Off To The Fair!

It was just the cutest thing they way the two of them dressed so differently. Sayumi went in her dress, booties and leggings and her BIG sunhat while Cicilia went in her hoodie (Hood up of course), shorts and boots. It was such a difference... and she loved every second. The two of them walked into the fair, hands intertwined, both of them looking about at the various stands. It was true... Cicilia couldn't make out all the different kanji at a glance unlike her native girlfriend beside her, making her analysis of each stand much longer and drawn out. Sometimes, she felt so dumb around all these people, forgetting that she was a foreigner in these lands. Japan had been good to her, all things considered, and had grown to see it as her new home... On the other hand, being unable to read the native language at a decent pace in the place you considered your home was... humbling to say the least! Luckily, she had her handy-dandy Sayumi beside her to help her figure things out!

With her partner taking her arm and hers, the lavender beauty drew her attention to say the least as she was literally dragged through the crowds before the target of her lover's desires lay before them both: A chocolate-covered banana stand. Cicilia couldn't help but blush as Sayumi softly pointed out each and every available flavor into her ear. Each word the beautiful woman beside her spoke made the coated fruit more and more enticing... Less because of the actual product, more because it was how she was being convinced to buy it. Turning to face her sweet, she placed a soft kiss on the tip of her nose and smiled warmly. did she even need to ask...?

"Why not....? Always wanted to try one." She whispered back tempted to get really close... REALLY close and tease again... OH THE TEMPTATION! Using her vast reserves of willpower in their most justified cause yet, Cicilia instead leaned in to give Sayumi's forehead another soft peck before walking with her right up to the stand! "I'll have one of those strawberry-chocolate banana things." She asked, digging out of her pockets a small ball of bills with her free hand. "And one of the milk-chocolate too." She held out a couple bills which the Vendor promptly exchanged for their treats, the German handing the soft pink one to the beautiful lavender beside her.

"For you, my sweet." She murmured, flashing her partner a quick wink. Before she could begin to work her own, however, someone behind her spoke her name....

Oh... GOD no...

The Boxer froze in place, nearly dropping her banana right there, so shocked was she! It was never a good sign when you went out like this and someone recognized you... So many things could turn out from that... She didn't even WANT to know what the extent of those were...

Slowly, cautiously, the boxer would gently turn with her partner in tow to see... Pyrena...? Well, it was her face but her hair was red... Did she dye it...? More importantly, WHAT WAS SHE DOING HERE!? NOW!? The look of shock on her face was enough to make it drop-dead obvious Cicilia had recognized her... Left with no other options, the boxer would walk right up to the MONSTER-woman, she who had stomped the juggernaut in the gym all that time ago...

"Uh... Heya, Pyrena..." Cicilia waved her banana hand, smiling rather awkwardly. "This is.... uh... my girlfriend... Sayumi." She gestured to the woman who's arms she was linked with a nod of her head. "Sayumi... this is Pyrena. I met her in the gym... She's... uh... a great boxer."

Sayumi's nose wrinkled cutely as it was kissed, evoking her to stick her tongue out at Cicilia until the boxer had agreed to buy the treat. She hugged her girlfriend's arm tightly, taking one small hop as if she were a little girl again. "Yay! You're the best!" She took the kiss on the forehead and returned a big wet one to her cheek which got quite the look from the elderly man working the counter. As Cicilia made the order, Sayumi translated in Japanese, just in case they hadn't been fluent in English. While most tended to have it as a second or third language, a few more traditional folks in the city were dead set on not branching out past their roots.

She took her banana on a stick, beaming happily. Leaning in she gave Cicilia one more nuzzle before bringing the treat to her mouth. "Nom." And popped one end right in. She hadn't even had a moment to bite through the hardened chocolate when she heard someone call Cicilia's name. She peered up at her girlfriend curiously. While she wouldn't have felt it so odd ordinarily, the fact she could feel her tense up immediately after made her slightly worried. Was she scared? Why?

She turned around with Cicilia, the chocolate banana still hanging from her mouth as she eyed Pyrena, head tilting slightly. Cicilia knew her by name, but it was one she was unfamiliar with. She bit off the tip of the banana, making quick work of it to clear her mouth and not look utterly ridiculous. She swallowed hard, she could have chewed it a bit more thoroughly... whoops. "Hello!" She smiled, bouncing slightly in place making her heart shaped sunglasses pop up then back down on the bridge of her nose. She didn't know Cicilia had other friends! This was great. Though... the more she thought about it the more confusing it was. Why was she being so nervous about it?

