Pizza and a Game

          "Come on Syd! You have to come!" Francie pleaded to her best friend. There was a huge Christmas Eve party at the restaraunt, and France knew that Sydney hadn't been on a date in while, so she wanted her to join.

          "I'm not I the mood." Francie gave Sydney the puppy dog look and batted her eyes. "That's not going to work this time! I just want to stay home and have a movie fest. Why don't you join ME?"

          "Stay home on Christmas Eve? What are you, psychotic? Who are you and what have you done to my best friend? You hate staying home." All of a sudden the phone rang, stopping Francie in the middle of her rant. "This isn't over." Sydney just laughed and watched Francie answer the phone. "Hello?"

          "Joey's Pizza?"

          "Yea, this is Joey's Pizza, will this be for here or to-go?" Francie blared into the receiver. There was a long pause, so she continued. "What the hell do you want? You've called this place so many times and every time it's wrong . . . GET THE PICTURE! THIS ISN"T JOEY'S PIZZA! IT NEVER WAS AND NEVER WILL BE!" With that France slammed the phone down.

          Sydney stood up, and walked out of the room with a grin on her face. What could Vaughn want? I haven't had a mission in three days, and he already briefed me on its success?

          "Where are you going?" Francie asked after she had cooled down? Sydney had changed from her bathrobe and slippers to a pair of athletic pants, and a long sleeved t-shirt.

          "Out for a run." Francie had already sat down on the couch, and turned on the TV. "Go to the party! I'm fine! I'll be back in about an hour! I might stop by." Sydney clicked the TV off and lift Francie out of her relaxed position. "GO!"

          Thirty minutes later, Sydney jogged into the warehouse. "Sorry I'm late, Francie was being a pain." She panted.

          "That's fine." Vaughn replied. He walked over to the crate and leaned against it.

          "So what's up? I don't have another mission do I? I just got back." Sydney was taking in what Vaughn was wearing, a pair of tight blue jeans and a gray sweater.

          "Oh, umm, no, there's no mission. I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas, seeing as I won't see you tomorrow. Was I interrupting something?" Vaughn furrowed his brow, the way he did when he was concerned or worried about her. Only her.

          "Oh, well, Merry Christmas to you, too." Sydney shot a flirtatious smile at Vaughn and continued. "And, no, you weren't, I was just curious. Oh, by the way, sorry about what Francie said to you on the phone, it's been a rough week."

          "You're telling me." Vaughn mumbled softly, yet loud enough for Sydney to hear.

          "Why, what happened?" By now she was sitting up on the same crate the he was leaning against. Vaughn didn't answer for a few moments.

          "Oh, it's nothing." Vaughn lowered his head, "Why would you care?" he thought, or spoke, he couldn't tell. It was as if his mind was all jumbled up, but that's how it always got around Sydney.

          "I wouldn't have asked if I didn't care."

          "Well, first off, I almost had a heat attack when I lost contact when you were in Bolivia. Then, the whole thing with Marshall, and then Alice and I broke up, again." Sydney had to look down at the ground when she heard this, so that he wouldn't see her smile.

          "I'm so sorry. You two seemed perfectly happy at the bar the other day."

          "Well, actually, I took her there to break up with her." Why am I telling her this, she doesn't want to know! Vaughn asked himself. Deciding to change the subject, he asked what she had planned for the night.

          "Oh, nothing really. There's this huge party at the restaurant that Francie wants me to go to, so I'm going to stop by there later. You?"

          "There's a King's game on tonight, so I'm thinking I'm going watch that. Well I guess you better go. Have fun." Vaughn said, and Sydney jumped off the crate.

          "You, too. The King's should beat Anaheim tonight." She smiled again, as he looked up at her in amazement.

          "You follow the King's?" Vaughn was started by the fact that Syd knew who they were playing tonight.

          "Being a spy isn't my whole life." With saying that Sydney left, leaving Vaughn in shock.
