Alright sooo I had my first truly negative review possibly ever. Complete with a threatening ultimatuum. I'll get to it eventually, but yes, if any of you are concerned with the amount of Ardex or any other characters...don't worry, Spashley will have their time. It's just difficult to split them up once their together because I've made them so darn perfect that it's not really true to their characters to do so. Thank you for the supportive reviews.

ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT: I just realized that this is my 225 chapter written for this site. Yay! Crazyness.

Disclaimer: You knnowww the schpeel.

REVIEWERS (Lots and lots, thannk you much.) xD

phalourie: Don't worry, they'll get through it. They always do.

(Negative) Anon: First of all, there's a way of phrasing things to get what you want. It's called a REQUEST or a SUGGESTION. Not an ultimatum where you threaten to not read this story anymore. Secondly, glad you can hide behind your anonymity and reply like a coward. Thirdly, you seriously need to chill because I AM AWARE that it's a spashley story. I need to get part of the story going with other characters to make that happen. I don't care if you read it. Just don't try to tear me down because obviously you haven't written a chapter for fanfiction in your life. I haven't gotten any reviews as rude as yours, merely concerns and I have molded the story and previous stories to those concerns. Furthermore, EVERY chapter is not about Ardex. That would be strange. Is it Ardex's point of view in every chapter? Has Ardex had the multiple sexual experiences that Spashley has? No. So chill out and read the story or calmly explain your point and I will get to it. Thanks for your ultimatum but I'm not biting.

FumblingTowardsEcstacy: Why thank you, m'lady. The moping will ensue very shortly. Now we will deal with the fallout. Plus a small cliffy.

BreakYourHeart: Nope, refuse to make them happy for more than three minutes. THREE I tell you. I knew you'd like the briley.

lilce1992: We shall see how upset she is, and what she's upset over nooow.

CharmYourPantsOff: Aw, well thank you. Glad you're enjoying it. Hope to see more reviews from you in the future.

READ, REVIEW and ENJOY!

Hangovers and Explanations

Ashley's POV

I wake up in my bed, fully clothed complete with shoes and a slightly snoring Spencer head laying on my chest. My vision clears and I wince. Fuck my head. Shit went down last night. I groan and get up, careful not to wake my girlfriend to start brewing a ton of coffee for all the unexpected sleepover guests. Luckily, Spencer and Kyla moved their flights until this evening, in case something like this should arise. How can they move them? The Davies private jet, duh. Dad needed it to fly back and forth on tour to see us, pft, like he'd fly commercial. I shuffle out into the hallway and see Coop lying on the floor outside of Arden's shut door. There's a banging noise coming from the guest room that I don't even want to know about. I see Brooke and Carmen snuggled up on the couch, asleep. And Lucy by herself on the other couch, of course Ky would already be up. Fitness yoga nut.

"Morning Ash." Kyla chirps.

"Seriously, Ky? How are you not hung over?" I growl out as I start making coffee.

"We didn't drink that much." She shrugs. Wow, they really are an old married couple.

"Yeah, well, last night sucked. Your send off didn't go so well. Well, actually it didn't involve you and

Spencer so it did go well for you." She raises a brow at me. "Coop's passed out outside of Arden's door." She narrows her eyes. "Hey, she was drunk. It was a mistake."

"Being drunk doesn't mean she gets a free pass to kiss other people." Kyla whispers angrily at me.

"Nikki kissed her. She was out of it and trying not to fall."

"So what? She held herself up by her lips? She's not always the saint people think she is, Ash." Kyla continues whispering at me with a scowl. I pour myself a cup of coffee and grab the milk and sugar, fixing myself a cup. I grab a couple other mugs for people to use, because I know people are going to want some.

"Need coffee." Carmen groans off of the couch. See. I told you.

"Already made some, Carm." I call out softly. She hops up off the couch and hear Brooke mumble, "Carm, me too."

