Clubbing

AN : Here's chapter 4 of Just Random Tomb Raider Stories. I decided to carry on the concept of Alistair being gay in this story for one more chapter, but by chapter 5 we'll move onto something else. I changed this chapter cause Alistair was really out of character and I was being a bit steriotypical.

I'd like to thank Lime Frog for pointing out the things I could change in this chapter. And thanks for the review as well.

Disclaimer : I don't own Lara, Kurtis, Alistair, Zip or Winston.

"No." Alistair said simply before taking another sip of his hot tea. A good thing to have when you were just walking about in a bloody storm, when it was sunny only half an hour ago and you didn't have a jacket. He caught colds easily.

"Aw. C'mon Alis. It'll be great fun!" Kurtis pleaded.

"I said no. I'm not going anywhere like that."

"Not going anywhere like what?" Lara asked as she walked into the kitchen and standing beside Alistair.

"Me and Kurtis are tryin' to show Alistair that he can have a good time. Y'know take him somewhere nice. A club." Zip said, gulping down the rest of his tea and walking over to the sink, dumping his cup in it.

"A GAY club." Alistair corrected.

"A gay club? Why can't you go to a normal club?"

"'Cause we're tryin to make him see that Zip's not the only guy out there. Let him meet someone."

"You really are taking the piss aren't you. If you haven't noticed I would never step foot anywhere near a club let alone a gay club." Alistair said

"So basically you're not proud then." Kurtis said.

"Kurtis Trent! Don't you blackmail him into this!" Lara shouted.

"Woah! Calm down Lara. I was only having a laugh."

Alistair stood up and exited the room, leaving Lara, Kurtis and Zip alone. "I know but it helps to control the laughter." she sat herself down opposite Kurtis, "Imagine what he would be like at a club! Let alone a gay club! Oh his face if someone hit on him." she laughed. "You'll have to drug him in order to do it though."

"That's where you come in Lara my dear." Winston came out from the freezer, shivering and rubbing his arms in order to warm himself up.

How does he always escape! She thought. "Excuse me?"

"You are practically his best friend child. You talk him into it something like." he clears his throat and straightens his posture and begins to talk in a more feminine tone, "Oh. C'mon Alistair. You're my bestest bestest friend and it would totally break me if you didn't go. Please. PRETTY PLEASE. And then the rest is history." he began to walk out the kitchen door, shivering again before Lara stopped him.

"Winston. Firstly, I don't talk like that. Secondly, what makes you think he'll listen to me and thirdly. How the hell do you always find a way out of there?!"

"Some things are meant to be left to the imagination, m'lady." and then he disapeered into thin air, coming back a second later, searching around the room. "Has anybody seen my tray? It's what makes you think I'm around when I'm not. You know, it clatters around making it seem like I'm near but I'm off in the Caribbean."

They just looked at him and then Zip picked up and threw him his tea-tray.

"Alisair. I think it'll be good for you. Have a free night." Lara sighed as she sat down on the couch opposite her friend.

"I don't know Lara. It's just not me. And how could I ever forget Zip. No man will ever live up to him. No matter how hard they try." he sighed blissfully, staring off into space.

Lara snapped her fingers in front of him. "Alistair. You're drooling." he came back to earth.

"Oh. I couldn't be that bad. I suppose so. But only for an hour."

"Thank-you." she stood up, patted him on the back and left the libary.

"Lara! Hurry up!" Zip shouted as he entered the garage, sitting in the Aston Martin beside Alistair, Kurtis sitting in the passenger seat.

Lara entered, groaning as she half carried Winston into the room, his arm was around her shoulder and he panted heavily. Kurtis had to clutch his stomach in order to stop laughing. Winston was wearing a rainbow dyed top and leather shorts. He was also wearing a cap on his head, tilted to the side for trend or to him 'how the young hipsters would wear it'.

"Winston!? You're coming?" Kurtis asked as Lara flooped him down on the back seat.

"I wouldn't miss an outing Mr Trent. And pansy clubs are fun."

"Winston. It's not a pansy club, it's a gay club. And we're only going there for Alistair." Lara sighed, starting the engine. "I didn't want to do this! It was you who insitsted!" Alistair shouted.

"It is a pansy club, Ms Croft! Have you seen Master Alistair?"

"Lets get this over and done with." Lara sighed as she drove off.

Lara and Kurtis sat down at a small table in the corner in the club, dancers, including Alistair and Winston, surrounding them. After forty five minuets at the club, Alistair had gotten drunk, strangley, and danced his way to oblivion, Winston joining him because he once again thought it was 'what the young hipsters would do' and liked the idea of dancing with a 'pansy'.

Zip walked over to them, carrying a tray of drinks, He placed it down and plopped himself down next to Kurtis. "Here ya go." he handed Lara a soda water and lime, Kurtis a bottle of Stella Artois and placed a bottle of Budwaiser in front of himself. "Alistair seems to be enjoying himself." Kurtis said, sipping his beer.

"Yeah. Strange really. He didn't want to come and now he's drunk and dancing in a gay club to Girls Aloud. I didn't even think he knew who they were. And wishing he hadn't come before." Lara began. "Speak of the devil" Alistair and Winston were walking towards them, Winston waving a leaf of paper about.

"Enjoying yourself mate?" Zip asked Alistair as he reached them.

"You bet! And thanks Lara for making me come here. I really appreciate it girlfriend!"

"Girlfriend?! Alistaitr how much have you had to drink?"

"I don't know. How can you do maths when you're surrounded by SO many fit guys?!"

"Alot." she muttered and sipped at her drink. "What about you Winston? Young and pansy enough for you?" she chuckled.

"Fantastic, Miss Croft. Look this nice man gave me his phone number. A nice new friend for us!" he waved the sheet of paper in front of the threesome.

"Winston. That's not what he mean-" she was caught off as Alistair dragged Winston back into the crowd of dancers. "He's gonna regret that tomorrow."

"He's havin' fun. Right, I'm gonna get a packet of crisps. You want anythin'?" Kurtis asked standing.

"Salt and vinegar crisps please."

"I'll come with you." Zip said, also standing up and Kurtis and him walked over to the bar. Only a second after they had left, a tall, thin man walked over to Lara. "Excuse me?" he sat down next to her.

"Yes?" she edged away from him.

"I was wonderin' if you could give me that seriously cute guy's number?"

"Which guy? If you haven't noticed I'm here with four."

"The older one, of course! He's gorgeous! I've been watchin' him all night. Love at first sight." he sighed.

"Winston?!" she laughed. Obviously he was definetley a bigger hit than she thought

AN : There's chapter 4. Hope you like it. I have changed alot because the first version was too steriotypical.

I'll post chapter 5 up on Saturday.
