Ok so some of the information I just made up but other parts are courtesy of Google. I do not own IPS, although that would be cool. What I do own is this story and a few characters, and the plot line. Thank you and have a good read. Remember all feedback is welcome!!

Three weeks after their trip to Colorado found Mary and Marshall sitting in the office by themselves for the third night in a row finishing up paperwork.

"Hey Mare what are you doing tomorrow?" Marshall asked as he signed his last piece of paperwork for the weekend.

"Nothing! I plan on sitting at home and enjoying the quiet, now that every one but Jinx has moved out, and she is always at the dance studio, it is a lot nicer to be at home." Mary said turning to Marshall. "Why?"

"Well I was wondering if you wanted to go to the gun show with me tomorrow. I was thinking about getting a new long gun and I would like your opinion. And now that almost everyone is out I know you want that gun room." Marshall answered smiling softly.

"And why should I give up a quiet day in by myself to spend all day in a really big crowd with you?" Mary replied back with a hint of a smile forming on her face.

"Well we both know you don't like being by yourself for hours on end, and you like guns, and you love me like and 8 dollar whore of course." Marshall said, his smile much more pronounced now.

"Well aren't you just cocky as hell! I'll think about it, how's that? But for now I would really like it if you just took me home." Mary said trying not to yawn.

"Tell me again why you refuse to get a new car? Or at least a newer car? Picking you up has the advantage of you being here on time, but really Mare. I'll get you a new gun. You can even pick it out." Marshall said getting up from his desk after shutting off his computer. As he walked over to Mary he started, as Mary so eloquently says all the time, spewing off random shit. "You know, only 3% of Americans still have their first cars. Or that in response to speculation that gasoline prices would exceed $2.50 per gallon in the 80s, a more fuel efficient replacement for the Ford Mustang was developed in conjunction with a small sport coupe designed and built by Mazda here in the U.S. As the release date grew near for the "new" Ford Mustang, gasoline prices were as low as ever and Mustang afficinados voiced their displeasure with a small front-wheel drive replacement. In response, Ford kept the Mustang as is and released the Ford Probe as an additional model to its lineup. The Probe proved to be an instant hit, and Mustang sales were as strong as ever. Two cheers for Ford for bringing us the Probe and keeping the Mustang. The design for the Probe can be traced to concept design vehicles named Probe I, II, and III…."

"Marshall shut the hell up. I really do not care how the probe came about or how many people still have their first cars. I happen to like my car, and you never know, since I love ya like an 8 dollar whore maybe I like having you as a wake up call." Mary said almost pushing Marshall over as she stood up. "And as I said I would really like to go home. So please, if you really want me to go with you, shut up."

"Yes M'am" Marshall said grinning as he tipped his invisible cowboy hat at her.

"You know damn well that I am no M'am. If you say that tomorrow I'll borrow one of the guns at the show and then I'll show you how well it works." Mary said grinning at the thought of using a new gun.

"So you'll go!" Marshall said arrogantly, as if he knew she would from the get go.

"Only if you shut up for the night. And that includes during dinner." She said as she walked out the doors to the parking lot. "And your buying!"
