Today was graduation- to say that Slate was excited was an understatement, he's been waiting eight weeks for this, now he was ready for the fronts lines. "Well, we made it guys." Slate said with massive amounts in pride.

"Yeah,we did. You want head to a bar after?" Gideon asked

"FUCK YEAH!" Alex shouted, Slate was surprised with Alex's enthusiasm

"What's with the enthusiasm?" Slate asked with a slight chuckle

"Just cause." that caused Slate to roll his eyes, but not out of ill intent, But the what he was also happy about was that he was seeing his younger sister; she was probably missing him very much, And then there was his mom as well, hopefully she wasn't too mad with his choice to join the army, They were probably on there way, it'll be nice to see them again. He began to wonder about Gideon's family- what would they be like? He couldn't wait to meet them. A couple hours later and the families arrived, Slate made sure that his uniform was on point, he wanted to look good for his family, when he saw his family, he noticed that they looked happier than usual, he wondered why.

"You guys look chipper."

"Mom's divorcing dad's ass."

"Really?"

"Yeah, and the asshole won't get a single dime from Mom."

"Good."

Slate's mother saw Gideon and Alex, she asked Slate about them in japanese

"That's Gideon and Alex."

Slate's mother nodded, Slate than noticed something shiny on Adelines hand

"What's that you got Adeline?"

"Oh this?" Adeline held up her hand, Slate noticed a ring on Adeline's finger.

"What's that Adeline?"

"It's an engagement ring." Slate was filled with joy- his sister was getting married, he hugged her.

"Oh my God i'm so proud of you."

"I know i'm so excited!"

Slate noticed Gideon looking over his shoulder

"Hey."

"Okay, okay."

"I'll see you sis." Slate added, he then walked back to Gideon and Alex. Slate was wondering how they were going to get there?

"Um, Gideon…"

"Yeah?"

"How the fuck are we getting to the bar?"

"Alex is asking his dad to borrow the car."

"Of course he is."

"Don't judge." Slate just sighed

"And I take it he's going to borrow money too?"

"Probably, unless you have any money on you."

"Nope." Slate lied, of course he did have money on him and even more at the hotel he was originally staying at, but he not going to tell them that, That was his secret; though that did give him an idea for a prank, He was going to prank Gideon he was going to have to get him really drunk first, He started to grin.

The group of them we're at the bar; so far, Gideon was almost to the level of drunkenness he wanted him to be, Slate started to get his plan in motion. Slate pulled his link warp out and called the hotel, He set Gideon up. after he finished setting Gideon up, he turned to Alex who was tipsy and singing the national anthem, Slate started to laugh just for the hell of it Slate joined in.

Slate was driving to the hotel, Gideon was passed out in the car- he stopped suddenly a couple times just to wake him up "Wha-?" Gideon asked

"We're getting close to the hotel."

"Okay."

It was an hour later when they reached the hotel, he walked Gideon up to the reception room, Gideon was so drunk he didn't know what was happening. Slate rung the bell, he then waited; a couple minutes later and the receptionist walked up to the counter. Slate's plan was set into motion.

"How may I help you?" the receptionist asked

"my friend needs a room."

"Okay, would he like some company?"

"Yes he would." the receptionist nodded and signaled for one of the skimpily dressed women to escort Gideon to his room, Slate grinned Gideon's reaction will be priceless when sobers up in the morning. Slate started to walk out and headed to his room.

Gideon woke up hungover and sore "What the hell?" he tried to move but found himself handcuffed to the bed, He looked around in a panic- where the fuck was he? And where was Slate? He almost shouted for help until he saw a thing on the bedside table- it was a note, Gideon reached for it with his free hand and read it, the following said "Dear naughty boy, you gave one hell of a show last night, when you wake up you'll find this note beside it will be the key for the set of handcuffs. SINcerely- Candy" when Gideon read that his eyes went wide, he was going kill Slate. Gideon saw the key and began to reach "Come on." he got the key and then began to undo the cuff. He started to off the bed and get dressed, as he got dressed he noticed scratch marks all over himself "Dammit." as he continued getting dressed, he wondered what sort of stuff he kinky did when drunk, he couldn't get that out of his head.

Slate woke up in a bad mood, his prank backfired when he found out that Gideon's room was right next to his and to make things worse he was loud, he didn't get much sleep. He started to crawl out of bed, Maybe coffee would help? Slate started to make his way to the main lobby, nn his way out he noticed Gideon- he didn't look too happy, The two of them didn't say anything to each other, but Gideon seemed a little scared of the face Slate was making because he looked like he was ready to rip out his skull and beat him to death with it, he started to think about finding another way. "Fuck you." Slate said with venom over-saturating his words, Gideon froze.

"What the hell did I do?" Slate rolled his eyes "No I'm serious I can't remember a God Damn thing what the fuck happened last night because I was so fucking shit faced that alcoholics would say that I have a fucking problem."

"You had Sex ditshit."

*One week later*

Slate and the others we're now positioned at a base, their base was in Germany- Berlin to be exact, And learning the language was hard, luckily for them, Gideon was there to help them out as he took German in high school. And then there was what class they were? Alex was going to be a medic and Gideon wanted to get a dog, and Slate was specializing in espionage and recognisances, Slate was reviewing notes, that was his least favorite thing to do He sighed
"I fucking hate taking notes." It felt like a history class all over again except worse, He was about to lose it, that was the case till Tanya got his attention "Oh Tanya. Hi."

"Hey there."

"What's up?" Tanya smirked, she pushed Slate's notes down and kissed him "Tanya." he said surprised, Tanya kept kissing Slate "Tanya stop it."

"Why?" Tanya asked flirtatiously

"I'm trying to review my notes."

"And it looked like you were about to unload a clip of 9mm on them." He hated to Admit it she was right- he was almost ready to shoot his notes to shreds, He grinned then kissed her back.

Alex and Gideon where walking together in the Hall, the two were discussing Norse Mythology, but they saw slate and Tanya, Alex wasn't too fond of the sight. Tanya had a negative reputation- especially with Alex, the two dated a couple years ago and the reason why they broke up was because he caught her cheating. Gideon was more surprised than the look on Alex's face "AHEM!" Slate and Tanya stopped. Slate saw a shocked Gideon and a pissed off Alex.

"Um."

"Tanya, get the fuck out of the room."

" are you still jealous Alex?"

"GET OUT!"

"okay." Tanya started to walk out of the room, as she walked out Alex started smoking, Slate looked at Alex.

"Alex what the hell!?"

"I'm preventing bad Things Slate."

"She and I used to date we stopped when I caught her making out with another guy."

"Okay.

"trust me when I say this, If she had the the chance, she could easily shoot you in the stomach five times and not shed a single tear."
