Written for my own amusement and to express things that I can put nowhere else.

This is going to be a series of stories with no relation to each other. They'll be based of quotes or song lyrics. If you put a quote in a PM or review, I might use it later on. I don't know yet.

Summary: The reason why Skull shouldn't be allowed to drink and why Luce is scary when pregnant. It's all Colonnello's fault.

Warning: Slight Colonnello bashing, but only by Mamabear!Luce. I do love him.

Recommended song: Sunday Morning After by Amanda Marshall

Quote: "What happened last night?" – The Hangover

/

"Where is he?" Luce passed nervously across the kitchen, one hand gently rubbing her swollen stomach as she walked. Worry lines creased her face. Colonnello rolled his eyes from where he sat perched on the counter.

"Don't worry so much. He probably just fell asleep somewhere. He'll be fine." He told her. Those words hadn't even been out for a whole second before Luce swirled to face him, fire practically shooting out of her mouth. Despite his status, the blonde shrunk back a little. Luce was a scary mama bear when pregnant.

"Fine? Fine? Don't tell me that he's probably fine! You're the reason he's gone in the first place! What were you even thinking when, - Oh, that's right. You weren't!" She hissed, completely unlike her usually self. Colonnello averted his eyes.

"Luce, I really do believe you should calm down. Getting angry will do nothing to help our situation." Fon said, wisely keeping a large distance between himself and Luce. "We do not even know if he is hurt." He carefully side stepped the plate thrown at his head.

"Don't tell me to be calm! I-" A catchy jingle cut her off, chiming bells seeming out of place for the tense atmosphere. Luce immediately got out her phone, staring at the screen. Skull it read in pixilated text. Both Colonnello and Fon kept quiet. Luce quickly tapped the answer button, then speaker.

"Where are you?" She asked, not bothering for a greeting.

"Uh, hang on," Skull's voice echoed from the phone. There was a mumbled conversation before he came back. "About five miles outside of Tokyo."

Colonnello perked up.

"That's an hour away from where we were. How did you even get that far without a car?"

Skull's voice held a new tone of anger at the gunman's voice.

"Is that Colonnello-sempai? I really hate you right now, just so you know. This is all your fault. Last time I let you take me anywhere."

Luce sighted.

"Skull, honey, just tell us where you are specifically so we can get you and have you tell us where you ran off too last night."

There was a small silence on the other end of the line. No one spoke for a moment.

"Skull?"

"About that…I don't really know." There was another pause. "Well, no, I'm aware of where I am now but…"

"What are you getting at here? That you didn't know where you were last night?" Luce's brows furrowed again, worry etched on her face once more.

"Pretty much. I had kind of been hoping you could fill me in on that."

Colonnello shrugged from atop the counter.

"At least we know he had a great time." He said. Fon glanced over to him.

"How did you come to that conclusion?" Colonnello looked at Fon as if he were stupid.

"Because," he said. "Everyone knows whenever you have a good time drinking, you never remember it. I can tell you so many amazing things I've been told I did I don't remember doing." The blonde gave a sharp laugh. Luce glared at him, effectively keeping him quiet.

"Do you have even the slightest idea where you were?" She asked. "Do you have any receipts or a hospital wrist band?

"No hospital band, but I can tell you what's on me now. The first thing I did when I woke up was check my pockets. And see why my shoulder was hurting."

"Why would your shoulder be in pain? Did your injure it?" Luce asked, worry laced with her voice. She started at the phone as if it would magically give her the answer.

"Sort of," Skull sounded as if he didn't really want to speak. "I can officially say I've gotten my first tattoo now."

"Tattoo?" Luce sounded scandalized. Fon put a hand on her shoulder, but it was smacked away.

"Yeah, well, I'm sort of glad I don't remember getting it. Anyway, we can talk about this later." He hastily spoke, not so subtly changing the subject.

"No, I think we should talk about this now." Colonnello piped up unexpectedly. "I would love to hear about what sort of tattoo you got. Come on, tell us." He sniggered.

"Shut up. I'm not in the mood to put up with you right now, sempai. My head is killing me. I really just want this as quick as possible."

"Go on," Fon urged.

