A/N: Ok, first off let me apologize for the week between updates. I didn't mean for it to go on this long but I've been extremely busy working and this is the first chance I've had to update. Next one should be a lot faster :) So, this chapters just a bit of fun to give them a chance to get to know each other better. It's a little shorter than usual because I'm literally falling asleep as I type this, but I felt really bad about how long it's been since I last posted.
For the rest of the day it was like a party on the Tardis, Jack was wild and uncontrollable and before long they were sat around the table playing drinking games.
Clara had watched doubtfully at first, beginning to regret voting to let him onto the Tardis but he was actually bringing them all closer together, rather than driving them apart so she decided to just go along with whatever he was suggesting.
Ashildr was by far their greatest source of amusement now Jack had arrived, the two of them together were like a pair of giggling teenagers and had polished off several bottles of wine before anyone else could even pick up their glass.
It was at some point after the seventh bottle the group had shared between them, a disproportionate amount going to the two immortal partners in crime, that Jack suggested a game of Never Have I Ever.
River started to protest, as the only sober one she was the only one who could see the potentially hazardous nature of this game, but the others had already jumped on board with the idea wholeheartedly.
Missy shared a look with River and winked, it was then that River realised that Missy wasn't actually drinking anywhere near as much as the others and she sighed defeatedly and stopped arguing. Whatever they were doing there was no stopping them so she might as well just try and enjoy whatever was going to happen as an impartial observer.
"So!" Oswin yelled out, standing and gesturing dramatically at Jack, "How does this new game work?"
Clara giggled at her twins wild arm movements and caught her wrist as it flew past her face, dragging Oswin down to sit beside her.
Jack gave Oswin a questioning look at her lack of knowledge of the game but shrugged it off when Ashildr murmured an abridged explanation into his ear.
"Well, we go around and every one says, never have I ever, and then they say something they haven't done. Anyone who has done it then has to drink." He grinned at her, quickly pulling out more bottles from a stash he'd managed to bring on board the Tardis. "Who's first?"
"I'll go." Amy said, reluctantly sitting up from where she had been leaning on Rory's shoulder.
"Never have I ever, broken something at a friends house and not told them."
Clara and Oswin both looked at each other and shrugged, draining what was left in their glasses before Clara reached over for the bottle to refill them.
Ashildr sighed and leaned over to grab her glass, downing a mouthful before pointing a finger at Amy, "That was weak Pond, here's one for you. Never have I ever, ended up naked without knowing why."
No one was surprised when Jack lifted his glass but their jaws all dropped when Rory tried to sneak a drink without them noticing.
"Husband! Want to elaborate?" Amy shrieked at him in shock.
Rory blushed bright red, "It was once in college, I went out with the lads and...well none of us remember what happened. But when we woke up, we all promised to never speak about it."
They all burst out laughing at the horrified expression on Amy's face that very quickly turned into amusement, before she joined the rest of them laughing.
"My turn?" Oswin asked, still giggling slightly, "So the aim of the game is to get everyone else more drunk than you right?" When everyone nodded she grinned, "Alright then, never have I ever had to run to save my life."
Jack nodded at her with respect as every single person playing raised their glass and downed their drink.
Rory snorted suddenly and they all looked at him as he got a wicked glint in his eye as he looked at Amy. "Never have I ever injured myself whilst trying to impress someone I fancy."
She gave him a look of death as she drank before turning back to the others with a melodramatic sigh, "I have to tell the story don't I? Ok, so it's not that big a deal. But there was this guy and he was really into mountain climbing. So I decided to tell him that it was my hobby as well. And so, we went together and I didn't have a clue what I was doing to I set everything up wrong and ended up falling ten feet and scraping all the skin off my arms trying to catch hold of something to break the fall."
They all stared back at her for a moment, lips twitching, before dissolving into giggles again. Reluctantly she soon joined them at laughing at her own stupidity.
Missy decided then that it was her turn, and River braced herself. But it seemed like Missy had decided to play nice with Jack, or at least for now. "Never have I ever set someone's hair on fire on purpose."
Once again, Jack drank because he seemed to have tried every crazy stunt every conceived but on this occasion he was also joined by Ashildr who fist bumped him as the both threw back their shots.
"I'm assuming there's a story here right?" Amy asked as they grinned at each other.
"Well." Ashildr started. "We went out for drinks and decided to crash a house party."
"And then, one of the dudes started getting a bit too friendly with Ashildr." Jack continued.
"So, we mixed up as many different disgusting smelling things we could find and pelted him with it from the upstairs balcony." She smiled, remembering.
