Gots some more of this for you peoples.

Chapter 21:

As she stood outside the club, Vanille couldn't help but frown at the fact that she at least knew that this was going to be slightly alright. Namely if just because she was going to be able to at least think this entire night through. There was a number of things wrong and she just knew it.

The fact the reason this was feeling so wrong was jumping up and down next to her clapping her hands trying to drag the remaining two people towards the club, it was becoming an annoyance to her, but she knew that there was next to nothing that can happen.

"Come on Vanille... let's go talk to some pretty ladies. Serah and Light are going to take forever to get here." Lumina said as she continued to paw at Vanille's arm just causing her to take a deep breath as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Lumina, I'm going to give you some of the best advice right now. Shut up." Vanille said as she turned a little to glare at the woman. "And I don't mean it like I clearly previously did when I said don't tell anyone about who I'm dating which was meant to include your uncle. I mean whenever you speak like that, it might work for men but doesn't work for women." Vanille continued as the younger twin just rolled her eyes as she cracked her neck. "Seriously, if I didn't know you and wasn't currently dating someone, I would gladly fuck you... especially with those abs. But you always open your mouth and it just ruins everything for you. Just answer the questions you get asked. Don't come off as a desperate lesbian virgin... not many girls like that."

At the sight of the eye roll, Vanille quickly turned to see Serah and Lightning having made it most of the way to them. Before Lumina could get the chance to make some statement about how she was meant to do the single thing Vanille practically begged of her, she just knew that she would have to relieve Serah of walking with her sister.

If it was just a case of she'd be able to get away from Lumina for a while longer so she wouldn't begin to fifth guess her deal with the woman. But every time she was close to Lightning it just kept reminding Vanille of the old movies Lightning enjoyed showing her of sacrificing a woman to please a god... but she also knew that it was going to be worth it.

Coming to a stop, Vanille just smiled as she separated Serah from Lightning and latched onto Lightning side as though to speed it up. "I can't stand talking to Lumina right now. She is acting like a kid on that stupid Cocoon holiday where everything closes and leaves people like Fang and me annoyed." Vanille said as she could see Serah just groan again.

"You mean Christmas? And I still don't see why I need to come. If I don't want to exactly drink with my sisters... Claire is a buzz kill because she always stops Lumina and me before we get drunk because she views us still as the babies... and Lumina is... Lumina." Serah complained as she took a few extra steps forward as Vanille just felt Lightning just joyfully hold her.

"You don't need to drink or even be there long. You owe Fang a talk about what happened the last time you two got drunk together. Because I don't even need to be in our apartment to know that Fang has already nearly removed a wall from beating it. Something Zack clearly agrees with." Vanille said as she could see Serah just deflate at what she knew was going to happen if she left early. "Also yes... that stupid holiday. But go make sure Lumina doesn't run in." Vanille added as she pointed towards the woman off in the distance.

As Serah sighed and started to walk off towards Lumina a bit quicker than the speed she had been walking, Vanille just couldn't help but frown but she also knew that she was going to be fine really. She just wished the woman holding onto her arm wasn't the beautiful woman she worked so hard previously to be given a chance, and wished even more that the goddess holding onto her wasn't her current girlfriend asking for the right to cheat on her.

But she knew that if anyone could be a third wheel that could sink any woman's thoughts of going to bed with someone was Lumina. So that really was her best bet. A bet that would be even easier to make really if Lightning got some sense that her and Vanille were dating.

"I still don't think Lebreau's is the place to go for a gay bar... isn't it mostly just a beach club?" Lightning asked, as she started to walk unhindered. She wasn't sure what it was about Vanille, but just the stiffness of her leg was removed that made Lightning feel a lot better.

"Technically yes. But it is kind of synonymous with gay bar. Especially on a theme night like tonight..." Vanille began with a small sight as she could see Lightning next to her turn her head a little as if asking the question that Vanille just had to chuckle at. "It is Electric Six tonight. Which while I think the music is bad, and knowing Lebreau it is a hat on a hat... it would get a number of people to go just because it is something different." Vanille said as she could see Lightning just nod. A nod that she knew from experience was Lightning not really understanding but not really wanting more clarification. One that just made Vanille feel a lot better about the situation.

Closing her eyes and talking a deep breath as they walked past Lumina and Serah into the bar, Vanille just had to pray that Lumina was going to be as annoying as she normally was. It was the safest bet she could make.

