Part One

Brian leans against the bar at Woody's saloon next to Thaddeus, Everett and Mitchell, drinking whiskey and watching the beautiful young cowboys at the tea dance. He sees a stunning blond who catches his eye; he watches him for several minutes before he approaches.

The blond shakes his head 'not interested'. Brian chuckles, liking the kid's spunk. He starts to pull the blond towards him.

"No, I know you're a famous gunslinger but I don't want any trouble."

"Just relax, boy, I'm going to show you what it means to be with a real man." His lithe angel struggles to get away but is backed against the wall; he leans in to kiss him just as his cell goes off.

"Hey, where are you? I've looked everywhere."

"Up in the holo-deck."

"Oh? Picking up tall, dark strangers again?"

"Always."

"Come down when you finish your fantasy."

Brian runs his hands down the boy's cheek and whispers, "Got to go."

Justin's standing at the stove, starting dinner when he feels Brian's strong arms wrap around his waist and his lips kissing his neck. He whispers, "Done so soon?"

"Why fantasize when I can have the real thing."

Justin smiles, thinking – best investment we ever made...

The End...
