An: Hello wonderful readers! :) I feel like my updating pace is going to be once a week. I always have trouble writing when I get in to the middle of a story, I end up having trouble writing it. Eh, maybe just this chapter, I can't tell yet. Anyways, enjoy! :)

***Aldo's POV

It was ten at night. I was sitting at a small circular table playing cards with Donny to kill time while we waited for the rest of the basterds to return back. We had been staying at a motel for the night and planned to leave first thing in the morning. We deserved to treat ourselves to a comfortable night. We've been working hard ever since we've gotten in France. We got the biggest room, but we were still going to be squished. On the bright side, it beat camping out.

"It's kinda lonely now without that girl,"Donny stated breaking our silence.

I looked up from my cards at him cutting my eyes. I knew that he was attached to her...but I had to admit that it was lonesome without er'. There was nobody here who would dare snap rude remarks at me. She sure was different. She didn't seem to be afraid of anything. Either she was plain stupid, or she didn't care about consequences. She got on my nerves cause of that, but I couldn't hate her cause of it. She was only a woman after all.

"We're better off with her gone. She was a distraction, and on top of that, she was fuckin' annoyin',"I scoffed, placing my card down, beating him in the game causing him to scowl at me.

"I don't know. I sorta liked her, and she sure was pretty,"Donny mentioned absentmindedly. He seemed to be fantasizing about her.

"So you've got a thing for twelve year old boys?"I mocked him as I gathered all of the cards in a neat pile

Donny's face scrunched up in disgust and he thought about it for a moment. His face relaxed and he pestered further,"You can't say that she's ugly just because you hate her. Even you have to admit that she's pretty." Donny put his elbows on the table and leaned forward with interest.

"Well, even if she was pretty, it's not as if she has a nice body or anythin',"I pointed out, purposely trying to crush his high opinion about her.

"Now that's not fair!"he argued. "She's been wearing baggy clothes the whole time. That would only be fair to say if you saw her naked." I narrowed my eyes at Donny who had a huge grin on his face. No doubt he was trying to imagine the thought.

"I'm sure you'd love to see that Donny. You wanna have sex with her or somethin'?"I teased him, becoming annoyed that he kept talking about her in a positive way.

I smirked to myself when I saw his face flush. "No!"he whined sounding uncomfortable. "I was just saying..."he added in a mumble.I shook my head at him.

I cocked my head up in the direction of the door when I heard it creak as it opened. Hugo walked in and huddled behind him was that woman, Gabrielle, to my surprise. But should I really have been so surprised? I had a feeling that since we decided to stay the night, she'd be back. I was expecting it, but I was hoping that it wouldn't really happen.

"Look what the cat dragged in..."I muttered to Donny. Hugo didn't say anything to us and immediately went to sit on the couch and light a cigarette. Meanwhile, the woman stood in the doorway grinning at Donny and I sheepishly. She looked...better. A whole lot better to say the least. Her hair looked neat now and even had the nice touch of a ribbon in it. She wore a pale pink blouse that reached her mid arm, and I found my eyes attach to her nice sized breasts. So she did have some...My eyes continued to travel until they then became attached to her legs. She was wearing a brown skirt which was rather short and only reached her mid thighs. I wouldn't tell Donny, but he was right about what we were arguing about minutes ago. My judgment was clouded before, but now since she was cleaned up and such, she was a rather attractive woman. Of course I wasn't going to tell anyone I thought so. There were just some people I just refuse to compliment. Simple as that

She greeted us in a singy song voice,"I'm back..." She approached us and didn't stop walking until she was standing directly in front of me so close that her legs were touching my knees. While standing in that position, she looked like she was about to give me a lap dance. Of course I didn't budge. She was a decently attractive woman, and I wasn't gay, so I didn't care.

"Now why are you here?"I asked and I noticed my tone was unintentionally softer. She sure knew what she was doing. All she needed was to look presentable and use some charm, and any man would be nice to her, but I wouldn't let her win that game so easily. Maybe Donny would, but not me.

I looked up at her blue eyes as she stared down at me and staring at me right in the eyes and explained, "I ran in to those Nazis earlier. The same ones that took me that one time."

"What do you want me to do about that, honey?"I asked her coming off cold, just like how I wanted.

She shifted on her feet and bit her lip. "Well, I can't stay in this town, can I?"she challenged cocking an eyebrow.

I furrowed my eyebrows at her and I replied, "I suppose not honey...but what do you expect me to do about it?" I knew what she was hinting at,but I was purposely forcing her to actually say it. I refused to pamper her like how everyone seemed to do.

A smirk emerged on her nearly flawless face. "Well..."she paused, fishing her mind for the appropriate words. "I've already been traveling with all of you, so I thought...why don't I just continue?"

I laughed loudly at her sarcastically. I reminded her fiery, "Honey, among the basterds isn't exactly the best place for a woman like you!"

"What am I supposed to do now then?"she whined obnoxiously. "Look. I'm not asking to join your little team. All I want is to be dropped off at a different town. That's all I'm asking."

Even to me, that seemed rational. "Let's just get one thing straight, honey...If we decide to let you tag along, you can't expect us to be responsible for you. We ain't going to bust our asses to protect you or anythin' like that, understand?"I explained to her sternly.

