Time Frame: I would say this is between 'All the Worlds a Stage' and 'Unfinished Business'. Some what of an AU, but more like a "What Might or Could have Happened."..

PART 1:


"Wake up Amanda?"

Lee tugs at her shoulder... Desperate, he tries once more and smoothes his index finger along her neck...

"Amanda... Hey... wake up"..

"No.. no.. Lee.. Not yet... too good... five more.. Please.."

Her words are broken phrases which make little if any sense, but Lee takes the hint and walks patiently back to his desk...

'What could be so good in the little head of hers that would make her so talkitive while dreaming'.. He thought to himself...

'Wait.. when does Amanda sleep at work.. we were only up till 12 last night watching that movie..' his thoughts continued only to be broken by a soft shuffle from the desk just to his left...

His sleeping beauty finally made her presence back it to the world of spies, lies, and intrigue, and even with her hair all fluffed in many directions, most covering her eyes, and look of 'Where the Hell am I' etched on her face, to Lee she still looked gorgeous...

And if he hadn't been there to witness it, he wouldn't believe it himself, because that is exactly what popped out her mouth..

"Where the hell am I?"

Had he heard her right? That if anything, it sure sounded like Amanda, but those words, straight forward and to the point, no holds bar, just came right out of her mouth... But it sure didn't take long, and suddenly she had a look on her face that gave dead away to embarrassment...

Her long, lightly tan finger made no time like the present and fastened over her mouth, as if she was afraid another word would escape her lips that had no business coming out.. Her soft, now amber brown eye's held no signs of just being in the sandman's care...

'Instead she looked like a deer, cute deer at that, trapped in a on coming trucks' headlights' Lee thought.

"Oh.. My Gosh.."

Her head dip low, forcing her hand to slide to her forhead. She then shook her head slightly side to side in disblief, eventually giving away to a giggle as she laughed at her own exspence.

"Lee, I didn't just say what I think I just said... I mean... I just...Ohh nevermind.. hehhe.."

"Amanda my dear, if had't been here to witness it, I wouldn't beleive it if you told me... And to answer your question, yes you did just say that...amongst other things.." 'Ut oh' he thought..

That last little comment he meant to keep to himself, but for some unexplainable reason it popped out and he knew he was in for it now... The interrogation worse then any KGB Operative could ever dish out... He screwed up and he knew it...

"Amongst other things??? What was that supposed to mean? Ohh geeess... What else did I say?"

'Oh Sh*t... here it comes, I knew it... Damn it Stetson when will you ever learn to keep you mouth shut..' Lee scoulded himself, as Amanda continued...

"Come on Lee... Spill it, what did I say?"

'Think Stetson, think... Come on, say something so she doesn't get mad. Use one of those brilliant lines of your's that always got you out of a jam.. Wait! This is Amanda we're talking about, she'll see right through me.. Shoot, might as well come clean..'

"Lee... Did you hear a single word I just said? Tell me... Please..."

'Oh dear God, she's got me...That look, melt me where I sit, my little Amanda did it again..' his mind rambled on...


Giving up on being vocal, Amanda joined him in the mind game...

'What in God's name is going in with him... I've never seen so many expressions shift on one person's face with in a matter of minutes... Boy I must have really must embarrased myself to cause the all mighty Scarecrow such bewilderment..'

By the end of her thought her patients had run out, one hand forcefully messaged her forehead in frustration while the other tapped wildly on her desk.

She truely had to admit though, his will to take on her rambling sure had got stronger, he made it past her line of questions, which in itself was a feat.. What finally broke him this time was the hard rythmic taps of her finger nails against the wood, he knew then it was either spill it or the next time he'd be kissing those lips would be when ever Amanda felt he suffered enough...
