The following Monday at work Ace comes in to see a bag on her desk. Nyssa pokes her head in, "that's from Tegan. Told me not to open it and it was for your eyes only."

"Great, thank you." Ace just knows what it will entail. After she opens up the bag to find a DVD of the movie Sausage Party. Ace searches for a card.

'Ace, it looks like you like to eat meat now. I got this movie for you to watch so you could probably enjoy some sausage. It can be the meat stick I found that fell out of your purse or the meat stick you found in that volcano or should I say met in there. Or enjoy multiple at once. You deserve it.' Ace just stays staring at the letter for the next few years when Graham comes in.

"Ryan called and we talked for 5 minutes." He sits down across from here setting bags on the table. "Hi Ace," hearing his voice gets her out of her stupor.

"Good afternoon Graham." Ace tries to hide the letter and the movie.

"What's that you got there?" He leans over the desk. "Is that?"

"It is, Tegan likes to give me joke gifts sometimes."

"But why The Sausage Party?"

"I am not ready to say."

"You can tell me anything Ace." Meanwhile in his head, 'I hope Tegan doesn't know that Ace still likes a good beef stick.'

"I know that, you are a great guy. It's one of the reasons I.." Ace doesn't know if he is ready for her to say that she likes him.

"That you what?"

"I like you."

"I like you too." Graham doesn't know if Ace likes him more than a friend or just a friend. I did bring lunch, though this time I only brought enough for the two of us. That way if you want to steal my chips there will be no one to tease us."

"Thank you. Right now I feel like I can only be around you. I don't need any of the teasing I am getting from them."

"While I may get to the point of teasing you, I know there are certain things I will not tease you about. One of them includes us."

"I guess we get what we give, I always tease others. Though I don't tease when it comes to matters of the heart."

"You can tease me."

"Thank you, I am trying to come up with a fitting nickname for you."

"What kind of nickname?"

"Lets see I usually pick them based on the feeling someone gives me. Mel is Donut, the Doctor is Professor as you know. Tegan is Ms Tude and Nyssa is Mama Bear."

"You can call me anything that you want."

"I know, for some reason it is hard to come up with one for you."

"Are you sure, my CEO?"

Ace giggles a little at that, while inside her head, 'he is your honeybear. What is something along those lines.' She smiles at him and he smiles back. "Yogi, you like food and you always seem to have some with you."

"I can live with that."

"One of the few."

"I can live with anything you give me."

"Anything," Ace wiggles her eyebrows.

"Anything," he whispers, their heads starting to move closer and closer until Nyssa comes in.

"Tegan called me telling me that Kate is on her way over."

"Good," Ace stands up, "I am going to meet her in the conference room." She then turns to face Graham, "Yogi, I will see you later. Thank you for the laugh. I needed it."

"See you later Ace." Graham grabs both his and Ace's empty containers and tosses them in the bin.

"Graham," Nyssa asks after him.

"Yes."

"Is Ace ok?"

"It is not my place to answer, just put the breaks on the teasing for a bit." Graham opens the door as Kate is entering. "Afternoon Kate."

"Afternoon Graham, Nyssa. Do any of you know why Ace wanted to speak to me here?"

"No, but she did say she wanted to speak to you in a conference room."

"Don't forget she finally came up with a nickname for you, Graham. Right this way. I have a feeling Ace isn't happy with you Kate."

"What makes you say that?"

"There seems to be a lot on her mind."

"It's my turn to face the wrath of Ace." Kate meets Ace in one of the conference rooms, "you wanted to see me."

"You are driving a wedge between Graham and Ryan."

"How would you know that?"

"I will not explain how I know."

"Graham told you."

"After the last meeting, Ryan has been shortening their phone calls. I don't want to see my. I mean Graham upset."

"He means a lot to you."

"He does. Now if it won't cause any harm to him please let Ryan tell him what is going on."

"It will."

"Oh."

"There is a reason I didn't ask the two of you."

"Two of us?"

"Everyone wants the two of you together." With that Kate leaves.

The following Saturday Graham is over at Ace's helping her with dinner, "Ace."

"Yes."

"You're missing something, I just can't figure out what it is."

"Let me see." Ace hopes Graham has never seen Landgaejer. "Nothing is missing." She pulls out a new bag. "Where did this come from?"

"I don't know," he acts all innocent.

"Graham, do you know my secret?"

"I," his phone rings, "getting a phone call," he looks down and Ace watches as his face lights up. "It's Ryan."

"Take it." Ace smiles after him as he picks up the phone. 'Does he somehow know that I enjoy eating beef sticks. He doesn't seem to mind though.'

Graham comes back in, "he was just checking in. When he asked what I was doing; Ryan was quick to get off the phone telling me to spend as much time with you as humanly possible."

"So a movie then?"

"How about the one Tegan got you, I remember there was a big fuss about it. I just don't remember why?"

"Umm, ok, go make some popcorn."

"I will go grab a different snack," he winks at her. As Ace sets up the movie Graham grabs a bowl for crisps and gets into the fridge for what he bought Ace. Over the movie both try to hide their blushing at the suggestive nature of it. Ace looks down at the Landjaeger and wishes they weren't long and red. She looks over at Graham who looks very uncomfortable.

"Graham, do you want to turn off the movie?"

"Please," he croaks. Once the other movie is done, both still uncomfortable from the previous one, Graham leaves barely making out a goodbye to Ace.
