Happy Halloween to all who celebrate it! I'm just going to keep things simple and cut to the chase. I think this one was requested by a guest reviewer, but I'm not entirely sure. It's not a lemon, but there are some strong sexual references. As usual, check in the A/N at the end for a hint of what the next one-shot will be about.

One-shot 3

Drinks

"*yawn* ughhh... who- OH MY GOD!"

"H-huh... hmmm? WHAT THE-"

"HOOOOOLLLLYY SHIT! WHY ARE YOU...?! WHY AM I...?! WE'RE- WHAT-"

"I-I-I CAN EXPLAIN!"

"DO IT!"

"W-WELL, UM, LAST NIGHT I THINK I WAS..."

And so the story began...

The night before...

8:00pm. It was 8:00pm, on a Friday night, on a college campus. As expected of almost every college or university in existence, there was a party brewing. The night was still young, and everybody who was anybody was going, since it was no normal party. It was an interscholastic party, which meant everything was wilder than usual, since there were going to be students from all the nearby colleges in attendance. Normally, every college student would be getting ready to go, but one 19-year old teen was stuffed up in her dorm, watching TV. Her long, honey hair was an untied mess, and her cyan eyes were void of any joy. She wasn't going to the party.

"Of course, there's nothing on..." droned Serena as she clicked buttons on her TV remote, flipping through the channels. Nothing was on. Well, nothing interesting. Serena collapsed face first onto her bed, allowing her face to sink into her pillows. "Ughhh... this is sooooo boooooring..."

Serena lay face down in her bed for a while, but eventually lifted her head up to breathe in some fresh air. She lifted her head, and across the room she saw the empty bed of her roommate. Of course, her roommate was May. Serena sighed. May wasn't present, and without May, Serena was lonely. She had friends beside her sister, but her sister was the closest one by far.

"Dammit May... why did your Physics professor choose this weekend of all weekends to take your class on a field trip...? I'm all alone, and I have no one to go to the party with... now I'm stuck here, with nothing to do... this sucks... maybe I should just go alone. I might as well, I guess..."

Serena lay face up on her bed, staring at the ceiling. Suddenly, her mind began to fill itself to the brim with optimistic, excited thoughts. The longer she stared, the more fired up she got.

"Yeah!" she shouted, sitting up. "Why do I need to have people with me to have fun at a party?! I don't need to have a group with me to have fun at a party! I can have fun all by my self! Yeah! I don't need May! I don't need anyone! What time is it...? 8:07! The night is still young! I can do this! I'm going to that party! I'm gonna dance! I'm gonna have fun! Watch out everyone, here comes Serena Maple!"

With her plans decided, Serena hopped out of her bed, and skipped straight towards the bathroom, grabbing her towel on the way there. Before entering the shower, she grabbed her phone, plugged it into a small boombox, and searched for the perfect song for the occasion. After several minutes of searching, she found the perfect song. "Dancing Queen" by ABBA.

As the song began, Serena stripped naked and danced into the shower. By the time the water had started raining down on her, the first verse of the song had begun. Serena sang along to the best of her ability, using her shower head as a microphone.

"Friday night and the lights are low..." she sang, perfectly in tune. "Looking out for a place to go... Where they play the right music, getting in the swing, you've come to look for a... king..."

At the line "you come to look for a king" Serena hesitated. Of course, that line meant that she was looking for a boyfriend. Of course, Red already fit that role. But unfortunately, he was away at a soccer game. That was just another reason why Serena had been so bored. May was away on a trip and Red was away at a game. But Red had away games often, so she shook off the thought and continued on with the song. By the time she had gotten back into the song, the chorus was starting. She quickly burst back into song.

"And when you get the chance... You are the dancing queeeeeeen! Young and sweet, only niiiineteen!" sang Serena, laughing at the last two words. The lyrics were 'only seventeen', but she changed them so the song would be about her. "Dancing queen! Feel the beat of the tambourine! Oh yeaaaahhh!"

Serena continued her singing until the shower was over. She skipped out, dried herself off, and found some nice but casual clothes to put on. She applied some make-up, blow-dried her hair, and brushed it till it was beautiful and orderly. Once her outfit was complete, she opened a cabinet that she had specifically for perfumes. Her eyes scanned each of the small bottles, trying to find the perfect one.