"Arai Sayumi." She bowed her head slightly, not enough to put her hat in danger. "Pleased to meet you Ms. Pyrena." She peered up at her girlfriend questioningly. "I don't believe Cicilia has mentioned you before actually." Was it before the two of them had met? Was it before they were an item? She had met Cicilia in the gym after all. The uncomfortable air Cicilia was emitting was polluting her own opinions, making ehr slightly uneasy. Still, Sayumi soldiered on politely. It was a beautiful day, they were at the fair, and she had a choco banana. Life was pretty good.

It was as much of a surprise to the Red Amazonian as it is for the Juggernaut.

Needless to say, she didn't expect to bump into her. At the gym, it would make sense. At a fun fair? And not to long ago she was thinking about how alone she was. Fate must love some funny jokes. And it must be chuckling out loud.

"Well this was unexpected...Ehehe..Didn't think I'd bump into you here." Lightly chuckling as her hand ran up the back of her head. Giving a cool grin to the Juggernaut. At least Cicilia seemed to recognize the tall Greek woman. They met when Pyrena had her hair the true natural color that is black rather than the vivid red that she sees today. Good thing that she was good at remembering faces. Pyrena certainly remembers her.

Funny that, with how she almost reconstructed it from their "little" spar.

The Greek woman raised her eyebrows as Cicilia introduced her girlfriend. She felt even more weird. Did she bump into them having a date? She was surprised to see Cicilia's girlfriend here as well. But she seems nice and friendly. "Oh yeah, we both met at the gym...had a..err...nice spar together...pretty good boxer, your girlfriend. Lot of potential." The Red Amazonian wasn't too sure if she should say much more than that, just to be respectful. Considering Cicilia hasn't even mentioned about their spar together to Sayumi.

"Oh! Nikos Pyrena. Almost forgot!" After all this time she spent in Japan, she had to get into the habit of how the Japanese would introduce with their surname first. All her life she had went forename first. Or just forename. That was enough in her mind. Still felt weird to say it like that. "Lovely to meet you." The Greek bowed, not having to worry about her hat falling off. "I'm guessing you two are on a date?"

Why was Cicilia so nervous? The first thing was that the German wasn't exactly... completely comfortable when it came to personal public knowledge of her relationships... Don't misunderstand this, though. She loved Sayumi with unwavering passion and devotion and would do just about anything to make her smile! It's just... she didn't really like it all that much when people she knew found out about that side of her. Of course, she did very little to keep them from finding out... Her hentai matches with Sayumi were accredited by THE Virgin-Killer herself as being some of the hottest she's ever seen but still... She never really paid attention to the viewers... Her attention was always on her beautiful partner... Now that someone she knew was coming up to them and acquiring knowledge about them... It wasn't so much invasive or unwelcome as it was... something less nefarious than that... They didn't know... They weren't trying to make her miserable and certainly Pyrena wasn't! Perhaps that part of her life... it was just so much more personal and important to Cicilia than anything else in it. She wanted it to be just them... Right down to it being something of a secret as selfish as that sounded.

"Yeah... uh... Unexpected is a word for it." Cicilia agreed with a nod, letting out a heavy breath. Cicilia had kept expecting some kind of negative response from the massive red-head over her homosexuality, her mind teetering on that edge. It wasn't so much because the woman had proven herself to be a bigot on such matters, but because it was something that REALLY didn't go over well in Europe... Especially where she grew up in Munich. Oh boy if her family found out...

Anyway... Pyrena was being polite and hinted at no malicious intent with her tone and body-language, merely a sense of awkwardness that the two of them reciprocated back and forth. The German glanced over at her partner as if to get a read on her partner and how she gauged the Greek colossus. She seemed a little tense, reading and reacting based on Cicilia's own reactions. She didn't want Sayumi to think BADLY of her friend!

Ugh... Make a damn decent effort to be a decent person, why don't you, Cicilia?

