So this is my first GG fan fic- although I've had story ideas stewing around in my head for a while. Let me know what you think! –voile

The bus stop was unusually empty of people. Normally, everyone would be going to the red light district (the biggest hive for clubs, brothels, and drug cartels in the city) at this hour of the night. It was just after sunset, and the sky was cloudy and dark. The humidity in the air was causing a girl's hair to frizz up. Other than the hair, and the outrageously pink bubblegum she was chewing, she was completely unremarkable.

The girl standing next to her however, was. Olive skin, red lips, and perfectly done makeup. A mane of perfectly curled dark brown hair. Hazel eyes that kept casting flirtatious glances at the hot looking guy two seats over. But neither he, nor the unremarkable bubblegum girl, were giving her any attention. This slightly irked the girl (for our purposes, lets call her nameless hottie #1) and she tossed her hair and pouted. What irritated her even more was when her pouty faced 'vogue' look landed right on the bus driver, who had just pulled up. He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. She just rolled her eyes and strode past him. The dark haired boy got on after her, and then the bubblegum girl, who let a frown wrinkle her brow for a moment, before making her expression go blank.

Hottie and dark haired boy sat next to each other. Bubblegum girl sat a few places behind, and on the other side. A business man in a tux and a hobo sat down as well, taking their places in proximity to hottie. A few other people on the bus shuffled around, so that the new arrivals couldn't see their bus pulled out into the crowded Italian street.

Hottie struck up a conversation with dark haired boy. Bubblegum girl couldn't hear what they were saying above the hubbub of voices and engines. But he listened politely, and he had a predatory glint to his eyes that the girl recognized. The Italian hottie flirted outrageously with him. The girl chewed her bubblegum harder and blew a bubble, making it pop with a noise that startled the dark haired boy, so that he stared at her with intense blue eyes. She raised her eyebrows at him, popped an even larger bubble, and pulled the signal cord. His eyes widened in response, and he gave an almost indecipherable nod, before turning back to the hottie and apologizing. The bubblegum was discreetly stuck to the floor. The bus pulled to a stop, and both he and the bubble gum girl stood up.

"Questa è la mia fermata." This is my stop, he said to the hottie. She blew a kiss.

"Ciao."

As he exited the buss, he sped up to catch the bubblegum girl.

"What the hell are you doing here?" he asked in a hushed voice.

"Nice to see you again." she said.

"That didn't answer my question, did it?"

"I was saving your sorry ass, once again." she said. He smirked.

"Seeing as every person on that bus had it in for me, I think I was managing fine."

"At least with that slut you were. I thought she was about to drool."

"Jealous much?"

"Were you thinking of taking her to bed? Don't forget to use protection!" she said in a motherly voice.

"I was thinking of shooting her in a dark alleyway." he said bluntly.

"Well it looks like I've taken care of that one for you." said the girl in a singsong voice. Neither of them blinked or startled when the bus they had left behind exploded, sending orange rays of beautiful destruction into the night.
