Characters aren't mine. I've taken the liberties I wanted for the storyline, but the characters belong to Showcase and Lost Girl.

R&R appreciated. Enjoy!

Chapter 5

"So…"

"So?"

Lauren looked at Bo with a curious look. It had been a week or so since Katya left and this was the first time the two were hanging out alone together since then. Bo had called Lauren asking her to come over under the pretext of working on a case, but in actuality she just wanted to spend some time with the Doc. Things had been so busy for the past few weeks that she genuinely missed spending time with the blonde. Heck, she hadn't even seen that much of Dyson or Kenzi lately and that was strange in and of itself. Bo was feeling slightly abandoned after they returned from France and she was doing her best to reach out to those who she cared about. Not wanting to seem needy though, Bo knew she had to tread lightly with the Doctor who probably already figured out she had no real reason to ask her to come over. Bo didn't like feeling like she needed a reason to see the human and she put the blame on Tamsin for keeping Lauren's few spare moments occupied.

Bo sighed. "So…how are you? I feel like I haven't seen you in ages."

Lauren set the file she was looking at down on the table and gave Bo a genuine smile. "It has been busy hasn't it? Although, in all fairness, Katya did come all the way over here to let us know things were getting hectic right?"

Bo wrinkled her eyebrows. "Yeah that's not what I'm talking about. I mean I just miss you…kind of…I guess."

Lauren laughed. "You guess?"

Bo smiled. "Okay maybe more than I guess."

Lauren took a sip of her wine and turned her body to face the young Fae. "So what have you been up to? I mean besides the craziness that's been the Fae world lately?"

Bo laughed. "Well…Kenzi has conjured up some elaborate scheme to expand our private investigative service. Although I'm not sure her methods are totally legit."

Lauren smiled and nodded. It wasn't surprising that the young human was working some type of scheme to keep them busy. Bo looked over at her with a smile. "What about you?"

Lauren shrugged. "Honestly, just busy with work. It seems there aren't quite enough hours in the day to deal with all the patients that have been coming in to the lab. I'm hopeful that it will slow down soon, but from the looks of things I doubt it."

Bo nodded. "Hows Tamsin?"

Lauren looked surprised. "Well…she's good. Busy with Dyson and their cases. I don't think those two have slept more than a few hours in the past few days."

Bo nodded again. "I believe it. I haven't heard from him either. I wonder if they have made any headway with the tattoo thing they found?"

Lauren shook her head. "Not sure. I haven't been able to find anything in the archives about the symbol either."

Bo bit her lip. She was concerned about what the symbol could mean, but she didn't get the sense that there was any imminent danger so she didn't think too much of it.

"What up biyatches!"

Kenzi strolled into the clubhouse with a grand entrance and tossed her bag on the couch before taking a seat next to Lauren at the island countertop. "So what we got going on tonight?"

She looked at the notes and the empty Chinese takeout boxes and the opened bottle of wine and rubbed her hands together. "Some new mysterious Fae? Big bad of the week? OH are we going on another Fae-scursion?"

Bo shook her head and laughed. "No, no and no. Just doing some research on our latest case here."

Kenzi scrunched her face. "Boring. Come on what are we doing? We are three very hot, very fun, did I mention very hot ladies! We need to be out on the town enjoying this Saturday night…not sitting around like a bunch of college students cramming for finals."

Bo raised an eyebrow. "I thought you didn't go to college?"

Kenzi laughed. "No my dear I said I didn't attend college. I've frequented my fair share of institutes of higher to know how it works…right Hotpants?"

Lauren rolled her eyes and laughed at Kenzi's antics. "Sure Kenzi, it 'works' something like that."

Kenzi slapped the table and jumped up. "So come on! What do you say we ditch the study sesh and head to the Dahl? I haven't visited my free bar tab in a while and I think it's getting lonely."

Bo and Lauren rolled their eyes but eventually agreed. After spending the past few hours looking at the case file they could use a break and they probably wouldn't get anything else done for the rest of the night anyway. The three women headed to the bar with Kenzi leading the charge as she rambled on about needing a break from all the craziness and a good night of drinking was just the cure. The entered the watering hole and were shocked to find it mostly empty for a weekend night. There were a few groups of people scattered throughout the bar but for the most part it was pretty chill. Kenzi hopped on over to the bar to grab some drinks while Bo and Lauren went over to the couches to grab a spot. They claimed the set of couches near the back of the bar and got comfortable as Kenzi returned with a pitcher of beer, a bottle of whiskey and a large smile. She set the drinks down on the table and poured out a shot for each of them along with a glass of beer. They toasted the evening and soon settled in for a night of fun.

Three hours later

Dyson and Tamsin strolled in to the bar and Trick greeted them immediately. He pointed to the couches where Bo, Lauren and Kenzi were sitting with a sigh. Apparently the ladies were getting a bit too rambunctious for the barkeep and he called in backup.

Tamsin could hear the banter from across the bar and she smirked in amusement at the three ladies who were struggling to contain themselves in their drunken state. Dyson nodded to Trick and the two Detectives walked over to the threesome.

"Evening ladies."

Dyson tried to sound suave but it came off more sarcastic than anything and Bo threw a pretzel at him in protest. Dyson and Tamsin were slightly impressed at the display of alcoholic containers on the table. There was the empty bottle of whiskey, three empty pitchers, what looked to be about a dozen tequila shot glasses and now it appeared they had moved on to the buckthorn. Tamsin raised an eyebrow at Lauren who barely managed to stand up before she sort of fell/slid into Tamsin's quick reaction grip. Tamsin sat back on the armchair she bumped up again as Lauren all but crawled into her lap.