"Hm... Orange Burst? Nah, that's not for this type of party... Lilac Bloom? I wore that last time..." muttered Serena. Then, her eyes fell upon a little pink bottle. It was almost full. Serena beamed. "OH! Sweet Pea! PERFECT!"

It really was perfect for the occasion, since Red absolutely despised the scent. As a sacrifice for their relationship, Serena never wore it when with Red, which meant that she barely ever wore it at all. But since Red wasn't present, wearing it was a must. Serena sprayed it on her wrists and neck, making sure not to put too much. She smelled herself, and sighed in content.

"Okay, I think I'm ready..."

She walked to the mirror, and checked herself out.

"Yeah, I'm so ready." she said with a smile.

She grabbed her belongings and took one last look around the room, making sure she hadn't forgotten anything. Deciding that she hadn't, Serena walked towards the door, ready to party. But as soon as she reached for the door knob, a knock was heard from the other side of the door. She tilted her head. Who could be knocking at her door? Red wasn't around, and neither was May. And even if May was around, she had her own room key as well, which meant she wouldn't be knocking.

"Who is it?" asked Serena cautiously.

"Me." replied a deep voice.

"Y'know, I was expecting a name."

"Serena, how the heck do you not recognize my voice?"

"Calm down, Brainiac." sighed Serena as she opened her door. "I was just joking."

The person on the other side of the door didn't seem too amused. His brown eyes were staring deep into Serena's soul. Serena immediately raised an eyebrow, taken aback by the intensity of his gaze. Though it was physically impossible, it looked like he was trying to make Serena's head explode or something.

"Ash, why are you looking at me like that?" half-laughed Serena, trying to lighten the drastically darkened mood. "Why are you here anyway? May's away on her field trip."

"I know that. I'm here against my will." said Ash blandly.

Serena examined Ash from top to bottom. He was wearing white sneakers, black jeans, and a plain, neon green t-shirt. He looked freshly shaven, and he smelled like he had just showered. His hair was slightly messier than usual, as it was not fully dried from the shower Serena assumed he had taken. On his face was a pair of glasses with rectangular lenses, a sight Serena hadn't seen in years. To top it all off, perched on Ash's shoulder was his faithful Pikachu, staring at Serena in the same manner Ash was; intensely.

Serena, no longer affected by their unhappy glares, folded her arms.

"What do you mean 'against your will'? And why are you wearing glasses?"

"I'm here because apparently, Red can't stand the thought of you being alone." growled Ash, rolling his eyes. Serena could tell he was beginning a rant. "He texted me 2 hours ago, telling me that I have to stay with you tonight, because he doesn't want you to 'do something you'll regret' at that party that's going on tonight. But he knew you'd be bored if you didn't go to the party, so he asked me of all people to come keep you company. I said 'no' of course, but Red threatened to 'hurt me' if I didn't, so here I am. Congrats. You've ruined my night. And the reason I'm wearing glasses is because May accidentally stepped on my contact lenses when she said goodbye to me this morning."

"I've ruined your night? What exactly were you going to spend it doing, polishing your computers?"

"You're not funny."

"Hm. Well guess what?" asked Serena.

"What?" muttered Ash.

"I'm going to that party anyway." answered Serena, lightly pushing Ash out of the way.

"Nope. No, you're not." said Ash, jumping in her way. "If you do, there's a 99.9999% chance that Red will kill me. C'mon, just stay in your dorm. Okay, maybe I'm making this a bigger deal than it has to be. I promise I won't be grumpy all night."

"Get out of my way, Ash." sighed Serena. "I'm going to that party whether Red likes it or not."

"Pika pika pi!" yelled Pikachu, sparks flying from his cheeks.

"Yeah, what Pikachu said!" said Ash frantically.

"I can't understand Pikachu." said Serena dryly.

"Oh..." said Ash. "Well he said that this is a big party, and there's going to be some dangerous people there! You shouldn't go alone!"

"Just come with me then." said Serena. "That way, everyone's happy. I go to the party, you're there with me, and Red doesn't have to worry. Problem solved."

Ash looked at Pikachu, and they had a silent conversation. Pikachu tilted his head, and Ash shrugged. Pikachu blinked twice, and Ash nodded. Pikachu waived his paws in the air, and Ash scratched his head. Ash then turned to Serena.

"Alright, I'll go with you. But I'll be watching you like a Hawlucha." said Ash, pointing to Serena.

"Oh whatever, let's just go." said Serena, walking past Ash.

