A slow, wolfish grin formed as she saw her partner in crime, Jinx. First things first though. She looked to E.T. And laughed at his teasing before playfully landing a solid punch on his upper arm like she's done so many times before.<em> “Well, what can I say? Cord's a good teacher. He's patient and thorough too. I mean, he would have to be...he taught you how to have sex didn't he?”</em>Rachel winked at him before immediately turning to Alex to give him a nod. She wasn't going to give E.T. the opportunity to say something back at her. She rather prided herself on having the last word when she could. Rachel looked back over her shoulder at Jinx and then looked to Alex again. She wanted to make quick work of this so that she could be with her long time friend. She was walking side by side with Alex when she looked at him to speak. Only, she didn't as she noticed Alex looking at Ember. She tilted her head just slightly as she wasn't certain if she heard Alex say what she thought she heard. Either way, it was none of her business and she wasn't going to say anything about it one way or another though she planned to be observant and learn more.<br/><br/>Rachel looked to where the two crates were and smirked as she figured out that E.T. was messing with her again and she laughed.<em>"That pain in my ass doesn't even have to be present in order to screw with me!" </em>She reached down and picked them up and made her way back towards the stage. Placing then on the stage she then hopped up and picked up only one crate this time. She walked over to E.T. and stood a little bit close to him, and smiled that grin that said to him that she was up to no good. He should be very familiar with it as E.T. and Rachel had mercilessly picked on each other from the get to. Bending over just a little bit, as she didn't want to actually hurt him badly, just make it sting, she dropped the crate on E.T.'s foot before dusting her hands together.<em>"Glad I could help, E.T.  Let me know if I can be of further service. Wouldn't want to leave those extension cords for just anyone to deal with."</em>Immediately turning, her dark brown eyes turned to Jinx and she hopped off the stage.<br/><br/><em>“Hey Jinx!</em>“she hollered as she went to her old friend as she took her time strolling over to her. She passed the rack of pool sticks and without looking she picked up the solid black one. Nothing stood out about it but it was the one that she picked. Every single time. Casually she twirled the stick as she watched Jinx new idiotic friend, Nick, assess his chances. Inward, she shook her head as the poor fool didn't realize he lost the moment he walked over to the table. She didn't miss the way the boy had intruded in on Jinx's space but she also knew that Jinx could handle her own and if the need arose Rachel didn't mind breaking a stick or two upside the kid's cranium to help him get the message.<br/><br/>Rachel looked back at Cord for a moment to see him still sitting in the booth and smiled as he looked directly at her and raised his bottle of water to take a drink. Rachel winked and then looked to the Jinx who had moved away from Nick. Something about tonight was going to be different. She felt charged. Alert. Last time she felt like this some idiot started a fight in here. She really hoped history wasn't going to repeat itself tonight given the givens. Yet, if it did, she would jump in the moment one of her friends did, especially Jinx and Cord.<br/><br/>The two girls weren't ones to cause trouble. Much. Yet, sometimes it had a way of finding them. Other times, they had a way of finding it. Either way, right or wrong, they had each others back and it had been that way since high school and Rachel didn't see that changing any time soon. As Nick went to seek out one of his buddies to be his partner, Rachel sat on the edge of the pool table, close to Jinx, and whispered as she watched Nick, careful to make sure she finished her talk with Jinx before Nick came back.<em>“Alright, girlie, how are we playing this tonight? Is it my turn to suck at playing or is it yours?”</em><br/><br/>Rachel's eyes cooled as Nick seemed to find his partner. She had seen the guy in here before on quite a few occasions and the bastard always tried to get under Rachel's skin in one way or another. The man liked to try and violate her personal space but she always kept him at bay. She just wasn't as nice about it as Jinx was. The jerk even knew who she was with and it detoured him a little bit in his pursuit but mostly he just picked his times to bother her more carefully. Rachel smirked in his general direction and stood, shaking her head as she turned, her back facing the guy.<em>“This is going to prove to be interesting.”</em>She turned her head to look at Jinx.<em> “When we're done amusing them and having our fun...I don't want them walking out of here with shit. Not even their pride.”</em>Rachel's dark brown eyes grew even darker and whatever joyful mood she was in before was gone. She had her game face on as she grabbed the blue chalk to chalk up the tip of her stick.<br/>
