"YES YES YES!" Shepard screamed before he jumped to his feet chucking the controller.

Garrus looked at his friend while holding the other game controller. "Are you ok?" He asked.

Shepard whirled on him "In your face In your Face Who's the man?" Shepard ranted over and over.

Garrus regarded Shepard as you would a mental patient. "Shepard um... should I get Chakwas?"

"I just popped a cap in your ass SON!" Shepard yelled throwing up his hands and making little pistols shooting towards the air.

Garrus reached for his com to call Chakwas when Jokers voice came over the Overhead "Um Commander... We've got a situation on the Citadel. Apparently they have all five women in custody."

Shepard caught unprepared by the news tripped and jammed his toe against the table. He cursed and hopped on one foot holding his sore toe as Garrus laughed at him.

******************C-SEC Interrogation Room***********

Shepard rubbed the bridge of his nose as he stared at the six women. He had found Miranda and made her sit with them. She was just as responsible since she was supposed to watch Jack and prevent just this kind of incident from happening.

He looked at each of the five women.

Jack was covered head to toe in floor. Miranda looked like someone on trial and about to be executed. Kasumi just stared at a wall unmoving. Tali was shaking and wringing her hands furiously. Kelly and Samara appeared to be covered in... he looked closer Pasta? And why was Kelly smiling? He'd have to think about that one for sure. Samara had her usual calm attitude going... though he was sure he saw some worry in her eyes.

"You've been off the Normandy for two hours TWO HOURS! And you cause utter chaos within that short time." He said looking at the women.

"Shepard we were hungry" Tali spoke up surprising the other women.

"There's being hungry than there's being insane!" He said.

Before anyone else could speak he started on each of the women.

"Jack... you traumatized a food clerk and thanks to you he's moving back to earth. He was heard screaming that crazy bald women are trying to kill him in the Citadel Mental Counselor's Center." He said looking at said woman.

She growled and was about to reply when Shepard focused his gaze on Miranda.

"And You... You were supposed to watch her. What The hell were you doing while she was causing all this?" He asked.

Miranda's mind shifted back to her shopping for Silk Undergarments after Jack had run off. He thoughts were interrupted as Shepard's gaze landed on Kelly

"I'm surprised Kelly.. I'm surprised at you and Samara.. Clearing out an entire food court? What were you thinking?" He shifted his focus to land on the remaining women in the room.

"I'm not surprised at you!" He said looking at Kasumi "But I'm extremely surprised at you Tali!" He said.

Tali lost it and started bawling her eyes out.

Shepard was caught off guard and even more surprised as one by one all the other women broke down crying. Miranda looked at the other women with an eyebrow raised.

"Listen girls?... Girls?..." He said trying to get their attention but they kept bawling.

He was about to make his way over to them when the door opened and in stepped "Ashley?"

All the women immediately stopped as Ashley Williams made her way into the room. She strolled right up to Shepard.

"I'm sorry about Horizon." She said and before he could reply she grabbed him and pulled him into a kiss. Shepard was caught off guard and it showed on his face.

He heard a loud gasp and broke the kiss to look at the women.

All were staring with pure rage on their faces at Ashley even Miranda.

Ashley turned and looked at the women than back to Shepard "Um... did I miss something?" She asked.

Shepard saw all of them slowly getting to their feet "Ashley RUN!" He screamed shoving her towards the door as all six women jumped over the table and ran after Ashley leaving a very perplexed Shepard in their wake.

He keyed his com "Mordin... we need to talk?" He said.

A/N: I have to say that while Ashley really isn't my favorite character. I just felt it would be more funny to have Ashley in this situation than Liara. Even though Liara is my favorite from the games along with Tali and Miranda. Thank you everyone for reading and reviewing. It's been an honor so far and an inspiration that so many are enjoying this story.
