Russian to the Rescue
"TAXI!" Cait yelled and leaned out over the curb with her hand raised. Hundreds, if not thousands, of cabs in New York and Cait couldn't get one to stop. They all zoomed by without even slowing down. She knew she should have taken the train back, but she didn't like the train. It was irrational, yes, but it was the way it was and she had elected to take a cab. However, none were stopping and she didn't want to be stranded in the city for the night.

Time to call the cavalry.

She dialed Vlad's number.

	Vlad picked up his cellphone as he doodled at his desk and checked the caller id before answering. "Minion hotline, if pretty and blue-haired please press 1, if otherwise please hang up and contact your local minion distribution center for further information." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Cait laughed. "I need my wonderful boyfriend to come to my rescue. I'm stuck in New York and I can't seem to catch a cab for the ride back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's no problem, but I won't turn down backed goods," he grinned as he made his way down the stairs. "Just text me the address you're at. Be right there!"

In less time than google maps said it'd take, a car rolled up to where she said she'd be and rolled it's window down. Vlad grinned and tipped his hat at her, he'd gotten put on a chauffeur hat for the occasion, okay fine it was a newsie but it made a good substitute. "Did a lady call for a cab?"

	Cait had to laugh when she saw him. She climbed in the car and kissed him. "You're a lifesaver. Silly as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grinned and kissed her back. "Great! What flavour would you say I am? I always figured strawberry but I suppose an argument could be made for one of the others..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll work with cherry, as long as you like cherry lifesavers," he grinned. "I don't know what's wrong with the cabs in this city if they won't stop for a beautiful girl. Well, their loss, my gain. So, where to miss?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh great, in addition to your royal husband, and incredible charming russian commoner guy, I have to compete with a genius too? Man, the trials I have to go through..." he joked and leaned over to kiss her cheek at a stop light. "Totally worth it though. By the way, got a preferred fast food in mind?"

	"Why thank you kind lady. And nice choice, there should be one around here, last I remember at least." There was a short bit of circling around a few blocks but they did find a place soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's good," he assured her. "Well, I've got good timing then. Let it never be said I let you go hungry," Vlad laughed. "Come on, let's order something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You just say that so you do get the chocolate sometime." Since he already knew what he was getting, Vlad let have a moment to decide. "Eating here or to go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He winked. "And I promise not to reveal it. But smart idea, we always make sure to get our daily dose of chaos anyway. Let's go wrangle a seat," he grinned and took her hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
