"Good morning Madeline!" Nikita almost sang as she entered Madeline's office with books in hand.

"Such a good mood today." Madeline commented with a smile towards Nikita. Nikita sat down, but couldn't sit still.

"Nikita?" Madeline asked as she watched Nikita's constant movement.

"Yeah, Madeline?" Nikita said, not stopping her movement.

"A little sore today?" Madeline asked with a sly smile saying 'I know what you were up to last night'.

"Yes." Nikita said with an equally sly smile. Madeline chuckled as Nikita continued to move around.

"Why don't you try standing up?" Madeline said. Nikita's mouth dropped to the floor.

"Madeline, we've done that a number of..." Nikita started.

"Standing up here." Madeline said, correcting Nikita's line of thought. Nikita immediately stood up.

"You should be more careful. Being this sore could compromise a mission." Madeline said. "So did you finish the reading?"

Michael walked slowly into Section. His steps were far apart, like he had ridden a horse. Walter came up from behind him.

"MMM...looks like it's going to be a long day to make up for the long night." Walter said with a chuckle. Michael looked at him.

"I don't like discussing these things with anyone." Michael said as he continued in his abnormally slow pace.

"Celebrating a good mission?" Birkoff asked as he walked up to Michael and Walter.

"Cut it out you two. We moved furniture last night." Michael said in defense. He opened the office door.

"Sure you did, kid!" Walter said as he continued down the hall.

Birkoff entered the office and watched Michael sit down slowly. "Here is the information you wanted on Kidro." Birkoff said placing the disk on the desk. He walked away.

"Nikita! What did you do last night? Move furniture?" Birkoff said out in the hallway with a laugh.

Nikita turned the corner into the office. "So you told the truth." Nikita said with a smile as she watched Michael grimace in pain.

"Why not?" Michael said as he slipped the disk into the computer.

"Well Madeline had already made up her mind what we did, so I get let her keep it there." Nikita said as she moved into her padded chair.

"Next time you want to rearrange the bedroom, know if the bed is going to fit that way." Michael said as he looked at the computer screen.

"Then we wouldn't have had the fun of being trapped between the wall and the bed." Nikita said, which made Michael start to laugh. He looked over to Nikita.

"I wish we would have done what everyone thinks we did." Michael said with a sly smile. "My back is killing me."

"Maybe you need it cracked?" Nikita said standing up.

"You look so comfortable." Michael said with a scowl.

Nikita bent over quickly. "I feel a lot better. I went for a swim." Nikita said as she pulled at Michael's arms.

"I don't want to get up." Michael complained, but did slowly rise from his chair.

Nikita hugged him around his waist and leaned backwards. Just then Birkoff walked in.

He did a doubletake.

"Isn't it suppose to be the other way around?" Birkoff said as Nikita let Michael go. He turned to the side with a smile.

"I feel better." Michael said as he sat down. Birkoff raised an eyebrow.

"Maybe you did just move furniture." Birkoff commented at the behavior he saw as strange. "I gave you the wrong disk."

Michael looked over at his computer, which now had a title screen, "NIKITA...the game" on the display.

"Nikita...the game?" Michael questioned. Nikita bounded over to the screen.

"Nikita...the game?" Nikita questioned as she looked at the screen.

"Here is the right disk. Can I have that back?" Birkoff said nervously. Nikita looked at Birkoff.

"A game about me...is Michael in it?" Nikita asked as she picked up the correct disk.

Michael leaned over and popped the disk out. "I see your using your time wisely, Birkoff." Michael said.

************

"Kidro has become associated with some big name genetic engineering companies that are looking to clone humans." Operations says as the screen shows a picture of the older man.

"He had provide the funding for these highly classified experiments." Birkoff adds.

Michael and Nikita sit in the briefing room with another couple, who are filling in for the injured Rick and Rita.

"We need to bring down Kidro's finances. In doing that, the companies will go after Kidro, hopefully it will kill two birds with one stone." Operations says, turning off the screen.

"Kidro's wife...Kitty Kidro, works at a craft store. We have arranged an opening for Nikita to fill. Once there, you will become friends with Kitty, and then introduce your husband to the Kidros." Madeline says.

"I've told Nikita about the Kidro's interest in younger couples." Michael says nodding his head towards Madeline.

"We need to get the Kidro's to invite you over for the night...or get you guys 'drunk' at the Kidro's so they would naturally make you stay." Operations says. He looks towards the other couple.

"You two will be the break in team. We are sure that the Kidro's will be watching Michael's and Nikita's every movement." Operations informs the two unnamed operatives.

