Ok in this chapter Kel is very OOC, so is pretty much everyone. And as some of you may notice... i don't write drunk people very well. However i wrote this chapter several time and this is the best. So i know it's not too good.


Dom was led to the King's Own barrack, where he was ordered to change into nicer clothes. After that had been done he was then walked with the majority of Third Company, all of Kel's year mate except Quinden, all of Kel's other page friends, Lord Raoul and, surprisingly, Lord Wyldon, to the Dancing Dove. There he was met by no other than Numair, George, Sir Myles, his brother and his uncle.

"I don't know why" started Neal "But seeing my father at a tavern is weird. If he drinks I will go into shock" whispered Neal.

Dom laughed at that. Seeing Duke Baird under the influence of alcohol would be memorable.

"Welcome Lad" started George "to the Dancing Dove! This is where the court of the Rogue meets, and this is where I met my wonderful wife, for it is here I used to rule. Everything is on me" he said. Then as an afterthought he added "I mean everything for Dom"

Dom heard some men grumble behind him and laughed. They walked in to find the place decorated with banners saying 'Good-bye bachelorhood' or 'Welcome to the life of whipped men'

Men laughed at those but cheered when kegs of ale were taken out. Feeling like the party was going to be memorable Dom sat down at a table, but soon after Lord Raoul made him stand up and proceeded to strip him of his shirt.

'Why are you guys trying to get me out of my clothes?" he asked, as Neal and Wolset came to assist Raoul. Once they got him shirtless they gave him a new shirt on it with letters printed on it saying "Bachelor" on it. On the back it said "Not for much longer"

Laughing he sat down again. This night was going to be something.


As soon as they had kicked out Dom, the ladies made Kel wear a dress. Grumbling she agreed. Once she came out Yuki daintily put a tiara on Kel's head while Shinko dressed her with a sash saying "Bachelorette"

"Really?" asked Kel.

They all laughed. A knock sounded at the door and Thayet went to open it. "Perfect" she exclaimed "Right on time"

"Oh no" said Kel as she saw what the servant were carrying "I don't drink"

"This is your bachelorette party" said Daine "You will drink"

"I don't know" said Kel.


Dom was starting to feel the alcohol. He looked around and he had to be proud of his boys. They were wreaking havoc. This had to be one of the best parties they ever had. And it was in his honour.

"Let's play a game!" said Neal.

Dom looked at his cousin sceptically.

"Let's play 'I never' or dare!"

Choruses of agreement met that statement. So a few drinks later the men had finally settled down enough to sit around a table to play dares. When he saw Neal about to hand out the first dare he shuddered at what was going to happen that night.


Kel didn't know how, but she was three quarters tipsy. Ok she thought to herself no need to fool myself I'm drunk.

"Truth or dare anyone?" asked Buri.

"Yeah!" said Kel. Her face, for once, showing all her emotions.


"Wolset I dare you to go challenge Lord Raoul to a Joust!" said Neal.

Wolset looked at Lord Raoul and shuddered. Calls of 'chicken' could be heard everywhere. Lord Raoul was openly grinning at the shuddering corporal.

"My lord?" he asked tentitavely "Would you care to join me in a joust?"

"Why, of course, coporal" he replied.

So the men set out to the nearest practice court.

"We can't use the horses, they are sleeping" yelped Numair "Daine would kill me if we disturbed them"

"Then let's do it on bareback" said Neal. "Wolset on Dom and Raoul on Lerant."

"I can't carry my lord!" said Lerant. Neal thought about that and decided that Raoul was going to carry Lerant.

"We can't use actual lances!" said Dom, worried for his friends.

"Let's use small branches!" said Merric. He had discovered some thin, breakable branches.

"Ok gear up!" yelled Neal.

"I have a feeling that my skills as a healer will be required" whispered Duke Baird to Lord Wyldon.

Once Raoul was carrying Lerant and that Dom was carrying Wolset, Neal dropped his arm. They charged toward one another. Wolset was half falling off Dom and Raoul could not run in a straight line. Lerant and Wolset completely missed each other on their first run.

On the second run Wolset manage to whack Lerant on the head. Hilarity was all around.


"Yuki, truth or dare?" asked Alanna.

"Truth"

"What do you SEE in Neal?" she asked. They all laughed at that.

"Well, he does have nice eyes" she replied.

"That he does!" said Kel "I used to have a major crush on him."

"What?" asked Yuki.

"When I was like 12! I was a page and I had a crush on Neal. Then I met Dom and it went away" she explained "anyways it's not even MY truth and I'm telling secret!" She looked so surprised that she had actually told them of her old crush.

