the san francisco nightlife was something that marjorie instantly fell in love with when coming to college. the town came alive at night. the bars and clubs gained a life of their own and new characters came out of the wood works. the party life was something that was more of mj's style in france but she couldn't help but hit the san francisco city. the crisp air hit her face and caused her cheeks to turn a rosy red. a nice bar and a cup of straight vodka would do the trick to heat her up. she just had to know her limits.

majorie tightened her peacoat around her and it's wool protected her from some of the wind. her hard sole shoes hit against the cement making a quiet clanky noise. she quickened her pace as the cold wind continued to whip her hair away and make her internal temperature drop. it wasn't that it was cold outside by anyone else's standards, just that mj was extremely thin and frail. the cold effected her more than other people.

the first bar she went saw she went inside of. she didn't look at the bar and didn't give a damn what kind of bar it was. she found company wherever she went. the bar had a buzz of noise that was full of chatter, glasses clanking, people coughing, and drinks being pouring. no specific conversation could be pulled out of the loud room. it was simply incomprehensible background noise.

her red hair had a tendency to fall in front of her eyes and mj tucked it behind her ear out of habit despite the fact it never stayed there. she took a scan of the bar, looking for familiar places, and when she saw none she approached the bar. the bar was a risky place for marjorie to be at not only did she have past partying and alcohol problems but she was underage. the majority of the time she would flirt the bartender into looking past her fake id and just giving her the alcohol. as mj sat on the wooden barstool, she was unsure if she would be able to do the whole flirting shenanigans with the female bartender before her. it wouldn't stop her from trying though. mj grabbed the obviously fake id out of her leather wallet and placed it on the bar before her. she called out her order of an appletini to the bartender, trying to get the young woman's attention, hoping she either won't notice the date on the card or wouldn't care. mj bit her lip in anticipation.

[ACE D. PORTAGAS]

Ace walked into her home after she finished with her university and walked to her garage as she unlocked the lock and walked in and looked at her punching bag was getting warn down "I guess that you are not going to last for much longer my dear friend" Ace thought as she slid on her punching gloves started to punch the punching bag "One...two...three" Ace said as she counted how many punches she was doing on the punching bag. Ace loved to work out as it reminded her of her past when she got into fights loads.

Ace stopped when she did fifty punches all together and walked into her house as she fell back onto her bed not really caring about anything any more as she was slowly forgetting her worries but then she saw she had a missed message on her phone so she played it. It was of her boss who was asking her to come into work tonight as the person who's shift it is normally is ill. "This is such a drag" Ace thought as she dialed in the number for her work "Hey it is Ace, sure I will work later" Ace said as she hanged up.

Ace walked over to her closet as she got changed into blue jeans, blue boots and orange top. Ace picked up her wallet and keys as she walked out of the house and made her way to the bar. When Ace arrived there it was busy so she went behind the bar and started to serve people like she all ways did. Ace walked over to Marjorie as she was trying to get her attention "You know all you can get here are soft drinks Marjorie since I know your real age" Ace said as she picked up Marjorie's fake ID and looked at it.

marjorie hadn't noticed that the bartender was her acquaintance and friend ace when she had ordered her drink. when she had walked into the bar, she wasn't even aware that the bar was the one that dear ace worked at. mj's lips went from the smile they were in to a scowl and then back to a smirk. was she happy to see ace? sure. was she pissed ace was busting her chops? no. "come on, acey. you know that you could let it slid." mj leaned forward a bit over the bar making herself closer to ace. "are you afraid of corrupting me? because I can assure you this is not my first time drinking. and if it's your job," mj dropped her voice down to a whisper, "i won't tell." the smirk upon her face widened as she waited for ace to either continue in insisting on her getting a soda pop or for ace to give in and give her her appletini.

a large group of frat boys came into the bar increasing the noise level by several decibels. the place was booming and mj almost felt bad for ace having to work there. marjorie had always been lucky enough not to have to work a day in her life. she eased off of the bar and began to twirl her barstool around, letting her legs dangle. she looked like a drunken little girl even though she hadn't had a sip to drink all night. she was just pure silly. as she continued to swivel on her seat, her bright red hair fell in front of her eyes. marjorie only stopped her spinning when she couldn't see due to her hair and some vertigo. she pushed her hair behind her ear and looked back up to ace. "acey, how you been doing, hun?"

[ACE D. PORTAGAS]

"I know that I could not corrupt you as it will most likely be you who corrupts me" Ace said as she looked at the other bartender that was closest to them. The other bartender just smirked at Ace as if he was daring Ace to give the drink to Marjorie even though she knows she is under age. Ace wasn't exactly sure why she wouldn't give the drink to Marjorie if it was because of her job or if she didn't want her friend to be taken advantage of when she is drunk. She didn't really care about her job as if she wanted to she could buy the bar.