"Sounds like I'm getting a pretty interesting wardrobe." Nikita comments, and Michael smiles.

"Yeah, you two will probably have to move furniture for this mission." Birkoff says standing up and leaving.

Nikita turns her head towards Michael as Michael turns towards Nikita.

"I don't think I want to know what that comment meant." one of the operatives said as the pair left.

"So, Nikita...how much do you know about crafts?" Madeline asks as the rest of them stand up.

"It's spelt, c..r..a..f..t..s." Nikita says. Madeline grabs Nikita's hand.

"Sorry, Michael, she is mine for the next three nights." Madeline says pulling Nikita out the door.

"Michael." Operations says in his deeply concerned voice.

"Yes, sir?" Michael responds as he stops in his walking.

"Should I regret allowing you to move into her apartment?" Operations says staring into Michael's eyes.

"Sir, honestly, We moved furniture last night. We've stop wasting time fighting the rumors." Michael responds without a moments thought.

"I hope some of the rumors are right. It makes life here more interesting." Operations says closing the door in front of Michael's face.

Michael shakes his head left and right, thinking, 'one minute he doesn't want us having relationships and the next he is upset that we're not having enough.'

***********

"So, Nikita, how do you like working at Crafty Storeroom?" Kitty Kidro asked as she approached Nikita, who was making a shirt at a display booth.

"It has been fun." Nikita said with a smile. Inside her head she was screaming that she hated every minute.

"I can see you've had some customers who have already driven you a bit crazy." Kitty said as she looked at the shirt Nikita was making.

"I took this job for some mad money. My husband won't hand over the money as easily now." Nikita said as she looked down at the t-shirt of a cat.

"Oh? What does your husband do?" Kitty asked interested. Nikita smiled, just like clock work.

"He is an investor. I don't like to get involved." Nikita said with a laugh. She was muttering in her head, remember dumb blonde.

"Do you have a picture of him? I know you must have a good looking husband if he caught you." Kitty said. Nikita pulled out her little wallet. Nikita smiled, this was too easy.

Kitty grabbed the picture, and her pout red mouth opened with a sigh. "Wow. He is a sight to see! I think you two should come over for dinner on Friday." Kitty said handing the picture back. Nikita placed the wallet back in her jeans.

"That sounds wonderful. I'm interested in meeting your husband." Nikita said with a fake smile.

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

"I very much know why there can not be freedom after Section." Nikita said as she collapsed into the couch in the house she was staying in with Michael. Michael sat down.

"Why?" Michael asked as he looked at her.

"I was thinking, 'God this customer is annoying as hell, I wonder if she is related to anyone who knows someone who did something bad so I can kill them!" Nikita said, putting her feet up on the coffee table.

"It can't be that bad!" Michael said as he stood up.

"Michael, the one lady kept on asking do you like this blue or this blue, and they were the same damn shade!" Nikita said loudly.

Michael walked out of the room and then came back in with dinner on a tray for Nikita.

"I'm glad you did the cooking. I dreading even thinking of coming here and doing the cooking." Nikita said as she picked up a fork and dove into the Italian dish. "OH!" Nikita said with a mouth full of food.

"Nikita, finish what you have!" Michael said laughing.

"Don't cook on Friday. We've been invited." Nikita said and then she took another bite.

"That was quick. I was sure it would take a while to get the Kidro's...." Michael started to ramble. Nikita pulled out the wallet.

"I showed her this." Nikita said. Michael opened the wallet and found a picture that Birkoff had taken off of Rick and Rita's visual camera of Michael and Nikita at the tango contest.

"That would do it!" Michael said laughing. He looked at the food Nikita was eating. Picking up another fork, he dove in.

*************

Nikita stands in the living room assessing the dress that Madeline had sent over. It has been made of parts of various pop cans. It was cut low and of course was a very mini dress. Nikita moved side to side and smiled. It was a fun dress...but heavy.

"Michael...I never thought Madeline would send this dress when I told her that Kitty said the dinner was more formal." Nikita calls out as she pulls her hair up off her neck.

Michael walks into the room in his black suit. He looks at the moving Nikita. "I think it's perfect..." Michael said with a slight smile and a raise of an eyebrow.

"Well, I guess if it sparks your attention it will put the Kidro's into a good mood." Nikita said letting her hair fall out of her hands.

Michael walks to her, and gently pulls the hair up again. Nikita raises her eyebrow up in the mirror, and Michael notices.

