ashsexual - Take Me With You

[ashnotashley]

Ash's life has been far from normal over the past couple of months. In the span of one week, she had gone from Wage Slave college student to The Chosen One to slay the Deadite Army and everything after that seemed to be a spin off.

Figures as much. You have one traumatic incident in an abandoned cabin and life keeps throwing punches at you. Including losing your hand and a sudden trip back to 1300.

But hey, there were plus sides. Like finding the love of your life when you accidentally tripped in the supply closet.

Of course, Sheila doesn't know that.

"You never got to ride in my car, did you?"

Sheila gives her a quizzical look, tilting her head slightly to one side. "Your chariot, m'lady?" she asks, fingers fidgeting with the hem of her dress sleeve. "But it were destroyed in battle, were it not? Thou hast repaired it?"

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

"For the most part," she says, patting the roof of the Classic. "The exterior looks like Hell now and it took a good portion of what I've saved up and a couple of shady deals to get it running again, but it should hold out for now."

"Oh my - this is quite the impressive feat, Ashley!" She smiles, clapping her hands together once. "Thou art skilled in so many ways. Is there nothing thou cannot do?"

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

Be completely honest with Sheila apparently.

"Thanks," she says with a small smile. "But I'm not Wonder Woman. If I was, I'd still be in school right now."

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

Pause. "And who be this Wonder Woman, m'lady?"

Serious face.

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

Ash blinks a little, remembering that Sheila isn't from now and wouldn't get any of her pop culture references.

This was going to be fun.

"She's a superhero. Like...if a knight had magical powers and used them to fight against enemies. Except he could fly. Does that make any sense?"

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

Sheila lets that wonderful explanation sink in for a moment or two. And tries to process it.

"She is just like thee, Lady Ashley? A... superhero?"

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

Ash tries to hide her face with her metal hand. She's trying not to blush, but she's failing. "Well, I guess you could say that."

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"Would thee be offended if I referred to thee as this Wonder Woman, m'lady?" She tries not to smirk. Sheila loves to tease her - especially when it gets that sort of a response. Consider it her way of being cheeky.

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

Well, Mission accomplished, Sheila. Ash is blushing now and possibly running through a few curse words in her head.

"I wouldn't be offended, but I probably wouldn't respond to it."

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

She giggles. "Why hide thine face, m'lady? Is this upsetting?"

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

"No no no, not upsetting. Just a bit embarrassing for me."

Ash Williams, everyone. Chosen One and the defeater of Deadites and she's blushing at being called 'Wonder Woman'. Most girls would take it as a compliment.

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"Mine apologies, Ashley. I did not mean to embarrass thee in such a manner." Slight pout.

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

Ash sighs. There's that pout she can't say no to. "Don't apologize, Sheila."

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"To thee I must." Don't argue with that logic.

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

She's going to anyway. "Who says?"

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"Well." Blink.

"I do, m'lady?"

Now it's Sheila's turn to get flustered.

"After all - thou art the Chosen One whom I am forever in debt to."

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

Ash feels a pang of guilt when she says that. Everything from her getting captured by her evil twin to leaving her behind. Sheila shouldn't have to be in her debt, but Ash knows that Sheila can just as stubborn as her when she wants to be.

"Look, babe, I just don't want you to feel like you have to apologize for every little thing."

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"Well." Sheila clears her throat. "If that is thien wish - then it shall be. I will no longer apologize for every little thing." She pouts, trying to pull the sympathy card, but she definitely means what she says.

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

Ash smiles a tiny bit, her metal hand tugging at the hem of her shirt. "Good."

And now she has no idea what the hell to say next. You're beautiful. I love you. What?

"Look, I've been off the clock for a little bit now. Can we get out of the S-Mart parking lot?"

Smooth.

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"Where is it that we are going, m'lady?" Sheila asks, eyes wide with curiosity. After all, this place is strange and new to her. She hasn't the slightest idea herself!

PS. She's definitely waiting for you to open the passenger door for her.

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

"...My apartment?" Ash says, kind of unsure if that's the right answer. It's been a long day for her, but it probably wasn't that courteous to just leave Sheila hanging like that. "Unless you want the driving tour of Dearborn first."

She pops the driver's side door handle open with her good hand and swings it open for her. "You first."

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

Sheila gives her that bright smile, lifting her skirts just enough to scoot past and slide into the car without much difficulty. "That would be wonderful, I think. This is thine land - I am but a visitor."

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

Ash slams the door and rounds around to her side of the car, taking off her work shirt and revealing the blue sweater under it. She opens her door and tosses her shirt in the backseat. It takes a couple of slams for the door to close properly. "Okay...driving tour, then home. Maybe a food stop on the way?"

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

She's paying attention. Really. It's just that she's never been inside a car before and everything is positively fascinating. Here's to rolling the window up and down! And peering out the side. And touching things she probably shouldn't be touching in the first place. Like messing with the mirrors. "Of course, Lady Ashley!"
