A.N/ The character Harper is being portrayed by Sarah Chalke. She plays Dr Elliot Reid on Scrubs and Dr Stella on How I Met Your Mother. See, doctors on two of my favourite shows!
Thank you all for the reviews, they are lovely as always!

"It was one simple rule: Don't get thrown in jail!"Harper scolded the two boys as she stood outside their jail cell.
Weevil and Logan looked guilty and just took the scolding.
It wasn't even their faults; it wasn't like they had gotten drunk and just started punching people for fun. No, it was Veronica and Parker who got drunk and it was the two dweebs that couldn't back off. They were doing the decent thing and protecting their girlfriends honour.
Veronica hadn't meant to get drunk but she was celebrating with everyone and she needed to distract herself from the fact that her boyfriend was having a heart to heart with his ex. The alcohol beverage had looked so tempting and when she tasted it, it tasted awesome; she couldn't stop drinking the pretty drinks with umbrellas.
She decided to have fun with her friends in celebration of Parker's birth. Everyone was doing the same except for Logan and Hannah.
Soon she was dancing with Parker and Mac, dancing the night away was what people called it. The drinks were intoxicating but the dances seemed to add to Veronica's hyperness. Veronica vaguely remembered seeing Dick pull Mac away. She figured Mac was safe with Dick so didn't object like Mac seemed to.
She didn't remember how but somehow things took a very 'Coyote Ugly' turn as she, Parker and a few other girls were dancing on the bar.
When the current song reached its chorus everyone sang:
"Last Friday night," It came out like a shout.
"Yeah we danced on tabletops," Veronica, Parker and every girl that was on the tabletops giggled at the truth in the words.
"And we took too many shots!"
As the Katy Perry's voice rang through their ears the two blondes took a shoot.
"Think we kissed but I forgot"
Parker mimicked the words and Veronica had a 'O' shape on her lips as if saying 'how dare you forget!'
"Last Friday night!" The voices got louder and the crowd got wilder.
"Yeah we maxed our credit cards," Veronica and Parker sang in union as they danced. "
"So we hit the boulevard."
Everyone was getting ready to shout out the next line.
"Last Friday night!" And scream they did as they through their hands in the air.
"We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a menage a trios"
This was when two guys climbed up on the bar to dance with them. Parker and Veronica hadn't noticed since they were facing each other and the guys were behind them.
"Last Friday night!" Once again everyone screamed the line out and the guys got closer to the oblivious drunk blondes. "
This was when Logan and Weevil entered. Despite the crowd their eyes landed on their respective blond girlfriend dancing on the bar with two guys that were way too close for comfort. "
Whoa-oh-oah"
They shoved through the crowd and called for their girlfriends attention. The two blondes were happy to see their boyfriends and laughed when they pulled them down though the two girls did not want to stop dancing.
"This Friday night
Do it all again"
The two guys that were dancing on the bar were not pleased, "Hey!" One of them called out grabbing Veronica and the other grabbing Parker.
"This Friday night
Do it all again"
"Let go off her," Logan snarled. Veronica's smiling face disappeared and so had Parkers when they heard Logan's tone.
"We saw them first," The other guy said pulling Parker. Weevil pulled Parker toward him when the guy didn't let go, Weevil punched the guy with his right hand and pulled Parker with his left.
The guy that held Veronica advanced toward Weevil, he clenched his fist to punch Weevil but Logan grabbed it and punched the guy in his stomach.
And that's how the fight began. Someone must have called the cops because the next thing they knew four guys were going to be bunk mates.
Surprisingly, the cops in Vegas seemed much more competent than the ones in Neptune. The cop that put them in lock up had noticed the anger in Logan and Weevil toward the other two; they separated the guys in pairs.
After two hours of much silence and calming down Weevil picked his head up and said, "Thanks man." He felt he owed it to him.
Logan lifted an eyebrow, defiantly not expecting those words directed toward him from Weevil.
"You had my back," Weevil added.
