Hey! I just wanted to say a few things. First of all, thank you for reading and the reviews. They are always welcomed. English is not my native language so, please, if you see any mistakes please let me know because I want to improve and if my only source of vocabulary and grammar is Google Translator… well, that's the recipe for disaster. Second thing, feel free to leave any alternative universe, or situation where you want Gail and Holly to meet. You can also propose songs, or whatever you want. And third and last thing, I may continue the Library AU but, If I do, I will post again the first chapter a bit longer and changed, but I don't think it will pass the 4 or 5 chapters.
AU Where Gail and Holly meet on a bus ride whith Traci and Leo.
Gail used to pick up Traci on her way to the police station and they dropped Leo before they got there. But the day before that, Chris and Dov thought that it was an awesome idea to recreate the WHOLE STAR WARS SAGA. But they had to stop at the third movie when one of the lamps in Dov's room flew out the window and crossed the co-pilot window of Gail's car. Then it bounced and pierced the steering wheel. No one can explain how it happened. They were lucky that they had to leave for work before Gail arrived. But they were not spared from the wrath of Gail. When she got to the frat house from purchasing sufficient quantities of Cheese Puffs to stock up for a week, and saw the mess… "THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOU BOTH, YOU BETTER RUN, BUT I'M WARNING YOU. THERE WON'T BE ENOUGH EARTH FOR YOU TO HIDE…" "Gail… so-so… We are sorry… We know. But we are not coming back until tomorrow afternoon" "YOU WHAT?"
And that's how Gail, Traci and Leo found themselves on a bus that morning.
"Come on, It can't be that hard." Moaned Gail readjusting her bag between her feet.
"Gail, he is a 6 year old, it can be that hard" Answered Traci. "Besides, I'm not going to let you take care of Leo so you can skip one of your dates. I want to spend a weekend with my son; Lex had him the last 2 weeks"
"I didn't pick them, my mom did." Glared the blonde "And why is that? I am an awesome aunt. Am I not, buddy?" Gail tickled him on the tummy and his laugh filled the bus. "Come here cap" The officer said as she picked him from his mother's legs.
Gail played with him bouncing him in her legs. They made themselves laugh trying to steal each others noses and then plotting against his mother. Then they started arguing about the best pokemon and you couldn't tell which one of them was the child. While they were deep engaged in the conversation, they heard a giggle that was from none of them. Gail lifted her head and look at the girl that was sitting in front of her. She skipped a heartbeat. She was gorgeous. Her long black hair fell in waves beyond her shoulders. Her brown eyes were framed by those glasses that gave her a sexy librarian look. Like Leo had lost her blonde friend's attention he looked behind him to see what had her so groggy.
"You are very pretty" Gail's expression changed from amused to terrified Oh, did I just said that out loud "Isn't she?" Oh, it was you Leo. At the lack of answer he just clapped his hands on her checks and forced her to look at him. "Don't worry, you are pretty too". Gail smiled and kissed his forehead.
"Yes, yes you are" She didn't expect that the girl talked to her, and less that she would say something like that.
"Thank you" Smiled Gail, and tried to cover her blush.
"Do you know that they are cops?" Leo said turning in Gail's lap to face the girl.
"Oh, no, no I didn't" Answered the girl with a smile.
"Well, now you do. But…" Leo gasped in horror and covered his mouth with his hands "I can't talk to strangers" mumbled. "Ok, I'm Leo and I'm 6 years old, 7 in 3 months. This is my mom Traci and my ucle…" He closed his eyes and opened his hand signalling her to wait "No, my aunt Gail. I can hardly differentiate. Now I'm not a stranger. And you? Who are you? Do you work? How old are you? "
"Leo honey, slow down with the lady. You may be bothering her"
"Don't worry, He is not bothering me. He is a sweet boy."
"I'm not sweet, I'm a badass. Like my… aunt Gail"
"Yes we are cap" She extended her and for him to high five.
"I am Holly, I work like a forensic pathologist. So I think maybe I'll meet with your mom or aunt sooner or later. And I'm 29 years old."
"Wow. You are so old"
"Leo! The lady, Holly" Gail looked at her and smiled sweetly. She received a crocked and warm smile in return. "Is not that old. Your mom and I are both 26"
"The kids think that if you are more than 25 you have to be married, have a house, car and kids" The three adults giggled at what Traci said. "It's a different point of view"
"Are you?" Leo asked
"I'm sorry?" Holly asked leaning forward.
"Are you married?" He looked at her with a bright simle.
"Oh! No, no ring on my finger"
"Will you marry me?" Leo proposed hopeful. Traci and Gail opened their eyes wide open. Holly just blushed.
"Thanks a lot, but I think you are too young for me"
"But I will grow up" He pouted.
"And I'm sure you will find an awesome person, boy or girl, that will fall in love with you. But I'll be too old for you then."
"Mom… Can a boy and a boy, or a girl and a girl be in love with each other?"
"Yes honey, they can. And you know you are free to love whoever you want to, boy or girl"
"Oh! In that case I will marry Chad, my friend. He is so funny. Do you like girls or boys?" Gail couldn't stop herself from lifting her head like a rocket waiting for Holly's response. For something she wasn't really sure why, she really really wanted to know the answer of that wonderful and gorgeous woman.
"Leo, that's a very personal question" Traci reprimanded.
"Yes, I do" Holly answered watching Gail right in the eye.
The bus stopped softly. That was the stop of Leo's school and they (Gail, Traci and Leo) were meant to leave the bus. Gail glanced sadly to Traci and then back to Holly and smiled.
"I guess we have to go" Traci grabbed Leo from Gail's hands and put him on her hip.
"Well…" Gail started while she picked up her things. She wanted to tell her so many things. It was pleasure to meet you, to see you, to get to talk to you, that you smiled at me. You are beautiful. I'm looking forward to see you again.
"Oh! Gail, don't worry. You stay on the bus. I just remembered I have a meeting with Leo's teacher. Tell Best I'll be late."
"Are you sure you don't want me with you?"
"Nop" And then Traci was off the bus with Leo waving his little hand to both of them.
"I think it's just you and me then" Smiled Holly eyeing Gail from head to toe.
"I think so, Holly" Gail returned the smile. She suddenly realized that Holly had something on her lap. Gail rose an eyebrow, the smile not leaving her face, and looked again at her. "Is that a lunchbox?"
