Author's Note: I was listening to the radio one morning and they had a talk show on. They wanted callers to call in if they had ever been pulled over by an officer and asked out. One lady responded that she was frightened and wasn't breaking any laws. The officer just asked her for her number! (If it was me, I wouldn't but you know…) So anyway she did give him her number and they went out. Would you believe she got married to him?

As I started cracking up in my room I thought, 'Hey! That sounds like something fun to write about! What would a Ruroken character do if she were pulled over on a false alarm? Who would be better than a short-tempered weasel for this fiasco?!' And so I give you:

After the movie

Chapter 1 –Nice Night For a Drive

A tall spiky haired man with chocolate eyes, an even taller, jet-black haired man with icy blue-gray eyes, and the shortest of the trio; a cute little redhead with amethyst eyes walked out of the movie theater. The trio of cuties walked out as many teenage girls gawked at how adorable they were.

"Hey, that was the lamest movie I've ever seen." The spiky haired man, Sanosuke Sanosuke said to his pals. "Chick flicks are so lame. I don't understand how anyone can stand them."

"I second that." The ice blue eyed man, Shinomori Aoshi agreed.

"Oro? It was kind of sweet. Can you imagine falling in love like that de gozaru ka?" The smallest replied. The taller men stopped walking and glanced at the redhead, Himura Kenshin.

"Dude," Sano shook his head, "Sometimes I wonder if you are straight or not."

"Hey!"

"Drop it. Let's just leave this place, 'lover-boy'. There are too many little girls here." Aoshi began taking longer strides away from the sighing high school girls.

"Was Aoshi making fun of this one?" Kenshin asked pointing to himself.

"Yeah, he was. You're becoming too much of a softy on us, Kenshin." Sano took the redhead into a headlock and smirked. "We're starting to think you need some lovin'. What about that cute lil missy you are rooming with, eh? Didn't you catch her in the shower once…?"

Kenshin's eyes narrowed. "I'd stop right there, if I were you." Sano backed off the subject knowingly. Kenshin tilted his head to the left smirking. "Heh, this one would say the same for you too anyhow, Sano." His last words were muffled as he was trying to get out of Sano's powerful headlock. "Get off! You're messing this one's hair up de gozaru yo!"

"I want to go home." Aoshi began walking to the police car the trio shared leaving the two. Unfortunately, they had dragged him to the movies, which was unexpected. They had changed into regular casual clothes while he was stuck with wearing his uniform. 'Darn Himura and Sagara…'

The other two caught up with Aoshi laughing all the way, throwing popcorn and Snowcaps at one another. If you didn't know these people, you'd never guess they were police officers.

"I'll drive since you two seem…" Sano put his hands on his mouth and made a fart noise as Kenshin began cracking up. "…A little off today." They all piled in and Aoshi turned the engine on, rolling out of the busy parking lot.

"Hey, Shinomori." Sano called from the back seat, staring at the ceiling.

"What, moron?" They stopped at a red light.

"So you ever had a girlfriend?" Sano turned his attention to the window. A petite woman was singing to the radio while tapping on her steering wheel, smiling happily.

"…" Aoshi kept his eyes on the road.

"Aw, come on, you've had to have one."

"This one thinks Aoshi doesn't want to talk about it." Kenshin said with a mouth full of left over Snowcaps.

"Just a simple question… unless ice block here is too shy to counter." There was a long silence.

"No." The light turned green and the girl's car drove off in front of them.

"Ha! I knew it! Well today is your lucky day!" Sano jokingly punched Aoshi on the shoulder, nearly making him swerve into another car.

"Don't do that or I will throw you out of this car and make it look like an accident."

Sano ignored his remark. "It happens that there is a hot gal in that car ahead of us."

"Oh, yeah sure. I'm going to ask her out through the window. She'll think I'm some lunatic stalker."

"I've got something better. You'll pull her over and ask her for her number."

"You're one crazy son of a-"

"Just get her number, Shinomori. You don't have to call her or anything. Che, you can't even do that. You are all ready dressed like an officer, it's perfect!"

Kenshin looked between the men wondering what would happen next. 'Oro… I just want to get home safely.' 'But this could prove to be amusing…' 'No! Aoshi wouldn't like it!' 'Does it matter? Sano is the one who will get his ass kicked if it doesn't work. Besides, what about that comment about catching Kaoru in the shower? Are you going to let it slide?' With that, Kenshin slapped a silly grin on his face and kept quiet.

Aoshi was becoming irritated with Sano's jeering. "Chickeeen! Bock bo-- AH!" The siren went on and Aoshi picked up speed on the white Honda ahead of them. Kenshin and Sano's eyes bugged out and they held onto the seat for dear life.

"I wouldn't be talking, Sagara." He unbuckled his belt and got out the car. "I'm not the one who looks like a rooster head." Sano had steam coming out of his ears, but he'd give credit to Aoshi for having guts to do this. He jumped into the driver seat next to Kenshin and dug his hand into Kenshin's box of candy.

"Hey! Don't steel this one's candy!"

"Sit back and enjoy the real show, Kenshin, old buddy."

Makimachi Misao turned down her radio. Was that a siren she heard? She looked in her rear view mirror and saw an officer flagging her down. 'Ah! Oh my gosh what did I do? I wasn't speeding! My taillights are on, I made a signal, I'm not smoking or drinking, I have a full tank, and I'm not swerving!' She pulled over and pulled loose strands of hair behind her ear.

The tall officer got out the car and began striding over to her with large firm steps. 'Ee! At least a hot officer stops me.' She giggled to herself.

Aoshi reached her window and she rolled it down. "Um… hello officer?"

"Hi." 'Wow, her eyes are a brilliant jade color.' He thought.

