A/N: Thanks for continuing to read, review and follow! As always, it's really appreciated. This story has now passed the two year mark! I would have loved to have posted an update on the actual anniversary but couldn't because of life and work. It's hard for me to believe it's been two years, and I've really enjoyed doing this more than I thought I would. I'm not done yet though. We've got a wedding, a baby shower, baby and …"

Okay, I have this feeling I need to put a warning with this chapter. Without giving away too much, I will simply give you a definition as a warning. This is more for those not familiar with the term. According to Wikipedia, 'an earworm is a catchy piece of music that continually repeats through a person's mind after it is no longer playing'. There is a possibility of what some might consider earworms ahead. Hope you enjoy this update!

The party was soon in full swing and the drinks were flowing. The divider between the driver and passengers was put up so the music, flashing lights and conversations did not distract the chauffer, Jimmy. Before they left Pine Valley, Jimmy communicated the alternate route they would need to take to Philadelphia because of road construction on the interstate. Kendall and Greenlee agreed with the detour, and the group was off on their adventure.

Not long into their ride, Madison noticed that Marissa wasn't drinking champagne along with the others. If anyone should be partaking, she figured it would be the redhead since it was her party along with Bianca so she decided to ask her about it. "You're not drinking?"

Marissa shook her head. She wasn't surprised by the question and knew it would come up sometime during the evening. "No, I just don't feel like drinking tonight. Plus, I want to remember everything about this night, especially what all of you do. You never know, it might come in handy later."

Kendall overheard the conversation and decided to jump in when she saw Madison getting ready to fire off another question. "I think Red has decided it might be in the best interests of certain members of the wedding party to remain sober in case the need for her legal services arise, especially this close to the wedding."

"Well given we're talking about you and Greenlee, can you really blame me?" Marissa deadpanned.

All those listening to the exchange started laughing and nodding in agreement. Marissa flashed Kendall a grateful smile knowing full well what she did and why. Kendall nodded in silent acknowledgement.

"When you put it like that, I don't suppose I can fault your logic." Madison laughed.

"You can never have too many lawyers in the family, especially this one." Greenlee smirked and raised her glass to toast. "To lawyers!"

Everyone raised their glasses for this latest toast. They had begun to toast any and everything. "To lawyers!"

/

The group had been on the road for about an hour when suddenly there was a loud thunk. The car swerved and came to a sudden stop.

"What the hell was that?"

The divider window was lowered and Jimmy glanced around quickly at his passengers. "Is everyone okay back there?"

The women looked around checking themselves as well as each other out quickly.

Bianca was especially relieved to see Marissa give her a reassuring smile.

"We're good. We were just jostled a bit. Are you okay, Jimmy?" Marissa asked.

"I'm better now that I know that all of you are okay."

Kendall leaned forward. "What happened?"

"I'm not exactly sure. I did manage to get us pulled off to the side of the road. I think it's better if you all will stay inside while I check things out. It will be safer for you in here."

Before exiting, Randi stopped him. Some of them had spilled their drinks on either themselves or someone else. "Jimmy, are there any towels?"

"Yeah, there are some hand towels underneath the bar. I'm really sorry."

"Don't worry about it. It's nothing we can't handle."

/

A knock on one of the rear windows several minutes later alerted the women to lower it.

"Well, I'm not 100% sure, but it could be the transmission."

Natalia sighed. "I don't really know anything about cars, but that's bad, isn't it?"

Jimmy nodded. "I'm afraid so. I'm going to need to call this in and see if they can send another car."

"Hey, Jimmy, do you know where we are?" Lisa asked.

"According to the GPS, we're about an hour outside of Philadelphia in Shamokin."

"Shamokin? What the hell's in Shamokin?" Amanda asked.

"I'm not sure, but I think we're going to find out." When Bianca saw the confused look from Amanda, she continued. "It's going to take at least an hour no matter where another car comes from, and I'd rather not stay in here the whole time, bar or no bar."

Marissa nodded. "I'm with Bianca. It'll be good to stretch my legs. Why not check it out?"

Jimmy raced around to open the door while the others shrugged and decided to follow the couple's lead.

Kendall and Greenlee were on their phones to call the club and hotel to tell them they would be delayed.

