Next Day

"Ho-lee smokes! They'z perfect, son!"

Dave smiled as he shook the client's hand looking over his characters. "I'm glad your pleased Mr Byrd."

The man man grinned. "Ah told yew jes' call me Cy!" He walked up to his Starfire. "How ya feelin', darlin'?"

Starfire passed her "sippin' jug" to the Raven next to her and belched with a giggle that made her anatomy, which was quite exposed in the daisy duke cut off shorts and the gingham shirt tied so it barely covered her breasts, jiggle pleasantly. "'Scuse me," She said wiping her mouth with the back of her hand and giving a grin revealing a slight gap between her front teeth. "Ah'm feelin' finer then frog hair split four ways, Darlin' Cy!"

Cy grinned and kissed her happily. He repeated this going down the line to similary looking and barefooted Raven, Princess Daisy with a cowboy hat, Princess Zelda wearing cowboy boots, Totally Spies Alex with a Nascar crop top, Nico Robin, Rukia Kuchiki in a cut off mechanic jumpsuit, Momo Yaoyorozu looking like a cowboy cheerleader and finally his Hinata Hyuuga in just overalls that barelycontained her breasts. All gave similar answers and shared similar traits in apearance as with varations. They were very "countrified", healty looking, freckled, laid back beauties that fit a "certain type" as the customer had requested.

Their personalities, behaviors and ticks had been altered and changed some as well as their appearances but they'd retained everything that made them unique originally as well. Hinata talked to Rukia about training when they got back after checking on the tractor. Daisy and Zelda asked after the state of their subjects "an' th' livestock ah course". Nico and Momo wondered how the still was going. Alex couldn't wait to get home and "crack some cold ones!"

Cy blinked. "You really done it? They'z th' same... but so dif'rent! They'z purfect now!" He wiped away a small tear and cleared his throat embaressed. "'Scuse me! Somethin' in muh eye a second there. Yall done fine work. Damn fine work! Well worth th' payment! Bes' money ah evah did spend!"

Dave smiled. "Honestly it was joy to work with them and a wonderful experience on our end too. Hearing you say that and seeing you all together and happy majes it all worthwhile, Mr Byrd- Sorry, I meant Cy." He cleared his own throat grinning. "Itz been a right pleasure makin' yer dreams come true, sir. We wish yall ah life ah happiness an joy when yall git home!"

They walked them out the door and waved watching them leave. "Look at you turning on the country charm at the end there," Harley said chuckling and waved her hand when he growled. "Oh don't be like that! You made his day. You done good!"

Tink smiled. "A really odd and large request... but quite lucrative! That guy may not act it but he's loaded. Completing nine commissions at once and rather exacting ones at that."

Dave nodded and smiled. "It helped that most all of them were genuine sweethearts. We didn't want to change their core personalities, just alter a bit. The real hard part was the physical changes. He had an exact look and type he wanted. They maybe leaning a bit into the stereotypes a wee bit, but in lots of minor and particular ways making a more intricate picture."

Dave sighed. "That's most of them cleared out. I'll have to start working on my fathers requests seriously."

"Actually," Tink said we have two new prospective clients for next week. Both requesting stable and functioning fusions. Harls hasn't gotten a chance to do her thing yet though..."

Dave smiled. "Oh really?" Just the thought of something new got him excited and fusions were tricky work. Anybody with the right equipment and no how can do it... and often had. Fusions could be stressful and even dangers ones were done. Some subjects weren't very compatible with each other. Others were completely incompatible or dangerous. "What are the requests Pepper?"

(("One is for a Android 18/Bulma fusion and the other is for a Starfire/Raven fusion, Dave."))

Dave nodded as the first one wasn't bad. Fusions between characters from the same worlds and franches was easier than others. Depending on the customers requests a Bulma 18 might not be bad.

The second request made him wince though. "Oh boy... a StarRaven? That's going to be a tough one... Harks can you meet those customers and find out exactly what they want and are hoping for? Depending on their needs and desires that might not be a good one to take on."

Harley nodded and hustled off to her office. "Gotcha. I'll go set it up now for next week!"

He started back for his and Tink followed. "No good? It should be easy to do. They're from the same universe, franchise and they have a bond."

Dave nodded grabbing a water. "Hang on. Was that everything for today, Pepper?"

(("That was all appointments taken care of for the week. Can I assume you're about to do the usual then?"))

Dave grinned. "Yup!" He turned to everyone else in the main area knowing Pepper would relay his voice to the rest. "Another fine job this week everyone! Other than who Evers on duty you can leave early when your works finished! Have a great weekend people and I'll see you Monday if not sooner! Those who are pulling duty to care for our patients, dinner is on the company so order what you want!"

There's a lot of happy cheering and even the people who were on the rotation for staying were happy. Dave headed back for his office to finish up his own work. "Getting back to your question a fusion like that has a higher likelihood of success but they're very different characters in some very fundamental ways. It'll create a big stress on the new character if it isn't handled delicately. Raven depends on control of her emotions while Starfire and Tamaraneans in general tend to wear their hearts on theur sleeves usually. Especially Starfire."

"I remember," Tink said. "Your dad's Raven had trouble because of her animal instincts sometimes. They worked on that a longtime."

Dave nodded doyble checking his schedule. "Yup and she had a "limiter" on some of her powers so they could lock them down if she needed. A Starfire/Raven combo would beed something similar or a different option." He smiled collecting his few things. "Well that's a problem for next week and to discuss with the potential client. Come on let's go see if we can look at a couple of those houses and who knows... maybe to RealDreams!"

"Aw, hell yeah!" Tink said kissing his check and perching on his shoulder. "Let's do this! TGIFF!"

Dave blinked. "It's just one F, Tink."

Tink grinned as they heard Harley call out. "The second F is for "Fuckers"!"

Dave rolled his eyes. "She must already be ditching her "work" look. Well... alright then. TGIFF, it is!"