"Let me think for a second. Um, I was missing my shirt for one thing-"

"Did you wake up alone this morning?" Luce cut him off. The other two occupants of the room sputtered in response, as did Skull.

"Yes. No! Sort of. I mean, w-we weren't in the same bed or anything. A-and we had clothes. But we were in the same room… apartment...place. He…He's helping me, okay? Ugh. This isn't working out so well…"

An awkward silence filled the room as both Fon and Colonnello stared in shock and horror at Luce.

A beat passed.

"Let's…let's move on already."

"Yes, let's." Fon agreed slowly, coming out of his shock. He gave Luce a weird look, something she easily ignored.

"So, um, no shirt. I had about six different phone numbers in my pocket but…"

"I do believe that would make you what children call now a days, how you say, a player." Fon said, voice deadpan and face completely blank.

Colonnello looked like he was holding in laughter at Luce's horrified face.

"No! I-It's not like that. It was all guys' numbers!" There was another pause. "Wait, that didn't come out right."

Colonnello had fallen off the counter at this point, face red with laughter. He rolled around on the floor clutching his stomach. Tears were streaming down his face.

"I…I can't breathe!" He howled.

Luce seemed just about ready to have a heart attack at this point. Fon stared at the wall, mind unable to comprehend everything at once.

"Anyway!" Skull's voice screamed from the phone over Colonnello laughter. He sounded mortified. "I have a bunch of keys, but I don't know what they go to. Oh, yeah, I also had a bottle of syrup for some reason. I don't know why, but I used it on this western food called pancakes for breakfast."

"Was it good?" Colonnello asked between chuckles, curiosity getting the better of him. His laughter had died down slightly, but he still was on the floor.

"It was delicious actually."

"Get back on subject." Luce commanded, face stained with an angry blush. It seemed like she had trouble speaking. "And, Colonnello, if you speak again I will stab you in the face with a fork." She fingered the silverware drawer. Colonnello wisely kept his mouth shut.

"Sorry. I called some people that might've seen me last night before I called you 'cause I actually wanted to know where I had been. And I knew Colonnello-sempai probably wouldn't tell me."

Fon shook his head in an attempt to clear it.

"What person would you know that would've seen you that late at nights?" He asked slowly."No one besides Colonnello was with you and he lost you a few hours in. Not that he was doing much looking." Colonnello averted his eyes.

"Look, I know a lot of people, okay? They work all over, mostly in the underground, so they'd be out at night anyway. But that's beside the point. I was still at the bar at eleven o'clock, so I was with Colonnello for at least half the night. Unfortunately, I wasn't seen again until about five in the morning where I met…someone who let me pass out at their house and made sure I wasn't mugged or anything. But that still leave a really big gap." He trailed off, not sure what to say.

"Do you remember anything at all? Even something really small, like a clock or sign?" Fon questioned.

"Not really. The last thing I remember is thinking that it was really boring and I needed to have some fun. Really vague, I know."

Luce collapsed onto a chair, rubbing her face tired manner. She shook her head.

"You know what? I really can't do this right now. We can talk about this when you get home." She sighed. "Just text us your address and we'll pick you up, okay?"

"M'kay."

"And Skull?"

"Yes?"

"Please, please don't move from where you are. I can't handle you disappearing right now. And you're never allowed to go anywhere with Colonnello again. Or drink."

"Don't worry. I'm not planning on it. Later."

Click.

"Come on, Fon." She muttered, standing up wobbly. "I'll drive first." Fon nodded in agreement.

"What about me?" Colonnello asked, sitting up straighter.

"What about you?" Luce snarled at him. Colonnello took a few steps back before he could stop himself, raising his hands in defense. Hell hath no fury like a bear whose cub was hurt.

"Let's go," She told Fon, more calm now. "We've got a long drive ahead of us."

"We certainly do."

"Oh my God! Guys come here! Look what I found on E-bay!"

"Is…Is that my shirt?"

"Yes. You wanna buy it? One of your earrings is here too."

"No, I really don't want it back. I have no idea where that's been."

"How did they even…"

"Now I really want to know what happened."

"Honestly, I think it's better that we don't."

You can really tell where I only half attempted. Oh well. Whatever.
