***Dr Whale enters***
John Whale had long gotten used to long days; if you were a medical professional, you had to. Even in a small town like Storybrooke, being a doctor wasn't a job that gave you much time for much else. So Whale preferred to frequent places like The Rabbit Hole and see familar faces. Female faces, in particular. Storybrooke certainly had it's share of attractive women; Whale had once toyed with the idea of seeing the world, but when the Mayor looked like that, and the elementary school teacher looked like that and the Mother Superior...well, there wasn't much reason to leave.
He walked in, heading straight for the bar. "Charley, can you set me up, I just-" His sentence dropped off into silence when he saw the woman sitting near the mechanic...Billy or Bobby or something. But he knew the name of the woman. "Oh, my God."

"Cora, no, with the Bambi eyes...Right, right, right. But you're getting on stage in the next ten minutes."
"Of course I am," she assured Marcus, "And I shall need your undivided attention." This time, she managed to pull him away from Kitt and Ruby's table, mouthing a silent 'sorry' to them as they retreated back to the bar. She placed Marcus back at his most recent empty glass and moved toward the stage. After making her request of the emcee, she grasped the mic and waited for the music to start. Snapping along to the Peggy Lee song "Fever," she began just another performance, moving among the male patrons of the audience with caressing hands and inviting lips. "Never know how much I love you Never know how much I care When you put your arms around me I get a fever that's so hard to bear You give me fever, when you kiss me Fever when you hold me tight Fever in the mornin', a fever all through the night Sun lights up the day time Moon lights up the night I light up when you call my name And you know I'm gonna treat you right You give me fever, when you kiss me Fever when you hold me tight Fever in the mornin' A fever all through the nightEverybody's got the fever That is somethin' you all know Fever isn't such a new thing Fever started long agoRomeo loved Juliet Juliet she felt the same When he put his arms around her He said, "Julie, baby, you're my flame" Thou givest fever, when we kisseth Fever with thy flaming youth Fever I'm on fire Fever yeah I burn forsoothCaptain Smith and Pocahontas Had a very mad affair When her daddy tried to kill him She said, "Daddy, oh don't you dare" He gives me fever with his kisses Fever when he holds me tight Fever, I'm his missus And daddy, won't you treat him right? Now you've listened to my story Here's the point that I have made Chicks were born to give you fever Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade They give you fever when we kiss them Fever if you live and learn Fever till you sizzle Oh what a lovely way to burnWhat a lovely way to burn What a lovely way to burn And what a lovely way to burn"

Cora had his undivided attention. Marcus was only mildly drunk, and quickly snapped his fingers at the bartender. "Another?" asked the man behind the bar, and Marcus shook his head without looking away from the stage. "Just get me some water. Lots of ice," he said, leaning one elbow on the bar. When Cora performed, you watched.
In his most exposed moments, Sadler could almost admit that he loved Cora, or something like it...love as he understood it. She was his best friend, a position that very few clamoured for. He didn't know if she considered him as her best friend, but he certainly considered her special. Special enough that Marcus never lavished any unwanted romantic affection on her, or heated sexual advances. He may have flirted playfully in the past, but not in the man-on-a-mission way he did with other women. He held Cora above that.
That didn't mean he wasn't attracted to her. He was still a man. Indeed, with her sultry tones and rhymtic swaying, she kept his - and everyone else's - attention. His eyes only moved to follow her. Sadler sipped his water, enjoying the performance. When it ended, the room burst into applause and he clapped along with them, smiling at her. Sadler was beginning to feel...uncomfortable with what he'd said to Ruby and Kitt. Embarassed, even, and guilty for embarassing Cora. Not that an apology was on the horizon.
"Hmm, six out of ten?" he teased. "Fine, seven. But only because I know how much you yearn for my approval."

"Hmm, six out of ten? Fine, seven. But only because I know how much you yearn for my approval."
"Everyone's a critic," Cora sighed with a roll of her eyes. "Why don't you get up there and show me how it's done then?" She snatched the glass of water out of his hands and drank from it with a challenging glare. "Ooh, look, the dishy doctor is in attendance," she remarked, catching sight of Dr. Whale. "I think I might be coming down with something...."

