“Who are you?” asked the bride.

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

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

The bride looked down at her white monokini. The neckline went all the way down to her bellybutton. “I still can’t believe he picked these 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. “You look hella hot.”

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

“And I dare say I’m doing an excellent job,” said the redhead. “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 coffee table. She looked so excited to play.

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

“I wish,” said one of the girls. “But Autumn promised the groom 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 with Ash and Slavanka and emptied the duffel bag. Some multicolored gel bracelets fell out, along with a few other things I needed. At the last minute I’d remembered Single Girl Rule #5: Have wine in your purse at all times. But Ash preferred banana juice to wine, so I’d brought six bottles of that instead. And the duffel bag was basically a giant purse.

“Heads up,” said Teddybear into my earpiece. “Guards just started searching 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 coming up. And we were woefully unprepared. Teddybear needed to get that picture uploaded. And I needed to get these girls in the mood to party. If the guards showed 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 was determined 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 this party 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 Trivial Pursuit 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 of us were on the couch, some of us were on chairs, and a few unlucky girls got stuck on the floor.

“In order for me to do my job, I need to get to know all of you. I wanna know your name, your relation to the bride, your number, and a never-have-I-ever style fact about yourself. I’ll go first.” I grabbed a shot glass and stood up. “I’m Charlotte. I’m the bride’s official bachelorette party MC. I’ve been with nine guys. And…” I looked around at the bridesmaids to see what would give me some helpful info. “Never have I ever been married.”

Autumn was the only girl to take a shot. That meant she was the only one who was married. Which made sense, because she was thematronof honor.

I sat down and Slavanka stood up.

“I Svetlana…”
