Author's pov:

Hours of searching turned to a day, days turned to a week, weeks turned to a month and months turned to a year. Even a few years later no-one got any signs of Sergeant Scabbard. That made General Carbine's nerves very tight but that actually couldn't be compared to Commander Throttle's anger. He felt like he had completely failed to protect his loved one, the female he cared most in his life. Even if he and his bros, and even the whole military had tried their best, it felt like nothing.

Complete failure, worst garbage, a traitor.. Those words the tan furred male mouse thought most about himself during the years of searching. He barely could even look Carbine into her beautiful ginger colored eyes that sometimes reminded him about fiercely flaming fire when he lost himself in her eyes.

Throttle was swinging his tail while walking nervously around the room. Their group was gathering together at the Stoker's house where Carbine was still living since no-one had caught her abuser. She had to always have someone by her side and normally it was Throttle or her uncle Stoker, if he happened to have any free time. After he had handled the contact from Plutark, the government and the military had seen him being very valuable for the whole planet. He had got more responsibilities and more work, which made him happy even if it meant less time to spend with his family.

"Throttle would you please sit down? You are making me nervous.." Carbine sighed and tapped a spot on a couch next to her where she was sitting. "Yea bro.. Your head will explode like a Martian mouse grenade if you continue thinking too much of it.." Vinnie said when he walked into the room while carrying some bottles of root beer in his hands. After that Harley walked into the living room too after she had placed food in the fridge. She and Vinnie had just gone to the store before arriving at the house.

"Yea Throttle.. We came here to spend some time together as a group and help Carbine to relax! Not to make her feel worse.." Harley said while she placed more bottles on the living room table. She took one of them and opened it before handling it to Throttle. "This will calm you down at least" She said making the male stop wandering around. "Thanks Harley" He said and then walked to the couch where Carbine was sitting.

"Sorry babe.. I.. I'm just.." He was about to say while sitting next to her but then felt a smooch on his cheek which made him a bit tense before smiling at her. "I understand you.. Don't worry.." Carbine said while wrapping her arms around his neck while changing her position better to be closer to the male. "How couldn't I? That piece of crap is still missing and.." Throttle said while taking a sip from the bottle.

"Well thank you for reminding me!" Carbine growled and lifted a bottle of root beer with her tail to hand it to her hands. Harley just glared and sighed to the tan furred male who sighed deeply too. "I am a horrible boyfriend, right?" Throttle said and looked at her while she opened the bottle before taking a long sip from it without saying anything.

"So you two are--.." Vinnie was about to say while sitting to the other side from Throttle. Harley sat next to the white furred male making him lift his left arm on her shoulders. "At least you admit it.." Carbine said after a long moment of silence. "Admit what?" Throttle said and looked at the female who clearly looked like she was displeased.

"That you are an idiot sometimes.." Harley rolled her eyes and took a couple of bottles to open too. After that she handed one to Vinnie. "By the way, where are Modo and Jessica?" Harley asked making Vinnie lift his head from leaning against her head. "Yea.. They should have been here already.." He said making Harley chuckle. "And I thought we would be late since someone took their time at the store!" She laughed making Carbine chuckle too.

"You mean Mister Beer Expert took his time to choose only the best beers for this evening? ...Again!" Carbine laughed making Harley nod and laugh even more. "Hey!! That's the most important task to do for evenings like these! Not everyday we have day offs since we have so many new techniques and stuff to practice!" Vinnie tried to defend himself but females didn't buy it. They just continued laughing, but the sound from knocking the door made them stop.

"I'll get it!" Carbine said while getting up from the couch but then felt Throttle's hand on her tight making her stop. "I'll go, just in case" He said while looking at the female. "No! You sit right there on your arse, is that clear commander?" Carbine said and then got up. Throttle sighed and then repeated his words again. "What did I admit, Beautiful?" He said and took a better position on the couch, meaning that he sat on Carbine's place with a plan. Vinnie knew what he was up to, which made him smirk while drinking some beer from his bottle.