Carmen shuffles over, rubbing her eyes. Kyla chuckles, "You Reed sisters are the same." I look to see Lucy shuffling over as well, grumbling and rubbing her back.

"Yeah, whatever." "Meh." Are the respective replies she gets back as they fix themselves a cup.

"Dude, what the fuck is that smell. Gross." That'd be Coop. "Oh right, coffee, the drink I loathe. Why the fuck am I on the floor?" She'll love it when the night comes back to her.

Carmen, Lucy, Kyla and Brooke all sit on the couch, snuggled up with their respective partners. I see Spencer help up Coop off of the floor. Aww, my girl's so nice.

Spencer shuffles over to me and I give her her cup already made. She grins at me gratefully and kisses my cheek. Coop stumbles over, rubbing her side. Her cheek is sporting a bruise and her lip is still slightly split. "Fucking hell, the floor hurts." Kyla sends her a glare which makes Coop give a confused look and turn to me. I mouth 'kiss' to her and she furrows her brows when suddenly it hits her and her brows shoot up. "Shit." Her hands cover her face as she sits down on the carpet in the living room.

"Yes, it's what you are." Kyla snarls out and Lucy bumps her slightly, pleading for her to just let it go.

Spencer wraps an arm around my waist. " Glad we moved our flight. This might take a while."

Oh right, you need to know what happened last night, wellll….

Flashback

Ashley's POV

Arden's been staring at Coop who is a drunken mess on the floor. Arden walks over to her calmly but her eyes give her away, she looks on the verge of tears. Alex looks up at her and smiles before stumbling onto her feet, "Hey Ard."

"Don't fucking 'Hey Ard' me, Alexandra Cooper!" She slaps Al across the face.

"Ouch, Ard. That like…hurt." She looks at her, confused while she rubs her cheek.

"Good." She bites out. Alex is so out of it that I don't even think she's able to process what's going on.

"Arden…" I attempt to reason with her.

"Stay out of it, Ash!" She snaps. "Al, do you even know what just happened?"

"You slapped me." Alex replies.

Arden huffs frustrated, "Before that."

"Someone kissed me." Alex rubs her forehead. "It kind of hurt a lot." I bite back a laugh, I know I shouldn't but she's kind of adorable drunk.

"Who kissed you, Al?" Arden prods. "Me?"

Alex thinks hard for a second, "No…it was like my on screen kisses only hotter. On screen…Nikki. Nikki kissed me." She realizes and gasps.

"That's right, you kissed Nikki, Al. You know it, I know it. Everyone else in this fucking room knows it."

Arden yells out angrily. "We're done, Al! I've had it!"

"Had what?" Alex asks curiously. "Because obviously it wasn't that good if you're all mad." I cover up a snort of laughter with a cough.

"Alex. Listen. I'm breaking up with you."

Alex's face drops, "But I love you. You love me."

Arden's tears begin to fall, "People who love each other don't kiss other people Al! I can't do this!" Arden walks hastily away to her room.

Alex attempts to scramble after her, landing herself into a wall and falling over onto her side before getting back up and smacking her hand on Arden's door repeatedly while saying her name.

End of Flashback

And that was pretty much the night. Alex eventually passed out, Spencer and I, I guess made it to the bed but were too drunk to take off our shoes and clothes. Bridget and Wiley disappeared into the guest room while the other two couples remained out here.

"And this is why I don't normally drink. Shit happens." Alex groans out while rubbing her head.

"Well duh, Coop. What were you thinking?"

"Ha, that's funny Ash, because I fucking didn't see you trying to stop me."

"You're avoiding the question, Cooper."

"Leave her alone, Ash." Spencer attempts to silence me.

"Why?" I turn to look at her and she's pleading for me to drop it. "Oh that's just great. Spencer knows doesn't she? Are you two keeping things from me now?"

"Ash, calm down." Spencer attempts to placate me.

