Akane's Date (Part Two)

“Noooooooooooo!” Jenny wailed as she clung to the door frame of the cafe. Jessica pulled on the screaming woman from outside the shop but it wasn't easy getting great leverage when they were joined at the hip. From inside the shop Gatomon pushed against Jenny's legs but also was not super effective with her small size. “You can't take me away from her! I neeeeed her” she whined. As she maintained her grip on doorway Jenny stared sadly back at the Eevee that was sitting on the table in the cafe. It stared back at her with it's adorable wide eyes as it's tail flicked back and forth happily.

“It's passed closing time and you need to leave” grunted Gatomon as she continued to push at Jenny's legs. “If you want to see my animals again you can come back tomorrow. It's only 100 BP a visit.”

“That doesn't do me any good. I have no BP” Jenny growled.

“You can come back next week after the popularity poll. You'll have more BP then” Jessica informed helpfully.

“As if. Last place doesn't get anything, remember? Like Bruce's rival who has done nothing but rebel all week is going to go over well with the sick freaks who watch this show. If I leave now I'll never get to see my precious VeeVee again.”

“That's not my problem” the talking cat declared. “Just leave already. Do you know what a laughing stock I'll be among the other NPC's if I can't even deal with one unruly customer? What Sally might do to me if I let you steal my Eevee?”

“To quote yourself, that's not my problem” Jenny parroted knocking Gatomon over as she started to make headway back into the shop. Jessica continued to pull but failed to make any headway with the stubborn girl. Rising to her feet Gatomon ran back in front of Jenny panic written on her face.

“Wait, how about this. If you leave now I'll give you a free pass for free entrance into the cafe. That way you can visit again later even if you don't get any BP.”

Jenny halted her forwards progression back into the shop but didn't let Jessica pull her any further back. Looking down at the talking cat she raised a questioning eyebrow. “How good of a pass?”

Gatomon's ears perked up as her eyes lit up with hope. “It doesn't cover food but will gain you full access to the animals in the cafe for a full day. Great deal, right?”

Jenny narrowed her eyes in response. “Only one day? Not good enough because then we'll just be right back where we are now with me losing access to VeeVee. I want a pass for the rest of the show.”

Gatomon's eyes bugged out as her tail stood on end in shock. “Th-the whole show? You have to be kidding me. I'm only allowed to give out one of those. A week. I'll give you one that's good for a week.”

Jenny sighed. “Fine then. I guess we're back to animal napping then” Jenny said as she began to push forward once more. Gatomon jumped in surprise and leapt forward to once again push on Jenny's legs but could only slow the pirate girls advance.

“FINE, FINE. You can have the stupid pass if you just promise to leave right now” Gatomon yelled holding up a card towards Jenny. Jenny immediately stopped and took the card from her paws with a smirk.

“Pleasure doing business with you” Jenny said as she immediately spun around and left the cafe. As the door closed behind her Jessica managed to bark out an apology behind them. “Sucker.” Jenny snickered as they began their journey back to the hotel.

“You mean that whole thing was an act?” Jessica questioned flabbergasted.

“Duh. When you've been banned from as many stores as I have you learn that some places will straight up give you stuff just to avoid an incident. I may be emotional but I'm not dumb enough to so obviously steal from one of that bitches stores. And now I've got unlimited access to seeing VeeVee for my troubles. Looks like I win today” Jenny declared cackling to herself. So caught up in the incident however neither woman noticed that Jenny's bust had slightly increased from her act.

“MY EYES” Alex screamed upon entering the princess suite. Covering her eyes with her hands Alex tried to wrap her head around the **** of pink that had just overwhelmed her senses. “What's with your room? I think this room contains more pink than I've seen in the rest of my life combined.”

Luanne chuckled nervously. “It is a bit much isn't it? Although you do get used to it surprisingly quickly.”

“Yeah, can't really see that happening. The decor is terrible no offense. I know it's all of you but that doesn't make it any less gaudy. Plus there's the fact that the ceiling is a stained glass window of you making out with Bruce. Oh well. Just googling Tifa gets you worse stuff than this shoved in your face whether you want it or not.”

Alex's statement set off a reaction in Luanne that made her feel sick. “Oh crap, you're right. I now share the appearance of one of the most rule 34'd characters on the internet.” Luanne's face began to turn red with embarrassment as everything sank in. “Porn of me was played at a major political conference!” Luanne shrieked. Her mental delve into the ramifications of their new appearances was cut short by the sudden appearance of the ultimate maid.

“Welcome back Princess” stated Kirumi calmly as she appeared before them in a curtsy.

“Aaaaa” screamed Alex shocked by the sudden appearance. “Don't do that. You scared the crap out of me.”

Kirumi turned to look at Alex with a blank expression for a second before turning back towards Luanne. “Did you have a fun day ice skating Princess?” Kirumi asked completely ignoring Alex.

