"Why are you not in there with the others?" Spencer asks me as I walk into 'our' room.

"I needed a break." I reply as I take a seat next to her. "Where'd you get these?" I ask, reaching for her bag of skittles. She looks at my hand and slaps it away. "Owie." I say, pulling my hand back.

"Next time, you lose it." She tells me seriously.

I know she's not joking.

We all know how Spencer feels about skittles.

"You didn't answer my question."

"From the stash we got back in Garden City." She replies, popping another skittle in her mouth.

"You know, I could really use a kiss right now." I turn to her with a smile and say. She waves her bag of skittles in my face and turns in the other direction. I guess that's a no.

"I was waiting until the right moment, Kyla. I didn't want to ask you out before-" We hear from the hallway, Spencer and I both crawl over to the window to stare at the arguing 'not couple.'

"Before what? Asking my sister first? I am so sick of everything always revolving around Ashley!" Kyla shouts and turns to walk away. Spencer snickers beside me. I bump shoulders with her and she almost chokes on a skittle.

"It was the proper thing to do, you're all the family she has Ky."

"You think she came and asked me before she started dating Spencer?" Kyla questions, Angel opens her mouth to speak but Kyla cuts her off. "Rhetorical question. She didn't! And this isn't the 1800s Angel, you don't have to ask my parent's if we can go steady."

"I think that was the sixt-"

"This is so stupid! I'm going out with Eric now so it doesn't even matter." Kyla shrugs and folds her arms.

"Where exactly are they planning on going anyways?" Spencer turns to me and asks. "It is a zombie apocalypse after all. Not like they can go to the movies." I snicker.

"This isn't fair Ky and you know it." Angel replies.

"Doesn't matter, you missed your chance and now it's too late."

"You don't even know this guy, not really." Angel says, moving closer to my sister.

I can agree with that.

"So!" Kyla shrugs. "He's nice and funny and cute and he's not afraid to go after what he wants." Kyla adds matter of factly.

"That's not the truth and you know it." Angel says a bit forceful, still moving closer. I hope this doesn't get out of hand and I have to step in.

"It is!" Kyla shouts, throwing her hands in the air, letting out an exasperated sigh. "We've been sharing the same tent for days now and not once have you even tried to fucking kiss me." Kyla says, whispering the last part.

"I told you I was waiting to-"

"Ask my sister, I got it." Kyla says, rolling her eyes. "All I wanted was for you to kiss me, just fucking kiss me, is that so hard to-"

Yup...

Kyla just got shut up the best way to shut someone up.

By kissing them, in case you were wondering.

That is my cue to turn away. I'd rather not see my sister make out with her... what the hell are they exactly?

"They are so cute." Spencer says as we turn away, putting our backs up against the wall.

"Too much drama if you ask me." I shrug and say. Spencer gives me a look that causes me to smile. "We do not have that kind of drama." I tell her. She raises a brow at me. "I would never deprive you of my lips and I'd like to hope that you feel the same." This time I'm the one with a raised brow. She smiles and pops another skittle in her mouth. That did not answer my question!

"Did you get Dr. Johnson to calm down?" She questions, eating another skittle.

"Yeah." I nod. "Well sorta." She gives me a confused look. "Eric um... he kinda stopped him from killing her so that I could talk to him."

"Wow."

"Yeah, he's a regular old savior that Eric." I say with narrowed eyes.

"At least he's contributing." Spencer says, totally unaware of the implications behind my words.

"Yeah." Is my reply.

"So how long before my amazing blood saves everyone?" She turns to me and asks.

"You know that my blood will actually be the blood doing the saving right?" I question with a smile.

"Sure, Sure." She nods. "When?" She asks again.

I shrug, "With Dr. Johnson helping now... a couple of days maybe."

"That's good. I'd love to get the heck out of this building." She says, standing up and stretching.

"You wanna go for a walk?" I ask, doing the same.

"That's a good idea." She smiles, putting her skittles in her bag.

"Okay, let me just go tell them I'll be-"

"I'm gonna go with Glen and Aiden." She interrupts me. "You get back to work Einstein." She smiles and kisses my cheek before opening the door. "Don't mind me ladies." She says, stepping around Kyla and Angel who are still kissing in the middle of the damn hallway.

