Just a little twoshot what came to me while watching an old Neighbors' episode :) Enjoy :)X

Joey and Adam were rushed off their feet. R&R had gotten suspiciously busy, busier than what Sharon had told them earlier in the day. The loud music beginning to give Joey a headache.

'Wheres Sharon tonight?' shouted Adam, as he served a customer. Joey shrugged his shoulders, indicating he didn't know as cleared the glasses away. Joey sighed and looked round, making sure that everyone was behaving and that no fights were about to start. He smiled politely at the guy who appeared and ordered a drink. He poured the beer and accepted the money, thanking him as he handed the change back. Joey took a long drink of his water, quenching his thirst, before going back to his job, after slyly checking his phone for any messages...

Two hours later, Joey was ready to drop. He didn't know how long he had worked for, but it seemed like a lifetime. Adam motioned for the beer barrel to changed. Joey nodded and headed down to the cellar. He opened the door and stepped inside, proceeding to change the barrel. After Joey changed it, he walked back up the stairs and headed back to the bar, only for a hand to shoot out in front of him and yank him by the shirt into the office.

'Whoa!' he shouted in surprised. For a fleeting second, he thought it was Sharon wanting a word with him, but that thought vanished when he felt lips on his, rough and fast. He felt the sparks, just as strong as the day he had met her. His hands tangled her long, brown hair, knotting together and pulling her hair, not too harsh but not gentle either. He groaned and pushed her quite roughly on to the desk. Files and folders fell to the floor, as Joey bunched her dress up. The girl moaned as he left a trail of fire in his wake as he assaulted her neck and jaw. Joey felt his shirt been unbuttoned and thrown to the floor and had a good idea of how far this was going to go, making him excited even more. He felt her hands working at his belt and trousers. Soon, they became a hot mess, both groaning as they came.

'Well, I think I prefered that hello... to the quick kiss hello, this morning' said Joey, fixing his trousers and buttoning up his shirt. Lauren smiled and sorted her white, thin strapped bodycon dress out. As Joey finished buttoning up his shirt, Lauren pulled out a piece of paper and waved it in front of his face.

'What's this?' she singsonged. Joey's eyes widened as he realised what she had found.

'Where did you find that?' he asked, as he lunged for it, but Lauren held it out of reach, climbing up on to the desk.

'Lauren, get down. Before you hurt yourself in those heels!' he exclaimed. Lauren shook her head.

'Possible Places To Have Sex?' she read out. Joey cringed, but Lauren found it funny

'I was drunk, babe. When I wrote it!' Joey defended himself. He wrapped his arms round Lauren and lifted her off the desk, placing her feet on the floor. Lauren looked at him, before turning and grabbing a pen. He watched as she crossed R&R Office off the list.

'Babe, what are you doing?' he asked, slightly surprised

'You like challenges don't you, Joseph?' she asked innocently. Joey eyes widened as he realised what she meant. She handed him the piece of paper.

'If you think of anymore, add them and show me later' she said, pressing a rough kiss to his lips. Joey tucked the piece of paper into the pocket of his trousers and wrapped his arms round Lauren, feeling the heel of her shoe rub up and down his leg. He groaned and kissed her harder. He felt her hands wrap around his waist as he sat her back on the desk, deepening the kiss, just as the door opened.

'OI! BARMAN! Get your ass out here!' ordered Adam, smirking as the pair jumped apart. They left the room and Joey watched as Lauren went back to Lucy and the gang, sat at a table...

A few hours later, the club was still in full swing and Adam had told Joey to take a break, so Joey had joined Lauren with gang, one certain blonde haired member giving him the evils, at his interaction with Lauren. Joey and Lauren wandered off on to the dance floor together, to dance. Lucy narrowed her eyes them and turned to Tyler and Whitney.

'Can't believe they're actually at it. Its disgusting' said Lucy. Whitney and Tyler were too involved in each other to be paying attention to Lucy, so they ignored her. Lucy sighed and looked at Poppy and Fatboy, rolling her eyes as she watched them kiss. Lucy sighed and drank the last of her drink.

'So, what do you want to do when we leave?' asked Joey, his lips at Lauren's ear. Lauren smirked

'Tick some more off that list of yours' said Lauren. Joey pulled her flush against him and Lauren gasped in pleasure and giggled. Joey kissed her neck, before heading to the bar to order them a drink. He watched as Lauren climbed on to the stage to where the DJ was playing the tunes. He watched as she flicked through some records, searching for one to play in the club...

An hour later, Max and Kirsty were in the Vic having a drink. Things had changed after Tanya disappeared. He and Kirsty had gotten closer, but Max had put his relationship with Lauren and Abi on dangerous thin ice. Lauren had practically moved out, as she spend most nights at Joeys, and Abi just blanked him. Max sighed as Abi walked in Jay and sat at a table with Jay from across the pub, avoiding eye contact.

'Things will get better, Max. I promise' said Kirsty. Max looked at her and smiled lightly, nodding. Just then, the pub fell silent as Lucy and Tamwar rushed into the bar, coughing and gasping for breath.

'R&R! It's on fire!' shouted Lucy, as she clutched her throat. There was a flurry of movements as most residents pushed past the two and out on to the market, where smoke was billowing from R&R.

'LAUREN! LAUREN!' screamed Max

'JOEY! JOEY! LAUREN!' screamed Alice, as she rushed forward. Max grabbed her and prevented her from going any further, not wanting a member of his family hurt. They heard sirens in the distance and then swerve round the corner, coming into view...

Tyler coughed as he woke up. He groaned and pressed a hand to his head, feeling blood. He coughed again and looked round. Its seemed as if the explosion had come from the office, as smoke was billowing through the doors. He looked round and saw half of the building caved in. That's when a thought struck him.

