The Morning After Chaos

Mary woke up in bed with eleven other gorgeous women. She was firmly nestled between Sam and Allie on either side, one arm pinned under each of them, their faces inches from hers. What time is it? There is hardly any light coming in from the balcony yet. Mary heard Freya get up out of bed, and go to the bathroom. She shortly came back out in the revealing outfit Mary had picked the night before. Damn does that show off her legs nicely. No bad Mary, we are not adding Freya to the Harem. The little voice in the back of Mary’s mind spoke up again, But… Freya wants that. She had to be honest. So why not? Mary followed Freya as she moved around the room tidying up a bit. I thought she said she wasn’t my maid. Freya saw Mary staring at her and frowned slightly, and then Freya walked over to the foot of the bed.

She stared down at Mary in annoyance and then gestured to her outfit, giving Mary a look that said “REALLY?” as Freya did not want to wake the others. Mary looked her up and down and then gave her a smirk and quick nod of her head. Freya just threw her arms up in frustration. Mary then saw something she hadn’t expected: an ASTRID body walked in to continue cleaning up, but this one was fitted with a stereotypical French maid outfit as part of her body. She cleaned and then with Freya’s help set the table for the entire group. So that’s why she was cleaning to help Astrid with everything.

Everything was prepared for when people woke up just as the first rays of sunshine reached the heads of those in bed. People began to stir at the increase in light yawning. Slowly filing in and out of the bathroom. Sam and Allie refused to move for as long as possible though Mary could tell both were in fact awake. “Okay you two, everyone else is already up and changed time to get moving.”

“Fiiine!” Allie groaned. “I don’t get nearly enough cuddles here on the show.”

“Well Allie, you are always welcome to come cuddle with me.” Sam offered, “As long as I can occasionally nibble your ears or pet your tail.”

Mary finally extracted herself from beneath the two and went to get changed, finding that she had to wear the magical girl outfit. What the heck? Oh… I see… I picked this outfit. And I was in the bottom three… So I have to wear it today. Great. Well at least Talia is in the same predicament for our date I hope that doesn’t ruin her plans.

“Why is the mirror uncovered!” Mary exclaimed. “WHO DID THAT!”

“I’m sorry Miss.” Freya came over to put a new cloth over the mirror. “I think ASTRID must have done that while cleaning in here. Since it being covered isn’t typical. I will make sure to instruct her not to remove it in the future.”

“Hey wait up a second.” Laura said to Freya, stopping her from fasting the cover onto the mirror. “Mary, Aubrey shared with some of us what it can do, if one of us wants to use it can we?”

“Uh, sure I guess just let me get on the other side of the room first. I don’t want to look into it while affected by the spring.”

“Wait, what does the mirror do?” Flora inquired a bit nervously.

“I’ll explain,” Mary said. “For those of you who don’t know that mirror is magical. If you stare long enough into it, it will show visions of probable futures for you. The idea is to let you get a subconscious idea of the path you’re on. At least I think that is the point. It doesn’t supposedly have any magical compulsion on it, like making you want the future shown.”

“I can confirm that.” Aubrey interrupted, “Mary we need to talk, Chloe is pretty sure she figured out why I felt weird looking into it. It doesn’t have to be right now though. Please go on.”

“Right… Okay, so you won’t remember the exact details but apparently if there is a strong reaction you can keep some generalities. There is a possible trap I see here but it is mostly harmless but something to think about. If it shows you a future you don’t like, fine that allows for course correction. But the trap is in the futures you do like. It only shows you a few probable futures. What if there is a slightly less likely future that you would like more. So just be careful, okay.”

“I’m sort of curious to see if anything has changed for me.” Sam Said “Mind if I go first Laura?” She gestured to go ahead, and Freya went and removed the cover. Sam only got one vision this time, the one of her walking in the door and being greeted by her kids this time though she was greeted by Mark and Allie as well, glad to see her home.

“Okay that was more intense than before, more crisp too. I don’t know why but I can remember things, a feeling of being home, being loved… kids. It was a lot more distinct than the first time and the other vision went away.”

“I would guess that whatever happened in the closet last night plus officially establishing a relationship with Mary here likely caused a significant shift for you.” Talia mused “Judging by your reaction though you like this future more.”

“I mean it felt good, that’s for sure.”

“Anyone else? Freya asked, holding a cover for the mirror.

The others looked at one another. Most shook their heads, with Laura and Flora being the only ones that did want to look.