She waved her hand in the air, dismissing what I said. "Yeah, yeah. I get it! And would you quit calling me honey?"

"I'll call you whatever I want to call you."

Donny giggled at that, "Sounds kinky!"

I ignored him and added, "You've got to remember, you're traveling with us. Not the other way around."

*** Cecile's POV

Everything was going as planned. I was relieved, but not surprised. All I needed was some charm to get him to cave in to my request. It was rather easy, especially since I've had years of practice.

Now the next order of business was to figure out how to stay with them even longer. I knew the same excuse that I used today would be useless. Of course I had time to figure it out. There was no telling how long it would take to get to the next town. I just hoped that it would be a long time. Aldo stood suddenly rose to his feet and we were now standing on each other's toes. Now, it was his turn to look down upon me. We both remained where we were,idle. We were equally stubborn so it seemed that we reached a stale mate. I fussingly folded my arms across my chest, and my forearms were touching his chest. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Donny stand up and enter the danger zone. I didn't take my eyes off of Aldo. "Down tiger,"he chuckled. Donny wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me and moved me out of Aldo's way. Aldo walked past us and toward the windows. Donny released his grip from me but his hands still lingered. Aldo and I weren't acting hostile in a serious manner. The best way I could describe it was like two cubs play fighting.

I walked past Hugo who was sitting on the couch smoking, not paying attention to any of us. I stood next to Aldo and stared out the window next to him. The air slipping in through the window which was cracked blew my hair off of my hair off of my face gently. I closed my eyes and sighed to myself softly. Seemed like it was the calm before the storm, as some would call it. I had a feeling that this would be the only one of the few times I could relax. I had a feeling that tomorrow was going to be hectic. I wasn't quite sure if I was looking forward to it or not.

I brushed the idea off and stared outside, mesmerized by the way the bright lights seemed to light up the city like stars in the night. The streets were vacant for the most part. Of the people who were still out, they seemed to be hurrying home.

I averted my gaze up at Aldo and he looked so serene. I guess he was feeling the same way I did. Wanting to relax before everything became irrational. He looked down at me when he noticed I was staring. "It's nice, isn't it?" I looked back out the window.

"I guess, if you're in to that stuff..."he grunted. I should've known someone like him couldn't appreciate the small things like a gorgeous night like that one.

I sighed and walked across the room and sat down on one of the chairs near Donny. My head perked up when I heard the door creak and a few of the basterds walked in. Over the course of the night, more and more walked in and room became more and more cramped. Each of them stared at me in confusion, but didn't say anything.

I didn't know which was worse;The fact that all of them were stuck in this room not big enough for everyone, or the fact that I was stuck with them. I thought that the second one was worse, but that's just my opinion.

Soon enough, Smithson entered the room. His face lit up when he gazed around the room and saw that I was present. I smiled at him and grabbed the clothes that I had placed on the table earlier. He approached me and kneeled down in front of me. He stated relieved, "I didn't think I'd see you so soon."

I hugged his clothes close to me. "Neither did I." I giggled. I held out his clothes to him. "Thanks for letting me borrow these."

"No problem." He grinned as he took them from me and our fingers grazed each other. I sat there with Smithson for a while simply chatting about the most insignificant things. None of it meant anything, but it did calm my nerves.

As the night dragged on, I noticed that it was near midnight. I also noticed that there weren't nearly enough beds to fit us all. I figured that the guys would share the beds since there were enough for most of them, and then one on the couch, but there were still not enough sleeping areas. Maybe I'd have to sleep on the floor. I wasn't exactly interested in sharing a bed with any of them.

"I'm hittin' the bed. Keep it down guys,"Aldo announced as he stretched, and then he headed in to one of the bed rooms. Most of them soon filed out of the main room and in to bedroom. To my surprise they all seemed to fit in to the beds of the bedrooms. The only ones that were left were Smithson, Hugo, and myself.

"Where are you going to sleep?"Smithson asked curiously.

Hugo interfered, "She's sleeping in here with me." Smithson looked like he was going to say something, but he hesitated and remained silent. Hugo added, "There's no more room in the bedrooms for me and her."

Smithson nodded and muttered to me, "Goodnight."

"Night,"I whispered back. I watched out of the corner of my eye and Hugo moved from a sitting position to a laying one. He turned his head to look at me.

"Turn out that light,"he demanded.

"Sure..."I muttered wearily. I stood up and did what he told me. Once I turned out the lights it was pitch black. I blinked a few times and tried to adjust to the darkness. I stumbled around the room in search of the chair that I was sitting in just then.

"Come here,"Hugo called through the darkness.

"Huh?"

"You don't plan on sleeping on the floor do you?"he tested me.

"I guess not,"I answered unsurely. I followed where I heard his voice come from. It seemed that the couch was big enough for the two of us. I layed down next to him with my back facing him. I made myself comfortable by using my hands as a pillow. When I was beginning to doze off, I felt Hugo's hand travel on to my hip. I was so out of it that in the back of my mind, I thought that it was Landa. For a couch, it wasn't so uncomfortable as I thought it would be, especially since I was under the impression that it was Hans laying next to me in my distant thoughts.

An: Not very much happening in this chapter, but the next one is going to have more going on. I just wanted to point out that I always appreciate constructive criticism. It's been a while since I've gotten them. And remember to review guys (please) :) It helps me update quicker.