Ash looked at Pikachu, sighed, and followed Serena. Looking back, he should have known that Serena would be adamant on going to the party. She was wearing nice clothes, her hair was brushed, and she smelled good. No one would like to put all that work into their appearance to end up not going anywhere. After a while, he found himself staring at Serena, noticing every detail of her. Though he'd never, EVER say it aloud, he had to admit. She looked really pretty. As soon as he thought that, he mentally slapped himself.

"What...the fuck? Was I really just staring at her? I think May hugged me a little too hard this morning... I'd never normally think Serena is pretty... she's not my type. Too bossy... too evil... too insane." thought Ash, deciding to walk next to Serena instead of behind her. From the corner of his eye, he saw her facial expression. It was blank, and her eyes were staring straight ahead. "She looks like she's lost in thought... probably thinking of ways to ditch me at the party. Or worse."

"Hmm... If I go to this party with Ash..." thought Serena. "Will people think we're dating? I hope not. I would hope that people would recognize him as Red's brother and think that there's nothing going on, but most people don't know Ash and Red are brothers... Hm, I guess it's not that big of a deal. I know we're not dating, and so does Ash. Who cares what other people think? And even if they do think we're dating, Ash is pretty good-looking, so-... wait a minute, what?"

Serena broke her straight gaze to look at Ash out of the corner of her eye. Much to her surprise, Ash was looking right back, out of the corner of his eye. They both immediately looked forward, pretending the moment had never happened. That split second moment was enough to inject a tsunami of awkwardness into the atmosphere.

"This is weird." thought both of them.

"Hey Ash." said Serena, trying strike up a conversation.

"Yeah?"

"Why aren't we friends?" asked Serena, the question almost coming out on its own.

"What do you mean?" asked Ash, turning to the honey-blonde. "We are friends."

"Really? We're really not when you think about it. Do you realize that tonight is a first? We've known eachother for around 3 years now, and we've never hung out, just the two of us. You can't say it's because we're dating each other's siblings either, because May and Red hang out all the time... they do tons of stuff together, because they're good friends. And then there's us... you and I just don't seem to like each other."

Ash took Serena's words into account, and realized that she was absolutely right. Since they had met on that fateful day in High School, he and Serena had always had the weakest friendship. In the 3 years they'd known each other, it barely grew at all. Sure, they had some moments over the years where they were thankful for each other's existence, but those paled in comparison to the moments where they dreaded each other's company.

"It's not that I don't like you-"

"So what is it?" asked Serena, turning her head to Ash. "Do you hate me?"

"hmmm... No, I don't hate you." said Ash, adjusting his glasses. "Do you hate me?"

"No, not at all. You just irk me sometimes, but that's normal I guess." answered Serena.

"Then let's be friends." said Ash with a competitive smile. "Starting tonight, we'll try our best to be just as casual and friendly as Red and May are."

"Why must you make everything a competition? *sigh* Okay Brainiac, let's do it."

"Hey, if you want this friendship thing to work out, you're gonna have to destroy that nickname." said Ash, an eye twitching.

"I'll think about it. But right now, let's focus on that party."

2 hours later...

The music was loud, but people's voices were louder. The party was in full swing, and everybody was either drinking, dancing, or both. In the corner, on a couch made for three, was Ash and Serena. Both of them had danced til they could dance no more, their legs exhausted. They had decided to sit on the couch and talk, and so far, it was going well. To anyone who didn't know them, it looked like they were good friends. And in actuality, in just 2 hours, they had become good friends. The slight hostility that was usually between the two was nowhere to be found. It was replaced with an awkward but enjoyable feeling, the feeling of truly getting to know someone. For example, Ash had learned that Serena's least favorite fruits were pineapples and grapefruits. He never would of known that if he hadn't spoken to her that night.

Pokemon weren't allowed into the party, so Ash had to leave Pikachu in the car.

The whole time, Ash had not once checked his phone, which was something he did pretty often when in public. He was too enveloped in the many conversations he was having with Serena. But finally, when the force of habit overtook him, he reached into his pocket, though he was still paying attention to Serena. But after a few seconds of digging through his pockets, his eyes widened.

"And that's when I said-"

"Hold on Serena." said Ash abruptly, putting a hand up. "My phone's not in my pocket."

"Then where is it? Did you even bring it with you to begin with?" asked Serena, not too worried about the absence of Ash's phone.

"Yeah, I'm positive I walked in with it. Oh man, I probably dropped it while I was dancing..."

