Time frame: Years after "From Dead to Worse"

Disclaimer: I don't have any claim on any characters in the Sookie Universe. Please don't sue me. The other characters are my own creation and just wanted to play with them for a while.

A/N: I promised my BFF, EricDreamer, I would do another fluff piece so here you go.

"Okay, when the music starts I think you boys should take your ties and jackets off…" began Miles, the instructor, with an extremely prominent lisp.

"Whose idea was this to have this fool?" said Eric in disgust.

"Well Sookie said that Claude recommended him." Sam began.

"Claude? The gay fairy? What does he know about what women want?" shouted Eric.

Sam shrugged. "He's a very successful stripper. Plus, this man comes highly recommended."

"He's wearing a fucking ascot! Who wears that anymore?" shouted a very pissed blonde Viking jerking his arm towards Miles. To his credit, the man looked nonplussed and actually rolled his eyes.

"Eric…" said Bill in his smooth voice. "Why don't we just get the timing over with and then he can leave? We can practice the rest without him."

"I'm sure the girls aren't having such a hard time with their routine…" grumbled Sam.

"They get along surprising well, don't they?" confirmed Bill with a small smile. "I can see Ally getting on with Sookie but Pam…"

"My child is very discerning. But you are correct, Ally seems to have no problem getting along with anyone she chooses." said Eric. He was starting to calm down turning thoughtful.

"She's a sweetheart." said Sam nodding. Bill growled.

"She's mine."

"Oh, give it a rest Bill" snapped Eric. "We know." Then adding playfully, "At least for now." he winked. Bill's eyes narrowed and Sam tried to stifle a chuckle.

"Is Ally a telekinetic?" asked Eric out of the blue.

"She's told me that she has a gift. That was all." said Bill quickly. Both Eric and Sam seemed to be mulling that over.

"She didn't elaborate?"

"No, but I notice that she heals remarkably fast. Plus…"

"Plus?"

"She doesn't taste human." Sam made a sort of gagging noise.

Suddenly aware that there was a stranger amongst them they all turned to look at Miles.

Before they could approach him, the woman in question walked through the door.

"Hey fellas, I didn't mean to interrupt, but I left my makeup bag on the counter." she said walking quickly with one hand shielding her eyes. "I promise I'm not here to spy…"

She grabbed the bag, and turned to give Bill a quick kiss. She smiled at Eric and Sam and stopped in front of the instructor. She tilted her head and looked at him as he reached over to touch her necklace. He gave her a slight bow. She leaned over and gave him a quick hug and whispered, "Nice to see you again, Miles." and out the door she went.

Miles crossed his arms over his chest smiling smugly.

"Now where were we?"