"Modo! Jessica! Welcome!" Carbine smiled and hugged their friends after opening the door and letting them inside the house. "What took you so long, Big Bro?" Vinnie asked when three of them walked to the living room. "Nice new hairstyle of yours, Jessica" Carbine said while looking at Jessica who had her long platinum white hair braided beautifully, while normally she had them open or just tied together if she was at work.

"T-Thank you, Carbine. That actually took some time to do.. So my apologies we are late.." Jessica said while smiling awkwardly. "No worries! We just opened the first bottles while waiting, Vinnie and Harley just got there too with the food and everything" Carbine explained but then Harley continued. "Which means Vinnie will cause some trouble on Mars by drinking every single beer bottle they make!" She said making everyone laugh. "Do you think our group drinks too much that the planet can produce?" Modo asked while they walked closer to the others.

"Not our group, just Vinnie!" Carbine laughed making everyone agree while laughing. "Not my fault that I have a marvelous sense of taste!" Vinnie smirked proudly making the general roll her eyes while smiling. At least the root beer they drank most, was non alcoholic since they drove their bikes so much. After that she saw the tan furred male had stolen her seat which made her cross her arms while looking at him.

"Throttle.. Move.." She growled making him smirk and shook his head. "No chance General.. This is your only seat now, Beauty" He smirked and tapped his lap with his hand. Carbine sighed while rolling her eyes. "That braid does look very nice, Jessica! I didn't know you could do things like those?" Harley said while Jessica and Modo sat on another couch that was a bit smaller, close to the bigger one. Modo opened a couple of bottles and handed another to Jessica who thanked and smiled at him.

"Thanks, Harley! I.. I have practiced for some time, but this is the first time I managed to do it fine.. That's why it took longer than expected.." She explained while taking a sip from the bottle. "I have wine too if you prefer that, Jess" Carbine said after she had sat on Throttle's lap and wrapped her hands around his neck again which had made the male smile even wider.

"This is fine. I have also tried to get used to the beer side anyway.." Jessica said making Carbine raise her other eyebrow a bit but then Vinnie spoke. "Now I'm curious too.. What Throttle admitted.. Explain yourself Carbine" He said while placing the first empty bottle on the table. "Hey! I just started.. Vinnie, where are your manners?" Modo looked at the white furred male who burped loudly, deserving a punch to his side from Harley's elbow, following glare from the female.

"I thought we were having free time.. But the atmosphere feels now tighter than in the military!" Vinnie grunted and took the next bottle. Luckily they had bought almost the whole root beer stock from the store. "And we do! So I don't mind that.. Only if this house is still clean before Stoker comes back.." Carbine laughed and took another sip too.

"When will he come back?" Harley asked, making Vinnie twitch his nose. Throttle could see him being clearly jealous. Even if Vinnie was very confident, he didn't like Stoker being around Harley at all, and specially the Silver star General wasn't his favorite topic to even talk about. "I actually don't know.. Since he had got more work, I barely meet him nowadays.." Carbine said making Throttle wrap his tail around her waist. "But that's fine by me.. I have more time to be with you" He said and then kissed her cheek making her blush.

"I can believe that!" Vinnie chuckled making Harley growl. "At least someone here even tries to be romantic!" She growled making Vinnie raise his other eyebrow. "Did I say something wrong?" He said making the female only cross her arms and turn her head away from him while others laughed. "Meanwhile someone just tries.." Carbine said while lifting her right hand on Throttle's head to pet his hair. "And by that admitting.. I meant that at least you admit being my boyfriend" Carbine said while turning her head away to not show her blushing so badly.

"So we actually..?!" Throttle gasped and turned to look at the female. "If you want to.." Carbine smiled making the male smile so brightly and hug her tightly. "I'd love to!!" He snuggled against her and didn't let her go. "Freaking finally!" Vinnie said before congratulating them with the others. "Now it's no longer complicated, I'm happy for you!" Modo said and then lifted his bottle to air. "To our official couple!" He said making the others turn to look at him and follow his lead.

All of them lifted their bottles to air to have a toast. After that they drank a bit before Carbine placed her bottle on the table with her tail and sat better on the male's lap. "I couldn't be happier.." Throttle sighed while placing his head on hers while she leaned against his chest. "I actually could but I don't want to ruin the moment for now.." She said and wrapped her arms around his body, making sure they went inside his leather vest.

