A/N: Impromptu valentine's fic! Woo. Will resume regular updates tomorrow.

Characters: Mia/ Diego – also Maya, and I like to think she was a lot like Pearl when she was younger.

Disclaimer: The real AA gang wouldn't be this nice to us and give us a happy moment between these two.

Timeline: Let's say... Mia's first year at Grossberg's firm.

Go With Me

Valentine's Day.

It was Diego's favourite holiday.

The one day where people were happy and honest, either in being in love, looking for love, or proudly showing their aversion to love.

Diego found himself in the middle option most years, and was very happy there. Looking for love promised hope and excitement.

And this year, he knew exactly where he was going to look for it.

"Are you joining the rest of the firm for drinks tonight, Miss Fey?" Diego asked her as she sat writing with such force that her desk shook.

She looked up at him and smiled briefly. "Yeah, I'll probably turn up." She said before returning to her work.

"You don't sound too keen, Mia."

"Well, Diego, it's been a long day, I'm not so sure if I'll have the energy to be much fun." She replied.

Diego leaned closer. "I know what will make it fun." He almost whispered.

Mia suppressed a shiver and hid her blush well. "And what might that be?" She asked him coyly.

"Go with me."

Mia looked at him for a moment before smiling. He smiled a hopeful smile back at her.

"Why would I go with you, if I'm already going to see you there?" She asked him plainly, and resumed attention to the files in front of her.

Diego laughed quietly and admitted defeat- for now.

"If you do turn up, remember, its fancy dress." He said before walking back towards his office.

...

Hours later, Mia stood fretting in her bedroom, her little sister doing her best to help.

"I've got nothing to wear!" Mia cried, having not enough time after work to go and buy an outfit.

"Can't you just go without a costume?" Maya asked uncertainly.

Mia looked at her incredulously. "I can't not wear one! Especially after... he told me I had to!""

Maya brightened up at this. "Oh! It's him, isn't it? You're meeting him for drinks?"

"Well- no- the entire firm, but he did ask me to go with him." Mia responded, not prepared for her little sister's squeal of excitement.

"What did you say?!" She screamed happily.

"I asked why I'd go with him if I was already seeing him there." Mia said back in a defeated tone.

Maya glared at her older sister before suddenly having an idea. "I've got just the thing! Wait here!" She yelled to her bewildered sister before running off to Mia's storage closet.

After five minutes- which Mia used to enhance her makeup- Maya finally returned with one of her own red vests and an old cat ears headband she herself had worn on a Halloween years ago.

"What am I supposed to do with these?" Mia asked her.

"Put them on, silly!" Maya cried, excitement taking over.

"No offence sis, but your vest will hardly fit me."

Maya rolled her eyes. "Well duh- that's the point. You want to make him go crazy for you, right? Of course you do! It's Val-en-tine's Day." Maya said, emphasising every syllable.

"I guess." Mia responded; still unsure even as she put the vest on and tucked it into her skirt. She then slid the headband on over her fringe and fluffed her hair a bit with hairspray.

"You look great, sis! Now get going or you'll be late!" Maya grinned.

"You sure you're going to be alright by yourself?"

"GO!"

...

Diego was doing his best to concentrate on Grossberg's lecture about wearing the correct underwear and avoiding certain diets if he wanted to avoid a condition he'd rather not think about right now, when he noticed a tall brunette walk into the crowded bar. He watched as she scanned the place, looking for a familiar face before giving up, checking her watch, and heading to the bar.

He excused himself from his boss rather abruptly before making his way over to her, amused that man after man let her push through to the front of the queue.

He heard her order herself a red wine- a popular choice for tonight- before making his presence known by saying "Make that two."

Mia glanced sharply to her left, not fully knowing who it was until she heard him speak again.

"I wasn't sure you were going to make it, kitten."

Hope you guys likes it, and happy Valentine's Day!
