So sorry this took so long to post up! But we had a massive snow fall and my school was shut for 3 days so I had some brother-snowball-contests to catch up on :) So here's an extra long chapter to make up for it!

BettyRoss is Betty Ross, the Hulk's girlfriend, Steve is Steve Rogers (Captain America) and Pete is Peter Parker (Spiderman) although I'm sure most people can probably guess :)

And in case anyone isn't sure- a Girl Friday is another word for a female assistant who does basically everything! (So it sums up Pepper completely!)

Bossman- Hey Rhodes.

RhodeyRhodes- Hey man, what's up?

Bossman- Pepper isn't talking to me, AGAIN!

RhodeyRhodes- Why?

Bossman- Well… I think it has something to do with the fact that I kissed her, but she's denying it.

RhodeyRhodes- Hmmm…

Bossman- Any ideas?

RhodeyRhodes- Something to show how sorry you are?

Bossman- That will involve thinking of something that I think Pepper will like, which involves thinking about what girls in general will like…

And I'm not sorry! I'm glad I kissed her!

RhodeyRhodes- She may not feel the same way, although she probably will. And how does thinking of what girls like present a problem …?

Bossman- My idea of what girls like compared with what they actually like will be quite different…

I doubt Pepper will talk to me again if I give her a thong :P

RhodeyRhodes- Well… think Pepper. What would Pepper like?

Bossman- Um… flowers?

RhodeyRhodes- That's too general, it's the kind of thing that all girls would like.

Bossman- But I'm not sure what Pepper would like, and isn't general good? Because then at least I can't get it wrong!

RhodeyRhodes- I doubt Pepper would appreciate it though, you need to think of something that only Pepper would like, thinking in general isn't so good because it will then look like you haven't tried very hard.

Bossman- I see where you're coming from… hang on…

Bossman has sent an instant message to BettyRoss

Betty, would you mind signing on? I need to talk to you.

BettyRoss- Hey Tony, what can I help you with?

Bossman- I have a girl problem.

BettyRoss- :O Wow, if the press gets hold of that there'll be a media frenzy!

Bossman- Ha ha, and I'm being serious!

BettyRoss- Would this be a girl problem, or a girl Friday problem?

Bossman- Girl Friday, very much so.

BettyRoss- Now what have you done?

Bossman- I kissed her.

BettyRoss- About time!

Bossman- Yes, well, Pepper didn't seem to take it like that.

BettyRoss- Ah, how so?

Bossman- Well… she's ignoring me for one.

BettyRoss- She's in denial, it's a girl thing, she'll get over it.

Bossman- Yes, but, how will she get over? Have I just traumatized my best friend?

BettyRoss- Maybe… but I know that really she was probably longing for you to kiss her. Was it romantic?

Bossman- On my balcony on New Year's watching homemade fireworks.

BettyRoss- Very romantic :) And I loved the Stark fireworks! Did you realize they made the front page?

Bossman- Really? Nice :) And how could you have seen them?

Wait a minute… how do you know that she was longing for me to kiss her?

BettyRoss- I was staying in Malibu to go for a conference the next day, the fireworks were the highlight of my trip, everyone was running out into the street to watch, the Iron Man one went down a treat! And Pepper's a woman, I'm a woman, we can tell these things Tony.

Bossman- Can you tell if she'll ever talk to me again?

BettyRoss- She will, just give her time.

Bossman- I'm not sure if I should do something to show her that my intentions are (for a change) honorable.

BettyRoss- Well… don't pressure her to give you an answer, give her space, and maybe give her something to decorate her office with? You can say it's a New Year's gift.

Bossman- Now there's an idea… what should I give her?

BettyRoss- Maybe a picture?

Oh! I got it! Remember the party we had at the Avenger's base just before Christmas?

Bossman- The one where Steve got so drunk he was talking to the wall for an hour? Yes…

BettyRoss- Wasn't there a picture of you and Pepper out in the snow? See if you can find it and frame it, I bet Pete will have it.

Bossman- Great idea! I'll get right on it! Cheers Betty.

BettyRoss- Not a problem, Tony, let me know how it goes!

Bossman- :)