“Hey! Don't just ignore me” Alex screamed at her. Kirumi didn't even bother turning to face her this time.

“Um, not really. Kind of hard to skate without skates. Actually it's been kind of a long day and we were kind of hoping to just head straight to bed if that's alright with you. No need for a massage tonight.”

Kirumi's eyes narrowed at Luanne as she finished her sentence. “My apologies Princess but that is most certainly not alright. I am willing to skip your massage if you are feeling tired but I would be remiss in my duties if I let you go to bed without bathing after a day full of physical activity.”

Luanne sighed in resignation as Alex's face turned red with anger. “Look here, we've had a miserable day and you'll have to excuse me if after the day I've had I refuse to strip down naked and share a bath with someone I barely know. So we are going to bed and there isn't anything you can do about it” Alex screamed finishing her tirade. Intent to drag Luanne to the bed if she had to Alex raised her foot to begin stomping her way to bed. To her great shock however she found her feet instead leading her to the bathroom. “What's happening?” Alex questioned in shock.

As they entered the bathroom with Kirumi following behind them Luanne sighed once more. “It's no use fighting her. She's apparently been given the ability to magically enforce her duties so you may as well give up” she explained as she raised her arms so that Kirumi could take her shirt off of her.

“WHAT? And here I was thinking you were the lucky one getting a maid but if that's how it is I'll take my room over yours any da-eeek” Alex's sentence was cut off as she felt her dress pulled off of her quickly. Before she could fully comprehend what had happened both girls were naked and Kirumi was filling the bathtub.

“Due to the circumstances I shall permit you to share a bath with Princess but I regret to inform you that I will only be washing Princess. You will have to take care of yourself” the maid stated stoically. Alex could only sputter nonsense at the sheer gall of this maid as she found herself climbing into the bathtub next to Luanne.

Candy stared at the ceiling as she lay awake on top of the bed made of Mario blocks. Even I can recognize these. You wouldn't think a bed made out of blocks would be comfy but this isn't bad. Almost makes up for my crappy day trapped in a ball pit from hell. Oh wait, no it doesn't. I spend half a day solving a stupid maze made out of an outdated child's play place only to find out that I got completely outdone by a small child. Candy let out a small sigh. This is stupid. Don't let her get to you. For all you know Sally made that whole story up. Gwen's got the right idea. I should just ignore Sally and get some sleep. Candy closed her eyes and snuggled her head into her pillow. As sleep finally started to overtake her one last thought permeated her brain. _I can't help feeling like I'm forgetting something though. Oh well. That's later Candy's problem.- - - - - -

Nana leaned back in her receptionist chair with her with her large robot feet propped up on the counter. Her face was scrunched up in concentration as she rapidly pressed the buttons on the PSP she held in her hands. She was so lost in concentration that the ding of the elevator behind her counter caught her completely by surprise. Odd. Who's still up at this hour of the night? Leaning around the small wall behind her desk to see the elevator Nana was greeted by the amusing sight of an obviously drunk Sylvia stepping out of the elevator carrying a terrified looking Daisy in her arms. Well now isn't this an amusing development.

“Really Sylvia. This isn't necessary. I can walk fine so you can put me down now.”

“Oh no no no, I -hic- couldn't do that” Sylvia slurred with a wide smile. “If I put you down now you -hic- would run away.”

“Sylvia, think it through. I literally can't run away. My hand is currently fused to yours.”

“Exactly!” Sylvia loudly responded. “If I let you -hic- run away now you'll take my hand with you. Why -hic- do you want to steal my hand Daisy?”

“I don't..”

“Excuse me.” Sylvia paused her wobbled walk towards the hall leading to their room and both girls turned their heads to face the receptionist that had spoken up. “So sorry to interrupt but I couldn't help but be curious what is going on here?”

“Oh that's an easy one” Sylvia responded back. “I'm -hic- taking the princess here back to our room for punishment.” Leaning closer in Nana's direction Sylvia began to whisper conspiratorially. “She **** me” Sylvia whispered and then proceeded to break into a fit of giggles as if that was a hilarious joke.

“Oh did she now?” Nana said her smile growing bigger as she looked over at Daisy who stared back at her with eyes begging for help. Round one and already drugging the others? Someone has some real potential at playing the game. “What kind of **** did she get you with?”

“Truth potion” Daisy responded for the drunk girl. “Completely harmless and temporary” she said trying to emphasize this to Sylvia but the drunk girl paid her no mind.

“Ah, I believe I know the very item. How naughty of her. She definitely deserves punishment” Nana said with a ever growing smile. Suddenly her smile fell and she put on a face of such sadness that it almost looked genuine. “Oh, but at this rate her punishment will never come to pass.”

