T3ii3's and mine Make-Up chapter to you all... Sorry!!! ^^''' - Scitah

Time flew by quite quickly, Johnny and Sally having furnished their apartment, with the help of Vance and Eva, and before they knew it, it was practically home!

A day before winter break was over, Sally and Johnny found themselves in front of the Tenements.

"What the hell happened? It's all wrecked again…" Sally muttered.

Johnny looked at her, "You left." he replied and touched the door a little hesitantly.

"Maybe we should knock?" she asked, almost wishing to head back to the apartment and go to sleep, rather than apologize.

Johnny knocked but no one answered, "I don't like this" he said.

Sally nodded and glanced behind them, "Let's just go in and take a look around, make sure the guys are still alive."

"I hope…" he sighed and took her hand, entering, "Hello?"

There was a crash and Peanut looked out from the former 'living room' and his eyes widened, "JOHNNY!" he cried and ran at him full-speed and tackled him into a hug. It was so forceful Johnny collapsed back, Peanut latched around his waist.

Sally blinked at the scene with a small, uncertain smile, remaining quiet before stepping into the Tenements to glance around.

She couldn't believe how crappy it had turned without her.

"Sally?" Hal blinked looking up from where he was with the others, playing poker at a tiny table.

Norton's eyes widened, "What're you doin' back?"

She bit her lower lip, "I'm uh… Here with Johnny… I could leave, if you'd like?"

"No." Hal stood quickly, "No.."

No one else spoke but they heard Peanut bawling a story out to Johnny about something that was 'his fault' and Johnny trying to interrupt to calm him but failing miserably.

Sally nodded and clasped her hands together. She knew what she had to do and that what she had done was unfair to the guys, but she became extremely nervous, "I uh… Hate what you've done with the place…" she laughed dryly.

Norton smirked, "So do we.."

"It's a DUMP!" Ricky snorted.

She chuckled, nodding again, "Listen, guys… I'm uh…" she glanced down at the ground, but then decided not to because she didn't know what the stain was and took a big step away from it, "I'm really sorry about bailing like that… I just…" she shook her head with a sigh.

"Was frustrated with the King?" Lucky laughed dryly, "Happens when you're a Greaser."

"Don't sweat it. Peanut took it bad though.." Norton mumbled as Johnny and Peanut came in.

The younger boy was still bawling and Johnny had no idea how to handle that.

Sally turned to Peanut and cleared her throat to gain Peanut's attention, "Larry. You're starting to sound like a girl…" she tried to joke, but it came out a little more serious than she had intended.

"S-s- sorryyyy" he sobbed into his fists ad Johnny rolled his eyes, an arm around Peanut's shoulders,

"It's m- my faaauulltt!"

Sally huffed before grabbing one of Peanut's wrists and pulling him into a hug, "I forgive you. It is not your fault. And, I'm sorry too, Peanut."

Peanut buried his face in her chest and kept at it.

Johnny looked at the others, "He been like this long?"

"A week... or less?" Lefty shrugged, "Dunno."

Sally rubbed his back, "If you don't stop, Peanut, I will enact the tough love… There is no reason you should be crying. Johnny and I are back together now. You should be happy, not remorseful."

Peanut sniffled a few times and nodded, "O- okay, Sally." he said letting go of her.

She grinned, "There's a good boy." she said, grabbing his face and rubbing her thumbs under his eyes to clear away the tears. "All better?"

He nodded and blushed a bit, "You'll be a good mom." he told her.

She chuckled, "I would hope so. Johnny get a chance to tell you that he and I are back on for the wedding?"

Peanut's eyes widened, "No!" he grinned and looked back at Johnny, "Yeah?!"

Johnny nodded, "Yeah."

"Just what we need," Norton said dryly, "Little Johnny's."

Sally's head snapped towards Norton, "Hey! They'd be my kids, too!" then she laughed, "Think of Johnny and myself packed into a few little tikes who constantly ask questions and have a 'mine' complex…"

Norton did think a moment then shuddered, "I best marry a sensible woman to have sensible kids to counter-act that, huh?"

