[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Just say it one more time so I can process it."

Peter laughed at just the thought of it. "Don't remind me."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I. kissed. your. girlfriend."

"I'll try not to."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"But I already know that. Because I saw you. That's not new information."

"Thanks."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What I mean is, you can't blame her for it because she had no part in it."

Edward nodded and walked out of the alley, heading towards Ray's place.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He blinked. "What?"

"And what shall you do when you arrive at the apartment?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Ah-yup."

"Think things over."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"What?" he asked again, his voice hardening.

"I see."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((i gtg. pretty sure i'll be back tonight))

"How many more times do I have to say it?" he asked impatiently.

"I think it's a solid plan."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((see ya))

"Why the hell did you tell me otherwise?" he growled.

"Sounds like one."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What's done is done."

"What about you?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

James punched his shoulder. Hard. "Why the fuck would you do that?"

"I'll stay out of your way."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Tom grit his teeth, trying to keep the wheel steady. "So you'd come with me."

"And do what? Just hang around?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Why?"

"Sure, why not? I'll probably go up to the roof so I'm not intruding."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Because I was getting mad about my recent partners and then you suddenly showed up. I thought it was my lucky break, but then you introduced me to all your friends," he muttered, "I didn't think you'd come if I just asked you."

"Alright."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Another punch. "Of course I would have, you asshole."

"Are you going to talk to her?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Ow, hey, ease off. I'm not too happy about what I did, alright? I didn't particularly enjoy kissing your girlfriend."

"If she's awake."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Oh, sure."

He nodded. "Good."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What does that mean?"

He sighed and ascended the steps once they were inside.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He rolled his eyes. "Forget it, man."

"And stop worrying."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"No, really."

"I'm not worrying."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I said, forget it."

"Good."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Okay," he sighed, letting the conversation settle into an uncomfortable silence.

Edward walked over to the door and knocked, not sure who would answer the door.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

James shook head to himself repeatedly as he started out the window.

Mimi stirred in her pathetic excuse for a nap and looked around her. Nothing looked like it had fallen over. So what was that noise?

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"If you want to leave, you can leave," Tom said quietly after a while.

Edward knocked once more.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Yeah, and go where?" he asked more harshly than he intended.

Muttering a complaint that sounded more like a grunt, she got shakily to her feet and wandered over to the door. Because it had to be the door. But who would be calling at this hour?

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Back to your other friends," he said, trying not to sound hurt. He pressed his lips together tightly.

Edward waited patiently, leaning against the door frame with his hand.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"By what means?"

Still not understanding, and still half groggy with sleep, she knocked with one knuckle on the door, like it was a game.
"Knock again," Peter whispered almost inaudibly.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I don't know," he muttered.

Edward glanced at Peter adn then knocked once more.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"We have a damn job to do."

Blinking, she unlocked the door and stood in the six inch opening she made, just staring out at them. A moment later she left the door open and retreated back inside.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

His mouth opened and closed with no sound coming out, and then he sputtered out, "Really?"

Edward opened his mouth to say something, but the words died on his lips as she walked back inside. He slid in after her. "How are you feeling?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I don't leave things unfinished. But be lucky if I don't decide to shoot you in the leg before it's done."

She shrugged and sat on the couch, pulling her knees up to her chest.
Peter closed the door, locked it, and disappeared from view.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Thanks, man."

He sat down next to her. "Do you need anything?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Don't thank me."

She gave him another shrug, and still saying nothing, she got a pillow and tossed it on his lap before laying her head upon it.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

He just sighed and stopped near where they were previously. He got out of the car without a word.

He brushed her hair behind her ear. "Okay," he murmured.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That it?" he asked a few moments later, lounging back on the grass.

She summoned a glass of water, took a sip, made a face, and then made it disappear. Then she spoke up in a soft, almost shaky voice: "So what happened?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What do you mean?"

"We told them to run and never come back."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"End of discussion?"

"Tell me the whole story," she murmured tonelessly, "I haven't decided if that all happened or not." With an absent hand she found her makeshift bandage out of gauze and tape.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What more is there to say?"

"Everything that happened tonight? Or just after you left?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He shrugged.

"Everything."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Yeah, that's what I thought," he said simply and went to go clear up the targets.

He sighed quietly and started to retell the past events of that night. ((cause i'm too lazy to type it out))

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((no worries))

"You have absolutely no right to be pissed at me," he said, his tone even.

"Shit," she whispered when he was done, shivering a bit.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'm not pissed at you."

"I'm sorry," he said a few moments later, closing his eyes.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"So what would you call that?"

She blinked and sat up, head pounding in protest. "Why?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I am apathetic. And my shoulder still stings."

He opened his eyes and studied his hands, lying in the place where her head just was. "I try to protect you, and then I get overbearing...and then these things happen," he murmured, "I'm always at odds with myself and then you get caught in the middle of it."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You deserved it."

"I'm fine," she said, at a loss.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'll admit to that."

"Are you?" He looked at her.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Good. Don't make me have to do it again."

"I... think so?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'll try my best."

"You think so," he repeated.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((gtg))

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((awww, byeas!))

"Good," he said again.

She fell silent, just looking at him. "Please don't apologize again," she said in a half-whisper.
