A/N: Since I didn't post a chapter yesterday due to having a sick puppy. I wrote two chapters to post for today. This chapter is complete and total fluff to show the bond of the ladies of ME1. 3 Hope you enjoy it.

Girl's Club

She stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around her she walked to the mirror and began to detangle her short hair.

"Ugh. My hair is getting longer. Ash you good with a pair of scissors?" Emily asked Ashley as the other woman walked out of another stall with a towel wrapped around her.

"Sorry chica, I'm not. We could ask Liara and Tali but...I well...Liara doesn't exactly have hair and not sure what Tali's got under that helmet." Ashley teased as she also began to detangle her hair.

Emily let out a soft laugh and winced as her fingers encountered a tangle in the back of her head.

"Awe damnit!" She cursed out and let out a soft giggle as Ashley encountered the same problem.

Liara and Tali chose that moment to walk into the women's locker room to find both Ashley and Emily, fingers through their hair and giggling like school girls.

Seeing the two of them, both women doubled over and started laughing harder.

"What's so funny?!" Liara asked in shock.

Tali wrapped her hands around her waist and let out a soft giggle, seeing the two women on the floor laughing.

"You humans are strange!" She giggled and reached her hand out for Ashley to take.

Emily felt a smile spread across her face as Ashley easily took Tali's hand and allowed the alien girl to help her up. She had had some minor doubts when Ashley joined the crew but she was glad that Ashley has opened up and calmed down concerning the aliens on the ship.

Liara smiled and reached her hand out for Emily to take and help her up.

"So what was funny?" She asked again her blue eyes twinkling brightly.

"We were talking about how impossible it is to control our hair. It's getting longer and I need to cut mine but..."

"Doesn't it hurt? If you cut your hair?" Liara asked as she eyed the tangled strands of hair that flowed down Emily's head to her shoulders. She then turned her attention on Ashley's hair which was notably longer than Emily's.

"No, it doesn't. We don't feel anything from our hair, well aside from where its attached to the scalp." Emily said as she reached for a brush and began to run it through her hair.

Liara eyed her curiously, watching the brush run through Emily's hair.

"Here." Ashley said to Tali, handing her a hair brush.

Emily turned wide eyes to Ashley and Tali. Noting how Tali held the brush in her hand and from the tilt of her helmet, that she was looking at Ashley's hair.

Ashley gently took Tali's hand and brought it to head. "Start from the top and run it through to the bottom."

"Oh, wow your hair is so soft." Tali exclaimed as she ran the brush through Ashley's hair.

"My hair, isn't as soft but its there. Under my helmet." She giggled softly as she slowly brushed Ashley's hair.

"Yeah, I was wondering about that. I wish we could see your pretty face Tali but I know if you took off your helmet you could get sick or worse." Ashley said quietly while tossing a sweet smile at Tali.

Liara had already grabbed the brush from Emily and was brushing her hair. They turned to look at each other and smiled as they settled on the bench.

Outside of the women's locker room, Kaidan and Garrus leaned against the wall and shook their heads.

"Wonder what's taking them so long. Women. Same in every species eh?" Kaidan asked as he shook his head.

"Go in packs, take forever to get ready and expecting compliments when they come out? Yeah pretty much." Garrus ruefully agreed as he patted Kaidan on the shoulder.

"C'mon we better fix that Mako again. Her driving REALLY needs to improve." He continued as he gestured to the elevator.

The girls choose that moment to stumbled out of the locker room, arms linked and laughter bubbling from them.

"We're going to watch a movie in the comm room!" Emily called out, her long hair framing her face delicately.

Kaidan forgot to breath for a second.

'She...she's beautiful.'

"But you can't watch a movie from the comm room." Garrus drawled out as he crossed his arms and tried to look stern.

"Bosh'tet! I can just hack the terminal so we can watch "My Big Blue Asari Wedding!" Tali said as she lead the way to the comm room.

The comm room was transformed, a large blanket was found and pillows were propped up everywhere as the girls chose their spots to curl up and watch the movie. A few bowls of levo/dexo popcorn nestled between bottles of drinks.

"So let me get this straight, one asari's father is a salarian, the other's father is a krogan. How can you tell them apart?" Ashley asked through a mouthful of popcorn.

"Their facial markings...and they're wearing different style clothes." Liara pointed out as she took a sip of her wine.

"Well...they WERE wearing clothes!" Emily crowed out and let out a wolf whistle.

"You can still tell them apart from their facial markings!" Liara defended serenely.

"Soooo "Embrace Eternity' eh? So Liara have you 'Embraced Eternity' lately?" Ashley teased Liara with a happy drunk smile on her face.

Tali covered her helmet and let out a soft giggle. Lowering her hand she adjusted the bag of triple filtered turian brandy that Shepard had "liberated" from Garrus's private stash and helped attach to her suit for the night. Garrus would probably be horrified at what was becoming of his prized brandy if he ever found out, so it was probably for the best that he never did.

Liara blushed, her cheeks turning into a pretty shade of purple.

"Ah...no...not like that I haven't. I'm still kinda considered a kid by asari standards." She stammered and covered her face.

"And hey! What about you?" Liara asked Ashley curiously.

"No, not in a long while. I can't wait for shore leave!" Ashley said teasingly.

"Besides, we should talk more about Emily and Lt. Alenko. And how they make goo-goo eyes at each other when they think no one is looking!" Ashley said while lightly tugging on Emily's hair.

"C'mon spill!" Tali said tossing some popcorn at Emily who had blushed crimson.

"Yeah, well its against the regs. So it'll probably have to wait till after the missions." She said softly, her fingers playing with the hem of her shirt.

"But uh...he's a really really good kisser." She admitted as the blush stained her cheeks, she reached for the bourbon she had also "liberated" from Kaidan's stash. She took a small sip and let out a sigh before passing the bottle to Ashley.

"Gotta admit, he also fills out that bodysuit pretty nicely." Ashley snickered out as she felt the bourbon burn its way down her throat.

"He's also got good taste in drinks! Can't believe you didn't get caught going through their things like that." Ashley turned her attention to Emily.

Emily smiled serenely as she raised an eyebrow at Ashley.

"What can I say, I just have skills." She giggled out as she reached for the bottle and took another sip.

"Now what about you Tali? You and Garrus seem to be getting pretty close." Liara pointed out.

"Oh no, nothing like that. He's like a big brother to me. Plus.." She rubbed her hands together nervously as a blush coated her voice.
"There is someone waiting for me in the fleet." She confessed.

"I've only been helping him tweak that visor of his. And its the only time I've ever seen him take it off!" She laughed out as she took another drink, as they turned their attention to the movie.

Drowsy, and most likely drunk. The women slowly returned back to their bunks after the movie finished. Leaving the empty bottles on the mess hall table.

Early morning brought both Garrus and Kaidan into the med bay looking at the four women who curled up in the beds nursing hangovers.

Kaidan leaned against the wall, a smirk on his full lips and his arms across his chest.

"Well, now I know where my bourbon went. Hope you girls had fun." He snickered as he saw that both Ashley and Emily flipping him off before curling back up into balls of pain.

"And Tali, I'm disappointed in you. You drank my whole bottle of turian brandy?" Garrus drawled, his mandibles twitched in hidden laughter.

"Bosh'tet!" Tali exclaimed as she bent over holding her helmet.

"Never. Drinking. Ever. Again." Ashley mumbled quietly.

"Ha ha. Yeah right." Emily said as she rolled to her side.

"I do admit, I enjoyed our...what did you call it? Girl's night? It was very enjoyable." Liara said softly while slowly sitting up.

"We should do it more often!" She continued with a small laugh.
