Christmas come and goes and within a few days it is new years and the two teens have spent the night drinking.

Gokudera a bit and rolls onto his back.

"Ngh…" He sits up slowly and runs his hand through his hair. Clenches his head. "S-Shit."

Phoenix rolls off the couch.

"Ow…" She covers her eyes. "I am going to kill you."

Gokudera cracks an eye open to look at Phoenix.

"First you want to jump my bones and now you want to kill me?"

Aydan moans and turns to look at Gokudera.

"Ah…sorry. Wrong drinking partner." She furrows her eyebrows. "What happened to your shirt?"

Gokudera looks down to see his shirt missing.

"I don't even fucking know…"

"Well…I have to say I like this look…" She shakes her head. "If my head hurts I don't even want to know how you're feeling…"

Gokudera stares at her.

"Your head simply 'hurts'!"

Gokudera clutches his head.

"Fallow." Phoenix walks slowly to her parents memory trunk. "I know you're in here somewhere."

Gokudera quirks and eyebrow

"Am I still drunk?"

Gokudera look around in a confused haze.

"No, Fallow takes the worst of the hangover as feed…" Phoenix pulls out a large leather book. "Ah-ha! I knew I put you in here."

She sits down next to Gokudera and leans on him.

"That makes no sense…" Gokudera leans back. "I feel like sleeping for the next decade."

"I have a cure for that."

Phoenix starts flipping through the book.

"Witchcraft?"

"Food."

Gokudera grins.

"Now we're talking."

"You say that now." Phoenix takes a closer look at the book. "Does that look Italian to you?"

Gokudera feels his mouth begin to water.

"Yeah…"

"Okay, I'll make that later." Phoenix keeps flipping through the book. "Where the hell is that hangover section!" Gokudera feels himself start to drift off to sleep again. "Oi! Stay awake. I found the damn section…how do you feel about eating ash?"

Gokudera groans.

"Ash? What the hell?"

"Yes ash. It's an old fix that works every time. Now will you eat ash to get rid of the hangover?"

"Is it going to kill me?"

"It hasn't killed me yet."

"Fine."

"Good." Phoenix stands. "I'm going to need your help."

Gokudera looks up at his girlfriend in shock.

"I can barely think straight. I can't help…"

"You need to or it won't work."

Phoenix pulls Gokudera to his feet but they are so hung over they almost fall back over.

"Well what do I have to do?"

"Make eggs."

"That's not too hard. Okay.

"But make it your way…okay?"

"My way?"

"Yes, your way. Forget everything I taught you."

Gokudera shrugs.

"Okay then."

"Thank you."

Gokudera walks unsteadily into the kitchen and Phoenix pick up the book.

"Oh way! You need to put rum in it."

"Rum? Why?"

"I don't know." Phoenix walks into the kitchen. "That's just what the books says. You wanna know ask my ancestors."

"Freaking leprechauns…"

Gokudera rubs his head and walks to the stove.

"Actually I think the person who came up with this hosted a Fire Bird…" Phoenix pulls out a few things from the fridge and mixes them in a bowl. "Eggs done yet?"

"Almost."

Gokudera keeps cooking.

"Okay…God I hate this part."

Phoenix takes a deep breath and grabs a knife, pulling the blade across her fingers. Red bubbles around the line. Gokudera hears her gasp and glances back at her.

"HEY! What are you doing!"

He rushes over to Phoenix and grabs her hand, inspecting the cut.

"Blood of a Lynch."

Phoenix shrugs and Gokudera looks at her like she's crazy.

"No…Let's find some other hangover remedy."

"Too late." Phoenix lets the blood drip into the mixture. "I'm fine. Go cook the eggs."

Gokudera frowns and glances back at the eggs.

"Shit!"

Gokudera runs over to the stove and tries to fan away the smoke, shutting off the flame. Phoenix smirks slightly.

"God I love you. Now mix the eggs into this."

She points to the bowl and Gokudera did as he was told.

"Like this."

"Yeah."

Phoenix grabs a napkin and stares at it, it erupts into flame and soon it dies out, leaving a pile of ash in her hand. Gokudera's eyes widen.

"Nice."

"Blood of a Lynch and Ask of a Phoenix. They're powerful stuff."

"Sounds like some crazy voodoo."

Gokudera nods in approval.

"Don't call Phoenix Ash and Lynch Blood voodoo. That's like asking to be killed."

Phoenix mixes the ash in and separates the mixture into two bowls, handing one to Gokudera. The silver-haired teen laughs.

"It's voodoo. Good voodoo, thought. Trust me, it's a cool thing." He grabs the bowl. "Cheers?"

Phoenix lifts the bowl slightly.

"I have known many like not a few, loved only one, I drink to you."

Phoenix drains the bowl.
