Glitz and glamor donned the walls of the high end strip joint. The lights flashed all around and lit the place up as music blared from the speakers. The bar was packed and man crowded around the stage where the main performer of the joint was about to begin her show.

Among the men at the bar sat one Logan Wolverine. He knocked his head back and downed the last few drops left in the beer. As the drops chased one another down his throat he turned towards the stage deciding to let the entertainment entertain him. He wasn't usually one for the shows at the joints he got his beers from but tonight was different it was special. It was Marie's birthday and he was missing it. He needed to forget.

"Happy Birthday!" several girls chorused a few minutes before their curtain call was on. The girl at the center smiled her appreciation and blew out the flickering candles. She didn't even get to cut a slice from the simple cake before Brett kicked the door open and ordered them all on stage.

As they all let their robes fall and reveal their 'funner' outfits they traveled towards the stage. The birthday girl was the last girl to go on since she was the main performer. Take it off by Ke$ha began and she waited she waited as the odd technology enhanced voice sang, she waited as the music played, and finally she stepped out as Ke$ha began the true lyrics. Guys hollered and cheered as she entered center stage. Her outfit was showy as always but just enough for them to throw in the hundred to go to the back.

Logan stared as he watched the girl who he would say was no more than 18. The dancer looked so familiar he'd bet an ice cold beer he'd met her somewhere before, and you don't bet ice cold beers. She wore little to nothing and the outfit gave him…issues. The other girls were good and they were sure to be worth the fifty or so the owner named their price at. However he could see why she cost a steep price.

The song ended and the girls bowed. The ones on the outside stepped onto the normal floor and were taken off by a few men. They slipped the payment into a carrier and then curtains were drawn and floorboards began to squeak. Logan checked his wallet to see how much cash he had on him. As he was scanning through, a picture of his Marie fell from its place. He picked it up to put it away and as he did he suddenly knew who the girl was. He looked to the stage and saw she had her hair curled from its normally straight state. Her chest looked um bigger, but that dancing no that couldn't be his little Marie.

AN: I hope you like chapter one I'd love some reviews.
