was unoccupied. Most of the patrons were sitting in the bar area so most of the tables were empty in the karaoke area.
    “So, how do you like Megan?” Julie asked as they sat down at the table.
    Shannon spun her head around and looked at Julie, trying to figure out exactly what she meant by that. Did she know something? There was no way she could, Shannon thought, so she answered the same as anyone would.
    “She is a really nice girl, which isn’t a surprise. I knew you wouldn’t be good friends with someone that I disliked.”
    Julie and Shannon were so similar that this proved true almost one-hundred percent of the time. People usually gave the two of them the same first impression and judged the same from that point on. They were best friends for many reasons, and this was one of them. It was easy to be friends with someone that liked what you did and disliked almost all of the same things as well.
    “Hey girls! Can you give me a hand?”
    Megan had a tray, loaded with mixed drinks and shots, heading her way through the crowd. Shannon got up and took a couple of the drinks off the tray to make it easier for Megan to handle. She sat the tray down in the center of the table and chuckled quietly.
    “This should keep us busy for a little bit,” she said. “Next round is on Julie.”
    “With all you bought, there may not be a second round,” Julie said jokingly, knowing that this was just the start to the night.
    It was nearing midnight and the girls had already taken down most of the alcohol on the tray that Megan had brought over to the table.
    “Have you found anyone that looks like your type so far?” Shannon asked Julie, knowing she had been looking around since the moment they walked into the bar. Julie was known to find someone for one night, take them home, and never speak to them again after waking up the following day.
    “Not yet, but the night is still young.” she said, smirking innocently.
    The clock struck twelve, and just as promised, the lights dimmed and a DJ got up on stage, ready to give the bar a whole different vibe. The girls were excited, knowing this was more of their scene now. When the music dropped, all three of them hopped out of their seats and made their way to the dance floor. They all started off dancing with each other before Julie quickly branched out to find a man for later.
    Megan hugged Shannon from behind and leaned in as she whispered, “Let’s have some fun now.”
    She put her arms around Shannon’s waist and pushed herself into her, working her hands between her legs and kissing the back of her neck. As the music got heavier, the two girls lost within it, blocked out everything that was going on around on them. Their hands were all over each other’s sweaty bodies, in sync with every move made by the other. They barely had enough will power to separate when they caught Julie walking toward them.
    “Hope you girls are having more fun than I am,” she said as she reached them. “I can’t find anyone in this place that is remotely interesting.”
    Megan knew of another place down the street that might cater to Julie’s endeavor a little more as it was normally crawling with guys looking for a date for the night.
    “Let’s move to the next place then,” Megan said. “It’s only a block away and you should be able to find what you are looking for Julie.”
    They walked out of the bar and turned left, heading down the main strip of the busy night in Ann Arbor.
    As they walked into the next bar, Shannon and Julie both saw what she was talking about almost instantly. It was full of men and women alike, all college aged and dressed much nicer than the bar before.
    “Oh yes, this is what I needed,” said Julie as she pulled the other girls by the hands toward the bar.
    “Three shots of tequila!” she said, ready to get the night going a little quicker.
    The girls downed the drinks quickly and head out to dance the night away again. Julie disappeared almost
