The car that arrived first at The George was Ros, Jade and Jo. With Malcolm. Closely followed by Adam and Zaf. Then as they got out the car, Harry and Ruth drove by. Ruth remembered her jacket and walked in hand in hand with Harry. "Right who's getting the first round"
"Me!" Jade willingly offered.
"Right ill have a pint"
"Me too" Said Adam. Ros helped her with the drinks as Ruth and Jo sat and talked.
"So any plans we must know about? Do you want a hen night"
"Im not sure"
"It will be fun. We wont do anything too outrageous!" Chuckled Jo.

Jade and Ros carried the small black tray filled with drinks back to the table.
"Thanks"
Adam and Zaf sat right next to each other. Almost on top of each other.

The team played a game with the drinks. It entailed the following: 'Each person has to say something that they all have supposedly done and if you haven't, you take a drink'
Adam went first.
"Right. Have you ever stolen something from the Grid?" They all drank "Yeh bloody right"
"My turn. Has an operation ever gone drastically wrong when you have been in charge?" Jo asked. Most people took a drink. Apart from Harry and Adam.
"Right have you ever had sex on a beach"
"Harry"
"Well have you Ruth?" She quickly took a sip. Jade had been thinking of one for a while.
"Directed at boys only. Have you ever kissed another man?" All of them downed their pints. The girls looked at them with the 'look'
"I haven't. But I'll do it"
"Yes me two" Zaf said in agreement with Adam.
"Alright. I bet you don't do it though. Hang on what about a bet"
"Yes. I think fifty quid" Said Ros knowing that they wouldn't do it.
"Ok. Fifty quid" Adam and Zaf looked a little uncertain. They moved in closer. Their heads together. Lips touching. Mutters from the rest were fading in the background as everyone stooped. Watched. Their lips brushed each other gently. By now the rest of the team were looking at each other. Ros put fifty pounds on the table. Thinking that they would stop. They carried on. Now on the floor. Still kissing. Jade and Ros sat and laughed. Harry and Malcolm rolled their eyes. Ruth watched Jo as she tried not to through something at them. Zaf.
"Alright you can stop now!" Shouted Jo. They didn't. Jo picked up a glass. Ruth stopped her.
"Don't. They are drunk. Leave it"
"How come Jade doesn't care"
"Maybe she can take a joke-" Ruth stopped herself. Jo stormed out. Ruth ran after her.
"It didn't mean to come out like that"

Harry, Malcolm, Ros and Jade sat at the bar. Away from Adam and Zaf who were still 'At It' on the floor.
"They are so going to regret that in the morning" Chuckled Ros. Ruth sat with a distressed Jo. "Jo. Don't do this to yourself. They are young and having a good time. Let yourself go a bit"
"But im not like that"
"You could have fooled me" Jo looked at Ruth and smiled. Remembering the time she had stripped naked at a party with the team. It was Ruth who consoled an embarrassed Jo then. And a distressed Miss Portman now.
"You aren't even a couple"
"Yes I know but I love him. I know it would never happen but a girl can dream. Cant she"
"She can. I did"
"Did you"
"Did I what"
"Did you ever think that you and Harry would get together"
"Never. I always used to think it was never meant to be. Until he asked me out for dinner"
"Why did you"
"I thought everyone would talk about me. And I cant take that"
"We all wanted you to get together"
"Me too. First day on the Grid. He was there. Made me laugh. Made me myself"
"You know you two are like, well, you are invincible"
"What do you mean" Ruth was intrigued.
"No matter what has happened you have just been together. Nothing can tear you apart. You had to leave. No togetherness. But now you are back and you are getting married"
"I suppose we are. Thank you"
"it's a bit cold outside. Shall we go back in"
"Yes. Lets" They walked back inside and over to the table. Ruth saw Harry and was so pleased that they were finally together. What Jo said was right. They are invincible.

Adam and Zaf had now finally stopped. But couldn't stop smiling.
"I never knew you felt that way"
"I didn't think you did either "
"What about-"

"That doesn't matter. I love you"
