Off To The Fair!

She wondered if Sayumi caught on with what Cicilia and Pyrena were thinking of when it came to the name “bump master”. From the looks of things, she seemed not to. Funny how the Juggernaut and the Red Amazonian came to the same idea in the first place. Shows how dirty minded they could be. Though the Greek took no pleasure thinking that. She should get that thought out of her mind. Not really good thinking of those two “bumping” on each other… Though it was cute to see those two when they came up with their challenges. A lovely couple indeed.

Pyrena was initially worried is she was intruding though she told herself it wouldn’t be so much of a big issue. Cicilia was the one that came up with the idea that Pyrena should join, not herself. As long as Sayumi was ok with it all. The Greek felt at ease when the Japanese woman said it was fine and she did agree. It was the kind of place to have friends and family around. Pyrena would have been the true exemption to that, had she not bumped into the two earlier.

Though her expression turned to show uncertainty when she mentioned that she had to pay a fee. “Hm?” Did she have to pay them in one of those bananas that they were eating? Or some other type of payment? Admittedly, she was nervous. Until Sayumi made it clear that it was the smile tax.

Oh. Right. That.

Well, that was unexpected. Guess she was the type to be all smiles and such. Not really a bad thing, positivity was good. A group shouldn’t run on bad vibes. It was a simple test. Just have to smile right? Nothing hard with that then. “Aha! That is true. Well, alright then.” She chuckled, giving a smile, a perfect one in her mind.

See? She can have fun!

While Pyrena did show her smile, hopefully enough to pay the tax, the German seemed to go the extra mile. Go beyond the pass rate of what was expected as she gave a kiss on top of a smile. A passionate one.

“Is that also part of the smile tax?” The Greek joked. There was no beating that. Not that Pyrena was willing to compete in the first place. Pretty sure it would be weird if the Greek had to kiss Sayumi too. She asked for a smile. So she was going to settle with that.

Sayumi gave Cicilia quite the look at the simple offer of her covered title for something as simple as one chocolate banana, even if they were great, they weren't THAT great. Besides, if she really wanted to deal with the mess, she could make them at home. The second end of the deal however… it meant she could play even the hardest game until she managed to take one one of those giant plushies she always wanted when she was a kid. Fair games were notoriously hard, but with Cicilia's wallet, surely she wouldn't come up empty handed like in the days of past. “You’re on. I hope you have been lifting weights, cause you are gonna have to carry whatever I win too! That's the deal.”

The lavender haired cutsie “meeped” softly as she was pulled into Cicilia by an arm, giving her girlfriend a small nuzzle. With a small giggle she had accepted Cicilia’s peck on her cheek before making her declaration on what it would take for this two woman show to add a third member.

She leaned happily as Pyrena humored her request, flashing the redhead a thumbs up “Good, that's perfe-mmmm!” Shed just been talking to Pyrena in regards to the smile tax, but Cicilia had her own ideas. She wasn't sure if this was her girlfriend's attempt to bribe and official to let Pyrena in, or she was just paying back taxes in smile revenue, but she certainly wouldn't complain. “Mmm!” She pat Cicilia’s shoulders in play protest, the fact she wasn't even trying to pull away blew her cover at least to the boxer. Her cheeks took on a lovely reddish hue making her bright eyes seem that much more vivid.

When they finally parted, she wobbled a bit, leaning up against Cicilia with a small huff. She gave her girlfriend a small squinty eyed look in feigned anger, all the while holding her girlfriend closer. She blew a raspberry up at Cicilia before turning back to Pyrena. Her gentle blush turned several shades deeper, blinking at the question. “ Ah heh heh heh! No no, this is just someone…” Sayumi leaned her hips out, then swing them back in to give Cicilia a bump on the side. “Being a smart aleck.”

Ah... She looked so cute when she was pretending to be mad.... Cicilia smiled even wider as a heavy blush flashed across her girlfriend's features, blinking innocently at her as the two of them held each-other ever closer. She only giggled at the raspberry she was being splattered with, using her sleeve to wipe the little little droplets that splattered across her chin. At Pyrena's question, she just LAUGHED, chuckling hard as Sayumi blushed an even deeper shade of sanguine, remarking that it was just Cicilia being a smart aleck.

