Charley's jaw dropped when Fen came out of the restaurant wearing faded denim jeans instead of the skirt he'd loved so much. Her tank flashed pink in the sunlight as she walked toward him waving at Lin as she climbed into her car with Fangy, Seth and Raj.

He took a moment to mourn the loss of the sight of her bare legs and settled back against the bike to admire the way the denim moulded to her skin.

"Not that I'm complaining pet, but why the costume change." he asked when she was in earshot.

"Wanted something I couldn't have in the skirt." she said with a wink before wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him.

"What's that love?" he asked.

"A little power between my legs." she smirked against his lips.

"I think I can handle that darlin'" he said pulling her fully in contact with his body. Her hand trailed down his back and she pulled away holding the bike keys aloft.

"Good. Then you won't mind if I drive."

Charley growled low in his throat and made a grab for her catching her around the waits and hauling her aloft. Fen laughed as he swung her around sliding her down his body before setting her on her feet before kissing her.

"You know, the things I could do.." his voice trailed off as she kissed him again.

"Promises, promises." she said kissing along his jaw line before nipping lightly at his earlobe.

"But you're still not getting the keys back." she turned and climbed onto the bike swinging one leg over the seat before looking bcak at the frustrated clone.

"Gonna stand there all day or are you getting on?" she asked.

"Do I have a choice?"

"You could always ride with one of the others." she said. Charley turned around to see the crowd in Lin's car watching them a smirk barely hidden on Fangy's face.

With another growl Charley slid onto the bike behind his girl and wrapped an arm around her waist. He leaned for ward and whispered in her ear.

"You're gonna regret this pet." She giggle.

"I hope so."

Deli held onto the scarf covering her hair, her eyes watering at the tearing wind coursingthrough the car. "Hey, Loth, baby get my sunglasses," she yelled.

He grinned nudging Trouble with his arm and they snickered. He picked up the cat eyed glasses and handed them back to Deli, turning to give Loki a smirk. "Check this out. When she puts these on, she'll look like she should be in Thelma and Louise."

Deli glared at Loth as Loki and Di stared at her interestedly. "Well, great. No I'm a circus freak who can't put on her damn sunglasses cause everyone's teasing me. And you people wonder why I want to hide in a closet?"

Di roller her eyes. "Overdramatic as usual, Deli. Just put on your glasses and ooooh what the HELL am I sitting on?"

Deli lifted a sculpted brow at Di. "Do I even want to know?"

Di lifted her rear and fished the vibrating cell phone from under her. "Nice. Leave on the seat where my arse could break it and then where would we be?" she accused.

Loth swivelled and faced Di. "Uh, pet, you had it last. Calling Lin and all?"

Di flushed bright red and thrust the still vibrating phone at Deli. "Just answer the damn thing."

Deli clicked on the phone, straing the hear the soft spoken voice. Sighing heavily, she stuck a finger in her ear, blocking out the excess noise. "Yes?"

"Hello, pet."

"Hi," she said, a fleeting grin curving her lips.

"Just thought I'd tell you. Check out the sign up ahead. Could be interesting."

"Mmmm for who?" she asked squinting to see that far ahead.

A laugh rumbled over the line. "Now that remains to be seen."

Deli blushed bright red. "Um, okay. I'll check it out," she said throatily.

The phone clicked and she craned her neck trying to see what was so damned interesting ahead. All she saw was a huge red barn structure that said... "Holy Christ."

She poked Trouble on the shoulder. "Get off at the next exit. This is gonna be SO much fun."

"Woman, are you bloody kid-"

Loth put his hand over Trouble's mouth before he could finish. "Sure, baby. No problem."

In Lin's car, the little phone rang and Fangy motioned for Raj to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Oh my god. Just get off at the next exit. Call the others," was all Deli said before hanging up.

Raj snorted with laughter and Fangy grinned.

"She bought it?" Seth asked.

"Yeah. She totally did, mate."

Lin glared at her clones and bot who were all snickering. "Okay, now someone explain to me what the hell is going on and why Fangy's getting off on this exit?"

Seth grinned. "Cause Deli wants to visit the Naughty Girls Playbarn and Wholesale Shop."

"What the hell is that?" asked Lin in confusion.

"Only the state's biggest wholesale adult store," Fangy said, his chuckles graduating to a full scale guffaw.

Raj snorted. "It's like the sex toy and lingerie superstore. Imagine our amazement at discovering the brochure for it in the mens room at the Ellington."

Lin sighed. "Now you knew Deli could never resist that. We're gonna be SO late for the party."

All three guys looked at each other, imagined all the girls' different reactions in the store, and chorused, "Who the bloody hell cares?"
