Foxy's eyes popped open abruptly, and met Fillmore's. "Uhh... I.. Can explain..." Foxy replied after the two hastily separated. Fillmore looked at her curiously, and she began trying to babble an answer as to why she had done what she did. "Uhh..." The corners of her mouth turned upwards into an open grin.

Fillmore silenced her with a gentle nuzzle, and a quiet purr from his engine.

"Fillmore, you're hurt."

He shook his front, then continued watching her with a wry smile, one eyelid lifted slightly higher then the other.

"Fillmore, I mean it." She noticed his expression, and her eyes grew wide. "No." She squeaked before he began tickling her mercilessly, laughing slightly.

"What was that for? Was it free love?" He asked with a playful grin as Foxy writhed around, slipping out of the beanbag chair and quickly ending up on the floor. Fillmore didn't stop tickling her, and finally she shouted out, "Stop, stop, I'm gonna puke!"

Fillmore laughed, but didn't stop tickling her.

"Okay, okay! Yes, it was!" She let off a shrill squeal, then a loud string of giggles and Fillmore continued tickling her sides.

"It was what, man?" He asked with a rarely seen devilish grin, taking off one of her boots.

"Noo, Fillmore!" She shrieked, then began giggling louder as Fillmore began rubbing his tire along her foot.

"What are you two DOING?" Lightning asked from the doorway, looking at them in disgusted confusion.

Foxy and Fillmore turned to look at Lightning simultaneously, Fillmore still holding Foxy's boot in a tire.

"N-Nothiiiing... What are YOU doing?"

"I was coming over to ask you if you were all right, Foxy."

"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied with an offhanded smile.

"I could hear you two from the road, you know that, right?"

"Now we do." Fillmore replied, and Foxy grinned.

"Now it's MY turn, buddy!"

She leapt to her feet, and poked Fillmore in the side. "There. Now we're even."

"You two should just make out already." Lightning sighed, shaking his hood as he rolled back out of the entryway.

Fillmore and Foxy shared a glance, and an identical wry grin, then Fillmore began tickling her in the sides again. "Fillmore!" She shrieked, giggling as she dropped to the floor.

Fillmore began laughing, and continued tickling her.

"Nooo." Foxy whimpered, giggling as she curled up into a ball, trying to prevent Fillmore from tickling her.

He began tickling her feet, pulling off the other boot. "Fillmore, no!" She squirmed and tried to rotate herself away from Fillmore, but he followed her, and kept tickling her. She rolled over, curled up like a little pillbug.

Fillmore laughed and nudged her in the sides, making her giggle and end up spread-eagled on the carpet, looking up at the top of the dome.

"Hey, Fillmore?"

"Yeah?" He replied, laying down beside her.

"What exactly is 'Free Love'?"

"Kinda like what ya did earlier." He replied, and she rolled over onto her side to face him.

"Really?"

Fillmore nodded.

"That was fun." Foxy replied, and Fillmore gave her another wry smile. She darted for the beanbag chair, but Fillmore was slightly faster. He reached up a tire and nudged her in the side, watching as she crumpled to the floor, giggling. He began tickling her feet again, and she let loose a shrill string of giggles, kicking her feet erratically.

Fillmore dodged her feet, laughing, and kept tickling her.

Finally, about a half an hour later, panting and giggling weakly, Foxy sat up. She hiccuped loudly, and her hands flew to her mouth. She hiccuped again, louder and squeakier. Soon, Fillmore was chuckling and nudging her sides, which he discovered made her hiccups different-sounding.

After a particularly loud hiccup that sounded like a lion, Sarge rolled to the entranceway.

"Fillmore, you better not be showing her any of that 'Free Love' crap!"

Foxy walked to the curtain, still hiccuping. "No, I just have the-HIC!-Hiccups!" Foxy giggled, and hiccuped, producing a growling noise.

Fillmore nudged her gently, pulling up beside her.

"Fillmore!" She shrieked, giggling and hiccuping.

Fillmore looked up into the sky with a smile. "That wasn't me, man."

