Hey there guys! I know, I only have one other story, and it kind of sucked! Here I am, trying my hand at this once again!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters in this story, unless I do an OC, which is highly unlikely. If I happen to do so, I shall put another disclaimer on that chapter! These characters are owned by Marvel, and thanks to Stan Lee, Robert Downey Jr, and Gwyneth Paltrow, just to name a few, for bringing them to life! Anywho, thanks for even considering to read this! Also, sorry for the shortness :/


It was a Monday morning just like any morning. She had woken up and performed her usual sunrise yoga, while listening to her favorite music. Afterwards, she fed her Shitzu, Iggy, and got ready for work. Pepper Potts had come to expect the unexpected when working for someone as, ahem, spontaneous and eccentric as her boss-Tony Stark. She had come to a point in her life where nothing surprised her, besides his unusual bouts of kindness and sincerity.

As she pulled into the driveway in front of his house, and was greeted by JARVIS, she began to go over the plan for the week, and go over her notes for the Board of Directors meeting in her head. However, what caught the 'always-observant' woman off guard, was in fact, said boss. As she walked into the house, she was bombarded by the man himself nearly running her over.

"Pepper! Im glad you're here! I have some news!" he said excitedly.

With an exasperated sigh, she decided to humor him. " What is this news? Please make it quick because we have a very busy schedule this we-"

" We're going on a road trip! Just me and you and the good ole' U S of A!" he interrupted, while continuing to throw, as it would appear to Pepper, random objects that would suddenly grab his interest, into assorted suitcases.

"What? We don't have the time for a vacation! Do you realize how long it took me to arrange the meetings for this week? Not to mention the gala this Friday. Besides this would be completely un-professional!"

"Oh, don't give me that old Professionalism card, Potts. You and I both know that we've been under a lot of stress lately, due to my, um, jaunts in the Middle East. I planned this for the both of us to enjoy ourselves, not to mention you get to spend like, two weeks with the hottest man on the face of the Earth, according to GQ 2009."

Pepper rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

" Oh stop stroking your own ego! Besides, you can't make me do anything. I have a little thing called, my own free will!"

" You mean the thing that's nonexistent when you're me? And that's not the only thing that needs stroking."

Tony waggled his eyebrows suggestively at her while packing the last of his things.

Pepper blushed then stamped her foot with an agitated huff, knowing good and well that whatever she said, her idiotic man-child of a boss would have a witty reply.

" Did you just stamp your foot at me, Potts? I thought that only happened in movies. Anyway! Go put your little tush back into your car, and go pack! I'll pick you up in say, an hour or two? Yeah? Great! "

With a thump, he slammed the lid down on his third and final suitcase and proceeded to put it by his other various baggage, effectively closing the argument. Pepper just stood there continuing to fume over her boss's latest idiotic idea.

" Even if I say no, you're going to buy me a suitcase full of clothes and cancel the meetings aren't you?" She said with a sigh that implied that she was quickly losing her will to fight.

" Absolutely. Now go get packed while I take care of some things. I'll see you in a few, Peps!"

And with that, he practically skipped downstairs to do God-Knows-What.

Thinking about what just happened, and still a little confused by it, Pepper grabbed her recently discarded briefcase, and proceeded to drive home and mull over the thought of what was most likely going to be a very hectic, yet unforgettable week.


Thanks again for reading this. Reviews are much appreciated, considering my self confidence over writing is incredibly low. Constructive Criticism is also apprectiated. If you catch any grammatical errors, please let me know! I'm also about to start back to school so I won't update as frequently as some of the other authors.

Let me know if I should continue this or not. Thanks again!

XOXO, StarkObsessed :)
