Prompt: Anon: Golly. Cute meet. Gail's purse is snatched (prank) by chris or dov and holly comes to the rescue. Thanks!


"Jack and Coke, double!" Gail hollers at the grumpy bald bartender as he walks by. She sits back down on the bar stool after he shrugs in confirmation. Chris and Dov are chatting and drinking at a table across the room from Gail's back. Dov notices Gail and pokes Chris' arm.

"Chris, look who's at the bar!"

Chris looks over at Gail's direction and asks, "And?"

"Let's do something. Let's pull a prank on her."

"Are you sure? I'm not sure we can pull it off. She's a Peck."

"Exactly my point. We can pull it off and proves that Peck isn't everything."

Chris swallows a good amount of beer from his glass and mumbles, "I don't know…"

Dov grabs Chris' shoulder and exclaims, "Come on! All you got to do is go up and talk to her. Distract her with your cute boy face. I'll sneak up behind and take her purse off the stool. She's not even touching it."

"Well…"

"What can happen? If we fail, she will just get pissy and we have to buy her some shots. If we succeed then we can brag we pulled one over a Peck!"

Dov stands up and pulls Chris up with him. They sneak closer to Gail and Dov pushes Chris to the space next to Gail. Chris stumbles and Gail looks at him curiously. Chris puts on his best smile without being too obvious.

"Hey Gail, how is it going?"

Gail remains silent and raises one eyebrow in disdain.

Chris swallows air and stutters, "Enjoying your-uh-Friday night?"

Gail sigh and replies, "Not at the moment. I was feeding myself some liquid courage to go around and try talk to that brunette with glasses. She's like a sexy librarian. Who knew that's my thing?"

Chris subtly looks over at the brunette in question and smirks, "She's hot. So.. Does that mean you're gay now?"

Dov walks slowly and consciously reaches for Gail's purse.

Gail rolls her eyes, "After seeing Frankie and me making out in the parking lot a year ago, shouldn't that be obvious?"

The purse strap slips over the edge of the back of the stool and Dov casually walk backward to the table.

Mission accomplished, Dov thinks to himself.

Chris raises his hands in surrender. "Hey, I don't know much about other sexual orientations or identities. I'm just wondering and I want to know you better I guess."

Gail scowls, "You know what-"

"I got you, bastard. I'm putting you under citizen's arrest!"

Both Chris and Gail look over to see Dov and his arm being put in hold behind his back by the brunette Gail has been drooling over. Gail's purse is dropped by Dov and the brunette asks, "Is that purse yours? I saw him take it from your chair. One of you should call police."

Dov moans, "But I'm a cop! Guys, tell her you know me!"

Chris is about to say something, but Gail puts her hand on his chest and pulls out her cellphone to call the police.

"Hello, I want to report an attempt robbery. This fool tried to take my purse but a lovely lady got him and put him under citizen's arrest. Yes. Black Penny's. You got it. Thanks."

Gail hangs up her phone and slickly puts back in her pocket, then struts toward her so called savior.

"Thanks for saving my purse. Why don't you let this man-boy hold the asshole, so I can buy you a thank-you drink?"

The brunette gives her a lopsided smirk. She releases Dov to Chris' custody and joins Gail.

"Sure. I'm Holly by the way."

"I'm Gail."

They walk off in their own bubble, and Dov complains, "Why does she has to be mean? I could seriously get in trouble for this."

Chris shrugs. "Should've thought of that before you insist on doing a prank on a Peck."
