Thankyou for all the reviews on the last chapter, it made me want to write another one so here it is! Let me know if you think it's any good and if you think I should continue it. I kinda did this on a spur of the moment thing as it was my prom the other day and so I thought it would be a fun idea. I'm not sure how it turned out, maybe a bit mushy? Anyway let me know. Also, hello to my friend Steph if she's reading this!

Ash & Mary-Lynette: Reunion: 2:

Ash had been back in Briar Creek just over a week, and he had spent pretty much all of that time with Mary-Lynette, much to her father's dislike.

"He'll come around, don't worry about it. But it doesn't matter, I'm not particularly fond of him either," Ash said as he lounged back on Mary-Lynette's bed. "Hey!" he shouted after being slapped on the arm, "Okay I'm sorry. At least Claudine likes me."

"A little too much I think," Mary-Lynette replied. Claudine couldn't get enough of Ash, always trying to get his attention one way or another.

"Jealous?" Ash teased.

"No," she slapped him again, "but just remember that you belong to me."

He smiled and started playing with her hair as she sat next to him.

"Is there anything you want to do tomorrow night? We could go see a film or something?" He asked.

"Sure... Oh no, wait! I forgot to tell you, it's my prom tomorrow." She twisted around to face him, "You could come if you like?" She hadn't meant it to come out as a question, but she was actually quite wary of Ash's reaction. Instead he completely shocked her.

"I'd love to," and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Mare come on, we're going to be late!" Ash shouted from the bottom of the staircase of his sister's house.

"In a minute!"

What were they doing up there? Ash thought to himself. All afternoon, his sisters, Rowan, Kestrel and Jade had been helping Mary-Lynette get ready for her prom tonight. He didn't see why they were taking so long. To Ash, she was beautiful whatever she was wearing. She could have worn her filthy, old pyjamas and he wouldn't' have minded.

Just then he heard footsteps at the top of the stairs and turned towards the noise... And couldn't believe his eyes. Mary-Lynette was stunning. She was wearing a short black dress which was tight on top and stuck out like a ballerina tutu at the bottom, with small sequins on. Thin tights covered her legs with a dark line down the back which seemed to make them double in length. Her shoes were black and blood red, with little bows on the back, and appeared to make her as tall as Ash.

He stared at her face then; she had tied her dark hair back with pretty clips, leaving only a tiny bit of hair falling down in delicate curls. She wore minimal make up, except for her lips, which were a deep red colour and made her skin look like ivory silk in comparison. Then to complete the look, some little black lace gloves.

"Ash?" Mary-Lynette asked, biting her lip, "You okay?"

"I'm..." he cleared his throat, "You look... unbelievable." She smiled, clearly pleased with his response, but her cheeks still flushed light pink as if she were embarrassed. This just made her look even more beautiful.

"You know you don't look too bad yourself."

"Oh, thanks." He dismissed the comment. Ash knew he looked good in his tux, but he was still taking in the appearance of Mary-Lynette.

He was staring at her lips when she interrupted him, "Okay Ash, let's go."

"As you wish Miss Carter."

Ash led Mary-Lynette down the porch stairs, along the path and towards where he had parked his car.

"After you," he said as he opened the passenger door for her to get into the car, before shutting it again. He was around the car and into the driver's seat quicker than any human pace, but instead of turning the car on, he faced Mary-Lynette.

"What?" She asked, whilst self consciously checking her dress and face in the rear view mirror.

"Nothing." Ash replied, before leaning in to whisper in her ear, "You just don't realise how... intoxicating you are at this moment." Mary-Lynette shivered as his warm breath tickled her neck.

"Oh." Was all she managed to say, but the fact that her heart beat increased and her breathing became hitched did not go unnoticed by Ash, who began to trace his lips back and forth against her jaw line.

Almost as if she couldn't wait any longer, Mary-Lynette moved her head to the side so her lips met Ash's. She reached up to intertwine her fingers into his hair, while he delicately placed his hands on either side of her face.

Mary-Lynette? As much as I am enjoying this, if we want to get to that prom of yours on time, we have to go.

She groaned as she pulled herself away, "Your right, we should get going. I don't want to ruin my lipstick!" We can always continue this later, she added mentally.

Ash laughed and gave her a quick peck on the cheek, "Yes, we can. I love you."

"Love you too, now let's get this over with."

Ash didn't complain as he started the car and made his way to the school.
