A little while later they came to a stop. Amara blinked her eyes open and felt a thrill of surprise. They were back on the street outside the liquor store.

"Those drinks were yummy. We should get more." Envy set her down and gave her a serious stare. "And you didn't drink enough!"

"Uuhhh…" Amara's thoughts were scattered. How much had she had to drink anyway? Judging by the oddly giddy fuzzy feeling, she'd had too much. She wasn't use to hard liquor. Part of her was screaming that she needed to put the brakes on and sober up, but she couldn't seem to remember why it was so important.

"Come on! It'll be fun!" Envy's grin was childishly excited.

She stared at his expression for a moment with a growing feeling of amusement. There was something strangely contagious about his enthusiasm. It took a moment for her to register that she had started grinning right back at him. She felt the tiny, sane and sober part of her mind fighting a losing battle to get her attention and remind her why she needed to remain maturely in control of the situation.

Mature? Screw that noise.

She'd been playing babysitter long enough. It was time to have some fun!

She smirked mischievously. "Alright," she replied, and felt a wash of amused satisfaction as the palm-tree-haired homunculus lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Yippy!" He yanked the liquor store door open forcefully enough that he bent the metal handle.

Amara snickered slightly. "If you rip the door off its hinges, I don't think the owner will want to sell anything to you."

Envy's eyes widened in alarm, and then he hastened to bend the door handle back into a more or less normal position. "Better?" He glanced at her anxiously.

Amara giggled at his expression. "Good enough." She strolled forward through the open doorway. "Let's do this!"

Envy followed after her, a grin returning to his expression. "I like you better when you're drunk."

She stuck her tongue out at him over her shoulder. The voice of reason had finally decided to shut up and ride out the storm.

This was going to be awesome.

Or not. We'll see if she remembers it after...X'D