"But then," Jack laughed, "Ashildr, who'd had a few drinks, decided to throw a lit match down on him, and well...the stuff we'd mixed up was slightly flammable."
They all shared a laugh as they visualised a drunk Ashildr raining fire down on disrespectful men like an avenging demon child.
Clara got a contemplative look on her face as she struggled to remember something, but then it clicked and she turned to Oswin and smiled, "Never have I ever gone to church and a gay bar within two hours of each other."
For the first time in the entire game, Jack didn't actually drink, but Oswin did. Reluctantly she finished off what was in her glass before meeting the rest of their friends eyes.
"What?! My parents forced me to go to church, even though I gave a completely reasonable argument as to why there is no god and science explains everything. And then they started going on about my getting a husband, so I went to a gay bar and brought home a woman in the middle of the family Sunday dinner with my homophobic aunt."
Some of them laughed outright, whilst others felt more inclined to nod approvingly, which Rory went on to do in a very serious manner.
Jack waved his hand to get their attention, "Ok so, last one before we do something else, because we've nearly finished all the booze. Alright, never have I ever...been slapped in the face." He said finally after failing to think of anything else with the alcohol induced haze over him mind.
Ashildr looked at him disbelievingly and he shrugged before taking a drink along with the rest of the Tardis crew, except for Missy.
Clara just stared at her, "Seriously, out of everyone, you're the one who hasn't been slapped in the face?"
Out of nowhere, Amy reached up and hit Missy in the face, not particularly hard but enough to cause her head to turn to the side.
Almost in slow motion, her head spun round to face Amy with a stormy expression. They all held their breathes, waiting for Missy's reaction. Suddenly, her face broke into a wild grin and she started laughing, relieved they all joined in, except for Amy who remained quiet when Missy hissed a warning under her breath that she should never try anything like that ever again.
Ashildr bounced up, pulling Oswin with her who was sat between her and Clara.
"Come on then, it's only eleven and we're out of drinks. Let's go out!"
River who had been watching the whole game rolled her eyes and slipped away to her room, if they were going to make fools of themselves and cause trouble then so be it, it wasn't her job to be their babysitter.
Jack soon jumped at her suggestion and they all pulled themselves up and stumbled over each other to get to the Tardis doors.
Just as Clara put her hand on the wooden surface of the door she got what felt like a static shock and scowled at the door. "Hey! Let me out!"
Oswin tapped her on the shoulder and pulled her round to face the console.
"Just an idea, but maybe we should land first. I don't think there's any alcohol flying around in the time vortex."
Clara stared at her blankly before nodding and striding over to the console and hitting three buttons before coming straight back. She stared at Oswin who started shifting uncomfortably, before reaching out and tapping her on the nose, "Did you know you look an awful lot like me?"
Oswin giggled at her, reaching out to steady her as the Tardis landed, "Well yeah, but I'm the more attractive one."
Clara nodded solemnly as the others cracked up and pushed her and Oswin, who were closest to the doors, out of the Tardis. They all emerged and stared around curiously.
"Ok...so where are we?" Rory asked, still clutching his glass that was now empty. He looked around helplessly before leaning down and placing it in front of the Tardis door.
Jack shrugged, "Some small town, modern day England too I think. Let's find a bar."
He strode off in a random direction, with the rest of them following him like lost sheep, disorientated and hoping he had some idea where he was going.
Ashildr grinned and linked arms with him, "Come on Jack, you can smell alcohol. Where too?"
He winked at her and pointed just across the street from where they were.
"Shall we?"
The seven of them darted across the room in a drunken huddle before clattering through the doors and into the bar. Several of the locals turned to glare at them disapprovingly but they paid them no mind, quickly sliding into a booth along the back wall.
"What's everyone having?"
They all shouted random orders at Jack until he shushed at them impatiently, "You know what, we'll just get several pitchers of beer and go from there. And Oswin, you can't walk into a bar at eleven at night and order chicken soup."
She shot him a dirty look and pouted which Missy seemed to find hilarious, poking at her with a straw she had found on the table before turning round to confer about something with Ashildr.
Jack rolled his eyes and went to get the drinks, but when he had got back. Ashildr, Oswin and Missy had disappeared.
He tried to ask Clara where they had gone but she was fast asleep on the table. He sighed and turned to the Ponds, tapping Rory on the shoulder to try and get his attention away from making out with Amy.
"Hey," He said when they finally noticed him, "Where did the others go?"
They both shrugged and Jack groaned, "Come on, we need to find them before they cause any trouble."
Amy and Rory sighed but got up anyway and headed outside. Jack tried to wake up Clara but she was out cold so he just hoisted her up over his shoulders before sweeping out of the bar dramatically.
