Summary: Chase meets an interesting woman at a bar in Melbourne.
Author's Notes: There will be one of each of these for each Coupling character!



Chase had never realized just how dangerous it would be to weather a bar in Melbourne. He was just 22 and celebrating his graduation of medical school (which, if the Chase family genius held up, he could finish it all in fourteen months, sixteen if he had to push it). Then the internship, the residency, and specializing by 26, if all went according to plan.

So he was out with his mates at Darlington's, having a pint or three and they were good and two sheets to the wind, singing old folk songs to each other.

And then She happened.

She slid right into the booth, even though no one knew her at all and she drank from Richard's beer, grinning predatorily as she studied Chase and each of the three friends he'd arrived with. Chase held her gaze and a smile slowly grew on her lips. She was small, blonde, and gorgeous (and okay, her eyes were slightly alienish, but she was hot).

"I'm Susan," she introduced herself. "Visiting from London." She held out her hand to Chase, who took it and pressed a kiss to her palm. She seemed to like that. "Over by the door is Sally. If she starts going on about her hair or her bottom, that's normal," she assured. "Just watch for face crème splatter."

She was inching closer to Chase and his mates seemed to understand that this was a signal to find an elsewhere to be.

"I'm Rob," he introduced himself. Susan was stroking strands of his hair off his forehead as she leaned in close as could be and kissed him while working to straddle his hips. Yeah, Chase definitely liked this girl.

"Rob from Melbourne," she murmurs his name with great confidence. "Want to get out of here?"

God, did he ever.

"Your wish is my command," he promised with a bright grin, carrying her off to his mighty chariot (Dad's BMW) and driving her off into the moonlight.

COUPLING! I was suspicious as soon as I saw the bar was called "Darlington's". I love it. Silly Sally, she belongs with Patrick.
