Status: Complete!
One of Kate’s sorority sisters, Lilah, was in town. She’d dragged Kate out pretty much every night to get their party on, and had ditched her every night to go home with different guys. (Lilah was a bit of a slut that way. No shame, Kate admired how much Lilah enjoyed sex. Kate would just prefer to have it with the same dude over and over.) Kate knew tonight would be no different, and after an hour she was left alone in the club. No big deal, she’d planned for this. Her phone buzzed, and she checked the time. Right on cue, she thought she saw a blonde woman heading her way. Thank god for Veronica Mars.
Clubs weren’t exactly Veronica’s thing. She usually just drank at a bar, mostly dive bars. But she was in need of a night out and Kate seemed to want some company that didn’t come in a sorority sister package. So here Veronica was, making her way through the club over to Kate. “Hey,” she said with a nod. “I need a drink.” Because well if there was any hope of her surviving the night alcohol was a must.
Kate nodded. “I just ordered us shots.” She said, breaking into a grin at the appearance of her friend. Kate knew the bartender here, and was able to get a good amount of alcohol for the price of the regular amount of alcohol. “I figured you’re normally pretty punctual,” she added, just as the bartender came over carrying their drinks. “It’s a bit loud, but I figure a change of scenery’s not necessarily a bad thing,” Kate said, leaning over a little and raising her voice so Veronica could hear her. She picked up the glass and held it up in a toast.
While it wasn’t bad Veronica wasn’t sure how good it was either. Oh well she was here now. Maybe this wasn’t her scene but it wasn’t so bad… so far. “A bit?” Veronica question practically yelling. But hey, shots were shots. And that was what really mattered. “To a change of scenery,” she yelled again holding up her shot before downing it.
Kate laughed, then downed her own shot. It was large, burny, and went down in two huge swallows. Then Kate gave a little cough. “That was a massive shot,” she explained, a little impressed with Veronica’s ability to handle it. “I think we should have another!” She said, grinning brightly. Tonight was a night for letting loose!
Veronica was a pro at drinking by now. There were times she worried she was going to end up like her mother. But she didn’t need to drink. There were times where she went without. But when the occasion called for it? Veronica could certainly hold her own. “You don’t have to ask me twice,” Veronica smirked already motioning the bartender for another round.
“Then dance? Are you in a dancing mood? Or do you want to hear my expansive collection of knock-knock jokes?” Kate teased. Of course, she probably only knew about two knock-knock jokes, but they could laugh about those a little. Waste a few minutes.
“You dance. I’ll drink.” Veronica wasn’t much of a dancer. Not the club type anyway. Kate was honestly lucky Veronica liked her. Not many people could even convince her to step foot in a club.
“Aww, you’re no fun.” Kate was still smirking, though. “Do you play darts? Pool?” Only an idiot would play darts with a superhero who shot stuff at stuff. But Kate wasn’t so great at pool. And the more she drank, the worse she got.
“I don’t know how you put up with me,” Veronica teased. “We can do pool,” she added knowing she wouldn’t have a chance playing darts against Kate. Not that she really cared if she won or not, but still.
Just as they were heading over to the pool table two guys approached. “You come here often?” the first guy asked Veronica clearly slurring his words.
Ugh, Veronica so wasn’t in the mood to deal with drunk idiots right now. “Yeah…. No.”
Kate rolled her eyes, without turning to give the drunk guys the time of day. “Wow. Do guys actually use that line?” She asked Veronica, cold-shouldering the drunk frat boys. “What a walking cliche.”
“Hey, come on, now… you don’t even know me,” the first guy said. His eyes were half-lidded and he had pit stains. Pit stains. He was carrying a half-empty pint glass, and Kate assumed it wasn’t his first. The other guy looked just as bad, if not worse.
“Give us a chance,” the second guy said, stumbling as he followed the girls. “We know how to rock your world, baby.”
“My world’s already plenty rocked. Thanks.” Veronica said with her own eyeroll. Turning her attention back to Kate. “Apparently guys really talk like that.” What was with her and getting hit on with the worst pick up lines ever? Guys seemed to just be getting more and more cheesy the older she got.
“It’s really hard to believe.” Kate agreed, frowning at the guys. She didn’t take her eyes off of them as she went on with her threat. “C’mon, Veronica. We’ve got pool to shoot. Maybe they’ll leave us alone when we’ve got large wooden sticks in our hands.”
The guys seemed to pick up on that, finally, and drunkenly stumbled off to bother some other women in the pub.
Thank god that was over with. Veronica was getting tired of drunken idiots and their stupid lines. Thankfully these ones weren’t too pushy and left them alone.
“Alright,” Veronica said once the guys finally walked away. “Now that that’s over with let’s play some pool.”