Throttle purred lightly and petted her head before saying. "You know we all chase him until we find him.." He said and Modo nodded. "Biker Mice doesn't even know the word 'surrender'.." He said making the males be even more confident. "Speaking of which.. Why doesn't he surrender? He knows that he is being hunted.." Harley sighed while placing her bottle on the table too. "Have you heard anything, Jessica?" Throttle asked while looking at the female. At that point he noticed that she looked a bit different than normal, not just by the hair.

"No I have not.. He hasn't come home, I mean when I have been there.. I don't know if he went there when the house was empty.." She said and sighed. "How about your other sister? Has she seen him?" Harley asked, Throttle could easily see that question making Jessica uncomfortable. "Our sister? Huh.. I.. I don't want to talk about that.." She said and took a sip from her beer while looking at the floor, clearly avoiding eye contact with anyone.

"Don't want to? But we need to know everything that would lead us closer to get that scumbag caught!" Vinnie said but then heard Modo growling. "What third rated hearing this is?! Leave her alone.. She tells everything that's needed. So stop that!" Modo said making Vinnie sigh deeply, following Throttle's sigh. "Sorry Jess.." Throttle said at first. "Yea.. Sorry.." Vinnie said but then Carbine lifted her head from leaning at Throttle's chest.

"Shouldn't we watch a movie or something before the whole atmosphere falls down like a meteor?" She suggested making Harley smile at her. "That would be great!" She said but the males sighed again. "Not those boring romantic movies females use to like!" Vinnie whined but gained just another punch from Harley's elbow. "What's wrong with romantic movies?" She glared at the white furred male making him lift his hands up in the air.

"Nothing!! I just prefer some action!" He said making the other two males agree. "And you think that females don't like action, huh?" Carbine said while looking at Throttle who gulped. "I'll skip the answer to not to make things worse!" He said fast making the female just laugh. "You choose wisely!" She said and then patted his head making him smile at her.

"What about some game then if we can't choose a movie each of us would like?" Jessica suggested, getting all of their attention, especially the males'. "Do you have something in your mind?" Harley asked before any male could say anything inappropriate. "A Drinking game?!" Carbine said with an excited tone in her voice making the others turn to look at her confused.

"What? Haven't you ever played those?" She said after seeing her friends' expressions. "No.. At least I haven't" Modo said but Vinnie continued. "I see the higher rank has higher ways to relax" He said making Carbine chuckle. "He he he he.. You are so funny, Vincent!" She said sarcastically before continuing. "I have one game in my mind, but what was your idea, Jess?" She asked and turned to look at the chestnut furred female.

"Nothing special, but I'd like to hear yours!" Jessica said and then fixed her position a bit. "Okay.. But I still wonder how come the most badass male mouse trio has never played even one drinking game?" Carbine said while smirking. "Just tell your idea before someone changes their mind!" Throttle chuckled and gently petted her cheek making her purr against it.

"It's called 'Never have I ever'.." She started making Harley jump a bit. "I know this one!! Good choice Carbine!!" She laughed making Vinnie raise his other eyebrow. "How come you know that? What is that game up to?" He asked while turning his head from Harley to Carbine. "Players take turns to ask questions from each other. Like.. Expressions they never have done. And if someone has done it, they took a sip from the drink" Carbine explained before Harley could answer.

"Now I'm curious too to hear where you both played that game?" Throttle said and looked at females. "Like Vinnie said.. Higher rank has higher ways to relax, or how was your words?" Carbine smirked and then got up from Throttle's lap. "And where do you think you are going?" He asked but didn't free her from his tail. "To prepare for our game! Let me go.." Carbine growled making him get up too.

"Let me help you.. Otherwise my lap gets cold.." He said making her roll her eyes and laugh. "Fine.. I'd need an extra pair of hands anyway!" She said and walked to the kitchen, the male following right after her, the tail still wrapped around her waist.

