Slumber Jam '14 [For Killcarrion]

The doorbell startled her, but she remembered who it was, right away - Bunny had mentioned her friend would be coming over, and she was more than eager to see Maki firsthand. Any friend of Bunny's had to be equally cool and awesome, and the way Bunny described her, it seemed like the two of them had some things in common. Maybe they could get Death Bunny to start cracking a few smiles.

"No, they're not aliens, silly, they fight aliens. Alien Fighters." She got up and started walking to the door. "See, this alien. Nimbar, he comes down to Earth, and there's this guy named Gorganus, he's an emperor, an evil alien emperor, and he wants to take over the Earth, because it has focal portals or...something...it's never really explained all that well. So Nimbar, he can't fight him, because he's a giant blob and he sucks like that, so he gets these teenagers to fight for him, and he gives them superpower tattoos based on the constellations, so like, Scorpio and Apollo and stuff like that, and they grow big and fight monsters and when they're powers combine, they form Knightron and it's totally cool and you'll love it."

Phew.

She finally made her way the door and opened it, greeting her second guest. "Hey!"

Blossom was sure what she was expecting when she opened that door. Maybe some big, surly woman with hulking muscles and a tattoo of a bloody skull on her right arm with a snake winding through the eye socket and long, braided, dirty blonde hair and leather jacket with torn off sleeves and a confederate flag on the back, and long, dark pants with a black belt that had golden studs and shoes made out of rattlesnake hide, all topped off with gloves. Fingerless gloves.

Or something like that.

Instead, she got a girl about her size with energy to spare. Blossom fell in like with her on sight. She loved the hair. She loved the Hello Kitty shirt - she had one pretty much just like it in her closet somewhere. She loved the hot pants. And the look on her face made Blossom light up to make her. It was like finding a long lost sibling. From Japan!

She hobbled back to the couch and plopped down on the other side, sandwiching Bunny between them. There was plenty of Death Bunny to go around, no need to be greedy. "I know, right? She's always so tight-lipped." Blossom gave her a Death Bunny a pat on the stomach. "How did you two meet? Match?"

There seemed to be a little change in Death Bunny's mood the moment Maki showed up. Granted, Blossom was just looking at the tip-top of what was likely a large glacier of a relationship, but even she could tell there was something unique between the two. There was a strange mood over the scene all of the sudden, and Blossom worried she might be stepping on a land mine.

"Down the hall, to the right! Give the toilet two quick jiggles if you flush, it gets stuck sometimes!" She called out to Bunny as she went to the bathroom, then turned to Maki as she went on, nodding along in agreement. That was Death Bunny to a T. Maki was far more experienced in Bunnyology than the green grappler, but even she could tell that much.

"Yeah, I'd love to know!" Blossom smiled, almost looking like she was trying to beat Maki's for sheer length. "I'd ask her DB, but you know how she can be. She'd probably just scowl and threaten me. Again." She looked off to the side for a moment, then came back as perky as ever.

The more Blossom talked to Maki, the more she enjoyed talking to her - she was a bright, bubbly sort of person with an infectious smile. It was good to have some back-up - Bunny was always a hard nut to crack, but together they stood a good chance. The mere fact that Bunny invited her to join in was a good sign.

"That does sound pretty scary." She popped up and started to hobble her way into the kitchenette, grabbing onto the counter for support as she went. "I remember when I started out. I had some experience, I used to wrestle in high school. But even still...when you're in the ring..." She shook her head. "It's a whole different ballgame. You can watch TV all you want, but nothing is like really being in that ring and going toe-to-toe and head-to-head and, um...breast-to-breast."

Blossom just sat right there, took a load off, and let ol' Maki spoil her rotten. Getting spoiled rotten was something she didn't get much these days, she wasn't going to turn it down, especially by someone who was so delectably cute.

Blossom hid a little blush as Maki thrust her rather impressive bust out and went to work. She'd met plenty of good people since she came to Japan, but so few of them were busting to the brim with energy like this. It was a refreshing change of pace, and she could help but be brightened up like this. The AFW could use a few more Makis. Maybe one or two more Death Bunnies, too, for added flavor.

She nodded and took the cup of tea as Maki came back, sipping away at it to make it last until Death Bunny returned. "Thanks!" She took the compliments and gobbled them right up. A little ego boost never hurt anyone. "She was really tough, I'm surprised I even did as well as I did. And if she was even tougher back then." Blossom whistled, blowing away the steam from the hot tea.

"Hey." She shuffled around, turning to Maki in full. "Did...did Bunny beat you, too? What happened?"
