Hey babes! Back again with a new one for you! Sorry it's been a while. I've been busy with work and working on other stories. But I have not forgotten about this one.

Here you go! Got a few new characters popping up here. :)

Enjoy!

Stepping inside her apartment building, Skye lets the door fall closed behind her as she crosses over to the wall of mailboxes. She waves to one of the other tenants in the building as she passes by, giving the elderly woman a small smile.

"I'm really not sure if it's a good idea, Bobbi," she says to her friend over the phone, using her key to open her mailbox and then pull out the few items in it.

"What? Why not?"

She closes the door of the box and moves toward the elevator. "Because you barely even know the guy."

"Isn't that the whole point of going on a date with him? To get to know him?"

Skye shrugs, despite her friend not being able to see her. "Maybe. But from what you've described so far he kind of sounds like a creep."

"Oh. Really?"

She nods, stepping inside the elevator car and pressing the button to go up to her floor. "Absolutely. Maybe you should reconsider this guy, or just wait a little bit longer before agreeing to go out with him."

There's a brief pause on the line before Bobbi speaks up again. "Yeah, maybe you're right."

"Of course I am." She takes a moment to sort through her mail as she waits for the doors to open on her floor. "I'm always right, Bobbi. Having been friends with me for so long, you should really be aware of that by now."

"Yeah, probably."

Skye's hands freeze when her eyes land on a particular envelope among the few bills she has to pay. It's a sleek black envelope with her name and address scrawled across the front in a very fancy, but still legible, script. She quickly flips over the envelope and tears open the seal, staring down at the card inside as she pulls it out, her eyes slowly going wide when she registers the writing on it. "Holy no way."

"What is it?" Bobbi asks on the other end of the line. "What's going on?"

"I'm checking my mail right now and I just got an invitation to a Tony Stark party."

"Wait, really?"

"Yeah."

"Whoa."

"My thoughts exactly." The doors slide open and she steps out, moving down the hallway toward her apartment. She's careful not to run into anyone she passes as she continues staring down at the invitation.

"This is amazing, Skye."

"I know it is. I just...I honestly never thought I'd actually be invited to a party hosted by the Tony Stark. His parties are legendary."

"They certainly are."

"Everybody wants to go to one of his parties."

"Including me," Bobbi reminds her. "Which is why you are going to take as many photos and videos as you can for me while you're there so I can live vicariously through you."

Skye laughs as she unlocks her door. "I promise that I will."

"Good."

"I'm actually going to go now because I have a few things I need to take care of before my shift starts, but I'll call you later?"

"Yeah, sure. See ya."

"Bye."

Pulling her phone away from her ear, she sets it just inside on the counter and nudges the door closed with her foot. She toes her shoes off and sets her bags and mail on the counter, her mind still occupied with the invitation.

Focusing back on the card in her hand, she smiles wide at it, finding it hard to believe that it's actually happening. She's dreamed about moments like this; moments when she gets to take part in the things she always wished that she could.

Grabbing her phone off the counter again, she falls down onto the couch with a heavy breath and throws her feet up onto the coffee table.

Dialing a familiar number from her Favorites section, she holds the phone up to her ear and waits for the other person to answer.

"Hello?"

"Grant, hey. Are you busy right now?"

"Not particularly. Why?"

"I have something I want to tell you."

"What is it?"

She grins, bouncing a little in her seat. "I got an invitation in the mail for Tony Stark's party."

"Me too."

She sits up a little straighter. "Wait, really?"

"Yeah."

"Wow."

"I know. So are you going to go to the party?"

She scoffs. "Hell yeah, I am. There's no way I would ever pass up an opportunity like this. I've always wanted to go to one of his parties. I'm just a little sad that Miles is going to be out of town on the night of the party. I get a plus one, so I wanted to bring him with me, but he won't be able to go."

"Oh. That's too bad. I'm sure you guys would have had a lot of fun at it together. Tony Stark is known for having wild parties."

She sighs. "Yeah. Are you going to bring someone?"

"I don't know. I thought about it, but I'm not sure if there's really anyone I'd want to take with me. So I think I'll just fly solo."

"Well, then we can fly solo together."

"Yeah?"

She smiles and nods her head. "Yeah. What are friends for?"

"Oh man. I can't believe we're actually here right now," Skye states as she and Grant step out of the elevator and onto the main floor where the party is being held, everything already in full swing in front of them.

Her arm is looped through his, mainly to help keep her on her feet as she walks in her heels. It's not that she's a complete klutz in heels, but she definitely isn't her steadiest. And the last thing she needs is for her first impression at a major party like this to be falling flat on her face.

"I've always wondered what it'd be like to come to one of these," she tells him as she looks around the large room in front of them. Bright lights are shining and music is playing through the large speakers set up around the room as everyone talks and dances.

"Well, wonder no more," a familiar voice speaks from behind them. The only familiarity in it coming from the many times she's watched movies starring the man belonging to that voice.

Skye tenses briefly before she and Grant slowly turn toward the voice and she can't help the grin that takes over her at the sight of the sharply dressed man standing in front of her. "You're Tony Stark."

"In the flesh," he says with a kind smile before removing the sunglasses he's wearing. "And you're Skye. And you're Grant Ward. I am beyond thrilled to have you both at my party, I don't know why I didn't think of inviting you sooner. Please, feel free to mingle and get some food. There is plenty to go around, so don't be shy."

"Thank you," Grant says with a small smile and nod of his head.

Tony smiles back before turning around to join another area of the party, calling out the name of someone he sees, leaving Grant and Skye standing alone in the entryway.

"So, what should we do first?" Grant asks as they turn back to watch the large group of people in front of them.

"I have no idea," she replies. "I think I'm still in shock from just being here."

"Well then I suggest we find a way to get you out of that shock," he advises. "Because a couple of very famous actresses are currently making their way toward us as I speak."

Skye's eyes follow his line of sight, her breath catching when she sees the two women approaching them. "Oh wow. You're Pepper Potts. And you're Wanda Maximoff. Wow. I've seen everything you've ever been in and I am a huge fan of both of you."

Pepper smiles. "That's sweet of you to say. We're actually pretty big fans of yours as well."

Her eyes go wide. "You are?"

Wanda nods. "Absolutely. You are an extremely talented actress."

"Oh, uh, thanks. That really means a lot coming from you."

"We're glad the both of you could come to the party," Pepper tells her. "Tony always likes to invite rising talent to his parties, thinks he can adopt them as his mentees."

"Having Tony Stark as a mentor? Uh, yes please. Where do I sign up?"

Both women laugh quietly and her heart swells a little at the prospect of calling these women friends one day.

One of many dreams came true tonight, you guys. *TheTonyStark is just as amazing in person as he seems and he throws the absolute best parties known to man. I'm still a little in shock by the whole thing and it's a little hard to believe that I was actually invited to and attended a Tony Stark party. They truly live up to all the hype. *IMGrantWard is also a pretty great plus one, in case you were wondering. :)

IMGrantWard Plus one? I actually got an invite to that party too, you know.

SkyesTheLimit IMGrantWard Eh. Semantics.

CallMeBobbi I am so damn jealous of you both.

TonyStark Thanks for coming. Your beautiful face made the party that much better. ;)

AnnikaDavila: My two favorites together at a fancy party? This is the kind of stuff I live for, you guys. They're just so beyond perfect and I can't handle it.

Okay, but did anyone else notice how her boyfriend wasn't in the photo? Was he not there, since she referred to Grant as her plus one? Or was that just a joke and he really was there but took the photo? I'm so confused. What's happening?