"I played the game once while I was still studying to be a nurse.." Harley explained while starting to blush. "So your class had a tougher sense of having fun?" Jessica smirked. "Our class! Remember we were in the same class back then?" Harley said, while Carbine froze at her place in the kitchen. "What do we need from here--?" Throttle asked making her hiss to him. She placed her index finger on her mouth to make the male silent. She was squatting to get some stuff from the lower cabinet, but got up to walk a bit closer to the doorway, Throttle still following her.

"Yea! Of course I remember that! It was at that first party at autumn?" Jessica said at the living room. "What is it?" Throttle whispered making Carbine shook her head. "Let me go.." She tapped his tail making him just shook his head. "No way, my girl.." Throttle said huskily while walking closer to her making her blush. "What do you think you are doing, commander?" Carbine giggled and took steps backward, but then felt his grip tighter against her waist before he pulled her against his body.

He walked them to the counter where he lifted Carbine to sit on before he placed his lips against the female's. She blushed before kissing him back. He lifted his hands on her waist, above his tail, to pull her closer to him, but then they heard coughing coming from the doorway.

"Shouldn't we leave the titles outside this evening, huh?" Vinnie said while leaning against the doorway. He was grinning widely while swinging his tail. "Vinnie!" Carbine gasped and blushed even more. She had just opened her legs to have the tan furred male closer to her body while she was about to wrap her own tail around his waist.

"You clearly don't know how to be romantic.." Throttle sighed and took a step backward, then he unwrapped his tail and helped Carbine down from the counter. "Sorry to interrupt, but we had a game to start.. But I see you guys already have one in here.." Vinnie chuckled and then walked back to the living room, leaving Throttle and Carbine looking at each other before laughing.

"So what do we need from here?" Throttle asked again but before the female answered him, he already got six whiskey glasses in his hands. "These!" Carbine said while having a bottle of whiskey in her hands. "What for?" Throttle asked but felt stupid after hearing the answer. "For the game, you silly" Carbine chuckled and then headed back to the living room.

"Now we are talking! But most of us came with bikes?" Harley said after Vinnie had sat back next to her. "You can sleep your heads clear here. I'll explain that to Stoker after buying some new bottles for him.." Carbine said while standing next to the couch. "Bottle..s?" Throttle said what the others were thinking. "And why are you still standing there?" He added making her pat his cheek.

"I was waiting for my already heated seat. So sit down, Handsome" She winked at him making him blush clearly. Others laughed at that before Carbine answered the other question. "This is the first one, let's see how much of this little ones can handle!" Carbine said while opening the bottle. "Little ones? How dare you!" Vinnie said but then the smell of whiskey reached his nose likewise the others.

"That's strong stuff, Carbine!" Modo said while having shivers going through his large body. "Good stuff, maybe the best if I may say.." Carbine said and then poured some to the glasses that Throttle had placed on the table before sitting back on the couch. After that the female sat back on his lap making him smile and purr against her arm which just made her smile at him.

"This is one of the toughest whiskeys on Mars, Carbine!" Jessica gasped while looking at the bottle. "We aren't teenagers, so let's start the game and see who falls first" Harley cheered and then added. "And that party was during the winter, Jessica" She said making Carbine turn to look at the chestnut furred female again suspiciously.

"Yes that is true Jessica, but let's start already" She said and then turned Vinnie's empty bottle to its side on the table. "What are you doing?" Modo asked making her chuckle and shook her head. "Seems like the females need to teach the males to play, huh" She said and swung her tail. "Someone is getting excited.." Throttle laughed but then Harley spoke. "We'll see from that bottle who starts this game!" She explained making the males finally get it. Right after that Carbine spun the bottle.

The Bottle spun and spun around in a circle. For the males it felt like forever since neither of them liked any kind of waiting at all. Everyone of them looked at the bottle while it was spinning around before it finally started to slow down. When it finally stopped, Carbine shouted the name. "Vinnie!" She said while Throttle was smirking. "Oh this has to be a good one, bro.." He said while Vinnie started to think about his sentence. "It has to be something good to start this game.." He thought in his mind while lifting his hand on his jaw.

