You guys are such wonderful well beings! Thank you all for the encouraging reviews! It means a lot! Keeps me on my toes, and heart. Heh heh.

Anyways, I know you guys really wanted the kidnapping chapter, but I have my reasons why I didn't. First with the kidnapping chapter I wasn't for sure what age Private should be, so I decided to do a poll, and for those who can't vote tell me what age in reviews. I might put it in for consideration!

Also this chapter goes well with Halloween, you'll see why, and I hope I got Cupid's personality right. There's not much to go by with her.

Thanks so much guys! I'm so blessed! Please review, I do listen! ;)

Chapter Four: First Puppy Love

"Private, I have to go," She giggles out from his hug, "tonight was fun." Her dark green eyes that could be considered brown shone with happiness. Private's young sixteen year old face shone with the same happiness. Okay maybe it wasn't happiness, more of a puppy love kinda look.

Private pouts a bit, "Will I see you again?" He slowly wraps his finger around her carmel hair that presumed her curls, "I certainly would hate not to see you again." He bashfully says, as he grips her dainty hand that jingled because of her charm bracelet.

She grips back, she too bashful, "Oh, I guarantee we'll see each other soon," She winks, letting go of his hand to push up the back of her hood up because of the chill weather of Halloween's eve, "I would be too sad not too." She grins bouncing up and down, "Do you think you would be up for a party on Halloween?"

Private shoves his hands in his pockets, "It's up to my...er...Brothers." He decided not to get in on why he called them his team, it would be all too confusing, "Their," He looked up into the darkening sky for answers to what to call the team, "Protective."

Way too protective of him. Which right now he was probably making them, because right now he was five minutes over curfew, and counting. It was worth it though, he met a girl. A pretty, genuine, nice, girl. And he went on a date that lasted four hours. Four hours, and five minutes counting. Private was loving every second of it.

Cupid nods knowingly, "Don't I know it. I'm the youngest in the bunch of my siblings, so that comes with restrictions. I'm lucky just to attend this party, and right now I'm pushing it further staying out past curfew, especially with a boy," she adds with a giggle, "here's the address, I'll be keeping my hopes up for my knight in shining armor to come." She smiles handing him the address.

Private blushes, "I'll be looking for that winged being Cupid, with her arrows to strike me." Cupid blushes deeply, deciding to take a chance to kiss his cheek, Private is mortified with joy, "W-what was that for?" He touches his cheek as if it was a precious gem.

"For being so true." She triumphs him, and leaves him with that line in her mind.

Private hums along the park, where he, and Cupid had walked for hours thinking only about her. She was so beautiful, and lovely. Was this what it felt like when you crushed on someone, "Private." Private snapped out of his daze to see Rico, Kowalski, and Skipper with their arms crossed.

Private frowned, and crossed his own arms, "How long have you've been following me? And Cupid for that mattah?" Private's fantasies about his gorgeous girlfriend ceased when he saw his older wiser guardian's angry faces. So what if he pasted curfew a few measly minutes? That didn't give them the right to stalk him down, and follow him like creepers.

Skipper's face scrunches, and points where Cupid had once been, "Do you know who that girl is, Percival?" Oh, boy using real name basis was never good for Private.

"No, but I bet your going to tell me." Private says sarcastically, narrowing his eyes showing the same anger Skipper was giving off.

Skipper seethes, "That's Cupid Reins! The Reindeers, she's an agent just like us Private!" Skipper shakes his shoulders, "They lie, and cheat, Private. They lied, and cheated us Penguins."

Private shakes his head, "That doesn't mean she's like them Skippah!"

Skipper gives a hard glare, "How can you be so naïve? Once a friend always an enemy!" Private rolls his eyes at Skipper getting another famous expression wrong, "Keep rolling those eyes your disciplinary actions are going to be much worse, solider."

Private raises his voice, "For seeing a girl! A human being, who I knew nothing about being a 'cheating agent'! That's not fair!" He glances over to Rico, and Kowalski for any support, "And what, are you two with him too?" Rico, and Kowalski give apologetic looks, but they knew who their leader was, "Cowards." Private mutter harshly under his breath.

"Kowalski, and Rico know what went on with those scums. Also you broke curfew, and was gone for over four hours without any contact." Skipper states, not taking any of Private's rude commentary, "That's grounds for insubordination."

Private groans, "It was only five minutes. Five. Minutes." He smiles sickly sweet, "You know why I didn't call you to inform you about my date, because I knew this would your reaction, just like all the other times. You spy, and pry!" He says, ending in a loud shout to deafen anyone.

Kowalski pushes his glasses up sheepishly, "It wasn't that many times..."

Private strongly puts, "Well it was enough to know." Private turns back to Skipper defiantly, "I'm still going to see her, to be so stereotypical I'm going to go ahead and say: And there's nothing you can do about it."

Skipper's fist clutch at his actions, and words, "Percival James, we are going home right now!" Already reaching down to grab the ebony haired boy, who recoils back in the process.

"So what I can be grounded? Locked up? Punished? Like this prisoner that I am so dearly!" He says dramatically as his arms flare up with his tone.

Skipper glare is a cool as the air itself, "I have the audacity to pull you over my knee right now in front of the public eye, I haven't done that since you were five years old. Defying me is not a smart thing to do solider, not in your case anyway." Skipper threatens Private's tail itself.

Private's face is stern, and stubborn, "I am going to see Cupid. I am going to that party. I am going to defy you."

Skipper kinda blew his top off after that.

Private snuck out, as he promised to himself. Even though his bottom was sore, and he had been locked up in his room as his 'punishment' he still managed to make it. Also lucky for him his leader didn't take away the address of the party, or his costume that he had in his closet from last Halloween.

