Alfred sighed as walked in the poorly lit New York City street. Usually he wouldn't mind the walk back to his place, since he was used to all the walking he had to do to get around, but he did not want to carry his drunken companion any longer then he needed to. Alfred made sure to make a mental note for himself to never take Arthur to drink after a world conference meeting ever again, or at least when they were so far away from his place or Arthur's hotel room.
Alfred momentarily stopped and turned around to see if any free cabs were heading his way. Unfortunately he could only watch as taken taxis drove by. Every time he heard a car approaching in the distance, Alfred would turn around, just to be disappointed.
One cab went by. Two. Three. Four. Five. After a while Alfred stopped counting and gave up with his cab hunt. It was a late Friday night; of course everyone else would be riding a cab.
After about ten minutes, Alfred heard another approaching car. He tiredly looked back to see his luck finally changed and it was a free taxi. He stopped and put his hand out, when the taxi got close he stopped and pulled over and Alfred opened the door.
Alfred made sure to put the smaller nation in the seat closer first and then climbed over him to the other side. When Alfred was settled in the cabby asked in a very deep low voice how he was. Alfred couldn't put his finger on it, but his voice seemed familiar.
"Good… well you know, aside from my drunk friend here," Alfred joked. "But I need to get to 82nd and Park Ave."
The next thing Alfred knew a buzzing noise was going off and lights were flashing throughout the cab.
This isn't-
"This is Cash Cab After Dark," Alfred hears, he lifts his head up to see his taxi driver is Ben Bailey.
It is.
"What's going on?" Arthur said groggily.
Arthur getting up was only going to make things more difficult, Alfred was going to have to think of answers while controlling his very drunk companion, which is easier said then done since Arthur is known to do some pretty stupid things when drunk. But at least Alfred knew why the voice sounded familiar. Alfred would watch Cash Cab quite a bit when he was just relaxing at home.
"Cash Cab is a TV game show that takes place right here in my in my taxi," Ben explained. "So do you want to play?"
Alfred thought about it for a moment. "Well, what do I have to loose? Let's do this."
All Alfred had to do was manage not to answer three questions wrong and (what Alfred believed to be the harder challenge) prevent Arthur from making a complete fool of himself. Alfred knew that if Arthur were to act like a complete idiot on national television, and found out later (when sober) that he did absolutely nothing to stop him, Arthur would surely have his head.

I'm sorry for the lack of Arthur in this part. He'll be in it more in the next part. XDDDDDD

"Well, what do I have to loose? Let's do this." Minor spelling mistake, loose (not bound together) should be lose (to fail to keep, preserve, or maintain) instead ^^ "Alfred sighed as walked" I think you're missing a "he" in after "as".
I love seeing cashcab!fics :) Especially if the participants are weirding out the host and know all the answers. Haha. I can envisage Alfred trying to abuse his authority to prevent the segment from airing on TV and Arthur rambling on about his history. Would love to see more!
