It's Dangerous to Go Alone. Here, Take Buttercup.

"I'm going with you." It wasn't a question, or a suggestion, or a wish, it was a declaration, and she'd said it with unwavering confidence.

Grimm was stunned. "Umm..." was all he could muster.

Buttercup was still wearing that knowing grin as she crossed toward him. "Okay?"

The bull shook his head. "But... why?"

"Because I want to, silly." She flicked his chest.

"She asked me this morning, before you woke up," Reese interjected.

"Buttercup..." Grimm began, sighing. "I can't. It might be dangerous, and this is your home, and... I should travel alone."

Buttercup's face fell. "I really wanna come with you, Grimm." Her big brown eyes sparkled in the morning sunlight. "Please?"

"Buttercup..." Grimm's voice was soft.

"Let her go with you, Grimm." Tats. She was smiling softly.

"Might be fun," Lennox added, throwing one arm around Tats. "Actually, it would definitely be fun. Maybe a little stressful, too."

"S-she really l-likes you," Daisy said, blushing.

Reese cleared her throat. "If I may interrupt..." A mischievous grin crossed over her face as she looked at Buttercup. Leaning forward a little, letting her glasses slide down her nose, Reese said: "Buttercup, you're fired."

Buttercup's eyes went wide. She looked like she was going to faint. "Wh... what?" She sounded like she was going to cry.

Grimm looked around. The other Raiders looked equally shocked.

"B-but..." Buttercup looked crestfallen.

"Reese, don't do that," Grimm said. "Don't --"

She waved him off. "Sorry, B, but I'm afraid I have to let you go." Reese was still grinning, even as she watched Buttercup wipe away tears with the back of her hand. "But!" She suddenly added. "I will happily hire you back, on two conditions." She counted the conditions with her fingers. "One, you accompany Grimm on his quest and see it to completion. Two, you escort him back to the fort. If you can do these two things, you are welcome to live here." She winked at Grimm.

Buttercup looked up at Grimm. "This is the only home I know," she said, sticking out her upper lip and pouting.

The great bull couldn't believe it. Of all the ways they could manipulate him into doing this...

He sighed, thought for a moment. "Okay," he said, and when he saw Buttercup's smile return he immediately felt justified in his decision. He said it again: "Okay. Buttercup, you can come with me." He extended his hand.

Buttercup took Grimm's hand and shook, hard. "Yeah!" she cheered. "Goin' on a quest! I'm so excited!" She literally jumped for joy.

The other Raiders cheered for their friend. Grimm was surprised: he assumed they would be sad to see her go for a while.

"Take care of her, Grimm," Tats called out, smiling.

"Take care of him, B!" Lennox shouted.

Buttercup rushed over to Tats and Lennox and hugged them, squeezing her compatriots close. She planted kisses on their cheeks, then ran over to Daisy and did the same with her. Finally, she approached Reese, who threw open her arms to welcome her embrace. Reese gave Buttercup a big squeeze.

Grimm could hear Buttercup say "Thank you" into Reese's bosom.

The bandit leader squeezed her "former" underling. "Have fun, B," Reese said, smiling. "Be safe."

"I will," Buttercup said. Reese freed her from her embrace, allowing her to return to her friends and chat with them.

Reese turned to Grimm, wearing a smile that could almost be described as motherly. "Keep her safe, Grimm." She watched her "former" underling. "We all love her very much." She chuckled. "Enough to fire her so she can do what she wants."

Grimm couldn't help but smile. "For a bandit leader you're awfully sentimental."

Reese shrugged. "What can I say? I'm a complicated lady."

On impulse Grimm walked up to Reese and, before she could say anything snarky, took her in his arms. She hugged him back, but didn't pull herself away. Instead, she squeezed him, hard, nuzzling his cheek with hers.

Grimm planted a kiss on Reese's lips. He smiled when he saw her blush. "See you soon," he said, giving her another quick peck.

Reese mouthed something in return, no doubt shocked by the bull's impulsive deed.

Grimm broke the embrace, but did not fully separate himself from Reese. Instead, he reached down, took her massive breasts in his hands, and hefted them up. Reese let out an involuntary moan as Grimm lowered his face to her udders. "And I'll see you soon," he teased, before wrapping his lips around each nipple and sucking. Once he'd finished teasing her he planted a big kiss on her teats.

Reese's face was totally flushed. "Oh, umm..." She looked dazed. The bandit leader shook her head, then cleared her throat. "Umm... th... thank you, Grimm. Have... have fun." Her attempt at dignity was somewhat undermined by her rosy cheeks and silly smile.

Grimm winked at her. Then he picked up his supplies, hefted them over his shoulder, and turned to Buttercup, who was approaching.

"Ready?" he asked.

She nodded, wearing a big smile. "I'm ready."

Reese and her Raiders waved and cheered as the great bull -- and his companion -- roved out into the wilderness.
