The Vic was pretty packed with everyone coming out for karaoke night. Eventhough many people seemed to think karaoke was a little bit of cheap entertainment, and many said no at first when asked to sing a tune, after a couple of drinks the microphone was working overtime and so did Alfie and Kat, who were glad to have extra hands with Ryan and Tracey to help out.
- 'Jacky boy, what can I get you?' Alfie said, putting up a smile as Jack waved to him to help him out with some drinks.
- 'Two G&T's, orange juice, a vodka coke with ice in it, oh and I'll have a Lager please' Jack said 'great night right Alfie'.
- 'Yeah this is how it should be every week' Alfie said' so you're gonna sing us a song then Jack?'
- 'Better not, you want to keep a packed pub Alfie' Jack smiled' I ehm, we have to be at the club tonight, we have a private party there'.
- 'We, you mean you and Ronnie then, not taking the rest with ya right?' Alfie asked again.
- 'No just me and Ron, the girls are gonna stay here' Jack said.
- 'Dad, you got my drink, I'm gonna sit overthere with the girls and Peter' Robbie said as she had walked up to the bar wondering what Jack took so long.
- 'Here you go darling' Alfie said handing Robbie the orange juice 'you going to sing some tunes tonight then Robbie? '
- 'Nah, this is just a right laugh, these people crack me up so bad' Robbie said pointing at someone who was obviously singing out of tune.
- 'You better behave yourself tonight yeah, gonna have uncle Alfie and auntie Kat here to keep an eye on you peanut' Jack joked pinching Robbie's nose.
- 'Keep an eye on that one?' Kat said as she joined Alfie 'then I'll have to neglect my punters like all night'.
They all laughed and Robbie took her drink and walked away sighing.
- Just juice Robbie? ' Lauren asked a little cheeky.
Robbie smiled 'what are you up to "cous" she asked as she sat down next to Peter and Whitney.
- 'Well, I brought my own little friend here, mister Jacky D, I got it from my dad's house' Lauren said secretly showing a little bottle of Whisky, hidden in the shoulderbag she was carrying.
- 'You cheek!' Whitney said 'oh this night couldn't get any better'.
- 'Oh yes it can' Peter said making the group look at Abi and Jay walking in, Abi looking a little nervous bringing Jay over. They first walked over to Tanya and Gregg who were on the other side of the bar.
- 'Great!' Robbie said.
- 'Alright, just keep your calm yeah' Peter said 'just ignore him, and besides he said sorry so let him prove he was honest about that'.
- 'Alright "dad" 'Robbie said 'so what's with Luce then?'
- 'She's not feeling well, been throwing up all day, she looks horrible' Peter said.
- 'Well glad she didn't give it to you then' Robbie said 'Laur can you pour me one' Robbie handed her glass under the table.
Peter looked around and no one really noticed it, he grinned a little about the girls always being a little cheeky.

A little later, Glenda came out of the ladiesroom and put the lipstick, she used to put on in there, back in her purse as she walked by Ian.
- 'Hey Glenda' Ian said making her look up.
- 'What do you want?' Glenda immediately asked being suspicious.
- 'Nothing nothing 'Ian said putting his arms up 'I ehm, well I noticed you walking into the ladies, you look ehm, dashing, as always!'
Glenda, always having a soft spot for compliments on her looks, smiled as if she was flattered.
- 'Why thank you mister Beale' Glenda said 'so you do talk sense sometimes'.
- 'Yeah well…'Ian didn't really know what to say as Glenda moved next to him at the bar, he got a little nervous.
- 'Oh I'm sorry did I make you nervous' Glenda said in a smooth way 'just get me a G&T'.
- 'Ehm no ofcourse not…alright, ehm Ryan can I have a G&T mate?' Ian stuttered a bit.
Glenda just grinned a little mischievous.
Ryan got Glenda's drink and put it down, while Ian put some money on the bar.
- 'Cheers' Glenda said to Ian.
Ian smiled.
- 'So where's little Janey then?' Glenda asked while taking a sip of her drink.
- 'Ehm somewhere overthere' Ian was pointing obviously not really interested where his wife was 'she's getting ready to sing I think, been practicing all week for it'.
- 'What about you, you're gonna sing later then?' Glenda asked.
- 'No, not really my thing' Ian said smiling a bit.
- 'So what is it then…I mean your thing?' Glenda asked looking around the Vic, she wasn't really curious what the answer was, she just made some small talk while finishing her drink .
- 'Well I could think of a couple of things' Ian said giving Glenda a cheeky smile.
