I'M SORRY! I'm SO sorry you guys! I've been absent from FF for freakin' ages. Gotta be like a month :S I have a chapter for you, but just be warned it's epically short. And I'm using 'epically' in the failure sense -.- But I gathered that this is better than nothing after a month of nothing, and to just let you know I am very much alive. I've just had bad writers block and not been in the right mood for writing or reading fan fic. I will get back in the swing of it soon though :) Enjoy guys, and hopefully I haven't lost you all in my absence, lol 3

Chapter 25: Mischief.
"I don't think it's a good idea for you to come with me on this mission, Megan. I think you should stay here with Leonardo." Ezio tells me quietly as he holds my arm gently and ushers me to the side. A confused and disappointed expression is then written on my face, whilst I look at Ezio.
"What? Because I am a woman?" I bite back under my breath. "Ezio, how many times have I been evading death with you? What's the difference this time? I don't need to be mollycoddled!" I exclaim, confusion falling over me like a net. Ezio lets out a frustrated sigh and throws his head back slightly. Is Ezio not telling me something about this mission?
"It's dangerous. I'm just looking out for you Megan, because I care!" he mutters back under his breath, his face now closer to mine to make me get the message loud and clear.
"Ok, ok! Don't have a fit about it…" I mumble back, feeling my cheeks heat up. 'Because I care' What does that mean? In a friend way or more than friends? Oh, stop it, Megan. You're gonna make your brain blow up. Yes, she's going to blow me up. Alright, brain. No need for you to join in as well.
"I just don't want you to get into trouble, mia cara… Besides, there isn't much you can do, truth be told." Ezio explains. I guess he is right. I'm not exactly flying the machine and saving the Doge. Not that he's gonna be saved anyway. He's just gonna be choking on his own blood and rudely pointing at Ezio declaring him a killer. Fun times for him.
"Well, I guess I'll just let you get on with it on your own then" I back down, accepting the fact that I have no part in this mission. I'm actually pretty bummed. I really love to help Ezio. Oh, hold the phone… During the mission, Grimaldi flees like a complete pussy. Maybe I could stop him from getting too far, and help Ezio that way? Hey, don't raise your eyebrow like that. I know it's not much, but it saves Ezio from having to chase after the nincompoop whilst the guards are trying to skewer him. Hmm, sorted. Lovely jubbley. At this point in time, a mischievous smile is spreading on my lips.
"Megan?" Ezio asks curiously, seeming a bit creeped out as well. I snap out of my little ponder and the smile disappears instantly as I look up at Ezio.
"Yes?" I reply, my eyes slightly wider than usual as I wonder what embarrassing thing I've been caught doing.
"Why were you smiling like that?" Oh crap, he saw that smile… Ezio's tone then ascends, "What are you thinking of?" he asks me, as he folds his arms and raises his eyebrows. A smile also appears on his face. So yeah, just your typical suspicious, disbelieving look, really.
"That is none of your business, mister" I firmly state, grinning.
"I do hope you weren't imagining me naked…" he states whilst grinning madly, as if trying to keep laughter contained. And thank you, Ezio. Now I'm going to look like a freakin' tomato! And I totally just imagined him naked! Oh, golly gosh and oo-er!
"N-no…I wasn't!" I reply, trying to laugh to cover up the awkwardness. Ezio just has to chuckle at this.
"No need to lie, mia cara" he teases, whilst flashing 'The Melter'. That's all I need. Right! Get it together, Megan. You are a cucumber. And a cool one at that.
"You're hilarious, Ezio. Really!" I reply, rolling my eyes and laughing. Oh, I love you sarcasm! Ezio smiles back and then it starts to fade. The mood turns oh so serious as the focus is put back on to the mission at hand.
"Please, Megan. Don't do anything stupid. Don't concern yourself with the flying machine or the guards." he pleads, his voice soft and gentle.
"I won't" I reply, shaking my head reassuringly.
"Promise me" he says, his tone now firmer and his eyebrows raising slightly.
"I promise" I whisper, my voice almost choked.
As Ezio walks away, the mischievous smile surfaces once again. I won't be paying the guards or the machine a visit. Carlo Grimaldi, however…
