"Pipes, if we don't leave now, it's gonna be a while before the next DD shows up!" Polly shouted from the other side of the bathroom door.

"Just a sec!" Piper shouted back, looking at her costume in the mirror. Larry had told her to wear something sexy, but now she was wondering if it was too sexy.

"That's what you've been saying for the past hour!" The brunette's voice rang through the door again.

Piper rolled her eyes; her friend was never one for being patient. She stared at her reflection, at the stereotypical nurse outfit and blew air up at the hair that had fallen out of the bun she had made. Picking up her bag, the blonde unlocked the bathroom door and almost collided with a half-buzzed Polly who was dressed as a cat.

"Really, a fucking cat?" Piper questioned as she steadied the wavering girl in front of her.

"You should talk, what are you? A slutty nurse, how original." Polly slurred slightly.

Piper shook her head, "How much have you had? You're going to be off your face by the time we get to the party."

Polly waved her hand, dismissing what the blonde had said and led them out of the dorms and into an awaiting car that was hired to take them to the house that the party was taking place.

"How are you tonight ladies?" asked the driver in a thick Australian accent.

Piper rolled her eyes as she saw Polly's face light up, "We're doing just fine sugar, how are you doing?"

Typical, when under the influence, the small brunette would get over the top sleazy.

"I'm doing great, I get to drive this beautiful woman around tonight." The man replied.

Piper made a gagging noise as Polly asked for the guy's name.

"I'm Pete, and you are?"

"I'm Polly, and this is my lovely friend Piper."

"I'll see you later Pete-y boy." Polly said, leaning into the passenger window. Piper had to drag her away and into the house.

"I'm going to go find Larry; you think you can handle yourself for a little while?" Piper asked as she looked around the room at all of the people dancing and drinking.

"Don't worry, I'm practically taken now." Polly said excitedly as she held up 'Pete-y boy's number.

Piper smiled at her friend before turning and heading into the kitchen where she could grab a drink, and then hopefully find Larry. She didn't even know what he was dressed as, and to be quite frank, she wasn't too sure as to why she was giving him the time of day. They weren't dating; they weren't even seeing each other. They were just friends, if that, and Larry obviously thought he had more of a chance than he actually did.

Larry was the type of guy that you could sit down and have a beer with, to joke around with, but the rest of the time he just made most people want to suffocate themselves with a pillow, Piper being one of those people. The only reason Piper even humored him was because he had been Polly's friend since high school, meaning he had seniority. Piper had only met Polly freshman year of college.

The blonde made her way over to the various coolers that lined the walls and grabbed a beer. She turned around, looking for a bottle opener. There were a lot of people at this party, she wasn't even sure if it was considered a college party. It was off campus, and she was pretty sure the owner wasn't a student, who that person was, Piper had no idea.

"Need help?" She heard someone ask.

Piper turned to see a woman shorter than her, with bushy red hair, and dressed as the Joker from Batman.

"Please." Piper said.

The woman continued to grin at her, holding out a hand to take Piper's beer from her and popping the cap with a bottle opener.

"Thanks!" Piper yelled over the pulsing music that had just been turned up even more.

The red head grinned even wider, yelling back, "Don't sweat it blondie!"

Piper nodded, not knowing what else to say as the woman continued to stare at her.

"You know, your costume is totally matching my friend's tonight!"

The blonde raised a brow, who was her friend?

"Oh yeah?"

The red head nodded, "Yeah, she's in charge of this shindig!"

Piper nodded, "What's your name?"

"Nicky."

"Piper."

"Well Piper, before I can have you meeting my friend, do you like pipe as your name assumes, or are you more of a pussy kind of girl?"

"Well my friend did come with me dressed as a cat so…" Piper joked, was this woman serious?

Nicky chuckled, "Well, that wasn't exactly the answer I was looking for, but I guess Alex enjoys a challenge."

"Hey Nichols, harassing anyone worth talking to?" said a husky tone from behind Piper.

Piper spun around on her heel to put a face to that dripping with sex voice.

Green eyes settled on blue, before they continued to make their way up and down the blonde's body, clearly liking what they saw.

"Vause, I was just talking about you!" Nicky said.

The tall brunette grinned, straightening out the thick framed glasses on her nose, "All good things I hope."

Nicky guffawed, "You wish."

"You must be Alex then." Piper said, her throat suddenly thick, and her voice scratchy.

The taller woman nodded, a brow raised in interest, a smirk gracing her full red lips. "Guilty as charged and you are?"

Piper gulped, finally taking in more than just Alex's face, as her eyes traveled down the woman's shapely figure, her full breasts, and protruding hips that any woman in their right mind would die to have. Her long legs were captured in skin-tight leather pants, a white lab coat hung loosely over her broad shoulders, a stethoscope around her neck.

"Piper." She finally urged herself to say, but her name sounded wrong on her tongue.

Alex smiled warmly at her, "Well Piper, we probably should have told each other that we were going to match, now everyone's going to think we're a couple."

Piper grinned, "We just met Ms. Vause, I don't think we could've planned it."

Alex's smirk grew into a grin, "Well it's a good thing we know each other now, it would be a shame to let these outfits go to waste. What do you say Piper, you up for a little operation?"

"Piper, there you are!"

Piper groaned when she heard the voice, "Larry."

He was standing in the door way to the kitchen, which had grown empty since Piper had met Alex, even Nicky was gone.

"What are you doing in here? The party's out there!" Larry said, smiling at her, or more so at her chest.

Piper scoffed, crossing her arms, not realizing that she was just putting even more emphasis on her tits. "I was just talking to the host." She turned to look at the brunette, "Alex, this is Larry."