"Ok Kel truth or dare?" asked Thayet.

"Dare"

"Dye some of Dom's shirt pink!"

"Ok" she said. She took some shirts in the drawers and put them in the tub of pink dye that servants had brought. "Oups" she said "that one is mine... of well"

She then wobbled back to her bed, clearly intoxicated.

"What is going on out there?"

All the ladies went to the window. Kel the slowest due to her state.

"It's Dom's bachelor party" said Buri, recognizing her husband.

"Dommmm!" said Kel. "Let's go!"

"Wait up Lady Kel! Where?" asked Lalasa.

"To see Dom!" she said.

"Let's go spy on them!" said Daine, with an evil smile.

The ladies set out, trying to be as secretive as they could; which wasn't very secretive because Kel could not walk straight or couldn't walk without falling.

"What on earth are they doing?" asked Buri as they watched Raoul now carrying Neal running towards George and Merric.

"It looks fun" slurred Kel.

"Another win for the all mighty Raoul! The king of jousting!" yelled Raoul.

"If Lady Kel was here you wouldn't be winning!" yelled one of the men.

"I can beat Kel any day!" said Raoul.

"She's very good you know! She's the best!" said Dom. His speech was slurred. Upon further observation the ladies decided that the groom to be was as drunk as the bride to be. Which, considering that Kel was now sitting on the ground with her sparrow around her head trying, and clearly failing, to stand up again, was very drunk. Dom was not faring better than his fiancée, he was leaning heavily against Fulcher trying to tell him something, which wasn't working because he kept forgetting.

"Well it worked ladies. They are both drunk. Isn't that the goal of Bachelor and Bacherlorette parties?" asked Alanna.

"Indeed" chorused some of the ladies.

"Guys? I don't think I like this feeling" said Kel from the ground "My head is all fuzzy"

"That is the point Kel" replied Yuki.

"I want Dom" she told them.

They all looked at each other for a second and then decided they might as well join the drunk men.

"Boys!" yelled Alanna, announcing their presence.


Neal was by far, excepting Lord Wyldon, Lord Raoul, his father and Numair the most sober men present. He was also the first to here Alanna's call. He turned around to see the Ladies come out. His eyes were instantly drawn to his love Yuki. She looked glorious. Even after they had had Kely and had been married for close to two years he still couldn't believe that she had married him.

Yuki's cheeks were slightly flushed and he could see her emotions more clearly. This informed him that she had a few drinks. As he looked into her almond-shaped eyes, he saw her love. He loved gazing into her eyes.

Then she ended the connection by turning around. Wondering why his love had looked away he saw Kel. He had to do a double take to be able to process the scene before him. Kel had always refused to drink. And it appeared that she was quite under the influence of alcohol. To the point she could not walk straight. She would have one hell of a hangover the next day.

His eyes were then searching for her betrothed. He found Dom talking to Fulcher while leaning heavily on the man. He was drunk.

Just then the 'jousting' competition came to a standstill as the men finally noticed that the ladies had joined.

Buri went directly to her husband, so did Alanna, and Shinko and Daine. Kel went straight, well not so straight, to Dom. She fell over Fulcher and Dom, making a tangle of limbs on the floor. Fulcher looked quite annoyed as Kel and Dom started to kiss, while he was trapped between the floor and Dom's body. Kel and Dom had fallen on top of him.

Knowing Kel, Neal knew that the kiss would be a small kiss. Dom and Kel never really showed too much affection in public. They restrained themselves to small kisses and hugs. But she didn't just lightly kiss Dom, no she full out made-out with the men. Everyone was cheering and wolf-whistling.

"She hates displays like that" he whispered to himself

"But she is very drunk" replied Yuki, who had came to his side.

"Kel, Dom, keep it down a little" yelled Merric.

"Mithros, I think there are tongues involved!" yelled Wolset.

Kel broke the kiss to look at Wolset. Neal saw Wolset actually looked shock as he saw Kel's face without her mask. She pulled her tongue out at him.

"What were you guys doing?" asked Daine.

"Jousting" replied the men.

"On each other?" asked Buri sceptically.

"Yes" he yelled at them "One man is the horse, and the other is a knight. Dom makes a wonderful horse, doesn't he Kel?" he asked. He turned to see what Kel would say to find her kissing Dom again on top of an annoyed Fulcher.

"Would you guys mind?" yelled Fulcher.

"But you're too comfy" she replied.

"I'm comfy?" he asked baffled.

Kel nodded enthusiastically.

"You and Dom are quite heavy, would you mind moving?"he asked politely.

