When Chasey met Sally.

Sally's cheeks heat up at Pearl's comment, but she turns her nose up and gives a dignified sniff. "Well, I drank it, didn't I? So, there!" she says. Ye gods, even her voice is adorable.

"Oh, you did," Pearl agrees easily. "And then you gave us enough cutesy sound effects for an entire season of a girly Shoujo. Eep! Eep! Eep!"

Sally thrusts out a lip in a petulant pout at Pearl's high-pitched imitation of her, and its accompanying little hops. "Chaseeeey!" she whines, turning to you. "It wasn't like that! Come on, you tell her!"

"I, uh... What?" You stutter. With quite possibly the prettiest girl you've ever personally met putting you on the spot, your brain grinds to a halt in the middle of its vain attempts to process what just happened.

Sally rolls her eyes at your confusion. "Ugh, men. Chasey, I know you like Pearl, but you could back up your girlfriend every once in a while. Besides," she says with a predatory grin as she steps closer, arms wrapping possessively around your waist as she deliberately presses her breasts into your chest. "I make it much more worth your while than her, don't I?" she purrs, and you suck in a breath as she squeezes just a bit tighter on that last word. Your erection, already growing rapidly, pokes her in the belly, and her smile grows sharper. "Thought so," she singsongs, pulling back with a satisfied expression.

Behind her Pearl makes a gagging noise. "Oh God, Jane, cover my eyes, your cousin's doing her thing again."

Jane chuckle, leaning back against a wall. "You should have known what you were getting into when you became friends with Chase. They've literally always been like this."

"We promised we'd fall in love forever when we were eight," Sally says, resting her head against your chest with a contented sigh. You instinctively drape your arm around her shoulders, the position oddly familiar. Woah, where did that come from? "I still remember it like it was yesterday. The summer camp by the lake, I pushed Chase into the water, then I gave him a kiss when he got upset. He was so confused. I don't think he understood what he was getting into when he agreed to the promise."

You blink, very much feeling confused right now. You remember the summer camp with Sully, and you remember him pushing you into the water and then the two of you brawling on the muddy lake bank, laughing, caked with mud, and then promising to be best friends forever. Sully had offered the promise back then, and it seems he still did in this new reality... In a different way. Oh God, what have you done to your best friend?

Behind you, you hear Yu sniffle. "Oh my Gosh, that's so— that's so romantic! Even as kids... You knew!"

Pearl rolls her eyes dramatically. "Or at least one of you knew."

"Oh hush, you're just jealous that I got to him first!" Sally says, disengaging from the hug to stick her tongue out at Pearl.

"Girls, girls, please," you say, deciding you know enough about the situation to step in and diffuse it. If the relationship between Pearl and the new Sally is anything like it was with Sully, you need to get things under control before they start really going at each other. Maybe once that's done you can start using the Juicer Max again and try to fix Sully. "This might be our last evening all together! We came here to have fun, right? So let's just do that, the six of us against the world!"

Your declaration is met by a confused silence. "The... Six? There's only five of us, Chase," Yu points out. You look around, and immediately notice what's wrong: Indy's gone. She'd been introduced to the group because she'd been Sully's girlfriend for years, but now...

"Uh, sorry, the five of us. Brain fart!" You stammer, trying to **** some cheer into your voice. If Indy's gone, then that one little can of soda's really fucked everything up. What else has the butterfly effect gotten to? You need to get back to the Juicer Max right now!

Before you can say anything else though, Jane pipes up. "Chase is right, we didn't come here to stand around moping, we're here to party! Come on Yu, Pearl!" she enthusiastically grabs both of your friends by the hand. "Let's get back on the dance floor! I'll tell the DJ to put something loud on!"

Jane all but drags the two protesting girls behind her, and soon, you're alone with Sally in the Juicer Max's room.

Sally looks at the door the three of them left through. "God, I love my cousin. I'll have to find some way to thank her for this later." She turns back to you, eyes twinkling. "But before then... How about we make use of the space she's just given us? I've been thinking of things we could do aaaall night long. For instance we could play Truth or Dare, or Spin the Bottle..." She licks her lips, and her voice drops to a low throaty purr. "Or you could pin me against that Juicer and pound me like a nail until I'm screaming your name loud enough to drown out their music."