"Hi…"

"Hi babe!"

Lauren's smile could have lit up the entire city of Toronto at that point and Kenzi and Bo laughed at the Doc's goofy grin. Kenzi leaned forward and not so quietly began to sing. "Lauren and Tamsin sittin in a tree, k-i-s-s-s-i-n-g."

Bo burst out in laughter. "You have too many esses…or sss..or well too many s's."

Kenzi smirked. "No, not if you're doing it right."

Tamsin rolled her eyes at the other two as she looked down at Lauren with a smile. She'd never ever ever seen the Doctor like this and truth be told she was kind of enjoying it. Well, sort of enjoying it save for the fact that Lauren was apparently trying to cop a feel in the middle of the bar. Not exactly Tamsin's idea of a good time. She eased Lauren back down to the armchair and shook her head at the other two.

"Geez did you guys leave Trick with any left?"

Bo rolled her eyes. "We were just enjoying a night of relaxation and fun. Something you apparently know nothing about."

Tamsin gave her an amused smile. While it would be fun to trade barbs with her in this state, she was honestly too tired and cranky to indulge in the fun. Lauren however, was not.

"Hey wait a minute there…Tamsin is plenty fun."

Bo snorted as she giggled uncontrollably. "Oh really? I'm talking outside the bedroom there hun. I mean what do you guys do all day, braid each other's hair?"

Kenzi gave Bo a high five. "That would be awesome. Oh oh, we should so have a night of dress up and hit up some random clubs!"

Lauren shook her head as she tried to sit up and only slightly slurred her words. "Well I'll ha-have you know we are fully capable of having fun, and yes, outside the bedroom Bo. In fact, yous would be surprised at how adept Tamsin is at science and her knowledge of historical events is fascinating."

Tamsin peered down at her. "Way to make me sound like a nerd Doc. Thanks."

Bo laughed. "Okay so she has the geek speak down pat. And she's tall and gorgeous we get it sheesh."

Dyson raised his eyebrows. Even he wasn't aware of how annoyed Bo really was by Tamsin but you know what they say about alcohol…truth serum #1.

Kenzi looked at Tamsin thoughtfully. "You know, if you were a dude, I would totally…I mean why are guys so stupid? Gah…you know there should be…a rule or something. Like only smart people allowed…like the mafia."

Bo laughed heartily. "A smart people mafia? Have you been watching the Godfather movies again Kenz?"

Kenzi nodded and gave her a WTF look. "Only the best movies ever made. Now those are some guys with potential. Amirite?"

Bo and Tamsin laughed at Kenzi's expense who suddenly looked dreamy as if she were picturing them in front of her.

Lauren looked confused. "Who are the Godfathers?"

Kenzi turned to her with disbelief as Bo and Tamsin bit their lips. "Dude…you did not just say that." She glared at Tamsin. "You, missy, need to get her on that STAT."

Tamsin raised her eyebrows as she gave a slight eye roll. "Aye aye captin. Will do."

Kenzi sat back in her seat muttering about how miss know-it-all didn't know about the Godfather trilogy. Meanwhile Dyson was watching Bo pour another buckthorn shot and he raised an eyebrow. "Maybe you guys have had enough?"

Bo shook her head without even looking up. "There's never enough when it comes to alcohol and sex I always say."

Kenzi sat up and slapped her leg. "Damn straight. Now gimmie one of those."

Bo passed her a shot and handed one over to Lauren who suddenly didn't look so good. Being human her constitution wasn't as good as Bo's or even Kenzi's who could probably drink her bodyweight in alcohol and still feel fine. Lauren shook her head and Tamsin reached for the shot and took it for her. She made a slight face at the initial taste and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

"Okay well before this one here pukes all over you guys I'm gonna take her home. I'll see you back at the station?"

Dyson waived. "Let's just meet for breakfast tomorrow. Nothing more we're gonna do tonight anyway."

Tamsin nodded as she got Lauren to her feet after a few failed attempts. Bo and Kenzi were giggling nonstop while witnessing the ordeal and Tamsin shot them a death glare for getting Lauren so drunk. She wasn't sure what she was supposed to do in this situation but she figured getting the blonde home and into bed would be the first step in dealing with the massive hangover she was going to have the next day.

The drive home was complicated as Lauren kept insisting she was fine and trying to crawl into Tamsin's lap while she drove stating that she missed her and they hadn't gotten to spend any time together over the past week. Tamsin finally had to literally strap Lauren down into the seat and tighten the seatbelt, because for some reason Lauren couldn't figure out how to release it, just to make it safely to the loft. Once inside the contents of Lauren's stomach decided they needed to make an appearance and she spent about an hour or so hanging over the toilet. Tamsin sighed knowing how crappy she felt and was going to feel the next day so she did what she could to make her comfortable and finally just let her sleep next to the toilet because Lauren didn't want to move. Tamsin made her a makeshift bed using some extra towels and stuff and when she heard Lauren snoring, loudly I might add, she finally resigned to falling asleep in the hallway so she was close by in case Lauren started puking again. If this didn't earn her a few nights of lovin once Lauren recuperated then Tamsin didn't know what would.

So the drunkenness was actually much harder to write than I thought…maybe I need more practice LOL The intent was for this just to be a fun chapter for our characters. Let me know what you thought…thanks for reading!
