Casey sat in the passenger seat while Sally drove home, Casey was thinking about how her friendship with Sally would be affected if she told her about what Marissa said. "I'm surprised you aren't acting drunk or anything, considering you've never drank before." Sally said.

"Well, it wasn't that much. But I'm sure tomorrow I'll feel awful." Casey said. "My stomach does hurt a bit."

"Do you want me to pull over?" Sally asked.

"Maybe that would be a good idea." Casey reluctantly said. She wanted to look like she could keep her liquor down, but she knew that throwing it up would help reduce hangover and make her feel better.

"Ok, there's a rest stop at the next exit." Sally said.

They parked at the rest stop and Sally walked with Casey to the bathroom and held her hair for her. "Don't make yourself throw up." Sally said.

"I won't." Casey said. She tensed her stomach, like when you try to get a burp out, to see if that would help her get the alcohol out. It took a while, but eventually she was able to throw up. "That's better."

"I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have let you drink tonight." Sally helped Casey stand up. Casey flushed while Sally got some paper towels for Casey to wipe her mouth. "You're parents will kill me if they find out."

"We can keep it a secret, don't worry." Casey smiled while wiping her mouth off.

"And here's a mint." Sally dug in her purse and pulled out a Lifesaver ring. Then she grabbed one for herself.

"Thanks." Casey took the mint and popped it in her mouth.

"Are you ok now?" Sally asked.

"Yeah." Casey nodded. They walked out into the chilly parking lot and sat down in the car. "Before we go," Casey started "Can I ask you something?"

"Anything." Sally smiled innocently.

"Well, during the party. I was talking to Marissa and she told me that, you were having these drerams about me." Casey said while avoiding eye contact.

"What kinds of dreams?" Sally asked nervously.

"Like, pornographic dreams." Casey said.

"Oh." Sally said awkwardly.

"Well, I just wanted to let you know that it's ok. It's just a dream, and I don't think we should let it affect our friendship." Casey said.

"Thank you." Sally smiled. "I wouldn't ever try to take advantage of you. You know that, right?"

"Of course I do." Casey smiled back. They shared a short, friendly hug and continued the rest of the ride home.

Each were thinking of the same thing during the ride though, how would their friendship be changed because of this?

Sally kept thinking about how she was going to have to share a bed with Casey tonight, and sneak her in without her parents noticing that she'd been drinking.

Casey was feeling a lot better after throwing up, she was unsure about the rest of the weekend. They were planning to go shopping together tomorrow. "Om my god!" Casey said loudly and suddenly. Sally jerked the car slightly.

"What is it?" Sally asked.

"Nothing, I just realized something Derek did a while ago." Casey said.

In reality, she was thinking about a few of the times she and Sally went shopping together. They had gotten underwear together, Casey even got a sexy corset set with Sally as a joke one time. To keep Derek from snooping in her stuff, they got it for Casey to hide in her room so he would get grossed out a leave her room the hell alone. It worked.

What if Sally liked her back then? Or, what if Sally liked her back then and didn't even realize it yet? Casey now had so many questions racing through her head. She just wanted to get home, shower, and get to bed.

Sally tried to focus on the road, but the tension in the car was making that hard. They weren't far now, but Sally needed to lighten the mood. "So, do you want to play a game?" She asked.

"Sure why not?" Casey answered.

"Ok." Sally tried to think of a game. "What about I Spy?"

"No thanks, my vision isn't at its best right now." Casey said. "We could just talk."

"That works too." Sally gulped. "What do you want to talk about?"

"I just think that we should get things straight." Casey said.

"Maybe we should wait until we're both sober." Sally said.

"But I really think we need to talk about this before we go to bed."

"Ok, what do you want to know?"

"So do you like me? Like, like me like me?"

"I'm not sure." Sally pulled off the highway and they were a matter of blocks from the house.

"Did you wanna find out?" Casey asked while tilting her head towards Sally in a slightly seductive way.

"Casey, what are you doing?"

"I don't really know, but I figure tomorrow I can say I was drunk and I didn't mean whatever I do tonight." She inched her hand until it was on top of Sally's leg.

Sally jerked the car for the second time that night. She pulled into the driveway. "Casey, we're home." She looked at the hand that was sitting right above her knee. She hated to admit it to herself, but she liked it.

"Ok." Casey removed her hand and took her seatbelt off. She was a little uncoordinated while walking to the front door, but seemed pretty sober. They quietly made their way through the dark house to Casey's bedroom.
