"Are you all set?" Tommy asked Andy.
He smiled as he saw her sit down on her suitcase. Once, she thought she had done everything she could; she tried to zip it. Her efforts had worked. She smiled happily to herself.
"Yep. I hope I got everything." She mentally made a list in her head.
After Sam and her had officially broken up a year and a half ago, Andy had moved back in with her father. She had yet to buy her own place, but she was searching. Well, she had searched, but nothing had clicked with her.
He gave her a questioning look, "Are you sure? Don't forget your ticket." Tommy rushed to the kitchen to grab it.
One of the main reasons Andy had stayed with her dad so long; was to help with his sobriety. He had been sober for over six months; she was just making sure he saw it through.
As she entered the kitchen, suitcase in hand she looked at her dad. "Are you sure you're going to be okay?"
He handed her the ticket, "I'm going to be fine. I think I am going to go out with some of the guys."
She gave him a long look, "Dad-"
"It'll be fine. I promise."
He got out his wallet and handed her some extra spending money. "Here. For shopping or whatever."
She smiled, "Thank you."
Tommy had been invited to Oliver Shaw's wedding. Andy had wanted him to go, but he knew Andy needed some time alone. She needed to spend some time with her friends, but also with a certain someone.
"Tell Sammy 'hello' for me." Tommy told Andy, as she was about to walk out the door.
She whipped her head around, "Dad. Sam and I, are well, you know."
He quirked his eyebrow, "Also, tell him I enjoyed talking to him last Sunday."
"Wait? What do you mean?" Andy was now confused.
Tommy shrugged, "Sam and I do lunch every now and then."
Andy's eyes widened. "Dad, you and Sam have lunch? Why didn't you tell me?"
Tommy didn't see what the problem was, "I like Sam. Always have. We just talk and I know he has your best interest."
Andy rolled her eyes, "Dad, we've talked about this."
Tommy nodded, "I know."
Andy waited a moment. Usually her dad would keep going on and on about how great Sam was. She looked at him, while he just stared.
"Usually you keep going." She paused again, but he didn't press the subject, thankfully.
Tommy ushered her out the door, "Have fun, Andy. And stay out of trouble."
She kissed her dad on the cheek, "I will."

Oliver was in trouble. There was no way he was getting out of this one.
Sam glared at Oliver across the aisle.
"What?" Oliver asked.
"Really?"
Oliver shrugged, "I couldn't put her by herself."
Sam groaned, "It's a five hour flight to Vancouver."
Sam was beyond pissed. He'd be spending the next five hours next to Andy. Andy McNally. He couldn't believe this.
Oliver looked at him, leaning over the aisle to talk to him, "Everyone else had a partner." Oliver pointed to the rest of the plane.
Sam looked back on the plane to notice it was most of the division. And yes, most of them were already paired up. Somehow, he and Andy had gotten the bad end of the deal.
"Please, Sam. Cut her some slack. It's not like you didn't do anything." Oliver told him sternly.
Sam glared at him, before returning to staring straight ahead. Yes, he had been part of their break up, but he wasn't the one that gave up. He was still pissed at her. He was also sure she felt the same way. Hurt.
He tapped his foot on the ground. She was late. She had about five more minutes left to board, before the plane would leave with out her. He felt bad, he should have picked her up, but he was too stubborn. He knew this.
"Well she better hurry." Sam looked over to Oliver, who was now engaging in conversation with Zoe.
Zoe leaned across Oliver to talk to Sam, "She'll be here Sammy. You better be nice."
"I am-"
Just as he was about to finish his conversation, he saw Andy walk down the aisle. He took in a sharp breath. Five hours was going to be a long and hard time for him.
He saw her look down at her ticket. He could tell she immediately realized whom she was seated by.
"Zoe and Oliver." She smiled and looked over to the two.
She then looked at her own seat across the aisle.
She sighed, "Sam."
Sam smiled up from his seat, "McNally. Nice of you to join us."
He stood up and let her by, so she could sit by the window, "That was my seat-"
She turned to him, "I know, you hate to fly."
He felt a twinge of guilt, "Yea."
She settled in by the window seat.
Oliver then leaned across the aisle, again, "This is going to be awesome."