Sally laughed, "No child is sensible, Norton, my friend." she inhaled, "You have a child, they will whine, piss, shit, eat, make messes, crave all attention, ask you questions all the time… They'll be like dating a needy woman, only you can't dump them!"

Norton laughed, "I got four little brothers and sisters, I know kids." he told her, "I can handle it."

"Y'think so?" Sally laughed, "It's sooo much more different when they're your own… I should know having treated you all as if you were my own children." she smirked. Then she looked to Johnny, "How long are we staying for, hun?"

Johnny shrugged, he'd been dealt into the hand of cards, "However long you wanna." he answered.

Norton smirked, "I know you're right!"

Sally smiled, "Alright…" she glanced around and sighed, "I'll get to work, then." and began towards the kitchen.

Hal rushed after her, "I'll help!" he grinned.

Sally smiled at Hal, hugging him to her, "I swear, I'd have had to do all the work myself if you weren't here!" she laughed.

Hal hugged her back, "It wasn't the same without ya!"

"I can tell!" and she laughed some more, before they began chatting while cleaning up the kitchen, which was disgusting, by the way.

A good hour and a half later, they had finished and walked out to the living room.

To her delight, but Hal's horror, Norton was nearly naked in nothing but boxers and socks, Peanut wore only his t-shirt and boxers, while Johnny and Ricky were both nearly naked in only their underwear.

Hal groaned, "Strip poker's for drunk girls, guys!"

Lefty looked at him, "Not when you're dirt poor."

Sally sighed and placed her head in her hand. "Then play for chips, or lint pieces, not clothes! Good God! I don't know how many times I can handle all of you half naked or fully naked any more."

Johnny smiled, "You can't handle me naked ever." he grinned and the others immediately moved their chairs away from him making screeching noises over the wood.

Sally stared blankly, "Okay. Let me know when you're all done being strange…" she then turned and began picking up the living area.

Johnny smiled at her "At least I'll be naked first!" he exclaimed.

Sally snorted, "You guys aren't playing for keeps, are you?"

"Maybe" Norton said, "Johnny's jacket is really nice…" he smirked.

"We aren't!" Johnny barked.

Peanut rolled his eyes.

Sally sighed, "What a lovely reunion… The half twits playing strip poker and Hal and I cleaning. Very nice." she said sarcastically.

Johnny pulled her down into his lap and kissed her, "Don't complain you like how I look."

She smiled lightly at him, "You're so conceited your shit even thinks it hot stuff…"

"It is!" he grinned and kissed her, "And you're sexy too Sally, I'm not just talking about me. Our kids'll be arrested for pure sexiness."

She laughed, "Wow. And I thought my mother was insane! Now let me go, this place is still wrecked."

He let her go knowing it was pointless to argue.

Sally and Hal cleaned like no tomorrow, scrubbing, vacuuming, sweeping, bagging, taking the over flowing trash out… All that jazz. And, another hour later, the first floor, except for the bathroom, was as clean as it was when she had lived there!

By that point Johnny was naked and irritated. He was refusing to take off his boxers, and Norton was accusing him of cheating.

Sally frowned at the child like antics of the males at the table and went into the kitchen and searched through the cabinets. There was a bag of chocolate drops, old and not edible at all… So she took those out to the guys and cleared her throat to shut them up.

The boys all looked up- it seemed Ricky was about to hold Johnny still while they stole his underwear. She'd just saved him from exposure.

"Yes?" Peanut asked, looking up at her.

"Put your clothes back on, now. I have a solution. These are stale, old, and will make you very sick if you eat them, so don't eat them. Remember that. Don't eat these." she stated, pushing the clothes over and dumping out the bag, "Distribute these evenly, any extras go in the trash. Got it?"

"Yes ma'am!" Peanut grinned, saluting her.

She smiled, "Alright. I'm done cleaning and am getting tired…" She looked at Johnny, "I'm gonna head home and pass out, alright?"

