Author's Note: Spin off story based on "Even Fond Memories Can Come Back To Haunt You...".

Also, unlike in "Even Fond Memories Can Come Back To Haunt You..." Wesker didn't leave a note, Claire doesn't die, they don't save Steve yet, so they get a free day to have some fun instead!

Oh yeah, Jill woke up Chris after he had a bad dream and Claire later informed Jill that Chris had the hots for her. This is what happens if none of that bad stuff had happened to the group.

" " denote speech, whilst ' ' denote thought.

So in other ways, consider this a lighthearted sequel to Chapter Twelve - "The Letter".

On with the story!

-Chapter One-


-Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliviera's Hotel Room, 3:00 PM-


Jill Valentine smiled as she looked into the mirror, pleasantly surprised at the reflection. She had decided to wear her light brown sweater, complete with a medium sized black skirt. Jill never was into dressing up as she was more of a casual wear type person.

'I wonder if he'll like it...' she though to herself with a slight blush as she admired her figure.

She still couldn't believe her situation. Just a few hours ago while they were eating breakfast Claire made Jill realize that Chris Redfield, Jill's long time partner in the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team, was infatuated with her. Jill had always thought of Chris as a great friend and partner, but when Claire had made her realize that Chris was thinking of Jill as more then a friend, it made Jill's heart beat faster then usual.

And it wasn't beating faster then normal because they were stuck in a zombie-infested mansion again...

Or stuck in a zombie infested city, whilst being chased by a Nemesis again...

It was beating faster then usual because Chris Redfield had feelings for her...for the first time ever...

Chris Redfield...the first person she met in Raccoon City when she joined up with the S.T.A.R.S....her first and only partner...

She could still remember how often they would have all nighters at the police station, just by themselves, doing paperwork and stealing glances at each other, and then after it was all done Chris would offer to give her a ride home, or the other way around if Chris was too sleepy from staying up.

Sometimes they would even hang out in the S.T.A.R.S. office after all their work was done and talk about family and life. On a few occasions he even talked about his sister Claire, how she was doing, and would show her to family pictures that he kept in his wallet.

They even joked about how Captain Wesker never took off his sunglasses, as if he was a nocturnal monster or something.

Now usually Jill was the type who wasn't really interested in relationships, especially with Umbrella to take care of, but Chris was a special exception.

She remembered fondly how Chris had risked his life to save her from her jail cell when Wesker had captured her...if it wasn't for Chris, she might've gone *ka-boom* with the rest of the mansion.

"Whoa! What's the special occasion chica?" Carlos said sarcastically as he entered the room and noticed Jill's clothes, "You plan on going somewhere tonight or something?"

She turned around and smiled broadly, mentioning something about going on a date, which resulted in her getting a rather odd look on Carlos' face.


-Chris Redfield and Claire Redfield's Hotel Room, 3:00 PM-


"Explain this to me again Claire?" asked Chris, as he was being outfitted by his sister.

"Stay still Chris!" grunted Claire, as she struggled with his tie, "It's hard enough putting some decent casual clothes on you without you constantly asking questions..."

"Then why the tie then?" he remarked, as he attempted to get it off, "And why haven't you answered my question yet?"

"Because she'll think the tie is sexy!" she replied a matter of factly, "And because you won't like that answer?"

"Why would she think a tie is sexy?" asked Chris with a stern expression his face, "And why wouldn't I like the answer you'd give me, Claire?"

She smiled nervously at him, still trying her best to keep what she had told Jill a secret.

"What did you do this time Claire?" he asked, sighing a little as he put his hands at the back of his head, "Is it worse then last time?"

"Which last time are you referring to?" she replied innocently.

"That certain last time when you visited me in Raccoon City and insisted on cooking dinner for me, Rebecca, and Jill, and then somehow managed to light half of my kitchen on fire?" he replied, wincing as he remembered how embarrassing it was.

"Ooohh...that last time!" she said nervously with a small laugh, "Uh...you still remember that, huh?"

"Let's just say it's hard to forget when half your kitchen looks like charcoal..." he said sarcastically as he tried to take the tie off, "So Claire, why am I going with Jill again?"

"Because it's a date?" she replied nervously.

"What?" he replied slowly, with a mortified look on his face as his eyes widened.

"I said it's a date...?" she said meekly.