Laura went first. She saw herself on the cover of Sports Illustrated, taking pictures with fans, coming home and having great sex with someone in the harem, and it repeated again and again. The vision shifted; she was on the red carpet walking behind Ellen and Allie, with Talia on her arm. They were going to some awards show for a movie that she and Ellen had been in together. Mark was there as a guest with the rest of the Harem, preferring not to be in the spotlight, himself. She still greeted fans and signed autographs but when she went home she would make love to the others. With the occasional orgy thrown in the mix between them all, to spice things up, things didn’t seem repetitive but rather new and different.”

“Woah, weird. Yeah, definitely weird. I see what you meant Aubrey. I can’t really say I got anything like you did Sam.”

“That was my first experience with the mirror, it didn’t really seem to be particularly clear for me.” Sam confirmed.

“Okay good to know. Thanks Sam. Flora you’re up if you still want to.”

“Yeah, I do.” It was clear she was nervous. She stepped in front of the mirror. She lay naked on a nice warm carpet basking in the sun with a collar on. She had a bit more fur covering various parts of her body. When the sun was no longer hitting her she crawled over to the corner where there was a bowl of food and water. She was Mark’s pretty little kitty, his pet. Then it shifted. This vision was far hazier; she could smell fresh air, nature, and the pitter patter of small feet and it was gone.

I did not like that. I did not like that at all.

“Flora. Are you okay?” Laura asked, putting a hand on Flora’s shoulder.

“I think I have work to do because I don’t want that, at all.” Flora shook her head trying to clear her thoughts.

“Any idea what was wrong?” Laura pressed.

“Yes, but I don’t want to share.” To which Laura just nodded. Freya moved to put the sheet back over the mirror but she caught just a momentary glimpse of a future in the mirror as the sheet fluttered down over the large mirror and she fastened the sheet to the mirror.

“Okay everyone, breakfast is on the table, feel free to dig in.” Freya announced as a bunch of trays appeared on the table. After having a hearty breakfast most departed the Master’s suite immediately with the exceptions being Aubrey, Flora, Talia, and Freya.

“Okay I take it the four of you would all like to have a private word with me?” Mary got confirmation from the four. “Okay does anyone care who goes first? No? Okay, then Aubrey, you’re up. If this needs to be particularly private we can have the others wait in the hall.”

“No but it is important. We need to do something about my pregnancy TF.”

“I’m listening, I assume there is a problem with the wording, that you noticed because you wanting my kids doesn’t seem like that big of an issue.”

“Yeah, that desire will just keep growing while I’m not pregnant. Chloe thinks I’ll get to a point that if I’m not pregnant or trying to become pregnant I will probably be unhappy.”

“Shit. Okay yeah that is a problem. Freya, this goes towards the top of the priority list to fix.”

“Certainly, Miss. I don’t have anything at the moment but will look into it.”

“Is there anything else Aubrey?”

“Actually… I was wondering if I could get your advice. About Chloe… So, I love her, but I’m not in love with her right now. I do like her and want to pursue this… but I’m not really sure how. And I feel like I should make the most of the opportunity of being bisexual it isn’t like we know exactly how long that will last, but I worry that I would be moving too fast.”

“Right because you haven’t dated anyone seriously before.” Mary realizing Laura’s truth was messing with Aubrey.

“Exactly, so I wanted your advice.”

Mary sighed, “Okay, well what is your ideal outcome? In your mind.”

“I have your kids, fall in love with and marry both of you.”

“Okay... Then I think you should try to be intimate with her. But not overly so. You definitely shouldn’t do anything below the waist. Don’t go changing your sexuality permanently. Spend time with her today just being with one another, not a date just being with each other as girlfriends not friends.”

“Sure, but I have no clue what that looks like. Not really, just what I’ve read.”

“Aubrey, just let Chloe take the lead okay? She isn’t going to steer you wrong.”

“Right, okay. Thank you.” Aubrey made to leave.

“Aubrey, could you hang around for a second, Freya needs someone to leave with.” She stopped, nodded and waited by the door. “So Freya, what can I do for you?”

“I would like to talk with actual privacy Miss.”

“Fine, could everyone go wait in the hall?” Mary requested gesturing towards the door. The three filed out and closed the door behind them.

“Thank you, Miss. I would like to address what happened last night.”

“Freya, it’s fine.”

“No, it is not fine Miss.”

“Is that why you aren’t using my name this morning?” Mary’s annoyance with the change, clear on her face. “Don’t think I didn’t notice.”

