Vivian groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. She squinted as she tried to read the time on the alarm clock next to her bed. The bold red numbers glared "7:30" She rubbed the back of her neck as she sat up, groaning again as her head ached. She stumbled out of bed, making her way out of her room.

After a nice hot shower, she stood in the kitchen dressed in scrubs for her day at work at the animal clinic. The shower had helped her hangover quite a bit, and she couldn't wait to get a warm meal in her currently empty stomach. She placed several strips of bacon in a skillet while eggs began to cook in another.

She hummed a soft tune as she cooked, unaware of the presence that had entered the kitchen. The presence crept up behind her as she grabbed the now sizzling skillet full of cooked bacon and grease. She turned from the stove and was surprised to find someone behind her. The hot skillet fell to the floor as a shriek escaped her and she jumped back.

"You know, for someone who drank heavily the night before you sure don't seem very hung over," Jun said as he winced from the high-pitched scream.

"You're one sneaky bastard, Jun. No wonder you're the sniper," Vivian said with a hand over her chest, trying to calm her pounding heartbeat.

"Well, you deserve getting scared," he stated, "last night you got drunk, called me a 'lesbian biker cancer patient', and tried to molest the commander."

Vivian opened her mouth to say something, and then bit her lower lip in embarrassment. She finally let out a nervous chuckle, "Rum, you can never have just one drink, right?"

Jun raise an eyebrow and crossed his arms over his chest. Her nervous smile faded away and she sighed, "I'm sorry."

"You should be," he said sharply.

"Ouch," she said with a wince and took a step back. She looked down and rubbed the back of her head. "Well, uh," she started as she picked up the skillet, tossing it into the sink. As she picked up the bacon that had fallen, Carter and Kat entered the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Carter asked.

"You weren't the one screaming, were you Jun?" Kat questioned, obviously not noticing that Vivian was in the room as well.

"Nope! That was me," Vivian said as she stood up, catching Carter and Kat a bit off guard. She tossed the Bacon and turned to look at them.

There was a moment of silence which caused Vivian to scratch the back of her head nervously and look to the tiled floor. "So, she started awkwardly, "I suppose an apology is in order."

"Yes," Kat stated sternly.

Vivian cringed slightly at Kat's tone before speaking up, "I'm sorry I got drunk. I'm sorry about everything I did while drunk. And I'm especially sorry for groping Carter." After making her apologies she looked down to the tiled floor once more, her face red from shame and embarrassment.

"Don't let it happen again," Carter said gruffly.

"Yes sir," she said quickly, "Now, how about some breakfast?" Before they could answer she turned away from them and returned to cooking.

By 8:15 food was set before the Spartans. While she had been cooking, the rest of the Spartans in the house had come to sit patiently for breakfast to be served at the table. Vivian placed three large plates down in the center of the table, one with scrambled eggs, another with strips of bacon, and the last one with warm biscuits fresh out of the oven.

"Well, I'm off to work," Vivian said quickly as she grabbed two strips of bacon and a biscuit for herself. She grabbed her bag and hurried towards the door. While hurrying away, her sister Allison descended the stairs in nothing but a tank top and her underwear. As she got to the bottom of the stairs she paused to yawn, becoming an obstacle in Vivian's path to the front door.

"Sorry," Vivian said as she accidently bumped into her sister. Allison simply grunted and held up her middle finger to her retreating sister.

Allison immediately looked to the coffee pot for the cure she needed for her hangover. "Bitch didn't make coffee," she growled as she staggered over to the machine and hit the switch that would start the machine. "At least Aislinn set up the coffee last night," she mumbled as she impatiently watched the coffee pot fill with the warm, dark drink.

She glanced over to the table to see the spartans sitting there, plates of food in front of them. Emile was glaring at her, she didn't really know why, but then again, she really didn't care. Jun looked at her with a mixture of annoyance and disbelief, again though she didn't really care. She didn't care at all about any of the looks she was being given. Carter looked at her with annoyance, obviously aggravated at her. Jethro looked at her in disbelief, and almost as if he was trying to hide the fact he was a bit scared, although she didn't know why that was either, but still, she cared not. The only two that seemed indifferent seemed to be Kat, who ignored her completely and continued eating, and Jorge, who seemed suddenly fascinated with his food.

