Evelyn was finally cleared by Jeff to get back to work, two and a half months of light duties.

"Why do you need my opinion again?" Jeff asked, as he lowered the hem off her shirt.

"Because I can't give myself a check up. And we're coKeepers. Alby says anyone going back in the job needs to be cleared by the Keeper of the MedJacks. Just following rules." She gave him a small cheeky smile.

He rolled his eyes.

"Yeah from my perspective they look fine. How are you feeling?"

"Good. I can bend and twist without pain. A little sore if I try to lift anything heavy."

"Then don't lift anything heavy." Clint called from the other room.

"He's a genius." Evelyn gasped.

"It's why I picked 'em." Chuckled Jeff.

"Tomorrow is greenie day, we ready? The last two times they've all ended up in here." Evelyn asked hoping off the table.

"Yeah, hope the box brings more gauze and bandages, were running low." Jeff frowned.

"You sent our note?"

He nodded.

The morning was spent patching up Slicers and builders. The last builder was leaving when he turned back around.

"Oh, Ev, uhh, Gally wanted to see you quick."

"Oh! Is he okay?"

"I think so. Didn't look sick or anything."

"Well all right, thanks Ricky, I'll clean this up and come by."

The boy left, closing the door. Clint came over and started to clean up.

"Go. Gally has been really snappy lately. Don't keep him waiting. I can clean up."

"Clint? Are you scared of Gally?" She asked with a small smile.

"Shuck ya! Dudes huge, and then he's always angry."

"He has his reasons. But he's quite kind, he just doesn't... open up much."

"Well... glad he called for you and not me." Clint said with an over exaggerated shutter.

She laughed and grabbed her bag and waved. Pausing for a moment to soak up the sun, tilting her head up and closing her eyes she took a deep breath.

"Don' you look like a ray of sunshine."

She smiled even bigger and turned to see Newt walking towards her. His eyes travelled up and down her body.

"New shirt?" Newt asked, wrapping his arms loosely around her waist.

"What? No! Newt? This is your shirt... and you saw me pull it out of the drawer."

She eyed him suspiciously. He was looking down at her with his big brown eyes, she could see life and mischief behind them.

"What do you want?" She asked.

"Nothin'." He shrugged with an even bigger smile.

"Newton!" She said firmly, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothin'! Honest! Can't a guy just eye up his buggen' girl?"

She hummed, still suspicious. Then her suspension slid into a small smirk and she leaned into his chest and looked up through her lashes.

"Well then maybe I want something." She whispered.

Before he could reply she pushed up onto her toes burried her hands into his shaggy hair and pulled his head down. She kissed him quite hard.

His hands tightened. And one slid down and into her back pocket, using some pressure he pushed her closer. She felt the rumble in his chest.

"Get a room guys!" Nick called as he walked passed.

They broke apart and she lowered down. Newt had a look of triumph on his tanned face.

"I got what I bloody wanted, thanks Love."

She gasped and went pink as he chuckled at her. Raising back up onto her toes she whispered in his ear.

"Anytime Love." Gently bitting his ear and pulled, making him growl. She let go and spun to leave, Newt had to pull his hand from her pocket.

"Not fair!" He pouted.

She shrugged and laughed and went to find Gally. She found him at the builders table, looking over sketches.

"Hey Gally. Ricky said you needed to see me. What's up?"

"Oh yeah. Well one, I wanted you to take a look at this, would it work for the MedHut?"

He shuffled through some papers and found one and handed it to her. It was a sketch of another shelf.

"If we take out the one bed in the corner, I can stretch the shelves and have it wrap along both walls."

"Gally that would be perfect! Thank you! We never use that bed anyways, just gets used as a dumping ground for the extra stuff. Thank you!"

She layed a hand on his arm and gave it a squeeze. He gave her a rare smile.

"And the uhh other thing I was going to ask...come on, I gotta show you something. I need some help."

He turned on his heel and marched away, confused but interested she followed. Gally lead her across the Glade towards the Bkoodhouse.

"Your boyfriend won't be all upset your comin' with me?"

"He knows I'm his. But it's sweet of you to ask."

"Even if I lead you into a dark section of the forest?" He raised an eyebrow at her.

"Are you going to try something Gal?" She raised her own eyebrow.

Gally chuckled and shook his head.

"Nah. I'm not that kinda guy."

She placed a hand on his arm again and gave it a squeeze.

"I know Gal. I know you're not. But where are we going?"

"You'll see."

He rounded the side of the Bkoodhouse and to the back. Without stopping he went into the forest, there was a little worn path that he followed. He stopped in front of a little hut. He waved a hand like he was presenting something grand and magnificent. She folded her arms and stuck a hip out, with a questioning look.

"This here...is my distillery!" He pushed the door open.

He went inside and she followed. Looking around there was all kinds of barrels, there were tubes and wires. It was quite impressive for a home made set up.

"So this is where the magic happens." She chuckled looking around.