"Probably... So, like I was saying-"

"Serena." growled Ash.

"Alright, I'll finish my story after you find your phone."

"I can't go look for it though... The whole reason I'm here is to keep you company and make sure you don't get into trouble. What if some big creepy douchebag grabs you or something? Red would castrate me."

"Ash please, I'm 19. I don't need protection, and I'm capable of making good decisions. Go find your phone, I'll be right here."

Ash stared at Serena for a few seconds, and then glanced at the dance floor, seriously weighing his options. But as soon as the thought of never seeing his cell phone again entered his mind, his decision was made.

"Don't leave that couch!" commanded Ash as jogged away, heading towards the dance floor.

Serena watched him leave. As soon as he was out of sight, she sighed. She was having mixed feelings on everything that had happened so far. She found it incredibly hard to believe that she and Ash had already become friends after 3+ years of disliking each other. But as hard to believe as it was, it was true. She had just spent a whole hour having a full conversation with him, and not once did she feel like insulting him. There was that, and the fact that she had thought of him as 'pretty good-looking' earlier. Never, had she ever thought of him as that, and she was still wondering why such a description would appear in her mind.

"I guess I can see why May's been so physically attracted to him all this time. He's got some good features, to a certain degree. And he is kind of charming, but it's not the type of charm I like. It's an awkward, nerdy, nice guy charm. I like Red's; Strong, protective, and fiery... but now that I think of it, Red has been a little too protective as of late. I can't believe he sent Ash to watch me. As if I'm the type of girl to get myself into trouble when he's not around... He and I are going to have a little talk when he gets back, because I'm totally capable of making good decisions."

By the end of her inner monologue, Serena was frowning. Noticing this, she shook the frown away. So far she was having a good time, and thinking of Red's imperfections would only ruin the mood. She looked around, trying to spot Ash in the crowd of people. He was nowhere to be seen. But just then, Serena noticed a figure walking towards her in the distance. At first she thought nothing of it, but the closer the person got, the clearer it was that Serena was their target. But by the time they were close enough, Serena already knew who they were. It was a girl with long black hair, pale skin, and bright green eyes. She had two cups in her hands, both filled with dark red liquid. Serena smiled as soon as she recognized the girl.

"Hi Jane." greeted Serena.

"Yo." replied Jane, one of Serena's new college friends. "You looked pretty bored sitting here on the couch, so I thought I'd come to turn that frown upside down."

"But I'm smiling."

"Well- I- shut up, you were frowning when I saw you." retorted Jane. She was easily flustered.

"Whatever. Why do you have two cups of wine with you?" asked Serena, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh I dunno, maybe so we can DRINK THEM. That's what one usually does with wine." sassed Jane, sitting beside Serena on the couch. "Here."

Jane handed Serena the glass, and Serena reluctantly took it. She looked at the wine, and then back at Jane. She first looked at Jane's cup, and much to her surprise, it was already empty. She then looked up at Jane, to see her already licking the remaining drops of wine off her lips. Serena shuddered. Without hesitation, she handed the glass of wine back to Jane.

"I can't... Alcohol and I don't have a very good history..." said Serena distantly.

"Oh come on, Serena, it's just one drink. What's the worst that can happen? You're at a college party; have some fun!" said Jane, handing the glass back to Serena. Serena took it back, and stared down at the red beverage with uncertainty. She took a deep breath.

"*Sigh*, fine..." replied Serena, rolling her eyes.

Serena took a sip of the wine, and felt fine at first. But then, a terrible feeling came over her. Guilt and anger. She had just made a bad decision, basically proving Red right to assume that she needed to be watched at parties. She then thought of Ash, who was more than likely going to be attacked by Red, since she had made a bad decision under his watch. Then, she thought of the irony. And needless to say, that stung the most.

"See? That wasn't too bad, was it?" asked Jane.

Serena didn't answer. Instead she slowly turned to Jane, her eyes narrow. The alcohol had already set in, and Serena's dark side had come to the surface.

"Jane..." muttered Serena quietly. "How many strands of hair do you think a tiger has?"

"I dunno, 7?" answered Jane, and eyebrow raised. "How on Earth would I know something like that off head?"

"W-well excuuuuuuuse me, b-bitch!" spat Serena, shakily rising to her feet. "You're so, so STUPID! ANd y-y-y'know what? You're dumb too! Everybody knows that a tiger's got a couple hundred thousand strands of h-hair. UGH!"

