(open) "Ain't it great ta be alive?"

[Chase]

Mush saw Sean pass out and Street get extremely bored. He let go of her wrists. He tilted his head back and stared at the ceiling. The fight had gone on for about ten minutes when Mush felt like he was going to fall asleep. He was fighting his eyelids to stay open and finally the waiter came over, ignoring the fight completely. Mush ordered a round and tapped Levi on the shoulder and handed him his. "Come on. Do ya really think she's gonna leave ya for some guy she don't know?" He asked Levi guesturing towards Street.

[Asher]

Levi looked at Mush and climbed off of Asher. He leaned in to him. "Look. I ain't the best guy out there. The only thing I got goin' for me versus that guy are my brains. This guy is polite and suave and good for her. I only cause trouble." Levi sighed. "What girl wouldn't want him over me?"

[Chase]

Mush looked at Levi seriously. He stared him down. "Yer goil. She wouldn't do that. And the sooner ya realize that, the betta." Mush picked up his shot glass and downed it. He glanced at Sean who was still asleep and grabbed his too. He pushed it towards Levi. "Here. Ya need this now more than he does."

[Asher]

Levi snorted. "And they say the Irish can drink." He shook his head. "I can hold my liquor better then Asher or Sean here." He sighed. "Look, I know all that about her, but... Part of me wonders if she only loves people who love her back. And not romantically. I'm part afraid that she loves everybody the same... She loved Spot because he let her live under the bridge, she loved Hunter because he protected her, she loves me because I love her. See?" Levi downed his glass and reached for another. "She loves Asher and Sean and you and Ophelia and Irish and Moira and Niamh and Goldie and Eli and even that Killer guy. All because they're alive and in her little world. I bet she even loves my mum and dad because they're my mum and dad. Get it?"

[Chase]

Mush nodded when Levi had finished. "Yeah, I get it. But that's who Street is. She cares bout everyone. But i know she loves ya more than anybody. I just know it Levi." He smiled and grabbed his shoulder. "If ya don't believe meh just ask her yerself." He said looking towards Street.

[Asher]

Levi choked on his drink. "Ask her?" He whispered furiously. "You've lost your mind." He said, shaking his head. Instead he asked, "What cha lookin' at Street?"

She turned to him with a surprised look. "Oh nothin' much. Just people watchin'. I think Asher's unconsious, Mush." She said, pointing to the base of her chair.

[Chase]

Mush rolled his eyes at Levi. He looked down at Asher. "Oh, he'll be alright. Won't he, Levi?" He patted Asher on the shoulder. He stirred and Mush looked back at Levi who was attempting a conversation with Street. When that was over, Mush looked at Levi again. "Since ya won't ask her, can i think ya believe meh? That she ain't gonna leave ya."

[Asher]

Levi looked at him sheepishly. "I dunno. I'm just sayin', if that Chase kid makes a move on her, I'm telling him everything. Everything. Including who's actually in love with him. That kid under the table." Levi said, kicking his foot and narrowly missing Asher's head. "I'll mess Chase up if he does anything stupid."

[Chase]

"Alright alright i can see where your comin' form. If anyone would lay a finger on-." Mush stopped. he was about to say Ophelia. "Well ya know what i mean." Mush smiled at him. He wanted to show he was alright even if he wasn't. Asher stirred and Mush tappped him on the shoulder. "Come on Sleepin' Beauty get up."

[Asher]

Asher groaned in response, Street helped him up and brushed his shirt off. Levi sighed and looked away. "Dude. We gotta find you somebody else. How about her?" He pointed to a small mousy brown haired girl. "Or how about her?" Levi pointed to another girl.

"Maybe Sofie?" Asher suggested groggily. Everyone looked at him.
"Sofie Nacht, she knows Chase from a German club or something. She sixteen I think. Blonde, messy haired, about as tiny as Street. Don't know her well. She's upper middle class. Not in Ophelia's league, but hey."

"If that be Ophelia's league, then that's Street's league too. Based on what Ophelia and Mercury said, Street's just as rich as they are, maybe more. 'Cause she was her parent's favorite, eh?" Sean suddenly said, slurring his words a bit. "See? Oi'm just sayin' what Oi figure..."

[Chase]

Mush made a noise as Levi pointed girls out to him. "Nah, i might just hafta go Asher's way." He laughed then abruptly stopped. "I'm kidding of course." He looked around at them, and laughed again. The looks on their faces was priceless. "I'll find a goil meself, honest. It may take awhile,but.." His voice trailed off. He looked over at Sean. "No more for ya bud." He said taking away Sean's drink.

[Asher]

Levi frowned. "So... Street's rich?" Everyone looked at her, her dress in ruins, smudges on her face, barefoot. "Nah." Street shrugged, grinning.

"I can't touch the money until Grandmama re-owns me. But... I'd have ta go ta a boardin' school and that don't fly with me. I'm fine how I am. It's always somethin' ta fall back on..." She said.

"I think you should met Sofie, Mush. I hear she's real nice. Look... There she is now..." Asher nodded to her, she was across the room, having a fancy-looking dinner with a sibling.


Sofie:

[Chase]

Mush looked over at the girl Asher was pointing at. She was pretty. "Asher.." He said. "she's uh eatin' let her be." He burped slightly and shook his head. He blinked rapidly. His head cleared. "Ah that is the last time i touch alcohol." For a while anyways, he thought.