Looking extremely worried by her statement Sylvia rushed over to the counter. “What, why not? What do you mean?”

Looking at Sylvia with as much fake sympathy as she could muster Nana suppressed her smile as she explained. “It's just that you were put into the 2D room. In your current state the two of you will never be able to make the jumps required to reach your room. Which means you won't be able to carry out her punishment.”

“Oh no. That's horrible” Sylvia said as if she had just been told truly terrible news. Daisy meanwhile looked extremely relieved. “What can we do about this?”

Nana began fake concentrating as she pretended to try to come up with a solution to Sylvia's problem. Face lighting up in “realization” Nana put her plan into action. “I know. I have control over the hotel and everything in it. I could teleport you to your room. Only there is one problem.”

“What? What is it?” Sylvia questioned hanging on Nana's every word.

“I can't just help you out for free. You need to do something for me so I can help you.”

“Oh, well that makes sense.”

“No, no it doesn't” Daisy interrupted not liking where this was going.

“Hush you” Sylvia admonished. “What can I do to get you to help us out?”

“Well what did you have in mind for her punishment?” Nana asked.

“Hadn't really worked it out yet. Was going to impro-improv-make it up” Sylvia slurred.

“In that case I have an idea” Nana started as her smile returned to her face. “If you punish her here and make an entertaining show of it for me I could consider that payment and help you out. And since she's been acting like a naughty child...”

“I'm nineteen” Daisy interrupted.

“...I figured we should punish her like one. A good spanking should teach her a lesson. The truth potion lasts 24 hours so how about one smack for each hour?”

The color drained from Daisy's face while Sylvia's lit up like a child at Christmas. “That's a wonderful/terrible idea” the two shouted at once. Ignoring Daisy's protests Sylvia stumbled her way over to a bench and plopped down on it. Flipping Daisy over in her lap Sylvia pulled Daisy's skirt up and over her head.

“Wait Sylvia, let's talk about this. You don't have to” SMACK “EEK.” The heavy smack of Sylvia's hand meeting Daisy's butt echoed throughout the lobby.

“That's one” Sylvia declared happily. Daisy's was now writhing as she used all of her strength trying to escape but Sylvia was too strong for her. SMACK. “Two down.” SMACK SMACK SMACK. Sylvia continued to count happily over Daisy's protests. All the while Nana watched happily now eating from a bowl of popcorn she pulled from somewhere. “Sixteen. Seventeen. Uh, eighteen?” Sylvia paused as the fog of her drunken mind made counting harder and harder. “Uh, where was I again?” she asked looking up at Nana.

“NINETEEN! NINETEEN!” Daisy shouted desperately.

Nana's smile grew wider as she pretended to think. “Um, I believe you had just counted to six.”

Sylvia smiled happy to have found her place again. “That's right. Alright here comes number seven.” SMACK

Nana leaned back in her chair watching the fun show before her. _This has turned out to be quite the fun night.- - - - - -

Akane was in heaven. After eating Bruce had led her down a long hallway in his suite to a room he promised she would love. And boy was he right. He had opened up the door to a massive arcade that put the one she had visited with Nikki to utter shame. Before shutting herself up in her room Akane had loved visiting the arcade so having one to just herself and her friend was a dream come true for her. They had spent several hours going from machine to machine battling it out. While Bruce had won some games she had naturally dominated at all the fighting games they had played. Now Bruce was taking a break claiming he was tired as she did her best at a D.D.R. machine.

This is a blast. I can't remember the last time I had this much fun. And it looks like I was worried over nothing. Bruce has been a perfect gentleman all evening. Taking a glance at him from the corner of her eye she saw him leaning up against a motorcycle for a racing game. He was intently watching her do her best trying to get on the scoreboard for the machine. For some reason the same three names dominated the high scores on all of the machines and they were all astronomically high making it super hard to even get on the leader board much less take first. Taking another glance at him Akane noticed something odd though. Odd. He isn't watching my score. He's just watching me. As I dance..and jump around...eep. Akane froze and her hand flew down pushing down her skirt as realization dawned on her.

He wasn't watching my score, he was looking up my skirt. I let my guard down. The song came to an end as she just stood there staring at Bruce not daring to move. He merely stared back at her with a smirk on his face not at all embarrassed at having been caught.

“Well, are you done dancing?” he asked in a seemingly innocent voice.

Of course I'm done she screamed in her head. Taking a calming breath Akane managed to calm down enough to not flee the room. Calm down. It's not Bruce's fault. He doesn't believe any of this is real. Let's just try to pretend it didn't happen and go back to having fun. “Yeah, I think I'm done with the dancing for now” she managed to say with a shaky voice. “How about we give some Soulcalibur a try?” Bruce agreed and they found a cabinet for the game. And if Akane's attacks were more vicious than usual in this match Bruce didn't seem to notice.
