Renovations and Rules

First thing first, figuring out how to live together.

Well actually, for Kendra it was to shower and dress. Jenny only needed a light buffing which she gave herself. So Kendra has the bathroom to herself. It was surprisingly large but that was due to having two of most facilities. Normal shower, toilet, and bathing tub/pool but the tub was next to another tub, separated by a few inches. She could see a few specks of black liquid left in the second tub so that must be the oil bath Jenny talked about. Along with that seemed to be a human sized car wash stand, so that was to be Jenny’s ‘shower’. Also no toilet but there seemed to be a recharge stand of some kind.

Stripping down, she gave herself a look over. Just like the mirror showed, her body was changed. Kendra has no reason to think Jenny would fool her about it but it was something to inspect it. The main draw was her flawless skin; no blemish, no hair, no moles, nothing. That and her paler skin was just a tad odd. Given her life, Kendra wasn’t out in the sun much but this was maybe getting to the point of worry.

“Maybe have a doctor look me over.” She thought as she started up the shower.This was also something she needed. The warm water over her skin, normally soothing her muscles was more for her spirit and nerves. Nerves that were once again frayed when she heard what sounded like a buzz saw.

“Jenny!!!” She cries peaking her head out of the bathroom door after a mad dash to it, “The hell are you doing?”

“Remodeling!” Came the reply.

“You know what?”, she started after trying to crane her neck for a better look without opening the door more, “I’m going to have word with you AFTER my shower.” With that she slammed the door and went back to it. Whatever Jenny was doing, it could wait. Jenny was impulsive but she wasn’t destructive on purpose.

“But why.”

“Do you have money? Enough to buy new ones? I don’t.”

“But Why?!?”

“Look I’m not sleeping on the couch and figured you didn’t want to either. We both win here.”

“But WHY did you saw the bed in HALF?!?!?” Kendra cried.

Dressed in a long skirt and blouse, Kendra came back into the bedroom to see what was the noise was about. And to her surprise, Jenny had been hard at work. It just bothered her that said work had been taking a large buzz saw to the bed.

Now rather than a canopy bed, they had a set of twins. Jenny hadn’t been completely stupid in her work though. When Kendra came in, on of her hands was busy fixing the beds and the other has morphed into a large vacuum to suck up the debris. She’d even taken off the sheets and pillows before doing so and had repaired the mattresses and frames. On the side that had been sawed off was a heavy sheet of plastic and a supporting frame of the same material. It was a tad ramshackle but the end result was two beds pushed up against a plastic separating island/wall.

Kendra cupped her hands together and took a deep breath. Mustn’t get her dander up again, she’d already gotten her vice for the day. Take it slow and explain. It should go smoothly.

"Jennifier. Look. I'm upset you didn't even bother to ask me. Was it the correct choice, maybe." Kendra started, taking a seat on one of the mattresses, "But I would have liked to have talked it over rather than randomly doing it. You're right, I didn't want the couch while we're stuck like this but maybe there was a better way..., wait...." Kendra paused for just a moment, replaying what was just said. "You don't have money?"

"You do, I don't. Mom usually kept my finances. I had maybe a couple hundred in my room but who knows where that got to. Have to try and find it." Jenny said, looking both annoyed about something and down about her money issue.

"Wait, WHY do you know about my money..., DID YOU CHECK MY ACCOUNT?!? JENNIFER!!!" Kendra shriekd, her dander starting to come back again as she shot up to stand.

Jenny growled a bit and poked at Kendra's upper chest, right below the neck and right above her breast-line. "FIRST RULE, My name is JENNY. Only mom gets to call me Jennifer, anyone else got their cans kicked. Got it?!?"

It was the human's turn to roll her eyes. "Jennifer..." a glare answered her, "Okay... Jenny. I am not the enemy here. So while I will respect calling you Jenny, can you respect giving me some privacy! I mean if this was some sort of evil plan or something I would think there would be an easier way to go about doing this!" with a sigh she sat back down and continued, "If you want to know more about me, just... just ask. That said..., how much money do I have and how much did you find out about me?"

Jenny didn't answer for awhile before sighing herself and folding her arms in front of her. "Okay... maybe I'm a tad paranoid..., I'm sorry about that."

Kendra noted how dry the apology sounded but at least the girl was willing to say it at least. Better to not press that right now as Jenny explained her findings. Kendra's money was intact but also converted. Probably Cupid's Wish's doing. This world was using credits and Kendra's balance showed up as the same. The land was registered to them or at least someone who let the two live on the land, again Cupid's doing no doubt, so rent wasn't a worry. Bills and groceries would be, but based on Jenny's findings, Kendra had enough to pay off several months if she just sat on it.

"No rent already makes this better than what I had." Kendra muttered before asking about Jenny's snooping in her personal life.

"Look when I accessed the house's net work I got everything on it too, including your files. I did a quick check of everything to make sure you were.... real and human. Hey don't gimme that look, do you know how many times someone's tried to impersonate around me?" Jenny quipped, folding her arms, "But I left your more... private stuff alone. Like I looked at some of your recent family photos but nothing deeper."

"Well... I am thankful you didn't do a full in depth dive."

"Should I have?" Jenny asked, wagging her eyebrows.

"...., should I ignore what you could possibly mean by that." Kendra sighed. While in an adult body, for what that was worth given she's a robot, Jenny still seemed to have some teenage tendencies. Honeslty though it was hard to tell her mental age like this. Something to ask about later.

"Alright so I don't call you Jennifer, you don't snoop my files and I won't look at yours either...., what else. Oh..., bathroom is private time. I don't want to be bathing when you come in to do so either or remodel yourself." Kendra continued.

"That I can do. Forget the privacy, the danger of the devices around you or the hot oil could end badly."

"I hadn't even thought of that." Kendra muttered. She'd just wanted to not be around each other naked. "Anyway, next while we're trying to get back home, I suggest....., Not getting close to anyone here. We can shop and explore a bit but hopefully we won't be here too long."

Another eye roll. "Getting a little protective are we? I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself." Jenny quipped back.

"Just... don't go overboard is all I'm asking."

"Yes, MOM. Geeze." Jenny answered.

"For the love of.....," Kendra stood up with another sigh, hand held to her temple. This was going to be a very rough... week, month, year? God who knows how long they'd be stuck like this. Anyway she wanted to have a look at everything herself to make sure all her data, works, and other files where safe. And to maybe encrypt a few of them. It would be really hard to explain the Lewds she’d done of Jenny if the woman found them. Not many but that would probably set her off. Though one other question came to mind right now.

“We'll discuss more rules or at least agreements around dinner. But as you looked at my files and data, where were they?” Kendra asked, turning to look at Jenny.

“There’s an art studio on the second floor, with a computer and laptop. I assumed one of them was yours.” came the answer. Kendra nodded and thanked Jenny as she turned to walk out the room. Just as her hand reached the doorknob, Jenny spoke up once more.

“By the way, your ‘gift’ is in there too.”

“Gift?” Kendra turned around to ask.

“It’s some large black present box. You can’t miss it. Guessing it’s the ‘marriage gift’ from Cupid.i tried scanning it but the box repelled any attempt. I don’t think it dangerous though. Nothing in the house seems to be a threat, not beyond normal house hold dangers.” Jenny went on to explain.

“Well thanks. I’ll check it out after looking over my own records first." with a wave, Kendra was off. Though first she was going to pick up one of her cats as they were near by. She needed a fuzzy hug right now.

((EDIT)) I have more ideas with this on the Mechanic Bachelorette path so check that out. I'll leave this here if the writing bug gets me to continue here or let someone else try
