“Speaking of nuts, mine hurts too,” Michael said, almost choking trying to stop the laughter. ‘What in the hell did we do yesterday?”

“We stole a monkey and took it to an all you can eat buffet. I did a striptease act at a fetish strip club, and if I’m not mistaken, I bought the ball tickling, ass crack vibrating chair,” he said. “I think you bought one too.”

They started to laugh and stopped due to the thumping pain in their heads. Both groaning and curling up into balls, facing opposite of each other.

“Hey Mike,” Scott said softly.

“Yeah?”

“Thanks.”

“For what, getting us both drunk and making complete asses out of ourselves?”

“Yep. It was the best day I have had in a long time,” Scott mumbled.

“Whatever. Just don’t tell anyone I was jacked off by a chair, am lying in bed with you or that whole I love you thing,” Michael said.

“The last part is okay by me because I love you too man,” Scott said.

“Whatever. Just promise me you are going to take good care of my sister.”

“I promise,” Scott said, turning his head slightly to the left to see his friend. “And you promise me you are going to take good care of Pip. She deserves a good life free of worrying and a good man to love her and treat her right.”

“Sure thing, but can I ask when you are planning to put a ring on my sister’s hand?”

Scott turned his head again, a smile creeping across his face. “I gave her the ring at your party, I just haven’t formally proposed. I have a three-step plan for that, but first, I am going to surprise her with a trip to Mexico after this whole Vegas thing, then we are coming back to my house, and...well, you are just going to have to wait and see.”

“I’m too drunk to complain right now about the unfairness of all of that, but I trust you,” Michael said, his eyes closing.

“Good, because all of it is going to be pretty spectacular,” he said smiling as he drifted off to sleep dreaming of the next steps in his wonderful life with a woman named Zelda.

Michael too fell into a peaceful dream of him, Pip and a little red-headed girl, with hazel eyes, and a headful of curly red hair. The smile was still plastered on his face when Zelda and Pip found the two sleeping.