"Yep. These ones are ready for tomorrow," he pointed to two big barrels. "Those ones are almost and those ones," he pointed to two in the back. "Are fresh. And over in those ones- Jonny, Kadden and I tried making something new, I can't remember the name of what it is, but it's not this moonshine. It comes out clear and it's even stronger, but also doesn't really have a taste."

"Okay, so what did you need me for? I'm not really a fan of drinking something that tastes like medical disinfectant."

"Well that's just it. Do you have any ideas that would make it taste less ...."

"Disgusting?" She said with a cheeky smile.

"Well ya." Gally shrugged.

"Have you added honey?"

"No."

"Adding something sweet would definitely help, it would also give it flavor. You could also try infusing it with something."

Gally nodded thoughtfully. She stepped between the barrels and over to the clear liquid.

"Hmm, this one might be good if we add mint leaves and lavander...if you could make a sugar syrup..." Her eyes lighting up.

Gally grabbed Jonny and Kadden from their job sights. Gally and Kadden went to the kitchen, and pulled some strings with Frypan and got some cooking equipment and started a fire in the woods, while Evelyn and Jonny raced back to the MedHut, grabbed a big basket and her pre harvested mint, lavander, basil and anything else she thought would work, they quickly picked more fresh herbs and spices and hulled it all back to the little hut in the woods.

The fire was hot and Evelyn placed the pot with some water boiling added sugar and the mint and lavander. While she made the syrup, the guys started to mix the honey into the barrels for tomorrow and the other barrels still fermenting.

The syrup was ready, and the guys pulled the smaller barrels out and she got to work slowly mixing it with the clear alcohol.

"Vodka!" Evelyn suddenly yelled.

Jonny and Kadden jumped. "What?" Gally asked frowning.

"What this is called! It's vodka!"

The guys eyes lit up.

"Yes! Ha! Good job Evy!" Jonny grinned, holding small cups out. She ladeled some into each cup.

"Okay, test one."

"Cheers!"

The four of them klinked their cups and filled their heads back. All four of them came up coughing. It burnt all the way down and into her stomach. It made her eyes water.

"Definitely needs more!"

"Definitely!"

Evelyn added and mixed some more.

A few more tests later, and many giggles later, they all agreed it tasted perfect. The right amount of mint and lavander and adding just a bit more of the sweet syrup.

"Now...iiiif you add the mint and lavander iiintooo the barrels for the nnnight, it will have a strongerrrr taste."

And that's what they did.

"Okay! Here's the honey...whatever it is."

Kadden handed Evelyn a cup of the other stuff. It still had the hot burn of the alcohol, but it wasn't a sharp burn it was a warm sweetness.

"YES!" she cried, with a big goofy smile, "it's definitely WAAAAAY better."

Gally was looking pleased. "Evy, your a genius! I think tomorrow is gonna be great!"

"I knooooowww! You guyssss would all beeee running around like Winston's chickens...." She giggled, "but with no head!"

Jonny and Kadden glanced at Gally.

"I think we accidentally got her drunk!"

Gally's eyes went wide in realization. "Oh shuck! Newt is gonna kill me."

"I'm fine! Yoooou worry tooooo much!" Evelyn waved a hand dismissively.

"Well it can't get worse." Kadden shrugged, and handed her another one, "this is for tomorrow. How does this one taste?"

Evelyn took it with a goofy smile. Sipping it, she closed her eyes, concentrating on the flavor.

"We should add cinnamon! And...and and...some vvvvvanilla!"

The boys raised their eyebrows.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" She twisted around and fumbled for the basket of stuff she brought. It was almost empty now. She took a handful of cinnamon sticks and a vanilla few vanilla beans. She stumbled to her feet. Gally chuckled, and got up holding her elbow to steady her, helping her over to the barrel and dropped it all into the barrel. She mixed it all together.

"Tomorrow...it will have a sweat warm fuzzy taste!"

"Fuzzy taste?" Gally raised an eyebrow.

"Yes! Like a big hug in a drink!" She giggled.

"Okay. I think we've had enough testing for one day." He steered her away. "Jonny, can you take her stuff back? Kadden? Can you put the fire out and bring the stuff to Fry? I'll come back and help as soon as I deal with her."

The guys chuckled. Gally steared her along the path. Evelyn didn't realize how much she consumed during their testing. She only really felt it as soon as she stood up. She had got up and the world tilted. She managed to get the ingredients into the barrel, and thought she was smooth and hid the fact she couldn't see straight.

Gally was talking, she shook her head trying to focus on what he was saying, but he had already started to pull her away.

"Awwww are we all done?"

"Yeah, your definitely done! You're such a light weight, little bird." He chuckled.

She tried to answer but ended up tripping over a root sticking out. Gally had to help her back up. He sighed heavily and rolled his eyes. He swooped her up and carried her the rest of the way down the path. She yelp as her world went upside down. And then giggled the whole way down the path.

"Gally! How come yoooou don't have a girlfriend? You're so strong!"

He didn't answer, ignoring her.

