AN: This is for Vee017, because she asked me to do a "pseudo-sequel" based off of the kiss Beka gave Rhade. Hope you guys appreciate this!

Chapter 9 ?
Rhade sipped his drink quietly. Beka had fallen asleep on his shoulder and to let her rest, he moved his arm as little as possible.
Suddenly, Doyle and Harper burst into argument.
"No! I paid for this drink already!" Doyle shouted.
"Oh, no you did not," Harper replied. "I don't have any record!"
Doyle reached out to slap at Harper.
Rhade sighed, just another day in paradise. He looked over to Trance and Dylan.
Trance flipped a card over. "Yes!" she said happily.
"Are you sure you haven't played before?" Dylan asked her.
Trance nodded happily. She shuffled the deck. Dylan finished his drink and looked at his cards.
Trance splayed out an enviable hand. Dylan muttered darkly.
He felt Beka stir. He took a tiny sip, all the while watching Beka through the corner of his eye.
"Morning," he said. "You're on my shoulder."
"Why didn't you wake me up!" she asked, exasperated.
"I knew it was better to let you sleep, matriarch."
She gazed around, taking in everything as if looking at it for the first time. Suddenly, she got up, and, gulping down Rhade's drink, kissed him square on the mouth. Then walked off as if nothing had happened.
'What just happened?' he thought wildly.
Slow clapping came from Harper and Doyle, who had been watching the whole thing. Dylan looked up.
"What happened?" he asked.
'Good question,' Rhade replied mentally. He watched Beka walk out of the bar and into the daylight.
AN: Short, but what did you expect? I tried to come up with a tidy ending in a short amount of time!