"No, I won't. Tell me what's going on. Now." Everyone by this time is focused on our dispute. Everyone including me, is wondering what's going on. "Because Al has been acting weird ever since she fired Madison and collapsed due to exhaustion. So help me god, if it's about work-"

"You'll what Ash? How the fuck-"

"Both of you stop!" Spencer yells and everyone groans respectively due to the loudness of her voice and their hang overs. "Bottom line of last night is that everyone saw what happened except for Arden. It wasn't Alex's fault, Nikki kissed her out of the blue. Ard has to understand that."

"I do." Arden's voice rasps out from the hallway as she rubs her face. "Coffee before we get into this please." She groans and I motion to the already brewed pot. "Thank god."

"Nah, just me." I smirk and Spencer rolls her eyes, pressing a good morning kiss to my cheek as Arden makes random pleasurable noises while drinking her coffee. "Ard, seriously, you and Coop need to do the horizontal mambo, like soon. You can't have sex with your coffee."

Arden shoots a glare at me, "Anyways, now that I've had my lovely drink, let's address the small topic of me breaking up with the goof over there."

Alex mimics the goofy laugh and flips her the bird, "Whatever miss jump to conclusions constantly."

"Yeah well, I wasn't completely drunk off my ass, last night was I?" She pointedly glares at Al.

"As much as I'd love to see where this is going. I need to finish packing." Kyla stands up and Lucy pouts, getting up as well. "Don't give me that face Lucy, we can spend more quality time later if we do it noww." Lucy's eyebrows shoot up.

"Uh, okay. Bye guys." She smirks and they give everyone hugs, Kyla shoots Alex a look that Al scoffs at. She's obviously Team Arden. Lucy rolls her eyes and ruffles Coop's hair. "Be good, Cooper. That's my future sister in law." Kyla's eyes light up and she gets this mushy look on her face at the hint of marriage.

Once they leave, Briley comes sauntering in, complete with disheveled clothes and messy hair. Wiley looks like she won the lottery several times and Bridget is cheery. They look at everyone else and realize that they've stumbled into a heated debate. "Well, let's see how Cooper gets out of this one, shall we?" Wiley smirks and Bridget hits her shoulder. "Okay, okay. We'll be supportive of the ex." She presses a kiss to Bridget's temple before taking the couch where Lucy and Kyla used to be seated.

"Glad you two could join us between sex marathons." Carmen quips and Brooke giggles into her neck.

"Oh no problem." Wiley smiles back, unfazed. She's something, that much is true.

Spencer and I take the love seat while Alex and Arden continue to send each other telepathic messages with their eyes. Spencer snuggles into my side and presses a kiss to my neck. I look at her and smile. God, I'm going to miss her so much. I kiss her lips softly and her smile widens. Her fingers grazing across my stomach soothingly under the hem of my shirt.

"So, I'd like to resolve this little issue today if that would be possible, I've got a show to host tonight." Wiley quips as Bridget snuggles into her.

"Well, I'm not mad at you for the kiss Al." Arden states walking towards her girlfriend and taking her hand lightly. "I'm mad because you drank yourself to incoherence and you're obviously keeping something from me. Something that, evidently, Spencer knows about. You can tell her and not me?"

I can feel Spencer shift uncomfortably next to me. I raise a brow at her and she smiles softly. "It's not my story to tell, Ash." She whispers softly to me.

"Al, this keeping things from me to protect me or find the right moment is getting old." Arden continues,

"Do you not trust me?"

"No!" Alex exclaims, "Of course I do. It's just a small habit I have to break." Alex rubs the back of her neck, "I'm usually not one for sharing."

"So the break the habit. Tell me." Arden pushes.

"Okay! Fine! My show's going under! Happy now?" Alex waves her arms around and Ard looks shocked.

"If we don't get more viewers from this new story line that I have to revamp because of me firing Madison, we're done. Lose our network slot. Cancelled. Permanent Hiatus."

A knock on the door sounds and Arden sighs, rubbing her face and walks to the door. She opens the door, "You've got a lot of fucking nerve, Rivers." Arden growls out. Shit, Nikki's back.