"Nuh uh!" She protested, bumping Sayumi's hip right back with her own. She leaned in again, this tine just to nuzzle her softly. Her lavender beauty really did deserve all this warmth and affection... anything she could give to make her feel loved, anything to make her feel happy, Cicilia would do. Of course, this included all the snuggley cuddlyness they could do in public! There was no shame in showing your partner how much you loved them... within reason. "I'm just paying the girlfriend tax..." AHA! She forgot about that one, didn't she!? Cicilia had outsmarted her once again using  her superior knowledge of relationships! "That doesn't apply to you, Pyrena, don't worry! Just me! And it's so worth it..." She snickered lightly and gave Sayumi one last kiss on the forehead before looking at the two of them and smiling...

"SO! Where do we go first?" She asked, looking around at all the rides. "Shall we go to the bumper-cars so I can take Sayumi's title?" She winked at the woman in her arms, hugging her a tiny bit more against her. "Or will we go to the tests of strength? I'll do whatever you guys want to do first!"

Pyrena humoured on Sayumi’s request on positive vibes and given the lavender haired woman what she asked for. Giving a smile. Which was simple enough. An upside down frown, showing some whites, not looking creepy…it was easy. Considering she was going to join in on the fun, the Greek had to show that she could let loose and have fun. Can’t be so serious all the time. Sayumi would give the confirmation with two thumbs up. Pyrena has been accepted. Got a good result from the smile judge, all is well. Even when she was interrupted by the German Juggernaut who went to pay the girlfriend tax, at least Pyrena knew that she’s in. That was the important part.

Though she chuckled as the couple shared the kiss. “Oh the Girlfriend Tax, huh?” Drats. Outsmarted by Pyrena’s lack of knowledge of relationships! Well she won that round. Truth be told, the Red Amazonian did not know of the ‘girlfriend tax’, mainly because she never had one, but she was amused by Ciclia’s cute remark. “Well thanks for clearing that up. If I did, then I would be worried.” Pyrena says, her smile still on her face, somewhat hoping it makes up with how much the Girlfriend tax was worth. It was nice seeing her like that. All happy and not trying to punch your head off your shoulders. So cute that she started to feel a tiny bit...jealous? Nah, that’s silly. Although she could certainly get some human affection for her lonely self. Now was not the time to think about it.

Now it was the question of which rides they should go for. “That’s the million dollar question.” The Greek joked. “Hmm...well I am more inclined to do some test of strength.” Funny enough, she had thought of going for the bumper cars and taking the title of ‘Bump Master’ off Sayumi and ride off in the sunset. Though as she thought about it, she remembered the rather dirty thought of the nickname and decided against it. That would make things even more weird. “Perhaps I could take the title of ‘Juggernaut’ while I am at it too.” She winks at the German.

The moment Cicilia's offer to pay for any games she wanted until she won was on the table, her mind went into overdrive in trying to think of the best way to go about stacking the deck in her favor for the bumper car bout. While she knew she was good with them, it had been ages since last she sat herself down inside one of those little air cars... she was being cautious, not conniving Yes, that was it. The longer they held off on that challenge, the better. Between getting lazy off of good foot, walking around all day, and anything else she could use to wind down the other two women she could almost assure her victory!

"Yes! Test of strength first!" She jumped, literally and figuratively at the suggestion. With how competitive she knew Cicilia was, she doubted the two of them would just play the game once. The likelihood of the two women trying to one up each other was almost certain. "Her title isn't for sale." She defensively hugged Cicilia's arm, sticking her tongue out at Pyrena at the suggestion. The boxer was HER juggernaut. Big, and strong and protective. Even if her girlfriend was willing to risk her namesake, Sayumi clearly didn't want her to. At the wink, the native girl pointed two fingers at her own eyes before thrusting one stiffly back out at Pyrena, letting the redhead know she was watching her.

