(This takes place one year after Meltdown from the Bubblegum Crisis Crash OVA.)

Priss' tailor 3am-

Priss' eyes shot open at the sound of the cell phone ringing, naturally she was angry for being woken up this early in the morning and snatched the phone off of the night stand.

"What?" She said groggily

"Is this Priss?" A woman asked.

"Yes."

There was silence from the other end.

"I said yes." Priss said. "Hello?"

She took the phone away from her ear and looked at the caller ID but it was restricted.

"Are you there?" She asked putting the phone back to her ear.

Still there was only silence. She hit the end button and put the phone back on her night stand and rolled over and put her arm around the person beside her.

"Who was that?" Linna asked sounding even more irritated than Priss was for being woken up.

"I don't know. Sorry it woke you up."

"UmmmHummm."

Linna was already well on her way back to sleep when the phone sparked back up.

"What the hell?" Groaned snatching the phone off the stand again. "Who is this!"

"I'm sorry to call this late." The woman said. "But I nee…"

Priss herd a thud from, the other side thin the line went dead. She shut the phone off and tossed it on the night stand and folded her hands behind her head.

"Did you turn it off this time?" Linna asked.

"Yeah."

Priss lay there in the dark with her hands behind her head for several minutes until she heard Linna sleeping soundly again before closing her eyes and falling back asleep.

Morning-

"Priss come on wake up." Linna said shaking the bed.

"Go away." Priss groaned.

"Priss you promised to take me to the mall today, so wake up so we can beat the crowds."

Priss rolled over and put her pillow over her head to drown Linna out and was rewarded with a pinch on the thigh.

"Hey." Priss yelled sitting up.

Linna was looking at her with a sheepish smile but was trying to look innocent. Priss reached behind her and grabbed her pillow and held it by the edges.

"Don't you dare. I was trying to wake you up."

"Yeah and now you're gonna get it."

Priss swung the pillow and caught Linna on the left shoulder and arm. Linna laughed as she grabbed the pillow and tried to pull it away from Priss. Priss just pulled the pillow towards her and pulled Linna along with it. She let it go as soon a Linna was within grabbing distance, Linna tumbled forward and fell right into Priss' arms and was instantly pinned to the bed with Priss lying on top of her.

"No fair I wasn't ready." Linna complained kicking her legs.

"Well you know what they say. "All's fair in love and war." Priss said and used her thighs to pin Linna's legs to the bed.

"Since when are we at war?"

"I meant the other one."

"Oh. Well the way I see it you have two choices."

"And what's that?"

"You can get off of me and we can go to the mall."

"Or?"

"Or you can kiss me and we forget about the mall and have some fun."

Priss thought about her options for a second making Linna start to squirm. Finally Priss swung her leg over Linna and stood up.

"Well lets get going."

Linna sat up and looked at Priss as she started getting dressed. She folded her arms across her chest and puffed out her lower lip like she was pouting.

"Oh like I'm going to fall for that." Priss said as she buttoned her jeans. "Well come on. The sooner we get there the sooner I can go back to sleep."

"You suck." Linna said and stood up. "What am I gonna do with you?"

"Love me for who I am that's what you're gonna do."

Priss finished getting dressed and walked with Linna out to her bike. The twin exhaust custom built bike that dubbed as her combat bike was shinning in the morning sun as Priss fired it up.

"Now how am I going to get my things back on that?" Linna asked.

"This is my insurance."

"What insurance?"

"Well I am paying today right? Well this is to make sure that you don't spend all of my cash."

"You have to be the cheapest girlfriend I've ever had."

Priss laughed and handed Linna a helmet and mounted the bike. Linna stood by the bike for a second before putting on her helmet and getting on behind Priss. Priss waited until Linna had a firm grip around her waist before gunning the bike into the bike into a wheelie and speeding towards the mall with Linna holding on for dear life.

Three hours later-

Linna walked back into the trailer with a rather big smile on her face and holding three very large bags in her hands. She looked back as Priss came stumbling through the door loaded down with more bags. She tossed the bags on the bed and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"How in the hell did you manage to get all of those bags on my bike?" She asked heading for the refrigerator for a beer.

"Never underestimate the power of a shopping woman." Linna said as she started rummaging through the bags.

Priss sat down on the bed next to the bags and looked at her cell phone.

"I thought I forgot that."

She picked it up and turned it back on. She hadn't missed any calls in the past several hours but thin again ever since she stopped singing her phone had been rather silent. She set the phone back on the night stand and lay down on the bed making sure to knock at least two of Linna's bags onto the floor.

"Hey watch it." Linna said grabbing the bags. "I have fragile things in these bags."

"I'm gonna catch a nap." Priss said ignoring Linna to the fullest of her ability.

"Fine, grouch." Linna said taking all of the bags off of the bed. "I'll just smother you in your sleep."

Priss chuckled as she faced her back to Linna and started to fall asleep only to have her phone ring.

"What do they have? Radar?"

Linna laughed as Priss grabbed the phone.

"Hello?"

"Priss? Is that you?" The same young woman said.

"Listen I don't know who…"

"Please listen to me." The woman interrupted. "I need you help. I'm in trouble."

"And what kind of trouble is that?"

"It's me Sil…"

The line when dead before the woman could say her name

"Hello? Hello!"

"What is it?" Linna asked.

"It was that girl from last night."

"Oh how nice you have an admirer."

"I don't think so."

"Why?"

:She said she was in trouble. She was about to say her name but all she could say before the line went dead was that her name was Sil."

"Could it be Sylia?"

Priss picked up her phone again and dialed Sylia's number.

"Hello?" Sylia said picking up her phone.

"Sylia its Priss. Did you just call me?"

"No I didn't. Why?"

"No, nothing sorry to bother you."

"No bother at all Priss. Hey why don't you and Linna come by some time. I haven't seen you in a long time."

"Yeah ok we will. "Bye."

Priss hung up her phone and looked at Linna who was looking through another bag.

"So was it her?"

"No."

Priss looked down at her phone expecting it to tell her what she wanted to know. But it was silent.
