Kelly grumbled, slapping at the hand that was poking her cheek, "Stop..."
Ashley laughed, "Fine, but Jill and Kate are leaving, and I thought you'd want to tell them bye."
Kelly opened an eye, gauging her best friend carefully, "Did I make a fool of myself?"
"No."
"Did I hit on any inanimate objects?"
"No."
"So it was a good birthday?"
"Yep," Ashley smiled, getting her to sit up. "And I'm sure once we get some food in you, you'll be able to remember some of it."
"Jill and Kate slept here last night?" Kelly raised an eyebrow.
"Yea, they had the cab bring them here since it was closer than their apartment. You were already passed out."
"You couldn't have woken me?"
"So you could try and get Kate to sleep in the same bed as you when you were drunk?" Ashley laughed, shaking her head. "Sorry, kid, but no can do. I gotta look out for you, remember?"
Kelly frowned, "Next time, make sure I'm not drunk."
"I still gotta look out for you when you're sober."
"Yea, but I can sneak past you better when there's no alcohol involved."
"Got your head yet?"
"I drank beer?" Kelly scrunched her eyebrows.
Ashley nodded, "Yep, you're gonna be just fine. Now come on, why don't you go take a shower because you are looking really rough, and aren't smelling much better, and I'll see if I can get them to stay for a bite to eat. How does that sound?"
"I don't know...I still feel a bit woozy."
"I'm not telling Kate to come help you in the shower, so don't even try."
Kelly laughed softly, "You're so my best friend."
"I know," Ashley ruffled her hair. "Now come on, a shower will get the rest of the cobwebs out."
Kelly nodded, untangling herself from the sheets.

"Mornin' Sunshine," Kelly laughed softly as she sat beside Kate at the snack bar. The taller blonde was resting her head on the countertop. Kelly ran her hand through her hair, "How you feel?"
"Ok," Kate nodded, her eyes closing at the feeling of Kelly scratching her scalp softly.
Kelly smiled, "Did you have fun last night?"
"Yea, it was great. Thanks for inviting us."
"Why wouldn't I invite y'all?"
"Because you have a lot of friends."
"Well," her hand paused on the back of Kate's neck. "Don't tell my other friends, because they might get jealous, but you are quickly racing up the charts as one of my favorites."
Kate laughed softly, pushing herself up into a sitting position, "What about you? You had a good time?"
"Yea...and now that the details are a lot less fuzzy, I can say that for sure," she nodded. "Did you sleep well?"
"Yea, Jill totally kicked me though. You should see the bruise."
"It's a king size bed."
"Not everybody has short legs like you," she teased.
"Don't be jealous," Kelly smirked.
"Here we go," Ashley and Jill walked in, each holding two plates of food. Ashley set one down in front of both girls before taking her own from Jill.
Kate made a face, looking at the plate loaded down with food.
Kelly covered her mouth, "I'm gonna be sick."
Ashley giggled as they watched her race down the hall to the bathroom.
"Is she ok?" Kate asked worriedly.
"She has a pretty weak stomach when it comes to food. It doesn't take much to get her sick, actually. And when she's hung over, just the smell of eggs is enough to set her off."
"Don't you think that's kind of mean?"
"Trust me--it's better to have her get it out now, than to have her skip breakfast and get sick during lunch which she has a business meeting for."
"True," Kate nodded. "Should I go check on her?"
"No," Ashley quickly replied.
Kate raised an eyebrow.
"Sorry, just...best friend duties. I seriously doubt she wants you to see her like that," Ashley patted her shoulder as she walked by her, headed towards the bathroom.
+++++++++++++
"So this is like a double date?" Ashley asked as she flipped through the channels on the television.
"No," Kelly laughed, stretched out on the sofa with her feet in Ashley's lap.
"You're just having a meal with someone you like while Jill has a meal with someone she likes, and y'all just happen to have y'alls meals together...sounds like a double date to me."
"Well, it's not. It's more of a me meeting the girl and seeing if there's actually enough there to make it worth pursuing this."
"Now are you talking about Jill's friend or Kate?"
"Jill's friend."
"Right, because you've already realized there's enough there with Kate," Ashley teased.
"Why do I keep you around?"
"Because I'm your favorite," she shrugged. "Oh, Judge Joe Brown."
Kelly shook her head, "What's the fascination with him? I don't get it."
"He's a man of power, and kinda old which totally makes him hot."
"Ok...ew."
Ashley laughed, "Ok, so tell me what you know."
"I know that Jill really likes this girl."
"Is she gay?"
"Kate said she's been with a girl, but hasn't actually dated one."
"Hm...that could be tricky."
"Yea, if Jill really likes her, I don't thinks she's looking just to hook up."
"Especially not with one of her close friends," Ashley shook her head. "Does Jill know?"
"Know what?"
"That y'all are playing cupid."
"Not y'all...Kate. I'm just along for the ride."
"She's already got you whipped," Ashley smirked.
"Does not."
"Oh, come on. That's such a girlfriend thing to do--get their significant other to help them hook one of their friends up. The only way you could be more whipped would be if she was trying to hook Jill up with one of your friends."
"I'm not whipped."
Ashley raised an eyebrow.
"I just like making her smile," Kelly shrugged.
"I know," she patted her leg.
"I just wish I would find somebody I liked making smile that I didn't work with."
"And who was gay."
"Well, that, I can work with," Kelly laughed softly.
"You know, I like seeing you like this."
"Like how?"