Larry waved, making his way over to Piper and wrapping his arm around her waist.

Piper rolled her eyes at his touch.

Alex raised a brow once more at the affection that the man was giving the blonde.

Piper met her eyes and shook her head slightly, a smile playing at her lips.

"Well Barry, help yourself to a drink, I'm going to go check on everything, make sure Nicky hasn't changed the music to some shitty rap."

Piper frowned at the taller woman's receding back as she heard Larry shout after her, "It's Larry!"

Piper rolled her eyes, pulling herself out of the man's touch and shoved him slightly, "What the fuck Larry?"

"You look hot Pipes." He said, looking her up and down once more, making her skin crawl. When Alex had done it, she hadn't felt like a piece of meat, she had felt hot under the woman's gaze.

Piper gulped down the rest of her beer, setting it down on an empty space on the crowded countertop and headed out to find Polly, but she felt Larry's grip on her wrist pull her back to him.

"Where are you going? We were supposed to hangout." He said, beginning to sound a bit whiney.

Piper shook her head, Larry was dressed as Darth Vader, making it even easier for her to say, "No we weren't."

Piper found Polly asleep on the stairs, her face pressed into the bannister. Piper couldn't help but burst out laughing. Typical Polly, she got drunk, got sleazy, and then got sleepy.

Piper lifted the brunette up by her armpits, and tried to set her down onto her feet, but Polly groaned instead, wrapping her arms around the blonde's neck and clung to her.

"You weren't kidding, I knew I caught some Sapphic vibes off of you earlier." Nicky said from behind Piper.

Piper nearly fell over as she glared at Nicky, "I like hot people, what I don't like are labels, and people that feel the need to check me into a box."

The red head raised her hands in surrender, "Hey, I'm just trying to make small talk, need help?"

Piper sighed heavily, nodding reluctantly.

"There's a spare bedroom upstairs, we can put her up there." Nicky said, reaching out to pry Polly off of Piper, and together they helped the intoxicated woman upstairs and onto a bed, in what Nicky said was the guest room.

"Well, that's enough charity for one day." Nicky said as she began to back out of the room.

"Hey Nicky, wait." Piper said, standing up from where she was kneeling beside the bed that Polly was currently sprawled out on.

"Thanks."

Nicky nodded, "Don't worry about it, it's not too often you find someone decent enough to get a drunk girl to bed instead of into it ya know?"

Piper nodded, "Yeah."

Nicky turned to leave when Piper called out for her again.

"For fucks sake blondie, you haven't drank nearly enough." Nicky said with a roll of her eyes.

The blonde chuckled, "Do you know where Alex is?"

Nicky raised a brow, shocked, "You know, I was just joking earlier, but I did feel something back there in the kitchen, and I was a fucking bystander."

Piper waited for the red head to answer her question.

"Last I saw her, she had gone down to her room, said she needed to get away from the noise of everything for a while, when in reality that's her way of telling me that she's going to bed and that it's my job to clean up her party, you know, use my muscle to kick out everyone in the morning."

Piper nodded; a bit saddened at the fact that Alex had most likely gone to bed.

Nicky eyed her for a moment longer before saying, "You know, she hates being woken up, but with a hot nurse knocking on her door; I don't think she'll mind all too much. Her bedroom's the last one on the left."

"Get it the fuck together Chapman, she's just a woman, you've been with women before." Piper muttered to herself as she shut the door to the guest room, wiping her sweaty palms on her extremely short skirt, and made her way down the hall towards the sexy doctor's room.

"You had Suzanne wrapped around your finger after just looking at her last winter." Piper continued to whisper.

She came to a halt at the last door on the left and froze. What was she doing? She had only said a few words to the woman, who knew if she was even interested? Of course that was a joke though; after all, Piper did see the way the brunette had practically drooled over her earlier.

She raised her fist to meet the door, knocking on it gently three times before hearing a groggy voice shout, "Fuck off Nicky!"

Piper chuckled, "It's not Nicky!"

A moment later the door was ripped open so Piper was face to face with Alex, who had changed out of her earlier attire, and was now clothed in a black camisole and lacy black underwear, her glasses no longer adorning her face, making the green in her eyes even more dangerous to look at.

Piper nearly choked on the amount of spit her mouth was suddenly producing, it was a miracle her jaw hadn't plummeted to the floor.

Alex's lips pulled up into a lopsided smirk, a brow raised in question. "Party not treating you well?"

Piper shook her head dumbly, "No, probably because the fun had left."

The taller woman crossed her arms over her chest, proving Piper's earlier suspicion, that the brunette was in fact not wearing a bra.

"Aww, Gary left?" Alex questioned, a mysterious glint clear in her eyes.

Piper suppressed a giggled, "I wish."

"Oh, it looked like you two were pretty close earlier."

"About that-

Alex cut her off, "You don't have to explain yourself to me."

"Right, well I just wanted to tell you that my friend is sleeping off her drunkenness in your guest room."

A grin, "Is that so?"

"Yeah."

"Well, can't have you leaving her all by her lonesome, now can we? She'll be awfully confused in the morning if she wakes up and no one is here that she recognizes."

Piper nodded, "Yeah, I should probably get back to her then." She turned to leave.

Alex rolled her eyes; the blonde was clearly not picking up what she was putting down. "I didn't mean you had to share a bed with her."

"Then where should I sleep?" Piper asked, her throat dry as she suddenly realized what the older woman was doing.

"I have a few ideas." Alex said, smirking. She tugged on the blonde's arm, pulling her into the room, the door shutting behind them.
