Rabbit Hole Carnival: What Ladies Night?

“Boys?” Renee said. “Not here to kick you out. Just you have other anything, and it’s an experiment we're doing—”

“You’re name miss?” Cole asked.

“Renee. Renee Shem." Renee replied.

“Well miss Shem. myself, being Blake, and Cole here apologies.” Blake said. “But our buddy Collin has stood up for a few hours now. And we can’t have a wild man down, like this.” 

You’re the charmer then, ey?” Renee said. “Well before the orders gets rough,what can I get you boys?”

“Double mixed festival.” Cole replied.

“A White Owl.” Blake said. “And bring us a…Homesick for our birthday boy will you?”
“I’m sorry what?!” a girl asked.

“Ladies we be no trouble at all, we just—” Cole said.

“You misunderstand.” Ruby replied. “Emma will not stand for sad birthdays.” 

“It’s quite literally her blood.” Wiz replied. “And I, Emma, and Ruby here. Are here for a rather big celebration. 

“Which you book this whole place for, Ruby.” Renee said.

“Which would mean I'm in charge of who stays and goes.” Ruby said. “And if I recall, I pay a rather large amount?”

“Specifically, because this might happen.” Nick replied. “I left supplies out, Renee. There’s a few Five Hunters in the cooler if needed.”

“We’re good, daddy, but thanks for checking. We’re not going to need them.” Renee said. “Anyone else joining?”

“Ladies first." Wix said. “I take my usual, and.. Cole was it?”

“So you must be the b-day boy?” Emma leaned into him. Your name is ?”

“A-a-ron.” He blushed. “Most people call me Ace.

“Well Ace~” Emma replied, “Why is your birthday sad? Hmm?”

“Some date stood him up. No Idea why. Frankly one the most gentle we ever get around here. Loves to  make others laugh. Always around if you need a ride home.” Renee replied.

“Renee? why do I feel like you’re not on my side right now?” Ace asked.

“Probably has something to do with me listing everything about you that would drive Emma wild.” Renee said while walking away. “Good luck~ You’ll need it.”

“So you’re the brains then…. You know I’ve been working completing pi~” Ruby said
“Who am I to refuse such an offer?” Blake replied.

“No refund, so make the most of it!” Renee replied. Watching them all go into various private rooms. Only to sigh after checking her phone. Two texts, one Cel and one from Susie. A simple apology that couldn’t make it.

Renee started a group chat. “Hi..” She texted

“What’s wrong?” Cel texted back. “Close the whole place next Friday. We’ll be there”

“Wait, Cel not there either? We are so doing next Friday!” Susie replied.

“So what they didn’t show?” Cel asked.

“They did.” Renee replied. “And found their boys.”

We are doing next Friday, period. End of discussion.” Both girls texted at the exact same time. 

Renee couldn’t help but laugh. “Okay, but if one of you wants to bring the boy of my dreams? I wouldn’t object~”