"Confident when it comes to dating."
"It helps when you know going into it that you're gonna be shot down," she pointed out.
"The whole nothing to lose thing," Ashley nodded. She looked up at the clock, "So when are you gonna start getting ready for your double date?"
"It's not a double date, and what's wrong with what I have on?"
Ashley glanced over her outfit, "Nothing...I mean, I guess it's ok..."
"Ugh," Kelly groaned, sitting up. "Fine, fine, I'll go change."
+++++++++
"Hey," Kelly smiled, standing from her chair, giving Jill and Kate each a quick hug as they joined her in the restaurant.
"Cute shirt," Kate replied.
Kelly smiled wider, making a mental note to thank Ashley when she got back. She noticed the girl standing next to Jill, "Hi."
"Hi," the girl greeted with a gentle smile. "I'm Meghan."
"It's nice to meet you," Kelly nodded as they all sat down. "So I've never been here before, so I'm not sure what's good."
"You've never been here?" Jill raised an eyebrow in shock.
"Is that bad?"
"It's Jill's favorite restaurant," Kate explained. "Plus, there's no valet parking, so I thought you'd like that."
"There's no valet parking?"
"No."
"Then who's that kid outside I gave the keys to my range rover to?"
Kate's jaw dropped, her face turning pale.
"Ha, just kidding," Kelly pushed her playfully. "Dork."
"That's not funny," Kate laughed.
"I thought it was brilliant," Jill replied.
"Definitely," Meghan agreed.
"Yea, well, you all suck," Kate nodded surely.
Kelly patted her arm, soothingly, "So, Meghan, you went to college with Jill and Kate?"
"Yep," she nodded.
"Is this the Martha's Vineyard one?"
"Yea, that's the one. We had such a blast over there."
"What brought you out to L.A.?"
"Is this like a job interview or something?" Jill cut in, causing Meghan to giggle. She smiled.
"No, sorry," Kelly apologized, laughing softly.
"I came over here for my job," Meghan explained.
"And you like it?"
"It's L.A.," she shrugged.
"Very true," Kelly agreed, looking up as the waiter appeared at the table. "That was fast."
"You're not ready?" Kate asked.
"I have no clue what to get."
"You want me to order for you?" she offered.
"Actually, that'd be great, because I seriously have to pee," Kelly nodded, standing.
"Are you hungry for anything in particular?"
"Nah, just get what you think. We've eaten enough together, you know what I like."
Kate nodded, smiling as Kelly gave her arm a gentle squeeze before walking away.

"So Kate and I look out the door of our dorm room, and we see Meghan running down the hall in only a towel, shampoo still in her hair, screaming something about a fire," Jill finished, causing the rest of the table to laugh.
"Ok, ok, in my defense, how was I supposed to know that they were testing the alarms?" Meghan replied.
"I don't know, maybe the fact that they had been announcing all day that they would be working on the fire alarms, so we should ignore them?" Kate suggested.
"But, still, what if when they're working on the fire alarms, a real fire occurred? Nobody would take it seriously. We'll see who's laughing then," Meghan nodded.
Jill raised an eyebrow, "Nobody because we would all have burned to death. Thanks, Meg."
"Oh, shut it," Meghan nudged her. "You know what I meant."
Jill giggled, turning back to Kelly, "The best part were the pictures."
"Y'all got pictures of it?"
"The entire hall did," she nodded. "We posted them all over campus."
Kelly covered her mouth to keep from laughing too loudly, "That sucks."
"It did. I was known as the fire streaker for the rest of the semester," Meghan laughed.
"You didn't get mad at them for it?"
"Nah, they both felt bad about how public it had gotten, so one day they ran through the courtyard in the middle of the campus in only a towel, screaming fire at the top of their lungs. After that, everybody forgot about me, and gave them hell."
Kelly turned to Kate with a smile.
"We just wanted to help her out a bit," Kate shrugged.
"So where are the pictures of you in a towel?"
Jill laughed, and Kate blushed a dark red.
Kelly smirked as she took the napkin from her lap, placing it on the plate before her.
"You're finished?"
"Yea, it was great, thanks hun."
"I'm glad you liked it," Kate smiled, watching as she stood.
"I'm going wash my hands. You're finished?"
She nodded, accepting the Texan's hand, allowing her to guide her to the back.
"So what do you think?" Kate asked as she closed the bathroom door behind them.
"Shh," Kelly raised a finger as she stepped to her.
Kate froze.
Kelly smiled, reaching around her, opening the door just enough so she could look out, "Watch."
Kate turned, bending down a little so Kelly could see over her shoulder. She could feel the shorter girl's hands on either side of her against the door.
"You see that?" she whispered.
"S-see what?"
"The way Meghan's shoulders are turned to Jill," Kelly replied. "The way they are both leaning closer to each other, showing they could care less about whatever else is going on in the restaurant."
"That's, um, that's good right?" Kate turned her head back to look at the Texan.
"That's very good," Kelly smiled, looking her in the eye. "She likes her."
"So what now?"
"Now we figure out a way to get them together," Kelly reclosed the door, taking a step back.
"How do we do that?"
"I'm not sure yet. This is more Ashley's area of expertise. Do you mind if I talk to her about it?"
"Not at all," Kate shook her head.
"Cool," Kelly smiled. "Now, let's go before they think we drowned in the toilet or something."
Kate laughed, opening the door, allowing Kelly to pass through, "The stuff you think up some times...it amazes me."