"Well, this sucks." Greenlee stated when she ended her call.

Bianca smiled. "Don't worry about it. These things happen. There's plenty of time left for us to get to Philadelphia. This is just a minor diversion."

Marissa agreed. "She's right you know. It is. We're just getting started. I have to say though that I'm getting a little hungry, more peckish than anything else. I was okay until I got out of the car and smelled something being grilled."

Lisa nodded. "I'm glad it's not just me. It smells really good. I wonder where it's coming from."

Stef found the source across the street and up a few doors from their current location. "It looks like it's that place over there." She started laughing. "Oh, look at the name. It's called Shamokin' Joe's."

Marissa laughed. "I love it! We have to check it out now."

Kendall glanced at the group. She knew it would be fairly late by the time they got into Philadelphia now no matter what Bianca had said earlier to make her and Greenlee feel better so they might as well check out the place. "I'm game if everyone else is." Seeing their agreement, she turned to the driver. "Jimmy, we're going to go across the street."

"Alright, I'll join you in a few minutes just as soon as I'm done with this call and lock up the car."

As the group made their way to the restaurant, Bianca pulled Marissa back. "Are you sure you're okay?"

Marissa lowered her voice. "I'm fine, B. I promise. I have to say that I would kill for a big, fat, juicy cheeseburger though. I've been craving one all day. I think our little one likes them more than me."

Bianca chuckled and placed a hand on Marissa's belly lovingly. "Well then, I guess it's good we stopped because I don't think the Ritz will have what you're looking for, and if that's what you and our little one want, then that's what you'll get."

"Thank you! Yeah, I don't think the Ritz will have big juicy burgers like I'm craving either. I know their food is excellent, but I'd feel kind of weird getting one there anyway. Besides, the messier the burger, the better."

"I couldn't agree more."

Greenlee called back to the couple. "Are you two coming?"

Marissa grinned and held out her hand for her fiancée. "Yep, right behind you."

/

Shamokin' Joe's looked like it was the place to be on a Friday night in the small town. Considering it was early evening, the place already had a nice crowd and only a few empty tables. You definitely wouldn't consider it fancy by any stretch of the imagination, but it had a nice feel to it.

A dark-haired woman greeted the newcomers quickly. "Welcome to Shamokin' Joe's. I'm guessing you're all together."

Gail nodded. "You guessed right. Do you think you'll be able to seat us all together?"

"I don't think it will be a problem. Just give me a couple of minutes to put some tables together."

Aya volunteered. "I'll be happy to help."

"Me too." Jan offered as well.

"You don't have to, but if you're sure, I'd appreciate the help."

"We're sure."

"Alright then. Thank you. Follow me."

Five minutes later, Aya and Jan waved the rest of the group over while the server went to retrieve menus.

In addition to the menus, she returned with glasses of water, sets of utensils and baskets of the restaurant's homemade rolls. "Good evening, ladies, and again, welcome to Shamokin' Joe's. My name is Terri, and I'll be your server tonight. I'm pretty sure of the answer because none of you look familiar, but have any of you been here before?"

"No, we haven't. It's a first time for all of us to even visit the town." Marissa smiled.

"Well, welcome to Shamokin then. What brings you all here?"

"We were on our way to Philadelphia for a bachelorette party when the limo we rented broke down." Greenlee answered.

"I'm sorry to hear about the car problems, but we're glad to have you here. Who is the lucky bride-to-be?"

Kendall smiled. "It's actually brides-to-be. Meet the happy couple, Bianca and Marissa."

Terri followed the motion of Kendall's hand to a brunette and redhead sitting next to each other with huge smiles on their faces. The couple gave the server a quick wave. "Congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

"What will you all have to drink?"

The server took their orders and returned a couple of minutes later with an assortment of mixed drinks, again with and without alcohol. "I told the manager your happy news, and the first round is on the house."

Marissa smiled brightly. "Thank you!"

"You're welcome. So, when's the big day?"

Bianca answered happily. "Two weeks from tomorrow!"

"Ah, giving everyone time to recover before the wedding. Good idea. Where are you all from?"

"Pine Valley."

"I've never been there. Isn't that where Erica Kane is from? That's what, an hour away?"

