"Here's another song you might like, Maddie," Dana said as she got ready to taker he next shot, the music changing once more. One of things about her studies was the ability to apply the manner in which you learned something to different things; it was something Dana took to heart and applied to most everything. Pool was no different. Lining up her shot, Dana took it and dropped that and the next one; then she lined up the third one and took her shot, thinking it would also go in...instead, to her shock, it caromed off the side and hit the eight-ball, sending it into the corner pocket. Match, over. "Bloody hell," Dana whispered, looking over at Madison. "Guess you won that round; rack 'em up again," she said, ready to try again... "Hot on the run from the grip of the power game The man who leads the way, The man who leads the way Shell in it's box from his home that they'll never tame The man who leads the way, The man who leads the way...." - "Fire in the Twilight," Wang Chung

Madison gathered the balls from the back of the table setting up the same game mode as before. "Dana, you're a fast learner you know. Same again; spots and stripes" she replied figuring she'd lost that game for sure with the foul on the 8 ball coming very unexpectantly. The pool room mix was quite good tonight and it changed again as she finished setting up. Blue Monday was playing; the original version by New Order. So this was like their own little party as she bobbed her head prior to the next break off. But first some of her beer. She had good music, pool and great company. She couldn't help a little dance as the song played on and gave Dana a little friends type of kiss. "So how are you finding tonight so far?" Dana Winchester

"So how are you finding tonight so far?""Better than I'd've hoped for," Dana replied. It wasn't hyperbole either; for the first time in forever, she felt at east with herself, her position in life. It should've freaked her out, as taciturn as she was most days. It wasn't. Seeing a couple of the girls that'd been dancing with her earlier at the pool room, Dana waved them over as she took her shot, coming close to knocking at least one ball down. "Looks like we got a crowd, Maddie," she said, drinking her beer and enjoying the night. Madison Quinzell

So now they had an audience and an impromptu little party in the pool room. They were now four of them and Madison smiled back at both girls. They also had their drinks and Dana was clearly happy. A group becoming larger wasn't unusual here. It turned out that the new arrivals also went to the university and since Madison had also been there until recently that made it a uni night. Elizabeth was the small raven haired girl and Samantha was the taller blonde. So the game became a doubles match. There was laughter, more drinks and chilling out as the racks kept being played. Dana was getting particular interest but this didn't bother Madison. It was probally her height and her accent that was the reason. Dana Winchester

Time seemed to speed up the more relaxed Dana got; being the center of attention should've frightened her but like a lot of things that night, it didn't. She was truly opening up for the first time in her life and it felt good. And to think, she mused, snaking an arm around one of the others who had joined her and Madison earlier (Elizabeth, the raven brunette to be specific), I was going to spend the night binge-watching television, again. "So that's four racks to three, Madison?" she asked, trying to remember how many they'd played thus far. "or is it three racks to four?" Madison Quinzell

"It's 4-3 for team Dana & Elizabeth" Madison replied. Not that the overall result mattered to her as she was just having fun tonight with Samantha's company. She also noted that Dana and Elizabeth were getting on quite well which was a good thing. Then Madison broke off again and she sunk a spot. They'd continue this party for a while yet as the drinks continued to flow. Dana Winchester

Watching Madison sink the spot, Dana sized up the table and waited until she missed, thinking I'm having a good time; who cares what the score is?Madison Quinzell

Next up was Dana and the game continued in this manner. Neither pair were getting too far away with the score and then they stopped to do a bar run. Samantha suggested a jug of a cocktail and Madison agreed. It was the kind of drink that could catch you out but the jug would keep them going for a long while. "Surprise me" she said.

As the music changed once more Dana whistled at the change in music and began reeling off a couple shots in a row. Bam. Bam. Bam. Bam. The fifth shot missed just a hair off and Dana quietly swore her frustration at the missed shot. It was the perfectionist streak in her showing; she didn't mind, though. For her time playing pool, she'd take what she learned and build on it. "Your shot, Maddie," she said, stepping back from the table to watch Madison come up and shoot. Madison Quinzell

By now Madison was getting rid of the rust from her pool game but still wasn't as good as Dana was getting. So three shots later she was handing the cue back to Dana having played herself out of position and having to play safe. It was then that Elizabeth and Samantha came back with a jug of cocktail and four glasses; they also looked very pleased with themselves. Madison wondered what was on their minds. Then looked at the jug of cosmopolitans; multiples in fact as there was enough there to keep them going until closing time. "I think we're about to have an episode of sex in the city" she posed back to Dana between shots. They still had three hours before closing time having spent quite a while here already. Then the fun could continue afterwards at another venue. Dana Winchester

Madison considered Dana's question before she took her shot. That was what it felt like and Dana had picked up on it too. Either way Madison would have to be the sensible one and get two certainly drunk girls back to a safe place; three if Dana got drunk on the cocktails. Her apartment wasn't in the gated community so she could be a short term host but things might get a bit cramped if bedding arrangments had to be made. So be it but it didn't matter if two girls shared a bed or not. "I don't know what your place is like but I know the university. They'd have a hard time getting back in late in the morning. It'll have to be mine as I know how to deal with two drunk girls. It's always been my job to be the sensible one" she quietly said. "It'll be a bit cramped but we can cope". Even if one of said drunk girls took a really special interest in Dana what she'd said would still apply. Then she took her difficult long shot on and missed. The problem being she'd left the table wide open for Dana. Dana Winchester

"And you're right about uni. I live on-campus in apartment-style housing but after 11pm or thereabouts you have to use I.D. to get in; not the easiest to do if you're half off your gourd. "What's the legal age for alcohol on the Island again?" she asked; since Ashford Island wasn't U.S. territory it wasn't 21. Back in the U.K. it'd be 18 but like a lot of things, Britain was an outlier on the Continent. Now that I think about it, I am starting to get a little tipsy, she thought, holding Elizabeth close to her after missing the next shot. Madison Quinzell

Now that was a question and a half. Madison wasn't quite sure but she'd never known a student being refused service at a bar. she also knew the isle wasn't US territory so she assumed it was 18. Laws were a little vague here but there was basic ideas still in play of what was right and and wrong that also applied in the rest of the world. "I'd assume 18 as I've seen all students get served alcohol" she mused as she potted the black to win that scrappy frame. "It would be 21 back in New York although" she added. She also observed that Elizabeth was very close to Dana by now; quite possibly mutual too as Dana was doing the holding in. So she'd put them together when it came to to sorting out rooming arrangements. Addressing all the ladies present she had an idea. "How about we head back to the nightclub proper and finish of these cosmo's?" It would be a good way of finishing the night off before they headed to her place. Dana Winchester

"How about we head back to the nightclub proper and finish of these cosmo's?""Sounds good," Dana replied, all-in-all feeling better - if not slightly tipsy - that she had in quite a long time. Madison Quinzell
