Monday, 1/25/16, 12:45am at Ono nightclub…
Lovin Every Minute Of It by Loverboy blared from the loudspeakers, Amanda climbing up on a table after a few drinks and started dancing to it.
"Alright, get down from there before you break your neck!" Finn says, pulling Amanda off of the table and hanging onto her. "Where are Dean and Roman?" He asks.
"Over there…" Amanda says, motioning to where Dean and Roman were and Finn hearing the two yelling at each other. "Yeah, they've been squabbling a lot as of late so instead of dealing with it back at the hotel during the afterparty… I snuck over here." She says, absentmindedly readjusting the long net sleeves sleeves of her fuschia leopard print mini dress.
She almost didn't look recognisable to Finn so he assumed that Amanda had borrowed the dress from Sasha, considering that Amanda was smaller than Sasha and the material didn't fit her frame properly… seeing some questioning stares from co-workers as well as fans, Finn thought quickly and pulled his leather jacket off, putting it on Amanda and taking her outside.
"Hey, why did you take me out of there? I was having fun." Amanda says after Finn put her in the passenger seat of the Altima and looked at her eyes, which were glazed slightly.
"How much did you drink, lass?" Finn asks.
"Just… two glasses of wine. I feel weird." Amanda says, Finn knowing what it was.
He helped buckle Amanda up, closed the door and ran to the driver's side, getting in and slamming the door, buckling up and immediately taking Amanda to the nearest ER, ignoring the shouting from Dean and Roman as they ran towards them and after the car.
"Balor, get back here with our Shield sister!" Dean yelled in his drunken and enraged state, him and Roman stopping.
"Let's just get to the car, do you remember the address of his place?" Roman says as they headed to the rented Chevy Equinox.
"I think Becky told me it once but now I can't remember… hell, I don't even remember when we started drinking tonight." Dean says, Roman hailing a cab and the two getting in the back.
Little did they know that this wasn't what they assumed it was…
Present time…
Amanda's eyes felt heavy as she tried to open them, her arms and legs not cooperating so well either… but when she did open her eyes, she found the borrowed dress nearby and folded up and herself wearing a Balor Club shirt as Finn walked upstairs into the room.
It was blurry but she pieced her memory together… the fighting between Dean and Roman that drove her to go partying, the drinking, Finn showing up and taking her outside and to the nearest hospital when he realised something was wrong.
"They're gonna be pissed… I feel damn stupid." Amanda says, Finn pulling her into his arms and the two hugging.
"It's not your fault someone drugged you, Mandy. Don't beat yourself up over it." Finn says, his right hand rubbing up and down her back.
It was when both had let go that the front door was kicked open downstairs and they heard Becky, Dean and Roman.
"Aw, fuck." Amanda muttered.
"Guys, don't do anything to him!" Becky says, Dean and Roman not listening… before all three heard a low humming sound but weren't sure where it was originating from.
"Something ain't right with how she was acting last night, Becky!" Dean says.
"And what are you implying, that he drugged Mandy?! He wouldn't do that!" Becky says angrily, Roman looking outside and his eyes narrowing at to him what looked like a strange box.
"Roman, what the hell do you see?" Dean asks, following Roman outside.
The doors to it opened… and Dean and Roman looked at each other before turning back to the man with hair that was a mix of blonde and grey.
"Hello…" Roman says.
"Oh damn… last time I was here, this was completely different." The man says.
"And when was that?" Dean asks, a bit confused.
"1974… what year is it now?" The man says.
"2016. And we were trying to find our friend. Who are you?" Dean says.
"The Doctor… and is your friend a tiny and clearly angry brunette in an oversized shirt and pants?" The Doctor says, Dean and Roman turning and seeing Amanda with her arms crossed and yoga pants on under the shirt.
"Did one of you two lose your phones or your damn minds?!" Amanda asks, pointing to the door that was barely on its hinges.
The Doctor looked closer at her, sensing some familiarity… and immediately, he recognised her eyes.
"The little girl in the snow with a skinned up knee…" The Doctor says, startling Amanda.
"That was about… 19 years ago." Amanda says, her arms resting at her sides.
"Yes… and a man with a bowtie and a long fur coat helped you, remember?" The Doctor says.
"Yes… I never saw him again after that." Amanda says.
"You have now, my dear." The Doctor says.
The two hugged, Amanda still trembling from the effects of the drugs in her drink last night.
"It's been a damn long time… sorry about the shaking, I'm not feeling all that great this morning." Amanda says after they let go and all four walked into the apartment.
"Dean, I just had this fixed up after Sami used his head as a battering ram too!" Finn says after managing to close the door.
"We didn't know where you were taking Mandy!" Dean says.
"So what exactly happened?" The Doctor asks.
"These two started a damn fight at the Royal Rumble after party so I took off to a nightclub to try to enjoy some time away from their bickering." Amanda says, gesturing to Dean and Roman.
"And when I couldn't find her, I damn near lost my mind." Finn says.
"And when she wasn't at the hotel room, we got worried." Roman says, his phone ringing and him answering it. "We found her… no, you don't need to go flying all the way from Davenport, you loon. She's mostly okay." He says, Amanda rolling her eyes as she knew it was Seth.
"Define mostly okay. Something clearly happened." Seth says once he was on speakerphone.
"Mandy was drugged." Dean says, his eyes narrowed at Finn.
"You're out of your damn mind, Ambrose! Accusing me, why would I drug Mandy?!" Finn says, turning angry and Becky and Amanda having to calm him down.
"Seth, don't listen to Dean, he's just being a dickhead because I called him and Roman out on their drunken bickering!" Amanda says.
"Mandy, watch your language! Dean, Roman, try not to drive her mad!" Seth says.
Amanda heard a slight humming sound and saw the Doctor fixing the door with the sonic.
"Thanks for… fixing that." Finn says.
"How the hell…" Roman tries to ask.
"It's a sonic screwdriver." The Doctor says, holding up the tool with it's black on yellow spirals, downwards moving top half and bullet shaped emitter in a red ring at the top.
Amanda saw a text on her phone from Sami.
'Where are you?!'
'At Finn's apartment… Sami, I got drugged last night.' Amanda replied.
'Damn, you too?! Several of us were drugged!' Sami replied.
"For fuck's sake!" Amanda says angrily, startling Seth.
"Watch your mouth before I fly over there and wash it out with soap!" Seth says.
"Several of us were drugged, I'll curse like a sailor if I want to!" Amanda says, Finn lightly rubbing her shoulders.
"This normal for them to fight?" The Doctor asks after turning to Roman.
"When we were overseas in November, things went a bit haywire when Seth caught Finn and Mandy in a truth or dare contest where she dared Finn to do body shots off of her." Roman says, the Doctor laughing.
"Yeah… we got a bit too crazy." Amanda says.
"Oh, you youthful ones. You never ceased to amaze me." The Doctor says.
"Even if they won't admit it, there's something that draws them to each other. And… sorry about accusing you of drugging her." Dean says, him and Finn shaking hands.