"Thank you..." Cicilia smiled with a slight flicker of pride as Pyrena complimented her skills. "If I'm 'pretty-good', You're, like, champion material." Pyrena inquired as to if the two of them were out on a date and at that, the German just nodded. "Yeah! I haven't ever been to any Carnivals growing up and I thought this would be a lot of fun for us both! Speaking of which..." Cicilia paused looking around at the various attractions. "Have any games or rides you recommend, Pyrena?"

Pyrena was never a person to really pry into personal matters that didn’t involve her. What was between them should stay that way in her mind. Although a part of her was curious as to why the Juggernaut was nervous. Did she stumble into something that she wasn’t supposed to see? The whole thing seemed rather secretive. Well, at least only to Cicilia, that much she gauged. Sayumi didn’t seem like that. Then again, this was the first time that the Greek has even met her and the Juggernaut hasn’t told her about Pyrena.

Sayumi seemed sweet from what she gathered in first impressions however. Though she was surprised to bump into Cicilia dating. With her views on homosexuality…it’s something that she doesn’t really care about as much. The Greek understood some European countries’ views on the matter, Pyrena even knows of his father’s conservative views on the matter. The whole ‘Adam and Eve’ type of thing than ‘Adam and Steve’. Though in her time in a country where hentai matches was a thing, she was cool about it. As long as they are happy, she wouldn’t be complaining. Pyrena herself has yet to find love. In terms of if she had a problem with those two…none at all. The Red Amazonian having her own preferences but if that’s the way the Juggernaut likes to swing then she wasn’t going to protest.

“Why thank you. Well, I am glad to see you recovered well since then.” Pyrena smiled back, not going to play down Cicilia’s skill in boxing. She has promise. Though the Greek was just better that time. Cicilia then told Pyrena that this was the first time being in a carnival and that they are on a date! Her eyebrows raised a bit from this. “I see. How nice.” She looked around the place for anything good. “Well…this has been the first time in very long while that I have stepped foot in a carnival like this…From my memory, there was the Ferris Wheel that I gone with my father. And the bumper cars….Oooh! There was another game that I’ve done…It’s like some sort of strength tester, with a hammer. Can’t remember the name for the life of me…” She scratched the back of her head as she remembers fondly about that.

“I remember when I would try to beat my father in that game...then again, I was young that time.”

"Ms. Nikos." She gave a small nod in greeting. Tilting her head slightly, she giggled. "Gosh I hope she's a good boxer, she's a professional after all." Sayumi looked sidelong to Cicilia with a smirk. She'd seen the girl train more than enough as well as been on the other end of some of her punches. The boxer was a freight train manifested in the form of a beautiful dark haired woman. Her attention drifted back to Pyrena, getting a small nod out of her. It hadn't expressly been referred to as a date by either girl, but she supposed that was what it was. "Yup!" She beam happily, taking another bite from her banana.

Sayumi hung tightly onto Cicilia's arm, swaying slightly as she listened to the women speak. Cicilia's gym brawls weren't exactly a secret, not that the boxer had ever been very forthcoming about them. It was clear the German just didn't want to worry her, but honestly that just made her worry more. There was only so much she could lecture about taking care of herself. Cicilia was an adult after all. Which of the times Cicilia had come home stiff or limping was Pyrena she wondered. It was hard to get much information just by looking at her in a hoodie. If she not only beat Cicilia but earned such praise from the boxer, she must be pretty skilled.

"I LOVE bumper cars." She suddenly interjected excitedly, raising a forearm up to clover her mouth. She had been chewing at the time and just couldn't help herself. When was the last time she had even been in one of those? Back before her idol try out days, that was for sure. It had gotten to the point where her friends actually would try to box her into corners to keep her from tearing them up. For how little driving she did, when it came to bumper cars, and go-karts, she was a bit of a terror. She made sure to swallow her food, murmuring a soft apology before speaking again. "I'm the bump master." She gave Cicilia a light nudge with her hip, demonstrating her prowess. The title still sounded a bit odd given her career context, but it worked for the topic at hand.

She didn't seem to follow what Pyrena was talking about at first but it seemed to just click. "OH! I know those. I never played that... back home, when I was younger and still went to the arcade, they use to have this test of strength game where you had to arm wrestle the machine. It was like... you had to actually lock up with a mechanical arm that was on it, and it had a fake person on the screen you wrestled against. That was pretty cool. I wasn't super good at it, but I could beat the first girl."