Sam gave him a glare, while Andy was lost in her thoughts.
~0~0~0~
"I wonder how this happened?" Andy asked Sam as they stepped onto the elevator.
Sam leaned against the wall, "I'm sure, Oliver had something to do with it."
Andy nodded, while she fixed her hair in the mirror, "That was a long flight."
"It was bumpy."
"Sam, there was no turbulence, whatsoever." Andy said as he let her exit the elevator first.
Sam's eyes widen, "My ears wouldn't stop popping."
Andy shrugged, "I tried to give you gum."
He grunted, "You know I hate sweet mint."
Andy looked at him over her shoulder, "I had peppermint, but you wouldn't take it."
This was true, but Sam was not going to give in.
As Sam and Andy finally reached their room 512, they both took in a sharp breath.
Somehow, Oliver had gotten the rooms mixed up and Sam and Andy had to share a room. Oliver claimed he had no idea how it happened.
"Ladies first," Sam told her as she walked in.
They both stopped dead in their tracks, eyes wide.
"You take the bed. I'll take the couch." Sam told her.
There was only one bed in the room, a king size bed.
Andy walked her luggage into their suite. She looked at Sam, who was still in the doorway. This was the icing on the cake. Not only where they in the same wedding party, they had been seated on the plane next to each other, and now they had a suite all to themselves.
"It's not like we haven't slept together before." She said, while ushering for him to put his luggage down on the bed.
Sam smirked, "We have slept together."
She thought about her statement and realized. "Sam, you know what I mean."
He put his luggage down on the bed, "Still sleep on the right side?"
She nodded, "Yea. Sam is this awkward?" She asked him bluntly.
He started rummaging through his suitcase, "That's what makes it fun."
He smirked, while she rolled her eyes.
~0~0~0~
"Sam?" Andy questioned from the bedroom.
Sam was brushing his teeth in the bathroom. Door open. No shirt on. Awkward.
Andy snuck in a glance before continuing on her mission, "I think we need to lay down some rules."
He spit out the remainder of his toothpaste, "Okie dok."
He took out his contacts and put on his glasses. Once, he walked out of the bathroom he noticed the barrier she had made.
She loved when he wore his glasses. She pulled her eyes away from him to look at the two pillows placed in the middle of the bed.
She began her explanation, "Okay, I think as long as you stay on your side of the bed, we will be good."
He nodded, "If that's what you want."
"It is." She lied.
He climbed into bed. He wasn't too tired, so he decided to turn on the television.
"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Andy questioned him.
She had to peek over the pillow because he was propped up on the backboard of the bed. It was his thing. She had gradually accepted it while they had dated.
He looked down at her, "Bachelor party."
She looked up at the ceiling, "Fun."
She was in a plain black camisole and shorts. The things she did to him were not good. He kept his eyes glued on the hockey game.
He was going to try with her tonight. He was going to take Oliver's advice and be nice. She deserved that and he did miss her. Every day he missed her.
"What about you?"
Andy was surprised he was keeping the conversation going. She smiled, despite herself. "Traci, Gail, Noelle, and I are going to take Zoe shopping."
She perched up on her elbows to get a better look at him.
He looked over at her, "Sounds fun. When's the big bachelorette party?"
She smirked, "The same time as the boy's. Except, while you guys are getting smashed, we will be enjoying ourselves."
Sam laughed, "I planned it. You know it's going to be good."
She smiled at him shyly, "I do not doubt your abilities, Sam Swarek."
"What can I say, I'm awesome." He smiled at her, before turning his attention back to the television.
She smiled, while laying back down and turning to her side. Maybe, this weekend wasn't going to be so bad.
A/N: Oh my! Sam and Andy in the same room! Love it! Okay, this is going to be a short sequel, but it was something I just had to write! We have the bachelor/bachelorette parties coming up...that should be interesting. And I probably did not do the best job of explaining this, but all of the division is here for the wedding. So everyone was paired off, of course, leaving Sam and Andy! And Tommy, of course, wants them back together! I wonder what happened to these two...we shall see! I hope you all enjoy this and please do not hesitate to review! Love hearing your thoughts! :)
