Rae had to laugh at Eli's plan of having David entertain them while drunk. They'd been drunk around one another a few times, so Eli knew Rae's silly-drunk tendencies, how giggly she was and how much more straightforwardly honest she was. It was some sort of god-given miracle that she hadn't spilled her crush on Eli one time when they'd had a little too much to drink. She just smirked, shaking her head.
"You make him sound like your own personal drunken puppet," she said with a wry smirk. "Promise me you'll try and make him sing the Men in Tights song again and we have a deal. Or some other ridiculous song," she added. They had a deal regardless, but she felt it necessary to say. Just in case.
The mention of guys paying attention to her knees and she shrugged a shoulder. "Normally you'd have me there, but you'd be surprised actually," she said. "Lots of guys who went into my bar wanted the picture perfect Barbie doll as their stripper. So they saw knobby dancer's knees and were a little rebuked. I didn't care though. I was mostly in it for the dancing, you know?" her face got wistful there, because she really missed dancing. She never got to do it anymore. She shook it off and brought herself back into the conversation. "I know who I am and I know that aside from my knobby knees, I'm not ugly, so…" she shrugged.
She gave him a sincere smile. "Good. We'll fill up a boat and then we'll head out. Because I don't know about you but I think we need something good to happen," she said with a grin. She didn't know how her father would respond. As a matter of fact she was more or less sure that it wouldn't be positive. But she was going. Regardless of whether he agreed or not. Seeing him happy was more than worth whatever risk.
Rae smirked yet again. "The best pranks end in at least a little bit of ouch," she mused. "Amy didn't speak to us for the rest of the night. But it was worth it. That's something I'll never forget," she said, standing back up and taking her place back on the table before she was tempted to do something stupid.
