"So Amy, Im curious, when were the Martian colonies founded again?"

Amy was sitting at Adelle's bar, having a Pina Colada, and socializing with a pale-skinned brunette woman in a black business outfit, and short hair. Her red/pink eyes gave her away as a friendly-ish demon. It was a quiet night at the hangout, with the male gamer trio at the PC arcade, playing the latest fantasy RPG. Only two were actually present at the moment. One of them was upstairs fucking Anni, and were both screaming in pleasure, which could very faintly be heard. Amy was used to the background fuckfests at this point.

"Yeah, the first colonies were built by the European Space Agency in 2032." Amy began, quite enthusiatic since space was one of he favorite subjects. "The best part was, that big-ass comet from 2020 crashed into Mars, and while all the rovers there got ruined, the planet warmed up big time."

"Didn't someone come up with some magnetic current for Mars?" The brunette had a deep voice, and was curious how humanity was getting to the stars considering its setbacks the past few decades.

"Yes! It was proppsed in 2016 or 2017, but it wasn't until 2030 that someone, NASA I think, sent this huge, powerful satellite to sit a million miles in front of Mars, and created a man made magnetic field big enough to build this huge, invisible magnetic tail." Granted, being a huge space and science nerd and essentially an armchair astronomer and armchair astrophysicist, Amy knew all the nitty gritty details behind the whole thing. Granted, she knew not everyone knows all that much about space stuff, so Amy did her best to translate her thoughts into something laypeople could understand. She continued. "And this magnetic tail stopped the sun from eroding Mars' air so much. It's still going to be a while yet before we can make Martian air safe to breathe.

"So, with the magnetic tail and heavier air, Mars is now safe for you guys to walk around on the surface even with a simple air suit?"

"That's right!"

"Niiiice. Sounds like a new place for me to cause mischief then, haha." The brunette woman joked. Amy snickered, as she loved mischief and mayhem too. Adelle just sat there on the other side of the bar, grinning, obviously eavesdropping.

"So, what's your name again?" Amy asked.

"Bernadette."

"Anni's mom, right?" Amy continued, referring to the perpetually teenage succubus still upstairs at the moment.

"That's right!" Bernadette and Amy fist pumped. Bernadette preferred the word "mother", but since she liked Amy, and Plutonian witches in general (and regardless of light or dark alignment too), she gave her a pass.

At the same moment, Anni came down with the gamer guy she was with, this time down the stairs next to the tree on the other side of the room.

"Hoochie mama!" Anni giggled as she passed the other two gamers, who were finally joined by the third guy. Naturally, high fives, fist pumps, and sex jokes ensued between the three, momentarily distracting the three women at the bar. Raucious laughter and cheering was briefly heard from the cafeteria upstairs. Apparently a sports party was watching an American Football game on a portable holo-tv upstairs. Holo-tv's were finally invented and brought to mass market last month.

"So Amy, are you guys EVER gonna meet yet?" Anni asked as she sat down next to Amy, opposite her mother.

"Yeah, whats up with that?" Bernadette playfully pushed Amy's shoulder. Obviously they were referring to King Gene. Nine months after defecting to the Plutonian Empire, both Gene and Amy's personal schedules kept them from ever actually meeting. They had mutual crushes on each other, the Hangout's worst-kept secret currently, and somehow always missed each other by mere seconds each time they visit the Hangout, with the other leaving at the same time, mainly due to whichever rooms they felt like teleporting in or out of. Gene finally got the hang of teleporting a few months ago too.

"I know, I know." Amy sighed and momentarily dropped her head. "It'll happen. Eventually, haha." Amy grinned, teasing the three women around her, resulting in a short gigglefest between the four.

As the giggling subsided, a group of several guys, all looking to be in their early 20's, came down the stairs. They were somewhat rowdy, already drunk on some beer they brought with them. Apparently the game they were watching ended. Amy had a bad feeling about these guys. Her intuition was proven right moments later, as one of them started harrassing Anni.

"Heyyy, aren't you a little young to be a succubus, little bitch? Haha!" The tallest one, about 6'1 and blond, poked Anni in the shoulder, who remained mostly still, leaning forward, resting her arms on the countertop. Anni's face went from a poker face to a slight scowl, as she tried to ignore them. Amy and Bernadette glared at him as well.

"Hey sweetie, don'tcha have a soul to snatch?" Another guy, a ginger about 5'9, teased Anni. "You can snatch mine, sexy! Oh wait, I don't have one! Haha!" He high fived with a third guy, a brunette about 6'0.

"You wanna bet on it, kids?" Anni spoke softly, but tersely. The gang continued their harrassment for several more moment, teasing and bullying Anni, who continued to sit still, mildly scowling, before finally having had enough...
