I probably won't continue this either, but enjoy the fluffiest of fluff.


"Pete?"

"Huh?" He looked up to see HG standing in the doorway, looking at him expectantly. "Oh hey, HG, What can I do for ya?" He quite liked having someone else around who he could talk about women with and would gladly give HG advice if she need it. She had that look on her face that said she did.

"If you aren't too busy, I require your expert advice," she said, looking down at her feet, actually embarrassed about needing advice. Pete frowned a little, this was obviously something serious. Usually she would just ask the question outright.

"You know you can ask me anything, HG. Hell you pretty much already have." Pete grinned as he remembered some of the funnier questions. "You haven't run out of porn to watch have you? I gave you some good suggestions."

Helena laughed, just as Pete had intended, and relaxed. "Not at all, I'm fairly sure there is a never ending supply of that particular indulgence. No, I wanted to ask you about," She paused and took a breath. "I wanted to ask you. What does one do for a first date? Or any other date for that matter."

Pete chuckled. "Is this your way of asking me out HG?"

"NO!" she cried, affronted at the suggestion. "I'm sorry, Pete. You are an attractive man, but my feelings are otherwise engaged. What I feel towards you is strictly friendship."

"Oh don't be so uptight, I know that. Plus I'm not blind, I've seen you mooning over Myka since you got here."

A faint blush formed on the British woman's face. "Am I really that obvious?"

"I'm pretty sure the only person who hadn't noticed was Myka. She is just about as dense as you are."

"Well!" Helena stalked from her position in the doorway and made as if she was going to punch Pete.

"Hey hey!" Pete jumped out of the way of the half-heated swing. "I'd apologize but it's true. Now, do you want my help or not?"

"I'm desperate to learn. I don't want to disappoint her."

Pete almost felt like squealing, he had hoped that HG and Myka would finally get together. The vibs they sent off had been driving him nuts. Instead though, he clapped his hands together and smiled evilly. "Well, as always, you've come to the right place to learn."

"Wonderful. Myka didn't really explain it well enough." HG sat down on the edge of Pete's bed, eager to learn.

Surprisingly and unbeknownst to Pete and HG, a slightly similar conversation was happening just down the hall.

"Hey, Claudia. Can I talk to you?"

"Sure thing Mykes, what's up?"

"Well, the thing is," Myka said, then paused to clear her throat. "HG, er, Helena and I are kinda maybe sort of going on a date and I didn't really want to talk to Pete or Leena about this, so I was wondering if we could have some girl talk?"

"Oh. My. GOD."

"What?"

"You have to tell me EVERYTHING! When did this happen? Who asked who? I'm so happy for you guys!"

Myka's eye widened with surprise at Claudia's enthusiasm. "Well, she and I were talking yesterday and I asked her."

"Aww that's so precious. You two are so adorbs. So when is the big day? Well maybe you aren't there quite yet, but when are you going on the date?"

"Sometime this weekend. I didn't give her a date, to be honest I'm still not confident that she won't cancel. I mean, why would she want to?" Myka looked down at her feet, one her hands coming up to touch her neck, her classic sign of nervousness. "She's met with so many important people and I'm just, me."

"Myka. Come here," Claudia demanded, standing up and opening her arms to envelop her friend in a hug. "You are amazing and there is no way in the world that HG wouldn't want to be with someone like you, ok?" Myka nodded into Claudia's shoulder and took a shaky breath.

"Thanks, Claud. I guess you are right."

"Dude, of course I'm right." At this Myka laughed and pulled away. Claudia grinned up at Myka, glad to see her equivalent to a sister feeling better.

"I don't even know what she would want to do though! I just feel so out of my league with her. Hell it isn't like Sam and I went on actual date dates. That would have been a little too obvious."

"Is this like technically your first date Myka?"

"No," Myka said shaking her head. "I did go on one in high school, but that was so long ago."

"Well I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure the point is just to spend time with the person you like. Just find something you share in common and do that. I'm sure the two of you share plenty of stuff."

"That's true. Thank you again Claudia. I'll come up with something." Her confidence renewed, Myka walked out of Claudia's room. She smiled to herself as she made her way to her room. Myka had never been the most confident person when it came to herself, but Claudia had helped, a lot more than Myka would probably ever admit. Lost in her thoughts Myka barely noticed where she was going until practically running over HG, who was making a quick exit from Pete's room.

"Oh, Myka, darling. Hello," Helena said distractedly.

"Helena! I didn't see you there." The two looked at each other and Myka grinned sheepishly. They both stood there, neither one entirely sure what to say. They hadn't really talked about the impending date, despite both looking forward to it. Myka crossed her arms and backed up to let HG pass. "Here, I'm in your way."

Helena smiled and reached out, tugging on one of Myka's arms. "You are never in my way." She succeeded in uncrossing Myka's arms and managed to capture one of Myka's hands. "In fact I was leaving Pete room after some," Helena paused, searching for the right word. "fascinating advice to find you."

Myka smiled and entwined her fingers with Helena's. "Do I want to know what kind of advice?"

"Well it pertained to this weekend, so you might."

"Oh? What's going on this weekend? Nothing too interesting, because I have plans," Myka teased.

Helena frowned. "Well those plans shall just have to be postponed as you and I are going on a date."

"I know, silly, I was just joking." Helena smiled and pulled Myka closer, using her empty hand to pull Myka's lips to hers. Myka hummed into the kiss and squeezed Helena's hand gently. Again Myka marveled at just how right this moment felt.

"Hey lovebirds, save it for later!" Pete yelled from his vantage point on his bed. Myka pulled away, startled.

"Oh shove it, Lattimer."

"Helena, you mean shut it," Myka automatically corrected.

"Yes thank you, Myka. I'll try to remember." Helena smiled and walked away, whisking Myka along with her. Pete smiled to himself, happy for his friends.