"Serena what the fuck are you talking abou-"

"Hey Serena! I found my cell phone! You'll never guess where I found it!" called Ash as he jogged over, a goofy smile on his face. As soon as he arrived, Jane took it as her chance to escape, leaving Ash to deal with the monster she had accidentally created. Ash watched Jane walk away, and then turned to Serena. She stared right back, one eye wider than the other. Ash raised an eyebrow and noticed an empty cup laying on the couch behind Serena. In a matter of seconds, he came up with a likely guess on what had happened. He facepalmed. "You can't be serious..."

"Serious 'bout what?" slurred Serena, folding her arms. "Serious about h-how sexier I am than May? Because... cuz I am."

Ash frowned.

"I was enjoying this party, but I guess all good things really do come to an end... Let's get you back to your dorm, before you cause any trouble." said Ash dryly, grabbing Serena by the hand. But Serena wouldn't have that. She yanked her hand free from Ash's grip, and brought it up to slap him. Luckily, Ash was able to dodge the swipe just in time. "Holy shit..."

"Y-you shouldn't touch women like t-that!" growled Serena. "No manners!"

"Oh man, this is going to take some work. I shouldn't have left her. Of course she'd end up getting drunk in the 5 minutes I was gone. So much for being 'a 19 year old girl capable of making good decisions'... If I'm careful, I'll be able to get away with this... and Red will never know..." thought Ash as he slowly approached Serena. "Okay Serena, without touching you, I am going to take you back to your dorm, okay? You need some bed rest, and I'm here to help. Just follow me."

Serena glared at Ash, and looked him from top to bottom multiple times. She then pulled a coin out of her pocket and flipped it. It landed on tails. She nodded her head and put the coin back into her pocket.

"F-fine," she stuttered. "But only if we get t-to discussss something interesting along the w-way, like, like, liiiiiiiiike... Anti-Federalism."

"Okay, Serena. Follow me, and we'll talk about Anti-Federalism as much as you want." said Ash calmly, walking towards the door. Serena followed, bumping into a couple people on the way out.

"So, all in all, Anti-Federalism c-could be considered one of the causes f-for the American Civil War." said Serena. "The southern s-states were supporters of states' rights, while the northern ones were in favor of a strong federal g-government."

"Wow Serena, that was really interesting." said Ash with fake enthusiasm. He was driving back to Serena's dorm, and his eyes were on the road. He had purposely made Serena sit in the back seat, since having someone like her sit next to him in the passenger's seat was a hazard. Overall, she had been pretty manageable for the whole ride, but that was because she was talking about governments and philosophies, things she only enjoyed talking about when drunk. But now that their conversation had seemingly come to an end, he had to stay on high alert. He looked at the rear-view mirror to check on Serena. Much to his surprise and discomfort, she was already looking back at him. He quickly looked back at the road, but it was too late. He had been spotted.

"Hey Ash..." said Serena slowly.

"Yeah Serena?"

"You know... y-you're p-pretty handsome. Reeeaalllly pretty handsome."

...

Ash stared straight ahead at the road, pretending that he had never heard Serena's compliment.

"Y-y'know, I'd even go so f-far as to c-call you hot, in y-your own neeeeeeerdy little way." purred Serena. Ash ignored her again. She pouted. "Heeyyyyyyy... say somethinggggg... When someone speaks to you, you should ANSWER!"

"Well what exactly do you want me to say?" replied Ash sharply. He sounded annoyed.

"I dunno..." giggled Serena loudly. "Hey Ashy... h-"

"You aren't allowed to call me that." snapped Ash. "May and only May can call me that."

"Y'know, no one's h-here... it's just you and I. I th-think that we could do something together."

Chills went through Ash's spine, because he immediately knew what Serena meant by 'do something together'. One of his eyes twitched slightly, and he frowned even more than he already was.

"She's not herself right now. She's not herself right now. She's not herself right now. She's not herself right now..."

"No." replied Ash coldly. "Not in a million years."

"Ugh!" grunted Serena, kicking the back of Ash's chair. "Y-you're no funnn... But c'mon, I'd b-bet a bazillion dollars that Red and May do stuff behind our backs... We should get sweet revenge... and make love t-to eachother every night. In secret, of course."

