Girls' Night Out(Song)

[KARP KARP!]

Holly's focus snapped back to Trish when the drummer spoke. "I'd say you don't have to, but girl you have my attention," she said quickly. "What else is she like?" she asked.

At first, Trish really didn't have to make it up to her, but now that Holly was interested, the drummer most definitely had to live up to it. Holly stared at Trish with deep, wanting blue eyes.

[SongofWindchimes]

Trish chuckled a little at her best friend's reaction, even if being on the receiving end of Holly's 'want' look made her a touch uncomfortable. "Her name's Bianca," she said with a smile, "And I don't think I've ever seen her not interested in a good time." She'd leave Holly to assume what definition of 'good time' she wanted, since Bianca was pretty much interested in all of them. "Loves bars, loves to dance, and...well...." Though she felt strange doing it, Trish made a quick outline of a generous hourglass figure in the air with her hands.

"She's not shy, either," she went on. "At all. And she's focused. She'll be all over you if you want her to, and she won't be able to keep her eyes off you either." Trish chuckled to herself. Partier, gorgeous, sexual, and would give Holly all of her attention. She was pretty sure she'd hit every note there. Not that she knew every single intimate detail of Bianca's private life, but the other woman was so completely shameless that is was hard not to know what she did know.

[KARP KARP!]

Holly's jaw practically dropped. "Trish, have I ever told you how much I love you, girl?" Holly's eyes practically sparkled; it wasn't often she had something like this handed to her, especially by Trish. Usually, the woman had to find out the hard way what someone was like.

"Thanks soooo much," she said, almost as if she hadn't done this sort of thing before. Well, it was her first time like this, actually. "Heh...never thought I'd see the day Trish Walker sets up Holly Marxx with a date." She teasingly stuck out her tongue.

[SongofWindchimes]

Trish chuckled at Holly's enthusiastic thanks. She loved seeing her that happy. In fact, seeing that sparkly-eyed look on her best friend's face made her comfortable enough to stick out her own tongue a little in response, clicking the little silver stud against her upper teeth before she withdrew it. "Yeah, yeah. Maybe you are rubbing off on me, girly. A little."

Trish went for what was left of her drink, her smirk seemingly heading toward being permanent. "So much for this night not being about guys or girls, huh?" She chuckled. "But she'll be thrilled when I talk to her, guarantee you, girly. And she's always telling me she knows every club worth going to in the Capital, so I'm sure you'll have fun." And she knew that fun wouldn't end at the clubs, but that went without saying regarding both women involved.

[KARP KARP!]

Holly gave another grin. "Well, tonight wasn't about dating. We just set each other up for a later date," she replied with a nod.

"You'll have fun too, ya know. Mason may not be as outgoing as I am, but deep down he knows how to have a good time." Not that Holly meant that sexually, but hey, she knew the two of them would get along great.

[SongofWindchimes]

Trish sighed just a little. "I'm sure he does," she said, also not meaning it in the slightest bit sexually, "I know I'm being silly." She trusted Holly that things would go well with Mason, but that wouldn't stop her from being nervous about this whole thing. She'd be clinging to her moral support (ie Holly) right up until he was right in front of her, and she knew it.

Trish sipped the last bit of drink from her glass and set it down. She didn't bother ordering another; she didn't really like to have more than one drink most of the time. There were exceptions, of course, but tonight wasn't one of them. "You want to hit the dancefloor again?" She chuckled. "Or did you want to grill me about Bianca first?" Trish wasn't going to forget that look on Holly's face any time soon.

[KARP KARP!]

Holly smiled at Trish, giving a slight nod at the 'silly' comment. Teasingly, of course.

"Actually, I think I know enough about her for now. I'd like to see the rest for myself. Besides, I don't wanna make you feel any weirder than you probably already do," the woman chuckled, sliding out of her seat and heading for the dance floor. "You comin' or what?"

[SongofWindchimes]

Trish shrugged at the comment on making her feel weird. Oh, she did feel weird, probably weirder than she'd ever felt in her life, but she was willing to deal with that for Holly. That didn't mean that she didn't give a mental sigh of relief all the same. It was probably for the best, anyway, since the person who could best make Bianca look good was Bianca.