"Why don't you get up there and show me how it's done then?"
"My pleasure," he said, standing.
"Ooh, look, the dishy doctor is in attendance, I think I might be coming down with something...."
Sadler followed her gaze. "I think it's catching," he said, his eyes falling on the woman Whale was speaking to, who had the mechanic in her tractor beam. Who the hell was that? "Hey, see if you can find out who that is. Maybe big me up to her. I'll owe you one."
Resisting the pull of the newcomer with some difficulty, Marcus cleared his throat and stepped to the stage.
Well I'm goin' out west Where the wind blows tall 'Cause Tony Franciosa Used to date my ma They got some money out there They're giving it away I'm gonna do what I want Do what I want And I'm gonna get paid
Little brown sausages Lying in the sand I ain't no extra baby I'm a leading man Well my parole officer WIll be proud of me With my Olds 88 And the devil on a leash My Olds 88 And the devil on a leash
Well I know karate, Voodoo too I'm gonna make myself available to you I don't need no make up I got real scars I got hair on my chest I look good without a shirt
Well I don't lose my composure In a high speed chase Well my friends think I'm ugly I got a masculine face I got some dragstrip courage I can really drive a bed I'm gonna change my name To Hannibal or maybe Just Rex Change my name to Hannibal Or maybe just Rex
I'm gonna drive all night Take some speed I'm gonna wait for the sun To shine down on me I cut a hole in my roof In the shape of a heart
And I'm goin' out west Where they'll appreciate me Goin' out west Goin' out west

ELLE
Elle had felt a lot of the attention drawn away from her as that woman had not only taken control of the stage, but the room. She was impressed by the way the woman worked a room. Impressed, but not pleased. Elle had barely managed to stop herself from glaring. At least she still had the attention of Billy and the intense stare of a man who'd recently entered the bar. She spared him a glance and gave him the same warm, inviting smile she'd given the other male patrons before returning her attention to Billy. There was something vaguely familiar about Intense Glare Man but she shrugged it off.
Now that the woman's song was over, she could feel more of the eyes returning to her. A few shots appeared before her and she picked one up, lifting it in a salute to the man who'd sent them over. She quickly tossed it back in one gulp and returned the empty shot glass upside down on the bar.
A man was now singing and Elle spared an appreciative glance toward the owner of the rich, deep voice. Handsome, clean cut, business man... At first glance, just another suit oozing the confidence of one very successful in his trade. Another glance and she sensed more. There was a... darkness to him. She recognized it because she was made of the same stuff.
Not wanting to discourage Billy, Elle's glances were carefully timed and did not linger for too long. "You're turn," she said with a smile as she pushed one of the shots over to Billy and picked up another for herself.

'You know Ruby, you and I aren't so different. You should respect that.' Sadler's voice echoed through her mind, crawling under her skin and sticking there. But he was wrong. There was no common link between the two of them. She knew there wasn't. For all of her faults, and there were a plethora of them, she didn't consider herself a bad person.
"Well, that was fun." Despite her words, there was no amusement in her tone when she turned to Kitt. That confrontation had been anything but fun and they both knew it. "Makes me so glad that I stayed in town. What would I do without the daily public flogging?"
But what if she was the one that was wrong?

"Well, that was fun. Makes me so glad that I stayed in town. What would I do without the daily public flogging?"
"Look Marcus is... well..." I searched my brain through an appropriate word to use that would best summon up everything that is Marcus Sadler but alas. "Marcus is well a dickhead. I am surprised he is up on stage singing a song that isn't about him being 'simply the best' or 'sexy and he knows it'. I for one am glad you stayed in town."
Marcus finished singing and left the stage "Anyway Ruby you came here to laugh at some people singing and that is what you are going to do. If you can't think of at least 5 hilarious things about the next singer I will be highly dissipointed in you." I shot Ruby a smile before I stood up and walked to the stage, I had a quick look down the song list before finally settling on Little Things by Ed Sheeran.
Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me But bear this mind it was meant to be And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks And it all makes sense to me
I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile, You've never loved your stomach or your thighs The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine But I'll love them endlessly
I won't let this little things slip out of my mouth But if I do, it's you, oh it's you, they add up to I'm in love with you and all these little things
You can't go to bed without a cup of tea Maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep Though it makes no sense to me
I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape You never want to know how much you weigh You still have to squeeze into your jeans But you're perfect to me
I won't let this little things slips out of my mouth But if it's true, it's you, it's you, they add up to I'm in love with you and all these little things
You never love yourself half as much as I love you You'll never treat yourself right darling but I want you to If i let you know, I'm here for you Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you oh
I've just let these little things slips out of my mouth 'Cause it's you, oh it's you, it's you they add up to And I'm in love with you (all these little things)
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth but if it's true, it's you, it's you they add up to I'm in love with you, and all your little things.[/font]
As I finished singing I couldn't help but look at Ruby and smile... [/div]

Cora exhaled and shook her head at Marcus' song choice. Why he insisted on growling through blue-collar anthems when that lovely tenor could have purred out a Jeff Buckley or a Damien Rice was beyond her. Fine, he wanted to know who the new vixen in town was, she'd do some investigating. It would be terribly taxing to speak with the luscious Dr. Whale, but she was willing to sacrifice.
As she made her way across the room, she kept an ear on Kitt's song and noticed the smitten look on Ruby's face. Perhaps their night hadn't been ruined after all. And how nice to know that such love still existed somewhere in this world.
"Evening, Doctor," she greeted, leaning against the bar next to him. "Taking a well-deserved break from all those needy patients?"