“It was, I apologize, Mary. You didn’t deserve me giving you the cold shoulder simply because I made a stupid decision.”

“Freya, you know you don’t have to worry about being added to my harem, without your consent right?”

“Actually, I don’t agree. There are plenty of ways that could happen. Mary you aren’t one to always think things through, you might not mean to do it but, it could happen. One of your girls could do something, Merida could use her bow today, if you are around Allie today, her scent might make you willing to do it, Chloe certainly didn’t hide her position though I don’t think she would forceable try to add me. Those are just the things on the top of my head. Not to mention that you could simply receive an option in the TF votes, to add me, and the audience could decide that they want me in your harem. It is why I wanted to distance myself. I don’t want the audience’s attention on me. I know it isn’t fair but could we limit contact between one another for now?”

“Okay. I understand. We’ll have plenty of time after the show. Is there anything else I should know of?”

“Much. Astrid has helped produce a list of options for spending your BP this round, we also took the liberty to look at possible things for the ladies to spend theirs on as well. Since I assumed you would like to limit how much you have to spend, next round. Now I would like to end the conversation before you ask something we both end up regretting.”

“Okay.” Mary got up and walked Freya to the door. “Okay Flora I assume you would like actual privacy too?”

“Very much so.”

“Come on in then.” Mary moved to sit on the couch and Flora sat rather far away from her, fidgeting nervously. “Flora, you don’t need to be afraid of me.”

“It’s not that, exactly. Just, I’ve been thinking about what happened with Ellen, and what I felt from the mirror, this morning.”

“Flora, look what you did was a bit reckless and stupid but I’ve done reckless and stupid things too. I shouldn’t have treated you that way for a mistake. I really am sorry.”

“Mary, so far this week I’ve mostly just been regretting what I did. I’m sorry that I didn’t restrain myself. I know you said you’re sorry, but are you really past it? Because right now I feel like you aren’t, that you are holding it against me. If the mirror is any real indication of where we are heading… Then I need to make a major course correction. What I felt was lonelier than I’ve felt in a long time. So, I want to find a way for us to move past this properly.” Flora was **** up, not quite in tears but close. “So, screw what the others say, just punish me, get your frustration out, so we can move on.”

Mary got up and walked over to Flora. Mary cupped Flora’s face in one hand making sure that Flora would look at her. “No. For three reasons. First last night you said that it was a lie that you felt like you deserved to be punished, so what your feeling now is because of that. Second, I promised the others that I wouldn’t and I’m not breaking that promise. Third, You’ve been punishing yourself enough for the both of us, though that is partially my fault as well.”

“Flora, I like you. I liked you back in college too. I want you to realize something that might not have hit home, besides Allie, you are the only person here that I actually asked out. That I actively pursued, before the show. I’m not sure you realize it but do you remember the weeks leading up to me asking you out? Because I do fairly well. I wanted to get to know you more. I didn’t want to ask you out simply because I thought you were attractive. I wanted to get to know you more as a friend first. So I made an active effort to engage in conversations with you, and invited you to lunch with friends, to get coffee between classes. Work on coursework together. I was really disappointed when you turned me down. It sucked more that you also wanted to distance yourself from me, but I understood and respected your choice there. But I want you to understand that I liked the person I got to know back then. Cassandra said that she picked people that I was compatible with Flora, I asked other women out, some were on impulse, some I was friends with and realized I developed feelings for. But you were the first person I put in real effort to get to know because I wanted to ask you out, and didn’t want to risk screwing things up with. So, stop beating yourself about this, please.”

Flora was squirming in pleasure on the couch by the time Mary was done speaking. Leaning into Mary’s hand rubbing her face on it just like a cat would. “Mary, umm, thank you. But could you please stop talking? Your voice is really nice to listen to right now. That does make me feel a bit better though. I still feel bad about it, but maybe that will pass by tomorrow. I think I will still try to do something for Ellen and Aubrey though. I want to do something right now but I think you might get upset if I do. I’d like to kiss you but I don’t want you to think it’s because I’m trying to make this go away by being physical with you. I want to do it because I do like you as a person both this way and as a guy. So, If you’re ok—” Mary kissed her mid-sentence. After a few seconds Mary broke the kiss and smiled at Flora.

+2 VP Kiss Master/Mistress on the Lips

“Thanks, I think I’ll go now. I appreciate you listening.”

“Anytime Flora, anytime.” Mary walked Flora to the door, “Talia, are you thinking you want to spend most of the day together or did you want a quick chat and meet up later after preparing for our date?”