Private taps Cupid's door of her apartment, he could hear the spooky music from inside. The door opens revealing a muscular man in a Robin Hood costume, he smiles, "You must be Percival, I'm Comet, Cupid's brother."

Shaking Private's hand he added threateningly, "Her older brother." Private nods frightened, as he walks into the loud chatter filled room.

Private looks for Cupid in the thick mingling crowd through all the different costumes, "My knight in shining armor came!" A voice squealed Private's ears, and heart.

Private smiles as a winged, arrow sheathed, cherub came flying down the hallway to hug him, "I thought you weren't going to get to come?" She asks, holding onto his arms as if he was her lifeline.

The armored boy grins, and scratches the back of his head, "Heh, I might have snuck out." He shrugs, "Whoops."

Cupid frowns, "Private, I don't want to get you in trouble."

"Cupid, your not getting me in trouble, but," Private looks around, "can we talk? Privately?" Cupid looks around, and nods taking Private's hand leading him to the balcony that they had in her apartment.

Cupid shuts the glass behind them from the noisy party goers, "What's wrong?" She wraps her elbow to Private's arm affectionately, "Do you not want to be here...with me?" Cupid asked fearfully.

Private looks shocked, and shakes his head viciously, "Of course not, Q." She chuckles at his new nickname for her, "It's just it turns out our families are not in the best terms."

Cupid let's go of his arm, "How does your family know my-"

Private grips the railing holding his anger out of his brothers, "Penguins ring a bell to you?" God, why did it have to be Cupid? Did the universe hate him, or was it just his brothers to blame.

"Yeah, but I don't see how this affects..." Her trails of words lead to a gasp, "No. Way. Your our rival?" She looks up at the stars practically crying out to them, "Out of all the boys in the world, it would have to be the one team that my siblings hate the most."

Private nods, "Exactly my thoughts."

Cupid gulps, and turns quickly to the onyx haired boy, "Percival, you need to leave. I can't let them beat you into pulp." She scours the partying scene to be on the look out of her family members finding them here.

Private looks back, but then cups her chin elegantly, "I don't care," he puckers his lip out to kiss her, she graciously takes it. It tingles the warmth stretching out out to his whole body connecting it to his heart, making it last longer than it should be, "I want to see you. I want to keep seeing you."

Cupid closes her eyes painfully, "So do I, but there's something I need to tell you-" Cupid stops wide eyed at a new scene in the party, "Oh, no." She points for Private to look.

Private was unsure to be angry, or embarrassed. His big brother had came to get him. His big brothers came to get him in the Reindeer's H.Q. Were they nuts? Well he knew Rico was, but come on couldn't they have waited for him to come home to his punishment? He would have been fine with the outcome of that, no, they had to cause a disruption, and of course it was starting to become a wildfire. It was time to put it out.

"Kill me." Private mutters under his breath grabbing Cupid's hand for reassurance, and he walked back into the wide apartment. He found that Comet was nose to nose with a red faced Skipper.

"Where's my baby brother?" Skipper growled out, Private had the urge to blush, and or cry from the 'baby' part, "What has your sick demented little sister done to him?" Private heard Cupid 'humph' at Skipper's question.

Comet keeps his deadly glare on Skipper as he speaks, "I don't even know what you're talking about, so I suggest you leave. Now." It was a warning more than anything, Private knew Skipper wouldn't heed it until he saw Private so he could skin him alive.

It was time to speak up, he squeezed Cupid's hand one last time, "Skippah, we're leaving." Skipper snaps his gaze up at the British toned speaker, "Peacefully." Private didn't know how, but he was now between Comet, and Skipper. He didn't know who would kill him first now.

Comet points at him, "Wait a minute, you're the boy Cupid invited?" Comet shifts his glance to Cupid, "Our rival? Really?"

Cupid nods cutely, and steps towards her brother, almost fluttering, "Yes," she says dreamily to him, or really Private, "And brother there's really nothing you can do about it."

Skipper laughs mockingly, "Wow, you've parented her so well."

Comet raises his eyebrows annoyed, "Look whose talking, didn't you say he snuck out?"

Skipper growls, putting a hand on Private's shoulder making him tense up, "Yes, but at least he's getting a through punishment, unlike doll-face over here. She probably gets a sticker, or sucker every time she rebels." Private rolled his eyes, were they really talking about parenting right now in front of the public eye?

Comet grits his teeth, "Cupid gets grounded like any other teenager, but you probably lock him inside a cage." Skipper about to tell Rico, and Kowalski to get into a battle stance to defend their honor, but a shout is raised to be surprising to both superiors.

"ENOUGH!"

They all turn to Cupid, "Percival, and I are not children, nor are we adults. At least we do not behave like this mess that's upon us. Besides, I can't," She brings her eyes down not to face Private's, "be with you, Percival."

Private shrugs off Skipper's hand to move to Cupid, "What do you mean, you told me that-"

"It's not that I don't want to be, but sadly we're moving away." Private can hear his heart drop, "That's why we are having this party, as a farewell. I thought that today in the park would be the last time we saw each other, that way I could forget you so easily. Now, not so much." Tears are watering her eyes as she reaches for Private expressionless face, "I'm sorry, that-"

Private brings down her wrist back to her side, "I'm sorry I never want to see you again." He kisses her cheek, and leaves running out the door.

His teammates follow him, but Kowalski turns to Cupid, "He'll be okay, it will take time." He knew from experience, "Also if you ever came back, he would want nothing more than to see your face, because that heartbreak, and I'm the host of it." He nods, and shuts the apartment door behind him hearing the cries of a heartbroken sixteen year old girl.

Now on to comfort the same boy who was doing the same. Ah, love.

Should I do a part two, with the team dealing with a heartbroken baby brother? I know that the 'First Kidnapping' is next, also I was thinking one with Private getting sick. Tell me your precious thoughts.
