**SafeHaven- first Bonfire after Minho proposes**

"Babe! We're gonna be late!" Alex yelled.

"Just a second!" Minho stuck his head out of the bathroom, with a grin. "Gotta look good for date night!" He winked.

Alex groaned and flopped backwards onto the bed.

"Pretty sure it's supposed to be the other way around, and your supposed to be whinning on the bed for me to hurry up."

Minho chuckled.

"Also, you always look good, and no one cares about your hair!" She whinned again.

"Done!" He finally announced, strutting from the bathroom.

He was wearing his jeans and tight black t shirt, showing off his fresh tattoo, Alex's stomach summersalted. He really did always look good...and smelt good. Shuck he was a fine piece of work.

Alex still laying sprawled on the bed, swiveled her head and frowned, "your hair looks the same. And why put so much work into it when you know I'm going to have my hands in it later?"

"Still gotta impress the woman I love." He winked.

He leaned down over top of her, his hands on either side of her hips. Alex grinned at him. He bent his elbows and kissed her quickly.

"Come on, we don't want to keep them waiting!" He teased.

Alex rolled her eyes with a smile.

Bonfire nights were a regular thing, the last Friday of each month Vince lit a huge fire and snacks and drinks were handed out. Gally had finally perfected his special secret drink. These nights were some of Alex's favorite nights, for many reasons.

Chloe and Raegan were allowed to come for part of the night, Abouelo Jorge was in charge of them, and he would bring them to his cabin for a sleepover. He volunteered for these nights every time, so Alex and Minho had a bit of a break; it was date night. And Jorge loved his sleepovers with his grand daughters, way more than wild parties.

They walked down the beach path from their cabin to the beach where the fire had already started. Minho laced his fingers  with hers and squeezed her hand tight.

"I like the white top and your hair down." Minho smirked down at her.

"Well, it's date night, Min. Gotta look good for the man I love." She chuckled, turning around and walking backwards in front of him. She held her hands out.

She was just wearing a simple v-necked white tank top that showed off her dragon tattoo and the top half of her arrow on her back and jeans, and the necklace with Minho's promise stone, white sneakers and she had let her wet hair dry naturally, so it curled around her face and shoulders.

Minho chuckled.

"I mean it's really nothing special." Alex shrugged, still walking backwards.

"Hmm I'm a man of simple taste. I'd rather see my girls' natural beauty shine." He smirked, he tried to grab her but she danced out of his reach, with a teasing grin.

"Get back here woman! Let me love you!" Minho called as Alex turned and took off down the path, laughing at him.

________________________

The fire was in full swing. There were tables of snacks and drinks, different games, and a radio was found on the main land and was blasting music.

Minho finally caught up to her. He swung a muscular arm around her shoulders and together they made their way over to Gally and grabbed a jar.

Everyone was howling with laughter.

"Hey Ace? Remember that one time when Newt and Thomas got drunk and the one and only time pissed off Vince?" Kenzie was laughing so hard tears ran down her face.

"Oooh, this is a story I need to hear!" Simon grinned, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

Gally, Sonya, Teresa, Aris, Felix and Simon crowded closer. Minho had heard this story before. Thomas and and Newt looked horrified.

Everyone else howled with laughter.

"Ooo their finest moment! The one time Vince wasn't breathing down my neck!" Alex sniggered.

"Come on! Tell us!" Teresa giggled.

"Well!" Alex started dramatically.

And she launched into a wild retelling. Much to the horror of Thomas and Newt.

** Alex threw the boys room door wide open and yelled, "Tommy! We're drinking! Come on Newtie Patootie! We're celebrating!"

"Okay, one, knock! What if one of us was changing? And two! Celebrating what?" Newt rolled his eyes.

"Okay one, I lived with 60 shanks for three months. I've seen more naked guys then I ever would wish. And we're celebrating the fact we're still alive...also Finn, Fry, Cap and Petter just jacked a truck loaded with booze! Come on!"

Both boys rolled their eyes but followed with grins.

"Just be responsible! Please!" Vince warned. He had to try, he knew they were going to be wild, but he had to at least lecture them and try to be in charge.

"Let em blow off steam Vince." Jorge muttered.

Alex was handing out drinks with a grin.

It didn't take long until most of their group was now tipsy. It was Fry and Alex who were the most sobber. It took a lot to get her drunk these days, which in hind sight was probably not a good thing.

Thomas was sitting on a log, staring up at the sky, finishing yet another drink when Alex and Newt came and plopped down beside him.