(Author's note: Like in the picture below ~ )

Then he started smirking and turned to look at the others. "Let's start with an easy one.." He said while leaning forward. He was swinging his tail when he finally said his sentence. "Never have I ever run away from a fight!" He said and looked at the others. "And now if someone has done that, take a sip" Carbine said but didn't drink, and neither did Vinnie or Jessica either. To the others' surprise, the rest of them drank.

"What?! How come my bros has turned their back for fight?!" Vinnie gasped after seeing Modo and Throttle taking a sip from the whiskey. It was so strong that it was quite hard to drink. "You choose quite heavy stuff for this, Babe.." Throttle said after shivers had got through him. Carbine smiled and petted his hair.

"Are you okay?" She asked making him nod. "You think this makes me fall? No way!" Throttle chuckled. Then they heard Harley and Modo coughing after drinking. "Few more questions and I'll be done.." Harley laughed after placing her glass on the table. "Now some explanations!" Vinnie demanded making the fearless leader sigh deeply.

"I only tell you that.. I was a kid, not even started school yet.. I had a rough time surviving.. But that's the only time I have turned my back.. Not going to do that anymore" He said and then Carbine gently kissed his forehead. Even if Vinnie and Modo knew his past, he hadn't actually told them every single detail of it. Some of them were too painful, but he had mentioned some of them only to Carbine. While he had a promise with his bros that nothing stays as a secret between them, since Vinnie had joined their group and they had got to know each other. They had become like brothers just like Throttle had wished for. They also promised that some things from their traumatic childhoods would still stay as a secret. Maybe someday they would talk those things through, more privately.

"I have similar kinds of memories.." Harley said but before anyone could say anything, she continued. "What if we keep the most painful things out of this? Ain't this supposed to be fun?" She said making the others agree. "If someone wants to explain, then it's alright, but no forcing" Modo said and then the game continued in a better way.

Many turns and very funny sentences later, it was Jessica's turn again. "Never have I ever crashed a wedding" She said after thinking a bit. No-one drank but definitely looked at each other, specially Modo and Throttle turned to look at Vinnie demandingly. "Oh c'mon! It was just one time!!" He sighed while the males started to laugh already. "With force or not, I want to hear this story!" Carbine laughed while the white furred male took his how-many-sip from the whiskey. They had lost the counts of it. The Alcohol was kicking even if they were used to it pretty well.

"I never tell you anything bros.." Vinnie growled and then took a better position. "You really crashed someone's wedding?" Harley looked at him and was already a bit tipsy. "It was.. When I was still at the training.. I had a crush on one girl.." Vinnie started to explain. "Just one at a time, huh?" Throttle laughed but got a pinch to his ear from Carbine, following a glare.

"Yea.. I really wanted to be by her side back then.. And we had a thing.. But then I heard she was going to a wedding.. I thought it was hers.. But oh my.." Vinnie explained and started to laugh in shame while leaning against his hands. "It was actually her cousin's wedding and she had asked me to come there with her.. But I just crashed in the middle of the ceremony to prevent the couple from getting married.." Vinnie said while the females started to laugh. "And as usual, your entrance was as snazzy as always!" Throttle continued while laughing.

"Yeah.." Vinnie said while he wanted the ground to swallow him. "I guess your thing with that girl ended there?" Jessica asked making him nod. "Not surprising.. Really" Carbine said while still laughing. "Poor Vinnie.. Harley should write those invitations down if she wants to bring you to her family wedding" Throttle chuckled but then got another pinch. "What?!" He asked but then noticed Harley's expression.

"I know you meant that to be funny Throttle.. But I actually.. I do not have a family.. So that's not possible, unless the wedding is mine.." Harley explained making the tan furred male let his ears down. "I'm.. I'm sorry.. I didn't know that, Harley" He said, gaining a small smile from the light brown female. "Most of us don't have one nowadays, so I guess we are each other's family" Carbine said and then pointed Vinnie to spin the bottle.

"Yeah.. That civil war was so bad.. And for a stupid reason.." Vinnie sighed and spun the bottle which stopped at Harley this time after a couple of rounds of spinning. "Let's not talk about that! Never have I ever.. Umm.. cheated on my partner" Harley said but no-one drank. "Good sentence for a loyal species" Throttle thought out loud. "Well that just proves all of us that we are trustworthy!" Carbine said and then spun the bottle with her tail.

