Author's Note: It's November when they start to date and, then it's around mid December. I just wanted to clear that up. And I want to finish this chapter either on or before Christmas.

Abby was surprised. She did not expect Piers to be that bold. Not to kiss her anyways, but they still had to tell the others. But until then she wanted to have her boyfriend to herself. She didn't want to have to answer any questions that her family might have. But, Abby knew that she would, at some point tell them that her and Piers were dating. And, she prayed that she wasn't drunk when she makes that confession. That would be embarrassing. So, Ashley did the most reasonable thing and said, " We will pretend that we are not dating, and we will tell them, when we are ready. Or do you just want to come out and say it?" Piers looked thoughtful for a moment, and said, "No, we will keep to ourselves until we are comfortable with telling people that we are dating now." Ashley nodded her head and decided that they should get back inside. As they walked toward the office, everyone decided to look over at them. Piers and Ashley had decided to walk a bit faster, than normal. While people stared at them both. When they were in the office, they went to their desks and continued working, on some paperwork. At the end of the day. Both, Piers and Ashley had offered to do most of the teams. Which they gladly gave half of it away. People were still staring at them, and it was getting on their nerves. "Stop staring at the both of us, please and thank you! You are starting to freak me out," Ashley hollered out. Everyone just shook their heads and went back to work, smirking.

One month later...

"Hey Ashley!" Someone called out. Ashley turned around at the sound of the voice and smiled at the person. "Hey Rebecca. How are you and Billy?" This time the other woman smiled at her and replied with a simple, "We're good. Still figuring out when to have the wedding though. I was wondering if you would come to the B.S.A.A's Christmas party?" Rebecca was met with a dumbfounded expression from her friend. Ashley blinked a couple of times, and stared at her. "What? I didn't know the B.S.A.A even held Christmas parties." That came out more like a statement than a question. Ashley wondered what she would be getting into if she did go. Rebecca grinned at her and commented, "It's the first one they are holding because they usually, don't have anytime to throw one. But, this year is different, because they wanted to do something special for the ones who suffered greatly from some of the incidents, that happened recently. Ashley cringed at the words recently. That last mission they went on was horrible. A few lives lost within that one. They were just grateful that they didn't lose as many people as Africa. No one would forget that. Not a person that was there with them at least. "I'll go then. Is it a fancy one?" Ashley was curious, and when she got curious she went to what was offered. No matter the cause. Rebecca's smile got bigger and Ashley had gotten scared. "You, Jill, Claire and I go dress shopping in three days." Ashley swallowed hard and nodded her head. She was now terrified, because when she had to go dress shopping with Claire, Rebecca and Jill. She was bound to get a dress that she liked, and that showed a lot of leg. The day they went dress shopping, was the day that all four of them had a day off, she found out. Actually, she was so posed to work, but the sneaky devils had gotten the day off for her. Ashley was talking to Piers earlier that day, and they were saying how the both have to go out and pick outfits out, for the dance. They were both terrified, more terrified than their last mission together. And that was scary. Considering the fact that they almost lost the whole country, was worrisome. But, their captain, AND teammates going shopping with each other. That was even more scary. "Chris hates to dance! I made him dance once, because I was bored," Ashley exclaimed. Piers shook his head, but agreeing with her. Something was up, and he had a feeling that it involved alcohol. And someone getting drunk... This would be interesting. When it came time that they went shopping, both of them were ready to pass out.

Ashley's P.O.V

I text messaged Piers saying, Hey, sorry, I can't make it. Going to be a bit late. That was when the three stooges, came. I texted him again this time using their favorites colors it said, I got red, blue and green. Repeat, red, blue and green! I prayed that he knew what that meant, even though it will take a few moments. I hoped he text me back. I may as well cooperate. Sort of. Claire, Jill, Rebecca and myself were going shop to shop, when Claire exclaimed, "What color dresses are you three getting!" I honestly gave Claire a look that clearly said, "you're kidding me right." Claire giggled, and I just stared at her. "I think I'm going to get a blue one, what about you, Jill answered." Claire smiled largely. And answered, "Red." I mentally groaned at her answer. It's her favorite color and her most color she wore. And of course she would get a red dress. Rebecca apparently got the game and replied, "I'm getting a purple one, I don't want to be reminded by the Raccoon Incident. And I can't use white yet anyways, because my dress will be white for the wedding that will be held." I understood why she is not wearing her usual green, and diffidently why she's not wearing white. But, she did also say that she would wear purple for a reason for a party of some sort she told me once. I decided to tell them what color I was wearing to the dance. "I'm going to wear a green dress. Not a dark one, but light. If I find the right one that is." The other three girls giggled and started talking about work. Claire was sympathetic about the last mission. Not that anyone wanted to talk about. Always rookies. Never one of the older ones. Is something I say. Of course, only certain people know this, but not everyone. We all flinched at the idea of our next mission. Why, I do everyone's paperwork after every mission, is because of each death, the team faces. Jill, Rebecca and I are hoping our next mission will have less time of filling in nine of our teammates. Which is still happening at this point, because of last month. We went to twenty more shops when we came upon a shop, that had all our dresses. I forget the name now, because I was just dragged into it but, we found our dresses. All of them are very pretty. Claire, Jill and Rebecca found theirs right away, me, well it took me a little bit to find mine. See, I like long dresses. But, since these three nut cases decided to get all of us short dresses. I was basically screwed. So as I was looking, Jill, Claire and Rebecca, came over to help. That was when I found I beautiful dress, that I thought looked nice. As, it was lifted into the air, I showed it to them and they pushed me into the dressing room, to try it on. And made me show them it. They squealed. Loudly. People were staring. Well, I might be dramatizing it, but still. Did they have too. So we paid for our dresses and couldn't wait for the dance, on the week after tomorrow. Which would be Saturday. As for me. I was jumping up and down on the inside. And giggling more or less.

