A/N: And, we're back! Alrighty everyone, while I don't sit my lazy ass down to write Story Not Told's sequel, I'll be writing a sequence of short one-shots at request. I'm fine with any pairing.

This was Andrea O'Down's idea.

PAIRING: Buster X Ash

Buster didn't know many things, but he knew exactly what it felt like to be in love. And that was exactly what he felt whenever he thought about - one of his youngest, in advance - cast mate. Alright, he had managed to play it cool for the longest while. But whenever he got some alone time with her, this feeling threatened to show. And that's exactly what's happening now.

Since the theatre family, as they liked calling themselves, heard about Johnny dad's being arrested, they made sure to drop by his garage so the boy wouldn't feel lonely. Well, everyone minus Mike. That said, their favorite pastimes with the kid were singing, playing RPGs, playing Cards against Animality and watching movies.

Well, today was movie night, after a particularly tiring presentation. Buster had decided to put together a bunch of skits, and now he couldn't help but bitterly regret it. It had been a weekend event at a famous music/drama school, and everything had to be perfect. And so it was. Everyone had done great; however, they were all tired now.

Johnny had uninterestedly watched the movie for a while until sleep won him over. Now, he was sleeping flat on the ground. And so were Meena and Ash, the difference was that both laid on the couch, in a deep sleep. The pig duo of the group, still wide awake, now cooked baked potatoes and chatted away downstairs.

Buster sat on the couch, still somewhat concentrated at the movie that he was watching, and every once in a while he checked out the two teens by his side. When a particularly loud scene came up, the two woke up in a jolt, along with Johnny.

"What in the world was that?!"

"Calm down everyone, it's a shootout in the movie. It's okay." The elephant stood up, rubbing her eyes.

"You know, guys..." She yawned. "I think I'm just gonna go home, it's getting late."

"The streets are dangerous this hour, Meena," Johnny said, matter-of-factly, "you can sleep here, I have mattresses in the back."

"Thanks but... my mom'll be worried. I gotta go."

"Can't you call her or something, man?" Ash suggested, but the other girl shook her head.

"I gotta go. She doesn't know you guys that well to let me stay here, even if I asked." She laughed a little. "I'll just take the bus. But thanks, you guys."

"I'll walk ya downstairs." Johnny offered, and despite the elephant's protests, he walked her down. Returning, the gorilla bid his guests a good night and went to bed. Ash was fast asleep and rested against Buster. The koala flushed red. He just had to be the other one that remained on the couch. Carefully, he tried moving her away, but she jumped awake.

"I'm sorry." He said, sheepishly.

"It's alright." Ash rested against his shoulder again, making him tense. She stared at the TV. "How did a crime movie turn into this?"

"Worst crime movie ever." Buster laughed. "Wanna watch something else? I'm not really paying attention to this."

"Yeah, this is really bad." She grabbed the remote and started going through channels. In a particular romantic movie, Buster stopped her. She gave him a weird look. He watched the movie with mouth agape and curled his lips into a grin when he saw a particular actress appear.

"Do you crush on her, by any chance?" She said teasingly, as she brushed against his arm. He jumped.

"Wha-?! No, I don't! I just kinda... like romantic movies."

"You're baffled by Emma Stork! You crush on her!" He blushed.

"I don't! I just like her as an actress!"

"I'm just teasing ya, Moon." He was flushed red. "You look like a tomato. Need some water?" She laughed.

"Thanks. You can watch something else if you like."

"Nah, I'm good." She rested against the couch. "Let's watch your girlfriend."

He shot her a bored look. "Not my girlfriend."

"But you do crush on someone."

He shrugged. "Maybe. Is there a problem?"

"No, not at all. I'm just curious as to which type of girl you crush on. That's all."

"What type of guys do you crush on?"

"Mostly rockers." Buster squeezed his eyes tightly, looking away. "They tend to be sweethearts. Can't say it about Lance, though."

"You... crush on sweethearts?"

"Yeah. Why the surprise?" She laughed. "They're caring and nice to be around. You think rockers have hearts of stone, right?"

"Maybe."

She laughed. "I know it seems unlikely, but we do have a heart. And you, what kind of girls do you crush on?"

"I think... the same you do. Just change it to 'girls' instead of 'guys'. Sweetheart girls are always nice to be around."

"I bet. And are you crushing on a sweetheart girl now?"

Tell her, tell her not, tell her, tell her not...

"I... it's complicated."

Tell her not.

"How so?"

"Impossible relationship."

"Dead, famous, or doesn't care about you?" He gave her a light stare. "Okay, then what?"

"She's not going to want me. I'm old."

"She isn't worth it if her only reason to turn you down is your age."

"Are you saying you'd date a much older guy?"

She shrugged. "If he was nice... I don't see why not. You should tell her. Most she can do is say 'no', right?"

"I already did."

"And what did she say?"

"'I think you should tell her.'" He closed his eyes, hoping his response wouldn't be a slap. She furrowed her brows, and then it struck her.

"No... you didn't."

"Is it... bad, for you to deal with?"

"No. Not at all. I mean... you always came across as a nice guy."

He shifted awkwardly, fiddling his thumbs. "Friend nice or boyfriend nice?"

Ash shrugged. "Won't find out if I don't try." Before Buster could say anything else, she thrust her lips onto his.
