Author's Note: I changed Ashley's age to 21, sorry for that. But the guy she will be dating is in between the ages of 23 and 26, so her age had to be changed. I would like to thank Saddles18 for helping me decide to change Ashley's age. Sorry for the long wait, I was trying to place the chapter together and it was taking longer than I realized. I am so sorry that this took so long to update! I had a bad case of Writer's Block and it drove me insane!

Ashley walked the halls of the B.S.A.A heading to the offices, where she worked. She smiled to those she knew and nodded her head. After the incident a year ago, she finally was well enough to go back to work. Her father figure had fretted over her after he was told that she would not eat, because of his state. But that was a year ago, she is now twenty-one years old, and is working with her friends and her new family. Except for Claire, she worked at Terra Save, but other than her she was with her entire family. Ashley finally made it to her destination and walked in the door. Chris, her captain and father figure was in his office, and her mother figure, Jill, was at her desk. She walked to Jill and asked for the paperwork Chris gave her. Jill gave her half of her own paperwork and shook her head and said, "How do you even work in here some days?" Ashley smiled at her and answered her, "With luck, I guess." Jill shook her head again and went back to work. Ashley went to her desk and returned to work. The door opened and someone came in. Ashley's crush and best friend, Piers Nivans, . When they first meet they bumped into each other and she split hot tea on his uniform. No matter how many times she told him that it was her fault, he said that it was his fault and that he wasn't looking where he was walking. Which Ashley swears that he was looking where he was going. And ever since that incident they became best friends quickly, and they became partners on any missions, unless Jill didn't go then he was Chris's partner. But then again, each time she saw him, she was either a mess from working at a nearby gardening shop, or at her desk in the office. Most often was the latter. Ashley and Piers were always seen together. Once someone thought that they were a married couple! Trying to explain that to Chris was a nightmare, do to the fact that he kept laughing at their embarrassment. Jill was no better, maybe a little worse. And that was recent also, just two days ago. They were teased where ever they go and Ashley ends up fretting over that. It was most diffidently awkward, for the two of them. After a couple of months Ashley was getting tired. Jill told her that she thought he liked her but wouldn't admit it. Even though she just guessed by the looks that he shoots her at sometimes. She still acted like a teenager with a crush. And her family was very amused with this. The only thing was, that no one knew that she liked him, except for her. Ashley kept a look that said `Do you really think I care`but in reality, she was screeching her head off.

Ashley had to work a late night. While the others celebrated an engagement for Billy and Rebecca. The others were worried about her, but she told them that the paperwork had to be done by morning. They weren't too sure, but they left it drop. At about eleven o`clock. Piers came in, uniform and all. Ashley raised an eyebrow at him and asked, "What are you doing here?" Piers smirked at her. "Well I came in the office." Ashley was fuming with his answer. "You are awful. I meant, why are you here?" Ashley was annoyed with him. Especially, where he had gotten smart with her. "I came into here because, I wanted to help you with the paperwork." Ashley was shocked with that. She hadn't expected him to come back and help. Then she wondered how he had gotten out. She put that thought behind her as soon as he walked over. Piers grabbed half of the paperwork from her desk and worked on it. Ashley was gaping at him like a goldfish. And started back on the paperwork she was working on. It was around one o`clock when they were officially done the paperwork. Ashley called Chris, just to tell him that she should be home soon, due to the fact that she was finished the paperwork. Jill answered the phone. "Ashley, stay the night at Piers's house. Chris, Claire and I have gotten way more drunk than we thought." Ashley sighed. And answered her. She hung up and asked Piers if she could stay the night at his place. He was very amused with her explanation. Ashley was just blushing. They looked at each other at some point and looked away embarrassed. Ashley stayed in the guest room at Piers's house. God forbid if she kept her thoughts up, she would never fall asleep. Her thoughts kept progressing as she laid there on the bed, as she was trying miserably to fall asleep, but nothing was working. So when morning came around, she had to get up. She was a little snappy. Piers did not look any better. ''Tea or coffee?'' Ashley glared at him and huffed. ''You should know this Piers.'' She growled. He nodded his head tiredly. They drank their beverages in silence until Piers asked the question on his mind. ''How did you sleep last night?'' Ashley sighed, ''Is it really that obvious?'' Piers nodded his head. They finished getting ready for work, and they were off. When they walked in, everyone was smirking at them. Ashley and Piers looked lost. They had no idea why everyone was watching their every move. During the next couple weeks, the whole B.S.A.A was freaking them out. They had no idea what they wanted. And she was frustrated with Piers, he kept staring at her and she had no clue what to do. And she was suspecting that Chris, Jill and Claire weren't even drunk that night. From the looks that she had gotten from them. She was ready to scream, so when Piers came and sat beside her,stuttering, she said in a rush line, "PiersIreallylikeyouandIknowthatsoundswrongsoforgi veme." He gave her a blank stare and gave her a questioning look. Ashley took a deep breath and said more slowly, this time for him to hear. "Piers I really like you and I know it sounds wrong so forgive me." What she was expecting was him to be grossed out, not when he lead her into the courtyard and kissed her.

Hehe! Cliff hanger! I know, you hate me. Anyways, school starts today so it will be slow updating as of now. But *giggles like a manic*I will get more evil as each chapter progresses! If you see any mistakes, don't hesitate to tell me. I already spell checked it, but there might have been something I missed. Hope you enjoyed!
