So we're all agreed that drunk Mina was funny? Good. I had a feeling that she wasn't drunk enough, but the reviewers told me she was just fine.

Speaking of the reviewers, here are the shout-outs:

To Silent Bob 546: Mina's drunk, and what will they do? *giggles* Well, let's just see, shall we? BWAHAHAHA!!!!

To Graymoon74: Yeah, Mina drunk is pretty funny, isn't it? *giggles insanely* Don't worry, I'll keep her drunk for a few more chapters. I'm having fun writing about it.

To Ares: The whole "dor-dor" thing is slightly beginning to scare me, but maybe I'll use it as the name Mina calls Dorian when's she drunk. *thinks* Yeah, that's it!!! That's what I'll do!!! Geez, you're a genius!!!! (But you'll have to wait until the next chapter, though. Sorry!)

To galabalesh: Wait until Jekyll sees drunk Mina. Now THAT's going to be hilarious! By the way, I've never seen "Kill Bill Vol. 1." What's it about?

To Dr. Griffin: Simon can't help it. He always has evil diabolical ideas. Oh, and Dorian's still an immortal. His portrait was destroyed in the fire, if you remember, and there always has to be one Dorian alive at all times. And since the portrait is gone, he's immortal once more. Boo.

Enjoy the next chapter!

Mina was still locked in Skinner's room. Still drunk, but very ticked off, she began to pound on the door.

"LEMME OUT!!! LEMME OUT!!!" she shrieked as she threw her body up against the door.

Over in the dining room, Simon was just about to explain his plan when...

"What IS that?" Nemo asked curiously, interrupting Simon and tossing his head in the direction of Skinner's room. He couldn't hear Mina yelling, but he could hear the pounding. "It sounds like the whole ship is caving in!"

"Nothing," said Skinner hastily. "Probably just one of the crewmen working. Nothing to panic over."

"Rodney's right, it's probably just one of the crewmen," Donna added, as casually as she could. "Here, let me get up and see what's causing all the noise."

"No, let ME go," said Skinner, kicking her under the table. He got up and ran off in the direction of his room.

Jekyll shrugged. Skinner was acting weird, but this was nothing unusual. "Okay, back to business. Simon, you said you had an idea?"

Simon nodded and smiled. "Well, this may be a bit sinister, but I got the idea from what Rodney said a few moments ago about Dorian being asleep forever. Well, I say we do just that. Make him fall asleep...forever."

"Euthanasia?" asked Jekyll, dumbfounded. "Like putting a sick dog to sleep? I don't know... I mean, that's a bit too...inhumane."

"Well, if anyone else has an idea, I would be glad to hear it," Simon said briskly. He turned to his wife. "Batsie?"

Batsie looked at her husband and shook her head. Then she turned to Jekyll. "Henry, there aren't very many ways to get rid of an immortal, believe me."

"Remember that potion Skinner used on Mina once?" Tom asked. "The one that made her skin all blotchy, until McCane came along and cured her? Well, I suggest we use that on him. He'll be so embarrassed that he'll go away and never bother us again."

"No guarantees," said Jekyll, shaking his head. "With our luck, he'll just get angry and kill us all. Besides, Skinner destroyed the formula for that. Mina made him."

"Oh," said Tom, disappointed. "Well, I bet Skinner himself has an idea or two."

* * *

"Sorry, Mina, but you've left me with no choice," Skinner said. He forced the drunken vampire to his chair and began to tie her up with a length of rope.

Mina went down kicking and screaming. "GET ME BLOOD!!! I WANT BLOOD!!!"

"Shut up, do you want Henry to hear?" Skinner hissed at her.

"Aw, Henry can hear iffhe wants, I doncare...."

"You will care tomorrow morning when you're sober again!!" Skinner hissed. He put some tape over her mouth to keep her quiet. Mina could have broken free from the ropes easily, but she was too drunk to coordinate her movements. "Now please be quiet, Mina!!" Skinner pleaded. "If you're good, I'll let you look at the issues of PlayVamp that I have hidden under my bed!" (1)

Skinner made sure her ropes and gag were tight enough, and was about to run off to the dining room again when his bedroom door opened and in came Edward Hyde.

Hyde flexed his humongous arm muscles. "What's goin' on?" he asked. "We can hear pounding from the dining room."

"Watch Mina," Skinner told him, in a desperate tone. "Please, Hyde, just watch her. She's getting out of control! And don't tell Jekyll anything about this!!!!!"

Hyde shrugged. "Henry'll be drunk tonight anyway, so there's no use in keeping a secret from him. But sure, I'll watch her."

"Thank you so much, Hyde!" Skinner said to him. And he was off to the dining room again.

"So, Skinner...do you have any ideas on how to get rid of the monster?" Sawyer asked him as Skinner sat back down at the table.

"Sure. Lock him in a room filled with nothing but alcohol. He'll be dead of alcohol poisoning in an hour tops."

Sawyer and Jekyll looked at each other, confused. But then Nemo started laughing.

"No, no, Skinner, not Hyde!! Sawyer meant Gray!!"

"Oh! Dorian!" Skinner exclaimed. "Thought you meant Hyde, sorry. And no, I don't have any ideas. Well, I do, but none of them would work on him." Skinner sighed. "If only he wasn't immortal. Then I would have plenty of plans to get rid of him."

"Yes, that is kind of a throwback," Simon Linoge added. "So, we're all agreed, then? Euthanasia?"

"No, we're not agreed!" Jekyll stomped. "I still think it's too inhumane! It's for animals, not humans. I refuse to administer eternal sleeping drugs to him!"

"Jekyll, he's not a human. He's a monster," said Sawyer.

"I don't care. It's unfit for monsters too!"

McCane leaned over and whispered to Skinner and Donna. "Desperate times call for desperate measures, eh, you two?"

Skinner nodded. "Yep. There's only one way to solve this. Get Jekyll drunk until he agrees. My room. Tonight. No funny business."

Donna hesitated. "What about Mina?"

"Oh, don't worry. We'll think of something."

* * *

Four hours later, Skinner, Sawyer, Jekyll, Hyde, and Donna all gathered in Skinner's room for an evening of drinking and poker. Simon, Batsie, McCane, and Nemo weren't very heavy drinkers, so they didn't even bother to show. Donna wasn't much of a drinker, either, but her responsibility was to keep Jekyll away from Mina, who was tied up and locked in her room. Skinner would probably get too drunk to do it, so he asked Donna for her help.

"Okay, here's the booze," said Skinner, passing out the bottles. "Three bottles for Hyde, a bottle for me, and a bottle for Sawyer, Jekyll...and Donna, I guess...to share."

"Who's that extra bottle for?" asked Hyde, pointing to the extra bottle left on Skinner's bed. It was the bottle that was supposed to be for Mina, but Skinner felt uneasy about giving it to her now.

"Oh, that's for whoever wants it," said Donna hastily. "If we run out, I don't feel like making a second trip down to the kitchen, like I did last night."

"Fair enough," Sawyer said. He picked up a deck of cards. "So, who's in for the first game?"

*

"Vampires' Playboy" was already taken by FormerlyKnownAsPhoenix, so I have to use "PlayVamp."

I've decided to end the chapter here, because I don't know how long it's going to take before all the men get drunk, and I really don't feel like putting another break in the chapter. There are already enough breaks in it.

There was hardly any action, I know, but don't worry. They'll be plenty of action in the next chapter.

Remember to REVIEW!!
