A/N- Wassup? It be TOBN here with a new chapter of It's Kind Of A Funny Story!
I think this is going to be my last update for a while, because I am currently finishing some chapters for upcoming stories that I want to post by their deadline, so sorry in advance if you don't see much of me this week. I think if I am ever going to update, it is going to be The Supernatural Chronicles Of Team V or The Royals, or both. But I will try and post regularly, so don't worry; I'm not saying goodbye yet :)
As for this one, it is another TOBN original, and I think you and I will like this one very much. I mean, it involves one of my favorite funny prompts, and I think it is pretty funny. But maybe that's just me: you all will have to be the judge of that :)

It's Kind Of A Funny Story: Chapter 7: Us Drunks Have To Stick Together
If there was five things that Ethan learned about their friendship on that fatal night, it was this:
1. Benny may be a shy singer who happens to be amazing at singing, but has a terrible stage fright,
But when you add alcohol, he'll sing like there is no tomorrow, along with some crazy bad dance.
2. Sarah may be that discreet crusher who smiles and is never too forward with someone,
But when you hand her a shot of vodka, say goodbye to all inhibitions and add condoms.
3. Erica may be some strong and really brave girl who never cries,
But when you hand her a cup of beer in that infamous red plastic cup, she'll cry you a river.
4. Rory may be a really good secret keeper who is always happy with his friends, and never gossips,
But when you give him a bottle of spiked punch, get ready for a lot of revelations you would never want to hear. Ever.
And finally, number 5:
In order for their friendship to work, at least one person must be sober.
It was a pretty reckless night.
Ethan was somehow convinced to go to a club near their college building, thanks to invites from Erica and Sarah. Rory and Benny obviously tagged along, and the five of them went clubbing that night, all dressed up fancily and everything.
Of course, since this was an average and reckless club, there was alcohol. And a lot of it too.
People were taking shots and playing a bunch of drunk drinking games, and a band was blaring in the background.
Halfway through the night, and almost everyone was drunk. Luckily, Ethan had his still sober friends with him, and they stuck close together. Erica sighed.
"Tell me again why we aren't on the dance floor, shaking up a storm" She complained, shaking her head. Rory grinned.
"Because Benny is gonna fulfill his dream!" He said with a smile, shooting a wide grin towards the shaking spellmaster, who glared at him with steely eyes. He said nothing though as Ethan rubbed his back reassuringly.
"It's alright, B. We already know how much of a great singer you are! You'll knock 'em dead. Besides; it's not every day your band gets to perform at a fucking club." Ethan pointed out, beaming. Benny smiled weakly as one of Benny's bandmates gave Benny the thumbs up. They were going on soon.
"I-I don't want to do this." He whimpered. "How'd you find out about the band, anyway? The only person who knew was Rory, and he is the only one I trust with my secrets." He said, making Rory smile with a wide grin.
"That's right! I am a vault for your secrets, and I am locked tight!" He said with a happy bounce.
"He's right," Ethan pointed out, shrugging. Rory was actually pretty good at secret keeping, and he has kept multiple secrets; not only for his friends, but for others too. Sarah interrupted their little side tracked conversation.
"One of your bandmates posted this picture of you singing on YouTube. You were actually so good, Benny, and I swear, you sounded amazing. Are you sure you aren't gonna take this as a career choice or something?" She asked, pulling out her phone to show Benny, singing one of Queen's songs with his band. Benny ducked his head embarrassedly.
"God, that is terrible. No one was supposed to know about this; especially you guys. I am terrible at singing." Benny mumbled, burying his face in his hands. Erica leaned forward to see the video and her eyes widened a bit.
"Actually, this is pretty good, dork. I'd buy your album any time." She said, smiling at the spellmaster. Benny paled considerably at the thought.
"I-I have to go. I need a drink." He said quickly, dashing past his friends as went through all the drunk dancers on the dance floor. At this rate, almost the whole party was drunk, and wouldn't really notice anything if they could. Ethan looked in the direction his friend went and sighed.
"Spellmaster search party?" He asked softly. Everyone nodded.