"Modo.. Now big bro, some juicy sentences!" Vinnie smirked after that bottle stopped to the gray furred big guy. "Hmm.. What should I.." Modo started but then got something in his mind. "Never have I ever been engaged" He said but to his surprise, only Jessica drank and took a long sip. "Jessica? How come? You never told me that.." Harley asked and was surprised too.

"Arranged marriage.." Jessica bit her lip and sighed. "But.. you are divorced, aren't you?" Carbine asked and looked at her suspiciously which Throttle noticed. "Never been in marriage.. That's a long story" She said making the general nod and leave the topic since they had promised that to be possible in the game.

"I'd like to hear that later if you are okay with that?" Modo asked and gently petted her shoulder. That made the shoulder strap of her shirt fall a bit, exposing a tattoo on her shoulder. "You have a tattoo?" Vinnie asked after noticing it. "Uh.. Yea.." She said and hurried to fix the shirt to cover the tattoo.

"But I thought you were against those?" Harley asked, making Carbine twitch her nose. "Everything okay, Carbine?" Throttle whispered into her ear so no-one else could hear. The others were actually so focused on Jessica's tattoo that they didn't even notice him whispering to her. "No.." Carbine formed with her mouth to him but then focused back on the topic too, leaving Throttle with a very confused expression on his face.

"It's a new one.. Still healing.. Not a big thing, seriously" Jessica said and sat back to Modo after fixing her shirt. "It looks older to me.." Vinnie said but got a growl from Modo. "Not this third rated hearing again!" Modo defended her and lifted his hand on her back as a sign of it. "Okay okay! Sorry.." Vinnie lifted his hands up in the air. "Throttle has one too and they are normal things to have, so it's not so big a deal.. Is it?" Modo said making the others agree with him. While Carbine was still very suspicious about her, they continued the game and drinking which took their time to over midnight.

It was already a small hour when they finally ended the game. "Could you please help me to get Throttle upstairs? He is already asleep but his body ain't the lightest.." Carbine yawned to Modo who had just helped Jessica to go to sleep in the guest room's bed that was at the main floor, next the kitchen.

"Of course.. Vinnie, leave the bottle alone.. It's already empty!" Modo said and took the empty whiskey bottle from a very drunk Vinnie who had just got up from the couch but fell straight back to it. "Or should we help him first?" Carbine said and then yawned again. "Harley are you okay to watch him for a sec?" Modo asked the female who was preparing a bed from the smaller couch which could be used as a bed too if a few changes were made to it.

"I think I can manage to do that.. He'll fall in any second anyway" Harley said while almost collapsing on the floor. "Are you sure? You aren't so sober either.." Carbine said while lifting Throttle's arm on her shoulders while Modo took the other. "I'm fineeeee! Don't worry, gen!" Harley giggled while dropping the pillow on the floor. It was quite an unsuccessful thing to put the pillowcase on it, at least it looked like it.

"Let me help you honey.." Vinnie smirked and crawled to her since he noticed he couldn't stay on his two feet anymore. "My apologies for not having a camera for this.." Carbine giggled while she misplaced her other feet at the stairs. "You said it, Carbine!" Modo laughed at her after being sure she was okay and they didn't drop the sleeping beauty. "Oh shut it.." Carbine giggled and they finally reached the top of the stairs.

"Are you sure you are fine with the bigger couch? I'm sure Stoker would be okay if you take his bed" Carbine asked after they had lifted Throttle on her bed. "Nah.. It's okay! Few hours of sleep on it would not kill me. And I'm sure that Vinnie sleeps quietly too, since he drank that much.." Modo said after lifting Throttle's legs on the bed too. The Tan furred male just groaned and turned to his side while being deeply asleep.

"Are you sure he is a Martian Mouse? Seemed like a sponge to me.." Carbine laughed making the big fellow chuckle too. "Quite sure even if he has sponge-like features" Modo said and then walked to the door. "Should I come to help you with the blankets? Harley was already troubled with the pillow" Carbine said while trying to catch Throttle's tail to put it under the blanket after putting it on him.

