After the previous night all Cameron could remember was a blur
I woke up sitting on my couch with a half empty bottle of vodka in my hand. I looked around to see Judy asleep at the kitchen table and Nick cooking breakfast.
I get up and walk over to the kitchen.
"Do you remember what happened last night?" I ask putting the bottle of vodka in the freezer.
"Yes. Unlike you, I only had a bottle and a half if vodka." Nick replies.
"How muck did I have?"
"About 3 gallons."
"Metric please. My brain is dead."
"How much is in each bottle?"
"1 Liter each."
"Than you had 12 Liters."
"That probably killed my liver."
"Yep. Want some of this? My mom made it for me whenever I came home after a party."
"What is it?"
"Eggs, salmon, and other assorted meats with herbs and spices."
I take some and eat it.
"That is probably the best breakfast I have had in a few years. Can I have the recipe or is it a family secret?"
"Family secret."
"Fair enough."
"Ugghhh..." Judy moans as she wakes up. "I feel like I'm about to puke."
"Suck on this." I say giving her a candy from my cupboard.
"Wow that really helps. What is it?"
"It's a peppermint"
"Really?"
"Yea, The taste of mint helps to subdue the felling of nausea."
"Anyway. How much did I have to drink?"
"From what I remember. 1 bottle." Nick says
"This is the worst I have felt in a long time."
"You think you feel bad?" I say "I had 12 bottles and I woke up with one half empty in my hand."
"Do we have work today?" Judy asks
"No. It is our day off." Nick says
"What happened to everyone else?" I ask
"Bogo had Clawhouser drive him home, Finnick walked home and Wolford is asleep over there." Nick says as he points over to the stairs where Wolford is leaning against a wall fast asleep.
"Clawhouser drove?"
"He only had half a beer. Even had me Breathalyzer him."
"Oh." I begin as I walk over to Wolford and gently slap him in the face "Hey, Wolford, wake up."
"Five more minutes mom..." He complains.
"I'm not your mother." I say
"Oh, sorry Cameron. How much did I have to drink?" He asks
"4 bottles." Nick supplies
"Thank you." He says as he sits down at the kitchen table.
"Eat some. You will feel better." Nick says as he puts a plate of food in front of Wolford
"Can I have any?" Judy says.
"Here's some I made without meat or fish." Nick says as he puts a plate in front of Judy.
As they eat their eyes light up. "Don't bother asking. He told me it's a family secret." I say
"Okay that is good." Wolford says
"You guys enjoy. I'm going to go wash the smell of vodka off me."
"Is there a second shower in the apartment?" Judy asks
"Second floor, last door on the right." I say as I walk up the stairs
I went back to the master bathroom and jumped in the shower.
"I have never used the Jets before" I think to myself as I looked at the wall of jets.
The shower was a rainfall shower that had jets on every side exempt for the door.
I turned the Jets to high power and flipped them on instantly regretting my decision as the pressure was too much.
I quickly turned them to medum power before slowly turning them up to a comfortable level.
(With Sponge Bob style narrator) Twenty six and a half minutes later...
I got changed into jeans and a T-shirt before I went downstairs to find Wolford watching the news in the living room.
"Where are the others?" I ask
"In the shower." He replies
I quickly process what he said before I shrug and sit down on a recliner.

"Looks like Nick and Judy can get married sooner then expected." Wolford says
"Yea that's great!" I say as I count the movie and TV references in those headlines.
"What is great?" Judy asks as she and Nick come down the stairs
"Times pulled from the election. Moon wins by default." I say
"That's not great... That's excellent!" Judy cheers as she jumps up and kisses Nick.
"When do you think you will get engaged and married?" Wolford asks
"I'm going to buy the rock to make it official and plan our wedding after Moon makes it legal." Nick says
"Good idea. I expect an invitation to it." I say
"If it wasn't for you, we may not be having one." Judy says
All of a sudden Nick's phone rings.
"Hello? Oh hey Stripes. Yea Cameron just told us! Hey where are you? I'm thinking of celebrating later. Your at Bogo's? Yea it was late and even I wouldn't drive home. Yea even I don't believe that he isn't married. Well seya later." Nick finishes as he puts his phone away.
"Bogo's not married?" I ask
"No! I would expect that he would be married for a decade by now."
"Clawhouser stayed the night at his place?"
"Yea. They live on the opposite side of town of each other and he was too tired to drive home so Bogo let him sleep on the couch."
"Well you said something about celebrating?" I say
"Yes! But no alcohol!"
"I can accept that!"
