Sorry this took so long to get up. I've been playing other games and not writing so much and there's homework andblahblahblahblah.
This chapter isn't really funny or action filled. It's just advancing the plot.
Hope you enjoy it anyway.

Night came rather slowly for some. Medic was dreading it and so everything was like some horrific slow motion movie. He worked on keeping Spy in some sort of stable condition as Demoman worked to get slightly sober. However, for certain other people, the evening couldn't come fast enough. Scout was zipping around, flailing in delight. This was going to be the coolest treaty EVER!
"When is it going to be eight?" Scout demanded as he rushed into the kitchen where Sniper was eating, "It's already seven thirty and I can't wait any longer!!" He stopped when he got a good look at the Australian, whose hair was surprisingly wet. The man hardly ever took showers; he was too busy sitting in his nest from dusk to dawn. "Woah, what's up with you? Getting ready to meet some girls for tonight?"
"Some of us 'ave better things ta worry 'bout, Mate." Was the simple reply.
"So what? You needed a cold shower too?"
Sniper tensed, and it looked like he shuddered lightly. "Nah, Mate, it was scaldin' hot. Nice treatment for the eyes."
Scout stared at Sniper for a long while, and the two settled into a very awkward silence.
Finally, the Australian pointed his fork at the young man. "Look. If you can't wait…" He twirled the pasta that Engineer made on his fork. He munched on it, swallowed, and continued, "…then find somethin' ta take up yer time. You were havin' a fun time thinkin' o' the girls before. Go do that somewhere private while ya wait."
Scout blinked at Sniper, and then raged a bit. "That wasn't anythin'! I was just…!"
Sniper shrugged and dropped the subject. "Look, we're tryin' ta give the shielas a reason ta trust us, so let's let Demoman do his work an' you'll get yer chance with a lady later, got it?"
Scout crossed his arms and looked away. "Yeah, I guess…"
Sniper punched the young man playfully on the shoulder, "Right then, so go get yerself ready, right?"
Scout lifted his cap up and smiled at the Australian. "Right!" And he was off like a shot from his pistol. Sniper shook his head slowly, finished off his pasta, and went to wash the plate. So all they had to do was wait…

The night sky outside the bases was quite a beautiful sight, and it was tranquil and silent, save for a couple of pairs of feet that shuffled across the sandy path outside of the blue fortress. BLU's Demoman and BLU's Medic walked forward and stood before the bridge, which was thankfully devoid of any booby traps. They looked across the way and saw a woman on the other side of the bridge. RED's Sniper waved them down and gestured for the woman at her side to follow her. RED's Soldier saluted her leader, and the two moved to stand on the bridge.
"I hope you lassies dinnae bring any weapons," Demoman said, suspicious of the two.
Sniper shrugged. "If I had my weapon, do you honestly think I'd be standing three feet in front o' ya?"
"Point taken," Medic said, adjusting his glasses. He looked at Demoman, and nodded lightly. For the moment, it was most beneficial for them to trust the women, at least for now.
The four met on the bridge, and they stared at each other for a few moments before Sniper spoke up. "So, big boys. Been a while since we've seen men on the battlefield."
"Same to ye, lass."
"I think instead of fightin', we should probably be thinkin' of ways to find out what's goin' on with the higher ups." The female leader turned to look at Medic, who was glaring at Soldier. The helmeted woman stared mutely at the two; she said not a word as she stood by Sniper's side, and the leader shrugged. "I assumed a bodyguard would be good, just in case. I would also assume that's why you have your Medic here?"
"The bitch is my advisor," Demoman admitted. Medic twitched and Sniper frowned at the use of words. "So, let's get on wit' it. Ya want a treaty, right? Ya got any thoughts?"
"Aside from a cease fire?" Sniper asked. She thought for a moment. "If we have a treaty, shall we have open access to the others' base?"
"Vhy vould you vant zat?" Medic insisted, frowning at the thought of women running around the base as if they owned it.
"We've all been lonely, aye?" Demoman said. "You against the idea, Medic?"
"Our Zpy is barely hangink on az it iz. It vas you frauleins who made him zat vay. I don't trust any of you at all."
"Now you listen and you listen GOOD, MAGGOT," Soldier suddenly shouted, her saliva flying as spittle when she spoke. She took a step forward and Medic retreated a couple of steps as the woman chewed the German out, "That little piece of shit grabbed my breasts and our Scout is crying from the defilement she endured at his hands. He deserved every little piece of crap done to him. The slimy yellow belly bastard's lucky to be alive, and the only thing I'm SORRY about is that he IS."
"Now now, Soldier…" Sniper turned and gave Soldier a pat on the shoulder, shaking her head with a quaint smile, "We mustn't be so jumpy. What's past is past, right? We are no longer enemies." The leader turned back to Demoman as Soldier turned back and snapped to a salute. Medic looked out from behind the Scotsman and took a deep breath. "I do apologize for my colleague's outburst. Shall we continue where we left off?"
Medic glared at Soldier and the woman stared back at him with a look that could kill.
The treaty went off without a hitch, but Medic was even more distrustful of the women because of Soldier's outburst. He just needed to figure out a way to show them for the bloodthirsty schweinhunds that they were…!
To Be Continued...

I dunno if anyone got the scalding hot shower joke. Basically Sniper did everything he could to rid himself of the sight of Scout when he needed his cold shower. It originally was left out but when my friend Myshu looked it over and mentioned that Sniper probably needed to wash his eyes out, I totally agreed with her and added it.
And iff you didn't get any of that, you may be a little too young to get it, and should not bother trying to know it.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Send a review my way please! Tell me what was wrong and what was right, a'aight?