- 'Mr Beale, you're being a bit naughty here now are you' Glenda said raising her eyebrows to Ian making him smile even more.
- 'Maybe I ehm…need to be taught a lesson then' Ian said fidgeting a little with some of the coasters that were on the bar.
Glenda just looked at Ian for a minute.
- 'Excuse me?' Glenda said putting the drink down 'is that why you started cheap talking to me?'
- 'I don't know, ehm is that how Phil use to do it, I mean "cheaptalk"to get you in the bed?' Ian said suddenly having a little vicious look.
Glenda looked a little shocked and looked around if someone had heard of what was just said, but everyone else seem to just be enjoying themselves with a drink or watching the karaoke-artists.
- 'What are you talking about?' Glenda hissed at a smirking Ian.
- ' Ow I know Glenda, I know about you and Phil, your little adventure together' Ian said taking a sip of his drink looking suddenly really full of himself.
- 'I really don't know where you get this nonsense from Ian, but you really lost me' Glenda said wanting to walk away but Ian grabbed her arm.
- 'You're in a hurry all at once Glenda, why don't you finish your drink first, see what we can come up with' Ian said handing Glenda her drink.
- 'Come up with what Ian, what are you talking about you silly man' Glenda said trying to get away from Ian.
- 'Well how we're going to deal with this, I mean I don't think Phil would like Shirley to find out about this now do we?' Ian said.
- 'Just get out of my face alright' Glenda said as she threw the rest of her drink into Ian's face. She grabbed her purse of the bar and walked away leaving Ian standing smiling at the bar. This wasn't far from over.
As Glenda was walking back to her table, her oldest daughters were standing next to it doing some routine dance together.
- 'Mum remember this one' Roxy said laughing at her mother who's face wasn't looking so happy but Glenda put up a smile not to let the girls know what just happened.
- 'Oh definitely Rox!' Glenda said and joined her eldest girls in a dance.
Xx
- 'Wow what is that, what are they doing?' Lauren said laughing at seeing Ronnie, Roxy and Glenda dancing together.
- 'God please let this song be over soon' Robbie said hiding her face in her hands feeling a bit embarrassed around her friends, but the punters of the Vic seem to like it as they were cheering the three women on.
- 'Oh my god Robbie go on join them' Whitney said teasing ' could you get us some drinks then maybe, I don't have enough money on me anymore'.
- 'Yeah alright, don't worry about it, Laur do you still have some left' Robbie said winking at her cousin, meaning the bottle with Whisky.
- 'Yeah just a little bitty bit' Lauren said a little drunk already 'better get some drinks'.
- 'Think it might be last rounds, in a bit' Robbie said 'this party is gonna come to an end hopefully if they keep dancing like that, I'm going to miss you mister gorge'. Robbie said on Peters lap and put her arms around his neck taking no notice of her mums and sister dancing a little bit closer to the kids table anymore.
- 'Robin!' Glenda snapped as the three of them were dancing through the Vic, dancing to the teens table seeing her youngest on Peters lab and all over him.
Robbie took no notice of anything said to her, her eyes were on her gorgeous boyfriend who just kept looking into her eyes. Cause of the alcohol , she felt a little tipsy which meant that she couldn't care less about what she was doing or what others would be seeing of it.
As she leaned over to kiss Peter fully on the lips Glenda grabbed Robbie's arm and pulled her of Peter.
- 'Oi let go of me!' Robbie said then started laughing 'you know what a fool you made of yourself dancing like that, you people have no shame?'.
- 'Didn't you hear me madam, get over here and you better not start getting lippy with me!' Glenda said looking serious as the older daughters joined.
- 'What's going on here?' Ronnie, laughing about the dancing, turned into her serious-mode too as she witnessed her mother pulling Robbie off of Peter.
- 'Just go back to your girly dancing alright, I'm not spoiling your so called fun so don't you spoil mine, I'm here with my friends having a good time' Robbie said pushing Glenda's hands away.
- 'Are we a little jealous Robbie ey' Roxy then said 'couldn't wait to join us but you don't know our cool moves, it's written all over your face babe, sorry you were planned like a decade later or maybe 2 even, otherwise you would've been able to do this cool dancing with us'.
- 'Jealous of what, you call that dancing, I rather would call it the "look how stupid we can look-dance"' Robbie said sitting down on Peters lab again.
- 'Oi oi Robbie what's this all about, sorry you weren't born then yet babes' Ronnie said 'but we have dances we did while we were in Ibiza right, don't act so silly alright?'
- 'See and I missed all of that, and Ronnie is right, don't act so silly about us dancing together' Glenda said.
