So sadly this will be the last update for the rest of the week, I am leaving town, but once I get back the first thing I am going to do is post the next chapter! Promise! I love all the favorites and reviews I am getting, keep 'em coming!

By the way, I don't own these characters.

I remember dreaming, yes I was definitely dreaming… but then my stomach growled. Something underneath me, whatever I was lying on was bouncing. My eyes fluttered open.

"How did you sleep?" Ian laughed. Oh yes, Ian.

"Wonderfully…but I think I got a little hungry," I smiled, then I thought about how eating entailed getting up and leaving our cozy room and my smile turned into a frown.

"What?" Ian asked.

"I don't wanna get up." I pouted. And his body bounced underneath me again, he was laughing, then I broke into a giggle too.

Ian sat up on our mattress and cradled me in his arms.

"I don't want to get up either. But I think your stomach is out ruling both of us," Ian kissed my forehead and I sighed.

"I guess…we are going to need nourishment and energy for our activities later so let's go!" I jumped out of his arms and ran to the door.

Ian grabbed my hand before it got to the handle and I yelped.

"I didn't like the fact of you walking out there in my shirt, guess how I would feel if you walked out there completely naked."

I forgot! I didn't have any clothes on! I instantly felt too exposed and self conscious, but that's not attractive so I hid my chagrin and exhaled trying to act confident.

"Hmm. You're probably right, but I do love it when you get all angry when you talk about the other guys in the cave looking at me," I snickered and walked towards my now dry and crispy clean clothes, Ian followed me and playfully slapped my butt.

"Hey now, that wasn't very nice!" I tried to act shocked and hurt.

"Well you were being a naughty girl!" Ian chastised, his eyes smoldering.

"A naughty girl?!"

"Yes," Ian claimed and skimmed his fingers down my sides then wrapped them around the small of my back, "and naughty girls get spanked."

"Well," I said and latched my hands around his neck, "I guess I'm going to have to be a naughty girl more often!" I smiled and jumped to wind my legs around his naked waist. I held myself up as his hands roamed across my back and sides. I pushed my lips against his and dug my fingers into his hair.

This time both of our stomach's growled.

"Ugh! Fine!" I yelled and Ian gently set me down, "my stomach, and now your stomach have made themselves very clear that we are not allowed to do anything until we feed them!"

I could feel Ian's eyes on me while I was dressing so I attempted to seductively get my clothes on, I thought I was severely failing but then thought I heard him mumble something about hating the fact that the human body needs food…

I scaled the notebook sized chunk of glass we had up my body to see what I looked like, I was wearing a pair of dark blue cut-off sweats and a gray beater. I checked out my face, then my hair-oh wow! What happened to my hair?

I'm not a vain person, but my wet hair did not dry well in the mix of mine and Ian's rendezvous and falling carelessly asleep in his arms. My usually waist length honey blonde curls had rat nested their way half way up my back into a state I have never seen them in before.

Ian saw my horrified face, "I think it looks cute," he smiled.

I just looked at him, still horrified.

I grabbed a brush and tore through my hair – ow!

I finally got through it all, but now it was just frizzy crimps; it was useless, so I pulled it back into a long ponytail that ended in between my shoulder blades.

Ian and I walked into the dining hall holding hands.

"Wanda! Ian! You're late!" Jamie yelled. I blushed.

"We'll be right there Jamie! Calm down!" Ian laughed, Jamie was bouncing uncontrollably.

We got our food; it looked so delicious, chicken fettuccini with garlic bread and a huge glass of milk. I love the meals we get the first week back from a raid, they are all the perishables and it's such a nice break from the soup and hard rolls.

"Where were you two?" Kyle asked when we sat down at the table.

"Wanda didn't have any clean clothes, so we had to wait for her clothes to dry," Ian explained vaguely. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer into his side.

"Oh, well we were just asking Sunny all these questions about Fire World, but she has only lived here and with the Bears, so she doesn't know much," Jamie said, "Will you tell us more about Fire World?"

Now that we met new humans and with them, a soul like me, they wanted to know all about Fire World, since that's where Burns was from. So I told them all about Fire World and how unpleasant it is, no one really requests to go to Fire World.

"I really don't like talking about it though, I'm sure Burns will feel more comfortable if he ever decides to visit."

"Aww, come on Wanda! Tell us more, tell us more! Maybe tell us about the Flowers then, if you don't like talking about Fire World," Jamie insisted.

"Jamie, you almost know as much as I do about the other worlds, I have told you all of my stories more than once," I laughed, Jamie gets so excited when I tell him stories of other worlds, his reactions to them make me more comfortable, they aren't shocked or scared like some of the others, he is intrigued and that makes me happy.

"Wanda's right kid, no more stories for tonight, we gotta get up and work tomorrow," Jeb said as he stretched backwards and yawned.

Ian leaned down and put his mouth to my ear so only I could hear him, "I think you may have mentioned some activities that we would be doing later, and I am interested to know what those are."

My face burned and I looked down at the table so no one could see my eyes. I couldn't contain myself so I grabbed mine and Ian's dishes and got up to put them in a washing bucket, Ian laughed as I walked away with my head down and I heard Jared ask something like, "What's with her?"

I walked back to Ian once I settled down and stood next to him and started running my fingers through his hair as he finished a conversation with Kyle and Jared.

"Wanda I haven't seen your hair up in a ponytail before, I like it," Mel complimented.

"Oh, thanks, it kind of dried weird so it was pretty much my only option," I said.

Ian looked up at me and smirked, then everyone got up from the table to head back to their rooms, it was late and everyone was exhausted.

Ian and I were holding hands and when we got back to our room he opened the door and walked in first then yanked me into our little bedroom, slammed the door shut, and pushed me against the wall.

"So," Ian started, he had his hands on the wall on either side of my head, he lowered his face to mine and my heart rate sped up, "what were these activities you had in mind for us this evening?"
