Hey y'all! It's Emily here writing chapter two. Zenna wrote the first one. It's so great, isn't it? She's the bomb! Anyway, here I am writing chapter. As you have already read this story is going to be on both of our accounts so check them both out. Now I'd like to apologize for not being on here in forever and taking forever to write a chapter two! I've been so busy! And yes I will be getting a chapter three up for my story 'Baby Captain' ASAP. I've got so much going on and now I start driving school this week. It's 4 hours a day, 3 days a week, for 2 weeks. Seriously shoot me now. Alright, I think that's about all the rambling I've got. So, here's chapter. Enjoy!
Emerald Maitland: A 19-year-old with blond hair and blue eyes. She's the PA to Tony Stark and lives in Stark Mansion in LA with her best friend Emily Kay. She's headstrong, determined and devious. Tony pushes her around but like Pepper, she stands up to him and isn't afraid. Other than being the PA, she's a singer on the sidelines.
Emily Kay: A 20-year-old with short brown hair and green eyes. She's the PA to Pepper Potts and also lives in Stark Mansion in LA with her best friend Emerald Maitland. She's strong, determined and squally. She spends most of her free time with Pepper and over time, they've developed a strong friendship. Other than being the PA, she's a writer on the sidelines.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything Marvel in here. I don't own anything actually. Well myself, Emily is me so. But Zenna made up Emerald so she's all hers!
Emerald and I were walking up the steps to our favorite restaurant. We decided to go for lunch since we both had the day off. Well Em practically had to strangle Tony to get a day off. He could sure get on our nerves sometimes, but we loved him anyway. I open for held the door open for Emerald and she gave me a smile as thanks. We were seated fairly quickly. We sat down and ordered our drinks. I sipped my ice tea and noticed something to my right. I looked quickly and rolled my eyes.
"What's your problem?" Emerald asked me.
"Do you not see that guy practically drooling over you?" I said.
Em blushed, "No, where is he?"
I nodded my head to the right and she looked quickly.
"Oh he's cute" She said and went back to her menu.
"Go talk to him then" I said flatly.
She shrugged with a smile and went to go talk to him. I watched her talk to the guy. She returned with a piece of paper and a huge smile.
"He gave me his number" She said victorious.
I didn't reply.
"Oh don't be such a downer Emily!" She said. "Just because you're afraid to let anyone in doesn't-"
I interrupted her, "Whoa! I'm not scared! I just don't have time for a boyfriend."
"Right I forgot you're all business no pleasure" She said looking at her menu.
"Not true" I said.
Emerald eyed me.
"Ok, so it's a little true but-" I started.
"No buts!" She stopped me. "Live a little!"
She returned to her menu and she got me thinking. The rest of the meal was pretty peaceful. It was actually kind of nice considering Em has to work for Tony and I have to work near him. Em and I head back to Stark tower after that. We walked in the front door just in time to hear a loud bang.
I looked at Em, "Sounds like it's coming from the kitchen."
We walked quickly and there on the kitchen floor was Tony.
"Oh dude" I said and laughed.
"What happened?" Em asked, a lot more concerned then I was.
"Pepper happened." Tony said.
Tony's wrists were tied to two cabinets.
"Uh if this is a sex thing I don't wanna hear about it" I complained.
"No, it's just the opposite." He said.
Em and I helped him untie the knots. He stood up with a sigh.
"She's really pissed at me" He said.
"Why?" We both asked.
"For a dumb reason! I didn't 'formally' ask her to attend this charity event with me tonight" He complained. "I mean she's my girlfriend. It should be already expected that we go together."
We didn't respond and he said nervously, "Right?"
"Dude" I said.
"It's still nice to ask, it's sweet and romantic. Plus you two haven't really gone to anything big and public yet as a couple. You should have definitely asked." Em said and I shook my head in agreement.
"Dammit" He muttered. "Should I go ask her now?"
We nodded furiously. He fled up the steps.
"Wait!" Em stopped him. "This event, we don't have to go right?"
He turned, "Of course you do" He turned and went back to climbing stairs.
"Damn" She said.
"Are you really surprised he's making us go?" I laughed.
She shook her head laughing, "No."
We stood quietly for a few minutes until Emerald said, "I'm going to call that guy." She left the room with a smile.
I watched her walked away and sighed. I jumped when Tony stared talking.
"Guess who's not pissed anymore?" He voice boomed.
"Jesus you scared me!" I said.
He chuckled and walked over to the fridge, "Jumpy much?"
I sighed and nodded.
"So who's not pissed? Pepper?" I asked already knowing the answer.
"Yep, she accepted my apology and she agreed to go with me" Tony said. "Oh and I know youre not really a girl but-"
"Uh rude" I muttered, interrupting him.
"But we're leaving in about 2 hours" Tony said. "I don't know how long it takes for you to get ready. I know how long it takes Pepper" He rolled his eyes.
"But it's nothing fancy so don't worry" He took a drink. He took the bottle with him and walked down to the workshop.
Right after that Emerald returned with a smile on her face, "We're going out Saturday night."
"Wow that's awesome!" I held my hand up for a high five and she gladly gave me one.
I looked at the clock and said, "I'm going to go get a shower."
I went upstairs and into my room. I closed both doors, the bedroom and bathroom. I hopped in the shower. When I got out Em was sitting at my desk putting on make up.
"Can I help you?" I asked.
"You have better lighting" was all she said.
I rolled my eyes and grabbed a sun dress out of my closet. It was black and had a small, multi color floral pattern on it. I could feel Em staring me down.
"Tony said it wasn't fancy!" I said.
"I didn't say anything" She went back to her make up.
I grabbed my curling iron from the bathroom, after I dried my hair and plugged it in. I leaned my other mirror against my dresser, in front of my bed, and sat on my bed to do my hair. Like every other time, I curled my hair, I gave up about half way through and made Em finish it. When we had both gotten dressed and done our hair it was about 6:50. Em checked her self in the mirror one more time and then walked down stairs. After she left I put on a little mascara and blush. I went to my closet and grabbed my dark brown, cowboy boots out of the closet. I looked at myself in the mirror and prepared myself for all the hick jokes Tony was going to crack tonight. But I was used to them by now, I wore my boots everywhere. I checked myself one last time and turned off the light. I was walking down the steps at exactly seven o'clock. I entered the living room where Pepper and Em were standing.
"Beatiful girls, as always" Pepper said to us.
We smiled and said our thank you's. Em was wearing a periwinkle colored dress that landed a few inches above her knee. The heels she were wearing made her a taller then me, although the boots gave me a little height as well. But of vourse, Pepper was towering over us in her giant heels.
Pepper looked at her watched and sighed. She was about to go get Tony but he walked down the steps. He joined us in the living.
"Where's your horse Emily?" He cracked a smile at me and a small smile.
And so it begins…
And that's it for chapter 3! Hope y'all enjoyed and be looking out for chapter 3, which will be written by Zenna. Reviews are appreciated! Thanks. :)
