Another chapter up! If you guys have any ideas for the story, please let me know! I'm almost at the end of my idea rope for the moment.

Disclaimer: I do not own or make profit from Flashpoint or its characters or East Side Mario's. I own only Alexis, Nate, Mark, Jess, Jayle, Nara and Mira.

Enjoy!

"Hey, what cha doing up so early?"

Alexis paused in her running at the sound of her boyfriend's voice. Turning her head, she saw him leaning against the side of his SUV. "Habit from school, and I figured I might as well use this time to run."

Spike let out a sigh and walked down his parent's driveway to her. "You're supposed to be taking it easy, you know." He told her.

Alexis smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, Spikey. I've just wanted to get out, I guess."

"Well, that's alright." He told her, chuckling. She smiled at him, and he leaned forward to capture her lips in a kiss. His arms reached up and pulled her closer. "Be careful, alright?"

"Only if you are."

"Deal." With that, Spike hugged her for a moment before stepping into his SUV. Alexis watched him drive off, waving until he was out of sight.

While Alexis finished her run and relaxed, Spike was stuck with Team One, and they were happy to tease him.

"Hey Spike, what did you do after we left?" Lou started, causing Sam to laugh.

"I'm afraid to hear the answer!"

"Ah, come on guys, I'm not that mean to you!" Spike tried to defend himself good naturedly.

Wordy rolled his eyes as the others laughed. "Keep telling yourself that, Spike, and maybe it will come true." Ed told him, patting him on the back on his way out of the change room.

"Come on Jules, help me out!" Spike begged, hiding behind her.

"Not a chance." She told him, stepping out of the way.

"HOT CALL, TEAM ONE! HOT CALL!"

"You can tease Spike all you want later, alright? Let's keep the peace, Team!" Parker called to them as he walked by.

Spike ran to catch up to Parker. "Thanks Sarge!"

Behind the Bomb Tech and Negotiator, the others laughed before Lou called up to him. "Make sure Spike's somewhere safe, Sarge! Hate to send him to his girlfriend hurt!"

Spike turned and shook his fist at them but a smile was evident on his face.

*At East Side Mario's—11:05 pm*

"Oh come on, Alexis! You can't expect us to believe you didn't do anything!" Jess yelled, hopping up and down.

Alexis opened her mouth to defend herself but found herself cut off by Jayle. "Oh, leave her alone. Alexis isn't that good of a liar. Now come on, we got work to do." Jess continued to fight as she was pulled away by her older sister. Laughing, she turned back to her spot only to find Mira and Nara waiting.

"Well, cough up! I want the information, chicky!" Nara told her, waving a finger in her face.

Alexis shook her head, smiling. "Nothing. He drove me home; that's it."

Nara let out a sigh. "Alright, I'll let you off the hook this time but when it happens, I am going to be the first person to know, you hear me?"

"I hear you, Nara. You'll be first in line." Alexis promised as her friend walked away.

"Poor Alexis. Everyone wants to know what happened." Mira said, smiling. "Aren't you glad you have me?"

Alexis smiled at Mira. "I'm very glad to have you."

"Good, then I expect to hear second." Mira told her before walking away.

Alexis hung her head and muttered as she started to wash the pots. About twenty minutes later, the other girls left as they had fewer dishes to wash. Almost as soon as they had left, Alexis's phone was ringing. "Alexis here...Jess, what are you babbling about?...Look outside? Alright...When did he get there?...Thanks guys. See you later."

"What was that all about?" Mark asked as he finished drying his dishes.

Alexis gestured outside as she spoke. "Spike's waiting for me."

Mark cocked an eyebrow. "Why are you keeping him waiting?"

"I'm not done yet; the girls kept me from starting earlier." She explained, gesturing to the still wet dishes.

"Don't worry; Nate and I will get them. You go see your boyfriend."

"You sure?" Alexis asked though she was already backing towards the coat room.

"I'm sure. Get going!"

"Thanks Mark!" Alexis called as she grabbed her coat and headed outside.

Once outside, she ran towards the SUV. "Hey! How long have you been out here?" she asked as she clambered into the SUV.

"Only about ten minutes. Please don't tell me you walk home by yourself." He leaned over to hug her before starting the SUV.

"No, Mark and Nate usually walk me home. I'm not that stupid." She told him, shaking her head.

"Glad to hear it. I'd worry about you." He told her honestly.

She leaned in to kiss his cheek. "You're too sweet, you know."

Spike grinned cheekily at her. "One can never be too sweet."

Alexis rolled her eyes at him. "Sure, Spikey, sure."

"Well, here's your stop 'Lexis." He told her as he pulled into her driveway. "Take care." He grabbed her wrists and pulled her into a kiss, wrapping his arms around her. They stayed that way until they ran out of air, and broke apart smiling.

"Take care, Spikey!" Alexis told him, eyes twinkling. "Thanks for the ride!" she waved at him until she stepped inside.

"Night 'Lexis." Spike murmured before driving back to his parent's house.