Kel took hold of Dom shoulder and rolled them away from Fulcher. Having miscalculated her force or momentum they rolled farther away.

Neal saw it coming but couldn't be there in time. He watched as Kel and Dom did another rotation laughing and saw that that one rotation was one roll too many. Down the hill they went. Of course, with them being drunk, everyone could hear them laughing as they rolled down the hill and then a larde 'thump' as they hit a tree.

Silence settled over everyone, until Kel started to laugh again.

"We have to get her drunk more often" he whispered "I don't think I've ever seen her this carefree"

They walked back up the hill.

"Nice outfit Lady Kel!"

Kel looked startled and looked down to see what he meant. Neal looked as she took in the 'Bachelorette' sash. She clearly did not realized that tangled in her hair sat a crooked tiara. He seriously had no idea how the tiara had survived the fall.

Several round of jousting later, one broken finger, healed by his father, several bets, Lord Wyldon having to step in as a referee (all the knights almost died of shock to see their old training master do that) lots of kissing from all the couple (including himself and Yuki), a mud fight, a run to a pond where they all 'washed the mud' but just had a water fight, an almost drowning and probably more things that he couldn't remember, they all passed out.


When Kel woke up she felt like an elephant had stepped on her head. She felt Dom's arms wrapped around her and snuggled deeper in his embrace.

She tried to remember the previous night and couldn't remember much. She could only recall being changed into a dress and been made to wear a tiara and a sash. She looked down and saw she was still wearing the dress, which was clearly rumpled and had a tear running down the side of the skirt. Her sash was also still on, but it was muddy. Her hand went up to her hair and she felt the tangle that was wrapped around her tiara.

She grounded as she thought of the time and pain it would take to remove it. She tried to think of getting up but her headache didn't let her attempt it.

Dom mumbled in his sleep and wrapped his arms more tightly around her as she turned to face him. He clearly had seen better mornings. He was muddy and still slightly wet. He wore a bachelor shirt, which she hadn't noticed the night before. She blushed as she vaguely remembered them kissing, in front of everyone.

Someone knocked on her door and walked in. "Hello there Kel"

She snuggled deeper into Dom's neck and said "Morning"

"You mean afternoon?" said Neal.

"What? No! It's morning" she said.

"Wish it all you want it's afternoon. And here is a cure for your hangover." As she drank from the cup he had given her he started to talk. "Kel, you were royally hammered last night. It was amazing. You kept laughing and making out and laughing and just being a fun drunk"

She groaned. "Did I do anything embarrassing?"

"Apart from Kissing Dom in front of everyone, rolling down the hill, throwing mud at LORD WYLDON, trying to fly like your sparrows and Daine? Nothing much" he replied.

"I tried to fly?" she asked.

"Don't worry it didn't work!" he informed her "however you will have a major bruise on your butt from the fall"

"Lovely" she said.

Just then Dom woke up. She passed him the hangover cure.

"What time did we go to sleep?" he asked.

"Well we watched the sunrise and then went to bed" replied Neal.

"We did?" he asked.

"Indeed" said Neal. "It's afternoon now"

"Oh" said Dom, as he let his head fall back on the pillow.

"Anything embarrassing?" he asked Neal.

"Making out with Kel in front of everyone? Rolling down the hill? Trying to lift Lord Raoul up? Telling Raoul that Kel is prettier and better than Buri?"

Dom chuckled. "You should be grateful that Lord Raoul was sober and you were drunk or he might have punched you for that" continued Neal. "Anywayz I'll talk to you two lovebirds later. Common get dressed and go eat. You'll feel better after that."

Kel and Dom got up, swallowing groans. Kel was getting dress when Dom came up behind her and asked her. "Do you know why my shirts are pink?"

Dom figured, from the guilty look in her eyes, that she had done it. He laughed "Well I daresay I'll look dashing in pink" he said "Did you dye ALL my shirts?"

"No, I think I left one right over here" she said as she looked around the room. She found one, not pink, shirt and gave it to him.


The rest of the week passed into a blurred. It seemed to Kel as if one afternoon they were waking up after their bachelor party and that very night they kissed with such passion and love as they both went their separate way. The next time they would see each other, she would be in white and he would be waiting.


Ok, as mentioned before i don't do drunk well. This chapter is defenetly not up to my standard. But please give me feedback. And thank you for all the reviews :)

Now one guess at what the next chapter will be? It might take a while to post the next one up. It's going to be the wedding and THAT chapter I will try to make as perfect as possible. So it might take a while. And i have a feeling it will be rather long. Till then.