"Yes it was! I-HIC!-Saw you!" Foxy laughed, giving Fillmore a playful shove.

He glanced her way, and nudged her sides again. "Fillmore, no!" She squealed, darting out into his yard. He chased after her, nuzzling her sides whenever she came close enough. Sarge shook his hood in slight disgust with a sigh, then departed Fillmore's yard, going back over to his hut. Meanwhile, Fillmore had chased her down the road, and to Flo's. She hid at Doc's side, trying not to hiccup and giggle.

"What are you doin', Foxy?" Sheriff asked, confused.

"SHH! Fillmore's trying to get me." She hiccuped suddenly, and it was so loud and squealing that Fillmore heard it just entering Flo's.

"Where'd she go?"

"Uhh who?" Lightning asked, looking confused.

"Elizabeth, man."

Foxy hiccuped again, and clapped her hands to her mouth. She kept her hands pressed over her mouth, but bounced when another hiccup came. Her head bobbed above Doc's fender, a bright flash of red.

"Run." Doc muttered in a low voice, trying not to laugh, and she took off, laughing.

Fillmore chased after her, and soon caught up.

"No, Fillmore! Not there!"

There was a long chain of shrill giggles, then Foxy came running barefoot back into Flo's, her head whipping around in a panic. She couldn't find another hiding spot, and Fillmore gently nudged her in the side with a tire, making her giggle and sink to the ground. As soon as she was lying on the pavement, Fillmore began tickling her feet, and her laughter grew louder, as she began kicking out with her feet, hiccuping, and spinning around in a circle.

"Is that what you two were doing all afternoon?" Lightning asked, and Foxy squealed loudly.

"YES!"

Lightning laughed, and Foxy got onto her hands and knees, crawling away from Fillmore as fast as she could. Fillmore followed behind her, running a tire down her feet. She began laughing, and hid behind Strip, peeking around him at Fillmore.

She stuck her tongue out at him, laughing, and he drove around to the side entrance of Flo's. "F-Fillmore!" She squealed, looking around frantically for an escape.

Fillmore nuzzled her gently, and she gently placed her hand on his front end, seeing the dents for the first time. Not all of them were deep, but not all of them were shallow, either. She yawned slightly, and hugged Fillmore's front gently.

"C'mon, Elizabeth."

"You're not gonna tickle me, are you?" She asked around another yawn, and a hiccup.

Fillmore chuckled, then shook his front.

"All right." She stood up, yawning. The two departed Flo's, and Foxy curled up closer to Fillmore when the two laid down, purring happily. She had to admit, it had been a bit awkward, waking up and finding herself kissing Fillmore, but she couldn't deny that it had been nice. She wondered if he had ever had any other girlfriends, and what types of cars they were.

'Just wait until I tell the girls back home that I kissed a car, and liked it.' She thought with a smile. 'If I ever get home.' She thought, and her smile faded.

"Somethin' wrong, Elizabeth?" Fillmore asked gently, seeing her saddened expression.

"Nothing's wrong, just thinking is all."

"'Bout what?" He asked, giving her a gentle nuzzle.

"Just about my old home. This place is really nice, and it's better then I've ever dreamed, and I couldn't imagine a better place to live, it's just..." She sighed, and as she looked down sadly, Fillmore was attempting to make up his mind.

'She looks mighty sad. Maybe if I did it, just once, just to cheer her up?'

His mind was made up, and just when she looked up, he kissed her again. Her eyes grew wide with surprise, and he felt her stiffen, but then she relaxed and began kissing back, her eyelids drooping as she enjoyed the kiss.

They broke apart shortly, and she blinked in surprise.

"F-Fillmore..." She seemed to be at a loss for words, and he nudged her gently.

"Feelin' better?"

She gave him a soft smile, and nodded. "Thanks. I needed that."

Fillmore chuckled, then pulled her closer, and the two drifted to sleep.

Little did they know, Lightning had just seen the entire thing. "I can't believe they actually did it..." He blinked in surprise, then grinned. "Hey, Guido! You owe me five bucks!" He called, rolling over to Luigi's.

