A/N: Big thanks to Linds, who helped me some much in the last week. Love ya hun! Thank you :-)
'So what are you guys up to this weekend?' Olivia's friend Michelle asked. It was the first time Michelle had visited since their last encounter at Central Park before Jack and Karen got together.
'Oh, we're staying at Will and Grace's tomorrow night.' Olivia replied to Michelle, as they walked down Fifth Avenue.
'That sounds… boring?' Michelle replied.
'Are you kidding? Will and Grace's friends are gonna be there too so we'll end up playing parlour games, which is always fun.' Olivia said. 'We might even join in this time. We usually sit out because Will and Grace are really scary when they play games. But since it's just me, Mason and Elliot that are going to Will and Grace's we might need to join in to make up numbers or something. Whatever excuse they come up with to make us join in.'
'Why is it just you, Mason and Elliot going?'
''Cause Jack and Karen are going out to dinner and, well, Will and Grace's is the safest place to escape to.'
'Who are Jack and Karen again?'
'Remember, the last time you were in New York, I told you. Jack was carrying Karen on his back and- '
'Oh yeah, I remember now.' Michelle realised. 'So, why are you saying Will and Grace's is the safest place to escape to?'
Olivia thought for a second. 'I haven't brought you up to speed yet, have I?'
Michelle shook her head. Olivia wondered then if she had forgot to tell Michelle about Jack and Karen because she was that used to it, or because it wasn't really that different to before Jack and Karen were a couple.

'My Aunt Honey's stomach.'
'Things that are stapled.' Will answered.
'Time!' Mason shouted.
It had been agreed that Mason would be the timekeeper. No, actually, Mason had volunteered to be timekeeper. That way he wouldn't embarrass himself.
'Surprise surprise. Will and Grace are in the lead. Next up: Rob and Ellen.' Mason declared.
---
At the same time as Rob and Ellen were facing their certain torture at the hands of Will and Grace, Jack and Karen were waiting for their desserts.
'So what do you think is going on Will and Grace's?' Karen asked, just before taking a sip of her wine.
'My guess is… Rob and Ellen are fighting back tears caused by Will and Grace.' Jack answered.
'Yeah, that sounds about right.' Karen laughed. Karen put her wine glass back on the table, accidentally knocking her napkin off of the table. 'Oops.' Karen said, leaning over to pick up the napkin and not noticing Jack putting something into the glass of wine. 'God, I'm such a klutz.'
'Yeah.' Jack said, nodding in agreement. 'You are.'
'You're not supposed to agree with me!' Karen laughed, oblivious to the danger in her drink.
'I'm just going to the bathroom. I'll be back in a few minutes.' Jack said leaving the table, unable to watch the results of his contamination to Karen's drink.
'Okay, honey.' Karen said, turning to look out of the restaurant window. A short while later, Karen went to take another sip of wine, not looking at her glass as she lifted it.
'Honey I wouldn't drink that.' The person sitting at the next table said to Karen, who gave the other diner the 'And why not?' look. 'The guy you were sitting with put something in it a few minutes ago.'
'What?' Karen said, shocked. 'What did he put in my glass?' Karen asked, not wanting to look at her glass. Surely, he wouldn't spike my drink, Karen thought to herself. Would he?
'I don't know. He just slipped something in there.' The person said, turning back round to their own meal.
Karen closed her eyes tightly, hoping that what she was imagining was far from the truth. Opening her eyes, she looked into the glass. She saw and lifted out a small metal object.
'Oh… my god.'
---
'Cheese!' Ellen shouted to Rob. 'Your feet!'
'Ellen, give me more clues!'
'Bad breath!'
'Ding ding. Time out.' Mason announced.
'Things that smell Rob!' Ellen said, sounding annoyed.
'Wait...my feet don't smell...' Rob said sitting back down.
'Okay, so Rob and Ellen scored… nothing. It's Mo and Mary – I mean Joe and Larry's turn now.' Mason joked.
'So, do you think we can kick these guys asses?' Elliot whispered to Olivia.
'Rob and Ellen are no problem to beat. Joe and Larry, yeah they won't be any problem.' Olivia said. 'It's Will and Grace's asses we want to kick.'
'Think we can do it?'
'Will and Grace are gonna get the biggest ass-kicking there ever was.'