Kendall and Bianca shared a slight smile with each other. Their mom definitely was famous and this was just another indication of just how famous she was.

"Yes, she is from there. And yeah, it is about that far. It's going to be a while before they can send another car so we decided to wait it out here, especially after we smelled whatever you have cooking on the grill." Marissa added.

"I have to be honest with you. We have the best burgers in Pennsylvania. We also have some killer chili cheese fries."

Marissa laughed when she saw Bianca's eyes light up at the mention of one of her favorite guilty pleasures.

Terri raised an eyebrow. "Is it something I said?"

"Bianca kind of likes them so we know we'll be getting at least one order of them."

The server chuckled. "Alright, I think I get it. Do you all still need some time to decide and are you going to wait on the other member of your party?"

Greenlee nodded. "Yes and yes. Our driver will be joining us as soon as he's able."

"I'll be back in a few minutes then."

/

Jimmy walked into the restaurant and immediately spotted the group and was greeted by them. "Ladies."

"Hey, Jimmy. What's going on with the car?" Kendall asked.

"Mrs. Slater, I'm afraid I have bad news. The company said there won't be another limo large enough for your party available for at least three hours. If you add in the time for it to actually get here, you're looking at four hours at the earliest. I'm really sorry."

"Four hours? Wow. It's not your fault, and there's not much else we can do right now. Have a seat. We'll order dinner and just take it from there. Oh and since we're going to be spending a lot more together, I think you should start calling us by our first names, okay?"

Jimmy smiled and nodded.

Greenlee looked at the couple. "Sorry. This isn't anything like we had planned for you. It's not really looking like much of a bachelorette party."

Bianca shook her head and smiled. "It's like Kendall just told Jimmy about the car not being his fault. This isn't your fault either. Besides, Rissa and I are having a good time."

The waitress returned and took their orders.

"Hey, Terri. I have a question." Aya said after giving her order.

"I'll try my best to answer."

"Is that a stage over there?"

"Yes, it is. We have karaoke every Friday night. We'll fire it up in about an hour. If any of you are interested, I can bring over a list of the available songs."

Kendall grinned. "That would be great, Terri. Thank you."

When the server left, Stef couldn't help but ask the question that a couple of them had. "I have a feeling you're up to something, Kendall. What's up?"

"Well, I don't know how many of you are aware of this, but Red over there has a really great voice."

Marissa sighed. "It's not that great, Kendall."

Bianca shook her head. "I beg to differ. You have a beautiful voice. Would you sing something for me, please?"

The redhead chuckled. Marissa pretty much knew she couldn't really refuse Bianca anything, and Bianca knew it as well. "Of course I will."

"Yes!"

Greenlee grinned. "You know, I think it's only fair that Bianca sing something for you too, Rocky."

Kendall nodded happily. "She's right. It is only fair. Come on, Binx. What do you say?"

Marissa smiled. "Please, Babe? I think you have a beautiful voice too. I'd really love it if you sang something for me."

Bianca scowled slightly. She really didn't like to sing in front of others. Sure, she could speak in front of large crowds when needed because it was part of her job as the head of the Miranda Center. Singing was different though, and she didn't see herself as being on par with her fiancée when it came to performing like that in front of a crowd. Dammit it all to hell though, she couldn't say no to Marissa. "Okay, I'll do it, but only if I can have a couple more drinks to get my courage up."

Everyone laughed and cheered with Kendall and Greenlee doing so the loudest. This gave Marissa an idea.

"I was thinking that since Bianca and I are going to sing that it'd be nice if everyone else did too. I know Aya likes to sing. It'll be fun."

Bianca smiled seeing where Marissa was going, and some of the others were already on board. The real targets of the request though were staying quiet. "Yeah, it really will be. Come on, Kendall, Greenlee. It's what Rissa and I would like."

"And it is our night after all." Marissa grinned.

Kendall and Greenlee narrowed their eyes at the couple. Somehow, Bianca and Marissa had managed to turn the situation around on them.

Greenlee sighed. "Well played, ladies. Fine, I'll sing, but I'm going to need more than a couple of drinks to do this."

Kendall rolled her eyes and nodded reluctantly. "Me too." She raised her arm and flagged down their server. "Terri, bring us another round and keep 'em coming."