The next morning, Fillmore awoke before Foxy. He looked down at her as she rolled over and snuggled into his side.

"Mmmm..." She sighed happily before blinking sleepily and yawning. As she sat up, stretching, Fillmore nuzzled her gently.

"Hi, Fillmore." She replied with a sleepy smile, and he returned the greeting. She yawned, putting her sleeves up to muffle the sound, and Fillmore ruffled her hair gently with a tire.

"Still tired?"

She nodded, then curled up at his side, snuggling against him. "Wait, what's the date today?"

"I dunno. Maybe November twenty-ninth. Why?"

"That means that it's almost Christmas!" Foxy replied with a smile.

"Not for another month, Elizabeth." Fillmore told her, ruffling her hair gently again.

"Always gotta spoil it, right?" She teased with a grin.

No way was he going to let her get away with that. He tickled her feet until she was screaming with laughter and pleading with him to stop.

"Stop, stop, please!"

He didn't stop, just laughed slightly and kept tickling her feet. She begged him to stop in between her laughter, and he finally stopped, driving back to her head and nuzzling her gently. "C'mon, let's go to Flo's."

She stood up and got one of her boots on, glancing his way with a grin. "I don't trust you." She was teasing, but Fillmore got his revenge by nudging her in the sides. She ran away from him, hopping crazily on one foot as she tried to get the other boot on.

Laughing, he chased after her as she hopped out the beaded doorway. He chased her playfully around his yard, making it very hard for her to get her boot on.

"Fillmore, can I at least get my boot on?" She laughed as he tickled her.

"Nope." He replied with a laugh, tickling her even more, and sending her hopping away, looking like a strange kangaroo. She made it out to the road, and stood, hopping in place, forgetting to put her boot on as she focused on Fillmore.

He drove towards her, and she hopped down the road as fast as she could without toppling over. She managed to hop all the way to Flo's, the others giving her looks as though she'd gone crazy. "Fillmore-wouldn't let-me-getmybooton!" She panted as Red drove over to her worriedly, her foot in the air, her boot in her hand.

The others chuckled, and Fillmore drove into Flo's.

Before he could tickle her, she pulled her boot onto her foot. "Oh, it's stuck!" She squealed with laughter as he tickled her sides. She hopped back and forth across Flo's, trying to get her boot on the right way.

Fillmore wasn't helping by tickling her every time she turned her back.

Finally, she plopped down in between Doc and Sheriff, falling backwards to lay on her back, her foot in the air as she wrestled with her boot. The two laughed as they watched her boot wiggle back and forth erratically. "Need any help?" Sheriff asked as he laughed.

With a low pop, her boot went on correctly. "Nope, thanks though." She stood up and huffed a small sigh as she looked at Fillmore. "Now that you've effectively woken me up without the use of caffeine, what do you want to do today, Fillmore?"

He chuckled along with the others, and Foxy plopped back down, laying on her back again. "You'd think that getting a single boot on wouldn't cause so much trouble." She sat up when Flo brought her coffee with a light laugh.

Fluff, fluff everywhere! Guido made a bet with Lightning on Foxy and Fillmore, Fillmore's pervy side involves tickling (xD Oh, god that sounds wrong.), and the ending scene is my favorite. Free love is something every hippie from the sixties knows about, so I had to have Fillmore ask if it was. *shakes finger scoldingly* Pervy Fillmore!

If anyone would, could be so kind to read my new story, 'The Apocalypse', I'd be more then delighted. I've been working on that one on my laptop, but then it took a dump, and that story, along with other ones, got erased. I tried to put as much as I remembered into this one. If you like this one, let me know, that way I can decide to upload all my other stories on here. If you do read and tell me what you think, I thank you sooooo much in advance, since I'm leaving for D.C. Later today! and EmilyTheBrave, thanks! I will! I'm glad that you've stuck with me for so long, even when the road has been rough. xD (Cars reference.) You're my bestest internet buddy, and I thank you for telling your friend about it! She loved it! :D