"Whatcha looking at?" Newt slurred.

"Those big shiny things. They are so pretty!" Thomas pointed up at the sky.

They looked up. The stars were bright and they were beautiful. Sometimes Alex would stare at them, thinking that maybe they were all her boys, her boys were watching her, keeping an eye on her. She shook her head, she didn't want to be sad. Not tonight. She tore her eyes from the twinkling stars only to realize Tommy and Newt had squished her and they were leaning over her.

"Guys! Let me out first! Wait!" Alex screamed, trying to escape from between the guys.

The guys blinked their unfocused eyes and glanced down at her, like they only realized now she was there.

"Get out the way Shanket!" Thomas slurred, and pushed her in the chest.

Alex yelped and fell backwards off the log. She landed with a thud. Only to have Newt loose his balance and fall too. Causing Thomas to giggle uncontrollably, which in turn made him slip off the log.

Alex scrambled to her feet and tried to help the boys up. They were far to unsteady. Thomas somehow managed to do quite the spin on his way up, but his feet got tangled up, and as he fell back down, Newt caught him.

"Nice move. Looked like some kinda Sala move Min and I did in the Glad." Alex laughed at the guys.

"Almost to the T" Frypan chuckled, he came waltzing over with a drink in his hand.

Newt gasped, his big brown alcohol hazed eyes going wide.

"You think so? We looked that good?" He asked excitedly.

He helped Thomas stand up. Thomas was hitting Newt in the shoulder over and over, trying to get his attention.

"Yeeeeas MAAA Tommy Boooooy?" Newt slurred, turning back to Thomas with a sly smile.

Thomas leaned in and whispered something in his ear. And Newt's face lit up.

Fry and Alex were giggling uncontrollably at the pair.

"Yes! I think we can be even better!" Newt said seriously and nodded his head wildly.

"Coooome on Toooomy! We gotta show Alex hooow much beetttter we are at the salsa!" Newt grinned, his eyes focusing and unfocussing on the boy in front of him.

Thomas slid closer, and wrapped a hand around Newt's waist, making him gasp. Thomas grabbed his hand. They stood in a Waltz possition for a moment, just staring into each other's eyes.

Alex leaned over to Fry still giggling, "I think they need a minute."

"No! No! We're ready! Go get Alex! She needs to see this!" Thomas slurred.

Fry and Alex looked at each hand burst into more giggles.

"Okay! I'll go get her!" Alex yelled, "hold on!"

The pair didn't move and neither did Alex. She stood there laughing so hard she was snorting. Fry was doubled over, hands on his knees.

"Maybe...maybe we shouldn't be so mean!" He managed between gasping breaths.

Kenzie and Brenda came teatering over.

"Waaaaz so funny?" Brenda asked.

"We're waiting for someone to get Alex." Frypan wheezed.

Kenzie frowned. And then pointed at Alex beside him.

"She's right there." She said confused.

Fry and Alex made eye contact and burst into a fresh wave of giggles.

"Newt? Tommy? You may begin!" Alex yelled, "we found Alex!"

"Oh good!" Newt's words were jumbled together.

They hadn't moved from their positions. Still holding their hands, and arms around each other.

"Aaaand one... two...threeeeee." Thomas mumbled.

Newt and Thomas started to do some kind of weird waltz salsa awkward first dance routine. As they continued it got more elaborate. And the wild their yelling become, they claimed they were singing the dance song.

Alex, Fry, Brenda and Kenzie followed behind them, howling with laughter as they wildly danced down the street.

A door swung open and a dishevelled looking Vince came stomping towards them.

Captain Ronin and Jorge followed behind him. The pair had decided to make all the ruckus down the one street where the leaders shared room was. And Alex couldn't be happier.

"Would you two shut up! Some of us are trying to sleep!" Vince yelled.

Newt without breaking his stride let go of Thomas and grabbed onto Vince.

"Coooome daaance wiff uuuuss! We are the beeest dancers!" Newt slurred again. His speach was getting worse. Thomas wrapped an arm around Vince now too. And together Newt and Thomas pulled Vince down the street, trying to dance with him.

Everyone was doubled over laughing. Jorge managed "oh, he's gonna HATE them."

"Naaah. I'll do something tomorrow to take my title back. But this is shucken hilarious!" Alex yelled back.

He finally managed to squirm away from them, they didn't seem to notice and continued down the street without him.

Vince came storming back towards them, pointing a finger at Alex.

"This is your fault!"