Johnny began to pull his clothes on, "I'm coming to!" he said.

"You don't have to, Johnny. You can stay and hang with the guys…" she offered, grabbing her jacket.

"I like you more!" he exclaimed tugging on his boots.

She laughed, "Well, thank you. Makes me feel all fuzzy inside." she joked.

He smiled and waved good-bye to the others and grabbed her hand and eagerly followed after her.

She waved good bye to the others, "Think we should stop by Eva's before we head home, it's a little out of the way, but good exorcise."

"Okay" he smiled at her and kissed her, "Sure, I don't care."

Sally smiled happily and lead the way, pointing at buildings and talking about nothing important until they got to Eva's door and she knocked gingerly.

Eva opened the door with a smile, "Sally! Johnny! How are?" he shouted, pulling the couple in and hugging them.

Johnny looked around, "Soooo where's Vance?" he asked.

"In the shower." Eva said, "Would you care to join him and say hello?" he joked lightly.

"You can do that for me." Johnny said and plopped onto the couch.

Sally chuckled, "Oh, stop, you two. Any ways. We were just at the Tenements-"

The bathroom door opened and a towel 'wearing' Vance walked out.

Vance blushed and rushed back into the bathroom and slammed the door shut, "EVA!" he cried, "I said to TELL me when people dropped in!"

Johnny burst out laughing and bent over his knees, clutching his sides in amusement.

Eva and Sally shared a chuckle, "He's still a little wet behind the ears, huh, Eva?"

Eva nodded, "Takes a bit of coaxing, you know."

Johnny looked up, "Awww, Vancey! We seen ya naked 'fore when we played poker! Come on out!"

"NO!" shouted the red-head stubbornly from behind the door.

Sally laughed lightly, "Awww… Don't be sore, Just head to the room and get dressed, Vance. We're all remotely adult like here."

Eva smiled, "Want me to get you some clothes, babe?"

"Yes" Vance mumbled a little irritably.

"Eva drag him out of the closet!"

Sally frowned at Johnny, "Shoosh, Johnny."

Eva waved dismissively, "I don't listen to Johnny, so don't worry 'bout it." he then went to his room and came back out with some clothes… "I've been waiting for a moment like this."

Sally looked closer at the clothes and found black leather pants with a deep, deep red button up shirt that was missing it's top few buttons. "Oh, good Jesus!" Sally groaned, sitting next to Johnny.

Eva knocked on the bathroom door and waited for Vance to open it.

Vance opened the door, he looked curiously at Eva and stuck his hand out for the clothes.

Johnny grinned.

Sally cleared her throat as Eva gave Vance those clothes. "Here you go." he said.

Vance shrieked when he saw what he was handed, "EVAAAA!!" he whined loudly, "Noooo not those!"

Johnny fell over laughing again,

Sally snickered.

Eva chuckled and shook his head, "Streak to the room, or wear those clothes."

"Please Eva…" he begged, "Get me my normal clothes?"

"Beggin' don't work 'less we're in bed, sweet heart." Eva said.

Vance whimpered, "I'll wear it another time- pleaaase go get my normal clothes?"

"Oh, come on Vance!" Sally cried, "Grow some balls."

"SALLY!" he hissed, "What if Johnny made you dress up like a dominatrix?! How would you feel!?"

At this Johnny looked thoughtful.

Sally laughed, "You don't know me very well, Vance."

Vance pouted and took the clothes and shut the door.

Johnny was laughing so hard he could barely breathe.

Eva and Sally sat, talking about the disgusting things at the Tenements that Sally found moments ago.

Johnny looked over, "It wasn't my pigsty this time!" he said proudly.

"That's for sure." Sally smirked.

Eva chuckled, "So, when can Vance and I see your place?"

Johnny shrugged, "When you wanna?"

Vance came out in the leather pants and the deep red shirt. He blushed because he knew Eva would either say way too much or nothing at all.

Sally looked over, "Lookin smooth, cool cat." she lightly joked, "I think red is your color."

