Late August 1979, Minneapolis
I pulled up in front of the dorms and shut off my car. It was the big kick-off party that Verchota and Pavelich had been planning. I was excited to spend an evening with the team. Herb had worked us all ragged and we needed to relax and have fun.
I walked to the lounge, where most of the boys were already there. In the corner there was a baseball game on TV, and somewhere someone had a radio playing.
"How is my wife?" Mac said giving me a hug.
"Just fine, dear. Did you have a good day at work, honey?" I joked.
"The boss is a killer." Mac said. "Hey the party is in full swing, you want a drink?"
"I have one for her right here." Verchota said handing me a beer.
"Thanks." I said and took a sip of the drink. "Tastes strong."
"Hey, Georgy, I'll catch you later. I think the Coneheads are getting a poker game going. Maybe you can join in later?" Mac said and took off.
"How's things been going with you?" Verchota asked.
"Pretty good. Herb has been working all of you hard which keeps me and dad busy." I said.
"Georgia, how's it going?" Cox asked.
"Hey, Coxie. Going good. How about you?" I asked.
"Relaxing and having a few beers." Cox said.
"Sounds good. I am anxious to leave for Norway though." I said. "Wow this beer has a kick. What kind is this Verchota?"
"Just something I thought you would like." Verchota said.
"What do you say, we ditch Mac and run off to get married?" a voice said behind me.
I turned around and saw Christian standing there. "Hey, sounds good to me. But we better hurry, before Mac realizes I'm missing." I said and gave him a hug.
I went and mingled with some of the boys. All of which seemed to be having a good time. I started to feel a buzz coming on despite the fact I had just drank one beer.
"Hey, Johnson." I said turning to him because he was sitting next to me watching the ball game. "Would you go grab me a snack? I must not have eaten enough before I came."
"Yeah, no problem." Johnson said.
A few minutes later, Johnson brought me a slice of pizza and some pretzels. I ate them and felt a little better, but still slightly buzzed. The ball game went off and someone changed the channel over to professional wrestling.
The boys got rowdy and loud watching that so I got up to get away from the insanity. I started to make my way over to the poker game.
"Hey, Georgia, where you been hiding?" Verchota said.
"I was watching the ball game, but now there is wrestling on, so I decided to get out of the way before Baker bodyslams Suter." I said.
"Here, I got you another drink." Verchota said and handed me another beer.
"I don't know if I should. I am kinda buzzing from the last drink. I have never had a beer so strong." I said.
"Hey, just relax and enjoy yourself. We're all having fun. One more couldn't hurt you." Verchota said.
I shrugged and took a sip. From the wrestling fans I heard a loud cheer go out. "We better sit down, before a chair goes flying." Verchota said.
Verchota put his arm around me and led me to a couch in the back of the room. I sat down beside him. There was a couch next to us that Ramsey was sitting on talking to Strobel.
"So tell me about yourself?" Verchota asked.
"What do you want to know?" I asked.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Verchota asked.
"No. I dated a guy a while back at Christmas, but it didn't work out. He was very jealous of Mac and Buzzy." I said.
"You have siblings? You know sisters just as pretty as you?" Verchota asked.
"I don't think so." I said rubbing my cheeks. "My cheeks are getting numb."
Verchota put an arm around me. I was glad for that because I started to feel very dizzy.
(Third Person Point of View)
Georgia was well on her way to plastered as she sat on the couch next to Verchota. Her ears had started ringing.
"Hey Philly, I drank too much." She said.
"It's okay. That happens sometimes." Verchota told her and ran a hand down her cheek.
Georgia started to giggle. She took Verchota's hat from his head and put it on herself sideways.
"How do I look?" Georgia asked posing in the hat.
"Very nice." Verchota said and pulled Georgia onto his lap.
"Well now I can go do my nurse duties? Johnson needs a check up!" Georgia said and crawled off the couch.
"Why don't you stay here?" Verchota said pulling her back up on the couch.
"But Johnson needs a check up." Georgia said and tried to stand up.
She stumbled a few steps as she tried to walk. "Georgia, are you okay?" Ramsey asked seeing her stumble.
"I'm just fine. I am on my way to check on Johnson." She said and fell on the floor. She started laughing.
"McClanahan, come here." Ramsey yelled.
"What is it? I got a hot hand." Mac yelled back.
"Georgia is drunk." Ramsey told him.
Mac got up from the poker table and walked over to find Georgia lying on her back laughing at something in her own mind.
"How is she so drunk? I didn't see her drink that much." Mac asked Ramsey who shrugged. Mac knelt down beside her. "Georgia how much did you drink?"
"Two beers. Verchota gave me two beers and I drank them!" Georgia said, and then grabbed Mac's shoulders. "You have to help me find Johnson so I can examine him."
"Just two beers. You shouldn't have gotten this drunk." Mac said.
"That's all I drank MaccieRob. Where is Johnson?" Georgia said.
"Hey Verchota, what did she drink?" Mac asked.