"Mine? How the shuck did you come up with that? I'm the most sobber!" Alex gasped.

"I don't know, but your the one always causing trouble!" Vince fummed.

"Well I'm not the one waltzing down the street making a rukus! So slim it Vince!" Alex chuckled as she watched Newt trip, taking Thomas down with him in a yelp of crazy flailing limbs. ***

Everyone was roaring with laughter by the end. Newt and Thomas were beat red and couldn't look each other in the eye.

"It was the moment I knew!" Brenda gasped, "those fine dance moves really won me over!" She leaned over and kissed Thomas's very pink cheek.

Alex could hardly breathe She was laughing so hard.

"Hmm, I'd like to see these dance moves!" Simon snikered at Newt.

"No. Absolutely not!" He pouted, crossing his arms.

"No way they were better than us!" Minho said with a smug look.

"Hey!" Newt and Thomas said in unison.

They glanced at each other, and grinned sheepishly.

"Okay! DANCE OFF!" Kenzie yelled, high fiving Gally, Brenda and Felix.

"Challenge accepted!" Minho said, crossing his arms. He raised an eyebrow at Alex and then looked at Thomas and Newt.

"I'm always down for a good challenge." Alex grinned.

"But let's make it interesting!" Frypan smiled.

Everyone cheered.

"I'm game." Minho shrugged.

"We didn't even agree to this!" Thomas whinned.

"What did you have in mind?" Newt asked.

"Looser drinks. Chugs a full jar!" Gally yelled, holding up a jar.

"DEAL!" Simon yelled.

Minho and Newt rounded on him, "you can't agree to that! Your not even part of this!"

"But agreed!" Newt said.

"Prepare to loose brother dearest!" Alex smirked.

Minho chuckled, grabbing Alex's hand and expertly twirled her towards him, dipped her and kissed her.

Newt grabbed Thomas's hand and he just stumbled forwards.

"We got this babe!" Minho chuckled.

Teresa cranked the radio.

Minho and Alex got lost in the dance. Everyone and everything feel away and it was just the two of them salaing around the fire, just like back in the Glad.

The song ended, and Alex was breathing hard, her face pink. Minho smirked down at her, he leaned in closer and whispered, "still got it...your hips don't lie babe, are you trying to be mean?"

Alex pushed him away with a smug smirk and a wink.

Sonya had slipped over, "your right sis. Some spicy Sala moves, glad there weren't kids around for that!"

"Okay!" Kenzie yelled, waving her hands for silence. "The winners would have been Alex and Minho, but come on guys! Keep it PG 13!"

"The judges Pannell has come to the agreement you loose by default!" Felix announced.

Gally produced two jars. Newt and Thomas were fist pumping. Simon and Brenda were holding onto each other for support they were laughing so hard.

"You guys are all just jealous!" Minho sassed, making Alex laugh. They accepted their defeat as they took the jars from Gally. Alex clinked hers with Minho. They stared each other down and took a sip.

"Chug!" Kenzie yelled.

Minho raised an eyebrow over the top of the jar. Alex grinned and tipped her head back.

"Chug! Chug! Chug!" Everyone changed.

Alex finished just before Minho and held her jar in the air. Everyone cheered.

He gave her an inquisitive look.

Alex shrugged with a mischievous grin. "I had lots of practice during the Right Arm. Not much to do other than boring meetings and taking out bad guys!"

Minho threw his head back and laughed, "Guess I need more practice!"

"Your on!" Gally challened.

"Wait! Let's make it interesting!" Alex smiled evilly.

Minho raised an eye brow.

"Listening."

"Arm wrestling. But winner takes a shot, and you keep going." Alex smirked, doing her arms.

"DONE!" both guys yelled.

"I want in on this!" Felix yelled.

"Me too!" Simon called.

The girls got the table set up, and everything ready.

By the end, Minho had taken 8 shots, Felix 6, Gally and Simon a respectable 5.

Minho slammed Felix's arm back down, with a loud "HA!" Grabbed the shot from Kenzie and flung his head back.

"I WIN! I'M THE WINNER! SUUUUUKS TO BE YOU SHANKS!" He yelled, throwing his hands in the air in victory.

He leapt from his stool, and immediately fell over. Everyone howled with laughter.

"Woah! Who made the ground move?" He asked, his words finally slurring.

Alex came over laughing at him. "Come on hot stuff, up ya get."

"Hey!" Minho yelped, trying to scramble away, "I got meeee a shmoooken' hot fiancee.." he was swatting her hands away. "No touching the merchandise! No touchy! Sheeee wouldn't like that!"