/

Everyone in the group with the exception of Jimmy had signed up to sing. He was given a reprieve since he was still on the clock. While they waited for their food to be delivered, they reviewed copies of the song list Terri had brought them.

"Wow, I'm not sure what song I want to sing. There's a lot of interesting choices." Gail stated.

"I have an idea. We could pick a bunch of songs and write them down on separate pieces of paper. Whoever is up to sing picks one out of the pile. You have to sing what you pick." Aya suggested.

Randi nodded. "I like it. You won't know what you're going to sing until the very last minute. It adds a little something extra to the whole thing."

"Let's do it then. Everybody pick a song and write it down. Jimmy, since you are the only impartial one here, we'll let you keep them so no one peeks and tries to rig it." Greenlee decided.

That seemed agreeable to everyone, and they got to work on making their selections. When they were done, they handed the slips of paper to Jimmy who tucked them away in his jacket pocket.

Terri returned a short time later with another server to deliver their food and collect more drink orders.

Marissa groaned as she took a bite of the restaurant's signature burger, the Shamokin' Joe. "Oh my god, this is so good."

"I told you they were the best burgers." The server smiled.

"You were right."

"Should we tell Krystal?" Kendall asked with a smirk.

"No! Don't you dare! Actually, you're not allowed. Since I'm having the burger tonight, that would be a violation of the pledge we took earlier at your house." Marissa quipped.

"Is my fiancée a kick-ass attorney or what?" Bianca said with a goofy grin.

Marissa chuckled. By this point, Bianca had a few drinks in her and nothing to eat for quite some time so the alcohol was quickly making its affects known. Now that she was getting some food in her, they should slow down some. Bianca was still several drinks behind some of the others though. "Feeling good, Babe?"

"Yes, I am, thank you very much. I don't believe I'll have any problem when it's my time to perform. Rissa, you have to try these chili cheese fries. They're awesome. Not quite as awesome as Krystal's but still pretty damn awesome. The jalapeños give it a really good kick." Bianca held out a forkful of the dish for Marissa.

The redhead shook her head clearly amused by her fiancée as she took a bite of the forkful offered by Bianca. "They are pretty good, and you're right about the peppers. Don't worry, I won't tell her how much you like them. You're secret is safe with me."

/

The group was finishing up their dinners when the karaoke machine was fired up. There were renditions of songs by Adele, Pink, Elvis, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and others. Some of the performances were really good while others left a lot to be desired. They all agreed the woman who sang Adele's 'Rolling in the Deep' probably should have picked another song, one that was less challenging, but they cheered her on anyway. It took a lot of courage to get up there. The drinks were still flowing, and thoughts of the dance club in Philadelphia were fading as the night wore on because they were all having a great time.

Kendall noticed the slight scowl on Greenlee's face during another patron's rendition Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On' which had a couple of cringe-worthy notes. Kendall had a feeling there was something else going on with her friend besides the off-key notes. "What's up? You okay?"

Greenlee sighed. "Yeah, I guess. It's just that this evening really hasn't panned out like we thought it would."

"I know what you mean." Kendall glanced at Bianca and Marissa. The couple had huge smiles on their faces and were laughing, clapping and singing along with everyone. They were truly having a good time. "No, we didn't plan any of this, but look at them though. Look at those smiles. They're having fun, and that's all that really matters. It makes sense when you think about it."

"What do mean?"

"Yes, they like the nice things in life and would appreciate going to a fancy club and having dinner at a five star restaurant. The thing is they don't need it. They are just as happy here with a cheeseburger and chili cheese fries as they would be there. It's not because they don't appreciate everything that we had planned because they do, but that stuff doesn't really matter to them. It's nice but not necessary. It's just who they are."

Greenlee considered her friend's words. "You're right. Why do you get all philosophical and deep when you drink?"

Kendall laughed. "I have no idea. Don't worry though. It's temporary and will pass with a few more drinks."

"Good. I'm glad to hear that. We don't need deep insights and conversations tonight." Greenlee smirked before addressing the members of their party. "Okay, ladies. It's almost time for us to get up there. Who's going first?"

"Well, since we're picking the songs randomly, why don't we do the same with who performs?" Stef suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Lisa agreed quickly.