Trish chuckled and slipped off her chair, but not before carefully tucking the picture with Mason's phone number away. "Right behind you."

The music was infectious, and Trish quickly found herself moving to the beat again. She let any remaining anxiety and awkwardness melt away; girls' night out now, all that other stuff later.

[KARP KARP!]

Holly gave a chuckle as she too, gave in to the beat of the music. Her eyes closed as her body bounced in time to the music.

---

After a while, things had started to slow down. Then again, it was late; how late, Holly didn't know. Not that Holly Marxx was tired or anything. In fact, the guitarist lived for the night life. The woman looked over at Trish.

[SongofWindchimes]

Trish didn't immediately notice Holly looking at her. That alone was a pretty good indicator of her state. Dancing had ended for the moment, and she was just sitting down, resting her head on one hand while the other tapped her fingers on the table along to the beat, though she'd still stuck to her 'one drink' rule for the night.

Not that Trish was worn out by the dancing; it was just late. Despite appearances, she probably got up earlier in the morning than anyone in the band, with the obvious exception of Charisma, their straight-edge bassist, whose schedule was obviously far more normal and healthy than any of them. Trish couldn't even stay up too late reading, one of her favourite activities.

After a moment, Trish's icy eyes drifted over to Holly, and she intentionally perked up a little and stopped resting her head on her hand, looking a bit more alert than before. Her eyes lacked any fatigue, looking just as sharp as ever, but Holly would know better than to use that as an indicator, Trish knew. The fact that she had to put her hand to her mouth to stifle a yawn before speaking was a far better one.

Trish chuckled faintly, smirking. "Well, girly, I think we've confirmed I'd make a horrible vampire."

[KARP KARP!]

Holly gave a chuckle, herself. "I can see that, Sis. But we had a heck of a time. And we both have dates!" The girl flashed a grin.

"Okay, let's go home. We've got a big week, now." Holly winked, excited for both of them.

[SongofWindchimes]

Trish smirked at the wink, starting to get out of her seat. 'Home' amounted to where they were staying in the city tonight, but that had stopped sounding ironic years ago. Home was where the band was to her, since she was so used to moving around. The others were the constant in her life, and she wouldn't have it any other way.

"I still need to call Bianca," she said, thinking aloud more than anything. Bianca probably was either out or asleep, but she could leave a message if she was and talk to her tomorrow. Trish's voice was fairly calm, but that was just her sleepiness combined with her general low-key emotions. There was still an excited glitter in her eyes, and Holly had enough outward enthusiasm for the both of them most of the time, anyway.

Once they'd headed out of the club and put a bit of distance between themselves any watching eyes, Trish slowed down a little. "Hey, girly..." She finally gave into her urge to hug the other woman. "Thanks. I shoulda done this sooner but...y'know."

[KARP KARP!]

"You can call her whenever you're ready. I'm a patient woman," Holly replied.

Once they got outside, Holly was mildly surprised when Trish hugged her. Trish normally didn't do that kind of thing. Gently, Holly returned the hug. "Hey, it's no problem, Trish. That's what I'm here for."

[SongofWindchimes]

Trish smiled and her eyes softened, pulling away a little without breaking the hug. "I feel like I should be used to this by now, but I'm not." 'This' meant a lot of things; Trish often used it as a catch-all term for the way her life was now. At this moment, it primarily referred to having such a close friend.

Trish chuckled a little, glancing at her arms as if only now realizing what she was doing. "You really are rubbing off on me." She pulled back from Holly completely, still smiling. "Keldeo forbid, I might be almost normal someday," she said with something of a soft laugh. Trish adored Holly, but she liked being the way she was. Giving into the occasional affectionate urge was fairly safe, though; it wouldn't be the first time she'd ever hugged her best friend, just the first in recent memory.

As they continued on their way, Trish smirked a little. "Y'know, as patient as you are," she said, "I really don't mind calling Bianca now if you want." She was positive she'd say yes, but part of Trish wanted to confirm it; the only reason she hadn't done it earlier in the night was because she didn't want to interrupt their fun. Besides, if Bianca was home, Trish could actually pass the phone over to Holly and let her talk to her if she wanted.

