them vs. the rest of this place, filled with drunkards to no end, and Tsubasa felt her heart beating right out of her chest, almost. It was beating in her throat, in fact. [color=#00aeef]“O-oh god…”[/color] she stuttered, clearly just as shocked as she was morbidly curious as to what happened here. She wasn’t much of a clubber, but she had a feeling that was about to change pretty soon…

[color=magenta]"DJ Licks is in the building and she wants all you lovely people out there tonight to lose yourself in the rhythms! Find you someone to dance with because nothing sadder than dancing alone!"[/color] [sub][@Fabricant451][/sub]

While Tsubasa and Nina were shivering in their anxiety, Lucky had sauntered off to get them all drinks. They were going to have one hell of a night, regardless of how they felt about alcohol. Setting up a tab for them, the devious redhead ordered all three patrons a [i]hard[/i] drink: the AMF, otherwise known as the Adios Mother Fucker. It was a potent combination of vodka, rum, tequila, gin, Blue Caracao, sweet and sour mix, and lemon lime soda, surely going to kick them in the ass if they weren’t prepared. Oh, and Nina thought she was going to have relaxing night without much of a buzz. She was very much mistaken. Laughing to himself, he ran back to his troupe, their “party amplifiers” in hand. 

Lucky had ran off! They were going to die, for sure. Nina looked at her new friend and apologized profusely and tried to tell her, “[color=tomato]I’m so so sorry![/color]” but only for her words to be covered by the music.  They both were deer in headlights, as everyone else was having what Lucky considered: a good time. 

Back again, he handed out his treat to the ladies before he held his own drink up. [color=#c7a848]”Drink it fast, girls. Last one has to take off their top, just sayin’.”[/color] It was meant as a joke, but he didn’t necessarily mind if they went along with it. 

Oh hell no. Nina knew that the music would cover her words and that Lucky was not kidding, so she quickly darted her eyes toward Tsubasa, warning her to do it. If there was one thing Nina learned about Lucky, he was a man of his word. 

[color=#00aeef]“Huh?! What?!”[/color] Tsubasa found herself calling over the crowd, eyes anxious as they met Nina’s, but it was too late and Lucky was back soon enough, grinning like a fox with drinks ready in his hands. Tsubasa held hers firmly, though her hands were shaking and she looked at Nina as if for approval, and, having just heard Lucky’s wager, she was worried for a second about these strangers that she had bumped into. Was their plan to make her strip here after all, and have her engage in some really unsightly porno-esque-

Regardless, she didn’t want to be the one taking off her top. More than anything else, because it was a dress. Taking off one’s top wasn’t exactly an option, and there was no way Tsubasa was going to find herself in the middle of this club in just her lingerie, stockings and shoes. Giving Nina a firm nod, she took the drink and tilted her head back, guzzling it down faster than she had ever felt herself guzzling a drink before and-

It took microseconds for it to hit her. Like a gut-punch, it must have taken all of ten seconds to get to her head, and she was only about half a glass in, and already woozy on her feet. It didn’t taste bad, per se, but...strong. For someone who didn’t drink often (read: at all), it was quite the new experience, and she found herself giggling uncontrollably in minutes after having downed the potent potion handed to her (as well as fighting the increasing urge to...oddly, throw up). In her right mind, she would have been cautious. Was this drugged? Perhaps it was drugged. Maybe they wanted to rape her, or send her to a whorehouse, or-

[color=#00aeef]“Whooooo, Lucky, this is amaaaazing~!”[/color] she squealed, her pale cheeks gone a hot red as she grinned at the man whose hair her cheeks now matched. [color=#00aeef]“My head...my head’s spinning though, it feels like it’s gonna explode, and I think I’m gonna-I’m gonna…!”[/color]

Immediately, she lost her footing, and seemed to trip over her own feet (hardly something you could blame her for, because in a club that crowded, there was literally no room to move around at all), and found herself nearly crashing to the ground, until-

The redhead hadn’t even touched his drink, and those two were downing those suckers like wasteland survivors who had just found water. [i]Shit.[/i] It was honestly a surprise that they had taken him seriously at all, but damn, here they were. And now they were both gonna be real screwed up. Glancing at his own drink, he pondered if he should actually be drinking since these girls were going to require some careful monitoring. If he didn’t, then they might end up god knows where in this city. Suddenly, Tsubasa was about to tumble to the ground before Lucky’s free hand quickly grabbed her by the arm and reeled her into his embrace. [color=#c7a848]”Woah there, tiger. Can’t be fallin’ for me yet. You just met me, you know?”[/color] he flirtatiously called down to her, a broad grin spread out over his face. Yeah, he definitely wasn’t going to be drinking tonight. He was, however, going to be taking off his shirt, according to the stipulations he had put forth.

[color=#00aeef]“Why, sank you, Rucky”[/color] Tsubasa returned the grin to the gentleman who had her securely held to his chest, barely resisting the embrace (mostly because she knew she’d collapse to the ground in a heap if he’d let go!) In this moment, she took the time to inspect him closer. His stormy grey eyes were brilliant, and filled with something she thought to be wanderlust. Adventure? And his arms were so strong around her, too, that she didn’t even want to move from her spot. And his smile and his voice, and that cute accent he had that she just couldn’t place, and- [color=#00aeef]“Farrin’ for you? Oh, Rucky, don’t be sirry, you sirry goose, you~”[/color] She felt his breaths warm on her face and scrunched up her nose a little bit in response. Her own breath probably smelled - no, reeked - of alcohol already. But, as it were, this little lady didn’t seem too upset about it, gazing up at him through mischievous half-lidded hazel eyes with a grin giving the Cheshire Cat’s a run for its money.

While those two were in a loving embrace, Nina looked at her empty glass and then up at them. Unlike Tsubasa who seemed to be the ‘giggly’ drunk, the teacher’s face lightened up, her anxiety flown right out the window (for now), and her passions flew out her mouth like a whirlwind, “[color=tomato]Guys, you cute. Tsubasa, I know we met...like...not toooooo long ago. But I love you FOREVER.[/color]” A passionate woman by heart meant that when she was drunk, her emotions would be the most vibrant. Pulling Tsubasa away from Lucky possessively and handing her drink to him, she playfully growled, “[color=tomato]Let’s teach cutie how to dance~[/color]” Noting Tsubasa’s intoxicating and adorable allure, Lucky gave his drink and the empty glass to someone random and tossed his flannel jacket and tank top to the ground, as promised, to reveal the well toned muscles beneath. These two were going to be a handful, he could already tell. Without further adieu, the older brunette grabbed onto her lovely friends’ hands and took them to the dance floor. They were going to get down tonight!