"I am, don't worry about that." Cicilia rolled her eyes and smiled at Sayumi's remark, leaning in and giving her partner a soft kiss on her lips as she looked up at her and smirked. She couldn't help it... she was too cute! Oh the temptation to keep kissing her... That wasn't what they were here for, though... The fun they were out to have was to be far more jovial and less... personal. When the German inquired as to what kind of games there were to look forward too, Pyrena made a few suggestions, though the Ferris-Wheel caught her attention. Oh yeah... those things were shown a lot in movies and such... it was supposedly known for it's romantic setting at the top. It was definitely some place they were gonna have to hit by the end of this. At the mention of bumpercars, Sayumi's enthusiasm nearly made the boxer jump, her body freezing in shock at the sudden excitement! A deep blush flashed across the German's cheeks as Sayumi gently nudged her hip with her own, seeming to imply something by her title of "bump-master." Uuuugh... This was probably just Cicilia's dirty mind taking over again, making her see things as other, less appropriate things... So EMBARRASSING! Letting out a soft giggle, the German released some of her nervousness and softly bumped her partner back, giving her arm a gentle squeeze to let her know she acknowledged her title... A small, competetive grin spread across her face as she realized she was linked up with the "Bump-master"... a title she intended to take over from her real soon-like.

"Perhaps we should head there at some point..." Cicilia offered, looking out over the crowd for anything that would look like a Bumper-Car station. "I'd be more than willing to try you for that title, Sayumi..."

And then there was one last suggestion... Tests of strength... THESE Cicilia knew about. Specifically, the Hammer-button game where one smacks a button with the intent of sending the little bell-knocker up to the bell itself. THAT was one of the games she ALWAYS wanted to try! A classic! Sayumi, however, brought up another one she had never heard of before... It sounded like an arm-wrestle machine where one locked up with a fake arm and proceeded to challenge increasingly difficult levels of mechanical strength... Her smile widened... that sounded like even MORE fun...

"Lets find one of those first!" Cicilia offered, taking her first bite out of her banana, quickly swallowing it before continuing. She'd savor it later... Right now, she was excited! "Do you mind if we bring Pyrena along for a bit, Sayumi? Just for a few games." Of course, she had to ask her partner before she asked Pyrena if she wanted to come along... It would be discourteous to not include her own GIRLFRIEND in this conversation! Was it discourteous to even ask...? They WERE on a date after all...

As the conversation went on more and more, Pyrena’s perception on Cicilia has changed, though only just a little. She thought it was sweet with the way Sayumi was clinging on the Juggernaut’s arm and with how they kissed. They certainly were the lovely couple. Fair to say the Greek hasn’t seen this side of Cicilia up until now. Pyrena didn’t feel like she needed to throw up at the sight. It was nice to see something like this.

The Red woman gave her some recommendations on what stuff they could try, while she did that, she remembered fondly on the stuff she did with her father. The Ferris-Wheel caught Cicilia’s attention, Pyrena remembered how she saw her own house from the top. The next one caught the other woman’s attention as Sayumi interjected on one of Pyrena’s recommendations. The Greek grins as she shows excitement on the idea of bumper cars. Perhaps that is something they could do. Added that to the list. Though when she mentioned that she was “the bump master” and how Cicilia blushed and giggled, the Red Amazonian looked at them weirdly a bit. She wandered if the conversation diverted to something else, another kind of bump that they are implying. Yeeaah, rather not get into that. She’s ok with the fact that they are dating, no need to get into how they bump uglies with each other. Especially since she had her breakfast.

The last suggestion at least brought them back to the topic at hand, and that caught both of their attention, most notably Cicilia’s. Not so surprising, given that is her thing. Pyrena knowing all too well on how much power the German has from being on the other end of the German’s punches. As Pyrena described the game, the hammer button game, Sayumi brought up another game. It took a while for it to click, she knew exactly what she was talking about. “Oh yeah, that too! I remember seeing one of them. It wasn’t a person on the other end of the screen but it was a robot on the one I tried. I beaten the game actually. Can’t remember if I gotten the highest score though...” As far as she remembered, her score was tied with another person who beaten the game. Arm-Wrestling is always so much fun, better with a real person. All of this got Cicilia excited to try them out, the Greek seeing how pumped she was.

