I found this in one of my old note books! You can tell I wrote it at school, cuz in the original I've written "Stop reading over my shoulder" then crossed it out! XD Slacking off at school is finally useful!

I don't own a thing!

"Why, Jade? Why?"

"C'mon Mare! This place has the best shoes!"

"I have shoes! I don't need anymore shoes! You know I'll just wear trainers anyway!"

"I don't care! I'm buying you shoes!"

Mare sighed, watching as her sister looked over shoes that cost more than her car. She knew it wasn't a good idea to go on holiday in the middle of a war (she didn't like to call it the apocalypse, that made it sound much worse…). Jade had insisted that they needed to wind down and meet more Night People, so here they were, in Vegas.

Jade suddenly squealed and held up a pair of shoes. Mare thought they were completely ordinary. But with a price tag that large, they must do something special, like make omelettes or wash the dog…

"These are perfect for you! I'm buying them and there's nothing you can do to stop me!"

"How can you afford them anyway?" Mare knew that Lamia were all annoyingly rich, but Jade had been disowned.

"Unlimited credit card from Ash's account, darling." Jade answered, absorbed in a pair of heels a human could never walk in.

Mare frowned. "But then, can't he track the usage?"

"I think that's the point, dear."

"But…" Mare quickly shook her head when Jade pointed to a bejewelled clutch bag that made Gucci look greasy. "Doesn't that mean he can track me?"

Jade raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow. "And you see that as a bad thing?"

"Well… Maybe… I don't know! It's just so confusing! Do you realise how easy you and Mark have-"

"Thierry?" Jade interrupted.

A tall blonde vampire turned to see Jade waving at him. An alarmed look took over his face and he hurried towards them.

"Jade, you and your friend need to get out of here." He said.

"Why?" Jade frowned, clutching at her purchases like a lifeline.

Thierry cast Mary-Lynette a wary glance. "Does she know?"

"Yeah," Jade replied. "Thierry, this is Mary-Lynette. Mary-Lynette, this is Lord Thierry Descouedres."

Thierry nodded at Mare and whispered Jade a question, she beamed and nodded.

"Anyways," Thierry continued. "There is a Night World plot to destroy this area and we need you to be in a safe place while we disable it."

"Safe place? What kind of safe place?" Jade asked.

"Somewhere away from Night World agents. We have set up a place, but seeing as this area is crawling with agents, you two need to go separately. We have drivers for you out here."

Thierry led them out to the street where five limos were parked.

"Thierry, our siblings are in a hotel on the other side of the city, will they be okay?" Jade asked as Thierry helped her into a limo.

"They'll be fine. It's just here that's in danger." He reassured.

"Thank goodness…" Jade breathed.

Jade's limo sped off and Thierry steered Mare into a specific other one. He said something to the driver and they pulled away from the curb."

"Where are you taking me?" Mare asked the driver through the black panel between them.

"To a safe place." The driver replied, his voice muffled by the panel.

"Why? Why am I important? I understand you saving Jade, but I'm no vampire!"

"We're Circle Daybreak. It doesn't matter to us whether you're human, witch, 'shifter, vampire, or even were-wolf."

"But if you don't care what I am, why don't you save the rest of the humans?"

"I don't know much - I'm just a driver. But we're trying to save the other humans. You're apparently extremely important to one of our members, so you get extra protection."

"That's odd," Mare frowned. "I can't think of any Circle Daybreak member I'm important to. You must have the wrong person."

"What's your name?"

"Mary-Lynette Carter."

The driver hesitated. "Yes you're important. Very important."

"So you know my name, what's yours?" Mare asked.

"I'm not allowed to tell you that. The consequences may distract us from the task at hand."

"What consequences could come from you telling me your name?"

"Many consequences."

"Like?"

"Uncontrollable laughter. I'm pretty sure you'll hit me when you can."

"What?"

"Mare, don't you recognise me?"

There was a loud clicking noise and the opaque window separating them came down.

"Ash?" Mare spluttered.

Ask grinned. "Yep! And now that you've found me, you do realise that I'll never let you go?"

Mary-Lynette smiled in return. "I wouldn't expect anything else."

Ignore the other Ash/Mare getting back together thing I wrote, one-shots aren't supposed to make sense! And I know I should've written the other part for punishment, but it's tricky!
