I laughed as I tripped over Ben's feet. He spun me around and lifted me in the air. I smiled down at him, wrapping my legs around his waist. He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. I burst out into laughter as Ben placed me on the bed. He was soon on top of me, kissing my neck. My hands tangled into his hair. He pulled his head up and let his lips fall to mine. I slowly licked his bottom lip, wanting to explore his mouth like I've done so many times before. He quickly abliged and opened his mouth. Our tongues battled for dominance. His hands groped my waist. His hands pushed my shirt up, revealing only my stomach. He pulled back and softly ran his fingers over my fading bruises. I closed my eyes, relaxing under his light touch. Ben whispered inaudible things which I barely took notice to.

His hand stopped moving. I opened my eyes slightly, wondering why he stopped. He stared at me with questioning eyes. After showing no signs that I actually know what he asked, he laughed. "Do you wanna get out of here? Go some place fun?"

Ben and I hadn't been out in a while.. not ever since.. it didn't end well. I gave him a skeptical look. "It didn't go too well last time.. I don't want you getting hurt again." He chuckled softly, pulling my shirt back down. His lips met mine in a soft, tender kiss.

"We will be fine this time. I promise," He stated as he helped me from the bed. "But just to be on the safe side, we should avoid resturaunts." He chuckled. I gave him a confused look. Where would we go if we weren't going to a resturaunt? "I was thinking.. maybe bowling?"

"...Bowling? Is there even a bowling rink around here?" I asked unsure. I wasn't the most coordinated. This could end terribly. Ben could see the slight uncertainty in my eyes. He held my hands and laughed.

"Ohh come on scaredy cat! It'll be fun. There is a rink in Tilt. Meet me downstairs in 10. Wear something that is acceptable for bowling please. I don't need any horn-dog pervs staring at you." He said sternly. I laughed and rested my hands on his chest.

"You're right, can't have anyone stealing your job, can we?" I laughed as I leaned up, giving him a peck on the nose. He pointed a finger at me.

"Funny." Ben stated seriously. "Now hurry up before I end up taking Keith." He laughed as he closed the door behind him. I giggled to myself. Now that would be a sight to see. I walked to the door and flipped on the light switch. The bright light stung but soon my eyes adjusted. I placed my styler on, checking the time. It was still early in the day.

I walked to my dresser and pulled all the drawers open. What to wear, tis the question. I contemplated a few minutes before getting too frustrated. "WENDY!" I yelled. Within a minute or so, the door opened revealing the gorgeous dirty blonde. She wore her usual uniform. Her hair was a long dirty blonde color with beach blonde highlights. Yes they are real. Two star barrettes were clipped on either side of her head, holding her usually wavy hair in place. She had a slim yet lean body structure. Nothing to complain about. In Sven's words, 'She is a keeper.' Those two are so mean't for each other.

She looked at me with curious light green eyes. "I need your help." I said hopelessly. She was the most ecperienced of the rangers and I trusted her judgement most. She laughed and walked over to me. After a few minutes of sifting through all my drawers, she chose a see through white tanktop with medium sized blue stripes going horizontaly. She also selected a pair of my very short shorts. They were a light blue with darker blue lace accenting to sides. I quickly ran to the bathroom and dressed. When I emerged, Wendy smailed and gave me a thumbs up. We walked to my hair dresser and she quickly side braided my hair, curling the small pieces that fell near my face. Wendy added a touch of mascara to my eyelashes, then a dab of blush to my cheeks.

"All done." She smiled. I looked in the mirror and smiled slightly. It felt like a bit too much.

"Wendy, am I overdoing everything?"

"What are you talking about! You look great! Now, get down there and go kick Ben's ass at bowling." She ordered with a smile. I nodded and thanked her for everything she has done. As I exited the room, I slipped on a pair of black flip flops. When I walked down the stairs, I saw Ben, Keith, Sven, and Lunick practically drooling over some girl on America's Next Top Poké Model. Kate and Solana sat at the table in the kitchen, playing cards. I walked over to the boys and whacked each of them upside the head, one by one. The girls laughed at them.

Solana ran over, hopping onto Lunick's lap, stealing the remote in the process. She flipped through the channels, landing on the baseball channel. "Nationals are playing!" She yelled excitedly. Wendy squealed running down the stairs, hopping onto Sven, followed by Kate, hopping onto Keith. I gasped as Werth walked up to the batters box. He is my favorite player. Besides Morse that is. I was enjoying myself watching Werth hit a double down right field until Ben grabbed my elbow and pulled me to the door.

"Wait! Harper is about to hit!" I pouted, still straining to see the T.V. Ben gripped my waist, trying with all his might to get me out the door.

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME , UMP? THAT WAS OBSTUCTION ON THE FIELDER! HE PRACTICALLY STOOD IN HARPER'S WAY!" Wendy screamed. Ahh! What happened!? Ben was able to drag me out the door before I could hear anything else. I glared at him while he began cracking up.