'WHIT! WHITNEY!' he shouted. He saw her helping Poppy with Fats. He made his way over to them.

'Whit! get out now! I've got her' he shouted, as he and Fatboy got Poppy out of the wreckage. Whitney shook her head.

'No, I'm not leaving you!'

'WHITNEY! GO! THAT'S AN ORDER!' Tyler screamed. Whitney looked at him, before leading the way. Tyler froze when he heard another voice. Someone else was trapped. He made sure Whitney was focused on getting out, before handing Poppy to Fatboy, who gave him a questioning look. Tyler motioned at him to go up the stairs, giving Whitney the impression he was at the back. As he watched them disappear round the staircase, Tyler closed his eyes and breathed deeply.

'I Love You, Whit' he whispered, before heading back into the wreckage, to help people out...

'TYLER! TYLER!' screamed Whitney, struggling in Fatboys grip. Bianca came rushing forward, her hair in rollers and dressed in her track suit, gathering her up in her arms.

'Whitney! thank god, your okay!' Bianca fretted. Whitney was too busy crying to do anything else, except cling to Bianca like a lifeline. Meanwhile, Alice was freaking out. She was terrified that Joey and Lauren were seriously hurt.

'Max... I already lost my Dad, I can't lose anyone else' she cried. Max squeezed her shoulder in reassurance, and almost trying to convince himself. Alice could feel the fear creeping through her veins. She couldn't stand the thought of arranging another funeral or two. Max turned to see if Kirsty was okay, and Alice took her chance. She ducked under the tape and bolted for R&R.

'ALICE!' screamed Jack and Max. They were powerless as the police made sure they didn't step out from behind the tape.

'Oh god. That's all we need!' said Max, running a hand over his head...

Meanwhile, back inside, Joey groaned as he came round. He opened his eyes and looked round, his mouth dropping open at the state of R&R . Memories started to come back to him and his head snapped towards the stage.

'LAUREN! LAUREN, CAN YOU HEAR ME?' he shouted. He used the bar to help him to his feet. He listened for a minute, to see whether Lauren replied.

'LAUREN!' he shouted again, straining his ears to listen. He began to head towards the stage when he spotted her. Her head was visible, her forehead having a deep cut on her forehead. He made his way over to her and sat next to her, trying to rouse her.

'Lauren? Lauren, please wake up! please, It's Joey' he pleaded. He waited a few seconds, before her eyebrows twitched and her eyes slowly flickered open.

'Joey?' she mumbled.

'Babe, I'm here... I'm here' he said, caressing her face. Lauren smiled at him, their eyes locking together, until a voice almost made Joeys heart stop dead.

'JOEY!' shouted Alice, as she spotted her brother. Joey's eyes widened.

'ALICE! GET OUT OF HERE NOW!' screamed Joey, turning towards his younger sister. Alice and JOey locked eyes for a minute, before Joey felt rumbling near him.

'ALICE! GET OUT!'

'NO I DON'T WANT-'

'ALICE, LEAVE RIGHT NOW!'. Alice was about to move, when Tyler crashed into her side, just as the entrance to R&R caved in. Tyler protected Alice's body with his own, grunting in pain as the bricks hit his back. Joey couldn't move. He couldn't lose his sister. Not Alice. He was debating whether or not to go and check on her and Tyler, when Lauren groaned in pain and coughed. He cast one last look at when Alice was and turned back to Lauren.

'Babe? You okay?' he asked, noting that she was a little pale. Lauren nodded and licked her lips slightly.

'Listen, go help Alice, and get help!' she said. Joey shook his head.

'I'm not leaving you, baby' he said, resting his forehead against hers. Lauren pressed a light kiss to his lips.

'Joey, go and help your sister. She's your family' said Lauren. Joey raised an eyebrow

'Babe, despite our circumstance, your my part of my family as well' he said. Lauren rolled her eyes playfully and sighed.

'Joey... I'm serious! Go! Now!' she said. Joey looked into her eyes and sighed.

'Fine. But I'm coming back for you!' he warned. Lauren rolled her eyes at his stubbornness and nodded. He pressed a kiss to her forehead and headed over to Alice, who seemed to be in tears.

'Joey! help Tyler. I think he's hurt' cried Alice

'Alice! I'm not help- WHOA!' Joey was suddenly hauled backwards. It took him a second to realise it was fire bridage getting him out.

'NO! NO! My sister and my girlfriend are in there! My sister and my GIRLFRIEND ARE IN THERE!' he shouted, as he was hauled from the wreckage...

Max had Abi wrapped in his arms. Abi was sobbing heavily, while Cora comforted her daughter. Suddenly, they heard shouting and Joey emerged from the smoke.

'JOEY! JOEY!' shouted Max. Joey turned his head in Max direction, seeing all he needed to with his face expression. Joey was led to the ambulance, an oxygen mask handed to him and a blanket wrapped round him.

'You've got to Lauren and Alice... They're still in there!' said Joey. The paramedics looked at him and nodded, placing a hand on his shoulder.

'We'll do everything we can...' he said. Joey nodded and asked to go see Max. The paramedic nodded and allowed Joey to leave the ambulance. Joey walked up to Max, who wouldn't show any emotion. He let go of Abi and engulfed Joey into a hug. Joey tried to stop the tears from falling.

'Did you see Lauren?' Max whispered to him. He felt Joey nod against his shoulder and Max sighed. Just then, a explosion went off, throwing the residents to the floor. Joey and Max scrambled to their feet and surged forward, only to be forced back by the police, who started moving them further down the market.

'LAUREN! ALICE!' screamed Max and Joey, one of them starting to loose hope on whether they'll come out alive...
