Chapter 15 by Storier Storier

What happens at Pearl's house? Or on the way there?

Straight to Pearl's room.

Pearl remains in a bad mood all the way to her house. She doesn't so much as talk to you until you pull up and park outside of her place.

"All right, we're here. Thanks for the ride," says Pearl, not sounding thankful at all. "Can I go now?"

But taking stock of your longtime friend, you start feeling things you've never felt before. You still haven't forgotten the sight of her taking off her hoodie and how well she filled out the shirt beneath it. Pearl's much curvier than she used to be. Is that a recent development? Or have you just never taken the time to notice?

Before you would have warded away such thoughts. Pearl's your friend, and you wouldn't want to jeopardize your relationship with an attraction that might go nowhere. But after fixing Sullivan and Indigo's relationship, you've had a taste of the true power you wield. What would be the harm in experimenting a little more on Pearl? The possibilities are too intriguing to turn down.

"Sure," you say, getting out of your truck. "Let's go up to your room."

Pearl's confused as you accompany her up to her front door. "You're coming with me?" she asks, getting her keys out from her pocket.

"It's not that late. It's barely eleven," you say. "I figured we could hang out."

Pearl opens her front door, but bars you entry. "Are you kidding me?" she asks, folding her arms stubbornly. "I'm not hanging out with you until you give me all my crap back, Chase. And not some bullshit 'oh yeah you can still use it but it's mine' flex, either. I want to own where I go, and I want to own my sassy attitude, and I want to own my fucking hoodie."

It's not an unreasonable request, and you can't help but feel guilty. Whereas your other friends accepted your new powers to varying degrees, Pearl seems to be the closest to her baseline rationality about you claiming things. Yet you've messed with Pearl almost more than anyone else. Of course she's upset with you. You deserve it, you've been a jerk to her all night.

Do you give Pearl back everything you've claimed?