"I think we will be fine. I'll help you with the laundry when we all are sober again" Modo smiled making Carbine smile and nod to him. "Okay.. Thank you Modo, for helping me to put the game down before Vinnie and Throttle started to wrestle and break the house" She said while thinking about what had just happened. "No problem.. It seems like three bottles of that whiskey is enough for our group" Modo said making the female gasp.

"Three?! We drank that much?!" Carbine said while falling to sit on the edge of the bed. "Plus almost all of the root beers Vinnie and Harley bought for the evening. Luckily we ate the food too, not just the drinks.. Even if the mix of whiskey and root beer was actually quite good.. Huh, Carbine are you okay? Carbine?" Modo said but when he turned to look at the female, he noticed that she had fallen asleep. "Or she was too shocked to react. Probably asleep" He thought while lifting Carbine's legs on the bed and then he left from her bedroom, closing the door behind him.

While Throttle rolled over to wrap his arms around Carbine who snuggled against him, both of them were sleeping peacefully, but definitely going to have their heads in pain tomorrow, Modo walked down the stairs. He heard some whispering in the dark when he arrived in the living room again.

"I thought you two would be sleeping too already.." He said after finding Harley sitting on Vinnie's lap and whispering something to the male's ear. Modo had wanted to sleep next to Jessica but he had offered her to sleep alone in the guest room since she had fallen first from all of them. Modo had the best tolerance for alcohol and since he was a very caring person, he wanted to make sure that his friends got to sleep safely.

"Vinnie got a plan.." Harley giggled in drunk. "Shhh! Don't-... Don't say anything.. It's marvll... Marvleous.. it's a master planN!!" Vinnie said, or tried to say. "Right.." Modo chuckled and rolled his eyes. "Now you should go to sleep. Vinnie seriously!" Modo said and crossed his arms while watching the white male getting up and starting to jump around the room.

Harley giggled and followed his lead, making Modo sigh again. "Oh mama.. I'd really prefer having the camera for now.." Modo chuckled to the view and sat on the bigger couch before preparing his bed for it. "You won't catch me!" Harley giggled after Vinnie had started to chase her. "Stop it guys.. Vinnie, seriously you are going to have a very bad hangover tomorrow!" Modo said after getting the bed ready for him. "Even some children would behave better" He thought to himself before he heard Vinnie answering him.

"That's for tomorroow!! Wohooo!!" Vinnie said while he had jumped on the living room table. "Remember this is Stoker's house!" Modo said and tried to catch him but he already jumped elsewhere. Meanwhile Harley crawled herself to the smaller couch that had been expanded to bed for two. "Vinniee... Give me a good night's kiss.." She said while lifting her hands in the air, ready to hug the male.

"Sure do honey!!" Vinnie said and then jumped on the couch, following a crash under it, just before landing on the floor. "And I'm not going to pay for that.." Modo sighed and then laid on the bigger couch while pulling the blanket over his ears. "Are you okay Vinnie? .. Vinnie?" Harley asked while looking down at the floor, luckily her side of the couch was still okay, but Vinnie had crashed the other side of it, meaning that he would sleep on the floor and later the day get very nice feedback from Carbine, not even mentioning Stoker when he finds out what happened.

But when Harley lifted the blanket over Vinnie's head, she saw that the male had fallen asleep already. Maybe he was used to sleeping wherever since a few nails and things from the broken couch didn't bother him and his greatness. The Female placed a gentle kiss on his forehead before lifting the blanket back on him. Then she got back to her place and pulled her blanket on her body. Vinnie just snored there peacefully, like the others did too in their beds. Jessica was sleeping in the guest room while Throttle was completely curled around Carbine, who had finally fallen asleep feeling herself safe. Maybe it was thanks to the alcohol, or her new and long hoped to be boyfriend.

But what was the plan Vinnie had been whispering with Harley before Modo came back downstairs? Would they remember it in the morning or was it just some drunken thing? And why Carbine was so suspicious about Jessica during the whole evening? Throttle had noticed some of those things of hers, but would he remember that either in the morning?
