Sorry, idea finally popped in head. A lot of Smart Guy/Veronica in this chap.

As Aqua cared to her husband's wound and Jazz watched. Jazz's violet eyes watched as Aqua swiftly washed Sly's blood soaked fur before wrapping it in a bandage.
A knock echoed and Jazz jumped, holding Wheezy's Tommy gun, which she found near the kitchen table and decided to use it, closer.
Aqua blinked up, ready to stand, but Jazz beat her to the door. The white ferret aimed the gun at the door and opened it...
Amber eyes blinked.
"Jazz?"
Jazz blinked up at Halo's younger sister, Veronica. The she-wolf raised one brow and Jazz quickly lowered the gun. Jazz tugged at the color of her hoodie, a habit she's getting from Greasy when caught by Olly looking at another female.
"Sorry...just attacked." Jazz said.
Veronica nodded, looking over at Sly and Aqua. To her shocked eyes, Jazz said, "I'll explain later."
Veronica looked back down at Jazz and smirked. "Wheeze forget his gun?"
"Uh...yeah."
Veronica nodded and asked, "You want me to take you home or...?"
Jazz glanced at her parents. Her mother's blue fur seem to become an odd silver color in the moonlight. Her father's head rested on her shoulder, his breaths light.
"I'll stay here." Jazz said.
Veronica nodded.

Telling what happened to Smart Guy proofed to be difficult.
"Ya let 'er stay! W'at's wrong with ya?" he asked, his hands in fist.
The she-wolf would usually just growl back at the pink suited weasel, but, today, she just wanted a drink.
She rolled her amber eyes and said, "Look, you pink, meloprism, rude weasel. I'm just want a drink. Jazz is old enough to do what she wants."
Smart Guy growled at her insult, but didn't say anything. Veronica sighed and muttered, "You need a drink."
"T'anks for offending." he said.
"What?"

At the bar, Veronica laid her head on the table as Smart Guy ordered. Why was she here? With
Smart Guy? Smart Guy Lander? Why?
"Don't be in such a bad mood, doll face." Smart Guy said, taking a sip of his drink.
"Me? In a bad mood? You're the one that always in some kind of mood."
"True, but I got over my mood. Now it's ya turn."
Veronica looked at him, her amber eyes locking with his dark brown eyes.
"You say it like a game, Lander." she said, her claws digging into the wood.
Smart Guy rolled his eyes. "For the love of...Just drink."
To that, Veronica rolled her eyes as well and took his drink. Ignoring his shocked face, she took a swing. She raised a brow and swirled the liquid around in the glass.
"Not bad." she said, looking down at the crimson liquid.
"Not bad? That was mine, Fluffy."
She looked at him with a smirk. "What? Don't want my cooties, Pinky?"
Smart Guy glared at her. "I'm more worried about my drink. That, and you might have rabies."
"Rabies? Now that's a rude thing to say to a woman."
"Woman? Ha, I've seen better."
Veronica, now offended, put the glass down and faced him. She put her hands behind her head and asked, "How so?"
Smart Guy only stared at her for a minute before he cleared his throat and said, "Well...for one, I've seen someone with better..."
"Better what?" she leaned forward, her hands now on pinning him as she smirked.
"Better matter." he muttered, not daring to move.
"Ha," she said, her eyes closing, "I've seen better men with better style in cloths," her eyes opened, "but..."
He raised a brow. "But?"
Veronica's eyes became gentler as her hand now came to his chest. "You.....may not be the nicest, but...you can be when you want to...and...I think you look cute."
"Cute?" he asked, trying to ignore the warmth of her hands as they trailed to his tie.
"Yeah, I mean, to tell the truth, your meloporism is kinda cute...that," she smirked, "and you are
very handsome, compared to the other weasels I've seen."
Smart Guy didn't know what to say to that. It wasn't the booze talking, he's seen her drink more. So...what she was saying was true. He didn't know what he was feeling, but...he felt...happy, in some way.
Shocking Veronica, he leaned over and kissed her. The she-wolf's amber eyes became wide, but soon closed. As he parted, she smirked and said, "You taste nice, too."
...Don't judge me...I like it.
