AN: I don't own them. I only wish that I did.

Chapter 1: Mission Launch
The mission was simple: get in, acquire the supplies, and get out, minimal damage was preferable. The fact that the mission was getting groceries for their 4th of July barbeque was just a small detail. June and Jolene had revised the list three times before the men were allowed to leave. Aisha opted to stay and help Julie practice her headers for soccer camp.

Pooch hated the van most days. It was big, ugly and no matter what he did, guzzled gas like it was going out of style. Today, however, he loved the fact that the van was huge. The gas thing still got on his nerves, but you couldn't have everything.

With Mojito on the dashboard, Pooch was ready to go. If only that were true for the rest of the guys. Cougar was ready, but he was always ready first. The real problem was Jensen. He kept insisting to Clay that he needed his laptop for the mission.

"What if we need to get surveillance footage?" Jensen asked.

"We're going to the store Jensen, not infiltrating an enemy stronghold," Clay growled.

Evidently this was not enough f a reason for Jensen to quit arguing. As Jensen took a deep breath to begin his next tirade on why his laptop was essential, Clay quickly grabbed him around the waist and threw Jensen over his shoulder.

"Wait! What are you doing?" Jensen squeaked.

"Getting a move on," Clay responded.

Pooch and Cougar shared a look as Clay dumped Jensen into the back of the van.

None of the guys noticed Jolene, June, and Julie laughing on the front porch. Or Aisha hiding a grin behind her hand as they pulled away from the house.

Coming soon: finding the right kind of mustard, fighting for the last watermelon, and Cougar's hat
