Subject: ...something up your sleeves
Пожалуйста, помогите перевести:

You have plans tonight? You and Vee have something up your sleeves?

С планами на вечер всё ясно, а вот что имеется в виду во втором вопросе? Кажется, прямой перевод здесь не уместен.

Заранее спасибо!

have something up one's sleeve and have an ace up one's sleeve

Fig. to have a secret or surprise plan or solution (to a problem). (Alludes to cheating at cards by having a card hidden in one's sleeve.) I've got something up my sleeve, and it should solve all your problems. I'll tell you what it is after I'm elected. The manager has an ace up her sleeve. She'll surprise us with it later.
