Summary: Ash and Mary-Lynnette love story.

I finally got all the parts. I had huge amounts of reviews when I posted it up last time, lets see if I can meet that expectation. This will be PG- 13until I get to the parts that are supposed to be higher than an R. Enjoy it!

Part One: Mary-Lynnette's POV

"Aelan, you stand here, and Aislin stand over there. We're going to get this cheer right before we leave here tonight. The game is tomorrow night. The whole town will be there, including the judges to see if we will get into the tournament," I said as I spoke to the cheerleaders.

"Mare, I can't yell anymore and my butt hurts from these guys pinching it every time they throw me in the air," Aislin whined.

"Yeah Mare, don't worry, this always happens before the game, we'll get it right when the time comes!" Aelan reassured.

"Fine, I have to go to the library anyhow," I said giving up.

We had put on our uniforms, which were these black tops and short skirts sequenced with gold. Across the breast line the letters WOLF. Imagine it! It reminds me of Jeremy every time.

"Bye everyone, and practice just a little bit at home and before you go to bed!" I yelled at them as they all headed towards the locker room; girls in one-direction boys in another.

"Mare, Mare, give it up," Kestrel teased as she jumped up from the bleachers from where she'd been watching them practice.

"Vampires and hearing," I mumbled to myself.

"Right, hearing amazingly well!" she said as she shook her head in laughter.

"You know, sometimes I hate being captain of the squad!" I complained as I placed my hand on my hips and stared at Kestrel as she made her way down to me. "I never should have taken that idiotic bet."

"It's your own fault for even becoming a cheerleader!" said Kestrel in disgust.

"I couldn't help it! I made a bet with Aelan and lost. This was her payback at me!" I said grabbing my bag.

"Aren't you going to change?" Kestrel smiled.

"What's the point? I can do it just as easily at home!"

"Yeah well," she said ending the conversation.

It was then that it suddenly dawned on me. My eyes lifted in suspicion. "What are you doing here?"

"Can't I just come to see a good friend practice for her cheers?" she asked innocently.

"You can, but, well it's not you so I don't think so," I said as we started walking towards the parking lot.

"Well Rowan, Jade, Mark, and I have a tiny bit of a surprise for you," I almost had to strain my ears to hear her as she started to walk a little faster.

"Oh, and what is that?" I asked trotting to keep up with her.

"You'll see," she said as she began to run.

"KESTREL! THIS IS NOT FUNNY!" I said as I dashed after her, my legs forming a V as I ran.

We ran all the way from the field to the parking lot and then towards Kestrel's new car, a shiny, black Porsche. Black, go figure! I saw a couple of people standing around it. I recognized Mark, Jade, and Rowan, but not the other three.

"Who is that?" I asked as I caught up with Kestrel.

"Whom do you think?" she asked not at all out of breath.

"I don't know," I said as I struggled to catch my breath.

We got there 5 seconds later. I bent down and put my hands to my knees so that I could control my breathing.

"You know Kessie, you need to pack down on how fast you go and remember you're a vampire," I puffed out.

"Hello Mare," said a familiar voice.

I jerked my head up and just stared.

"A-a-ash, what are you doing here?" I stuttered, "I-I-I-mean hi."

He looked down at me and smiled. Which made it even harder to breathe. I pulled myself up to my full length.

"Is that all I get?" he asked.

"What do you expect?" I said glaring at him.

"Well..." he said.

"Just stop before you begin," Mark warned rolling his eyes.

Just as he said that I jumped into Ash's arms, catching him off guard slightly, wrapping my legs around his waist, my arms around his neck, and my lips on his and kissed him.

"Whoa!" he muffled out.

My mouth smothered his "Whoa".

"Well, I guess he got what he wanted," said another voice.

"Shut up Quinn," Ash said as he tried to speak around my kiss, which I was making impossible as I started to open his mouth.

"Jeez Mare!" said Mark as he glared at Ash.

"There," I said as I let myself drop from Ash's arms "I'm done."

Everyone just stared at me.

"What? Oh god! Even I can have surprising emotions and actions once in a while! Well, I have to go to the library. Come over to my house?" I said talking to Ash.

"Yeah sure," he replied slightly in a daze.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Well damn, after that kiss.don't you want to know why I'm here? I mean my promise was that I would come back in a year and I still have half a year to go," he said.

"You can tell me later tonight! I really have to get to the library. Promise you'll come over tonight?" I said as I bent over to pick up my bag that I had dropped it behind me when I jumped in his arms.

"Definitely," he said as I stood up and got him looking at my butt right when he said that.

I smirked at him and walked to my car.

"Seeya then," I said as I jumped in and drove away.