Everyone standing around roared with laughter. Alex stood with her hands on her hips, an amused smirk on her face.

"At least he's loyal when he's smashed." Brenda laughed.

"Very true. Couldn't ask for a better guy." Teresa said with amusement as the girls stood shoulder to shoulder watching Minho attempt to stand up.

"Hey there big guy. Can I help" Alex called, her arms still crossed, smirking at him.

He stopped trying to get up, he sat in the sand, stairing up at Alex and the girls, he pointed at Alex, his eyes wide.

"You're definitely hot! Like woah baby, your hot! But I goooot me a woman! And she's Queen! Also..."

He leaned forward and motioned for them to come closer. The girls glanced at each other and grinned. Alex, Brenda, Kenzie, Sonya, Tes and Harriet all crouched down in front of him.

"My woman is a baaaasassssss. She can take people out! Even me! I gotsta be on my beeeest behavior!" Minho whispered seriously.

The girls tried very hard to stiffle their giggles.

"Ya don't say? A big guy like you?" Sonya gasped.

He nodded his head seriously.

"Yeeees! She's like a sneaky warrior dragon ninja! And she's hot! I like to watch her! She's got a hot body! But know what else?" He leaned even closer to them. His eyes were so glossy and out of focus now. 

"What?" Teresa giggled.

"She's really nice!" He smiled to himself.

He paused. "That's probably why she's so good! She's nice and then BAM!" he slapped his hands together, "YOU'RE DEAD!"

Alex fell backwards onto her butt laughing historically.

"Thats the way to do it!" Harriet nodded seriously, but the glint in her eye gave away her amusement.

"That's why!" Minho whispered, "You," he pointed at Alex, "you gotsta keep your hands toooo yourself! Your too hot to die! I'm saaaaving you! You should thank me!"

"Oh I'm sure we could come to some kind of arrangement." Alex smirked.

"Beautiful women..." He looked at each of them.

"You need to go now! My Queen might come back and BAM! Your all dead!" He yelled.

"Very thoughtful of you." Kenzie giggled.

"I also need to throw up. And pretty women shouldn't see that!" He whispered, his eyes wide.

Alex sighed. And twisted towards the group of guys behind them, "Hey! Who's the least drink?"

Frypan and Newt stepped forwards snickering. Everyone had listened to Minho's whole conversation. His whispering wasn't exactly quiet.

They reached down and hulled him to his feet. Alex shook her head with a chuckle. She got up and looked at the girls.

"You guys okay with your boys?" She nodded. The only other two who looked quite wobbly were Felix and Simon.

"Yes. We'll get them home." Sonya chuckled, "go look after your drunken hero."

Alex chuckled and followed Newt and Frypan, as they helped Minho back to their cabin.

"Thanks guys. Just dump him on the bed, he'll pass out and sleep it off. I do not envy his hangover!" Alex chuckled.

"Me either." Frypan smiled and shook his head.

"Good night sis. He's a shuck face. But...he's a good shuck face." Newt chuckled, pulling her into a tight hug.

"And he's my shuck face." Alex grinned and hugged Newt back.

The guys left and Alex kicked off her sneakers and pulled Minho's sneakers off. She quickly changed into one of his t shirts and a pair of pj shorts. She tried tugging his tight jeans off, because who wants to sleep in jeans?

He stirred. And then moand.

"Get away woman! I got me a fiancee! I don't take my pants off of anyone!"

"Good thing I'm not anyone!"

He gasped, "your MY shuck fiancee?" And then moaned. "I don't feel good."

"Pants off. Then sleep." Alex ordered.

"Yes sir! I mean ma'am!"

She helped him sit at the end of the bed. It took a lot longer then nessicary, and she had to help him out his pj pants on like a toddler, his movements were all over the place and he kept giggling.

"Your really pretty! Know what? Some hot chick tried to take advantage of me! I told her NO! I have a woman! Back off!" He flailed his arms around like he was karate chopping something.

"Is that so?" Alex asked, amused, her hands on her hips.

He nodded.

"I'm always a hundred percent yours, baby cakes!" He gave her a big goofy drunk smile.

Alex giggled. She stepped closer and cradled his face, he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I love you, you drunk shuck face." She giggled.

"Hmmm. I love you too my beautiful fiancee." He slurred.

She leaned down and kissed him gently.

"Bedtime. Your gonna have a wicked hangover tomorrow."