---
When Jack returned from the bathroom some five minutes later, he found Karen staring at the small metal object he'd put into her glass.
'Um, Karen?'
Karen seemed to blank Jack.
'Hello. Anybody in there?'
'What…the?' Karen asked in a daze.'
'It's a key.'
'Yeah but… what?' Karen was still staring at the wine-soaked key.
'It's a key.'
'But…' You could almost see the rhetoricalwheels working in Karen's head. 'What?'
'I thought that… maybe… we could… live together?' Jack said, sounding nervous.
'Water.' Karen said, in a raspy tone. 'Give me water. Or a vodka shot.' Karen thought for a second. 'Actually I don't want to be hammered. So make that water shots.'
---
'Ids. Cher. Michael Jackson.' Joe said.
'Things that are plastic?' Larry guessed.
'No. Our Marriage.'
'Things that are fake!' Larry shouted.
'Correct.'
'Time is up!' Mason said. 'Now with only one more pair to play, Rob and Ellen are in last place, Joe and Larry second and, would you Adam and Eve it, Will and Grace are in the lead. Elliot and Liv, you're up next.'
'Wipe the smug smiles off of their faces.' Ellen muttered under her breath, but loud enough for everyone else to hear.
'And… go!' Mason shouted, signalling for Olivia and Elliot to start.
---
After a few shots of water, Karen finally managed to speak. 'Are you being serious?'
'What do you think?' Jack asked.
'I think I need another fake vodka shot.'
'Look I know it's sudden, and that we've only been together a few months but we've know each other for years and years and I know you know as well as I know that we're perfect for each other and that we spend every minute we can together, so why not live together?'
'Yes. Karen said.
'What?' Jack asked.
'Yes, let's live together!' Karen nearly yelled. 'Wait a minute, wait a minute. Hold the phone. Did you buy a house?'
'No.' Jack said sheepishly.
'Then, what's this key for?'
'It', uh, it's the key for my locker at the gym.' Jack said, looking down at the floor.
'You ass!'
---
'Crowds. Music. Grace's closet!' Elliot yelled.
'Things that are loud!' Olivia answered, looking directly at Grace as she answered.
'Correct!'
Elliot and Olivia were seriously scaring the hell out of Will and Grace. Their position as Game Night Champions was under threat.
'Candles.' Elliot said.
'Things that burn.' Neither Elliot not Olivia noticed Jack and Karen enter Will and Grace's apartment.
'Houses. Walls.' Elliot said.
'I don't know. Give me another clue!'
'Karen!'
'THINGS THAT ARE STONED!' Olivia yelled. They got a huge fright when they heard Will and Grace's door slam. Elliot and Olivia turned around to see an angry look on Karen's face.
'Me and you.' Elliot said quietly.
'Things that are in crap.' Olivia answered. 'When is our time up?'
'About seven seconds ago.' Mason said. 'And good news. You have officially won game night.'
'I knew we could kick their asses.' Elliot said.
'We wanna play!' Karen shouted.
'Okay then. You're up now.' Will said.
'And… go!' Mason
'Will's thighs.' Jack said.
'Things that grow.' Karen answered.
'What else should I expect?' Will asked himself.
'Polyester. Policemen. Unattractive babies!'
'Things you run from.'
'Okay, next clue. Me and you.' Jack said.
'People who are moving in together.' Karen yelled.
'What! They got three clues and they're time isn't up yet!' Grace shouted.
'Uh, Gracie. I don't think they're playing the game!' Will said,
'Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!' Olivia yelled.
'Yeah, whoa!' Elliot said just as loudly
'What the hell?' Mason asked.
'Did they just steal our thing?' Ellen asked Rob.
'Yeah, I think they kinda did.' Rob replied.
'Wanna.'
'Explain.'
'That?' Olivia, Mason and Elliot said respectively.
'Well…'
Karen and Jack went on to explain what had happened at dinner. Once the explanation concluded, Olivia turned to look at Will and Grace.
'Can Elliot, Mason and I live here from now on?' She asked sarcastically.
'Yeah, cause now there's gonna be now getting away from them.' Elliot added in the same sarcastic manner.
'No.' Will and Grace answered simultaneously.
'Damn.' Mason said.
'Wow.' Olivia said.
'Wow what?' Elliot asked.
'How quickly things change.' Olivia said.