[KARP KARP!]

Holly smiled again, though for her a smile was practically permanent. "You wouldn't be you if you were always grabby-feely excited, Trish," she replied softly. "And trust me, neither of us are exactly normal."

Her eyes lit up when she mentioned calling Bianca. "You can call her now if you want. I mean, I did call Mason for you." At this she stuck her tongue out again.

[SongofWindchimes]

"S'pose not," Trish admitted at the mention of neither of them being normal. She shrugged. "I probably don't know what 'normal' really is, anyway." She just knew she wasn't it, and she didn't care.

Trish stuck her own tongue out in return, her tongue piercing giving a small 'click click' against her top teeth as it returned to her mouth. She chuckled as she went for her cell phone, a simple black thing with far too many pokemon stickers on it, all of them being of creepy species like ghosts and bats, of course. She dialed and waited, expecting an answering machine.

A faint look of surprise came to Trish's face as she said, "Hey, Bianca. It's Trish. Wasn't sure you'd be home." She paused, though Holly really wouldn't be able to hear anything but a faint sound that implied there was someone speaking on the other end of the call. "Ah. Well, you gotta do inventory sometime in that place, I guess." Trish glanced sideways at Holly. "Anyway, the reason I called is, I was wondering if you might be able to make time in that busy schedule of yours for a date."

At the reply, Trish's expression suddenly became completely deadpan., "Not with me." A very loud and clear fit of laughter burst from the cellphone, and Trish pulled it away from her ear a bit, not because of the sound, but simply to better give it an icy look. She put it back to her ear as the laughter faded. "You done? Good. As I was saying, I told Holly I'd see about getting you two a date."

A pause. "Yes, Holly Marxx." Another pause. "Yes, the Holly Marxx who plays guitar in the band." A third pause. "When have I ever been known to yank your chain?" Trish deadpanned again. "That doesn't count. So is that a yes?" A smile crossed Trish's face...which quickly turned into another deadpan look. "I really didn't need that mental image, B." More laughter came from the phone.

Trish looked at Holly, the smile coming back. "She says yes," she stated, in a tone that made the sentence seem right at home with an 'of course' at the end; there hadn't been a hint of doubt that she would. "You wanna talk to her?" she offered.

[KARP KARP!]

Holly wasn't all that nervous, but she was curious. The guitarist tried her damnedest to hear what Bianca was saying. No matter; Holly still found it funny, able to hear the laughter.

"She sounds like one hell of a time, from what I gather, she murmured. "Yes? Not surprising, but I'm still happy as hell."

When asked if she wanted to talk, Holly all but snatched the phone. "OF course I wanna talk, silly!" She held the phone to her ear. "Hi, Bianca? Holly Marxx."

[SongofWindchimes]

Trish rolled her eyes at the comment on Bianca being 'one hell of a time.' Holly didn't know the half of it. Quite literally, since she was only hearing half of the conversation. She let Holly have the cell phone, mostly because she rather liked to keep her hands attached to her wrists. She'd had enough of Bianca's sense of humour for a while, anyway.

Holly's greeting was met with a soft chuckle. "Well, I guess Trish really wasn't yanking my chain," commented a smooth, feminine voice on the other end of the line. "Hello, Holly. Very nice to speak to you." The woman's flirtatious purr was perhaps a bit less effective over a phone, but its presence would still be difficult to miss. "I have to admit, I'm a little surprised...Pleasantly surprised, of course."

[KARP KARP!]

"Nope. Normally it's me yanking hers," Holly joked. Okay, just by the voice, this chick sounded like what was promised and more. "Nice to speak to you too. Surprise? Girl, you don't know the meaning of the word surprise yet," she purred, giggling. For a second, the girl forgot Trish was standing right there.

[SongofWindchimes]

Oh, yes, Trish was indeed standing right there, and the moment Holly started purring, she had become very interested in the sky. This was so weird. In fact, the sheer weirdness was really only now sinking in. Holly was flirting with a girl Trish had actually suggested dating, while on her cellphone. Well, at least her best friend seemed to like what she was hearing.

"Hmm...Is that a promise?" came the sultry reply, "Because I think you'll find I know a lot of things, sweetie."
