I'm getting some positive reviews, so thanks for those! And I'm probably not gonna get this done by Christmas so I'll extend my deadline to New Year's Day, kay?

Oh, and there is some language in this chapter, and some references to sex, just warning you.

Disclaimer: I don't own Monster High.

Venus stirred from her deep sleep and tried to get out of bed, but fell back groaning slightly. She had a massive headache.

She looked at her robot friend. "Robecca, did we get extremely drunk last night?" she asked.

Robecca mumbled a yes.

"Oh my God!" groaned Venus. It was (another) hangover.

Memories of Fallen Rain came back to her- the punch that was really alcohol, the music, then afterwards nearly kissing Robecca …

"Oh my frickin' God!" she said again, massaging her head.

Just then the door opened and HooDude walked in, grinning sheepishly.

"Have fun last night, ladies?" he asked.

"Oh my fucking God!" Venus stormed out the room to go have a shower. She would have to wear yesterday's clothes that smelled of nightclub and vodka, but she didn't really care.

HooDude laughed.

Robecca sat up with a sigh.

"So," HooDude continued. "Get laid last night by any chance?" he asked, coming to sit beside her on the bed.

"HooDude!" she screeched. He chuckled.

"Just kidding, Becca." he said. "But you know, you'd be lucky if you were in bed with her. She's gorgeous."

"Wait until Scarah hears that." Robecca stood up unsteadily and HooDude grabbed her elbow.

"Don't even think of telling her I said that." he demanded as they walked down the stairs. Robecca kept quiet.

"You're thinking about it! Becca, you are thinking about it!" he yelled as she laughed at the expression on his face.

Meanwhile, about seven blocks down, Cupid was in a similar situation- except with less swearing and more coffee.

Her father had left a note saying he'd gone to get groceries so she was dressed and sitting on her own on the sofa, sipping coffee and trying to recall last night's events.

She turned her head towards the door, hearing the click of the lock. She narrowed her eyes.

Valentine burst in, singing Katy Purry in a loud voice.

"Last Frightday night, yeah we danced on table tops." he sang, swooping in like a bird.

"Valentine, just because you have a key to my house does not mean you are free to come and go as you please." she said.

"Good morning to you to, Chariclo." he said, feigning hurt.

"I may be hung-over, but I'm not hung-over enough to forget to remind you not to call me Chariclo." Cupid tried to snap, but it came out a bit feebly. She was getting used to it now.

"Want to go to Café Amore? My cousin runs it and they do a special discount for hung-over friends of the relatives of the owner." Valentine asked.

"No. Go away." she said, closing her eyes.

"You can have free coffee." he said, staring at her now empty mug.

"Deal." she agreed, standing up. "You're paying."

"Your wish is my command, sugar." he said, closing and locking the door behind him.

Robecca and HooDude sat at the breakfast table while Mrs Kindergrubber cooked bacon in the kitchen. Venus entered, drying her hair with a towel.

"Good morning." she sighed happily, sitting down beside Robecca.

"I see you're now in a better mood." HooDude remarked, sipping his apple juice.

"Don't try me." Venus retaliated quickly.

"It that Venus I hear? Do you want bacon, dear?" asked Kindergrubber in her crackly voice.

"Yes please, Mrs Kindergrubber." Venus called.

"Venus, do you want to accompany me to Café Amore after breakfast? I could really use a strong cup of tea." Robecca remarked.

"Tea? Robecca, you know I prefer coffee. But sure, I'll come. HooDude? You coming?" Venus said.

"Sorry girls, I would simply love to come with you, but unfortunately Scarah and I are going to the park. We should go shopping sometime, though." said HooDude sarcastically.

The girls grinned and Kindergrubber served them breakfast.

Café Amore it was- for both couples.

I enjoy writing HooDude XD. Please review!