Piers P.O.V

Holy crap! I didn't expect for three people to just grab me from the lobby and drag me out! It was uncalled for, and unnecessary, and it frigging surprised me! Oh well. Now the three people who dragged me away from the B.S.A.A's lobby, was Chris, Billy and Leon. And I had to guess that, Claire, Rebecca and Jill went with poor Ashley. Also I was so posed to meet Ashley here, but she text messaged me saying that she couldn't make it, with something that said, "I have red, blue and green! Repeat, red, blue and green!" Messaged on it. Only if I guessed then it was Claire, Jill and Rebecca, I would attempt to save her. Poor, poor Ashley... I feel sorry for her. She must have it easier than me. I messaged her back, I know what you mean, Ashley, Claire Jill and Rebecca, are your kidnappers. Help, I got the big green brother, the blue boyfriend, and the finance. I hope she understood, what I meant. I was rushing when I was typing this. And the grins on their faces, I will never forget. They were worse than the last terrorist attack last month. At least then I knew what I was getting into. This time. I had no clue. And this scared me half to death. Well, not really. Part of the mission I was freaking out Ashley's condition. Where she fell into the hospital, with an arm, that was shot, and a was in a coma for the rest of the three-week battle. And after a month of doing paperwork, she could finally hold a weapon, and go back on the field. No, so that wasn't as bad as that. But you know, surprised but scared, I guess. Anyways, I was scared. I even told her, that day in the field, that she would be the death of me. And she will be. If she keeps getting injured the way she does now, at least. They started dragging m to shops. Chris apologized to me about not telling me that I didn't have work. Sneaky devils. Oh well. I will see Ashley tomorrow at work hopefully. Wait, no we don't have work tomorrow , so I will see her on Monday. Our weekend is this week. Perfect. We can ask how our shopping was. I hate shopping. Ashley asked me once. But, she needed help and I was the only person off, at that point. Well, who wasn't sleeping at least, so I did it. And no one was home at the time, because they were working. Anyways, walking from each store I realized something. They were talking about the last mission. Well, pieces of the battle anyways. "And poor Ashley, the guy knew her, from someone I swear. Kid was tough on the field, but when we got home she went to her room and cried. Saying how "he did it to me," Jill, Claire and I had to comfort her as she spoke. To be honest, I could have cried myself." They just stayed silent after that. And went into another shop, and picked out nice suits, and a nice shirt. I texted Ashley, because I needed to get away from these people, and I wanted to know if she was home or not. So, I texted her saying, Are you home, because I need to get away from these people, the driving me nutty! If not want to meet somewhere's like the park by my house so no one can find us. Well, except the captain. But, you know, no one who decides to read any Books on your favorite series, Percy Jackson. And go all "Aphrodite Cabin" on us? Anyways, please message me back asap. Cause I wanna go home and watch a movie that involves Disney with you, or some cheesy movie like that. Or we can just go to the park... Up to you if you wanna have some fun with me when you don't get very much of it. Piers sent the message to her and was horrified by what it said. Stupid auto correct. Just messes up a perfectly good sentence. Piers corrected it not before Ashley replied back. Piers was blushing from what she said.

Ashley's P.O.V

When my phone started ringing, I knew who it was, Piers. So I read the message he sent me and I practically died at the end. I messaged him back and imagined the look on his face, when he reads, what he is about to read, coming from me. I replied back saying, No, I'm not home yet. But, they will drive you insane, I know that from experience, that they would do that. LOL, you read, them too, and don't say that you didn't like them. You loved them. Haha. You would really watch a cheesy movie that was made by Disney, without me begging you?! Cool! You wanna go home do you, for that reason? LOL. So you wanna have fun? Mine or yours? XOXOXOXO LOVE YOU! I love him so much, he his so going to call me later on and be like, I am so glad that no one can see my phone speech. And I am so going to blame auto correct, well, not for my message, but his. He is going to kill me. I then messaged him again saying, I'm just kidding. You know. Your house, to watch a movie. I'll message Chris and tell him I'm going to watch a Disney movie with you. Poor Piers, I'm going to give him a heart attack one of these days. Almost did once last month. Almost gave everyone a heart attack, even the rookies, who didn't even know my back story. My life will get more interesting.

So, love it, hate it. Spelled something wrong or something didn't make any sense, leave it in a review. Thanks!

Oh and also, you will see what movie they watch, *lol* just small details, it will be skipped mostly. Oh and suggest a movie also. Anyone would be great. Also, you will know more of what happened, and a list of people, who will be appearing and becoming main characters will be posted. Sometime soon! Oh, and the girls' dresses will be on my profile on Tuesday when I get home. I am at my sisters for a few days.

Alright, Bye!