"You know he was a physicist right?" I shout to her retreating figure.

"That's science too right?" She turns and asks.

"Yeah." I nod "But it's not-"

"Close enough." She shrugs and walks away. I shake my head as she disappears down the hall.

"You two should get a room." I tell my sister and Angel. They don't even flinch.

Okaaaaay.

Shrug.

Back to work saving the world I guess...

–

"Ashley you're taking more breaks than working." Angel says as she follows me out the lab.

"You're one to talk." I turn to her with a smile and say.

"Oh um..." She clears her throat and looks down.

"No, no. I'm happy for you two." I assure her with a smile and nod.

"No." She shakes her head. "Kyla said that we aren't together."

"What?" I question.

"Yeah. She said I need to prove that I won't be a pussy anymore when it comes to my feelings for her."

"What does that even mean?" I ask with a raised brow.

"Your guess is as good as mine." She shrugs and smiles. "But I'm not complaining. Kyla is a fascinating creature." She says as a huge grin spreads across her face.

"You got the creature part right." I chuckle out.

She stifles a laugh. "Where are you headed anyways?"

"To see what Spencer is up to."

"Of course." She nods and smiles. "I'll come get you if anything changes." She adds."

"I'm sure Dr. Johnson and Eric can handle it. I don't think they need us anymore." I say and laugh.

"You know, I was thinking the exact same thing." Angel says, joining me in laughter. We both sigh out of our laughter and I tell her I'll see her later as I go off in search of Spencer.

"Are you following me?" Spencer asks as I run into them on the third floor.

"No." I shake my head. "Not at all." I add with a smile.

"Sure seems that way." Spencer narrows her eyes at me.

"How could I possibly be following you when it's been over two hours since I last saw you?" I question with a raised brow.

"Maybe," she whispers, stepping closer to me. "you're just that damn good."

"Hi Ashley." Glen says as he rolls his eyes.

"Bye Ashley." Aiden chimes in, pulling his boyfriend away from us. My eyes haven't left Spencer's, I witnessed that whole scene with Glen and Aiden in my peripheral vision.

"Would it be a bad thing if I had been following you?" I question her, my voice barely above a whisper.

"I never said it would." She replies, matching my tone and volume.

"I'm so gonna kiss you now." I tell her moving closer.

"I'm so not gonna stop you." She mimics me again, causing both of us to smile. Right as our lips touched I hear my name being called. I turn around and see it's Eric.

I'm seriously starting to hate him.

"We need you in the lab." He tells him, as he hunches over to catch his breath.

How in the hell did he find me so quickly?

"Can't be handled by the three of you?" I question him, clearly annoyed that my Spencer time was interrupting. I'm trying to win my girl back here people!

"Nope." He shakes his head.

"Fine." I groan out, turning back to Spencer. "Finish this later?" I question.

"Maybe." She shrugs nonchalantly and walks away.

"Wh—no!" I shake my head. "No maybe." I call after her.

"I said maybe, Ashley. Don't push it." She turns back to me and says with a smile.

"Yeah don't push it, Ashley!" Aiden shouts down the hall.

"There's no time for making out anyways, you've got a world to save remember." Aiden chimes in.

"Yeah, thanks for reminding me asshole."

"Kids!" Paula chides us as she appears from the stairwell. Now where in the hell did she come from?

"Sorry." We all say in unison. But really I'm the only one that got caught.

"Lunch is ready." She informs us with a smile before heading back up the stairs.

"You got caught." Aiden laughs and points at me.

"Can it!" I punch him in the arm once I reach him. We all head into the stairwell.

"Ashley stop hitting my boyfriend before I go ape sh-"

"Glen!" Mrs. Carlin says from somewhere above us.

"Sorry mom." He ducks his head and says. We all chuckle at him.

"What's the big emergency?" I turn to Eric and ask. What was so important that he couldn't wait five freaking minutes while I made out with my ex-girlfriend?

"It's Dr. Johnson," He pauses and smiles. Way to increase the drama there Eric. "He thinks he's figure it all out."