"I'd bet an infinite amount of dollars that they don't have sex behind our backs, and that you're just so drunk that you've reached a state of delirium." retorted Ash, aggravated. His patience was running to an all-time low, and if he didn't distract her with something soon, he might have just jumped out of the car. But luckily, a perfect idea came to mind. He looked in the rear-view mirror, and of course, Serena was already looking right back at him. She winked and blew him a kiss. He cringed slightly, shook off the discomfort, and put on a fake smile. And then, in the kindest tone he could muster, he said, "Hey Serena, let's play a game. Why don't you count the amount of blue cars we drive past? When we get back to your dorm, tell me."

"F-f-ffffuck blue cars! I'm counting the silver ones."

Ash rolled his eyes. "Whatever floats your boat."

"You d-dumbass, we're in a car, not a boat."

"Sorry." murmured Ash. "How much did she drink? I've heard the stories, but I didn't think she'd be THIS much of an issue when drunk. She's trying to have an affair with me. I'm not an expert on alcoholic beverages, but whatever she took must have reeeeaaaaallly fucked her up. She's beyond help right now. I just have to get her back to her dorm, and make sure she doesn't kill anyone. I would say that I'd sleep in May's bed that night to make sure she doesn't escape, but I don't think it's a very good idea to sleep in the same room as Serena tonight. Yeah, that's a terrible idea."

With Serena occupied, the rest of the car ride went by in wonderful silence. Occasionally, Serena would let out a mysterious giggle, but Ash decided to ignore them, since responding to any of her actions would surely result in more of her antics.

Finally, they both arrived at the dorms. Ash parked his car, and exhaled. The journey was almost over. All he had to do was get Serena into her dorm, lock her in, and victory would be his. He turned his head, a relieved smile on his face.

"Okay Serena, how many silver cars did you se-"

Before Ash could answer, he felt a hand reach from the back seat and cover his mouth. He then felt another hand slowly slither onto his shoulder, giving it a very unskilled massage. Ash's eyes widened, and he looked at the rear view mirror. She had to be directly behind him, because he couldn't see her. But he could hear her. He could hear her giggling.

"H-how many silver cars I c-counted?" whispered Serena. "Sixty-fucking-nine."

She began to giggle some more, and Ash took that as a chance to pry her hands off his mouth. Using both his hands, he removed her hand from his face, giving him time to speak.

"Serena, don't touch m-"

"Shut up!" shouted Serena, placing her hand over Ash's mouth again. "You and I aren't leaving this c-car... until cerrrrrtain parameters are met."

When Serena shouted, she woke the third living thing in the car, who had been sleeping soundly on the floor of the passenger's seat. Pikachu opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw were Serena's hand wrapped tightly around Ash's mouth. Ash looked at Pikachu, with pleading eyes. Just from Ash's look, Pikachu knew exactly what to do.

"Piiiiikaaaaa..." started Pikachu, sparks already flying off his cheeks.

But before the electric pokemon could finish his battle cry, Serena pulled out a pokeball from God-knows-where and threw it at Pikachu, capturing the mouse.

"No Pika... Pikach... um, Pichu, you cant join Ash and I..." laughed Serena.

"Swerena ghet awhay fwom me!" commanded Ash, his voice muffled by Serena's hands.

"No." replied Serena, removing her hands from Ash's mouth. With the dexterity of a ninja, Serena quickly grabbed both of Ash's wrists with one hand, the other still on his mouth. "Now, l-let's get this operation underwaaaaaayyyyy..."

Ash's eyes widened, realizing that Serena hadn't been counting silver cars at all. She had been thinking of a perfect plan to force him into having sex with her, which was why she had been giggling every few minutes. Ash sighed.

"Crap... She's got both my wrists in her grip... how can I escape?"

Suddenly, Ash felt Serena's hand remove itself from his mouth. Immediately after, he heard some shuffling sounds in the back seat.

"Serena... what are you doing?" asked Ash, fearing the worst.

"Oh nothing, j-just getting something for you... aha! Here it is! Hold on a sec..."

There was a popping sound. Suddenly, the smell of fine wine filled the air. Ash's eyes widened for what felt like the millionth time that night.

"Where did she get more alcohol from?! I don't drink, why would wine be in my ca-... RED!"

Ash silently cursed his twin brother, as the wine that Serena had found in the back seat was Red's. A few days prior, Red had decided that he wanted to start a wine collection, and asked Ash to pick up some wine that he had ordered online. Ash had done just that, but when the time came to take the wine back to their room, he had forgotten it in the car. He regretted that.

