Change Places!

Violate crossed her legs daintily and blew on the small tea cup she held in her hand as steam gently wafted off of it. She looked across the table at her new found host and smiled politely as she looked the girl over. She had sent a text message asking if she could come over and now here they were, enjoying each others company. The gardener had brought a rather ornate looking suitcase with her and had made herself at home. It had contained everything she needed to make the perfect kettle of tea and was one of her favorite possessions, if not for convenience sake alone, though the novelty was also something she enjoyed.

"Fufu, I was surprised when you invited me over." She said, knowing she had been the one to initiate contact. "I was beginning to think you only appreciated our friendship because it happened more as a matter of happenstance than of course, fufu." Violate teased and took a sip from her cup. It was perfect.

"Oh, I do understand that it must be hard to entertain guests, though, what with having a girlfriend and all. I hope I haven't driven her away. I would have loved to meet her as well." Violate said, though she had made sure that Bonnie's girlfriend would not be available when she completed the arrangements.

Bonnie happily welcomed her friend into her humble little apartment for the first time. The place was neatly kept, decorated with photos of the two lovers happily holding each other and enjoying themselves, showing a better time before recent events. On that same table where Bonnie sat across, she had a picture of her younger brother by five minutes, grinning for the camera in a restaurant, holding the 24/7 Title, surrounded by friends long gone. Along with a photo her mother from back home in Liberty, a blonde haired woman with eyes as blue as Bonnie's, smiling as she sat in front of a birthday cake with forty candles while her two Children hugged her from the sides.

Across the table on a small reclining chair, Bonnie sat with her ankle draped over her knee, sipping on the delicious tea that her friend made, wearing a very large Jason Witten Cowboys jersey that acted like a nightgown. She didn't see the need to dress up, Bonnie was casual and her friend Violate was such a nice lady, Bonnie trusted her and they were already well acquitted, no need to get dressed up. That and she was a little hung over from her night out with Jess.

"Well..." Bonnie began. "Maybe that's how it started but I certainly do love yer company Ms. Vi! And hangin' with you always seems to be quite the hoot!" Bonnie beamed with a smile, though Vi's question did confuse her a little.

"Huh? Well It ain't hard at all really, but we don't get many guests aside from my brother. I actually dont know where the heck my girl even is..." Bonnie said with a worried sigh, hoping her babe wasn't getting into any trouble. "I certainly woulda loved havin' you meet her, she ain't too partial on tea but I think she'd love this! She has good taste drinks, or so she claims." Bonnie said with a wide smile, recalling how she often called her choice in beers to be piss water.

"Fufufu, my sentiments exactly."

Violate chuckled to herself as she raised her cup and smiled at Bonnie. The blonde certainly was a hoot. Violate frowned suddenly, though, at Bonnie's words. "Oh, you've lost your girlfriend, how terrible!" She said, pressing her gloved hand against her chest. "You really should be mindful of where you place a human being! Fufufu." She chuckled to herself as she continued teasing Bonnie.

Violate looked around. "It really is a charming abode, you've got here." She said, trying to make some casual conversation. "Your taste for kitsch is really quite... unique... Have you thought about getting a plant or two?" She asked, adjusting the tilt on her top hat ever so slightly.

"Ah heh..." Bonnie chucked lightly along with Vi while taking her sip of her tea, her eyes averting away from the girl as she asked herself why she didn't keep tabs on where her girl was going. But Bonnie knew that was just their relationship, they trusted eachother and let the other roam about as they pleased. They always came home to eachother no matter what. Still, the last time Bonnie didn't keep tabs on Duffy, she was brutalized by Allison. Life at the house had been quiet ever since.

"Thank ya!" Bonnie chirped as her place was complimented. She was the one who kept it tidy afterall. A bit of a hobby since her career had hit this depressing slump.

"Kit...Wah?" She questioned for a moment before discarding it. "Actually yes! I have been considering a plant, I... " Suddenly, Bonnie's phone started going off. She went to look and see who it was and discovered that it was her younger twin.

"Uh... Please excuse me a second, Vi." She said before answering the call "Ya?"

"Bonnie. Wassup? You busy? Im in Tokyo right now and not too far away, thought 'bout vistin'." Said the cowboy without a hat. "I uh... I saw what happened ta' Duff." He paused, frowning bitterly in the back of the cab. "I got 'er a gift." He felt pathetic saying that.

Bonnie began to tear up, but she quickly wiped her eyes. "Well thank you, Clyde. Duffy is out at the moment and I've got company right now, but you can still come over and drop yer thing off." Bonnie said before looking over at Vi, pursing her lips as she thought about it for a moment. "Are you dressed nicely?" She whispered.

"Yup." Said Clyde as he looked down at his suit and tie he had on.

"Ok... Ya go 'head and come on." Said Bonnie before canceling the call. Looking at her screen however, she saw that she had a message from an unknown number, containing what appeared to be a video. She told herself to check it out in a second.

"Sorry 'bout that, Vi. That was my brother, Clyde from Tension Pro, dunno if you know em' or anythin' but he's gonna stop by real quick, hope that ain't a problem, he lives 'bout three hours away in Kyoto so his visits ain't as often as they used to be. Hope that ain't a problem?" Bonnie asked with a sweet, polite voice.

