Kate was sat waiting for Mike in the bar near port. Hammersley had returned after a 10 day patrol several hours earlier and they had make plans to meet for a drink and a chat witch they couldn't easily do in the cramped conditions aboard the patrol boat. Looking at her watch he was over a hour late and hadn't even let her know why.

Knocker must be holding him up or something and he was too polite to say he had plans. He was always willing to help her but never me . she thought to her self downing her drink and considering that she may as well go home.

At that moment Nav and Bomber walked in and spotting that she was on her own decided to join her.

"want some company X" Nav smiled placing a bottle of wine on the table, and sitting next to her

"sure" she smiled at her friend. "I was suppose to be meeting Mike but he is late as usual"

Bomber sat down next to them pouring her self a glass of wine from the bottle. She looked around the bar. It was filled with the same people as normal. Nothing new or exciting happening.

"hey" she cried inspiration growing in her eyes "why don't we go to that new karaoke bar in town sound much more fun than this dump"

"I don't know" Kate replied "I was kind of meeting someone"

"and he is late as normal." Nav responded. "come on X don't wait around for him lets go have some fun"

"your right" Kate smiled "lets go" she downed the last of the drink Nav had poured her

As they headed out they walked in to Mike on his way in still in his whites clearly he had only just got away from what ever was holding him up at NAVCOM.

"X I thought we had plans" he called after her as they walked past him.

"plans change" she called over her shoulder

"where are you going Kate?"

"GIRLS NIGHT" bomber shouted over she shoulder

"X?" Mike looked at Kate. This wasn't like her

"As Bomber said girls night. I am going out with my friends, I am done with waiting around." She called

The bar had only been open a few weeks and was already proving popular, it was packed when they arrived but they managed to find a booth to them selves. It seemed that the music was on a theme night of the 1980's through to the early 2000's.

Bomber was the first to the bar and returned with their drinks along with a bottle of tequila.

"right anyone who talks about the ship or work or the navy has to take a shot"

"Bomber do I have to remind you that there is always a possibility of being crash..."

"SHOT" Nav cried laughing at Kate, Princess perfect of course she would be the one to bring up work.

Bomber held out the shot glass to Kate who took it reluctantly took it and downed it in one go, coughing as the clear liquid burnt the back of her throat. The other 2 laughed as she grimaced. Tequila was not her drink of choice.

About 5 shots in the alcohol was going to Kate's head and as she hadn't eaten it was worse. Nav and Bomber were also equally tipsy. After more shots mixed with their normal drinks Kate found her self on stage singing Cher's Shoop Shoop song with the other 2 as her backing singers. Collapsing back in their seats in fits of laughter.

"I think I want to go again" Kate laughed taking a sip of the drink in front of her.

"I don't think I am drunk enough for that" Bomber smiled downing another shot

"me neither" Nav grinned. It was unusual to see X like this she was normally reserved and the sensible one.

Kate found her self flicking through the song book trying to find the perfect song but one with lyrics she knew even though they did put them up on the screen. She stopped on the perfect one. ABBA's The Winner Takes It All. Somehow the lyrics meant something to her and said something about her relationship with Mike.

Later:

By the time the 3 of them left the club they were all drunk. Drunk with the Alcohol. Drunk on happiness and life.

Kate headed home alone. After several attempts to unlock her door she finial managed it, crashing through stubbing her bare feet on the dresser in the hall and falling in a heap of giggles on the sofa. Her high soon faded and the cold reality of she was alone set in. Walking in to her bedroom she pulled out her phone she was going to tell Mike Flynn what she really thought of him.

"Crap voicemail" she muttered as he didn't answer. After the beep she went on a mad ramble. "Miiike why don't you love me" she whispered loudly on account in her mind it was late and she didn't want to disturb anyone."aaaaand iiiiiiiyi willll allllwaayyys loooooveeeeeeee youuuuuuuuuuu" she sang out of tune. Her tone changed after that. "why do you do everything for Knocker but not me. You always go running to her but you never do anything for me." Her voice turned to drunken sobs. "please say you love me, marry me..." she dropped her phone and started laughing as she scrabbled on the floor trying to find it. Cutting off the call in the process. Falling on to her bed she fell asleep snoring unaware of what she had done.

After leaving Kate, Nav and Bomber headed back towards Hammersley laughing arm in arm as they walked up the gangway.

"I need food" Bomber called heading towards the main part of the ship and towards the Galley.

Nav headed towards the front of the ship unaware that ET and Buffer were watching from the Bridge

"what is the Nav doing" ET called pointing the EOD at her.

"I don't know but go get her before she hurts her self" buffer called checking that the computers were still okay. ET smiled making sure he was stood far enough away so his presence wasn't noticed

Nav was stood right at the front of the ship with her arms out stretched and singing the theme from Titanic. Walking closer ET placed his hand on her back so she didn't fall.

"I'm flying Jack" she laughed and slipped in to ET's arms "I love you Josh Holiday" she looked up at him kissing him before falling asleep where she stood"

Lifting her up he carried her in to the ship and to her cabin. He placed her in her rack and made sure she wouldn't fall out or hurt herself.

At the same time Bomber was in the galley looking through the cupboards trying to find the instant noodles she had hidden, to satisfy the onset of her hangover. She had her headphones plugged in and her music playing loudly. As she was looking in the different cubby holes where she might have hidden things she was dancing along to the songs playing

"I LOVE this song" she shouted to no one. It was Bwitched cest la vie

Not noticing Buffer who had left the bridge to get a much needed coffee she began Irish Dancing along to the tune, or at least trying. Hiding in the door of the officers mess he pulled out his phone and began videoing Bombers moves. He would have a laugh teasing her with this gold dust. She carried on dancing with the next song that came on. This time she began singing along badly to it and dancing through the corridors of the ship. This one was solid gold. Shania Twain's Man I Feel Like a Woman. He watched her dance and spin all the way towards her cabin.

Back on the bridge ET was watching the footage he had recorded of Nav on the EOD wishing it had sound. Buffer sat back and watched his own footage of Bomber and smiled at her attempt of a music and dance career. Don't give up the day job he thought.
