Bette: “I’m not very good with shots”

Tina smiled: “what can’t handle them?”

Bette: “ not so much that, I sort of have a tendency to erm how to say……”

Alice: “ you become brash and un Bette like”

Bette shot Alice a glance, Alice shrugged: “well you do”

Bette: “ I wanted to put it another way”

Alice: “what that you lose all self respect, and become a normal prat like the rest of us”

Bette smiled: “I was going to use those words exactly”

Tina: “well, lets get started then…..”

Fred and Loo along with Shane were seasoned shot drinkers, so had no trouble with the constant rounds that came their way.

Tina, Alice and Bette had three lined up as the next round came their way.

Bette slurred slightly: “are we moving on? Or is everyone happy here?”

Alice hiccupped: “well I’m happy here, but I don’t mind”

Shane: “I’m fine” she downed the next shot.

Fred and Loo nodded as their shots disappeared also.

Tina: “I don’t know how you can drink like that?”

Fred smiled: “it’s all to do with practise”

Loo: “yeah so come on you 3 catch up, you’ll feel better for it” she laughed as Alice tried to look straight at her.

Tina looked at Bette and Alice: “ after 3?”

Bette took a deep breath: “3”

Bette, Alice and Tina knocked back the 3 shots.

The night wore on, the drinks continued to flow. Bette got more and more loud, she pulled Tina up to dance. And the others sat and watched as the 2 ladies made their way to the dance floor.

Alice: “they’re going to end up on the floor”

Loo: “never seen Tina this happy before it’s good to see”

Shane looked at Loo: “so you met in Uni then?”

Fred and Loo told Shane, Alice and Kit all about their Uni days.

On the dance floor……….

Bette pulled Tina to the middle of the dance floor, even though the do was spinning some dance tunes, the 2 ladies fell into a slow embrace.

Bette slurred into Tina’s ear: “I think I’m a little drunk”

Tina: “ yeah me too”

Bette: “you smell so good”

Tina smiled into Bette’s hair.

Bette: “Tina?”

Tina: “mmmm”