"Why don't we curl it?" Michael says letting the hair lightly fall again, and taking Nikita's hand and leading her back to the bathroom.

Inside, Michael had already warmed two curling irons.

"Do you know how to do this?" Nikita asked as she started to spiral curl her hair. Michael quickly is doing the same. Nikita starts to laugh.

"I think your side is tighter than mine," Nikita comments laughing. Michael stops.

"SWITCH!" Michael calls out, and walks to the side Nikita had been working on.

The camera pans away from the bathroom as their laughter continues as Michael calls "Switch" two more times.

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_

"Nikita! Come in." Kitty says as she answers the door to the big house on the hill.

Michael is standing behind Nikita, both enter standing very close together.

"This is Michael." Nikita says to Kitty. Kitty shakes Michael's hand politely.

"My, you two are a stunning pair!" Kitty says with a brilliant smile. She starts to lead the duo down the shiny wooden hallway to another room. "My husband is running late, so I am going to try to hold dinner off for a few minutes." Kitty explains as she leads them into room that seems like a ballroom.

Nikita walks in and spins around, and smiles at Michael.

"Darling...I know what you are thinking..." Michael says in a scolding voice.

Kitty continues to smile.

"Actually, Nikita here, showed me a picture of you two dancing. It seemed like you enjoyed so I was going to leave you two here while I ran to check on dinner." Kitty says as she steps over to the sound system and places on some classical music. Smiling at Nikita, she exits the room.

"Nikita..." Michael says as he drifts over to Nikita's slightly swaying body. He runs his hands down the dress. "MMM...I like the feel of this dress..." Michael murmurs as he grasps Nikita's hands and they start a slow dance.

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_

"My dear, where did you find these two?" Kidro asks Kitty as they peer at the monitor in a darkened room.

"The girl works at the store with me." Kitty says with a smile. Kidro pulls her over and kisses her tightly.

"Let's get them drunk." Kidro says rubbing his hands delightfully together.

*************

"Phil, Phil, Phil!!!" Michael slurs out with a loud laugh as he holds onto Nikita in one hand and in another a glass of wine. "You haven't seen anything until my girl serves breakfast in bed."

"Michael!" Nikita laughs back as she also holds onto a glass of wine.

"She is a good cook?" Phil Kidro asks from his chair in the dancing room. He looks intently on the standing couple, hanging on each other while trying to dance and drink at the same time.

"NO!...she's great in the bed..." Michael spats out. Nikita immediately jumps at his mouth, in the process, spills some wine on Michael's suit.

"Madeline is not going to like that!" Birkoff says into their com units. Nikita steps back quickly. Kitty walks over quickly.

"Here. Let me take that so it doesn't stain." Kitty says as she starts to peel the jacket off. Nikita runs her hands down the shirt.

"Oh no! Off with the shirt too!" Nikita giggles as she points out the wine on the shirt.

Kitty slowly unbuttons the shirt and takes it off of Michael.

"You two did take the medication?" Birkoff asks in worry.

"Two." Nikita says, and then takes a sip of her drink. She rolls her eyes, and Michael notices them. They both wish Birkoff would just shut up.

"Two what?" Phil Kidro asks as he watches Nikita run her hands up and down Michael's bare chest.

"Two peas. Two carrots. Two Mi-chaels..." Nikita says as her hands continue in their circling path.

"Oh darling," Michael growls as he rubs her shoulders. They start a quick moving dance to no music.

"Birkoff, we're fine." Michael mumbles as they reach the furthest point away from the Kidros.

"You guys are having too much fun." Birkoff says nastily.

Kitty sits by Phil. Both with wide grins of happiness as they watch the drunken couple slide across the floor, both half naked. Michael stops suddenly.

"I better call Hans to come get us..." Michael says.

"No, no! I insist, you two can stay here." Phil says standing up.

"Oh honey, lets...we'll pretend we're away." Nikita says with an infectious giggle. Soon Michael starts to giggle.

"Will you pretend you're a spy with the mission to seduce me?" Michael says with his giggle.

"Pushing...Pushing..." Birkoff says firmly.

"We have a big house. It wouldn't bother us at all." Kitty says as she walks over to the pair.

Michael leans down and kisses Nikita. "Sure...where is this room now?" Michael says quickly.

"My kind of man." Phil says slapping Michael's arm and winking.

Michael returns the gesture. Nikita looks the other way so she won't see the sickly man gesture.

"The room is this way." Kitty says starting out of the room. Michael holds onto the stumbling Nikita.

