Intermission 6

“Good evening, my lovely audience!”

Dakota sat in front of a roaring bonfire, smiling at the camera. For once, she wasn’t putting Nola to work as a ****; the pinkette was wearing her green clothes again, and lazily eating olives on the couch while she read a magazine.

The host ignored her slacking flunky.

“You may be wondering what the purpose of today’s intermission is,” she said with a dramatic sigh. “Well, allow me to tell you! We’re embarking on a very significant moment! Our dear friend Marley is about to embark on a romantic date with her beloved master! …Not that she would acknowledge her feelings, of course.”

Dakota rolled her eyes. “Like there was any doubt, right?” She sniggered, and tapped her cane on the floor. “Now then… this is important, so keep it secret, alright?”

She touched her finger to her lips, and her pleasant smile took on a malicious turn.

“Marley assumed, as I’m sure many of you did, that she would be choosing for herself the content of her dream.” Dakota batted her eyelashes innocently. “Whoever could have given her that notion, I wonder?”

The smirk on her lips spoke for itself.

“No… Marley won’t get to choose her own date. She won a prize, but she didn’t win THAT grand of a prize. But perhaps this is for the best? We all know that Marley would choose something boring and platonic, considering she’s not even aware of her romantic feelings for Nick. Probably something like lounging around watching TV all night or playing board games or whatever. So with that in mind, I decided to take the liberty of presenting some date options of my own!”

Dakota tapped her chin.

“However… I have so many ideas I just couldn’t pick! So I decided to let you all in on the fun! So think carefully, what do you want Marley and Nick to do on their date together? Would you like… the two of them to spend time having a picnic on their own private island in the tropics?”

An image of a beautiful, picturesque island flashed up on one of Dakota’s screens. Rather like the island that Harem Hotel was located on, only this one was much more rugged; no bars or pools or buildings, just the wilderness and a picnic basket resting beneath an umbrella on the beach.

“Or if you’re tired of resort islands and want something a little different, how about their own private water park? Just the two of them going down the slides and rafting down the lazy river?”

The image changed to a picture of a water slide.

“Or, we could go for a completely different climate, instead!” Dakota said, waving her hand. “How about a nice ski trip on a snowy mountain? Two lovers snuggled up warm and toasty in the lodge sipping on hot cocoa?”

The image changed again, to show a snowy mountain, and a nice, comfortable skiing lodge right at the base of it.

“And keep in mind,” Dakota continued, “a date is about more than just the locale. It’s also about what you’re doing together! And nothing gets the heart pumping quite like an exciting ziplining course in the mountains!”

The screen changed again to show a long zipline set up over a large hill, with a wild expanse of untamed wilderness stretching out beneath it. The cables swung in the wind, teasing a fast and intimate ride for two.

“But when it comes to sexy and exciting, there’s nothing sexier than the human brain. And that’s why this last idea is our two lovers using their wits to find their way out of an escape room- one loaded with sexy puzzles to solve, of course!”

Dakota winked at the camera and the screen shifted one last time to display a dungeon-like room that was filled with sex toys.

“…And that’s all!” Dakota waved her cane and banished the screen away. “So you all tell me, what sort of date would you like them to see? I’m leaving it up to you, but I can promise you this much- whatever we get, it’s sure to bring our two lovebirds to a very… intimate climax, as you’ll soon see.”

She leaned back in her seat and cackled. Then she turned to Nola and asked for some olives. The leprechaun was happy to oblige, and the two sat and watched the numbers roll.
