Nicole got a little too drunk drowning her sorrows over losing the election at the Mary-Lou Cole Celebration of Tabrine Mandu's election. She got feeling sorry for herself. She can be a "weepy drunk". In truth, no one likes a weepy drunk.
She started whining about going head to head with Magenta and even about bad mouthing her during the campaign for being opportunistic. She was drinking wine and thinking about Magenta's graduation as an officer, about her accomplishments as Executive Officer of the Lexington and the Wrath of Prometheus. Nicole started crying about how wonderful Magenta was, how wonderful the Coren's were and how she had screwed up big time.
She was being positively annoying. She started with a table of supporters but by the end, the only company she had was a few empty wine bottles.
Magenta showed up a few hours late. She had been out to Tokyo to meet with the Tamarians. She took her role very seriously. She came and saw Nicole in her "weakened state.".
Magenta helped her outside. She looked at her, "What the hell are you doing?"
"I lost everything. I lost the election. I lost my dignity and I lost you.", Nicole whimpered. Her beautiful dress was wet in the front from sleeping on the table next to the wine and in the moisture caused by the cold bottles.
"Who said you lost me?", Magenta looked puzzled.
"But I stood against you.", Nicole wimpered.
"Its just a job, Nicole. I love you.", Magenta hugged her.
"Really?", Nicole wimpered.
"Yes. Really. You are never gonna be alone.", Magenta helped Nicole into a cab.
"Get in there, you stupid drunk.", Magenta giggled.
"I am gonna take you home and take advantage of you.", Magenta pushed in Nicole onto the other side of the cab.
Nicole pressed her very drunk face against the cab. There would be no "taking advantage" of her. She was soon passed out.
