Author's Note: There are no Rookie Blue Vegas stories and I think Vegas stories are just great, so I decided to start one. This is the lead in chapter and things will heat up from next chapter.
As a Rookie Blue fan I have a problem, I have seen the extended promo for The First Day of the Rest of Your Life and read the description of the episode and it does not make me happy to hear Sam and Andy are already in romantic trouble by the sounds of things. I want it to work out between them and May 24th cannot come quick enough.
Freedom-In-Fantasy
"Vegas baby." Jerry crowed as the plane hit the runway. He then leaned over and thoroughly kissed his fiancée. Traci giggled & leaned into the kiss.
"Get a room." Sam groaned from across the aisle, trying to whack Jerry with a cushion, but only getting as far as Andy who was sitting next to him. Andy giggled at her friends, then she & Traci resumed their conversation while Sam & Jerry exchanged eye rolls behind the girl's heads.
When they passed the casinos Dov and Chris started discussing what type of gambling they would make the most money in and the different merits of such games as poker, slots and roulette. Andy poked Sam "are you going to take all the Casino's money in poker?" Jerry heard & chuckled, "Sammy's not that lucky." Sam threw his friend a dirty look. "Well I won't be loosing money, unlike same people." Here he gave Jerry a pointed look.
"Well us girls are going to be dancing and drinking up a storm tonight, and as I know you men won't want us finding someone younger, hotter and richer, I suggest you don't worry about gambling because if you don't come with us, you could be gambling away your future happiness." Gail & Sue laughed at the look on their boyfriend's faces, a more mature Oliver and Frank choose to ignore the comment and Traci leaned back in satisfaction as Jerry glared at her. But Traci ignored all this and focused on Sam. "Not a problem for me." He smirked. "Well you can keep Andy company in singleville then." Traci said, trying to maintain a poker face but feeling it weakening slightly under Andy's glare and Jerry's suspicious look.
When they got to the hotel, the next part of Traci's plan feel into place. "Hi, the Nash-Barber party." Said Traci to the receptionist. The receptionist tapped something on her keyboard, then grabbed some key cards and handed them to Traci. "You have rooms 1301 to 1306." Traci handed 1301 to Chris and Gail, 1302 to Dov and Sue, 1303 to Noelle and Frank, 1304 to Oliver and Zoe, 1305 to Andy, which left one more 1305 card and 2 for 1306. Eyes twinkling, she handed the other 1305 card to Sam and gave 1306 to herself and Jerry. If she and Jerry weren't entertaining themselves that night, she would be sticking a glass to the wall and hearing if anything popcorn worthy was going on in 1305.
As they reached their rooms, Traci grabbed the girls to discuss what time to meet, resulting in the boys going into the rooms first. This meant Andy and Sam didn't know they were sharing a room till Andy walked into the room to see a half naked Sam changing out his flight clothes. "Sam what are you doing here?" Andy cried out in surprise. "This is my room McNally, "he answered, and then pulling a shirt over his head, he asked "what are you doing here?"
"This is my room, it said so on the key card. You must be next door."
"Jerry's on one side and Oliver is on the other, so I can't be." Sam said drily.
A sudden threat Traci had made about locking Sam and Andy in a bedroom sprang to Andy's mind. "Look this isn't getting us anywhere." Andy said. "Lets look at the key cards." So Sam fished his card out of pocket and sure enough, they both said 1305.
"So," Sam said slowly. "Shall we go see the almost wed or reception?"
"Reception." Andy said firmly.
Without the weight of a heavy suitcase, Andy got to enjoy the reception area much more this time. The gold status, white leather couches, the extraordinary tidiness and the distinct air of 'holiday' these places always seemed to have. She glanced over to Sam who was leaning heavily on the white and gold reception desk, glaring at the receptionist with his best glare that he usually only reserved for criminals. Andy saw the receptionist shake her head nervously as she avoided looking at Sam. Sam gave one last sharp remark before stomping over to Andy.
"So?" Andy asked.
"Nothing." Sam growled. "I quote, it's nearly Valentine's Day Mr Swarek so I'm afraid we are very busy this weekend. I apologise for the hotel's mistake but I'm afraid we have no room left and I hope you will be able to make do with your accommodation and not destroy the weekend for the bride and groom." The sappy bitch couldn't even spare a bed. I thought places like this were supposed to please the customer. I sure as hell won't be recommending this place to anyone." Sam said the last sentence loud enough so everyone around them could hear.
Embarrassed, Andy lead Sam back to the elevator. Inside she bumped her hip against his in a friendly way. "Come on, it can't be that bad sharing a room with me?"
Sam let his frown go. "I'm fine sharing a room with you McNally, it's your snoring I'm worried about."
Andy mimed slapping him.
Once back in their room, Sam offered to take the couch but Andy refused saying "we're both adults, we can cope." But both secretly ordered if they could cope at such a close proximity. They spent the rest of the afternoon discussing what they'd heard about Vegas and what they wanted to see and do. Andy wanted to see Paris Las Vegas and cirque du soleil. Sam wanted to try out as many Casino's as possible. But they were both keen to try as much of the Vegas experience as possible. Then things started to get awkward again when it was time to get ready to go out with only 1 shower and limited privacy to get changed. But they managed.
They were the first to reach the restaurant overlooking the massive fountain outside the Bellagio. Of course then the topic had to come up of why no one else was on time, which led to innuendo, which led to silence, which led to them both staring out at the golden glowing fountain. Finally everyone arrived and dinner was started. After fancy seafood and decadent desserts, Traci suggested they hit the strips nightlife to a huge approval.