"A few beers." Verchota said.
"How many?" Mac asked standing up.
"Two." Verchota said.
"She shouldn't have gotten drunk off just two beers." Strobel said.
"Did you put anything in her drinks?" Mac asked Verchota.
"A few shots." Verchota said. "I was just wanted her to relax and have fun."
"You mean you just wanted in her pants!" Mac yelled and lunged towards Verchota on the couch.
When Mac landed on Verchota the force sent the couch backwards causing it to upset. The commotion caught the attention of the rest of the boys.
"STAY AWAY FROM HER!" Mac yelled while scrapping with Verchota, both were throwing punches.
"Guys, break it up!" Bah yelled and started towards the fight. Ramsey was already trying to pull Georgia out of the way.
"Mac stop!" Buzz yelled also rushing towards the scene.
As the fight continued several other boys hurried towards the fight. Marrow tried to grab Mac but caught an elbow to the chin, knocking him backwards. Broten was tripped by Verchota trying to kick from beneath Mac. Silk, Pavelich and Craig grabbed Mac and started pulling him off Verchota.
"Let go of me!" Mac screamed trying to get loose from their grip.
OC, Cox, and Rizzo were restraining Verchota who had leaped to his feet and was attempting to lunge at Mac.
"You don't own Georgia, McClanahan!" Verchota yelled.
"Stay away from her! You got her drunk on purpose! I should beat you senseless." Mac yelled.
"CALM DOWN, BOTH OF YOU!" Bah yelled. Startled everyone quieted down but Mac continued to struggle to get loose as did Verchota. "Now what is the problem here?" Bah asked.
"Verchota put shots in Georgy's beer to get her drunk so he could take advantage of her." Mac yelled.
"Georgy are you okay?" Buzz asked kneeling beside her on the floor where Ramsey had left her.
"I'm fine, but I have to find Johnson." Georgia said.
"You're okay." Buzz said and brushed the hair out of her eyes.
"I didn't see your name written on her!" Verchota yelled at Mac, his breathing uneven.
"I ought to tell Herb what you did to her and have you kicked off the team!" Mac yelled, also panting.
"MAC!" Pavelich said. "Just calm down."
"Like you never gave a girl a few drinks to loosen her up!" Verchota yelled.
"Georgy isn't some rink-rat you picked up and kicked Pavelich out of the room so you could screw!" Mac yelled. "Georgy is one of us! Did you ever stop to think about her? And when was the last time you were tested for the clapp? Does it hurt when you piss?"
"MAC! This isn't helping anything!" Bah yelled. "Now both of you calm down before the police are called."
"I didn't force her to drink what I gave her!" Verchota yelled.
"You weren't honest with her about what she was drinking either!" Mac yelled back.
"Verchota that was a stupid thing to do!" Pavelich said.
"Yes, it was." Bah said.
"I have done it before, and you never said anything." Verchota said.
"Maybe we should have." Pavelich said.
"Those other girls we didn't know. But we are with Georgy everyday. We all like her and she deserves better than for anyone to get her drunk and take advantage of her." Bah said.
"Where is Johnson!" Georgia yelled from the floor.
"Why do you need Johnson?" Buzz asked her while rubbing her back.
"He needs an exam. I have to check Johnson's johnson." Georgia said and collapsed giggling. Johnson, who was standing nearby turned three shades of red.
"Mac, I think the reason this upset you so much is because it was Georgia that Verchota got drunk. Any other girl and you wouldn't have given it much thought." Bah said. "And Verchota you will apologize to her when she is sobered up!"
"JOHNSON!" Georgia yelled from the floor.
"Georgy, shhhhh! You're drunk." Buzz said.
"I'm a nurse!" she told Buzz.
"Mac, Verchota you two need to talk this out. We can't have this affecting the team." Jim Craig said.
Verchota and Mac stared at each other.
"We can stand here all night, if we have to!" Rizzo said.
"It was a dumb thing to do. And she got a lot drunker than I expected." Verchota said dropping his arms. "Truth is…I think Georgia is a great girl and I would never intentionally hurt her."
"Thinking with the wrong head as usual!" Bah said.
"Maybe I overreacted. But I love Georgy, she is my best friend." Mac said and lowered his arms as well.
"JOHNSON! I have to check your johnson!" Georgia yelled.
"We need to get her sobered up!" Silk said.
"Do you two think you can get along?" Bah asked Mac and Verchota.
"I can, as long as Georgy doesn't get hurt." Mac said.
"Me too. I will apologize to her." Verchota said.
"And you need to re-evaluate how you treat women." Pavelich said to Verchota.
"JOHNSON, I SEE YOU!" Georgia yelled and started crawling towards Johnson who was still turning red.
"Come on, Georgy. Let's go back to my room." Jim Craig said bending down to help her up.
"You sure, Jim? I can take care of her." Mac said.
"No, I don't mind." Jim said pulling her to her feet. "I have plenty of room and there is no need for you or Janny to be put out. Besides after that fight you need to rest!"
