Lucky #13

Roxie had spent a tremendous amount of time getting ready for a wedding that wasn’t her own but to her, every event was worth the effort. It was something her grandfather had taught her and something she had followed through with even after leaving the Isle. She had made sure to show up on time for it though, knowing it wasn’t her big day before making somewhat late appearance at the reception when things had chilled out. She wasn’t much for all the dancing but she enjoyed watching everyone who was off beat, cackling and taking advantage of the free food. “Think they’ll notice if I steal a bottle or two from the bar? You willing to play distraction? I promised I wouldn’t set off any pranks for the wedding and I’m trying hard to keep that word.”

Piper sat down while fanning herself after dancing, she smiled at Roxie. She loved the girl but the fact that she even made such a promise to not pull any pranks at the wedding just didn't seem right with Piper. "Ugh! I can't believe you would make such a promise. I'll tell you what, I'll be your distraction if you share the prize, deal?" she asked while offering her hand to Roxie "Also you have to reconsider that lame promise, like the whole point of a big wedding is to have fun and not be limited."

Ginny sat at her table, her third glass of champagne freshly drained of its contents was pushed to the side as she crossed her arms in front of her and sank her chin to rest on top. “I was told I was allowed to have cake,” she pouted, staring longingly at the monument sitting at the front of the room. “So far all it’s done is sit there and taunt me.”

"It's a tradition that we have to wait for the happily married couple to cut it before we can get a piece ourselves" Piper said while pouring herself another glass of champagne. At this point she had just taken the bottle instead of trying to flag someone to get her a new one, a few more drinks in and she might be drinking straight from the bottle. "You think if we go around and sneak in a piece they'll notice?" She asked wondering who was supposed to be in charge of the cake so one of them can distract them while the other one gets the cake.

It was no surprise to her that by the end of the night her date had disappeared on her; she’d known when he sent her the invite that she wasn’t his first choice for company, but it was sweet that he came with her anyway. She didn’t ask at the time, but she was fairly certain he even mentioned that the entire thing was just to make someone jealous, so the fact that he wasn’t there meant that it worked, right? And she totally shouldn’t feel bad about that! But she did feel a little lonely, and a little awkward since it probably looked as if she were standing around waiting for Kaz to return. To keep herself from looking pathetic, Kaya made her way over to where the cake stood under the guise of admiring the decorations. From there she made a plan to grab a fresh drink and take another round around the dance floor, all while wearing a smile on her face and hoping that nobody noticed that she’d been ditched. That would be so embarrassing.

Piper smirked at the DJ and blew a kiss at them when the song she had requested finally came on. She put her drink at the nearest table and ran towards Kaya, who happened to be the closet to her. "Girl, you have to dance with me. I've been waiting for this song and the DJ finally put it on" she excitedly explained while grabbing to the girl's free hand while the beat for Icona Pop "I Love It" began to play.

Izzy had to laugh at all the people she watched stumbling around, and sure she wasn’t sober herself, but she’d seen more than one group of friends playing drinking games which only resulted in them getting absolutely shitfaced. She could see a few people in her peripheral and decided to speak up. “Okay, so who wants to take bets on who’s going to be the first fight, who’s going to be the first getting way too inappropriate with each other in public, and who’s going to throw up on the dance floor?”

Piper drank her shot before looking at the people who Izzy was talking about and scoff "Lame. People haven't started drama since last wedding, but I'm game. I never back out of a good beat." Piper rubbed her hand as she studied everyone "Okay for inappropriate behavior it has to go with Felix and Frankie...or maybe Felix and Kaya. I mean I heard she came with Kaz but has been flirting non-stop with Felix. Whatever. I'll get back on the fight part, but as for the puking at the dance floor it might just be one of the Dales or one of the Lost Boys. They've been in the dance floor non-stop and Curly and his stupid banana costume keep bumping into me whenever I'm around." She huffed as she crossed her arms in annoyance.

Bernie poked at the chocolate-covered sponge on his plate, looking at it in disappointment. “Why isn’t it growing into a chocolate dinosaur?” he asked, his lips turning downwards into a frown. “I really wanted to give the grooms a pet dino as part of their present, but this works like… way better in water.”

Piper smirked at Bernie and his innocent behavior "Bern, it only works in water but the fact that you thought of a chocolate dinosaur is pretty rad." She poked at the sponge before grabbing a cup of water "Do you have another one? What if you put it in water and then cover it in chocolate?”

“Wait, don’t drink that!” Nova insisted, reaching out a hand to cover the cup of punch. “My chameleon’s gone missing, and he likes to take baths in things that fall on the red side of the color wheel, so… I just wanted to check that he’s not in there first, is that okay?”