"Gally why you walking so weird? The path is straight, but your all over the shuck place!"

"It's you, little bird. Your head is spinning from the drinks."

"What? Pfft no. I'm fine!"

"Uh huh." He rolled his eyes. They came to end of the path, and he carried her around the back of the barn and around the Bkoodhouse. They had just turned the corner when there was a shout behind him. Gally turned.

Minho was jogging over, he had just come through the door from the maze. His face plannly showed his worry. He picked up the pace.

"What...what's wrong? She hurt?" He panted.

"Uhh n-"

"MIIIIIINHO!" Evelyn yelled cutting off Gally, she threw herself out if Gally's arms and flung herself into Minho's.

"The shuck?"

"I MISSSSSED YOU!" She cried again, a big grin on her face.

"Yeah... Same..." He said patting her back.

"How coomme you gotta be gone so looong?!
We never get to hang out!" She pouted.

She still hadn't let go of Minho's neck. Minho frowned and pulled his eyebrows together.

"That's 'cause you spend it with your new boy toy." Minho answered unsure, he was now trying to pull away from her hug.

She gasped. "You're right! He's so clingy!"

"Uhh, I think it's you who's clingy. Let go, woman!" He finally managed to pull her arms off.

She gasped again. And sticking her lip out she sunk to the ground, crossing her arms pouting like a child.

"You're such a Mean-Ho!"

"Pixy? What's gotten into you?"

"Not my boy toy! I'll tell ya that!" She grinned mischievously up at the guys.

Both who choked on air and coughed a few times.

"Come again?"

"Nope! Hasn't done that either!" Evelyn dropped her smile, and tapped her chin thoughtfully.

Gally was turning red trying hard not to laugh. Minho had a mix of complete bewilderment and amusement in his face.

"That should probably change...did ya know...I made him stop?"

"No. I didn't. Evelyn, what the shuck is wrong with you?"

Gally was now biting his fist to keep from laughing.

"Well there's a lot wrong. But you don't have time to listen, Mean-Ho. You're soooooo busy with your maps! Maybe you should marry them!"

Minho crouched down in front of her his eyes narrowed, elbows resting on his knees. She stared back at him, a goofy smile on her face, her eyes focussing and unfocussing.

"Are you feeling all right?"

"Never better! Why? Do I look...not all right?" She looked down at herself. She was wearing one of Newt's old t shirts and jean shorts, the shirt was too long so she had tied a knot in it and her long blond hair was thrown into a pony, and she had her bag and sneakers on. She looked back up with shock on her face, her mouth wide open.

"You're right! I'm wearing a BOYS shirt!"

"It's fine. In taking about internally...like do you feel sick?"

"Nope!" She popped the p. In truth she was feeling a bit nauseous, her would wouldn't stop spinning, the ground wouldn't stop moving.

"Minho! Did you know! Did you know Gally doesn't have a girlfriend, even though he's like suuuuper strong!"

Gally snorted with laughter. Minho glanced up at him with a frown. Before he could ask, Evelyn kept talking.

"How come you don't either? You're hair is always great! Also....you are probably reeeeally strong too!" She leaned forwards and not so quietly whispered, "I think you have bigger muscles then Gally! And even Newt! He's strong too! I like to watch him work ya know. It's hot!"

Minho placed the back of his hand on her cheek and then up on her forehead. She froze and tried to look up at the hand without moving her head.

"You're not warm."

She snorted and giggled.

"Dats 'cause I'm hot! Tooooo hot for yoooou!"

"The shuck?!" He muttered.

"That's Lover boys job! Right Minho?"

Minho couldn't help it and he snorted. And looked back at her, she was grinning, her cheeks were flushed, but her eyes weren't focused, and she was swaying just slightly. Her smile slipped and it turned into a frown.

"I haven't met him though. He doesn't push it. Though I think he wants toooo."

"As he should. If you don't want to then he shouldn't push it." Minho agreed.

"It's fun to tease him though!" She giggled. "He gets soooooooo mad! All day it's sooooo fun!" She giggled again.

"Evelyn what the actual shuck? Are you drink?"

"Shhhhh! Meeeeean-Hoo! It's a secret!"

Minho frowned and looked up to Gally who was crying for keeping the laughter inside.

"The shuck man!"

Gally finally crouched down, and explained what happened. Minho finally fell back onto his butt roaring with laughter. Evelyn grinned, having no idea what he was laughing at.

"Well Pixy. You're quite the light weight. And your kinda fun drunk."

"Come on, let's get you up."

"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!"

"Oh my lanta, Pixy!"

"That's also what she said!" She fell back howling with laughter.

The guys snorted and stood up.

"She's a wild little think drunk, huh?" Gally chuckled.

"This is definitely a first. Wonder how Newt will hand this?" Minho agreed, pulling Evelyn's arms, making her stand up. She stumbled sideways. Gally threw an arm out and caught her.

"Well I vote we don't tell him and he can figure it out."

Minho grinned mischievously.

"Deal."