Eva nodded, "I'm buying you more red things."

Vance blushed, "kay thanks." he mumbled and sat down next to Eva.

Johnny smiled at him, "Awwww." he nudged Vance who hit into Eva, "Lookit youuu!"

Vance glared at him dangerously.

Sally chuckled, "Don't mind Johnny's teasing, Vance. I think you look good."

Eva nodded, "Yeah… So good I could just eat you up!"

Vance blushed "You would." he mumbled.

Sally chuckled, shaking her head, "I would think that that is our cue to go… Wouldn't you, Johnny?"

Eva chuckled himself, "I can control myself for a while.

Johnny nodded, "Yeah it's awkward when people hear ya' fuckin; an' I bet Vance is looouudd!"

"I am not!" he huffed.

Sally chuckled, "It takes a bit of self control to not be so damned loud. I should know!"

Johnny nodded, "You and Vance should talk about techniques to being quiet!" he said.

Vance grabbed and pillow and smashed it on his head repeatedly, "Shut up! Shut up!" he cried.

Eva and Sally laughed loudly, "Almost as interesting as Peanut bawlin' all over you, Johnny." Sally teased lightly.

Johnny shrugged, "He does that…" he sighed.

Vance looked over at Johnny, and stopped hitting him, "You were nice to Larry weren't you?"

"I'm always nice t'the virgin!" Johnny grinned and Vance hit him again- harder.

"Why would Johnny be mean to a sobbing slobbering Larry?" Sally asked curiously.

"Johnny hit him once before and told him t'man up!" Vance said like a tattling child.

"Yeah, well… I think living with me non stop has kind of changed that." Sally chuckled lightly.

She and Eva shared a glance, then laughed a bit.

Johnny blinked, "Wha's that mean?"

"Living with an actual girl has sort of softened that 'Men need to be butch' vibe that most men have." Eva explained easily.

Johnny blinked, "I don' think he should be bawlin' in public like that." he sad.

"Technically, he wasn't in public." Sally stated, "And you didn't punch him. You kinda got all confused and lost and didn't know what the hell to do. I was the one who told him to calm down!" she smirked triumphantly at Johnny.

Johnny shrugged, "I let him cry an' he feels better."

"Once Larry slept in Johnny's bed!" Vance said, "He was cryin' so bad"

Johnny rolled his eyes.

Eva smirked, "If I started bawlin' like a little girl in a nightmare, would I get to sleep in your bed, Johnny?"

Sally gaped lightly, due to how funny she found the question, then looked at Johnny expectantly.

"No." Johnny said, "You have Vance t'cuddle with." he said.

"What if he didn't?" Sally asked.

"....I'll let ya have my spot an' ya can share with Sally. I'll nap on the couch." he said.

"And if I weren't there, and you and Eva were locked in the bedroom with only a bed and the floor was covered in water so that the only place to be was on the bed… Then would you?" Sally continued.

"I'd wade in the water." he answered.

"Even if it was infested with sharks and piranhas?"

Eva snorted at Sally's not letting this go.

Johnny looked at her and then to Vance, "They want you out of the picture."

Vance glared at Johnny and smacked him so hard they heard the 'fwump' noise it made when they hit each other.

Sally nearly smacked her forehead at Johnny, "Technically, I'd be out of the picture too, you idiot."

"Would not!" Johnny said, "You'd be there!"

Sally looked dumbfounded at Eva, "He doesn't listen very well, does he?"

Eva shrugged, "He's your fiancé, Hooka Queen."

Johnny shrugged, "Its a dumb question so I gave a dumb answer…"

"It's a theoretical question testing on where you'd break…" Sally told him.

"I would never break!" he said.

Eva and Sally nodded slowly, both humming out, "Riiiiight…"

"Well.." he said thoughtfully, "Maybe if Eva was bawling over Vance not there... an' if Sally weren't there I might be too.. then maybe but otherwise probably not."

Sally nodded quickly, "Thank you! Not so hard to answer, was it?"

