Sorry this is such a short chapter, but I wanted to stop at this point, plus I don't have anymore written out. Besides, I wanted to get another chapter up.

Thanks for all the reviews:

SVU Chicky:Just when Parker starts to like Ashley, the last thing Spencer would want is to violate his trust with her. Besides, Spencer is a chicken. The one thing I like about getting into future fics is that you can chock up changes of character in changes through time.Even if you don't mean them to happen at all. I think that Ashley gives Spencer that firey passion she needed to to go into the lingerie store. Ashley has finally figured out that she needs to chill if she wants to get what she wants (there is a back story to that in my headthat I might get into in later chapters).

MistyRiver17: Thanks. Feel better. Here's a bit of an update to entertain your sick self.

His Keno Waitress: That is the most wonderful thing to say. Thanks so much.


It was 7 am when the alarm woke Ashley and Spencer up.

"Stay in bed Ash," Spencer ordered, "I'll leave in a couple hours to take Parker to Cindi's. That'll give you plenty of time to escape my room without being noticed," She started getting into her regular clothes. She didn't want to scare Parker or Cindi with her new old look. Besides, she wanted to surprise Ashley with it later, "I'll give you your present when I get back. You can change into your beachwear while I"m gone if you want."

"Okay," Ashley replied. She smiled slightly at Spencer's new found enthusiasm.

"When I get back, I'll have to get dressed, then we can get out of here," she zipped up her pants, then sat down on the bed to pull on her socks, she leaned over to kiss Ashley. Then she went back to putting on her shoes. She finished that, but before she could get off the bed, Ashley captured Spencer's hand and squeezed it tightly, but quickly let go. Spencer smiled to Ashley, then continued getting ready. She disappeared into the bathroom, then emerged ten minutes later in full make-up. The make-up had some flare, and was more exotic than she usually went for, but it was safe for her to wear as a mom. She could embellish it later if she wanted, "I'll bring you a cup of coffee," she said to Ashley as she left the room.

"Cream and sugar please!"

"Okay," Spencer made a new pot of coffee and got the newspaper. She read and ate a piece of toast as the coffee brewed. When the pot was done, she brought a cup to Ashley as promised, "I'll come in before we leave to say 'bye," Spencer told Ashley, "I hate all this sneaking."

"Me too," Ashley said, taking a sip of coffee.

"Today is our day Ash," Spencer said gleefully.

"Oh Spencer, I forgot to tell you, tonight I have to do something very important for work."

This shattered Spencer's smile.

"Don't worry. Its something you can come to."

"What?"

"I'll just leave it at that. I have to go out and get a few things for it, so if I'm not here when you get back, thats why."

"Okay," Spencer was suspicious, "Are you sure you want me to come?"

"I'm positive. It'll absolutely be a thrill for me."

"If you say so."
