Surrenders
The pair took their positions facing each other, guns at the ready.
'What am I gonna do, I can't shoot her! She's my girlfriend! I hope she don't shoot me...feh...' Vash thought to himself, through the serious exterior.
'Haha, this is gonna be fun, this is what he gets.'
She flashed him an evil grin.
'She's gonna shoot me!'
"START!"
She grinned and shot 5 times, making him dodge behind the stone wall. She took cover while she could, watching over the top of the wall. He stood an started to run to a different cover, she shot, missing. He dived behind another wall and she quickly reloaded.
"Mr. Vash has not used *one* bullet!" Came the announcer's annoying voice.
They both stepped out from behind the cover, and stood face to face. Red jackets flapping around their ankles in the breeze. A thud and a gun fell onto the sandy ground.
"Vash has won the round without using a single bullet!!"
Vash's mouth fell open. Danni picked up her gun and put it back into the holster, walking back to the reast of the group. She sat on the floor and hugged Bounty.
"Why'd you drop out?" Vash asked sitting down next to her.
"Lots of reasons."
"Care to explain?"
"I didn't want to shoot you, as much as I really did, I couldn't. I couldn't shoot my best friend, I've loved her since 7th grade. Even though I should have for all the things she's don'e to me," she added the last part as an after thought.
She stroked Bounty absent mindedly behind the ears.
"So, you'd rather have me shoot her? Or her shoot me?"
"Neither."
"How the hell do you want me to do this!?"
"I'll tell you how."

This time Britt and Vash faced eachother. Britt was in her snake skin trench coat, facing the infamous Vash the stampede in his well known red one.
'This better work,' he thought.
"GO!"
It sounded as if one bullet had been shot, yet both competitors were realoading, crouched down behind a stone wall. Britt was the first to move from behind the safety of the stone. She poised waiting for him to move. He stepped out, several shots fired. The exchange of bullets went on for a full 15 minutes. Both Britt and Vash were tired and out of breath. Two shots rang out into the silence. They faced each other, both without guns, both guns lay between them, both put their hands up in surrender.
"Just get the guns!!" someone yelled from the crowd.
"I'm out of bullets!!" They said together.
"We'll split the money!" Came the girl's voice.
She picked up her gun and put is safely away. Vash did the same. They shook hands as their friends cheered and screamed rushing over to them and tackling them into the sand.
"FEH! DOG SLOBBER!" was the last understandable thing anyone heard.

"I say we buy a decent house with it," Danni insisted.
"It's only $$9,000!" Meryl yelled.
"Can't we at least look? I need a stable place to stay, and so does Britt, we can't sleep on sand and in hotels forever."
"But where? Everyone's going to know both you and I have bounties?" Vash said to her.
"NO the people who give us hotel rooms obviously don't, and plus I like this town, it's nice, it reminds me of home in it's own way," she pleaded with them.
"Alright we'll look I promise," he said throwing his beautiful aqua eyes into her green ones.
"Yay!"
"We have to find one for 7...er...9 people though," Meryl said looking doubtful.
"Plus a dog," she added as an after thought.
Bounty barked happily.
"We should get going then, now shouldn't we," Millie asked a bit over excited.
"Yes we should Millie!" Danni said just as cheerfully and grabbed Vash's hand and pulled him out the door of the hotel, knowing the others would follow.

"This is the main room. The rest of the house has 4 bedrooms, 2 upstairs and 2 downstairs. 2 full size bathrooms, the kitchen and dining room, and a spare room. Not bad for $$7,000, eh?"
No one answered the tall thin house owner. He led them around the house with Bounty ahead sniffing eagerly and wagging his tail.
"See," Danni whispered to Meryl. "The third one we've seen and it'll fit all of us, even has a play room!"
Meryl grunted. Vash and the rest of the girls looked positively giddy and Wolfwood, as usual, showed no expression what so ever.
"Do you like it?" The man asked.
"Yeah I love it! Guys?" Danni asked with eyes that said 'if you don't say yes, you'll break my heart.'
"We love it, we'll take it," Meryl said to the man. ____________________________________________________________________________ __
