-Well, I have to go home now …

-And I'm NOT giving you your keys back!

-I know! Wasn't supposed to drink tonight

-But you have to admit, it was worth it

Dave looked way too proud of himself, how the hell was Edward supposed to go home now. His car was kind of parked far away, he didn't want to walk all the way and was still kind of drunk. He looked back at the crowd starting to split up and disappear, saw some girl with… that's Lazlo right? She was writing her number in his palm, ''why is he so popular'' Dave said out loud,

-My thoughts exactly

-Hey …we should do something with him, like a drinking contest, only the weirdest people are still here, maybe, if we get enough people wasted Samson will let us sleep here, and if Lazlo stays, the girls will stay too …

He then devilishly laughed at his own plan, Edward didn't think it was a good idea but, apparently, he was already a part of it '' HEY! LAZLO'' Dave yelled across the garden

He turned around and saw them in the distance, Dave was making large movements with his hands so he could see them, it was quite dark.

-Hey!

He was now near them, and as expected, Edward spotted at least two girls watching Lazlo from a distance, looking if he was leaving or not.

-Are you leaving already? The party just started!

-Ah no I was just saying good bye to some people and…

-Alright! Let's go back Pingpong told me they were going to do some contests inside!

Lazlo giggled and looked at Edward

-Sounds fun

They went back inside and gathered a couple of people to go with them, lots of girls … Edward didn't care that much, he was kind of tired but, the show must go on. As they were setting some things up, he was left in the kitchen. He then started doing some of the dishes, trying to save some work for Samson the day after. Not a lot of people tried to clean up before leaving,

-That's nice of you

Lazlo was next to him, picked a cloth and helped him out

-You know Dave is using you right?

-Yeah …I don't mind

Lazlo than smiled and looked at him again … 'he's kind of cute' Edward thought

-How many numbers did you get I'm curious

-Five

-really!?

-Yeah, is that impressive?

Lazlo just laugh it off he looked a bit embarrassed but overall happy.

-I'm glad I got to talk to you a bit, I …

Edward accidently broke one of the glasses

-shit ..

-Good thing you still have your shoes on though, I'll go get the broom

Lazlo left and came back shortly after, Edward had already picked a couple of the big pieces and discarded them

-Hey don't break everything you two

Dave told them in the other room

-Anyway come here everything is ready

They all sat around a table in the basement, Samson told them they could stay there as late as they wanted, they cleaned up the place a bit, in case everyone was too wasted to make place to sleep later and basically started a series of drinking games. There were a lot of squirrel scouts left which was surprising. Most of the boys had left, Chip and Skip were there, Dave and Ping Pong, Edward, Lazlo and Samson. With the girls there was, Patsy, Nina Almandine and 6 other girls who they didn't really know. But as Dave puts it, they're cute so who cares. They got to a point where the dares started …

-If you can finish THIS drink, then you can kiss whoever you want here!

It was established earlier in the games that everyone was single so it quickly became a matching game. The drink in question looked horrible, black and blue somehow, cheap fruit liquors mixed together in a big glass, not that big but disgusting nevertheless. Patsy started the game, obviously … Always trying to get Lazlo alone, all the guys saw that coming, and even though she drank like crazy it didn't seem to affect her that much, which was a sign of an easy victory for her but Dave stepped in

-Good idea! And it should be a one on one fight!

-Yeah! I'll play against Lazlo!

-No it'll be Edward, because clearly Lazlo will be your prize!

Dave said, way too proudly. Lazlo was laughing, clearly had too much to drink but he seemed okay about it, not too much of a winner on this one though, chances were slim. You could hear Chip and Skip opening bets in the back ground, anyone would bet on Patsy but since she was already kind of drunk, Edward actually had chances. They made a second big glass of whatever that was and Dave established rules. They had to finish it in one go, which means that if the glass goes down even once they lose, If they win they kiss whoever they want, or chose someone for the loser to kiss, and

-They have to be of the same gender

All the guys went crazy encouraging Edward and trying to influence his choice for Patsy's kiss. Lazlo looked embarrassed said a quiet ''I'm sorry'' to Pasty who gave a death stare at Dave for pulling this one off, Chip then said in the background

-Come on we know you just want to kiss Lazlo smooch!

They all laughed and made jokes about how Edward should save Lazlo and pick Nina for the kiss. Someone then asked, if you lose what happens?