Piper looked at her drink and then at Nova repeat-ability wondering if the girl was trying to mess with her or not. She finally stopped before shaking her head in amusement "Well if he's in here then he might be pretty drunk, this is mostly alcohol, girl." She replied while giving her drink to Nova to see if her chameleon was in her cup, "Where was the last time you've seen him. We were supposed to have him do something epic like jump out of the cake or something."

“Okay, here’s a real question,” Gani insisted, trying to speak between her giggles. Champagne always made her silly, and in this case, maybe a little more loose-lipped than she meant to be about magic use. Still, it was all in hypothetical fun that she was able to ask, “I know they give babies blessings when they’re born, you know? But say a magic being was here now and allowed… what do you think would be the best magical blessing to bestow upon our two happy grooms?”

Piper drank from her champagne and smiled at Gani, she had been looking for someone to have a good time and here was Gani, her savior. As she spoke about magic, Piper's mind went to so many possibilities to pull pranks on everyone at the reception. "Wait, first I have to know that you're willing to actually perform magic" she asked "because if so then you and I are going to have a good time." Piper exclaimed excitedly, “Girl what kind of blessing are we talking about here? How about the blessing to keep their sex life awesome so their marriage doesn’t fail.”

Sighing and feeling defeated, Julianne finally plopped down in a chair at the table nearest to her. Her feet were tired and her throat was starting to feel dry, but she was pretty sure everything to drink at the reception had alcohol in it and she was doing her best to stay away from that stuff. She spoke out hopefully, maybe someone at the table she’d sat at knew where she could just get a bottle of water. “You wouldn’t know where I can find something to drink that isn’t alcoholic, would you? I know there’s the punch bowl, but knowing some people in this crowd, it’s bound to have been spiked by now.”

Piper took a sip of her drink while messaging Kally to make sure she wasn't on her phone again playing Wizards Unite instead of having a good time. She was mid rant of why she shouldn't play the game now of all places when she heard someone to her right talk to her. Piper looked at the younger Hoods and raised a brow at the girl before smirking at her. "I wouldn't recommend the punch bowl if you're not looking to get drunk. I was the one to spike it, taste way better" Piper said before sighing to herself feeling bad for the girl. "Here" she replied while taking out a water bottle that was hidden away just in case for when she was too drunk to get one herself or too tired. "Don't get me wrong I think it's lame not to drink at the most amazing event yet but each to their own." She said as she finished her message and sent it to Kally before giving Julianne her full attention, “So what’s your deal? You just don’t like drinking or don’t have anyone to drink with?”

“Oh God, you’re not going to tell the grooms you caught me playing Wizards Unite at their wedding, are you?” Kally asked as she clutched her phone tightly to her chest, hiding her screen even though she was sure the damage was already done.

Piper had sat down with a huff while she took a bit of a break from dancing before noticing Kally on her phone. As the ever curious girl that Piper was she leaned over and raised a brow when she noticed her fellow D&D mate was playing a game on a wedding party instead of shaking it out on the dance floor. "No, because if this had been a class then I would have been doing the same thing" she said with a shake of her head not sure why she was so surprised that Kally wasn’t out there having a good time "but this is a party girl. What are you doing? You're supposed to be out having the time of your life."

To say that Harper was having the time of her life would be an understatement. She was dancing the night away with friends in celebration of two guys she didn’t know super well, but she was glad to have been invited to the wedding. And she’d even got herself a drink, and another, and another, and being that Harper never really drank…ever…she was totally starting to get sloshed. But she didn’t care that things were starting to get a little blurry, she was having fun! And while she meant it to come out in a whisper, she accidentally yelled out to the people around her. “Oh my god, I didn’t realize these things could be so fun! I mean, don’t tell my mom and stepmom, but their wedding was so BORING compared to this one!”

Piper was minding her own business dancing while she waited for her dance partner to return back with her drink. She had made the right decision to come to the wedding dateless, as soon as she arrived she made her way around all the single people but none of them had held her interest too long. She didn't mind she was having a good time either way but her last dance partner dropped her drink before offering to get her another yet that had been like three songs ago. Piper was wondering where he had gone before hearing someone scream near her, she noticed it was one of the Arendelle twins. "Dude, I can't even agree or disagree with that since I was too wasted to even care but aren't you supposed to like be super supportive of it since it was your mom's wedding? or some shit?" Piper asked while she laugh while she continued to dance around not caring that her dance partner might not come back she'll just have to find another one.

If you could have any date to the wedding, no repercussions or questions asked, who would it be?

Aww bud, if I didn’t think having a date was so lame I would so have asked you. oh! I got an idea! How about I be your wingwoman! or game master. Let me just help you get laid or a date or a dance partner, whatever you need.