"Also, Do you like... Uh..." Bonnie stopped herself, thinking about Mercy and Clyde. She wanted to be a good sister after all but wondered if that meant not to butt in all the time. "...W-Wrasslin?" She finally finished.

Violate bounced her ankle as Bonnie took the phone call. Her ear twitched as she sipped her tea, but she was definitely listening in. The sip from her cup was there to hide her terribly rueful grin.

Once Bonnie hung up, Violate nodded. "Oh, it's fine. It's so nice that you have family even out here." She said and tilted her head in thought, pressing a gloved finger to her lips. "Oh, maybe I have heard of him from somewhere. Did you happen to mention him before? Fufu..."

She then looked at Bonnie. "Wrasslin?" She said and smiled. "How very dialectal, fufu." She mused. "I've had an encounter or two with it, I suppose." She said and let her head tilt back and forth. "But, haven't we all? Don't we all spend our days wrestling with something or other? Tell me, if we wrestle with the very nature of our existence, what happens when we win? Fufu." She then frowned. "Or, if we lose, oh my!"

"Yeah it is... I love havin' my brother around. He, My girl, my friend Kagami and my Ma are really all I got." Bonnie said with a happy sigh, feeling blessed to have her family. "I might have mentioned Clyde, or not... Can't recall. That's his photo on the table, and the other is my Ma." One picture showed Clyde with the 24/7 title. The other showed the twins, standing with their mom in front of a birthday cake. A blonde haired woman in her mid forties.

She then heard Vi out in regards to wrestling before listening to her speak out wrestling with... The nature of existence? Bonnie listened in, scratching her head as she furrowed her brow. "...Well... By the sounds of that I'd like ta' not win or lose, ya know? Seems like it all ends once you 'win' or 'lose'." Bonnie stated, though honestly unsure of what she was even trying to say.

"Fufufu, is that what it sounds like?" Violate said, raising an eyebrow at Bonnie. She let her eyes wander towards the pictures and thought about Bonnie's little family. Duffy had already been wrecked twice. The last time was especially cruel. Clyde as well and Bonnie had both had their shares of scars, both physically and mentally. Vi doubted their mother was even around, but Kagami...

Oh, Kagami...

Violate smiled behind her teacup once more and set it down. "So, you don't want it to end, is that what you're saying? Fufufu..." She asked with a smile as she filled up her tea cup once more.

"Well... I know life doesn't last forever and time don't wait but I don't see any point in trying to reach the end so soon. I'll take my time and enjoy the ride as slow as can be. I love Texas, but coming to Japan was the greatest decision I ever made." Bonnie said, wondering if Duffy felt the same or if she would return to Scotland. Either way, Bonnie knew they'd talk about it and the Texan girl would simply follow. "I want it all to go slow..." She finally added before there was a knock at the door.

"Ooh!" Bonnie set her tea down and sprung up. "That's prolly my brother." She muttered before going over to the door and opening it. In the doorway stood Clyde Gastin, clad in a rather expensive looking, slim navy suit with a red tie. "Bonnie!" Beamed the cowboy with a smile, carrying a case of McEwan's Scotch Ale. Bonnie greeted her twin with a strong hug that he too returned, staying there for a moment before they finally broke it off. It had been a while.

"C'mon in and say Hi ta' Violate!" She said, excited to finally introduce the two. "Violate... This is my brother!" Bonnie said happily as Clyde walked in and saw the friend that Bonnie had spoken so much about. His eyes going wide with, shock, horror, anger and confusion when he saw The Mad Hatter.

"HOLY HEL-WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE DOIN' HERE!?!?" He barked loudly while Bonnie looked on just as wide eyed as her brother. Without a moment's notice, Bonnie shoved him back hard.

"CLYDE! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YA!?" She snapped, angered by her Brother's rude outburst. She turend back immediately to Vi. "V-Vi... I-I'm so Sorry I dunno... What. The hell. His problem. Is." She growled her brother when she turned back to face him.

Meanwhile Clyde looked on at Vi and swallowed hard, never taking his eyes off Vi, feeling that if he did, he'd have a pistol pulled out on him. He remained on his guard

"Bonnie, That woman ain't right. She plum crazy." Clyde said, much to Bonnie's annoyance and embarrassment. She was trying to hold back, but right now she was half tempted to beat Clyde's ass on the spot.

"Nnn..."

Violate said nothing as Bonnie became introspective and merely pulled up her tea cup and gently blew on it as Bonnie attended to the door. When she let Clyde in and he saw first hand who Violate was, the gardener didn't flinch, in fact, through both of the twins' yelling, she merely lifted her glass of tea to her lips and took a careful sip as if only peaceful silence filled the room.

"Ahhh, you are quite right. The tea is certainly to die for, fufu."

Vi cracked only a small grin as she spoke and carefully set her tea cup down on the table.

The Twins looked on and blinked at how calm their guest was. Bonnie was surprised and Clyde was very weary. Her words making his eye twitch.

"Bonnie she's dangerous and needs to leave..." Clyde tried to argue while Bonnie gave him a stern gaze that indicated that she was far from in the mood.

"She pulled on gun out on me." He finally added before Bonnie's eyes would widen sharply, making her turn about to look at Vi.

"Is this... True?" Bonnie asked, silently hoping for a misunderstanding.