Eva smirked and shook his head.

Johnny shrugged, "I guess not."

Vance sighed and looked at Eva, "I'm sick of listening to Johnny be stupid!"

"Fine. We'll leave if it suits you, Princes Vanceena!" Sally teased, standing.

"Naw!" Vance said, "I jus' wanna quit hearin' him talk. You can talk."

She waved at him that it wasn't a serious issue, "It's alright, I was just teasing you, hun. I'm tired, cleaned all evening and all I really want to do is go home and crash. So we have to go any ways."

Eva stood as well and hugged Sally, "You come back soon, alright?"

"Alright, Eva." she smiled.

Vance stuck his tongue out at Johnny who was offended and grabbed Vance's tongue. Vance started to make a whining noise and Johnny started to pull on his tongue making Vance whine louder.

"Alright! Alright! Break it up, you two!" Sally said.

"Where'd you learn Sally's Tongue Grab!?" Eva asked incredulously.

Johnny looked up, not letting go of Vance, "She's got a tongue grab?" he asked, eyes wide.

"Yeah, I grabbed Vance's tongue for challenging me. The guys and I told you about that… You just don't remember. You were moody, I think." Sally said, "Now let him go so we can leave."

"I don't remember…" he shrugged but twisted and Vance was pounding on him with his fists.

Sally walked over and, "Maybe it was his ear, then?" and she grabbed Johnny's ear roughly, "I said let go, Johnny."

"OW!" Johnny gasped and let go of Vance who whimpered and put his tongue back in his mouth.

"Ow le'go!" he cried.

"What?" Sally asked, taking a small step back, "I can't hear you…" she teased, "Do you like this? Do unto others as you would them do unto you, Johnny." she laughed, being a total hypocrite. "Haven't really hurt you in a while… You must be in need of a beat down." she joked.

"Legggoooo!" he whined, bending a bit at her grasp.

"You better start listening, hun. Now say good bye and let's go, alright? If you had wanted to rough house, you shoulda stayed with the guys at the Tenements."

"Okay okay jus' leggo!" he exclaimed.

She let go and looked expectantly at Johnny, crossing her arms.

Johnny looked at them, "Bye" he said but clasped his hands over his ears so she couldn't grab them again

Sally chuckled and went over to Vance, "Do I get a hug good bye?"

Eva waved with a smirk to Johnny, "Later."

"See ya." Johnny said to him.

Vance hugged her enthusiastically, "Thanks Sally!" he whispered to her.

"You're very welcome, my dear. I have not forgotten that deal…" She said, then moved towards the door, "We'll stop by some other time. C'mon Johnny." and she opened the door and lead Johnny out.

Eva looked at Vance with an amused look before locking the door behind the couple.

Johnny huffed and trudged out, "Yeah, let's go" he said and grabbed her hand and kissed her.

Sally smiled, and as they got to the side walk, she leaned on Johnny, head on his shoulder, "What a day, huh?"

"Yeah" he sighed and wrapped one arm around her waist.

"Mm… Can't wait to get to bed… I'm exhausted from all that cleaning. Can you believe how messed up that place had become?" she glanced up at him.

"I wanna say yes but no, not really." he laughed.

She shook her head, "I can't believe how shitty that place got without us…"

"...I kinda can" he said, "They're so sloppy."

"It wasn't that bad last time I left. I mean, it was relatively clean those weeks we split earlier in the year…"

"Let's not talk about it." he said.

"Why not? I think it's a serious issue, Johnny. If they don't pick up some hygienic and cleaning habits, they'll never get married and if they do, their wives will lose their minds and try to kill them with rolling pins and hot grits!" she said, being absolutely serious.

Johnny blinked, "That is a lecture they 'ought hear from you, not me."

"You're not worried about the guys' futures?" she asked.

"They don' take me seriously." he said.

"Why do you think that is?" she asked with a slight scoff.

"...I dunno" he answered.

