Free as a Bird - Part 2.

Jack looked up from his desk, where a nice pile of paperwork had
assembled itself overnight.
"hmm?" he asked, his mind was miles away for a second, before he saw
who it was, and leapt up from his chair, hugging her like a long lost
sister...
"when did you get out?" he asked, as they both left his office, and
began walking towards Parrotts. He kept his arm around her all the
way, as she updated him on what had happened.
"well, i'm glad you're out now." he said, smiling as they entered
Parrotts, which was noisier than the clubs right now, everyone
celebrating themselves, and their victory over the Hymenoptera. he
leant over the bar so he could be heard, and yelled into his ear
"double vodka, and a pint of generic beer!"
Amber looked at him with an odd expression, "i thought you didn't
drink anymore?" she asked. He returned a smile,
"i don't, but this is a special occasion." he said, handing her the
small glass. "good to have you back" he said again as the noise
suddenly died down for a second.
"ooh, i have an idea..." he said, and jumped up onto the bar.
He stood there, watching over all of Parrotts, and shouted so everyone
could hear. "Excuse me everyone, can i have your attention please?"
Everyone turned to face him, glasses in their hands, most of them
hardly sober.
"I wish to take this moment to say something, You should all be proud
of yourselves. Together, we have saved Earth from the hymenoptera,
none of this would've happened if we didn't work together like we did.
So... A toast to us all." he said, stopping for a short time, to
take a sip of his beer.
"To Earth, And the Blue Dwarf!" he yelled, holding his glass up high.
Everyone around held theirs up too, as a cheer erupted around them.
Jumping down, he sat on a barstool, and continued to drink.
"To being free?" he asked Amber, holding his glass out.