With the arm sliding from her own, Vanille took a deep breath as she could only feel her urge to snap at the hand, but knew that she couldn't. At least not without opening up so many more curious questions that she didn't want to answer.

At least for now she just had to accept the music followed by her friends walking in behind her. It shouldn't but it did give her the confidence to just continue on with the plan. Maybe she was just worrying over nothing. Even though she doubted that would be the case given how Vanille just knew she'd be hard pressed to find a single lesbian that wasn't attracted to Lightning. Especially for a one night stand.

Everything about the pink haired woman was just something that constantly reminded her of the old Pulse story of how a single woman's beauty was enough to start wars. She had no doubt that Lightning should be on that level at least.

Seeing her oldest friends slumped against the bar Vanille just shook her head knowing it wasn't a case form her being drunk and more of a case of her just trying to hide. "Serah, go talk to Fang. Lumina... remember what I told you... shut up. And remember what you promised your uncle and you aren't drinking... Light... let's go to the bar." Vanille said as she frowned at how quickly Lumina nearly vanished. It just raised some questions as to where she went but Vanille just knew that it wouldn't be long before she could find where the woman was.

"I don't know Van... she looks pretty drunk." Serah said as Vanille just sighed as she gestured for Light to walk towards the bar, causing her to pray that in that short distance she wasn't going to be hit on by some woman. Vanille just knew that she didn't have the heart to see that at this moment. Turning towards Serah, Vanille just took another deep breath as to hopefully calm her nerves enough as so she wouldn't just blatantly smack Serah upside the head.

"Serah, one that isn't her drunk. If she was drunk she'd be on the floor or trying to make out with some girl sitting next to her. Two you need to talk to her. She is trying to hide because she either is feeling the same way as you are right now or and this is more likely she just thinks your mad at her. If you want to go home early all you have to do is go up and talk to her about what happened. It will do the both of you good. Plus if you don't remember it, Fang will. I swear she has a shit memory for things sober, but once it is said or done to her drunk she can't help but remember it. It is actually a little funny if you ever get the chance to put it to the test... I suggest with something embarrassing of Lumina to get revenge."

"Why do you always have to do this? I'm sure Fang isn't that bad... maybe she'll get over it soon. Same with me." Serah laughed out in what Vanille knew was clearly her being uneasy, but also knew that this was a case of her friend trying to find a way out of a situation with reason.

It was something that Vanille easily spotted given the fact of how long Serah had been trying to do the same thing ever since she was told that Fang was going to be there and that she had to go. And Vanille just knew that she couldn't let up on this single point.

"Serah, neither of us believe that. So what if you were naked. That doesn't mean a thing unless you felt turned on. Otherwise all you are doing is hurting Fang by this lying to yourself and not actually addressing what happened." Vanille said smiling at the sight of Light just sitting at the bar keeping a seat next to her clear from people which just made what was to come a lot easier.

"Fine. I'll go and talk to her... you just make sure that I don't see Lebreau. I'm still mad at her." Serah said as she started to stomp like a child towards the pulse woman that Vanille knew was dreading what was happening. Just because of how Serah was acting. Something that if Vanille was being honest it did make sense as to why she'd be terrified.

Sighing a little as she shook her head, it was a case that she knew that there was nothing that could be done. Fang and Serah both needed this time to actually talk about what happened. And she just knew that depending on who was the first to leave would depend on how well it was talked about.

Taking a deep breath, Vanille gave a quick look and smiled at the sight of Lumina talking calmly with a group of women just causing her to sigh at the advice she gave her just going over her head. But at least for now she wasn't entirely needed. Vanille might even be able to get through the night and if Lightning might get drunk enough her body might get just as handsy as it has in the past. Just the thought of that was getting Vanille all kinds of giddy.

Clearing her throat a little just to snap herself out of it, Vanille walked towards the seat Light had left her and smiled at Lebreau standing there with a smirk on her face. Something that Vanille just had a gut feeling that it was about seeing Serah and Fang.

Something that if Vanille was being honest she was just as ecstatic by. This way everyone won, even if Serah just wanted to stay being friends with Fang. It would still work out and Vanille knew that Fang would eventually get over it. A thing that Vanille knew was hard, but she also knew how the Farron sisters did seem to give everything a chance so she also knew that Serah may finally give Fang that one date.

"I got you an appletini..." Lightning said as Vanille just smiled at the woman remembering her favourite drink. Even if she didn't exactly remember the time Vanille told her, it was still nice to know that that much got through.