"It's because you don't present yourself seriously. You are more like a younger brother figure most of the time! You hold no real authority to them unless they actually WANT you to be the authority. You have to be the adult in the situation while maintaining a friendly relationship…" she explained…

Johnny blinked, "I'm they're friend not their daddy." he scoffed at her.

"And you wonder why they don't respect you and treat you like your title suggests!" she rolled her eyes. They were a block away from their apartment now. She then waved, "Forget I said anything." she said wryly.

Johnny blinked, "Are you mad at me?"

She took a breath, "Just fed up with your lack of want for responsibility with your Clique." she half lied.

As a matter of fact, this had been bothering her a little and increased when ever she was with all the guys… Or at least most of them.

Johnny blinked, "Why d'I need'a be responsible with 'em?" he asked.

"Aren't you supposed to be the Greaser King; Leader of the Greasers?" she asked frustrated.

"Well, yeah." he shrugged.

"With great power comes great responsibility, Johnny. Ever heard that? I'm sure it was in those cartoons you watched." She asked, stopping to look at him after pulling away.

"Yeah sure" he nodded, "Uhm.." he thought a moment, "Mama preached it at me when I was little too"

"Did you ever stop to think about it? Did you ever think; Oh, hey! I'm Greaser King. I have great responsibility because that is what is expected from me!?" she asked, arms waving out to her sides.

"No." he said, blinking, "Should I?"

Sally sighed, putting the heels of her palms over her forehead, "Johnny… What do you think?"

"What d'you mean?" he asked.

Her jaw clenched so she wouldn't lose her cool entirely and she took a few breaths, "Do you think… You, Johnny, the Greaser King, should take responsibility… For YOUR clique?" she strained.

He shrugged, "Yeah, I guess so. Can we have this argument in the apartment, not on the street?"

"Why? Does this embarrass you?" she squinted, then threw up her hands and walked quickly into the building.

"I think it's weird t'have a blow up on the street!" he told her, "AND it's weird that you're gettin' so huffy all random-like!"

"It doesn't matter, any more, Johnny. I don't care!" she growled, practically racing up the stairs.

When she reached the second floor, the landlord stepped out, "Hey! Don't you stomp on these stairs!"

Sally got right in his face, "Shut up. You get your money, now leave us alone. You have nothing real to complain about. If you weren't such a cheap bastard, you'd be able to afford improvements for this piece of shit building. So just mind your own fucking business! Got it?"

The man nodded quickly and rushed back into his apartment, leaving Sally to tromp up the stairs quickly again.

Johnny rushed after her, "What the FUCK is your problem?!" he shouted at her.

"Why does it matter? No one in Bullworth is willing to take responsibility for anything! Why the hell did I expect you t'be any different from all the other stupid little boys around here?" she turned on the stairs, pointing at him and hissing dangerously.

He grabbed her arm, "Look, I'm fuckin' sick of this cycle!" he shouted down at her, his voice getting deep, dangerous, he'd never yelled at her like this before.

She growled at him, yanking her arm away, "I don't care."

"I DO!" he screamed at her and grabbed her by the shoulders to look down into her eyes, "I DON'T WANNA ARGUE! I DON'T KNOW WHY WE ARE?!" he shouted furiously.

"How are we supposed to create a family when you don't know how to be responsible and command respect from the people that would be around our children?" she asked in a low tone.

"I'm SEVENTEEN!" he shouted, "I'm not thinkin' bout that shit yet! I jus' wanna graduate!"

"Do you plan to EVER think about anything other than getting laid and fuckin' around with the guys?" Sally tried not to scream back.

He groaned, "Sally, the fuck d'you want from me?" he asked, "I been TRYIN' then you get a new idea in your head an' we argue! I can't change just like that!"

She sighed and bowed her head, shaking it slightly… What did she want? Sally wasn't exactly sure herself… "I don't know Johnny… It's just… I watched my mother go through men like shoes… I don't want to be like that, I don't… I don't know what I'm doing, I can't think much further than tomorrow due to how crazy my life is. Then there's you and you've got a crazy life all your own too and I…" She looked up at him, eyes swelling with tears, "I feel so lost and like I'm drowning… I don't know what's wrong with me any more…"

Her head bowed again and she sniffed.

