Hmm... Here comes chapter two. I'm so very sorry about the horrible delay since I was having issues with my grades at school... Plus that terrible writer's block... But please don't worry about me, I'm good as new now! Go on and enjoy!

Nat ;3

"Oh my gosh, I just can't believe that they're actually going to host a ball! Aren't the bad guys gonna bomb us if lots of SHIELD agents are in one place at the same time?!" Betty started to murmur to herself while Natasha stood in front the the wall, bumping her head into the wall frustratedly as the assassin had always hated balls and dresses. Pepper was fixing her nails with her nail sharpener while flipping through the pages of a dress magazine with her toes. On the other hand, Maggie and Jane were fussing over the pile of dresses placed all across Pepper and Tony's bed. "I think this would look awesome matched with a ruby necklace." Said Jane, pointing at a lime green dress with a few lighter-colored layers. "A sapphire would go with this one." Maggie mused while motioning at a pale yellow dress which reaches the knee, a dress that Pepper wore to the Stark Expo last year.

"Girls!" Called Pepper. Everyone except Natasha went over to the blonde and sat down beside her. "Natasha? You too-" Pepper was interrupted by a sudden explosion from the redhead. "THIS IS INSANE! THIS IS LIKE BUDAPEST ALL OVER AGAIN! UGH!" Screamed the assassin before stomping into the elevator, leaving their floor. "Uh oh." Betty whispered, while Jane tilted her head and looked at Pepper. "Whatever happened in Budapest definitely wasn't all about Clint and her on a bed." Remarked Pepper as Maggie swallowed hard and audibly, hearing the sounds of glass shattering downstairs.

"Okay, focus! We can do without Nat, she's throwing a tantrum and acting like a kid, I don't care... I mean, not now. Anyway, ladies," Pepper stood up and threw her nail sharpener on the table, "we're going shopping."


"THIS IS INSANE! THIS IS LIKE BUDAPEST ALL OVER AGAIN! UGH!" The scream upstairs made the guys all jump and Thor instinctively grabbed his hammer. The elevator doors slid open to reveal a messy haired, panting and furious Natasha Romanoff. "Uh, guys, I think you should take cover..." Clint started. The four others were dragged to a corner by Tony and Clint moved two steps closer to his girlfriend before she grabbed a glass vase and threw it to the ground. Clint jumped over the shards and grabbed Natasha, pinning her to the wall. "Calm down, Natasha. Let's go to our floor, okay?" Whispered Clint into her ear, the task proved difficult as she was struggling with all her might. She relaxed a bit when Clint finished what he said and followed him obediently. Once the doors to the lift shut, Tony started a round of laughter. The others stared at him tilting their heads in confusion. "What? That was entertaining!" Smirked Tony.

"No, it wasn't! Look at what she did to your glass vase." Said Steve, pointing at the shattered piece of artwork. "That doesn't cost much. Besides, I have a lot more around the building. I think I will only get them in boxes when Gabe is old enough to run around like insane." Tony looked at his son with a genuine smile on his face, which the guys rarely see.

"I hear they wear this object called "tuxedo" when they go to events." Said Thor. "Yes, and we are going shopping for our tuxedos." Grinned Tony. "Why can't we just wear the ones we have?" Asked Bruce, but no other guy was agreeing with him, since Steve had never even been to any important events while Thor didn't even know what a tux was. Tony, on the other hand, apparently had too much money to care. "Sigh, okay. We'll do it your way, Tony." Bruce gave in.

"It's simple. It fits you, it looks good and chicks go crazy when they see it." Instructed Tony. Steve nodded but Thor frowned. "Can't I just wear my armor?"

"Listen, Thunder boy, this ain't no Asgard, this is Midgard. And Midgard chicks dig sexy tuxes." Bruce laughed hearing what Tony had said. They all made up their minds soon and except for Tony himself, everyone feels bad for using his money.


"I swear on my boyfriend's name, I have never seen so many beautiful dresses!" Exclaimed Jane. Pepper simply laughed as if it was stuff she sees everyday. (In fact she does, she is Mrs Stark after all.) Maggie and Betty couldn't stop staring at what they find most beautiful. Betty was holding a jet-black ball gown with a bow at the waist and Maggie was deciding between a grey dress and a purple skirt. "Girls, what do you think?" Jane finally picked out a white knee-length dress with a red fur cloak to go with it. "That looks divine, Jane." Betty eyed the dress while walking towards the changing room.

"What do you think Natasha's gonna wear?" Asked Pepper from a changing room, the one next to Betty. "I don't know, but green definitely goes with her." Replied Betty. "Red is pretty good too," added Jane. "I sure hope she is fine though."

Hmm... What's going on with Natasha and Clint? It's all in the next chapter!
