Notes: Just a little something I wrote today at lunch for a friend who was having a bad day.

SHUT UP AND KISS ME

"God," thought Sydney Fox.  "When he gets started it's so hard to shut him up."

Her TA and friend, Nigel Bailer, had been talking about some prophecy that had come to light on one of their relic hunts for the last 20 minutes and he was seriously starting to get on her nerves.  So she did the only thing she could think of to shut him up.

Nigel suddenly found himself unable to talk due to the fact that a pair of warm, soft lips were firmly covering his own.  The kiss ended almost as soon as it began.  "That shut you up," thought Sydney, with a smile on her face.

Nigel just stood there, shocked.  He very touched his lips and looked at her.  "Why?" he asked.

She shrugged.  "It seemed like a good idea at the time.  You were droning on an on and it was the only way I could think of to get you to shut up."  She smiled, smugly.  "It worked, didn't it?  Anyway…"

She was interrupted by Nigel.  "Syd," he said, smiling.  "Shut up and kiss me."

So she did.

The Beginning.
