Chapter 5: The hook up. Part I.

I'd like to thank Saturn Princess and Maelgwyn for their reviews, thanks guys.

"You want to do what?!" Brad screamed as he fell backwards onto Tatany's bed. "Are you telling me Leena likes her?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying Brad." Tatany said with glee as she walked over to her bed and looked down at Brad happily. "And I want to get them together. I made a promise to Leena that I would at least try." She towered over him and leaned on his knees smirking. "Come on, please Brad?" She pleaded.

He looked up into her eyes and smiled at her slight pout. "All right, I'll help, on one condition."

"And that is?"

"I don't get in trouble for this. And you make me a cup of coffee." He said with a slight smirk. Tatany squealed and threw herself forward on top of him, wrapping her arms around his neck in the process. She buried her face in the crook of his neck inhaling deeply. "Ok, I see that you're happy."

"Thank you!" She said again as she sat up on Brad. She looked down at the mercenary underneath her and just had to laugh. He gave a weird look and made a small whimper, Tatany heard him and looked back down into his deep blue eyes. "Oh I'm sorry Brad. It's just you don't strike me as the kind of guy who would want to be deceiving. That's all."

He growled slowly. "What?" She leaned forward and folded her arms across his chest so that her face was just and inch or two from his. "You kidding right?" He propped himself up with Tatany still sitting on him. "I'm more deceiving than you."

"Oh really. Would you like to prove that?" She leaned in a bit to the point that they were touching noses. "There is no way you are more deceiving than me." She smirked and got up. "Catch yah later boy." And walked out the door.

'Did she just do that!' His mind screamed as he stood up off of her bed and stared at the door. 'She did! She played with my mind!' "Oh she's gonna pay!" He stormed out the door and stopped halfway down the hall. He smelled something good. "I'll get her after I get some coffee." He walked to the kitchen and stopped when he got a whiff of something smelling overly delicious. "What's cooking Jaime?"

"For one, I'm not Jaime, and two, it's eggs, bacon, pancakes, and coffee. I got a little hungry." Someone said cheerfully from the sink.

Brad turned to see the bright blonde pilot staring at him with bright blue eyes and a perfect smile. "You cook Tatany? When did this happen?"

"Hey, a bounty hunter has to make a living don't she?" She said as she sat two plates stacked with food down on the table. "Now eat, you are nothing but skin and bones."

"Didn't you say you were a little hungry? This could feed Bit, Leon, Jaime, and me and still there would be some left over." He choked as he stared at the heap of food in front of him. "Don't tell me you'll eat all of that."

"Of course not Brad. Some of its for us as well." Bit and Jaime entered the room and sat at the table. "Oh Tatany? Did you have too?"

"Bit, you don't get any. That's for Jaime and Naomi. I'm pretty sure it was you laughing at me earlier, was it not?" Tatany scoffed as she grabbed the plate out of Bit's hands. "Now apologize and you might get some."

"What!?" He screamed as she looked at him with that same gleeful smile. "You want me to apologize?"

"Oh just do it Bit! Do you want to eat or don't you?" Brad ground out as he looked from Bit to Tatany. "Before she kills you." 'Which I might not mind one bit Bit.'

"Fine… I apologize. You happy?"

"What was that?"

"I'm sorry!" Bit screamed as he stood to face Tatany. "Can I eat now?"

"Yes Bit dear." Tatany smiled triumphantly as she set the plate down in front of him. "Sorry Bit. But I just couldn't help it. And by the way, can I talk to you for a bit Bit?

Brad looked up into her eyes and noticed she had something else on her mind. 'Does she like Bit, can that be possible? Oh gods, please no.'

Everyone finished their meal and Bit and Tatany left the room slowly. Not knowing Brad was slowly trailing behind. "So what do you want Tatany?"

"I need your help Bit."

"For?"

"Can you hook Brad and me up…please?" Bit's face went totally white. "Bit?"

"You like Brad!" He shouted as she clapped a hand over his mouth. She reluctantly let go though. He slowly nodded to her request. "Only on one occasion though."

"And that would be Bit?"

"Could you help hook me up with someone." He pleaded.

"And who would that be?"