After a few minutes of waiting, the smell of coffee filled the kitchen and Allison was smiling while she filled her favorite cup with the rich drink. After adding her favorite creamer she turned simply to scream loudly as the hot liquid splashed onto her chest.

Her green eyes came up to glare at the person in front of her. Aislinn. "What the hell is your problem?" Allison exclaimed.

"Do you even remember what you two put me through last night!" Aislinn growled, sounding as if she wanted to do more than splash hot liquid on Allison.

"It couldn't have been that bad," she said as she turned back to pour herself another cup.

"Oh it wasn't that bad? You piss off the Spartans, especially Emile who ended up giving you a wedgie. Then you somehow magically put your lingerie in Kat's bag of clothes, which was embarrassing for not only yourself but me as well. After managing that feat you then proceeded to drink beer and after a couple of those you ended up on top of the coffee table dancing around and singing 'I'm sexy and I know it'! I had to have Jorge and Emile drag your ass to bed! While that was happening your sister got drunk, started acting weird, practically tried to seduce carter, then when he tried to help me out by taking her to bed, she then attempted to grope him! Wait a minute," Aislinn paused, looking around for the absent red head, "where is your sister?"

"No wonder she was in such a rush to get to work, she didn't wanna hear you bitch," Allison said as she sipped her coffee.

"I was wondering when the girl would snap," Emile said as he chewed his bacon.

"You have to wonder if this is the way they always act," Kat commented.

"I hope not," Carter said as he picked up his cup of coffee.

"Both of you deserve it," Aislinn said as she gritted her teeth in anger.

"Well, I don't remember a majority of what you said, but it sounds like it was a lot of fun," Allison said thoughtfully with a smile on her face.

"No, it was not fun," Aislinn glared at the woman, "And what the hell! I told you to wear some god damn clothes when we have guests staying over!"

"Oh get the fuck over-"

Allison was interrupted when Aislinn shoved a biscuit in her mouth. "Shut the fuck up!" Aislinn exclaimed. She stormed past Allison and poured herself a cup of coffee, afterward she made her way over to the table and sat down between Jun and Kat.

Allison glared at the woman until a whimper was heard. She looked down to see Bentley sitting in front her, his leash dangling from his mouth. "Why don't you go ask Bitchpants McCrabby," she said as she stormed towards the doorway. She stopped suddenly and turned to Jethro, she grinned wickedly as she spoke, "I do remember what I told you last night. And I'm still totally up for it if you change your mind." She laughed and walked out, while a look of horror briefly graced Jethro's face. He quickly shook it off, although, just the brief moment it was there, Carter had seen.

"What in the world did she tell you?" he questioned, folding his arms over his chest as he leaned back against the chair.

"Sir, with all due respect, I don't even want to remember it much less talk about it," he said as he poked some of the egg on his plate with his fork.

Carter raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth to ask again, but Aislinn spoke up.

"It was probably something really dirty and perverted. I've been scarred for life a few times myself for some of the things she's said," she spoke, then turned to look to Bentley as he walked by the table, sulking. "I guess Vivian woke up late. Not very surprising after last night," she said mostly to herself.

"Well, I'm done eating. I could go toss a ball or something for him," Jorge said as he reached over and pet the top of Bentley's head, causing the German Shepherd to perk up, his tail wagging softly.

"Bentley would be your new best friend then. He loves fetch and tug-o-war," Aislinn said, calming down and cheering up a bit herself.

"And while he does that would you mind if I looked at the Xbox, as you call it?" Kat asked, looking to Aislinn as she made herself a plate of food.

"Yeah, we're not going to be able to use it if it's sending characters here magically somehow," Aislinn said before biting off a piece of bacon.

"There's no such thing as magic, there is always a technical solution," Kat responded as she herself bit into a biscuit.

"Well, if you can't find the reason for this, then don't look at me like I'm freakin' crazy when I start believing in magic," Aislinn replied as she continued to eat.

Author's Note: Hey! Phoenix here! I apologize for the delay. It's been quite a day for myself and my cousin Trix. We got rear-ended (somehow magically no damage to my beloved car.) and ran into quite a few people we haven't seen in a really long time. So after all that, we didn't even get back to my house until half an hour before the deadline I had set for myself. So I apologize for the delay, and bring you this chapter. The next chapter is by trix. And after a quick conference to get the story outline straightened out and updated, she'll probably have the story ready for you all as soon as she can with her schedule permitting.

Hope you enjoyed it!
