AN: Thanks readers for the reviews and such! :D

I leaned back back in my seat in relaxation. I had moved to the front of the truck earlier that night because everyone in the back was sleeping and it was quite irksome. It got dull staring at their sleeping, vacant faces. Plus, it was more comfortable in a seat than on the hard floor of the truck.

I stared out the window passively. Aldo and I were the only two left awake and we sat in silence, consumed by our own thoughts. I looked down at Donny who had fallen asleep and was now laying his head on my lap. I grabbed a fistful of his hair and scrunched it gently as I looked down at him affectionately.

Aldo who was paying more attention to me than I realized exclaimed after seeing my affectionate gesture, "First Hugo, now Donny! Wow, you work fast!"

I narrowed my eyes at him and moved my hands away from Donny with embarrassment. "That's bull shit. I haven't done anything with Hugo, nor will I with this one. Hmph! "

He peaked at me from the corner of his eyes. "Really? Then why were you kissing him so much earlier?"Aldo challenged cocking an eyebrow at me.

I furrowed my eyebrows and pouted my lips. "That' not fair. He kissed me first! See, you don't have anything on me!"I scoffed gladly, thinking that I outsmarted him.

"You kissed him twice!"he snapped impatiently. Now that I think about it, that statement makes him seem like a stalker. Hmm.

"Shut up! Besides...The first time he kissed me first..."I mumbled, hating to be proved wrong.

"Doesn't matter. A fact is a fact,"he argued. He was being too persistant about this topic. I wondered why he acted so concerned.

I leaned toward him smirking. "Are you jealous or something, Aldo?"I inquired surprisingly not in a teasing way. I honestly did want to know why he was acting so hostile.

He answered too quickly, "No! There's nothing to be jealous of!" I was positive that he was lying.

"Liar." I smirked and before he could argue I leaned in even closer to him and kissed him on his cheek right next to his lips. I felt him twitch at from the touch. I leaned back in my seat and grinned. That got him to shut up, I'll say that much. I peeked up at him and his face noticeably turned a shade of red. It was kind of cute, to be honest.

As the night continued, I was unsure of what time it was exactly, but I could imagine that it was past midnight. Of course I wasn't drowsy at all. Aldo on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. I stared at him as he yawned boisterously.

"You want me to drive? I don't want you to crash in to a tree or something,"I joked, totally not serious about the me driving part.

He looked at me with hope dancing in his eyes. "Will ya'?"

I scoffed at him, shocked that he thought I was really offering to. "Aldo, I was being sarcastic! I don't even know how to drive!"I stated to him laughing.

He stared at me coldly before asking in disbelief, "How do you not know how to drive?"

"I'm pretty sure the Nazis would find me noticeable if I went out driving...Before all that, I was just too young." I shrugged. The fact that I didn't know how to drive was true, but the next part wasn't. Ever since I met Landa, Germans drove me everywhere I went. Before that I was too poor to afford a car in the first place. It's hard to believe, but I haven't always been so superior. I used to be just like everyone else.

He put the truck in park. He turned to me and said, "Well you're getting your first driving lesson now."

"What?"I questioned taken by surprise. But then I said, hell, why not? "Fine."

I moved Donny from my lap and moved to the drivers seat. The seat was large enough for the two of us, so Aldo merely slid down. He reached over me, grazing my breast in the process as he put the truck in drive. I couldn't tell if it was on purpose. He looked down to where out feet were. "That's the gas. That's the breaks." He pointed out each pedal as he said them. "Have fun!" He slouched down in his seat getting ready to sleep.

"That's it?"I asked curiously.

"Pretty much. Try not to crash,"he advised casually. I watched him as him as he pulled his hat down to cover his eyes and began to doze off. I sighed and looked back at the road. I slammed down on the gas and the truck took off faster than I anticipated, but I quickly recovered from my scare.

After some time, Aldo's head fell upon my shoulder. I tore my eyes from the road to look at him. I couldn't determine if he was sleeping or just trying to be funny because his hat covered his eyes. I slowed down the truck and I timidly reached over and pulled his hat from his head. He had fallen asleep. I sighed and put his hat back on him. I didn't bother to push him off of me.

An eerie thought formed in my head when I realized that I was the only one awake and I was in control of the truck. Theoretically, I could drive them in to enemy terretories if I wanted and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. That would end my mission and make me a hero. That idea was so tempting, but I just couldn't.