"…" The young woman glanced around nervously.

"…" 'Now what do I say?' He glanced at his companions who were presently urging him to talk some more.

"Nice night?"

"I guess so." Misao replied. She stared at his handsome face and didn't blink. 'Hello? What was I doing that made you stop me?'

"So…"

"Listen, sir." Misao began getting annoyed at the officer's lack of explanation. "It's late, I want to get home and I'm not sure why you are stopping me. Please give me something besides standing over my window, trying to freak an innocent driver out."

"Em… I…" He turned back to his friends to see that Sano was holding up a piece of paper reading ASK HER SLUMBER.

"Do you want to slumber?" He blurted out.

"WHAT?" She jumped back in horror. Was he about to molest her?

Aoshi glanced angrily at Sano. Kenshin yanked the paper from his friend and his eyes went to giant saucers. He jumped Sano and took the marker, crossing it out and re wrote ASK HER NUMBER!

Aoshi turned back to the window. "What's your-"

"HIYA!" Misao opened her door harshly knocking into Aoshi's shins.

"OW!"

"TAKE THIS! AND THAT!" Misao pulled out her purse and began beating poor Aoshi up with it. "HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH A THING TO WOMEN THIS LATE AT NIGHT! YOU'LL REGRET EVER MEETING MAKIMACHI MISAO!" She pulled out pepper spray as Aoshi stumbled to his legs.

Sano and Kenshin couldn't help but laugh at the sight. The girl in the car was no taller that Aoshi's lower chest and was beating him up. Sano cracked up, popping more Snowcaps into his mouth as he watched the furious girl begin her next attack.

"Matte, matte." Aoshi grabbed Misao's wrists and stared into her stormy eyes. "Stop hitting me. I AM an officer remember?"

She put her offence down and blushed scarlet. "Oh! Sorry, officer! You said something offensive to me and I only reacted. You shouldn't say such things; I mean how many people stop you at eleven o'clock and suddenly ask you to sleep with them?! It was really your fault anyway and I mean aren't you happy I can protect myself anyway?" She clasped her hands together and realized who she was talking to when Aoshi just stood there unmoving. "Oh right! Please don't hurt me. I only want to get home and you were frustrating me and-"

Aoshi put a finger to her lips to hush the petite woman. There were minutes that passed as they stood in that intimate position; Aoshi holding her wrist and a finger to her lips as she stood close to him.

Sano and Kenshin leaned forward and watched all the while snacking on candy, as the couple stood there. "Gesh, you'd think Aoshi would have gotten her number and we moved on in our lives."

"Ah, but Miss Misao seems to be quite a spirited girl. She's lasted thus far."

"Listen Misao, that's your name." Aoshi finally broke the silence. She nodded. "Do you see those two guys in the car behind us? No don't look at them now."

She glanced slightly but averted her eyes back to him and nodded. "They've dared me to pull you over and ask your number… which I've never done before." He looked down and shuffled his feet. He felt like a total idiot, like he was back in high school asking his crush to a prom or something. "Eh… so what do you say?"

Misao tilted her head and grinned. Her grin turned into a smile in which she started laughing out loud. "Oh my! YOU wanted MY number?"

"…" Aoshi stood like a statue as Misao tumbled around on the dirt road trying to control her laughing. 'I knew this was bad idea! I'm going to shoot Sanosuke when I get back there. Okay just slowly back away and save yourself some embarrassment...'

"HAHA! Why didn't you say so? Sure I'll give you my number!" Aoshi stopped moving away and watched her pull out a pen and paper. "Looks like your friend over there needs to see that he isn't all that macho anyway. You didn't have to scare me half to death! You should see your face!"

Aoshi stared at the girl and he found himself chuckling lightly himself. Misao calmed down and waved to Kenshin and Sano. "She saw us!" Sano and Kenshin ducked down. "You're such an idiot Kenshin!" Sano whispered.

"What did this one do? This was all your idea de gozaru!" He whispered back.

"No! You let me do it so it's your fault little man!"

"Oro!"

"Hey you two." Aoshi opened the door and Sano jumped back into the back seat. "Can you shut up now?"

"Did you get Miss Misao's number, Aoshi?" Kenshin asked quite excited.

He held a little yellow paper between his index and middle finger. "What do you think?"

"All right, ice block! Way to go man!"

"And I think I will call her…"

"What?! Aoshi, man, it was just a dare."

"Yes, but… she sounds like a nice person." He watched the little white Honda drive away before Misao waved good bye.

"So?"

"So… I want to know her better." He turned around and gave Sano an ice glare. "Got a problem with that? Or are you just jealous, Sagara?" He smirked as he started the car engine.

"Whatever. I've had my fair share of women all ready." Sano buckled his seat belt and crossed his arms over his chest, pouting.

"Yeah! Remember Miss Sayo, his wife? And then they divorced right before Miss Sayo was killed in that car accident, and Sano was all depressed and punched walls a lot and-"

Sano hit Kenshin on the head. "Shut up."

"Orororo…" The three went on their way home for a good night's rest.

Misao turned her radio back on and picked up her cell and called Kaoru.

"Lo?" Kaoru asked tiredly.

"Hey ya, Kaoru. You wouldn't believe what happened."

Oro --Kenshin's phrase. It's just what he says when he's confused/surprised/etc. (Most of you know that anyway)

De gozaru/de gozaru ka/de gozaru yo --Just kind of what Kenshin says to be polite. Just think of it as him being REALLY, REALLY polite.

-dono --polite horrific for people you respect. Kenshin calls Kaoru Kaoru-dono, roughly like 'Lady Kaoru'

Right. Anything else you don't know just ask! Most of you know all this anyway…
