Chapter Twelve: Sporadic Giggles.

A/N: Well, I hope you liked the last chapter. I'm sorry it took me so long to update, but my grandparents being here, put together with my being sick, put together with swim, put together with school…. Well, it's been hectic to say the least. But, I have a confession. I had that chapter written for a week before I updated it. Sorry! Ok, on with the story! Which will hopefully not be that fluffy!

Amy's eyes flew open. Again. She had a strange feeling that something was about to happen, something big. She could still feel the IV in her arm, and was barely aware of Ian's presence next to her.

" I feel like crap" She groaned, giving up a faint smile. She could hear Ian chuckling softly beside her, a sound that made her insides do the freestroke.

"I put some painkiller in the IV, so I'm hoping that the pain will lessen." Said Ian, his smooth British accent distracting Amy. That was weird. Normally she didn't get distracted very easily.

" It will cause some, ah, distorting, effects." Even as Amy watched, Ian grew three more eyes. She giggled, the vision so insanely funny to her painkiller-adled brain, that she started giggling, and couldn't stop.

There was a small part of Amy's brain that was still partly rational. And that small section was saying that this was going to be a long day.

This was going to be a long day. Ian was absently watching Amy go into a fit of giggles. This was something he had never seen Amy do before. She was not the giggly type, and just the fact that she was currently collapsed onto her pillows, giggling like a schoolgirl, told him that she had absolutely no grasp on reality.

"Erm, Amy?" He asked quietly, not wanting to pop her reality forsaken bubble, but knowing that she would want to know what he had to say, he had to.

She looked up at him, tried (and failed miserably) to pull herself together. An occasional giggle or two would escape her lips.

" Amy, the Madrigals received a ransom note today. The Vespers have Dan and Nellie. And they want the Serum." Amy looked shocked. Then, on a sudden whim, she burst again into sporadic giggles. Ian shook his head. He would try again tomorrow.

A/N: Okay, so, I lied. This one was mostly fluff as well. But, common, it was cute! Okay, so, further plot advancement, if you didn't catch it. Dan and Nellie were taken by the Vespers. Big surprise, right? I wasn't even going to pull the vespers into this, but I was at a loss for what else to do, so they kinda ended up just bringing them in. Sorry for the length, I'm really working on making them longer, and updating faster, but my life has been chaos for the last couple of weeks. It's on the let down, so I should be updating faster!

Live long and prosper, Do or do not:there is no try, Tacos kill, PatonxJulia.