Logan shrugged, "Couldn't have them spreading word that you can mess with Neptune guys and especially our girls."
Weevil cracked a smirk. "Think they'll be pissed at us?"
"Probably but if they are we got a pretty valid comeback."
"They were piss drunk." Weevil added. He wasn't angry at them, he was kinda amused though he did not like the fact that they were dancing with other guys even if they didn't seem to realise it.
"Think they'll remember?"
"Don't know. Never seen either of them drunk," Weevil shrugged.
"Veronica gets drunk easily." He was going to add that she used to be like that with Lilly but he didn't want to get in another argument or fight.
"At least we get to say we got in a bar fight in Vegas and took trip to the cellar," Weevil said with a smirk.
"And all before we turned twenty!" Logan mock cheered and then let out a laugh. "We'll be legendary, I can see it now!"
"On the Vegas wall of fame," Weevil played along with his imagery.
Logan shook his head. "Small little Black books with our pictures on it," He whispered as if he was conspiring.
Weevil chuckled at Logan's voice interpretation. The guy wasn't so bad after all, who would have thought?
Harper went in to bail the two boys out by one in the morning. It' wasn't her fault that she didn't come to bail them out right away, she reasoned and then she let her guilt fall away when she realised they had broken her one rule; don't get thrown in jail. That rule was a rule for a reason; because Harper was avoiding a certain someone that was a cop. She knew that his shift would be over so she went in all by herself.
One of the cops came by and said, "Sorry M'am, I can't let 'em go."
"Why the hell not?" She was agitated, she didn't mean to sound aggressive. She wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
"Well you see, those guys wanna press charges, they say that these guys threw the first and they were defending themselves," He told her nervously. "I gotta take their statements as well," He indicated to Logan and Weevil.
Harper frowned with frustration and then looks at the cop. "Bobby, you think I'd bail these guys out if they were wrong?"
He looked down but mumbled, "It's routine."
"It's a minor crime. There was no use of weapon use, and besides those guys are lying, because I know for a fact that those guys were grabbing my guests and these boys were defending them," Harper's voice held anger, she was glad that Logan and Weevil defended Veronica and Parker in their drunken state, but she wasn't going to tell them that.
"M'am," He always called her that. "Punishment is usually 6 months of jail time or community service. Or $1000 bails each, for the 'minor' battery charge. But now that those other boys are charging them..."
"Yes," Harper dragged out in thought. "But aren't the battery charges when for example they beat those boys up without the boys hitting back?" Harper questioned.
"Yeah," Bobby nodded.
"But they did fight back."
"Yes. I see your point," He conceded. "But now-"
"I understand, they are pressing charges," Harper really wanted to yell at those two boys. "But I cannot leave them here. So how about I post bail. You take their statements and if there's still a case we'll handle it," She compromised.
Bobby looked unsure; he was here only for a month, newbie as they called him. "You takin' responsibility?"
"Yes."
"A'yt I'll call the Sherriff." Bobby said heading out.
Harper sighed in relief. The boys looked at her with a mixture of admiration and stun.
Bobby came back in five minutes followed by another man.
"Harper?" A familiar voice called out.
Crap, she thought. She turned around with a nervous smile on her lips and she said, "Hey Leo." Followed by a curtsy wave that looked a little too guilty.
Logan recognised the guy in his new cop suit; wasn't he that dude that Veronica danced with at the Total Eclipse of the Heart dance? Don't ask him how he remembered that but he knew he hadn't liked it when that dude was all over Veronica.
~~VM~~
A.N/ Betcha weren't expecting Leo, were you?
BTW: whatever laws I used here, according to Google they are real.
Also I know Veronica doesn't get drunk but special occasions, right? Also, this time she was with Parker and knew Logan was there and Weevil had a very close eye on them. Plus they were in Harper's hotel. I just wanted her to let loose and have some fun, and not get green eyed about Logan talking to Hannah, she needed a distraction but it was all innocent.
And finally what do you think about Harper?
