18- Hack into Pepper's laptop and fill up her email with rude advertising

19- Go anywhere NEAR Pepper's laptop

Tony scrutinised Pepper, who had fallen asleep on her laptop at the kitchen table. More specifically, she'd fallen asleep on the 'I' key, which was now creating pages and pages on Microsoft Word of just the letter 'I'.

Tony was very spontaneous, it fact it drove everyone nuts. The 'I am Iron Man' conference being an example of his spontaneity. So when Tony realised he'd been given a rare opportunity to fulfil some more items on the list of things he wasn't allowed to do, he decided to act on it.

First things first though, he had to get Pepper off her laptop without waking her up. This was going to be tricky, as Pepper was very restless and would wake up at the slightest little thing.

Oh so gently Tony manoeuvred the laptop to the right slightly, pulling it away from Pepper, and slid his arm underneath her arm to replace where the laptop had been. Pepper seemed perfectly happy to continue snoozing on his arm, and in fact rolled her head to the right slightly, giving Tony the perfect opportunity to pull it out completely. Except he now only had one arm, which Pepper had claimed for herself.

Not a problem.

Tony recalled that the list stated he was allowed to hack into the computer, but in fairness he didn't need to, he knew that Pepper's password was 'Arc'. Why, he didn't know, but he didn't ponder on it as he quickly put the laptop on mute to stop the start up noise from waking her up. Thinking of start up tunes, he had to find a new one for her…

Tony did ponder upon this, trying to think of the most annoying start up tune which would benefit from maximum comedic value. Eventually, he decided that the TARDIS' vorp vorp noise would be suitable. Once that was done, Tony went online, found as many pictures of himself that he a) liked, and b) would remind Pepper that he was Iron Man, and created a desktop background full of them, even changing her icon to a particular funny one of him with goggle eyes.

The rude advertising part of the list would be tricky, he wanted to fulfil that one, but didn't want to fill Pepper's laptop up with virus's, mainly because he'd probably be the one that would have to get rid of them. So instead he typed out a quick computer program which would project adverts for things like 'I SEE YOU'VE RECENTLY SEARCHED FOR CURES FOR THRUSH, PLEASE CLICK HERE.' Tony chuckled quietly and gently closed the lid, sliding the laptop back under Pepper's arm and claiming his own arm back. Then he put a pillow under her head, a blanket round her, turned the lights off, and snuck off upstairs.

When Pepper woke up the next morning, it was to a cup of steaming black coffee which had just been waved under her nose.

'Wakey wakey, Pepperpot,' Tony said, already up, showered, dressed, and smelling of Hugo Boss. 'We've got that board meeting today.'

Pepper groaned and buried back under her blanket- where the hell did that come from?- trying not to think about it.

Tony chuckled from somewhere behind her. 'And you tell me I'm grumpy in the mornings, I even made you coffee.'

In response, Pepper drained the coffee in one go then stalked upstairs to have a quick shower and change her clothes, glad she had a business suit hidden in a wardrobe in one of the guest rooms.

XxXxXxX

'So then, shall we start?' one of the board members asked, looking expectantly at Pepper.

'Of course,' Pepper said, opening her laptop and wondering why Tony was looking particularly mischievous today.

VORP VORP VORP VORP VORP.

'Nice start up noise,' someone said. 'My kid is a big fan of Doctor Who.'

Pepper stared, horrified, at Tony, who winked at her.

Then her background loaded and she just about died.

The two people sat either side of her lost their eyebrows in their hair lines and giggled to each other.

Then the advertisements starting popping up everywhere and Pepper slammed the lid of her laptop down so hard everyone in the room jumped.

'I don't need it,' Pepper said. 'I can remember everything.'

'OW!' Tony yelled loudly, making everyone jump again.

'Um… got my fingers trapped in the chair,' he said apologetically, deciding not to mention that Pepper had damn near broken his leg by kicking it with one of her heels.

XxXxXxX

After the meeting, Pepper grabbed hold of Tony's tie and dragged him into the office, she thrust her laptop at him.

'Get rid of the advertisements, now,' she said, in her 'Pepper-is-pissed' voice.

'Yes, boss,' Tony said sheepishly, opening the lid.

Pepper decided not to mention that she was going to use the background on her home computer.
