"Sword fight, huh?"

Piper nodded. "Yeah, lightsabers actually. Swords sounded cooler. We were doing wooshy noises and everything. It was intense."

JJ couldn't hold it in anymore. She snorted, loudly, and began laughing. "Okay, nerd," she teased.

"Hey! It's really hard! I don't think you could last a minute in a lightsaber fight!" Piper exclaimed defensively.

JJ gasped as she reached around Piper to grab her ice cream and a spoon. "I think I can last a lot longer than a minute. Give me some credit, I'm not that old!"

"I wasn't saying you were old. I was just... suggesting that you might be less experienced when it comes to the fine art of fighting with lightsabers!"

"You mean... riding crops, used as lightsaber props," JJ corrected, holding a spoonful of vanilla ice cream in the air.

"Whatever," Piper dismissed it, shoving an entire spoonful in her mouth. "Come on."

JJ followed Piper toward the living room where she had been previously sitting. It was kind of a mess, with blankets strewn wrinkled on the couch and empty mugs and bowls over every possible surface.

"I'm sorry about the mess," Piper explained, flopping down in the corner of the safe. "Neither Alex nor I are very good at the whole... tidying up thing."

"Oh, trust me, you're good," JJ chuckled softly and sat down on the armchair opposite Piper. "You should see my hotel room right now."

Piper gasp dramatically. "How... promiscuous. Are you inviting me over?"

JJ rolled her eyes and dipped a long piece of fry into her ice cream. "Wouldn't it be easier for you to invite me over, considering I'm already here? Besides, hotel affairs? Too cliché."

"Affairs in the guest bedroom of your best friend's house, on the other hand...?" Piper raised a suggestive eyebrow and they both burst out laughing after.

Piper completely ignored the way her stomach fluttered.

"Good practice for next week's scene," Piper joked, trying to lighten the mood.

JJ let out a soft chuckle and diverted her gaze to her ice cream. "Are you questioning my abilities?"

"Hm, I don't know," Piper responded, narrowing her eyes playfully. "Can you handle it?"

"Making out with you for a scene?"

Hearing the words out loud... it made Piper's throat tighten. She leaned forward, keeping her playful expression. "Yes."

JJ smirked a little and sat back comfortably in the armchair. "We'll find out next week."

Piper leaned back in her seat. She cleared her throat and shifted so her legs were tucked under her. She ate her dessert quietly.

JJ cleared her throat after a few beats. "So... Valentine's day is coming up. Any plans?"

"Hm... Send my mum a card, have dinner with Alex, Sam, and Adrian, get pissed, come back home before midnight. And, sleep!"

JJ chuckled, twirling her spoon around in the ice cream. "That sounds like a solid plan. No dates?"

"Nah, why would I want to spend my night with someone who's only going to be gone before the next morning?"

"You're right," JJ murmured softly, licking her spoon clean. Piper watched her in earnest.

"What about you?"