"Serena," said Ash monotonously. "please, don't drink anymore. You're already drunk enough."

"You're sooooooo silly... don't you know that..." whispered Serena seductively as she leaned forward, bringing herself closer to Ash. The only thing between them was Ash's seat. "This is for you!"

Ash opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped before he could speak. As soon as his mouth opened, Serena shoved the bottle of wine in, allowing it to pour into Ash's mouth. Ash could do nothing but swallow, the bitter taste filling his whole mouth. He struggled the free himself from the nightmare, but Serena's grip on his wrists was unbreakable.

"That's it..." she cooed evilly. "It's almost done..."

Ash looked at the bottle, and realized that she was right. The bottle was almost empty, all of the contents having gone down his throat. Once the wine was finished, Serena removed the bottle from Ash's mouth and released her hold on him. As soon as he was free, Ash took the car keys out of the ignition and reached for the door handle. But he was having trouble getting his hand to grab the handle. The wine's effects were already setting in, due to the fact that Serena had forced him to chug it.

"Dammit... this isn't good... I just have to get out of the car, and lock her in. I just gotta lock her in... before I'm completely drunk..."

Ash tried to reach for the door handle again, but found it to be one of the most difficult things he had ever done. Every time he thought he had it, he didn't. With each second, he lost more and more control, and it wasn't soon before the usual traits of a drunk person started to become apparent. Serena seemed to be waiting patiently in the back seat, most likely waiting for Ash to give up. Luckily for her, he did just that after a full minute of failed attempts to open the door.

"Fuuuuuuck this dooooor..." groaned Ash. "It won't fucking open! Like, what kind of door doesn't fucking open?!"

"I dunnooo... it seems like we're locked in..." replied Serena.

"FUCK!" roared Ash, punching the steering wheel.

"That's an awwwwwwesome idea..." said Serena, tugging on Ash's shirt.

No longer himself, Ash turned around and looked at Serena. If he wasn't intoxicated, he would have either screamed, turned red, or both. Serena was completely naked, her clothes scattered all over the back seat. She had a smile on her face, but it wasn't the smile he was used to seeing. It was a big, toothy grin, and her eyes weren't fully open. Her hair was a mess, many stray stands falling onto her face, giving her a wild look. She tugged on his shirt some more, and Ash, silent as a mouse, simply climbed into the back seat.

"Like what you seeeee?" asked Serena in a sultry voice, her cyan eyes on Ash's brown ones.

"Yes-no... yeah, noooo... yes." said Ash confusedly. Once in the back seat, he looked at Serena again, making sure she was actually naked. She was. He took his glasses off, and rubbed his eyes, once again thinking he was hallucinating. As he rubbed his eyes, Serena took his glasses from his hand and threw them into the front seat, out of Ash's reach. Ash, fully drunk, looked at Serena in disappointment. "The fuck, Serena? Where in fuck's name are YOUR manners? E-earlier you were talking bullshit, saying I didn't have any... and here you are p-pulling crazy shit like that... Y-you see, you c-can't just throw a guy's glasses like tha-"

Serena pushed Ash onto his back, and climbed on top of him. Her mouth collided with his, pulling Ash into a kiss that he never fathomed could happen. Ash simply kissed back, with just as much intensity. His glasses were off, and the car was dark. The combination of darkness, blurry vision, and alcohol had given Ash a completely different view on Serena. It looked like May. A small part of him tried to reason that May was away on a trip, but a large part of him decided that logic was for losers, and that he was currently kissing May, his girlfriend. Deciding to believe the larger part, Ash's hands immediately clamped into Serena's ass, giving off a drunken laugh as he did it.

They remained for what felt like days, sloppily sucking each other's lips off, until Serena decided to change things up. She stopped the kiss and sat up, giving her a great view of 19 year-old man she was currently perched on. His hair had gotten messier during the kiss, and he had a distant, elated smile on his face. He began to laugh like an idiot again, and this made Serena start to giggle too. As she giggled, she started to childishly tug at Ash's neon green t-shirt. Ash took off the shirt, and threw it at Serena's face.

"You are suuuuuch a jerk..." giggled Serena as she removed the shirt from her face.

"Heheheheheheh... this is fun. Should I... um, should I... fuck, should I take these off too?" asked Ash, pointing to his black jeans. "Cuz I wanna take 'em off..."

"Nooooo, stupid. I'm gonna t-take them off."

"Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? I wanna take them offffffff!"