"Spellmaster search party. We'll meet back here in twenty minutes, and hopefully Benny will be with us by then." Sarah agreed with a small nod.
Everyone then separated and searched through the crowds to find Benny.
...
It had been fifty minutes, and Ethan still hasn't heard from his friends. He'd been waiting by the edge of the stage, looking desperately for not only Benny, but his friends.
All of the sudden, he caught sight of Sarah, who was leaning against this guy he didn't know. He also doubted that she knew him, therefore he walked up to her, dodging all the dancing bodies on the dance floor of the loud club. He fiddled with the edge of the blazer he wore, tugging at its seam. He shooed away the drunk guy a bit and was face to face with a booze smelling Sarah, a glass in her hand.
"Sarah!" He exclaimed over the loud band that blared in the background. "I've been waiting for you guys! Have you found Benny yet? And...and are you drinking?" He questioned loudly, ranting. Sarah whistled loudly, ruffling her hair wildly as she stared at Ethan with blown-wide eyes.
"Hey Ethie!" She slurred, smiling as she leaned against Ethan, hands on his shoulders as she sighed dreamily. "Or is it E? I mean, that's what Benny calls you, and you are pretty close. And I will do ANYTHING to get closer to you, sweetie," She leered, her breathe thickening with booze. Ethan's eyes widened.
"Sarah...are you drunk?" He asked in shock. Sarah laughed loudly, catching a few stares.
"Vampires can't get drunk, Ethan. DUH!" She exclaimed loudly, laughing again as she jabbed her finger at Ethan's chest.
"You know, I know you're single, and I wanna be the lucky girl to be yours." She flirted, twirling her hair frantically. She turned her head around, placing a finger on Ethan's lips before he could even say anything. She whispered rather loudly, jabbing her thumb towards the exit.
"Y'know, we can get out. Get a little crazy." She giggled now, hiccuping in between. "Whatcha say, pretty boy?" She slurred. Ethan watched as she toppled over a bit, letting Ethan catch her before she can hit the ground. She smiled.
"My herrrro." She slurred, launching into a lot more giggles. Ethan sighed, slinging her arm over his shoulder.
"Sarah, you're drunk. I'm bringing you home, and we are gonna find the others. C'mon." He demanded, carrying the intoxicated vampire on his arms.
...
Ethan and the drunken Sarah finally spotted a waft of short, dusty blonde hair. It was Rory, talking with a few people he recognized from their college. It was Rory's roommate, and her boyfriend. Ethan groaned when he spotted a red plastic bottle in his hand; great. He wondered what Rory's drunk personality would be...
"Hey! E-Dog! Wazzup?" He yelled loudly, waving his hands wildly as he burped a bit. The rather intoxicated college couple giggled, smiling. Ethan groaned; he did not want to deal with a drunk Rory right now...
"Rory. We have to go. Now." Ethan demanded, pulling Rory's arm a bit. Sarah left Ethan's side to stagger towards the college boy Rory was talking to.
"Hey," She slurred, both young adults drunk. The girlfriend crossed her arms rather jealously as Sarah smiled. "You are cute." She said with a smile. The boy winked as the girl gasped, pulling him back. Rory looked at his roommate, then his girlfriend, and blew a raspberry, shocking Ethan.
"Beeee careful!" He exclaimed, acting more relentless than usual. "That boy is a cheat-a!" He said each syllable with emphasis. The boyfriend paled as Sarah backed up a bit.
"Ooh!" She slurred. "Bomb dropped." She said, gritting her teeth. Ethan was tempted to pull them both away before Rory could spill anything else, but he oddly wanted to see how this would turn out. Rory grinned.
"My buddy over here is a cheater, with a capital C." He explained drunkenly. "He's been bangin' the girl in Room 53 for MONTHS now. I can NOT believe you never found out!" Ethan's eyes widened, but not as wide as his roommate's girlfriend.
"You asshole!" She yelled, slapping her boyfriend. She stormed off, and the roommate threw his hands up in the air in frustration as he went to find his girlfriend. Ethan sighed loudly as Rory flashed them both a drunken smile.