"Thank you Light." Vanille began as she quickly hugged the woman before she turned a little to see Lebreau about to walk away. "By the way Lebreau... you might want to avoid Serah. She is still mad about the whole you nearly letting Lightning kill herself." As Vanille spoke that she laughed a little at the quick spin the woman gave as so she could avoid the duo across the bar a lot easier.

As Lebreau continued on her new path, Vanille couldn't help but giggle at the single gesture. It was as though woman knew exactly what was going to happen if she had decided to attempt to call Vanille's comment out. Something that the red head was positive everyone in Bodhum has seen what the one woman could swing, if not her one of the remaining Farron sisters would gladly make those swings.

"When did you tell me that appletinis were your favourite?" Lightning asked as she raised the brown bottle to her lips to take a swig before lowering it down again just enjoying the gasped shock from Vanille. She wasn't sure what was so appealing behind it but she could also feel herself wanting her to make different types of that same expression.

Sensing the question Vanille was trying to get out as she started to flail her mouth in expressions without a sound coming out, Lightning just had to chuckle herself as she spoke up. "From the memories I do have and from what I've witnessed, I know your reaction when someone gets you something that is your favourite." Lightning's chuckle just seemed to deepen into laughter as she could see Vanille start to puff her cheeks out in a pout. "That is an adorable face though." Lightning continued as she raised the bottle to her lips once more.

Before Vanille could really respond she could see the seat on the other side of Lightning quickly get taken by Lumina sulking as she crossed her arms and laid down on the counter almost as if she was just ready to get the night over with. "Why do women always go for the bitch smack? It was a legitimately interesting fact."

"What did you say?" Vanille asked as she bent forward as to address Lumina properly. "Also I told you to just shut up and let the woman do the talking." Vanille continued laughing a little at the sight of a small red along her cheek from the clear smack one of the women she was previously talking to delivered to her.

"No one likes it when someone says I told you so. And all I did was mention that there is a single bridge on Gran Pulse and Cocoon that dogs like to commit suicide by jumping off of." Lumina said as Vanille and Lightning just glared at the girl. Glancing towards them, Lumina just rolled her eyes at the look in the two women. "What? It is an interesting fact. How a single bridge is like that and there is a history of dogs going there to kill themselves."

"I should beat you. I don't even have memories of any girlfriends and know that is stupid. But how could you think that was appropriate?" Lightning hissed at her sister as she lowered the bottle in her hands to just glare harshly at the woman. She couldn't believe she was actually contemplating beating her sister to death at this point. She wasn't even sure if she would feel bad about it.

"She was so pretty and I panicked in the lull in conversation and that was literally the first thing to pop into my head... and you were the one to tell me that." Lumina continued to sulk as Lightning sighed as she let go of the bottle and started to rub her eyes in great anger at her sister. Something she couldn't believe that this was a situation she was put in.

Groaning Vanille took a sip of the green liquid before she lowered it debating if it would be worth it to smack her friend. "Lumina, that is a prime example of just shutting up. If there is a lull in conversation don't talk about animals killing themselves. Talk about anything but that. Honestly I bet that doesn't even work on guys." Vanille said as she could see Lumina just continually pouting.

"Actually with the guys I'm normally around outside of family... show a bit of cleavage and they don't hear anything nearly. So it kind of does. Honestly I've asked for a few of their car keys before. All I needed was this dress and some hand lotion. Why is it so hard to get women?" Lumina said exhausted as she could see Vanille just rubbing her forehead in exhaustion.

"It isn't. You have looks, you just need to learn to shut up and actually how to talk to people. Something that Serah at least learned in highschool... you instead learned how to shotgun a forty ounce in the bathroom during a class." Vanille sighed as Lumina just knew what was to come forward.

Glaring towards Lumina, Lightning knew that she didn't previously know that one thing which was going to be something that once she knew more she would skin Lumina. "I never once shotgun a forty ounce in the bathroom during class. It was to get high. Huge difference. And it was only during math... or English... both of those are boring." Lumina corrected as she started to get more comfortable in her spot. "So when are you going to be my wingwoman Van? Because clearly I can't fly solo... and seriously I'll take anything right now... as long as I don't need to sit on my hand for a prolonged time."

Sighing Vanille sipped the green drink before her. "Let's wait for the red hand print to go down. Otherwise that will just make it even harder... and you remember to shut up."