“If you are okay with it I would like to spend the whole day together, but if something comes up, with the others we can always go deal with it.”

“Okay then Flora, Aubrey, Freya I’ll see you later. Talia, would you care to come inside and tell me what the plan is?” Talia entered as the others gave their goodbyes and walked down the hall. Mary then plopped down on the couch again. Talia plopped down right next to her. “Oh, I was wondering, who did you kiss this morning?”

“Oh, Laura. You should have seen her face, when I just walked right up and snogged her. Not that she didn’t like it, mind you, just her surprise was a little amusing. I’m really glad I’ve been roommates with her these last few days. I honestly didn’t think we would get along very well at first, but she’s been great. I really need to apologize to her for some of the things I said and have thought.”

“Well I’m glad to hear that. I am all for any intra-harem bonding. So the plan for the day?”

“Oh? Well for starters I figured you could rip these clothes off me and make me scream for pleasure.”

“Wait, WHAT!? I thought the change last night wasn’t that large. That’s what you said.” Mary expressed real concern that she had screwed up.

“You are so fun to tease. I’m kidding. I meant it when I said I wasn’t jumping right into sex with you. I’m not saying we have to totally wait until you put a ring on my finger and we have said ‘I do’ but, if we aren’t at the point where we are seriously considering that we aren’t doing that. And I’m only actually making that concession because of the nature of the show.”

“That wasn’t funny Talia, I was really worried I screwed up badly.”

“I’m sorry, I won’t tease you about this again. But I will almost certainly tease you more, you are adorable when flustered. Even when you are a guy. Also thank you for being concerned. Okay, the real plan for the day, well it’s sort of up in the air a bit. Things changed last night for us a lot. I thought you would still be a guy and I, well I hadn’t expected to have you change me yet. I’m glad you did though, definitely happier than I was before.”

“I’m glad to hear that. I know you said it last night, but I'm still glad to hear it again.”

“Okay, so maybe you keep your talking to a minimum today. I don’t want to be frustrated during our whole date because of my arousal.”

“Well, I bet I could compliment you and make you orgasm with just my voice, right now. You know if you get too frustrated. Just to relieve the tension” Mary purred seductively.

Talia actually took a moment to consider that. “You’re probably right but, let’s not right now at least. Could be a way to bank a couple points though. Anyway the original plan which I would still like to do, is I’ve been going through some footage of our lives together. Specifically our alternate selves. Looking for things that were generally different, between who we are and who they are, why did they work out but we didn’t. Mostly because I wanted to figure out things for you to change about me, that would make us more compatible, that wouldn’t fundamentally make me a completely different person, just a slight change. But honestly I was curious, and I think it might give you some ideas on what to use the last five words on.”

“How have you been able to do that? Did Cassandra just give you the footage?”

“Actually, yes. I didn’t actually specifically ask for footage, more advice like if she could tell me what she thought the most common change between us and the successful Marks and Talias was. She said I could just look and make that determination for myself. I was actually thinking it might help all of us to take a look at them, she did say I could only have my footage, but I figure you can probably get all of them since they involve you. I’m not saying you should watch them with me, of course but I would be happy to put this new intellect to use, to help analyze them with you if you wanted, but they could be a bit personal, so I would ask we get permission from the individual in question before watching.”

“That is a really good idea. I hadn’t even considered that Cassandra would actually just let us see footage of that. I’m pretty sure that the TF that Merida had me buy for her has helped a lot. I know that I feel closer to her, but even this would be quite useful for everyone. Though I agree, I wouldn’t feel right looking at it without their permission.”

“So, we can look at ours for a while. I asked Cassandra if she would put together a clip show of sorts, showcasing the biggest differences between realities. She agreed and set it up in the Dragon’s Lair Auditorium, should be a few hours of footage. She said we can go whenever, so if you would like to do anything in particular we can. Though I would prefer not to wait until the very end of the date to go, as I would actually like to talk about what we see.”

“Let’s go right now. I’m not in a rush to get it over with or anything, but there has not been a single day here so far where things were calm. I’m hoping that will change but I definitely want to see this with you, and if the others get up to trouble, and I need to deal with it, I don’t want to miss this. It’s a really great idea Talia. So let’s go now.”

Talia chuckled. “It has been an eventful few days. I can hardly believe it’s not even been a week yet as it feels like it’s been a month or more. Alright let’s go.” They got up off the couch. Talia grabbed Mary’s hand and they walked out of the suite to go get a ride to the theater.