"Hey. She had to know at some point." He paused. "Hey Ethan, do you still have that HUGE obsession over Selena Gomez? W-What happened to that cut-out-" Ethan blushed as he covered his friend's mouth quickly.
"Uh, we don't need to hear about that now," He squeaked, pulling them both along. "Let's find Erica and Benny before this really gets out of hand"
Rory shrugged as he followed, Sarah giggling all the way.
...
Ethan heard the sound of wailing.
"Oh god," He murmured, walking all the way to a table in the corner, Rory and Sarah following him. Ethan stopped at the sight he could never un-see in his whole entire life. And to be honest, he found this one quite interesting.
Sarah had launched herself in a talk with some guy, giving him her number.
"Erica?" He asked quietly. Erica had tears down her eyes, an empty wine glass laid sideways on the table.
"EEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN!" She exclaimed loudly, launching herself onto Ethan. Ethan groaned. "Hoo boy..." He mumbled other his breath. Erica cried and cried and cried as she sadly looked at Ethan.
"My whole entire life is a mess!" She wailed. "I just wanna be loved! I just wanna have a boyfriend! I JUST WANNA HAVE A GOOD LIFE!" She cried out, her sobs loud and her breathe with the smell of alcohol. Ethan rubbed her back as much as he could, tears staining his shirt; he never saw Erica so sad before. He guessed that this was her drunk personality...
"Look, Erica, I'd love to talk, but I think we should go to the car now..." He said, shuffling a bit, dragging the blonde with him, who was still crying on his shoulder. He signalled Rory and Sarah over, and they drunkenly staggered alongside him.
"Don't even get me STARTED on driving! Do you know how many driving tests I failed?! I AM NOTHING!" Rory smirked.
"No one knows but me, but you also crashed your mom's car in a tree, and used Ethan's credit card to pay for the damage." Rory whistled drunkenly. Erica looked at him with teary eyes as Ethan's eyes widened; no wonder he was running a bit low on money!
"Did you actually-" Erica groaned.
"I suck at EVERYTHING!" She wailed, and Ethan felt some sort of sympathy; might as well let it go for now.
...
It has been an hour, and the club was filled with drunks. Ethan couldn't find Benny anywhere, and his friends were getting more relentless. Sarah was being too forward, and she had over ten numbers already. Erica was wasting her tears, and Ethan learned more secrets than he should even know, because of Rory.
Just then, the lights started flashing and a rock song got on. The people in the club started to rave as a familiar voice rocked the stage. Ethan's eyes focused on the singer, and he gasped loudly, his jaw dropping.
It was a frazzled, and probably drunk, Benny.
And he was performing with his band.
...In public.
"We so FLYYYYYYYY!" Benny sang loudly, hopping on the stage wildly, shaking his head all over the place, all inhibitions loose. He had no sense of where he was, but he continued to air guitar and dance all over the place. Sarah yelled loudly.
"I AM FLY! LEMME FLY WITH YOU!" She said. Rory grinned as he drunkenly danced too.
"YOU KNOW, BENNY ALWAYS DREAMED OF FLYING, HE FLEW OFF THE COUCH ONCE AND BROKE ETHAN'S LEGO SET WHEN THEY WERE SIX!" He yelled, making Ethan pout; he worked forever on that Lego set...
"I WANNA FLY! BUT I CAAAAAAAN'T!" Erica wailed, crying even more. Ethan couldn't take it anymore as he quickly ran to the stage, hopping on and dragging Benny off.
"Come on E!" Benny sang, a spotlight following. "Let's rock 'n roll!" He sang loudly, getting screams from everyone.
"WE SOOOOO FLYYYYY!" He sang.
Ethan groaned as he dragged everyone out, sighing.
What a night.
The next day, Benny was currently in his room, traumatized of the new video released from the club. He was terrified.
"Why are my eyes so puffy?" Erica asked, dabbing her eyes in front of the mirror. Sarah was currently answering a bunch of calls she couldn't remember hearing, rubbing her head. And Rory was currently getting sued from some guy for revealing he murdered someone.
Ethan sat between it all, sighing.
Oh, his friendship was tough