He pulled her into a hug and sighed, "Alright, look" he said, "You ain't gonna be like that 'cause I ain't never gonna let ya' go." he said firmly, "But ya can't keep snappin at me..."

"I know… I know. I'm sorry, Johnny…" she whispered into him. "I'm just so emotional now-a-days…"

"It's okay. he said and easily picked her up and took her to their couch in the apartment and sat down, holding her closely, "It's gonna be okay. Shit's hectic, we can work it all out."

She nodded, "Alright… I want ice cream… I'm gonna grab a bowl… How about we watch a movie before bed?"

Johnny nodded, "What ya wanna watch?" he asked.

"Anything. I'll go make us some ice cream." she smiled, rubbing at her nose lightly before walking off to the kitchen.

Johnny smiled and looked through their various DVDs, "Pirates of the Caribbean?" he called back to her.

She grinned, "Sure."

She put a good amount of ice cream in two large bowls and topped it off with whipped cream, chocolate syrup and some sprinkles she bought for decorating cakes.

"One two or three?" he asked looking at the separate DVDs.

She thought for a moment, "First one."

"Okay." he nodded and popped it in then sat back and waited for her to come back.

Walking out with the two bowls, she handed one to Johnny and sat down, practically curling up against him, "I love this movie."

"Me too!" he grinned and curled up with her and his ice cream. He did like it but not as much as he liked watching her watch it. She was so animated.

Sally nearly dropped her bowl several times throughout the movie, having sudden excitement.

Also, she would scowl darkly at Keira Knightly, having some great distaste for the actress and her character, Elizabeth Swann.

Johnny laughed, "You are much sexier than her, Sally, don't get that face." he laughed kissing her.

Sally grinned at Johnny, "Thank you, baby. I just can't stand her nor the character!"

"I know.. but focus on Jack!" he grinned, "Jack's Great!"

She chuckled, "Yes… I prefer him over Will, that's for sure… But you can be my heart stealing pirate any day!"

Johnny covered one eye with his hand, "Argh!" he grinned.

Sally nearly died of laughter, flopping across his lap awkwardly. "Oh. My. God. That was great!"

Johnny grinned down and her and bent over her and bit at her ear teasingly, grinning his head off. He liked these sorts of moments. He could do anything and she'd be pretty happy with him.

Sally rolled a little, now lying on her back and reached up, placing her hand lovingly on his cheek, "I love you, Johnny."

"I love you too." he grinned and kissed her.

As the credits rolled by on the tv, Sally sat up and yawned, "Alright… I'm gonna take a shower and meet you in bed, alright… Be sure to set the alarm…"

She stood and picked up the two bowls and brought them into the kitchen, then moved to the bathroom.

Johnny saluted her, "Okay." he said passing her and copping a feel before slipping into their bedroom.

Sally shook her head at Johnny with a smile, then went into the bathroom and started the shower, letting the hot water poor down.

She smiled at the hot feeling of the liquid. Shutting the door, she quickly stripped and in.

Johnny was setting the alarm but, well, he was clumsy and when he tried to just 'nudge' the 'on' button it fell off the stand and fell to the ground. His eyes widened, looking at the large crack on the bottom. That's not so bad, he hoped.

He set it back and laid down on the bed, even if it was broken they could afford a new one and Sally always woke up pretty early anyway- they wouldn't miss school.

Not that he cared but Sally always worried about attendance.

In twenty minutes, Sally stepped out of the shower wrapped in a towel, walking into their bedroom and dressed in shorts and a tee-shirt before climbing into bed and curling against Johnny. "Night."

Oh, boy…

"Night" he smiled at her and held her close not bothering to mention the clock.

And, in the morning, Sally yawned lightly and stretched a little. She glanced around, ready for a new day, clock was flashing 12:00, sun was out, life felt good…

Wait…

Flashing 12:00?
