Week 2 Gabriella's Date: Part Seven

Just about everyone ran off right after lunch with plans leaving just Anna and Candy behind in the dinning hall.

"So what are you up to this afternoon?" The blonde asked Anna inquisitively. She could have just gone flying again, but felt more like company today.

Anna blinked over at Candy having been lost in thought. "Oh, sorry I thought you'd left in the rush too. I found something strange and I'm trying to decide if it's a good idea or not."

"Ooooo! Secrets! Me and Tracy found a secret treasure yesterday." Candy giggled.

Anna nodded. "I noticed your scores both jumped, what was it?"

"We flew on top of the tower and Tracy found a hidden box with treasure cards in it that let us copy someone's victory point gain, and we picked Stacy cause Tracy was sure Laura and her would sleep together!"

Anna took a few moments to process that. "You carried Tracy all the way to the top of the tower?"

"Yes! I wasn't sure we were going to make it though, it was soooo tiring. I just fell over exhausted when we got there."

Anna shook her head. She knew Tracy was that reckless but she hadn't figured her blonde friend would be. She was prone to get caught up in the moment though. Tracy gambling on her sisters sleeping together was definitely pure Tracy. She must have had a good argument to get Candy to go along with it though.

"Okay so this is a bit silly, but I was missing my shop this morning and I started thinking about working on my bike. Next thing I know my bracelet is tugging on my arm."

"Ooooo! Did you follow it?"

Anna shook her head. "No, I came down to breakfast instead. I don't know where it was trying to take me but it obviously couldn't be my garage. So who knows what I'd be in for. And the last time I went exploring I ended up a cow for three days. Still I miss working with my hands, this **** vacation is making me stir crazy."

Candy took Anna's big hands in her own and started bouncing up and down in excitement. "Exploring! Exploring! Exploring!"

Anna rolled her eyes and sighed. Candy's enthusiasm was as contagious as ever. "Okay, fiiiiine."

"Yay!" Candy flashed to her pixie size and flew up landing on Anna's shoulder where she hugged the tall woman's neck.

Anna snorted. "Well that's one way to keep up with me." She started thinking about her garage and working on her bike again and quickly felt the tug on her wrist.

Letting the bracelet lead her out into the hall she followed it to the Moongate and stepped on.

Anna found herself in another hallway that she didn't recognize, not that that was hard with it all looking the same. Still there were no familiar sights.

"Does it feel darker to you?" Candy's tiny voice piped in Anna's ear.

Looking back and forth down the hall Anna shrugged, causing Candy to giggle as she was jostled. "Same lamps as always." Holding her arm up she continued following the tug until she came to a dark wooden door at the end of the hall. "Huh, that's different." The doors were always to the side in the hallways, except for the big double doors at the entrance. "Do you think this leads outside?"

"I haven't seen any other doors, and I've been all around the castle." Candy replied.

Anna opened the door on a large dark space, the light from the hall spilled in showing only empty floor nearby. "Well that isn't spooky at all." Anna quipped, but stepping inside anyways.

Suddenly a overhead light snapped on momentarily blinding the two, but they heard another light snap on further away, then another even further.

When they could see again Anna whistled. It was a garage! Well a workshop anyways that had an area that looked like a garage with all the familiar kinds of tools, and something under a black tarp. A fucking big workshop she realized looking at other areas with their own assortments of tools. "look at all of this. That's the shop I was being led to obviously, but there's a woodworking area, and is that a fucking old style forge?" Sure enough she could make out a big ass anvil and all manor of different hammers mounted on the wall nearby.

"Neat!" Candy cried, still clinging to Anna's neck.

Anna walked towards the mechanic's area of the workshop. There was a fortune in tools here, way better quality than the stuff her father had been able to afford for their garage.

She shook her head looking at a Pemro titanium dial torque wrench that she knew cost thousands of dollars just by itself, and that was just one of a full set of the fucking things. She couldn't help herself, and ran a finger along the gleaming tool filled with envy that Shar had all this shit just sitting here unused.

"It just isn't fair." The giant woman said as she picked up the tool and was flashed by a card in front of her face.

Chop Shop: Your kit has been parted out leaving your undercarriage hanging out. Good luck finding them.

Anna realized she was now standing in her underwear. "My fucking jacket! Son of a bitch!"

"Noooooo!" Candy cried at the loss of her dress and sneakers, being overly dramatic.

Anna tried to glare at the pixie. "It's not funny. My father gave me that."

Candy hugged Anna's neck again and kissed her ear. "I'm sorry. We'll find it. Good luck finding them it said, not gone just hidden."

Anna tried to calm down realizing she'd come very close to smashing the torque wrench into something, a cardinal sin. "Yeah, you're right. And at least it left us some clothes." Since they'd already been hit by one trap she decided they might as well see what was under the tarp. "I wonder what was being worked on here."

Anna quickly forgot all about her missing clothes. "My bike. That's my motorcycle! What the hell is that doing here?"

"Being resized?"

That's when it dawned on Anna, her bike matched her new seven foot frame. "Holy shit, you're right. How the hell did they do that? This has to be the servants at work right? Do they use this shop?"

"No one here now." Candy said.

Anna laughed as she straddled her bike. "Not that we can see, they could be all around us for all we know." Firing her bike up she smiled as it purred like a kitten. "Oh yeah, that's right baby, momma's home." She revved the engine a few times before shutting it back off. "Still running great even."

"So your bracelet did lead you to your bike."

Anna nodded. "Yeah I suppose it did, do you think it can lead us to our clothes?"

Candy danced about on Anna's bare shoulder. "Treasure hunt!"

.

Laura watched Misty arrange the three paintings in the circular transit room of her suite. The rest of the afternoon in the arcade had been a blast. She'd have to take Anna there on their date.

Laura smiled at the painting of Anna that Misty was placing now. The pose, the look, that was pure Anna. She'd been such a fool to abandon her.

Looking at the painting of Misty Laura decided that too was the Misty she showed when it was just the three of them, so confident and brash. Maybe she'd ask for another of Misty cloaked and secretive to hang next to it showing the duality of the busty woman.

And Gabriella. Seeing the painting of her in the maid uniform still hurt, Laura thought she was too proud to be reduced to a servant's role. She'd be sure to ask Misty for one with the Spanish woman in one of her Victorian dresses to balance it.

Looking over she saw that Gabriella too was looking at her painting with a sad expression on her face. Laura turned and hugged her, trying to ignore how the motion caused the other woman's breasts to bounce wildly in the confines of her borrowed bra. "You okay?"

Gabriella gave Laura a sad smile. "I am okay, and I will be okay. Worst comes to worst I can always upgrade the transformation."

Both women were then enveloped in a hug by Misty. "No being glum! We're here to have fun!" She smiled. "They did a great job with the lighting in here."

Laura nodded, looking up at the large round fixture in the ceiling that shed an even glow about the room without any harsh shadows. "Before I forget, I'd like one of you being all mysterious in your cloak." Misty laughed at the idea. "And I still want one of Gabriella in her normal dress." She smiled at the Spanish woman then gave her a kiss.

"As you wish." Misty told her. "Now lets go upstairs and do something reckless." Misty had decided her interpretation of her reading had not been wrong, it could totally be both the trap and what she expected. And she wouldn't let the once older woman sacrifice herself, she cared about her too much. If she had to drag her kicking and screaming over the finish line then so be it.