She broke her gaze to get up on her tip toes and give Cicilia a small kiss on the cheek. "You aren't taking my title, but it's cute when you act all confident. Mwah!" She gave the boxer one more peck on the cheek before returning to hugging her arm tightly and nuzzling her shoulder. "I wonder if they will let you just punch it instead of using a hammer." She tilted her head, getting lost for a moment in a daydream of Cicilia breaking the machine by mistake with her bare fist. She giggled to herself, grinning from ear to ear.

Cicilia blinked in surprise as Sayumi was almost too quick to agree with Pyrena, the German glancing down to look at her partner.

"Oh...? Excited to see me win, hmmm?" She inquired seriously, completely oblivious to the evil, nefarious and scheming plans Saymi had been conjuring up. Pyrena's challenge instantly nabbed Cicilia's attention away from lavender cutie, however, a sharp smile cutting its way across her face. Oh? Was that a challenge or just fantasizing? She wanted to take HER title!? Not bloody likely! She wouldn't stop her from trying, though... After all, there were few things more satisfying in this world than smacking down those that would threaten something you hold dear.

Before she could say anything to the effect of "bring it on", Sayumi spoke up first, stating that her title wasn't for sale! Well... there went that dream. Cicilia couldn't help but laugh, amused by her girlfriend's protectiveness, how she clung to her shoulder and protected her. She loved it when she did that... It had to be the most adorable thing she'd ever done and it really showed how much she cared behind all that cute fluff!

"Well... Sorry, Pyrena... The lady has spoken." Not a moment after she finished speaking, she felt her girlfriend's lips grace her cheek, a soft warm blush flooding across them as her gaze flicked back down to meet hers... Sayumi appeared to stare back up defiantly, declaring that it was cute when she tried to act confident! "Wh-" Another kiss was placed upon her cheek before the beautiful Lavender pressed herself against her arm once again... Cicila's heart melted in her chest, her expression practically melting into a dreamy smile as she stared down at her lover... She was the luckiest woman in the world to have her... She would sigh softly and lean sown placing a kiss on the top of her head, letting her smooth, silky locks gently grace her face.

"Nah... they wouldn't..." Cicilia giggled. "If they did, they'd have to let everyone do it. There would be a lot of broken hands after that." She looked between the giantess and her clinging partner, smiling at the both of them. When she came here, she thought her life would be... less than stellar... Living alone without friends or family, no love or happiness besides her hobbies and work.... Now here she was with a good friend and a girlfriend at the local fair... It was times like these she felt truly lucky to be alive.

"Well! Let's see if we can find the game, shall we?"

With that, Cicilia would lead the two of them throughout the the park and it wasn't much of a journey considering the trademark bell-tower thing was right in the center! There stood a man in a striped shirt and yellow vest, leaning on the hammer as some kind of support as he waited for customers to test their mettle! As luck would have it, nobody else seemed interested at the moment, favoring the more modern rides that surrounded this classic.

"Oh good! Looks like we can get right to it!" Cicilia mentioned as they approached! "Watch and learn, Pyrena. I'm about to school you." She turned to her girlfriend, giving her arm a little tug. "I'm gonna need this..." She whispered, before leaning down to kiss her ever so softly. "May I please have my arm back...?"

Should she be set free, the German would blow a quick kiss at her partner before turning back to the game, and paying the man what he was owed: 1$. Grabbing the hammer, the Juggernaut spun it a little in her grasp, testing it's weight, feeling how it rested in her hands... BEFORE SENDING IT CRACKING DOWN on the plate without a moment more of hesitation! The dinger shot up HIGH into the sky, crashing into the bell with a mighty DING!

"Heh..." Cicilia smirked, flashing a cocky grin the Greek's way as she handed the hammer back to the man and headed back to her group. "Beat that, amazon."

Pyrena’s eyes widened in surprise, Sayumi seeming very enthusiastic about the option of doing some test of strength, jumping up. Perhaps she is always like that, Sayumi seems sweet and likes to be positive at all times. Maybe just excited to see her girlfriend perform in the test of strength, or she has some deceptive strength hidden in that body of hers to show off.

