"For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good felloooowwww that nobody can deny!" The guys were all singing as they passed him over their heads. His feet rested safely back on the ground and David passed him his beer. Just then, the lights went out and were replaced by faint red illumination coming from the bar. The music faded out and a voice came over the sound system.
"Well, well, well, looks like we have some special guests here tonight folks." A woman in dressed in all black leather appeared on the bar. "So, who would the jolly good fellow be?" David wasted no time in raising Killian's arm. "Well, next round is on us gents!" The party of men shouted and wooped. "And… I suppose there's nothing else to say except, enjoy the show!" She turned then to face the back of the bar. The lights began to flash and then went out completely again. When the red glow reappeared there were now six women along the bar and on the small stage behind it, all in the same leather outfits. He could tell it was going to be a great night. His phone vibrated in his pocket as the women began to dance. Ruby's caller ID appeared on screen. He gave David his drink and shouted over the music that he would be back in a sec.
"Hello?" He held one finger in his ear as he pushed the door to exit into the small glass porch of the club.
"Killian? Can you hear me?"
"Yeah, what's up? Is everything okay?" He was a bit panicked since Ruby never called unless there was an emergency, she only ever texted.
"Emma's fine, don't worry. There was a… altercation at the bar with Ariel and her ex. She punched him and broke her hand so Regina and I are with her at the emergency room. Emma and the others are still at the bar, but Emma seemed a bit gutted that we had to leave so I have a proposal for you." He was intrigued.
"Okay, go ahead."
"Well, how would you feel about getting the guys to the bar where Emma and the girls are? It would be so much more fun for everyone to be together and everyone is mates with everyone so it's not like it'll be awkward. Plus, Emma managed to get everyone free drinks!"
"That's a great idea, Rubz! Right, give us 10 minutes and I'll get the lads down there!"
"Awesome! Oh and Killian don't call her or let anyone call anyone at the bar, I want it to be a surprise for Em!" She sounded giddy with excitement.
"No worries, see you in a bit, send Ariel my best."
"Will do, see you in a bit." He hung up and headed back into the club. The dancers had gone and the lads were all laughing.
"Listen up lads! My dear fiancée's friend has managed to end up in the emergency room with a couple of her other party-goers and apparently she seems a bit down. So, we are going to combine the parties and meet the girls at the bar they're at." The men all looked a little unsure. "There's free drinks!"
"Weeeyyyyyyy!" That sold it and with a last downing of drinks the men headed out to various trucks and cars and drove off towards his fiancée and her friends.
