A/N: Hi everyone! I know that this ship is pretty much dead, but I still love them more than anything, so I'm going to write them even if I'm the only one left...I'd be so happy if they ended up together!

Anyway, this is set sometime before Ward is found out as Hydra, back when the team was all happy together (remember that?).

Please review and enjoy!

"I guess I...I just don't understand why us, sir." Leo sputtered, more confused than he had ever been before.

Skye, standing next to him, added, "Yes, don't you think that maybe Ward and I would be a better match? Or maybe Fitz could go with Simmons." Fitz nodded approvingly beside her.

Coulson leveled them both with a stern gaze - it looked odd on his normally open face. "I need both of your skills on this mission." He crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. "This is not a discussion," he added, "It's an assignment."

"And not at all open to discussion?" Fitz asked, trying not to show how nervous he felt about this unorthodox assignment.

"No," Coulson smiled. "Just try and have some fun with it - think of it as a vacation." Picking up some papers on the desk in front of him, he started reading the top sheet of the stack.

Taking that as a dismissal, Fitz followed Skye silently out of the office, his mind reeling.

...

"Okay, turn left there," Skye instructed, sitting in the passenger seat of the car they had been given for the mission. She was squinting at the map, her brow furrowed. She had the same half frustrated, half confused expression on her face everytime he was able to sneak a glance at her.

"Are you sure?" he asked dryly, well aware that this would be her third attempt to find this particular turn.

"Yes?" she said, sounding a little unsure. Then, she muttered quietly under her breath, "You'd have thought that SHIELD could have given us a GPS along with the car."

She obviously hadn't intended for him to hear that, but he laughed anyway.

Shooting him a surprised look, she joined in.

It feels good,Leo thought, gently guiding the steering wheel to turn onto the street she had indicated, Good to spend time off the Bus and to get to know Skye a little better.

The woman was still a bit of a mystery to him - she was open and easy to talk to, but for some reason, he was always so nervous around her. It made no sense to feel both comfortable and uneasy around someone, but somehow, being around Skye managed it.

"It's that one," Skye interrupted his thoughts, pointing to their right.

Immediately, Leo slowed the car and brought it up against the curb. Putting it into park, he looked at the house.

The trim was a light blue, the house tan, with lots of windows. There was a small lawn, obviously frequently mowed and watered because it appeared to be in good shape, with a cobblestone pathway leading to the front door. In short, it looked about the same as every other house on the street - a typical suburban neighbourhood.

"It looks nice," Skye commented as they both got out of the car and shut the doors.

"Yeah," Leo said. He locked the car and then pulled his new license out of his pocket, making sure he remembered his new last name correctly. "Leo Smith," he muttered, committing it to memory. It wasn't hard - Smith was about the least creative name SHIELD could have come up with.

"Right," Skye nodded, remembering. "Well," she turned to him, her eyes dancing, "Ready to unpack, Mr. Smith?"

He grinned at her nervously. "Ready if you are, Mrs. Smith."
