A Bachelor Party, Well, Sort Of

Rocky's POV

We decided that Jason needed to be able to take a break from all of this wedding crap that he has been dealing with lately. The only problem is, we were only able to get him away the night before his wedding, so he can not get wasted, which is just wonderful. We all thought that Tommy had been a problem before he got married, but Tommy was mild compared to Jason, but don't mind me, it might be the beer talking now instead of my mind in a few hours.

"Whoa, guys. This isn't a good idea," Jason said, as Rocky and Adam pushed him into a bar. They had become the self-proclaimed bachelor party experts, although they were just as serious as any of the others about their were significant other. They just wanted to make sure that they all had fun tonight, even if it did seem impossible for Jason.

"Jason, no way you're getting out of this one. You're getting married tomorrow, you need to have some fun tonight," Rocky said, as he and Adam each took an arm and seated Jason at the bar. They would drink, even if the others didn't and they happened to be very funny once they got a little alcohol in their systems, so that was the entertainment.

"I'm so sorry I put you through this," Jason said as Tommy sat down next to him and just shook his head as he ordered a sprite. They had nominated him to be the designated driver tonight, as they knew him going back to the hotel room, drunk, would not be accepted by Kim. She might be asleep when he got back, but she would surely wake up when she heard the door open.

"Jason, enjoy it, just make sure you won't have a hangover tomorrow," Tommy said, as he stared at his drink before looking down the bar to see that Zack and Billy were enjoying themselves as well. He had to admit it was odd to see Billy drinking at all, but he had been under more than enough stress lately.

"Sure Tommy," Jason said, as two girls walked up to them, obviously having something on their mind. Jason was sure that they would leave Tommy alone when they saw his wedding ring, but that did not seem to detour them at all.

"Hey, what are the two of you doing here all alone?" The brunette asked, as Tommy casually sipped his drink, while making sure that she was able to see his wedding ring. The last thing he needed was for some girl to try to kiss him and he have to explain what happened to Kim, because she would not be happy about it at all.

"The two of you need to loosen up and have a good time," the blonde said, as she brushed her had through Jason's hair and he couldn't help but wonder how much Rocky and Adam had paid them to do this to him tonight.

"I'm having a great time already," Tommy said, as he carefully removed the girl's arm from around his shoulders. Rocky and Adam were now staring at the two of them and he had the feeling that they had not asked these girls to do this. "And I'm married."

"Well, I'm sure a great man like yourself has room for two women in his life," the brunette said, advancing towards Tommy before Rocky nicely pulled her off and sent her on her way.

This was not in their plan. The girls were only supposed to hit on Jason, but it seemed that she had gotten ideas of her own once she saw Tommy, not that this would surprise Kim if she found out. She continually had to deal with women and girls hitting on Tommy and he was used to turning them down without so much as a second thought.

"What about you? There's no ring on your finger," the blonde said, as Jason looked her in the eyes and smiled.

"I'm engaged," Jason said, as he reached into his back pocket, praying he had something in there that would prove he was engaged. His friends all had this look in their eyes, except for Tommy, who was trying to figure out how to help him.

"Even better," the blonde said, as Tommy thought of one thing that might turn the girl off, but Jason would kill him if he said what he was thinking. "Dance with me?"

"No, thanks though," Jason said, as Adam finally intervened and took the girl off to the side. She had done exactly what they had wanted her to do, but he still was not sure if they were ever going to be able to get Jason to loosen up. "No one mentions that."

"It could have been worse. We could have hired a couple of strippers to come dance for you, although they were only supposed to hit on you," Rocky said, as Jason jumped to grab Rocky, but was held back by Tommy, for some reason.

"Jase, enjoy it," Tommy repeated as the others nodded their heads in agreement. Tommy had at least enjoyed the things they had planned, but Jason was not.

"No more pranks, right?" Jason asked, staring at Rocky and Adam while they agreed with him.

"Look, we wanted you to relax and you need to. You saw how stressed Tommy was when he got married; we don't want you to be acting the same way," Rocky said, as Jason gulped down half of his beer before looking back at him. He was not planning to get wasted when he had left his home, but he had to admit that his nerves were getting rather tattered.

"Payback's a bitch," Jason said with a glint in his eyes as Tommy laughed, knowing exactly how he felt. Rocky and Adam both had never really seen Jason like that, although the other three had, on the rare occasion that he got aggravated with them.

"I can't believe you," Zack said, as he looked over to see Billy had drained two bottles of beer already and was working on his third bottle, which was never a good sign for him. "What's stressing you?"

"Hayley," Billy said as they looked over at him. Well, it seemed they were going to have more to do than pick on Jason tonight. They always seemed to have at least one of them that needed some type of guidance and tonight, it was Billy.

"Well, what's going on with her? Have the two of you been fighting?" Rocky asked, as Jason and Tommy exchanged a look.

They had gotten the feeling that this had been coming for awhile, but it was not really that bad; just poor Billy had all the stress come down on him at once. Between trying to find a job in Reefside and working on all of the ranger projects, he didn't need anymore stress, but it had somehow been magically added to his shoulders.

"That's the thing, I don't really know. She's told me some of it, but she just won't come out and tell me exactly what is bothering her," Billy said, as Zack handed him some peanuts, trying to keep him sober, as Billy did not have the highest tolerance of alcohol among them. "It's like she wants something, but won't tell me."

"R-I-N-G, Billy," Tommy said, as he looked over at him and Billy groaned.

"Yeah, I know, but I think we need to wait, just because of how things are going around there," Billy said, as Jason looked over at him. He understood what it was like to feel this way, but the only thing that would make him feel any better was for him to propose to her and that did not seem like it was going to happen anytime soon. There was just too much going on in their lives at the moment.

"But what do you really want to do?" Jason asked, as he knew he had thought that for a few months, but he just knew the truth of the matter had to come from Billy and no one else.

"What do you think?" Billy asked, as they looked at him and tried not to yell out in frustration. Jason gave him one more, sharp look, before he headed towards him with this determined look in his eye.

"That you are being a stubborn jackass and you need to stop analyzing this. This isn't a science problem, Billy," Jason said, as they watched him take away Billy's bottle, knowing his friend's tolerance of beer. "It's Hayley."

"Yeah and you have to chill out man, nothing too bad is going to happen," Zack said, as Billy looked over at him and noticed that they were agreeing with him.

"Okay guys. This isn't supposed to be about me. What else is planned for Jason?" Billy asked, as Rocky got this gleam in his eyes and they all had a feeling that it was surely going to be an interesting rest of the night for all of them.

AN: Sorry about this chapter being so short, but I do promise you that the next one will be longer, until then happy reading!