"Wait!" Nikita says. She bends down and slides her shoes off. Phil raises an eyebrow as he watches the movement of Nikita. Soon, the heels are ringed around Nikita's finger and the couple starts to stagger off again.

************

"OH my god! Look at this bed!" Nikita screamed in delight as she ran towards the large king size bed and bounced onto it. Phil Kidro watched from the monitor in his bedroom.

"I'll see you in the morning." Kitty Kidro said as Michael started to shut the door. 'I'll be seeing more than you know.' Kitty thought as she jogged into her bedroom.

Nikita got up on all fours on the bed and growled. "I'm a tiger and you are my prey." She growled and then licked her lips.

"My, you are quite the hungry one." Michael said as he walked over to the bed and sat on the edge.

"Team 2 is coming in." Birkoff said.

Nikita crawls over to where Michael is sitting and licks his arm. She starts to push him over when he stands up.

"I wonder what the bathroom is like?" Michael asks as he walks over to the door.

Nikita quickly bounds off the bed.

"Hurry, bathroom camera." Kitty says. Phil leans over and switches the screen to the bathroom camera.

"Looky looky!" Michael says as he looks at the giant whirlpool.

"Oh Michael! Give me a bath!" Nikita says as she leans against his body.

"Team 2 is in the building." Birkoff says quietly.

"Is that what my tiger wants?" Michael teases as he rubs at Nikita.

She nods her head eagerly. He pushes her against the wall and kisses Nikita passionately.

"Raw..." Kitty says as she licks her lips. Phil turns around and looks at her.

Michael leans down and starts to fill the tub with water. He adds some bubbles.

"Michael, remember. Operations says that you two will not...WILL NOT...do anything." Birkoff says in a stern voice.

Nikita giggles at the comment.

Michael turns on the jets. He sits Nikita down on the edge and kisses her feet and legs.

Then he enters the tub with his pants still on. Once settled in, Nikita turns around.

"What is this?" Nikita asks with a sly smile.

"DRY CLEANING." Michael answers with a growl of his own. He pulls Nikita in, dress and all into the foaming tub.

"I'll tape the rest." Phil says as he runs into his tub and starts running the water.

"Subjects in their bathroom." Birkoff says as he watches the heat monitors show the Kidro's approaching the tub.

"MMMM.." Nikita says blowing away bubbles from Michael's face.

"The team is out. Get out and find the camera." Birkoff says firmly.

Nikita stands straight up and turns off the tub. Michael follows suit. Searching the bathroom, they find the camera quickly and attach a Birkoff toy onto it.

"Now get out. They'll never know. In the tape, you guys get out and fall asleep in the bed." Birkoff explains as Nikita's dress drips as she climbs out the window.

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_

"I can't believe you two!" Birkoff says as he opens the van door and hands two towels out.

Nikita immediately wraps up in her as the metal has cooled off terribly quick, and has turned into ice already.

Michael wraps up in his and looks at Nikita.

"You have to sit for us to leave." Michael says staring at Nikita. She looks at him.

"What is it?" Birkoff asks as he looks at Nikita strangely.

"The dress is frozen." Nikita says. She unwraps the towel to show the frozen parts of the dress.

Michael immediately gets up, and grabs more towels. He wraps around her and suddenly there is a loud clank as the dress hits the floor of the van. He pulls her down and the van leaves.

************

In the loading dock, Michael steps out, his pants now dried. He holds his hand out for Nikita and the bundled up Nikita slides out of the van. Madeline walks down the hallway.

"Still cold Nikita?" Madeline asks. She knew that it was raining and that Michael and Nikita would not have access to their coats, but never believed that Nikita would still be cold.

"It was sleet Madeline." Michael said as he noticed Madeline's face.

Birkoff stepped out of the van, carrying the dress. "Where to you want this?" Birkoff asks as the metal clinks against each other.

"Sorry, I didn't think of that!" Madeline said with guilty smile.

Nikita looked up at her. "I'll remember this one." Nikita glares as she continues to shiver.

"I hope it didn't cause any damage...I think you should go to Med.." Madeline starts and Nikita starts to walk away.

"I'll be fine." Nikita says as Operations enters the hallway.

"I need to see you and Michael immediately." Operations says.

"Can I change?" Michael asks. He still has a blanket wrapped around his chest. Operations looks worried.

"No." Operations says turning around. Nikita's mouth hangs wide open.

Madeline jogs down the hallway and pulls Operations to the side. Everyone watches the two have a quick, firework conversation. Madeline walks back down to where Michael and Nikita stand.

"Twenty minutes. Not a minute more." Madeline says turning around.
