Week 3 Misty's Date: Afternoon.

Though Anna had been tempted by Tracy's words she walked her bike down the long hall instead of riding it. Just because she'd be fine if she wrecked didn't mean her bike would be, and while the servants had done an excellent job on resizing her baby to fit her now seven foot frame she wasn't sure how much she trusted them to repairs. For all she knew any magic would fade with the show leaving her a mangled wreck. And if she actually hit someone being reckless driving in the castle she'd die of shame.

No, better to walk no matter how much she was jonzing to ride again.

Appearing on the Moongate by the dinning hall still holding her bike she let out the breath she'd been holding. "Oh good. Was half sure I wouldn't be able to take it with me." She supposed she could have just gone back and carried her bike, she was more than strong enough to lift it now, but that would have looked silly.

Past the big double doors, out on the stone path, Anna sat across her bike and gunned the engine to life. She smiled ear to ear listening to her baby purr and broke out into full throated laughter revving the motor and hearing it echo back off of the stone walls behind her.

Taking it nice and slow she rode down the path, still quickly coming up on the circle of chairs even at this pace. Still laughing she circled them a few times, speeding up as she did so some, but nothing too dangerous.

The path down to the lake was much longer than the one from the castle to the circle of chairs, she thought, and the trap hadn't hit until they'd gotten to the pagoda so should be safe so long as she stuck to it, she hoped. "Fuck it." She said, turning down hill. "I need some wind in my hair." Normally she tied her hair back before ridding, and knew she'd have a hell of a time combing the snarls out afterwards this time, but she was living in the moment and would deal with that later. At least she didn't need to wear her helmet for once, not that it had been with the bike, having the bracelet's protection.

Anna's long black hair streamed behind her as she roared down hill towards the lake. She quickly passed the offshoot towards the pagoda and continued down the smooth stone path beginning to wonder if it ran straight into the 'pond' as Shar called it. But no, gradually the path curved to the left sweeping past the shore by a narrow margin. Slowing Anna brought her bike to a stop along the small lake.

She stepped off and left her bike standing to walk down by the water. The warm wind whipped the surface into small waves and she took a deep breath of the clean air. Lifting one hand to wind tangled hair she laughed again. "Totally worth it."

"Perhaps this would help?"

Anna whipped around to see that the blue haired woman was standing beside her, a comb in her outstretched pale blue hand. "Ah. Oh, Nimue. I didn't expect anyone to be out here." She took a closer look at the comb as she took it from the other woman. It looked like it was made from a large seashell, a glittering white with a rainbow of colors beneath the surface.

"Your machine was quite loud. I suppose I shouldn't try to catch up on my sleep while you are active."

Anna looked up from the comb, startled. "You were sleeping? Oh the lake, shit. Sorry about that."

Nimue smiled, showing Anna perfect white teeth. "Don't be sorry dear, I'm the one staying awake far longer than I should and trying to make up for it in the middle of the day." She looked up at the starry sky. "Well as much day as it gets here." The blue skinned woman's musical laughter pealed across the lake and Anna joined in.

Without thinking Anna raised the comb and ran it through her hair, where it parted the snarls like... "Magic? You handed me a magic comb?"

Nimue laughed again. "You have no idea how tangled one's hair can get underwater dear." Anna looked at other woman's long flowing blue locks and raised a brow. "Lately I cheat." Nimue winked at the tall golden eyed woman and they laughed again. Anna tried to hand the comb back, knowing her hair would get snarled again on the way back but Nimue closed her hand about it. "No dear, you keep it." So saying she walked out over the surface of the lake while Anna watched stunned then suddenly dropped below with barely a ripple.

Anna shook her head after watching the blue skinned woman depart. "This place is just too weird." Putting the comb in a jacket pocket, she walked back to her bike.

Starting her bike back up she turned it around on the path to head back to the castle. Let the watery woman sleep in peace, she thought. She was more than glad to have her around if it meant their host being in a good mood, as the much nicer weather seemed to indicate.

And Shar being in a good mood was good for Laura. And their baby.

.

"Is it just me or did that seem very much like one of your dungeons and demons game?" Laura asked Tracy as the credits rolled on the final episode.

Tracy nodded. "Yep, small party of adventurers against impossible odds. They even gamed it up some from the books."

"That's because they were made for a role playing game and based the books on that lore, and the manga was better."

Tracy stuck her tongue out at Misty. "I was getting to that, and no they aren't."

Misty sat up, pulling free of Gabriella's arms. "The manga has some fantastic art, and a very good English version."

"I liked the elf." Evelyn said in a quiet voice.

Laura was more than glad the green haired woman had interrupted yet another argument between Tracy and Misty, and leaned forward to hug her when the two looked at her after her quiet statement. "Yes, the elf was very good." She resolved to not watch more anime with both women present.

"There's a whole manga of Deedlit's backstory." Misty told her, as if that settled which was better.

Tracy just shook her head and settled back into Penny's plush breasts. She knew which was better, but could tell Laura didn't want to hear it. "Well what about the quest for dinner?"

That got general laughter. Laura looked to the green haired woman she held in her lap. "Well what do you think Evelyn?"

"Um, me? I don't know. The pizza was very interesting."

Laura was glad to see the elven woman was looking more relaxed, might have even nodded off during the show if it hadn't been so loud, or crowded. She should have remembered she didn't have a lot of experience with things though, but didn't regret trying to make her feel more involved. "Misty?"

The plush ravenette laughed and leaned back to hug the woman who's lap she sat in, Gabriella gave her a smile in return. "Best get something to fuel us for the after dinner party if we're going to keep up with you from the looks of Candy this morning."

Laura blushed. She may have gotten a little carried away with Candy, though the blonde seemed to love every minute of it.

"Not a lot of carbs though, don't want anything heavy." Tracy said, patting her belly. "Hey we can order anything right? Lets go hog on some prime rib and lobster!" Laura's eyes lit up at the idea.

Scooting out from under Misty, Gabriella stood and nodded at Laura. "I'll order enough for everyone, and make sure there is plenty of wine as well."

Tracy shook her head at the departing Spanish woman's back. "I know she promised to keep wearing the dresses, but does she have to keep playing maid like that?"

Laura just shrugged. "We'll get the dress off of her soon enough." Misty said with grim determination, then turned to the others looking suddenly shy. "If that's what you want Laura."

"Actual hand to hand combat and not just massages?" Penny asked earnestly, breaking the tension and Laura laughed.

"You two can certainly start with a massage, I quite enjoyed that last time."

"Fine, but we better be included in the sex this time." Tracy stated with a wink. "Misty promised."

"I'm fucking ready!" Penny declared to more laughter.