“Well drats.” The Red Amazon chuckles at Sayumi’s response that Cicilia’s title isn’t for sale. “Heh. Fair enough.” Shrugging her shoulders, the Greek didn’t mind if she walks away with the title or not. Winning the game is more satisfactory. The title on the line would have spiced things up for them, Pyrena imagining her nickname of ‘Greek Juggernaut’. Yeah. Pretty sure it fits.

So. Test of Strength it is then!

The Greek was amused at the thought of using one’s fist to do it instead of a hammer. While she did agree with Cicilia about the whole ‘broken hands’ part, even she could imagine both doing that. At best, it would be similar to the board breaking event that karatekas perform. Kyokushin is meant to be a tough art. If they could break bricks and all sorts with their own fists then this should be no problem to them. Right?

Pyrena followed the Juggernaut and her girlfriend towards the bell tower. Funnily enough, there wasn’t much of a line to have a crack at it. Suppose many like the newer stuff compared to the good ol’ classics like these. Not that it mattered now, it meant that they could get straight into it without having to wait like that roller-coaster nearby and the long line that followed.

The Greek had a sharp smile as Cicilia looks to show how it is done. Shaking her head, taking it as a joke but looking to see what kind of standard she is about to set. “Well go ahead and 'school' me.” The German gave the man a dollar before grabbing the hammer and cracks it down onto the plate, Pyrena’s eyes looked up as it shot high to the bell. She expected that much. Would be funny if it didn’t even touch the bell. Amusing to see Cicilia’s cocky little grin after that, heading back to the two. The gauntlet has been thrown. And Pyrena looks to wipe that smirk of her face. “Heh. Alright then.” The Red Amazon coming up to the bell tower, rummaging her pockets to get the $1 out to pay the man. Grabbing the hammer. Taking a while to get a feel of it. Hmm…not bad. Giving it a little whirl in her own hand, Pyrena not new to using weapons before, her entrances has her coming out with a spear. Her two hands grip tightly on the handle, before sending it down with a MIGHTY smash, the hammerhead crashes onto the plate and shoots up to the bell like a rocket and the DING followed. In her eyes, it looked faster coming up.

Settling the hammer to the floor, Pyrena turned round, a big smirk on her face. “Consider it beat, Juggernaut.”

Cicilia frowned as Pyrena took her up on her challenge... and proceeded to meet it with a hammer swing of her own! The amazon struck the pad so hard, the chime from the bell warped to the point that the guy running the game seemed almost worried that the metal had been dented! Upon inspection, it was revealed that it had not... though the threat had been sounded.

"You must've misunderstood." Cicilia remarked sharply, glancing over at the greek with a competitive glare. "You think that we're done? Better hope you have a few more bucks on you, Pyrena because I'm gonna run you're attempt into the ground!" Cicilia would then take the hammer from her much taller counterpart if a bit roughly, the German's competitiveness already taking her over a little bit. She wasn't going to let this tall-ass greek punk beat her in a test of strength, no sir! She already beat her once in a boxing match, as unofficial as it may have been but THIS was where she dominated! Pure, unadulterated might! She would use these thoughts to fuel her anger and therefor her power, adrenaline already pumping her up physically alongside her focus amplifying her control! The German stared at the pressure-plate down upon the ground, imagining it to be Pyrena's self-proclaimed "victory", imagining how her hammer would come down so hard, that it would crack and shatter into a million pieces before her eyes! TEACH HER TO THINK SHE COULD OUT-MUSCLE A JUGGERNAUT.

With a roar of power, Cicilia brought the hammer down with the might of... well... an angry trained boxer, the hammer's face SMASHING into the plate so hard, the knocker almost instantly *DANG*ing the bell! Why "dang" you may ask? Because it hit the thin bronze bell with enough force to dent it inward slightly, warping the noise of the chime!

"Ha. Ha." Cicilia smirked, raising an eyebrow at her much taller rival. "Beaten and broken."
