A Midsummer's Night High
by: Serena-chan
A/N: This story, is the direct result of writing a five page English report on A
Midsummer's Night Dream while watching a taped episode of Will&Grace at 2 o'clock
in the morning. I realize the plot is silly, and it does get to be what some of my
friends would consider "raunchy" at one point. I appologize for this, but I posted it
anyway, as the show tends to get just as bad.
That being said, please r/r!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own any part of Will&Grace, and I'm not making any money
off this rediculous story.

"It would figure that our air conditioning would pick the hottest day of the year to
go out." Grace sat on the edge of the window at her and Karen's office, fanning
herself with a magazine.
"You listen to me, buddy," Karen said, speaking into the phone. "I don't care how
many other stops you have to make. You get over here and fix our air, or you'll be
scraping your brains off the side of that tacky truck you drive. . .hello? Hello?!"
Karen slammed the phone down and flopped into her chair, switching on her battery
powered fan. "Can you believe him?! Some people are so rude."
Grace groaned and went back over to her desk. "I can't stand this! We've got to get
these designs done by Friday, but it's so hot that my brains are too fried to do
anything."
"I know what you mean," Karen said. "I'm actually sweating, and I've paid thousands
of dollars in surgery making sure that doesn't happen."
"We've got to find some way to focus," Grace propped her head up with her hands.
"I swear, this day could not get any worse."
At that moment, Jack came bursting through the door. "I stand corrected," Grace
said, pulling out a file.
"Hey, Kare. Wanna go over to Will's office with me?"
"Oh, honey don't bother," Karen sighed. "That new lawyer you like took the week
off, remember?"
"I don't want to go over there to flirt," Jack said. "I'm going over there because
their A.C. actually works."
"Well, when you put it that way. . ."
"Karen, no," Grace cut her off. "We have way too much work to do. Jack, you go
on ahead, have fun. Karen and I have to finish this project. Well, I have to finish
this project anyway. I just wish the repair man would get here so I can stop feeling
so miserable."
"Hey, honey, I've got an idea," Karen said, perking up. "Pharmie, just sent me a
bottle of these new anti-depressants. We'll take a couple, and then we'll be so
happy we won't care about the heat."
"No thanks," Grace said, rolling her eyes. "I find I do my best work, when I'm
not stoned."
Karen opened the bottle. "Suit yourself. You want one, Jackie?"
"Sure," Jack took a couple of the pills and put them in his pocket. "I'm gonna wait
and take it with a cup of coffee at Will's office. The caffine usually gives it an
extra buzz. Bye!" Jack left, closing the door behind him.
Fixing herself a martini, Karen popped the pill into her mouth and frowned. It felt
strangly fizzy. Swallowing hard, a tingling sensation spread through her body, and
a hot haze settled over her face.
"Grace, honey, I think there may be something wrong with these. . ." Karen looked
up at Grace and her voice trailed off. Her blurred vision suddenly focused, and a
strange feeling welled up in her chest.
She watched the summer light hit Grace's hair, causing it to light up. Her small
white tank top was plastered to her body with sweat. Her face was drawn up,
trying to concentrate. A strange thought popped into Karen's head: She's
beautiful. She wondered why she'd never noticed it before.
Grace looked up, realizing that she was being stared at. "What?" she asked.
"Nothing, honey," Karen said, shaking her head. "You look real pretty today."
"No Karen, you cannot have the day off," Grace said returning to her work.
"What are you talking about?" Karen got out of her chair and went to sit on the
edge of the table Grace was working on. "Of course I don't want the day off. I'm
your assistant. So, why don't you let me assist you?"
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
"Oh yeah? Takes one to know one!" Jack screamed in return to some snide
comment one of the other lawyers had made. Rolling his eyes, he finished pouring
his coffee and headed towards Will's office.
Maybe he could get Will to take him to lunch. He was flat broke, again. Drat
Barneys for having that sale on tank tops!
Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out what little money he had left. One dollar
and seventy-eight cents. Sighing miserably, he realized that he'd also pulled out
one of the pills Karen had given him.
He smiled, repocketing the money. That would certainly improve his mood! Taking
a big gulp of coffee, he swallowed the pill, just as he walked into Will's office.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
"Karen, are you feeling alright?" Grace asked.
"Of course I am, honey," Karen said, hopping off the edge of the desk. "Why do
you think anything would be wrong? Touch me."
Grace's head snapped up. "What did you just say?!"
"Nothing. Are you sure you're okay? Why don't you go lie down for a bit."
Karen put a hand on Grace's shoulder.
"Okay, now you are just plain freaking me out!" Grace screamed, jerking away
from Karen. "What is wrong with you? Why are you being so nice?"
"I don't know." Karen said, looking thoughtful. "It just came over me all the
sudden."
Grace siddled around the other side of the table and walked over to Karen's
desk, distancing herself. "Maybe it was something you ate? No, you don't eat
solid foods." Grace's eyes fell on the pill bottle. "I'll bet it's these new pills
you've been taking. I think I'll confinscate them for now." Grace put the bottle
in her purse.
"Come on, honey! Be resonable!" Karen moved so that her face was just inches
away from Grace's.
"You know what," Grace said, panicking, "I could just as easily get this work done
back at my appartment." Backing away, she grabbed her stuff and bolted for the door.

A/N: I know it's not much yet, but what do you think? Yes, I plan to have all of them take the
pills at one point or another, and no, the pairings will not all be gay nor will the effects of the
pill be permanent. Here's my matches: Karen-Grace, Jack-Will, Will-Karen, Grace-Jack. r/r!