"Well tooooooo bad, I'm taking them off..." said Serena as she slid off of Ash's legs, removing herself from his body.

As soon as she got off Ash, she began to undo his belt at an incredibly fast rate. Once it was off, she slowly pulled his pants off, letting out a (what sounded at the time) sexy laugh as she did it. Ash simply watched, his face straight. As she pulled his pants down his legs, Serena made eye contact with Ash, and kept it. She grinned, and Ash scratched his head.

"Ahhh... rrrr...Never mind... it's way more hot when you t-take them off..."

Serena nodded her head.

"Hey Ashy..." sang Serena. "Remember how many s-silver cars I sawww?"

"Um... wait, I know this... uhhh, I think... I think it was 69... ohohohoh... 69..."

";)"

":D"

From then on, the rest of the night was a blur, filled with moans, groans, screams, and yelps. In their drunken stupor, Serena and Ash had done something which they never thought possible. Whether it was the alcohol or not, there was no excuse for what they did, but neither of them could think of the consequences; Only the hot, steamy, scandalous activities that they were partaking in. After all the foreplay, the two went on to the main event. But by the time they had reached that, their brains were just piles of mush and alcohol. They finished pretty quickly, both of them losing consciousness in quick succession.

"And that's all I remember!" shouted Serena frantically, putting her clothes on.

"Oh my godddd..." said Ash, panic filling his voice. He had quickly dressed himself while Serena explained the events of the night before. "Serena, do you have any idea what we've done?!"

"No, I don't." said Serena sarcastically.

"Well I'll tell you!" cried Ash, turning to Serena. He clearly didn't pick up on the sarcasm. "We cheated on Red and May! We're terrible people! We're monsters! How are we gonna live with ourselves knowing that we've betrayed the ones who love u-"

"Ash!" shouted Serena, silencing the panicking student. "Calm down. Yes, we did something really, really bad last night. But you have to remember, we weren't ourselves. We were drunk, and when you're drunk, you do stupid things."

"Yeah but-"

"No buts." said Serena assertively, grabbing Ash by the shoulders. "You and I are going to forget this happened. We are going to head to our dorms, shower, and wash away all leftover memories of last night. When Red and May ask what we did last night, we say that we just hung out in my room and didn't go to the party. Got it?"

"Got it. But we can't force ourselves to forget it though... it's going to be in the back of our minds forever..."

"I didn't mean to literally forget it. I don't think we'll ever be able to forget a night like that. But not speaking about it will make it less awkward."

Fully clothed, Serena reached for the car door, planning on leaving. Ash simply watched, her go. Serena, the girl who he'd always seen as May's high maintenance, and sometimes mean, twin sister. The girl who he'd never, ever even considered to be sexy. The girl who usually only spoke to him when she needed to insult him or give him some kind of advice. The girl who, while drunk, had lured him into sex.

Just then, an important question popped into Ash's mind. It wasn't a question that could have been saved for later either. It had to be asked right then and there.

"Serena, wait." said Ash, grabbing Serena's hand.

Serena turned her head towards Ash, surprisingly undisturbed by Ash's hand touching hers. "Hm?"

"You seem to remember a lot more about last night than I do... I just have to ask... was I better at you-know-what than Red?"

"... I hate you." replied Serena dryly, yanking her hand free from Ash's.

"Wait, I have another question!" said Ash.

"Choose your next words wisely." warned Serena darkly.

"Why were you so bent on having sex with me last night? I get that you were drunk, but still... it seems kind of odd, don't ya think?"

"So let me get this straight; you fell down a flight of stairs, face first, twice?" asked May, examining Ash's bruised face.

"Yeah, stairs..." replied Ash monotonously, watching Serena out of the corner of his eye. She nodded in approval, her face straight and unforgiving.

"Wow, must have been a crazy night." laughed May.

"Yeah..." said both Ash and Serena, both staring off into the distance.

Okay, done. I'm sure some of you are probably upset that I didn't make this a lemon, but I just didn't want to write one. I dunno, I just didn't think that it had to be written in detail, just enough for the reader to know what happened.

Anyway, here's the hint for the next one.

May and Serena both quietly walked through the store, neither really feeling like speaking. Finally, they reached the aisle they had come to look through. The books. They both looked on the shelves, and after a few minutes of searching, May spotted what they were looking for. She handed the book to Serena.

The title of the book? "How to Be A Parent."

Seeya next time.