"Okay. Let's do this then." Greenlee wrote down everyone's name on a separate slip of paper and mixed them up. "Jimmy, we'll let you do the honors for who goes first. Pick a name."

"Wait. Before we do this, I think we all need a shot or at least I need a shot." Aya offered.

Most agreed because they were getting a little nervous about getting up in front of everyone and singing. Only Marissa was unfazed by the prospect.

Terri brought over the requested round and distributed them to everyone.

Kendall looked at the driver. "Go ahead."

Jimmy nodded. Before picking a name, he removed the song choices from his pocket and put them in small pile in front of him on the table. "Gail."

The woman sighed and selected a song from the pile. Gail groaned when she saw what she had to sing and then laughed. "I don't know who picked this one, but you seriously have problems." She downed her shot and walked to the stage. The group started laughing as soon as the first chords started playing.

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot, north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion at the Copa
They fell in love.

Everyone in the restaurant started cheering and clapping as Gail let loose and got into the song more. When she finished, everyone stood and clapped loudly, none louder than those at her table. She bowed graciously and took another shot that was offered to her when she returned. "Alright, who picked that one?"

Amanda smiled. "That would be me. What? I happen to like it and Barry Manilow."

Gail sighed. "Whatever. I think I should get to pick the next victim, I mean name."

"Go for it. By the way, you did great. Don't worry though. What you sang won't get back to Sam." Marissa smiled.

"Thank you. That's all I need." Gail selected a name. She chuckled. "Karma. Amanda, you're up."

Amanda scowled and then picked a song. "I don't really know this song."

"What did you pick?" Madison asked.

"'Hot Stuff'."

"Ooh, I know that song. Donna Summer sang it. Would it be alright with everyone if I helped her?"

The group looked at each other and agreed.

Kendall nodded. "Sure, go ahead and sing it together."

Both women downed their shots and headed to the stage. Madison was definitely more into it than Amanda who did eventually loosen up by the end. After taking their bows, they returned to the table for another shot. Madison picked the next name. Natalia was up and performed a pretty good rendition of 'Hold On' by Wilson Phillips with backup from Marissa, Bianca and Lisa. After her, Jan had to perform 'Satisfaction' by the Rolling Stones and even managed to throw in a Mick Jagger-like strut that had the crowd going. She was followed by Stef doing a version of 'Walking on Sunshine' by Katrina and the Waves. Lisa then performed 'I Want You to Want Me' by Cheap Trick. Randi picked 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' and was followed by another song by Queen, 'Bohemian Rhapsody', performed by Aya. Marissa grabbed Lisa and Randi, and the three provided backup on the song. The crowd loved it.

When Aya returned, she pulled Kendall's name.

Kendall downed a shot before picking her song. She glanced around the table and smirked. "If this isn't appropriate for tonight and for this crew, I don't know what is."

Greenlee snatched the paper and started laughing. "'Friends in Low Places', I love it!"

"Well, I'm no Garth Brooks, but I'll give it my best shot." Kendall dashed to the stage and started singing in her best twang.

Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

By the second verse, everyone in the entire place was singing along and cheering loudly. When Kendall returned to the table, Terri was distributing another round of drinks.

"Wow, you're good. We didn't even have to order." Kendall grinned.

"Someone else ordered and paid for these for you all. I've actually got orders for a few more rounds for all of you. It seems that you're all a crowd favorite."

Greenlee picked her drink up and downed it. "Well, please thank them for us. Okay, who's up next, Kendall?"

"Binx!"

Bianca sighed and accepted her fate. She knew it was coming, and thanks to the nice buzz she had from the shots, she wasn't as nervous as she was earlier. Bianca had actually slowed down on the drinking though when she felt she was getting a little too drunk. She did okay holding her alcohol but was nowhere nearly as adept at it as Kendall, Greenlee and a few others in their group. She also felt a little guilty since Marissa wasn't able to partake even though her fiancée was having a great time. Bianca selected her song and cracked up laughing. She handed the paper to Marissa who started laughing as well.

"What is it?" Gail asked.

Marissa grinned. "'Dancing Queen' by ABBA."

The guests of honor started laughing again and were met by confused looks from the others.

Bianca gathered herself and simply replied. "It's an inside joke."

