With nothing else left to do around the house, Nora had optioned for going to the local bar to hang out. Wasn't it a coincidence that they were having some sort of veteran karaoke night thing? And free alcohol for anybody currently in the service. So, yeah, it was no surprise that Nora was drunk about two hours after she had entered the bar.

When they first called out for people to start doing some karaoke, Nora had said now. But then she had been sober. Now that she was drunk, she wanted to do the karaoke. She was going to do some country; she just wasn't sure what song yet. After browsing through the selections they had, Nora finally decided on a song by Toby Keith. They put it on, and she stood on the stage, waiting for the music to start.

"American girls and american guys...we'll always stand up and salute, we'll always recognize when we see old glory flying. There's a lot of men dead so we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our head."

Nora's voice was melodic and pretty. She was even surprised at how good it sounded. She wasn't worried about the crowd...they were all staring up at her in awe. She smiled and continued singing, moving to the beat and loving the spotlight.

"'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass, it's the American way." A loud chorus of whoops and hollers rang through the bar, and Nora smiled. Finally, the song was over. But she continued to stay on the stage. Speech time.

"You know, that song goes out to all my fellow soldiers. We're over there kicking ass so all you civilians can stay safe. So you better appreciate us. Never take life for granted."

Nora laughed and handed the microphone back to the stage dude. She stepped down and was instantly surrounded by a crowd of guys. They all offered to buy her a beer. She denied, but they still never left. She managed to make it back to the bar where her seat was so that she could sit down.

"Enjoying the drinks?" Walter said as he came down to the end of the bar where Nora was, he wasn't technically military any more so he didn't get the free drinks, but he really didn't care and watching Nora sing was pretty fun as is. "Not too bad, now I'm not American Idol judge but," he did his best Simon impression that came out just a bit gay, "I think that we thee worst rendition of that song I have ever heard, what with you yanks rebelling and such and such." He laughed and tapped the guy on the shoulder in the seat next to her. His eyes that had formerly been looking her up and down bulged and he jetted from the seat.

"Watch yourself tonight, probably have some creeps about." He added as he took the seat. "Havnt talked to you in a couple weeks, I've been a bit busy." He ordered a screwdriver and downed it quickly.

Nora was sort of surprised to see Walter there. But nonetheless, she was glad to see him. "Simon, you're such a douche."

She laughed. Her head was fuzzy from so much drinking. "I'm sure I can take care of myself," she said, downing a whiskey. She watched him drink the screwdriver.

"Someone's thirsty, eh?" Nora smiled. "Whatcha been up to? Besides saving the world and all that."

"Still on stand bye, well, aside from someone taking the slide of a glock to the domepiece," he shrugged, "Aaand my girl is walking around here somewhere." He looked around trying to figure out where Ree had gone off too, gave up and ordered another screwdriver.

Ree had managed to loose Walter in the crowd in between going to the loo and heading towards the bar, with a sigh she smoothed out the little black dress she had opted on for that night, it was just enough for the bar they had decided on. She finally spotted him talking to a pretty little blonde thing at the bar. With a smile she headed towards him.

"Hey"She sighed sliding into a seat behind him, dropping him a kiss. "Sorry got lost in the crowd"

Nora was slightly disappointed to hear that he had a girlfriend. But her face didn't show it. Being in the US Army Special Forces taught you how to lie and how to lie well. Nora only smiled at him and downed another whiskey.

"She's a lucky girl..." Nora looked around. There were plenty of guys around, but none of them seemed interesting enough. She sighed and ran her hand through her blonde hair. She hummed to the tune of a Lady Antebellum song that she had stuck in her head.

Nora looked at the newcomer. She was beautiful. She extended her hand and said, "Nora Vitetta. It's a pleasure."

Ree smiled over at the other woman "Ree"She stated, she gave her a tight smile and quickly ordered herself a orange juice, downside of being in the public eye, and a fighter, alchol just didnt mix. She turned her gaze back to Nora assessing her for a moment before letting it go. "So how do you guys know each other"She questioned with a slightly raised brow.

"Mr. J to the front, you aaaaaaaare on!" The loud hailer called out.

"Ladies, I'm up it seems. Tell me what you think when I get back." He stood up and turned giving Ree a quick peck on the cheek before he disappeared into the crowd. Shortly there after he started.

"She loves to dance, she loves to sing, she does everything. She loves to move she loves to groove, she loves everything. All night all night oh every night! So hold tight hold tight baby hold tight. Everything you want it that's the way you need it anyway you want it!" He belted out the Rise Against version loudly.