"It is not funny at all! Do not seperate me from the T.V. when the Nationals are playing. Especially when Werth just smacked the ball to get a double. Are you trying to go to the hospital?" I said sternly. I loved baseball more than anything. Almost. Ben just began laughing again. I crossed my arms and walked faster in front of him. For a few moments, he was silent. Then I heard a long whistle. I turned to see him staring at my lower half. I pointed upwards, directing him to my eyes.

He gave me a toothy grin. "I thought I told you to wear something appropriate? Now I'm going to have to chase these horn-dogs away from you." He sighed.

"Don't worry, your face will scare them off.." I laughed. He gave me the 'You're Going to Get it' look and began chasing after me. I screamed playfully and ran across the small bridge. Ben was on my heels. I ran faster, arriving to Booker's Bridge. I turned my head slightly to see that Ben had trailed behind a bit. He was looking past me. There was a look of shock on his face. I slowed to a jog but my body collided with something. I fell back to the ground, smacking my head on the wood. Around 6 pinchers stood before me, all smirking down. I growled slightly. What are they doing here? The Pinchers organization was taken down..

"Thought we were gone, didn't you? We are the last loyal Pinchers left and we are here to take you down. Now, whats a pretty little Ranger like you doing out here all alone?" One of them asked huskily, pulling me off the ground by my hair. They must not have seen Ben if they thought I was alone. He pulled my hair tighter. "I asked you a question." He growled, pulling my body close. He had a crooked nose, along with familiar eyes. Ha. It is the pincher I kicked the shit out of twice.

"Anything but you" I spat. My fist collided with his nose. I heard a satisfying crack as I turned to run. Three pinchers grabbed hold of my arms. They held me in front of the Pincher I just punched. He staggered forward, clenching his bleeding and even more crooked nose. I stiffled a snicker. What a prick.

"Your little boyfriend isn't here to save you now." He laughed. I felt a blow to my stomach and I fell to one knee, cringing at the pain. He advanced on me, grabbing my chin with his bloody hand. He examined my face, finding my every flaw. "Such a pretty face.. Too bad I'm going to have to fuck it up!" His fist flew back. I closed my eyes and waited for the blow to my face. It never came. My eyes opened slightly. Ben hand the pincher's fist, squeezing it at an unbearable pressure. I heard his hand crack under the force of Ben's grip. He sceamed in pain. The other Pinchers released me, backing away in fear. I spun around, kicking them to the ground in one swift motion.

Ben released the Pinchers hand and he fell to the ground in agonizing pain. Ben glared down at him, slightly smirking."If you ever touch my girl again, I'll fucking end you." He growled. The pincher nodded his head quickly and got up to run away. Before he could leave, I tapped his shoulder. He turned to me and with all my might, I punched him in the jaw. He fell to the ground, staggering to his feet. One of the pichers tried helping him up.

"This bitch is crazy, lets get the hell outta here!" He yelled running further away from us. Ben looked at me and I looked at him. A few seconds passed before we burst into laughter. I held my stomach in pain. Half from the laughter and half from the punch I recieved. Ben wiped away a tear from his laughing fit. He walked over to me. I punched his arm. He stepped back with a surprised look on his face, waiting for me to elaborate.

"Where the hell do you wonder off to?" I asked in a semi serious tone. He laughed and put his arm around my shoulders.

"I didn't want them to see me. I knew I could have the element of surprise, so I took it. But if you want, we can go back home, if you're that upset." He smirked. I pushed his arm off me and continued on my way to Tilt Village. "Yes ma'am." I heard Ben say as he jogged behind me. What a dork.

"I told you I would win!" I exclaimed in Ben's face. He laughed at my actions. I knew I was going to win. I'm a fucking champion.

"Ohh please, the only reason you won is because I was too distracted by those damn horn-dogs trying to hit on you." Ben countered. I only scoffed. We walked in a peaceful silence, our hands joined. The sun had begun to set, giving a creamy orange glow. I smiled and took in a breath of the spring breeze that blew Cherry Blossoms around in the wind. Everything was so peacful. I could get used to something like this. Yea.. I could definitely get used to this.

We walked into Rand's house to the sounds of yelling and laughter along with the sweet smell of a home cooked meal. Kate was chasing Keith around with a broomstick. She was soaking wet. Solana, Lunick, Wendy, and Sven were cracking up on the sofa. Rand sat at the table with Nema, trying to stifle his laughter. Leanne was at the stove, laughing her head off. "Get your ass over here, Keith!" Keith could barely stand up, he was laughing so hard.

Ben walked over to Sven and asked him what happened. Sven could barely speak. "K-Haahahah-Keith had Kate hold a bowl filled with water on the ceiling with a broom stick. Then he left her there and if she moved, it all would have fallen. So he runs around the table and smacks her ass as hard as he can. She lets go of the broomstick and slips on the water! Hahahah, funniest thing I've seen in a while." Ben and I burst into laughter Kate jumped onto the table and whacked Keith on the head with the broom stick. He fell to the floor laughing but clutching his head.

"Stupid shit." She growled. "Clean all this water up!"

He pouted and crossed his arns. "Can't it wait till after dinner?"

"NOW!" Kate yelled. He stuck his tongue out at her but accepted the paper towels Leanne handed to him.

A big smile spread across my face. I can definitely get used to this.