-Nothing happens, I think people are already hyped

Edward and Patsy were staring at each other, Edward had all the guys on his side and Patsy had encouragement on hers. '' What is that stupid grin, you didn't win yet!''

-I just think your frustration speaks for itself

And he let go of a small evil laugh. They all gathered around, some took out there phones to film, wouldn't miss that right? Edward looked at his glass, the drinks were made by the girls and he had the feeling his was stronger, but he could take it, if it was Lazlo though he probably wouldn't have been able to, he doesn't look like he can drink that much compared to Edward, 'thank you college years'

Go!

They both started at the same time, it tasted awful, and mostly vodka apparently, mixed with… whiskey? It burned when going down his throat, didn't stop though. They were drinking it at the same speed, Edward heard people react around him, Patsy's glass momentarily shifted, but she kept it up … FINISHED … it's a draw.

-Edward finished first!

-Patsy's glass went down!

-Edward wasn't drunk enough!

-Sore loser!

Dave interrupted them

-I'll be the judge of that … They both win! Now make your picks!

Patsy started whispering with Nina and some of the girls, she was now very drunk, AND irritated and declared

-Okay, I'll kiss Nina! (Guy's cheers in the back ground) But you'll have to kiss Lazlo …Like this!

She then took Nina by the collar (who looked prepared for it) and French kissed her intensively, all the guys were cheering, Edward briefly took a second to look at Lazlo who just did a small nod, as to say okay, he didn't seemed bothered by it. Edward then waited for the girls to finish and gave Patsy a dirty grin. He then turned around to Lazlo who pulled a chair next to him and kissed him, open mouth all the way, all the girls screamed, they heard camera flashes even the guys cheered in a '' yeah show them'' manner. When they finished, Edward turned to Patsy who looked horrified. Edward drunkenly put his elbow on the table to rest his face on his hand and said ''want to get sick together now?'' Patsy looked at him and smiled

-Edward, I hate you

They both laughed, the drinks were kicking in for both of them. Dave helped Edward back up, Patsy went with two of her girls to the bathroom her face was pale and she didn't look well. Edward had trouble standing up. It was officially the end of the night.

Lazlo had a hand on his face, looking exasperated (why do these things keep happening) some of the guys were joking around telling him ''Sorry Lazlo, we couldn't save you in the end!'' with fake crying. He saw Dave leave with Edward and followed them. They stayed in a room on the side, which looked like a small living room. There was a couch and chairs, some people must a stayed there during most of the party. Cups laying around and coats and bags. Dave helped Edward lay down and place a bucket near him.

-I'll go get some water

Sais Lazlo, he was about to leave the room but Dave stopped him

-No I'll do it, stay with him for a while, there's something I need to do.

He then left, told Chip and Skip to stay around in case Edward got really sick and they had to take him out. So they were 4 in the room, no one seemed to care too much, Samson got in the room at some point, cleaned up a bit, Lazlo helped him and they talked for a while. Lazlo was sitting on a chair near the couch where was Edward, not next to him but on the adjacent wall. Samson talked about why he wanted the reunion party and how he was happy about it, and most people came, how he was surprised how he managed to find every one with the help of Dave and Pingpong'' I really felt like there was something different about camp and, the people there you know? Maybe I was just nostalgic''

It was late at night now, all the lights were closed most people were asleep. A shuffling sound woke Lazlo up, Edward was sitting down, both hands on his head, bend over, he didn't look well. He looked really hangover.

-you okay?

He turned around, Lazlo was half asleep, looking worried.

-I'm alright

Edward's voice was groggy, he then tried to get up, not to stable on his legs, Lazlo, who was feeling just fine, helped him out of the room.

-Where are you going?

-I need to get to my car

-Do you think you're going to drive like that … because I'm not letting you

-No..no Dave has my keys anyway, I … I don't need them, I just have to …. I need something in the truck …yeah right aha

-You're not really clear

They were now outside, Lazlo waved at some of the guys smoking outside, so someone would know they weren't dead on the side of the road or something

-Hey …..hey Lazlo

-What …

-You gonna call her?

-Who ..Patsy? I don't really like her …

-No the girl on your hand …

-What are you talking about… you're drunk

-The phone number on your hand

-oh …

He had completely forgotten about that

-You already forgot about it (he scoffed) guess that answers the question

Lazlo felt his cheeks get warmer, he felt kind of bad he'd forgotten about her …What was her name again?

-Anyway, it's not like you would call all five of them anyway right?

-no …indeed

-well …

-what is it

-I can't find it

-find what

-My car haha