Ace walked down the bar serving the other customers who where legal as she thought about if she would actually sell the alcohol to Marjorie or not. When she came back to Marjorie she made the drink for her anyway "I am doing fine, it is annoying though that I have to work though. What are you doing later then" Ace asked with a slight flirtation in her voice as she does find Marjorie attractive but wasn't sure how she felt about her.

Ace put the drink down in front of Marjorie and looked at Marjorie from head to toe well as far to the toe as Ace could see over the counter. "You look nice today you know that Marjorie" Ace said smiling at her.

the other bartender noted the banter between ace and mj but didn't seem to give a damn. it was obvious that mj was underage and if he really wanted to bust either of them he would have by that time. mj smiled at him as she continued her conversation with ace. she couldn't help but bust out in a laugh when ace said marjorie would most likely be the one to corrupt her. "so, true. you know me too well, ace." she looked down at the bar in front of her and smiled as ace. "although, i'd only corrupt you if you wanted me to."

the idea of work was something marjorie associated with much stress and pain but she would also love to have a job. she would only be doing it for the experience. her daddy took care of all her money issues. ace looked genuinely annoyed with her job but she must enjoy some part of it if she kept coming back mj reasoned. "later.." mj said dragging out the word, "i'm completely free. although i might be a little inebriated mj raised her glass to ace before she took a sip. "thanks, you are a doll." she looked around the noise bar, to the other bartender, and then back to ace. "you should join me for a drink once you get off work."

compliments were something that she was never sure how to take. a small blush came across mj's cheeks and she smiled widely. "oh, ace. i never look as gorgeous as you. even amongst all these people, you are the only person i see." marjorie had a knack for cheesy lines but she truly meant it. ace was gorgeous to mj. she couldn't help but keep her eyes or attention off her.

[ACE D. PORTAGAS]

"We will have to go some where more in private so you do not get charged with anything like for drinking under age. But where can we go where we will not be disturbed and where we can drink until our hearts contends" Ace said thinking about where they could go but she was more thinking of if drinking was the only thing they will be doing.

"Well there is always one of our places but then what will our parents say when they walk in on us drinking when you are under age, they will most likely blame me for being a bad influence on you." Ace said as she made her a coke as there wasn't anyone at the bar waiting to be served. "We could all ways stay at the Portagas Hotel down the street from here. I could get us a night in a exclusive room in there with room service and everything included. But what exactly will we be doing later" Ace said as she took a sip of her drink as she stared into Marjorie eyes as she always couldn't be tempted with Marjorie when all she would have to do is to get her to stare into Marjorie's eyes and she would do most things with her.

"don't worry about parentals, ace. my mother and father are millions of miles away in france. i have a my own dorm room." speaking of her parents was something she never did. she and her siblings essentially raised herself after they got to a certain age. there father was always off on "business" and their mother was preoccupied with appletinis and her social status. "we can always go there, but a hotel room sounds nice. it's more, private." the ideas of ace and marjorie together flashed through mj's head. her imagination was exciting and always made things out to be million times better then they ended up being. some part of mj knew her fantasies with ace would be good as imagined.

"what do you want to do later?" marjorie asked provocatively and smiled a full flirtatious smile. a promiscuous mj was usually up for anything and wasn't quite known for being the most reserved of girls. she took a good long sip of her appletini and stared back into ace's eyes. she hadn't taken her eyes off the beautiful brown-eyed girl across from her in a good two minutes. she was memorized in the moment.

[ACE D. PORTAGAS]

"I know that your parents are miles away but people could tell them if they see something that happens between the two of us they could report it to your parents and then they could make you live with the. I do have a break in a bit so I could have a few drinks with you during my break. I do need to use the toilet in a bit so maybe you could keep me company in there as I will get lonely with out you or someone else not being there" Ace said as the truth was she wanted to find out if Marjorie was a good kisser or not because if she was they would have a awesome time in the hotel room but if she wasn't a good kisser they would only drink in the hotel room.

"Of course the hotel room is more secretive as I am a part owner of it so we can stay in there with out paying and plus they won't tell my mum when I take someone to the room as I could just fire them. I don't really know what I want to do with you in the room but I do have some ideas like, drinking games, chatting, using the bed to make love, using the room service to order more alcohol and food when we get hungry" Ace said.

Ace has been wondering if she wanted to sleep with her or not as it does seem like there are some attraction between the two of them as they are still staring into each others eyes even after a few minutes of doing it. Ace bit her bottom lip as she took a sip of her drink not really sure what to say
