“Hello, ladies!” I yelled as I strutted into the party.

All thirteen girls looked up at me.

“Who are you?” asked the bride.

“And why are you three dressed like us?” added the maid ofhonor in her fancy Spanish accent.

“I’m your bachelorette party MC,” I said. “And these are mylovely assistants. And we’re wearing these outfits courtesy of the bride’sloving fiancé. It’s all part of the platinum party package that he purchasedlast night. And let me be the first to say – you ladies all look stunning. Yourfiancé has great taste.”

The bride looked down at her white monokini. The necklinewent all the way down to her bellybutton. “I still can’t believe he pickedthese out. He’d usually kill me if I ever left the house dressed like this.”

“Why would he not want you to dress like that?” I asked. “Youlook hella hot.”

“He gets jealous easily. He didn’t even want me to have abachelorette party. He only agreed once he found out Autumn was planning it.” Shepointed to the redhead in the matron of honor monokini.

“And I dare say I’m doing an excellent job,” said theredhead. “Now…who’s up for another exciting game of Trivial Pursuit?”

A few of the girls groaned.

“Not again,” mumbled one of them.

I stared in horror as Ash ran over and plopped down by the coffeetable. She looked so excited to play.

Trivial Pursuit? At a bachelorette party?“What’s thetwist?” I asked. “Take a shot every time you get an answer wrong?”

“I wish,” said one of the girls. “But Autumn promised thegroom that she wouldn’t allow any drinking.”

“So there’s no alcohol here? Not even mimosas?”

“Nope,” said the bride. She sounded so sad.

No alcohol?!Dear Lord.“Well luckily for you,I brought some banana juice.”

“Banana juice?” asked the redhead. “That sounds delicious.”

“It is. You’re gonna love it.” I ran back to the bathroom withAsh and Slavanka and emptied the duffel bag. Some multicolored gel braceletsfell out, along with a few other things I needed. At the last minute I’dremembered Single Girl Rule #5: Have wine in your purse at all times. But Ashpreferred banana juice to wine, so I’d brought six bottles of that instead. Andthe duffel bag was basically a giant purse.

“Heads up,” said Teddybear into my earpiece. “Guards just startedsearching every room on your floor. They’ll be to yours soon.”

“Any luck on getting that picture uploaded?” I asked.

“Working on it.”

I took a deep breath. The riskiest part of my plan was comingup. And we were woefully unprepared. Teddybear needed to get that pictureuploaded. And I needed to get these girls in the mood to party. If the guardsshowed up before both those things happened, we’d surely be caught.

Which was fine, I guess. The auction still sounded super fun…

But now it felt personal between me and the banana king. I wasdetermined to walk out the front door of the hotel right under his nose.

I tossed two bottles to each of my girls. “Let’s get thisparty started! Oh, and when we introduce ourselves, remember to give fake names.”I grabbed the other two bottles and headed back to the party.

“Alright, ladies!” I said. “Gather round.” I shoved TrivialPursuit off the coffee table and replaced it with a tray of banana juice shots.

All the bridesmaids came over and formed a big circle. Half ofus were on the couch, some of us were on chairs, and a few unlucky girls gotstuck on the floor.