Two things were stopping me from doing so. Deep down, I guess I just didn't want my mission to end. I know, it was a terrible. Of course, my mission was going to end some time, but I was just drawing it out. On top of that, I learned to respect them. Betraying them like that was just malicious. I didn't want to be at the scene of the crime when they realize that I'm a traitor. I was positive that they wouldn't take it very well. Also, I didn't want to feel guilty. I brushed the thoughts off because they troubled me. I knew that that day will come when I fully betray them and screw them over, but...I didn't want it to.

I found myself becoming pretty drowsy after a while. Now I know how Aldo must feel, having to do this nearly everyday. I struggled to, but I eventually managed to put the truck in park. I relaxed and leaned back in my seat. I was too tired to move away from Aldo, so I eventually dozed off in to a deep sleep. Little did I know that we fell asleep cuddled against each other. My neck seemed to fit in to the crook of his neck perfectly. His hat had fallen off and his head leaned on top of mine. My legs were slung over his and his arm was wrapped around my waist holding me close to him.

When I awoke, it was dead silent. Hopefully more silent than dead, but nevertheless, I opened my eyes and realized that I was the only one in the truck. I stretched my arms over my head and let out a loud yawn. I adjusted my laying position on the seat and sat up. I looked out the window and saw that the basterds had migrated outside.

After getting bored from just staring at them from the safety of the truck, I decided to get out. I got out on the driver's side and walked around to where they were. Aldo was the first to notice my presence. "Good Afternoon, sleeping beauty." What a charmer. (note the sarcasm)

I rolled my eyes and remarked, "I'm sorry, I was too busy driving all night." I approached Aldo and folded my arms cockily.

"You let her drive!"Donny exclaimed in mass disbelief. The other basterds had mild shock written across their faces, but it was no where near as bad as Donny. He was exaggerating it.

Aldo gave me a death glare. I guess I wasn't supposed to say that. "Aw, lighten up,"I commanded and wrapped my arms around his waist and gave him a slight squeeze. I felt Aldo tense and it made me giggle. I buried my face in to his chest, closing my eyes restfully, enjoying his touch. I didn't realize even an innocent enough gesture like that was foolish because of a jealous pair of eyes. Aldo patted my shoulder lightly, a signal for me to get off of him. I guess he was more aware of the jealousy than I was. Or he was just embarrassed.

Either way, I released him. I walked over to where Smithson was. He had a frying pan under a fire and was attempting to make eggs for 'breakfast'. If he was making breakfast now, they couldn't have gotten up much earlier than I did.

"Hey,"I greeted him cheekily.

His eyes lit up with joy when he saw me. "Hey Gabrielle! Long time no talk..."

I crouched down next to him. "I know,"I agreed sullenly. "Things have just been so hectic lately."

"Not so much. I think Hugo was just keeping you close to him lately and away from everyone else,"he whispered because the subject was nearby.

I disagreed agitatedly, "That's not true! You make it sound like he can control me! I assure you, nobody can..."

He shook his head. "I'm sorry. That's just the way it seems. He's not as great of a guy as you think..."

"How would you know,"I pouted, but I had a bad feeling that he was telling the truth. I didn't want to hear anymore, but I was too curious. I glanced at Hugo and saw that he was staring at me intently.

"I never said that I knew. It's just...I have a bad feeling about him." The way that Smithson spoke about him sent shivers down my spine. I knew Hugo well enough to know not to be afraid of him, but Smithson made me think twice about it.

"I don't..."I murmured now unsure. I looked away from him and was now interested in the ground.

"Do you want breakfast?"Smithson asked gently, trying to change the topic.

"Um...No. I'm not really hungry,"I told him and it totally didn't have anything to do with the conversation we had moments ago. I stood up and went by Aldo.

I tugged on his sleeve to pull his attention from Donny who he was talking to. "Is there anywhere I could bathe? I feel gross,"I asked him in a hushed voice.

He rubbed the prickles on his chin in thought. "I think there mighta' been some springs that way."

"Alright, I'll be back,"I announced and went in the direction that he pointed out. As I walked past all of the basterds, I avoided eye contact with Hugo. I mentally cursed Smithson for putting me in fear of Hugo...again.

Surely enough, after walking a little, I came across a hot spring. Thank goodness. I smelled horrible and I felt so grimy.

I scanned the area to be sure that none of the basterds were learking around. I stripped myself of clothes and got in to the water quickly to escape the bitter air on my skin. My clothes were sitting on a nearby rock, just in case.

Luckily for me, the water was comfortably warm. It was very deep so I could sit in it and it came up to my neck. I sat on the edge and leaned my head on the ground relaxed.

AN: So I know this one was a wee bit short, but I have finals this week so i just wanted something added for my little weekly post :) Please review! ^-^