The German asked her partner if she should come along. Upon hearing that, Pyrena was a tad bit worried. Being the Third Wheel isn’t the best, especially if they were on a date. At least from what she thought. Would she be interrupting? Getting in the way of what they had planned. Although, Cicilia wouldn’t have a problem with that if she asked in the first place. Plus it was always good to be with a group. “Oh, well only if that’s ok with you guys.” It probably isn’t such a big deal, although it pays to be sure.

Sayumi gave both women a slightly curious look at their initial response to her newly claimed title of “bump master”. It was of course meant to be in relation to the bumper cars themselves. The other possible meaning she had in mind referred to taking bumps in wrestling, not a single bit of the perverse had so much had creeped into her mind when she said it. Generally taking bumps in the ring wasn't something to be proud of after all. Why was Cicilia blushing so much?

“A challenge huh?” She waved what little of her chocolate covered bananas remain, almost as if she were threatening Cicilia with it as if the food item had been a weapon. “And what exactly do you have to wager against my prestigious title, hmm?” She arched a slender brow, giving her girlfriend time to think of a worthy prize befitting of the Bump Master.

As she popped her banana in her mouth, Cicilia’s question caught her in an always limbo half eating. “Hm?” She glanced Pyrena, eyeing the immediate area around her. Was she actually alone here at the fair? She bit off a section of banana, chewing on it as she nodded. With a hard swallow she finally spoke again. “Oh course, you can't be alone at a festival! You gotta have your friends or your family around, that's what makes these places so awesome!” She looked between the women, beaming cheerfully.

Her eyes locked on Pyrena in a sudden moment of serious intensity as she stared. “You have to pay a fee to come with us though.” she tugged the last of her banana off the stick, pointing the small wooden rod at Pyrena. “You gotta pay the smile tax. Lemme see it. Big smile. If we are going to be hanging out today I gotta be sure you can have fun!” She turned to Cicilia, giving her a playful bonk on the forehead with the stick. “You too. Just cause I want to see your smile.” Sayumi ran a tight operation here, happiness mandatory. Bad feels go away.

Cicilia smiled WIDE as Sayumi questioned as to what Cicilia was wagering to get a crack at her title of "Bump-Master." The look in her eyes said it all: A night of fun, details left entirely up to her. However, her partner was WELL KNOWN for her uncanny innocence and so... She would have to come up with something more... material... Save her original plan for later. What could she wager...? Pretty much everything she possessed the two of them owned together already! The game-system they shared, the TV, they shared, the bed (obviously),... There wasn't much Cicilia could offer that could be said in such a public place.... ESPECIALLY in front of her friend!

"I'll... wager another one of those Bananas and I'll pay for any game you want until you win." She offered wrapping her free arm around her girlfriend's hip, pulling her close... She smelled of strawberries and chocolate, no doubt from the sweet treat she's just finished... When she was asked if they could add Pyrena to their party, Cicilia was reminded of why she loved her so much... She seemed all for it, remarking how one couldn't just go to these places alone... Some of the magic would be lost that way! The German's cheeks flared softly before leaning over and placing a soft chocolate flavored kiss upon her girlfriend's cheek, hugging her a little closer... She was just the sweetest woman in the world... but not the cheapest... It seemed that she would require a TEST of not just Pyrena, but of Cicilia as well! They would have to SMILE for her... Well that was easy... And for being so nice... The German would step it up a notch, Pyrena being here... or not.

Cicilia would move her arm up Sayumi's side until it hooked under her arm and around her back, pulling her chest-to-chest with the German as she stared deeply into her eyes... the Boxer would slowly lean in, gently pressing her lips to hers in a slow, but very passionate kiss, reminding her how much FUN she was! After a little while, if Sayumi didn't pull away first, Cicilia would, unable to help herself in smacking her lips a little, taking in the flavor of that banana... delicious...

Of course, she would smile a small, but very warm grin towards her sweet, her lids drooping a little bit as the sensation of attraction flooded her system to the extreme... She didn't know what she was so afraid about earlier... It was moments like these that made life worth living after all!