A dozen thoughts ran through Whale's mind. The day had taken an...unexpected direction. He wanted to speak to her, but had no idea what to say. Speechlessness wasn't usually a problem for Whale.
"Oh, hi, Cora," he replied as Cora slipped into his eyeline. "Something like that. There's only so many times you can take the pulse of Captain Coma."

"Oh, hi, Cora ... Something like that. There's only so many times you can take the pulse of Captain Coma."
"Hmm, yes, I imagine it is a letdown that his pulse doesn't quicken at your touch like so many others," she sighed. The doctor's reputation was well-known in the town, and Cora couldn't claim to be immune to his charms either. But Whale's attention seemed completely focused on the femme fatale down the bar. "So who is that nubile newcomer? Friend of yours?" she asked.

"Hmm, yes, I imagine it is a letdown that his pulse doesn't quicken at your touch like so many others,"
Whale laughed a little. "Not too many others," he said, and smiled lightly. "What, you think I'm some kind of scoundrel?"
"So who is that nubile newcomer? Friend of yours?"
He motioned the bartender for a drink. "In a way," he said, tapping the bar slightly in growing anxiety. "She's, uh...well, she's my stepsister."

"What, you think I'm some kind of scoundrel?"
"No, of course not," she insisted, shaking her head. "But every city needs one. I think you're doing a public service."
"She's, uh...well, she's my stepsister."
"Really? I didn't know you had family in town." She laid a hand lightly on his fidgeting fingers. "Sweetie, I understand the concern, but she's a grown woman. And this is a public place crowded with people. Who's going to hurt her here?"

"No, of course not, But every city needs one. I think you're doing a public service."
He turned his gaze away from his sister for a moment, smiling at Cora. "Well, I'm a slave to the needs of the public."
"Really? I didn't know you had family in town. Sweetie, I understand the concern, but she's a grown woman. And this is a public place crowded with people. Who's going to hurt her here?"
Whale's eyebrows lifted at the touch of her fingers; a not-unpleasant feeling, but his stepsister was a constant distraction. "I just haven't seen her in a long time. You know how it is with family," he said.

Beau Johnson
Beau sat in the corner of the bar alone swirling a glass of scotch round and round. He didn't understand peoples attraction to alcohol, they consumed it in mass only to get drunk and make fools of themselves though that seemed to be the out come of lots of situations people were in, love, anger, revenge it didn't seem to make much difference as they could all end up with people acting irrationally for no real reason. Bringing the glass up to his lips Beau let the liquid flow into his mouth then down his throat. Beau stared down at the empty glass as the tasteless liquid made its way through his system, in the background people were getting up and singing as they had down all night and on several previous situations though most of them couldn't sing again ending up puzzling Beau with the question of why are people so eager to make fools out of themselves.

Green eyes met brown as the sweet sound of Kitt's voice faded. All day- the past two days- she had been beating herself up over and over about what he could possibly see in a girl like her. She still had absolutely no idea. But somehow, at least for the moment, it didn't matter. Nothing else mattered. And if that was how he saw her, well, maybe that was enough to make it true.
She reached out for his hand as he came back to the table, pulling him towards her before he could return to his seat. "I tried to think of those five things but the sexy man holding the microphone kept distracting me." She leaned upwards so that their lips met in a gentle kiss. "Well, I guess that settles it. You really are the complete package."

Kitt Walker
Her kiss was electric and went through me like lightning.
"Well, I guess that settles it. You really are the complete package."
"Almost, I still have trouble baking cookies without nearly sitting the kitchen on fire."
The touch of her hand on my still made the hairs on the back my neck stand on end, her beauty radiated the dimly lit bar and her smile made all the troubles of the night instantly forgettable. "What is it going to cost me to get you up there singing?"

Sadler stumbled a little on his way to the bar. He saw the newcomer toying with poor, kind, stupid Billy. He kept his laugh to himself, briefly glancing around the room before sliding between Billy and the woman. "Hey, Bill, gonna introduce me to your friend?" he asked, seperating the two.

BILLY
Billy glared at Marcus's back. He knew when to pick his battles and knowing that Elle was more than capable of taking care of herself, he'd avoid getting into one, especially if it was a battle involving Sadler. Billy grabbed his drink off the bar and stepped around Sadler. "It was nice meeting you, Elle," he said, pointedly ignoring Sadler, then headed back to rejoin his buddies.
ELLE
"Don't be a stranger, sweetie," she called after him and when he looked back, she smiled and gave him a wink, satisfied that the seed of hope that he had a chance was still intact. A toy she could play with again when the mood struck her.
Elle turned back to her new companion, eyeing him with approval. Most would have been appalled by his rudeness and audacity but she'd found it amusing and didn't bother hiding her amusement. "You've scared away my toy," she said with mock disappointment.

