Pepper was cooking dinner while Tony was in his armory which she calls it his 'man cave'. She held her finger down on the button of the touch glass comm system in order for him to hear her. "Dinners ready" she said. "Bring it down" he said. "Oh no no no you come up here to eat!" She said. "Pepper you know I'm busy please bring it over here" he said.

She groaned, grabbed his plate and walked down to the basement. She punched in the code and opened the door. She set it down on the counter. "There" she said then left. "Love you!" He yelled. "WHATEVER" she said then shut the door. She walked back to the kitchen and cleaned up the pots and pans.

She took off her apron, folded it and put it away. She sighed and plopped onto the couch. "What to do..." She said. She looked over at the small pile of laundry on the table. She made an illusion of her and Tony doing the laundry together which was long time ago until his business started growing and now he doesn't have time for it. He hardly ever had time for Pepper nowadays.

He would be in his cave when he was home and when he wasn't he would either be at work or somewhere around the world. She watched TV and about an hour later he walked out of the armory. She looked at him surprised. "Well well well look who came out of his cave" she said. "Yeah well I have a flight at four in the morning" he said.

"Wait whoa whoa you didn't tell me you were leaving?!" She said. "Oh don't worry it's only for a week I'm doing some business in Spain" he said. "Tony you said we were going to spend sometime together on Saturday" she said. "Did I say this Saturday? Can we move it to the next...oh wait I have that meeting...how about Sunday? No...wait booked on that day too umm..." He said thinking.

"You know what I see your busy these next few weeks so just forget about it" she said getting up. She started walking to the stairs. "Wait where are you going?" He asked. "To bed" she said. "Wait up" he said following her. She opened the door to their room and walked over to the dresser. She took out her night gown and changed. Tony took off his shirt and just slipped on shorts he uses at night.

"At least for once he can sleep with me" she thought. They slipped under the covers but Tony only managed to stay there for ten minutes until he got a call. He walked outside and talked. Pepper groaned. "Too good to be true" she said. By the time Tony finished she was already asleep.

...

She woke up the same time Tony did which was around two AM so she could pack his stuff since he forgot to. She walked down to the armory/garage. She held onto his armored suit case and watched him gather his stuff. He stuffed his suit case full of clothes into the trunk of his Audi A5. He walked over to Pepper and gave her a kiss before he left. "Be safe" she said giving him is armor.

"Promise" he said as he walked back to his car. She watched him pull away then went back to bed. She sighed as she passed the halls. She noticed a picture on the wall which was a picture of them taken a month after their wedding. It showed Tony dabbing Peppers nose with ice cream and they looked happy,

"Why can't it be like old times..." She said with a sad look on her face. She looked at her wedding ring and sighed. She went back to bed and fell asleep with her mind full of thoughts. She woke up around ten AM to the sound of her phone ringing. She grabbed it and picked it up. "Hello?" She said. "Hey Pepper!" Said Samantha who was one of Peppers good friends. "Oh hey Sam" she said. "So I was wondering if you wanted to go to lunch later?" She asked. "Sure...I got time" she said.

"Great see you at three then!" Samantha said then hung up. Pepper got up and yawned. The light from outside made the room glow. She walked downstairs and turned on the TV to watch the news. "Breaking news there's been a terrorist attack in Madrid Spain" said the anchor. Pepper started tensing up a bit.

"Two men bombed a company building but luckily Iron man is there putting a stop to it" she said. They went live to the scene and zoomed in on Tony in his armor who was fighting the men. This made Pepper breath out a sigh of relief.

She stayed flipping the channels until it was time for her to get ready. She got dressed, grabbed her keys and headed to the garage. She hopped in her car and left the house. She called Samantha. "Hello?" Samantha said. "Hey so where do we meet?" She asked. "Oh you know that little bistro in the corner of 23rd?" She said. "Oh that place is good" Pepper said. "Really? I wanted to try it" Samantha said.

"Alright well I'm on my way" Pepper said. "Oh I'm going over right now" Samantha said. "Great" Pepper said. "Alright bye" Samantha said. "Bye" Pepper said then hung up. She was at a stop light a block away from the bistro. When the light turned green she only rolled a bit until a car flew by along with police. She braked aggressively. "Whoa! What the?" She said. She looked both ways first then pressed on the gas. "That was crazy" she said.

She parked and met up with Samantha. "Hey" she said. "Did you see that crazy car chase?" Samantha asked. "Yeah that guy almost crashed into me" Pepper said.

"I was walking to the the bistro from my car and like he made a crazy turn and almost ran me over!" She said. "It's funny how everything seems more peaceful when Tonys around but then once he leaves these guys think they could do whatever they want!" Samantha making a small chuckle. They took a seat outside the restaurant. "So how are you and Tony?" She asked. "We were doing good a few months ago..." Pepper said.

"Uh oh tell me all about it" Samantha said. "Well I know he's busy but he makes absolutely no time for me" Pepper said. "Did you tell him?" Samantha asked. "Why bother he doesn't listen to me anyway" Pepper said. "Aw Pepper, well why don't you just try telling him?" Samantha said. "I'll try but there's no guarantee he would listen" Pepper said.

"He spends so much time in his little cave he even eats there" she said. "We were supposed to do something this Saturday but he forgot and booked a trip to Spain" she said. "Wow...you know what song fits your life with him? Impossible" Samantha said. "Exactly" Pepper said.
