-Ace-

It's been six weeks since Buttercup came back and it's like she never left. The boys have gotten closer to her than before. It's like they're worried she'll disappear again. Hell, there are times when I wonder that myself.

"Ace. Snake, Aturo, and I are gonna go out on a job. Wanna come?"

I looked up from the tv and saw Buttercup in my doorway.

"Nah, I'm good. You guys go ahead."

I said and she nodded before turning to leave.

"Buttercup wait."

I said getting up and going over to the door. She turned around and looked me in the eyes and frowned.

"You know I sometimes really hate these things."

She said as she took my sunglasses off. She held them up with a smile and I smiled back at her.

"So what'd you want Ace?"

She asked as she crossed her arms over her chest. I sighed as that movement made me want to throw her on my bed and make love to her.

'Sometimes this girl drives me crazy.'

"When do you think you'll be back?"

I asked snaking my arms around her waist and pulling her to me. She smiled and wrapped her arms around my neck.

"I don't know. Somewhere around eleven, why?"

She asked and I smiled down at her as I leaned in closer. She blushed and my smile turned into a smirk.

"Cuz, I'd like to take you out for a night on the town."

I said before pressing my lips to hers. She smiled against my lips and kissed me back. I pulled away to give her some air. She had a cute little blush on her face.

"R-Right. I'll be back by eleven."

She said disentangling herself from me. She went to leave, but I blocked her way with my arm. She turned to look at me confused.

"Shades."

I said with a smile. Her blush darkened as she handed me back my sunglasses. She darted out of my room and I couldn't help but laugh as I sat back down on my bed.

'Tonight is definitely going to be an interesting night.'

-Buttercup-

"I can't believe we just lifted all thisss."

Snake said, drawing out his S's in his excitement over the job we just did.

"Yeah. We hadn't done a job like dis in a while."

Aturo said and I couldn't help but smile.

"What? So you boys didn't lift anything while I was away?"

I asked and both turned to look up at me from the benches they were laying on. I twirled the ruby necklace I'd lifted from the antique shop around my finger as I looked over our 'prizes' from Andy's Hardware, Bella's Boutique, Jim and Tim's Antique, and Sidney's Market.

'I haven't felt this good in a while. Man I missed doing jobs with the boys.'

I thought as I flew down to the ground.

"No. Nobody felt up to it."

Aturo said as he and Snake stood up.

"I did a few odd heists here and there, but never really got into them."

Snake said and I sighed.

"I'm going to have to make up for that."

I said as I picked up two of our three bags of loot.

"Come on, let's get back before someone realizes their stuff is missing."

I said and Snake and Aturo nodded.

We headed back to the dump and put our stuff out back where all the things the gang got from lifts and heists was stored. Then we went inside. I grabbed four beers from the fridge and tossed Snake and Aturo theirs as I walked down the hallway towards Ace's room. I knocked twice before pushing the door open with my foot.

"Ace, I'm back."

I said as I walked in. I froze when I saw Ace was in the middle of changing. I saw a flash of toned, green skin before he pulled his black t-shirt down and walked over to me. He took one of the beers in my hand and sat down on his bed.

"You know you can come sit down."

he said with a smile and I blushed. I walked over to his bed and sat down beside him. We sat in silence as we drank our beers. When we'd both finished I turned towards Ace.

"So, how is this 'night on the town' going to start?"

I asked and he smiled his fanged smile and my heart sped up.

"You'll see. Go get changed and meet me at the Eastern gate."

He said as he stood up.

"Change into what?"

I asked as I stood up and followed him to the doorway.

"Into whatever you want."

He said before turning to me and leaning down to press his lips to mine. He pulled away before I could even think about deepening the kiss. I pouted and he laughed at me.

"Go on, we have all night."

He said as he pushed me out of his room. I sighed before walking down the hall to my own. I walked straight to my closet and pulled out everything I owned. I looked at it all, but couldn't pick anything.

"Aturo!"

I yelled as I walked down the hall to his room. I knocked twice before entering. He was laying across his bed playing a video game.

"Hey Aturo, are you buys?"

"Hey mama, no I'm no esta ocupado. Que?"

I smiled at him as I walked into his room. Him and the boys had a tendency to call me their mother.

"I need some help."

I said and he paused the game and sat up to look at me.

"Help with what?"

"Well, Ace is taking me for a night on the town and told me to change, but I don't know what to expect so I don't know what to wear."

I said and Aturo smiled at me.

"Come on."

He said as he got up and walked past me back to my room.

"Sit on the bed, this may take a few minutes."

Aturo said and I did as he told me. He walked around the room and picked up various outfits. He placed them on the bed and held up the first outfit.

"No. I don't really like dresses. I'm not even sure why that's in here."

I said and he nodded before tossing the black strapless dress to the corner of my room. He rummaged through my clothes again and held up a black blouse and a pair of light blue skinny jeans.

"No. I think it needs to be something that looks date-like, but is also me."

I said and he smiled before he started tossing almost all my clothes to the corner of my room. He held up an outfit and I smiled.

"It's perfect."

'Hey mama, no im no esta ocupado. Que?'

'Hey mom, no I'm not busy, why?'
