Laurel

I sat back, watching the sunrise just outside the window. Thea was laying on the other side of the room, sleeping.

So much can go wrong with wine...

"Lance, Queen!" The officer started opening the cell. "You ladies are free to go"

"What?" Thea started sitting up, "How?"

"Merlyn" He stated.

We walked out, seeing another officer getting our stuff ready. "Tommy?" I asked.

The officer handed me my bag and jacket, "Don't get into any more trouble, Lance" The officer chuckled.

We made our way to the lobby where Tommy was waiting. "You're both insane" He shook his head, "Oliver is at home, my dad is in the car"

"Oliver wasn't arrested?" Thea asked.

"No, he left you guys before the police arrived," He said.

"Why didn't he take us?" I asked, "He was supposed to be our DD"

"He tried to take you home, but you all insisted on going to the docks" He explained. "He had to get home to ensure William got to school"

"I mean, at least we won't be getting charged," Thea said as we got to Tommy's car.

"I think that's just because Laurel is good at being a lawyer even when she is drunk," Tommy said.

"God bless the justice that runs in your veins, Laur" We got in. Malcolm was leaning on the window, holding his forehead.

"You okay?" I asked.

"Yea, the pillows in there suck," He said. "How are you two?"

"I'm not touching another bottle of wine until I'm 35" Thea shook her head.

"How did you guys even manage to get that drunk off just wine?" Tommy asked, "It takes like 15 bottles to do it for me"

"We might have had beer as well, I can't remember," Thea said.

"Well, your flights at 9 tonight Laurel," Tommy said.

"What time is it now?" Malcolm asked.

"10 am" Tommy stated.

"You up for a late lunch date?" Malcolm asks me.

"Sounds good"

~

"That was amazing" I smiled, pushing my plate away.

"Yea, Oliver suggested this place," Malcolm said. "So..."

"Last night was crazy" I stated. "Do you remember what happened?"

"I think, after too many glasses of wine, we decided to go see some fireworks by the park, we might've had some beer, and that's all I remember," He says. "I know we did something to grab the police's attention while we were on the docks, but they didn't tell me what"

"I think Thea tried to borrow popcorn from someone's yacht," I said, "I don't know why popcorn is stuck in my head though"

"Well, how about we agree to never do something like that again, for a long time?" He chuckles.

"Agreed," I said.

"So, I'll be back in National City for a business trip in a week or so," He says, "And then I have a gala in Central city. Would you mind accompanying me?"

"To Central city?" I asked he nodded. "Sounds fun"

"Great" He smiled.

"But," I said, "While we are in National City, you have to allow me to plan a date, show you my normal date" 

"You drive a hard bargain" He smirked, "Alright, you can plan the next date"

"Great"

I dropped my bag and fell onto my couch, not even paying attention to Kara and Alex in the kitchen chatting. "Hey," Kara said. "No hello?"

"I am so tired," I said.

"Malcolm tired you out?" Alex smirked.

"Star City tired me out" I huffed.

"Thea told us about what happened" They walked over handing me a mug of tea. "So, tell us about your date"

"Well, he took me to the fanciest restaurant in the city, we ended up back at the Merlyn Manor" I talked into the mug.

"Oh?" They both smirked.

"And then Tommy caught us," I said, "I have never felt more awkward in my life"

"What did he have to say?" Kara asked.

"I don't know, he was very sarcastic," I said, "But we had fun. He's coming back here in a week and I have to plan a 'normal' date that fits my version of dates"

"OH!" Kara exclaimed. "I have an idea"

"No, no, no, save it for you and Oliver," I said.

"Laurel, have you met my sister?" Alex asked, "My sister can make anything happen, believe me, If she wants to plan a date for you and Malcolm, she well plan a date before you can even finish saying 'fine'"

"I don't know," I said, "I'm supposed to plan it"

"We have identical normal dates, come on" Kara gave me her puppy eyes.

"Oh no" I groaned. "Don't give me the puppy eyes"

"Please" She begged.

"..." I shook my head and sighed in defeat. "Fine"

"Yes!" she exclaimed. "You won't regret it"

I look at Alex, "Amazing back up" I glared.

"Hey! There is no immunity to her puppy eyes"
