Prompt 22: Date Night (Birdie Church/Veronica Santangelo/Christine Royce)

Hey there all of you wonderful and amazing readers, welcome back to Mojave Snapshots. I'd love to give a big shout out to ZarduHasselfrau for their amazing review! I really greatly appreciate it and it means a lot to me that you left a review, so thank you so much Zardu. Anyway, on with the story!

I do not own Fallout: New Vegas, that belongs to Bethesda and Obsidian.

"...and then the farmer says, that's not my wife, that's my Bighorner!" Veronica stated, before collapsing into fits of laughter.

Birdie and Christine couldn't help but groan at Veronica's latest joke, although the Courier was trying to hide the smile on her face. While the wine they had had might have made them a lot more relaxed, but this date night had just been so much fun. Good food, good drinks and some good-ish jokes.

"Ronnie, that was pretty bad." Christine stated, shaking her head. "Even for your joke standards."

Veronica turned to shoot her a look, eyebrow raised and a cheeky smile evident on her face. With the deep blue dress she currently was wearing, Veronica just looked absolutely gorgeous. Birdie couldn't help but smile as she remembered the first time Veronica laid eyes on that dress, the wide-eyed look and high-pitched squeal, followed by a bone-crushing hug. It had been a bitch to find a dress in good condition in this hellish wasteland, but damn was it worth it to get a reaction like that.

"You alright there, Birdie?" Christine asked, derailing the Courier's train of thought.

Birdie quickly shook her head and offered her two lovers a small smile. "I'm alright, I've just been thinking. You know how I can be."

"Bird, you gotta cut loose. I'm surprised your brain hasn't short-circuited, with all the thinking you do." Veronica teased, giving Birdie a playful tap on the shoulder. "Tonight is a night to just have fun, get wasted and then wake up tomorrow in bed with a splitting headache."

A small silence fell between the trio, as Birdie seemingly contemplated what Veronica had just said. Birdie then grabbed her glass of whiskey and downed it in a single gulp. The drink left a burning sensation in her throat and a warm feeling pooling in her stomach, quenching a thirst she didn't know had existed. The Courier looked over at her two lovers, and saw the smiling faces of Veronica and Christine.

"I guess we can have a bit of fun tonight." Christine stated, as she also reached for her drink.

"See? I knew you two would come around to my way of thinking." Veronica chuckled, a wide grin on her face.

And Prompt 22 of Mojave Snapshots is done and dusted. Remember, if you have been enjoying this series so far, do not be afraid to leave a review and let me know what you have been liking so far! Anyway, I hope to see all of you wonderful readers soon.