Marissa nodded and gave Bianca a quick kiss. "Go get 'em, Babe!"

"You got it!"

Kendall and Greenlee looked at each other and smiled.

"Wait up, Binx. We're coming with you."

"Yep, I want to break out my moves from seeing 'Mamma Mia'." Greenlee added with a grin.

Bianca shrugged and smiled. "The more, the merrier."

With Greenlee and Kendall flanking her, Bianca grabbed the microphone and started.

You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh see that girl, watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

The three hadn't had any time to choreograph their moves, but somehow, they were perfectly in time with each other. It added to the performance, and the crowd was eating it up. Bianca got into the song more and more and definitely showed another side to some of the members of the group. Marissa, however, was not one of them because she knew Bianca had it in her to do something like this. The redhead grinned as she watched her fiancée perform and found herself captivated.

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat
From the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh see that girl, watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat
From the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh see that girl, watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen
Diggin' the dancing queen

When Bianca finished, Marissa cheered wildly. She like most of the crowd had been standing the whole time. Kendall and Greenlee clapped almost as much as the redhead, almost. Several members of their group stood stunned for a moment before joining the others. The lag in their reaction was due only to the fact that they hadn't seen Bianca cut loose like that before and couldn't get over her performance.

"Wow. Bianca, that was amazing." Stef's statement was followed by nods from the others.

"Thank you!" Bianca smiled as she tried to catch her breath.

Marissa grinned and hugged Bianca. Beaming proudly, she proclaimed. "I told you that my fiancée was nothing short of incredible."

Bianca blushed. "I really think you're over exaggerating, Rissa.

"Nope, I have to agree with Red on this, Binx."

"Thanks, and thanks for the backup. You and Greenlee were fantastic."

Greenlee eyed Marissa. "It looks like it's just you and me, Rocky."

"Bring it, Shorty." Marissa grinned.

Before Bianca could pick the next name, they were interrupted by Jimmy.

"Excuse me, ladies. I'm sorry to interrupt. By the way, that was a great performance, Ms. Montgomery."

"Thanks, Jimmy, but it's Bianca. Remember, we told you to call us all by our first names."

"Got it, and you're welcome, Bianca. Mrs. Slater, I mean Kendall, could I speak with you and Greenlee for a moment?"

"Sure, Jimmy."

The three headed off to speak where it was a little quieter.

Marissa handed her fiancée a shot. "I think you deserve this."

Bianca grinned as she took the drink. "Are you trying to get me drunk and have your way with me? Because if you are, you should know a couple of things. One, I may already be a little drunk."

"Yeah, there's no 'may' about it." Marissa chuckled.

"And b, you should know by now that you don't have to get me drunk to have your way with me. You can have me pretty much anytime, anywhere, Counselor." Bianca waggled her eyebrows for effect.

Marissa couldn't help but laugh at the sight. The sexy look Bianca was going for really wasn't going the way the brunette had thought it was because of the amount of alcohol she had in her system. It didn't matter to Marissa in the least bit because she found Bianca irresistible regardless of her state. Bianca also tended to get a little handsy, frisky when she had a little too much to drink, not that either of them getting drunk was something that had happened all that often. Marissa would never complain about a frisky Bianca though. She enjoyed it way too much to ever say a word about it. "I'll keep that in mind for later tonight, and ditto by the way."

Bianca gave her a goofy grin, and Marissa leaned forward for a kiss. The couple was interrupted by Kendall and Greenlee's return from their discussion with Jimmy.

Greenlee got the group's attention. "Well, Kendall and I have been talking to Jimmy and we've got some news. It could be considered good news, bad news or a little bit of both. It all just depends on how you choose to look at it."

A/N: Time for disclaimers. I don't own any of the songs used in this chapter. They are owned by those mentioned alongside the songs. As for the name of the town, there really is a Shamokin, Pennsylvania. When I started looking for the name of a small town our merry group could get stuck in, I went to the web to look for cities in Pennsylvania, and the name Shamokin jumped out at me. I'm playing around with its geography and where it is in respect to Philadelphia. Finally, yes, there is another cliffhanger. It's needed because this chapter is already over 5,500 words. Who knows how long it would be if I added the other stuff I have planned for Shamokin to it? See you soon!
