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. I kind of deviated from the silly for a moment. I am trying to fill some gaps left by Family. Sorry if it ruins your groove. I promise the next chapter will be back to being fun.

After rehearsal, Bill drove to Ally's. He hadn't seen much of her this past week and he missed her. When he pulled up, Clancy was just walking out the door. Ally was there at the entrance way. Bill watched in shock as Clancy awkwardly leaned over to give her a hug. Clancy, one of the most ill tempered vampires he knew was hugging her. She pulled back and giggled. "Loosen up, Clancy. You'll hurt something." He shook his head and turned around walking to his car. Noticing Bill, he motioned his head in Ally's direction. Smiling and shaking his head again he got in his car and drove off.
Bill walked up to the doorway. As soon as she saw him, her face lit up and she shouted his name, throwing herself at him in a huge embrace. He held her tight lifting her slightly off the ground.
"I missed you Bill." she whispered, letting out a sigh. He set her back down and looked at her. "I missed you too, my darling." he said softly. She beamed. He knew she loved it when he called her that.
She ushered him inside and he sat down on the slipper chair in her living room. After locking the door she joined him and sat on his lap. She lay her head on his shoulder.
"How was rehearsal?" she asked. "Are you boys playing nice?"
He groaned. "You don't want to know." She giggled.
"Ally…"
"Hmm?"
"Does Clancy stay late here every night?"
"He usually leaves by midnight. He helps me clean up and stays around for awhile to make sure I'm okay. He's such a sweetie." she said as she played with the buttons on his shirt.
"Clancy is a very temperamental vampire. You should be careful."
"Oh, Bill. He is such a nice guy. I don't understand why everyone keeps telling me he's mean and dangerous. He's been nothing but kind to me."
"He is not normally that way to humans you know. He's not even that way to other vampires."
She shrugged. "Probably no one gives him a chance. You're not jealous are you?"
He thought about that for a moment. "No, I'm not," he replied sincerely. "Just concerned, that's all."
"Good." she said as she kissed him softly on his lips. Lifting her gently, he lowered her body onto the rug and continued to caress her lazily.
"Stay over?" she whispered, her warm hand on his face.
"I would love to, my darling but your house can't accommodate a vampire." he said sadly. She smiled.
"Wanna bet?" He paused to look at her. Her eyes were twinkling with mischief.
Rolling out from under him, Ally stood up and offered her hand. He took it and let her lead him upstairs to her room.
She gave him a sweet smile as she showed him the windows. They were light tight and shutter sealed.
"When did you do this?" he asked.
"Um, February 15th"
"Ally, that's the day after we met."
"Uh huh. Call it a hunch."
"Well it seems you thought of everything." he smiled as he pulled her to him.
"So you'll stay?"
"Yes, I'll stay" he said as they sank into the bed.

"Earth to Bill" shouted Miles irritably.
"Yes?"
"Which side?" What the hell was he talking about? Bill thought to himself. He gave Miles a blank look.
"Which side do you want to be on? Big, tall and dead has already chosen to be in the middle."
"I don't have a particular preference."
"The left side then."
Bill nodded and walked to take his place. Eric cast a sidelong glance at him.
"I spoke with Clancy today." he started. "He's very protective of your woman- quite disconcerting."
"Ally claims that he's been nothing but nice to her. I find that behavior to be disturbing as well." Bill replies.
"Okay, boys I need you to shake those hips like you mean it…"
"When's the show again?" groaned Sam.
"Tomorrow" both vampires shouted together.
"Thank God for small favors."
They grunted in agreement as the task master demonstrated how they were supposed to be moving to the song.
"I swear, when this is over I will hang that man from that preposterous ascot of his." Eric stated flatly.
"I heard that…"