- 'Can't believe we really talking about this, about you being jealous Robbie, jealous of what, can't you just stop moaning about us having a good time for once?' Roxy said looking a little annoyed.
- 'Well cause we had this together Rox, but I know what we shared with you little one, or should I say Punky- pampers' Glenda said proudly with a smile.
- 'Oh my god what was that?' Whitney asked already started to laugh.
- 'Well when Robin was just a couple of months the girls used to help me out with the baby, and sometimes when we gave her a bath, the girls used to spike up her hair and then when we got her out and put her clean nappies on we used to call her Punky-Pampers, cause…well that's what she looked like, our little punky in pampers' Glenda was telling the teens proudly, being able to tell something of the time she did share with all her girls.
- 'Oh i remember that, do you Ron' Roxy said.
Whitney and Lauren started to laugh out loud, Peter grinned a bit while Roxy laughed with the girls.
- 'Yeah I remember cute little Punky-pampers' Ronnie said already knowing this was probably going to set Robbie off in a minute.
- 'Great!' Robbie said who stood up and pushed a laughing out loud Roxy aside and walked away through the Vic pushing the people out of her way.
- 'Let me' Ronnie said to Glenda and Roxy, as she ran after Robbie who walked to the ladiesroom. Ronnie quickly walked into the ladiesroom too. Robbie had gotten into one of the toilets.
- 'I'm sorry Robbie' Ronnie said looking at the closed toiletsdoors knowing that Robbie was in one of them' I'm sorry for what was just brought up, it was actually really cute back then sweety, but ehm…I understand it's something you don't want to hear in front of your friends right!'
There was no answer back.
- 'Come out please' Ronnie said 'No need for you to sit in there all night'.
The door opened and Robbie came out.
Ronnie walked over to Robbie to give her a cuddle for comfort after obviously a very embarrassing moment for Robbie.
- 'You know how embarrassing that was, I'm not gonna hear the end of it' Robbie said a little angry while Ronnie put her arms around her.
Then Ronnie stood back again and looked at Robbie strictly.
- 'What?' Robbie asked noticing something was up with her mum.
- 'That better not be alcohol I smell on you, is it?' Ronnie then suddenly said, her standing close to a complaining Robbie made her smell the Whiskey on her breath.
Robbie just looked guilty, she knew she could have come up with any other excuse but her mum was not really the one to be fooled easily. She had heard all excuses before already.
- 'God Robbie, how many times do I have to tell you, now who served you that?' Ronnie asked serious.
Ronnie bringing the drinking up, being caught again, made Robbie forget about the embarrassment her mum Glenda just made.
- 'Can we just forget about it' Robbie said' I mean you dancing together was painful enough to last a lifetime'.
Ronnie sighed deeply 'you want more of it, want me to smack your bottom while walking out here Robin Branning Mitchell, I don't think you have any reason to try to make a joke about it alright, am I clear?'
- 'Can we just go home?' Robbie asked then softly.
- 'Ow I'm making sure you're going home honey, mum is going to take you home tonight' Ronnie said 'you're going to stay at mum and Roxy's tonight cause I've got to go to the club, I can't just leave Jack alone there, we've got a club to run'.
- 'I thought you just said you was going to take me home' Robbie asked.
- 'You should be glad I have to go to the club or else ….'Ronnie said strictly when suddenly the door opened and Roxy and Glenda walked in.
- 'I think it's time to take you home little one right?' Glenda said looking at both Robbie and Ronnie.
- 'Yeah could you please mum, I mean I would take her home myself but I really don't wanna leave Jack alone at the club, make sure she gets to bed right away, they have been drinking again, well this one at least' Ronnie said scratching her forehead while looking at Robbie.
- 'What?..ehm yeah I've had about enough for tonight' Glenda said 'come on trouble!'.
- 'Yeah and then in the morning we'll give you a bath and spike your hair ok, punky pampers' Roxy couldn't help making another joke about it.
- 'Roxy shusss think we had about enough for tonight alright!' Ronnie hissed.
- 'Glad it's you they call the stupid sister of us three!' Robbie said giving Roxy an angry look.
Roxy walked up to Robbie but Ronnie warned them both.
- 'Alright, home you, thanks mum, and we, we'll have a good talk in the morning!' Ronnie said to Robbie 'don't even think of giving any more trouble yeah or you for that matter!' then she looked at Roxy
Glenda lead Robbie out of the Ladiesroom, who walked straight for the door to get out of the Vic. Robbie was still too embarrassed to say goodbye to her friends.