"Why would Jill be going on a date with me, sis?" he said, confused and scared.

"Because I told her that you had the hots for her?" she said quietly, which resulted in an angry and embarrassed expression from her brother.

He wasn't really angry though, but he was quite embarrassed.

Especially since he had liked Jill Valentine for quite a long time. He could still remember the first time he had met her, wearing her blue S.T.A.R.S. uniform and that cute hat of hers, looking quite shy as she entered the office for the first time.


They had soon become quite friendly and close in a short amount of time. After that, it was the high point of the day for him when most S.T.A.R.S. and R.P.D. officers left the station for the night, while they stayed behind to do paper work and such that was part of their duties. Chris remembered how he'd steal a glance or two at Jill, and be quite surprised to have a glance or two taken by Jill in return. He would even offer to give a ride home many nights, despite the fact that half of the time he was way too sleepy, which resulted in her giving him a ride, much to his embarrassment.

"Thanks Claire." Chris muttered happily as he rearranged his shirt, which had the S.T.A.R.S. logo on it, despite the fact that Umbrella could spot him easily with it.

"What was that Chris?" she asked, as she tended to his tie still.

"Nothing sis." he grunted, as she gave him a playful punch to his arm.


-In The Hallway, 3:05 PM-


"Hi Jill!" Chris said excitedly as she got out of her room.

"Hi Chris..." she said smoothly in an almost whisper, which made him shiver in a good way.

"Wow..." he remarked as he looked her over and held her hand, "You look...great...."

"Thanks Chris...you don't look too bad yourself..." she said, blushing and giggling a bit.

"What's so funny?" he asked, as he was lost gazing into her eyes.

"Claire dressed you up, huh?" she said while attempting to stop her giggles as she pointed to what Chris was wearing, which was a white S.T.A.R.S. t-shirt, dark brown leather jacket, blue jeans and...a tie, which effectively ruined what would otherwise be considered attractive.

Blushing furiously, he managed to take the tie off and throw it back into his room.

"Why did she put a tie on you?" she asked, still giggling as she hooked her arm on his.

"Something about it being sexy..." he mumbled incoherently as they walked out of the hotel hallway.


-Sidewalks of Paris, 3:08 PM-


"So Jill, Claire told you my big secret, huh?" he said, his cheeks reddening slightly as he titled his head towards Jill's.

"Chris, if she didn't tell me would I be here right now?" she replied with a small wink and a smile, "It's so nice to know..."

"Oh really?" he said, surprised at what he was hearing.

"Well yeah...I didn't think you felt that way Chris..." she said as she hooked her arm closer to his as they kept on walking, "Especially since I sent out so many signals and didn't get any replies..."

"Huh?" he said with a confused look on his face, "You sent out womanly signals and I didn't pick up?"

"Bingo." she said with a grin as she tapped him on the nose.

"Err...I sent out...uh...manly signals and I didn't get any response either...what's up with that?" he said with a sly smile, attempting to win at the little game she was playing.

"Simple...only womanly signals count since all guys try flirting with anything that resembles a girl." she said a matter-of-factly.

"Oh." he replied, dumbfounded by her answer.

"Hey, wait a minute, I'm not like all other guys!" he exclaimed, hoping she wasn't thinking of him as one of those guys that think about sex all the time. He was definitely not like that, especially since he had spent quite an amount of time chasing away guys that were like that from his sister Claire.

She stopped walking and went in front of him, smiling softly as she said, with a peck on the cheek, "I know Chris...that's what makes you so sweet..."

He blushed immensely as he put his hand to where she kissed him. She smiled at him and looked away a bit, blushing as well. Smiling broadly with happiness, he put that arm around her and kept on walking again, noticing a quaint flower job in the distance.

'This is your first date with Jill, so try to make it as romantic as you can Redfield!' he thought to himself, as he thought of a great idea, 'Flowers, eh Redfield? You're a genius!"

"Hey Jill, there's a flower shop! Why don't I get you a rose?" he said with a grin as he held her hand and ran with her to the flower shop, excited like a kid in a candy store.

'Flowers...? Aww...so sweet!' she thought to herself, as she ran along side him, happy to have him holding her hand, 'I just hope our first date isn't riddled with hilarious hi-jinks that belong on a sitcom...'
