Thanks so much for the awesome reviews!

Hummerhome, Nevada
 
Katie: Okay, with you in this costume, no one will ever recognize you in Vegas.
 
Delko: You really think I'm a blonde?
 
Katie: Oh definitely. Now, your new drag name is Delfina. Carly, get the lipstick.
 
Carly: *hands over lipstick*
Delko: It's blue.
 
Katie: It's part of the image.
 
Delko: But won't this make me more noticable?
 
Katie: Yeah as your common Vegas freak, not Eric Delko. The cops won't even know.
 
Speed: Maybe we should give him some breasts.
 
Delko: *frowns*
 
Katie: YAY! I have some socks in my suitcase! Speed, help me get the dresses! *runs away*
Speed: *walks away*
 
Anni: *straightens out wig* You look beautiful.
 
Delko: I'd better be a very rich man by the end of the night. 
 
Anni: This is what you get for being banned from Vegas. 
 
Bedroom
 
Katie: *throwing dresses* I 
know I put those extra large socks somewhere. OH and the giant bra, too.
 
Speed: Why did you think to bring these things?
 
Katie: H said we were coming here. I couldn't leave without all my costumes.
 
Speed: ...What exactly did you think we'd be 
doing?
 
Katie: *smiles, stands straight* That's the beauty of it. Anything can happen. OOH maybe I'll even get married!
 
Speed: I don't think Vegas would be the right backdrop.
 
Katie: *smile fades* What, you don't think I could get married, even 
here?
 
Speed: No, that's not what I mean. You should marry someone you love, not the first drunken guy that happens to smile your way. 
 
Katie: *smirks* Y'know...that's kind of sweet.
 
Speed: I know I make fun of you a lot but in all seriousness...any guy would be lucky to have you. 
 
Katie: Thanks.
 
Speed: *nods*
 
Katie: *hugs Speed*
 
Speed: *lifts brow, wraps arms around Katie*
 
Katie: ...We had a lot of good times together.
 
Speed: We did.
 
Katie: Remember when Holly was 4 and we took her camping...we were going to make smores so you and I, I think went to go get napkins or something but when we came back, she had stuffed everything in her mouth? *smiles* We must have laughed for an hour. *laughs* And then we spent another, cleaning her up.
 
Speed: *smirks*
 
Katie: *sigh* And there was that one night at home when we were watching that movie with Holly and even 
Lori came downstairs to sit with us. 
 
Speed: I remember. She actually smiled for once. 
 
Katie: Well, that's because she was making killer shots for your face with popcorn and Holly started to find that very amusing.
Speed: It took me what, 3 hours to get all the salt out of my eye?
 
Katie: *smiles* 3 and a half, maybe.
 
Speed: *nods*
 
Katie: Well anyway...as it stands, I'd much rather dwell on the good.
 
Speed: Not that you'd ever let me forget the bad.
 
Katie: *lets go* Why don't we just have a truce.
 
Speed: A truce.
 
Katie: Yeah. Let's just get along, once and for all. 
 
Speed: You realize that only works for about a week.
 
Katie: Well I want to make it work longer. Remember, I'm trying to better myself.
 
Speed: Right. Well, I hope we can get along. *grabs dresses* Now let's go dress Eric in drag.
 
Katie: *smiles* I'll get the pumps.
 
Vegas, street
 
Delko: *wobbles* I don't like these shoes.
 
Ryan: You look fine.
 
Delko: *looks over* What's with the bandage?
Ryan: Bear attack.
 
Delko: Oh. How'd you fend it off?
 
Ryan: I threw the GPS at it and ran like hell.
 
Delko: Well I can tell you for certain, walking in heels is harder than running away from a hungry bear.
 
Ryan: What are we supposed to be doing anyway? I want to gamble.
 
Delko: You're not allowed to gamble. Apparently you have some sort of addiction.
 
Ryan: Do not.
 
Delko: Do too. 
 
Ryan: *slaps Eric's boob* Do not.
 
Delko: HEY! *covers chest* Watch the twins.
 
Ryan: They're socks.
 
Delko: Shh they can hear you.
 
Ryan: *rolls eyes*
 
Casino
 
Anni: BIG MONEY! *throws dice*
 
Speed: You're enjoying this a little too much.
 
Anni: Shut up, I want to buy a new vacuum cleaner.
 
Dealer: Snake eyes.
 
Anni: DAMNIT. *looks at Speed* Give me 300 dollars.
 
Speed: What for?
 
Anni: So I can win our money back.
Speed: *frowns* Anni, you suck at gambling. I'm not going to give you a 
penny, let alone-
 
Anni: I GOT HIS WALLET! *holds up wallet*
 
People cheer
 
Speed: *sighs, grabs wallet*
 
Anni: Hey.
 
Speed: Let alone 300 dollars. If you want to gamble, at least play a game you're good at.
 
Anni: Blackjack, here I come. *snatches wallet* I'm only going to take 50, I swear.
 
Speed: How many 50s?
 
Anni: *smiles* Cute. Why don't you go get us a room.
 
Speed: I already did. 
 
Anni: Is it big? Does it have a whirlpool? Does it have robes? *gasp* DO WE HAVE A VIEW?
 
Speed: *smirks* It has everything.
Anni: Excellent. 
 
Speed: The only downside is we have to share.
 
Anni: *smile fades* ...With who.
 
Speed: Katie and Carly.
 
Anni: What for?
 
Speed: Horatio only gave us so much. And it's not like we're the only ones relegated to sharing a room. Colton, Eric and Ryan have to share one and Horatio, Calleigh and Heather have to share another. 
 
Anni: What about Lora?
 
Speed: She doesn't like casinos so she's playing video games in the Hummerhome. She's being a bit anti-social.
 
Anni: Well...I guess it won't be that bad. We came on this trip to spend time with our friends, right? 
 
Speed: Yep.
Anni: Then that's what we'll do. 
 
Bedroom
 
Carly: Let's set a few ground rules. Firstly, we're not flooding their room with mustard and secondly, we're getting earplugs.
 
Katie: I think we should bunk with H and Calleigh.
 
Carly: What for?
 
Katie: This place could be really romantic. I think Anni and Tim deserve the room to themselves.
 
Carly: *lifts brow* Are you on drugs?
 
Katie: We don't come here very often and it's not like they have the funds for a vacation getaway. This could be the last time they have the chance to really be alone until their kid gets older.
 
Carly: ...You 
are on drugs.
 
Katie: I'm not on drugs. *grabs Carly's arm* Let's go.