Beau Johnson
Beau watched as a man with a slightly dejected look on his face walked away from a woman who he would assume most would find attractive. Courtship was another procedure Beau didn't grasp, he failed to see why a man or woman wouldn't just take one of the opposite sex to fulfill their needs. Beau proceeded to stand up and put his jacket on and leave the bar.
*Beau leaves The Rabbit Hole.*

"You've scared away my toy,"
"I'm a lawyer. We're professional people-scarers," he said, calling for two drinks with a gesture of his hand. "You know, I do a lot of business with a lot of people in town. But I've never seen you before."

"I'm a lawyer. We're professional people-scarers,"
She chuckled. "My kind of people."
"You know, I do a lot of business with a lot of people in town. But I've never seen you before."
Elle picked up one of the newly delivered drinks. "I've been... buried. You know how work can be," she said with a dismissive wave. There'd been enough boring small talk with Billy. She took a sip of her drink and moved the conversation in a more interesting direction. "I have a lot of lost time to make up for," she leaned in close, whispering in his ear, "and a lot of pent up energy and frustration." A wicked grin played across her lips as she returned to her previous position. She kept her eyes locked on his as she sipped her drink, waiting for his move.

"I just haven't seen her in a long time. You know how it is with family,"
"Hmm, not really," Cora replied, frowning slightly in contemplation. "Just another orphan in a town full of them. Unless you count Gold as my emotionally distant father and Marcus as my infuriating idiot brother." She glanced over to see that Billy had been elbowed aside and Sadler had slithered his way to Whale's stepsister's side. Of course Marcus was a grown man who could look after himself, but Cora felt a nagging suspicion that there was something...off about that woman. "You don't want that for an in-law, do you, doctor?" she chided as she nodded toward Sadler.

Marcus smiled calmly even as his trousers got shorter. This was easily the best thing to happen to anyone ever. He didn't betray his feelings on his face, taking a quick drink without removing his eyes from hers. "Well, best to start working on that right away," he said. "In my professional opinion."

"Oh, uh, sorry," said Whale, inwardly kicking himself. "And if you get to choose your family, why would you choose those two?"
"You don't want that for an in-law, do you, doctor?"
"Don't even joke about that," he said. "Or your brother and I will have to fight to the death." It was a joke, but he still kept his eyes trained on the two of them, knowing he had to do something. Soon.

"Well, best to start working on that right away," "In my professional opinion."
His face openly showed exactly what she was after. Lust. Definitely one of her favorite vices.
"I couldn't agree more," she said as she put down her drink. "You lawyers can talk a good talk," she began, taking his drink from his hand and placing it on the bar as she stepped closer, "but how about some action?" She ran her hands along the lapels of his jacket before using them to slowly reel him in closer, stopping just inches away as a teasing smile played across her lips. "I'm not going to have to make all the moves, am I?"

"I'm not going to have to make all the moves, am I?"
Sadler's eyebrows lifted in pleasant surprise at how forward she was. He was even a little intimidated. But not enough to not discreetly move a hand to the small of her back and push further against his chest. Marcus leant in a little without dipping his head, emphasizing the height different between the two. "Oh, there are numerous moves..." he said, his voice smoothly dropping to a low, seductive tone. "...that I'll have you making." As he spoke, his hand dropped to comfortably slide around the curve of her ass.

Elle's eyes lit up and she practically purred. "Mm, promises, promises," she said as her hands snaked up to thread through his hair. She stood on her toes and pulled him the rest of the way down, giving him a quick, searing kiss. Just a teasing taste of what was to come. "Let's get out of here before I take you right here on the bar," she whispered into his ear, her voice husky with the lust coursing through her.

Whale slammed his hands on the table. "That's it. Son of a bitch," he muttered, standing suddenly and forgetting Cora and the rest of the room. Within a few seconds, he was pushing Sadler away and rounding on Elle. He'd half-expected Sadler to attack him, but he was merely scowling and leaning against the bar with his legs suspiciously crossed.
"Gabriella?" he asked, but knowing it wasn't really his stepsister. It was the person he hadn't seen for a very long time, the person he'd begun to think was imagined.

Elle was infuriated as soon as the shock at the sudden and bold interruption wore off. She glared at the intruder.
"Gabriella?"
Her features turned from anger to amusement as she took in the intruder. "Gabriella's not here right now," she said, a dark, mischievous glint in her eyes as the corners of her lips twitched into a devilish smile.
"Gabriella's my twin sister," she said with a glance back at her companion before turning back to the intruder. "You must be our new stepbrother. Look, can we do the whole family thing later? I've just made plans with..." Elle paused and began laughing in utter amusement as she turned her back on the intruder and held out her hand to her companion. "I think we're overdue for a formal introduction. I'm Elle."