"Johnson, come here. It's time for your exam. Don't be shy Johnson, I have seen johnsons before!" Georgia said, trying to walk towards Johnson.
Jim put his arm around her and held her in place. "Come on Georgy. Johnson is healthy, he doesn't need a nurse." Jim said and started guiding her towards the doorway.
"But, I have seen those thingys before. In all kinds of medical books. I even saw one dissected in physiology lab!" Georgia told Jim as she wrapped both arms around his neck.
"Poor guy." Jim said.
"Let me know if she needs anything." Mac called after them.
"Johnson's johnson." Georgia said.
"You're going make Mark change his last name." Jim said as he helped her down the hall.
"He could be John Markson if he changes his name. There is no body part called a Markson!" Georgia said.
Jim opened the door to his room and helped Georgia inside. He sat her down on the couch.
"Do you need anything?" Jim asked her sitting beside her.
"Johnson Johnson is a pharmaceutical company." Georgia said.
"I know." Jim said.
"Johnson Johnson could make something for Johnson's johnson." Georgia said and fell on her side on the couch giggling.
"Boy, when a word gets stuck in your mind!" Jim said and put a comforting hand on her back.
Georgia looked up at Jimmy. She grabbed his knee and pulled herself over to him.
"I think you should try to rest. Sleep it off." Jim said.
Georgia grabbed his shoulders and pulled herself up and tucked her feet beneath her.
"You're cute, Jimmy Craig! A cute goalie! You got pretty blue eyes and nice hair." Georgia said and started running her hands through the hair at the base of his neck.
"Yeah, you definitely need some rest and to sleep it off…" Jim started but Georgia cut him off by pressing her lips against his.
Jim was so shocked that at first he wasn't sure she was actually kissing him, but once he realized she was drunk out of her mind he gently grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back.
"Georgy, I like you a lot, but I don't want you this way when you don't even know what you're…" Jim stopped talking when Georgia passed out against his chest. Jim sighed and stroked her hair. "NOW you kiss me."
Shaking his head, Jim picked her up and carried her over to his bed and laid her down. He took her shoes off her and tucked her under the sheets, making sure she was lying on her side. He placed a garbage can beside her. Jim then got a bottle of aspirin and a few glasses of water and sat them next to the bed.
Jim changed into a pair of sweatpants and then climbed into his bed next to Georgia. Checking that she was still on her side, he laid down to sleep.
(First Person Point of View)
The next morning I woke up and I felt incredibly thirsty. I opened my eyes to find that I was wrapped around Jim Craig. My head on his chest, our legs tangled and one of his arms around me. 'What happened?' I thought.
I tried to sit up but found my head hurt.
"Oh good, you're awake." Jim said. He handed me a glass of water. "Here, drink this."
I gulped down the water. Jim handed me a couple aspirin and I swallowed those as well.
"What happened? Did we…you know?" I asked.
"No, we didn't. Notice you're fully dressed." Jim said. I nodded. "What do you remember?"
"I was at the party, and some of the boys were watching wrestling, so I got up and Verchota gave me a second beer that was really strong. He sat me down on the couch and was being kinda…affectionate. I don't remember anything else." I said. "Jim what happened?"
"Verchota had put shots in those beers he gave you. He wanted to get you tipsy and….see where that went." Jim said.
"You mean he was trying to sleep with me?" I asked.
"Yeah, but nothing happened between you two. Ramsey was worried that you were drunk, got Mac involved and the next thing we knew, Mac is beating the hell out of Verchota." Jim said.
"Did he hurt him?" I asked, knowing that Mac would have been livid.
"We split up the fight before anyone got hurt. They managed to bury the hatchet. Both apologized and Verchota admitted he was stupid to try something like that." Jim said.
"So why am I in bed with you?" I asked.
"I brought you here to sober you up and look after you." Jim said.
"In your bed?" I asked.
"I wanted to be sure that you laid on your side so if you threw up you wouldn't choke." Jim explained. "I actually laid you on the other side of the bed but you kept rolling over here. Finally I gave up and let you stay here. At least with your head on my chest, you couldn't choke if you vomited."
I giggled. "I do move in my sleep. Mom always tells me, if I have a baby, I can't put it in bed with me, I would roll over on it and smother it." I said.
"How do you feel?" Jim asked me.
"My head hurts a little." I said and looked at Jim. "Thank you, you didn't have to take care of me."
"I wanted to." Jim said. "You really don't remember anything else?"
"No, why? Did I do something silly while drunk?" I asked.
"Well, you tried to give Johnson a physical. You kept yelling about his, well his…johnson." Jim said.
"Oh no." I said. Poor Johnson and he is kinda shy too. "Does he hate me?"
"Nah, he knows you couldn't help it you were drunk against your will." Jim said.
"I didn't do anything else dumb did I?" I asked.
Jim looked like he wanted to say something. "No, just embarrassing Johnson was the only thing dumb you did." Jim said.
