Drunk Again

Disclaimer: Dick's, not mine.

It's two AM. Alex and Carolyn are drunk…again. Very drunk. Bobby and Mike had abstained some after the previous night. Mike had to take Carolyn home, and Bobby just didn't want to get into a fight with Alex again. But Alex and Carolyn were like two girls at a slumber party, and Mike and Bobby were just along for the ride. The two women were standing in front of the guys 'performing' a scene from the movie.

"The game's up, Scarlet. There are no more bullets left in that gun." Alex tripped and fell flat on her ass.

"Oh come on. You don't think I'm going to fall for that old trick?" Carolyn flopped down on Mike's lap.

"It's not a trick. There was one shot at Mr. Boddy in the study, two for the chandelier, two at the lounge door, and one for the singing telegram." Alex pointed her wine glass at Carolyn from where she sat on the floor.

"That's not six." Carolyn rolled her eyes.

"One plus two plus two plus one." Alex stared at Carolyn, not believing that she couldn't grasp that fact. Bobby and Mike looked at each other, smiled and rolled their eyes.

Carolyn shook her head vehemently. "Uh uh, there was only one shot that got the chandelier, that's one plus two plus one plus one."

"Even if you're right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not one plus two plus one." Alex laughed as she said her line. Then all of a sudden she looked crestfallen. "Carolyn! I can't remember what comes next!"

Carolyn slid off Mike's lap and crawled over to her friend. She looked her in the eye, sober for a minute. "Alex."

"What?"

"I can't remember either." The two women looked at each other for a minute and then burst out laughing. Mike and Bobby exchanged glances.

"God help us if we get a call tonight." Mike rolled his eyes for the umpteenth time.

"Carrie and Alexandra rear their ugly heads." Bobby had thought he said this loud enough for only Mike to hear, but he was mistaken.

"Are you calling us ugly, Goren?" Alex crawled over on her knees and looked him straight in the eye. Well as straight as she could considering how lit she was.

"Alex, no I'm not. You're both beautiful." Bobby took her face between his hands. Mike caught the look in his eye and decided that yes, it was time to call it a night. Now, how to get Carolyn out the door.

"Okay kid. Let's go!" Mike picked her up and carried her towards the door. "Goodnight guys!" The door shut.

Alex looked up at Bobby. "Oh man. I'm way too drunk." Alex's eyes closed. Bobby picked her up and took her back to the bedroom, tucking her in.

Three Hours Later…

Mike and Carolyn:

Carolyn woke up and checked her cell phone. Five AM. She turned over onto her side and gazed at Mike. His hair was sticking up, his mouth was hanging open and he was snoring. She nudged him and he awoke with a start.

"Hey." She smiled at him.

"Hey kid." He smiled back.

"I love you even though you had dog poop on your hand." Carolyn slid her arm around him and he inched closer to her in the bed.

"I love you even though you have an unnatural obsession of getting pissed with Alex and re-enacting scenes from "Clue"."

Carolyn snickered as her leaned in for a kiss.

Alex and Bobby:

Bobby was still awake, Alex asleep on his chest. She stirred slightly when he put his arm around her.

"Bobby?" She murmured.

"Yeah?"

"Are you awake?" Alex turned her head towards him. "Yeah, you are. What did you know that I didn't?"

Bobby smiled. She looked so pretty, half asleep the streetlights glinting off her face. "I've been sworn to secrecy."

"Mike and Carolyn are going out. About a year now." Alex put her head back down and turned away from him.

"You got me. I knew." Bobby turned on his side and put his arm around her. "That could be us, you know."

Alex smiled. Finally, she thought. "That would be good." She thought for a second. "No more shower sex, I hate to say. I almost fell."

Bobby laughed and kissed her shoulder. "Okay, we'll keep the water off then." She elbowed him gently and started to fall back asleep.

"Bobby?" Alex said sleepily.

"Yes?"

"I love you."

Bobby smiled. "I love you, too."

A/N - This is totally the end of this. Alex and Carolyn's "acting" debut is quoted from the movie "Clue". Happy birthday to Mr. Tim Curry. Thanks for sticking with me through this inanity...and of course for the lovely reviews!
