Slumber Jam '14 [For Killcarrion]

Blossom wasn't the fastest car on the freeway - it took her a moment to really register that last part. But when it hit - oh, did it hit.

Her eyes widened as she looked Maki over. Maybe she shouldn't judge, since the two of them were about the same size and Blossom had given her quite a fight, too. But actually beating Death Bunny? And when Maki was only on her second match? Impressive. Very impressive.

"Wow, you won?" She smiled and gave her a shake on the shoulder. "That's amazing! How did you ever pull that off?"

Ooo, gossip. Blossom loved her some gossip.

She listened with wide eyes and perked ears, fully rapt attention. She'd been curious about Death Bunny's origins - so curious that she tried looking it up on the net. But Google wasn't helpful, and Bing was even less helpful than that. She even tried AskJeeves! No luck. Getting this little glimpse was more than helpful. And more than a little funny, too, so much that she burst into a giggle fit at the spot-on impression.

And that fit came to an abrupt end when she saw the shadow looming over them like the angel of fluffy death. She reached over quick and straightened out Maki's ribbons, hopefully doing it fast enough to spare them from the wrath.

She flopped back, looking up to Death Bunny. "Hey! Did you find the bathroom okay?"

"Night of the Lepus!" Blossom shot her fist up in the air in triumph, glad they were going to have their little MST3K session. In fact, they filled out the trio very nicely - Bunny would make a great Mike, she was Tom Servo, and Maki would be Crow. They could even get their own theme music, start doing audio tracks, maybe get a site...

Whoa. Stop. Focus.

She got back to reality as Bunny came back over, taking a seat between them. She didn't like being deceptive, but if that was the price she had to pay to keep blood from being shed, she was okay with it. Just not something she'd make a habit of. "We were just talking about wrestling in general, you know! Remember our first match?"

"Yeah, things started out pretty rough." She snuggled up with Bunny and dared to lay her head on the bearer of the bear coffin. "But then we got to know each other, and now we're making fast friends! And we have Maki now, too! And Jackpot! Soon, AFW will be ours!"

She raised her hand in a moment of triumph. Then lowered it. And coughed.

"Ahem. Anyway. No, I'm not mad or anything." She gave Bunny a slug in the shoulder."But I'm going to even the score when over this caste comes off. Gonna go back to training camp and pick up some news moves. I'll debut my new move on you - the Field of Pain! Or the Pain Blossom. Whichever sounds cooler."

After a few tense moment, Maki won her desperate fight with the remote control and wrestled the DVD player into submission, forcing it to whir to life and start to play the movie with a sharp whine, booting up. That was one fierce battle won - now Blossom had to fight a battle of wills.

She took a few napkins and helped dry up Bunny's thigh, sighing as she got chewed out - and rightfully so. Aside from just being a klutz - and she couldn't blame it on the cast, as much as she'd like to - Bunny was completely right about her dismal record. Heck, she was more right than she even knew, since it would be 1-5 if you counted the unofficial bout she'd had, which Blossom did, of course. And the fight against Jamie couldn't even really be called a fight. Kind of like beating up a little kid on the playground. A really annoying little kid that probably had it coming, but still. Nothing to be proud of.

But those days were behind her. She was going to improve. It wouldn't be easy, sure, but the Blossom that returned to AFW wouldn't be the same one that left.

She looked up at Bunny with a serious face, the best one she could manage. Focused eyes. Maybe imitating Bunny herself, a bit. "Tell me what I have to do."
