Nikolya “Nika” Akulova
I slow stirred from my slumber, my body was stiff, sore, and felt a little sticky. I tried to move but found I was locked in place. I opened my eyes, blinking several times trying to make them focus. Finally, I saw Sandra and Nika, both of them lying beside me. Every time I moved a little so did they. Their breasts squished up against me, feeling their soft skin on mine. Nika's skin was firmer, while Sandra's skin was very smooth.
I look over at the wall clock, 11:48 it read. "Almost noon already," I mumble. Nika mumbled as well and slowly opened her eyes. Doing the same thing at me, blinking multiple times, she focused on me. Looking up at me she smiled. “Good morning, my love," Nika yawns. She pushed herself up and gave me a quick kiss. "Um... good morning... love..." I spoke. Nika chuckled, then snuggled up against me more placing her head on my chest.
I placed my hand on Nika's waist and did the same to Sandra. "Um, Nika?" I whispered. "Hmm," Nika mumbled keeping her eyes closed. "When are we supposed to go and clean that pool at the plaza?" Nika's eyes shot open. "Oh, fuck!" Nika yelled sitting up. Nika's yelling startled Sandra awake. Sandra sat up confused, still half asleep. Nika looked at the wall clock. "Shit!" Nika shouted. "We're supposed to be there by 12." "Well guess that's out the window," I mumbled.
"Come on Sandra," Nika spoke then grabbed Sandra's arm and pulled her out of bed. "We're having a quick shower. Y/n, you have one after us, if we went in a hurry, we'd all have one together but that would take too much time." And with that, Nika with Sandra in tow exited the bedroom. After 10 minutes Nika yelled that they were finished and going to get dressed. I headed to the shower, had my own 10-minute shower, dried off, and got dressed.
"Still wearing these clothes... I need to go shopping," I muttered. I sniffed my shirt. "At least they don't smell," I stated. I grabbed my swim trunks and walked out of the room. Nika was quickly trying to get her things together and Sandra still looked confused as she grabbed her purse. Nika was wearing a navy blue t-shirt and dark blue jeans, while Sandra was wearing a gold-coloured t-shirt and matching jeans, the gold colour matched her eyes as well. "My, aren’t you bright coloured this morning," I spoke, Sandra, blushed. "Ok, got my cellphone, got my wallet, got my glasses..." Nika rhythmed off. "She has glasses?" I quickly asked Sandra. Sandra nodded and made a hand jester as if she was opening a book. "Oh, for reading," I spoke.
"Ok got everything, come on guys are you ready?" Nika hissed. "Um, ok, first off calm down Nika," I started. "Second, we are but you aren’t, third, what's the rush?" "What's the rush?" Nika barked not calming down. "Felicia hates it when Marrains are late, I was late by ten minutes one day and she made me wear 'The Suit.'" Nika shivered a little. "The Suit?" I questioned. "And what do you mean I'm not ready?" Nika shouted. "I just need to get my shoes on and I'm out the door." I looked over Nika. "With your shirt on backward and inside out," I spoke
Nika looked at me then tugged on her shirt and saw the shirt's tag hanging out. "Hmm," Nika mumbled with a puffy face. She took her shirt off revealing that she wasn't wearing a bra. Her breasts pulled up with the shirt then fell back into place with a bounce. Nika put her shirt back on and grabbed her sling backpack, I moved sure I had my cell phone and wallet, and Sandra was all set with her purse.
We put our shoes on and headed for the bus stop. Once we were on the bus Nika looked antsy to get to the plaza. We arrived at the Diamond Cut Plaza and Nika was almost dragging Sandra and me. "Will you stop pulling Nika, we'll get there when we get there," I stated. "No, you hurry up," Nika demanded. "I do not want to wear that suit again." Nika continued to pull us. “How bad is this suit,” I wondered. We got to the elevator and headed down.

Falicia Sharp
We got off at the bottom and headed for 'Pool Gamma.' Nika's antsy face had changed to a worried face. Walking up to the pool I saw Natali cleaning the pool by herself. "We better get changed and help her," I spoke. "You three are late," A familiar voice said behind us. Nika Froze then slowly turned around. "Hey, Miss Sharp," Nika trembled. I will admit Falicia didn't look so happy. "Sorry, we're late," Nika added. “Yesterday Nika was almost challenging Falicia to punish us but today she is terrified of her,” I thought to myself.
"Yes late, by almost an hour," Felicia snapped. "And here poor Natali showed up on time and has been cleaning the pool all by herself." "My apologies Miss Sharp for being so late," I started. "We'll get changed and join Natali." "Just hurry up and..." Falicia paused. Falicia looked at Nika’s chest looking at the symbol on it then grabbed my left hand and looked at my symbol. "Hmm, so that's why you are late," Falicia mumbled. Falicia let go of my hand, turned around, and headed off.
Nika, Sandra, and I headed for the changing rooms and got changed into our swimsuits. Changing into my swimsuit, I left my T-shirt on. I exited the changing room, Nika and Sandra were still changing so I headed for the pool and climbed down. Natali was busy scrambling the wall of the pool, she was wearing her lifeguard uniform with a white t-shirt over the top. "Hi Natali," I spoke. Natali jumped a little, startled by me. "Oh, Y/n, I didn't hear you appearing," Natali explained.

Natali Fin
"Sorry," I replied. "And sorry for being late, we kind of slept in." "It's... it's ok," Natali softly spoke. Natali wouldn't look directly at me keeping her head pointing away then looking at me from the corner of her eye. Natali would look at me then look away only to look at me again just to look away once more.
"Natali?" I spoke. "Hm," Natali replied looking at me. "Are you mad about yesterday?" I asked. "Mad about yesterday?" Natali questioned. "Yes, because Nika coasted you into our... activity," I answered. Natali turned away as her face turned red, properly remembering our activity. "Well, it's not like I didn't like it," Natali mumbled. "What was that?" I asked. "NOTHING!" Natali yelled.
"It's just... it was my first time doing anything like that so I'm a bit embarrassed," Natali explained. "And besides, I bet I wasn't any good compared to Nika or Sandra." "Well, you don't need a lot of talent or experience for it to feel good," I explained, Natali looked back at me. "And you did feel pretty good, Natali, as well, you were the one to make me cum." Natali's face turned red again and she turned around. "Um... well... we-we should get back to cleaning, yea cleaning, got to clean, clean, clean, cleanly, clean," Natali nervously rambled on.
Soon Sandra and Nika showed up and climbed down into the pool. Both of them walked over to me. "Shall we get clean?" I asked. Sandra and Nika nodded. We all picked up a brush broom and bucket. For the next 3 hours, the four of us cleaned every inch of the pool. Using a hose to wet everything, soap and water, and scrubbing the wall and floor. "Few looks like we're finally done," Nika informed. "Clean enough to eat off of," I remark as we all gather in the center of the pool. "And the MVP, Natali, who started by herself."
Natali's face turns a little red. "I-I was just doing what I was told," Natali stated. "Oh, and here is your reward," Nika announced then sprayed Natali with the hose. "Ahh!" Natali yelled. "Stop Nika!" Nika stopped soaking Natali. "You are so mean Nika," Natali said with a puffy face. "And you're topless," Nika stated. Natali froze and slowly looked down.
Natali was still wearing her white t-shirt, but the water had made it see-through revealing that she wasn't wearing the top of her uniform or any bra. Through the shirt, her nipples were light grey, the same colour as her arms and legs, and they stuck out on her white belly colour. Natali's face became bright red, and she quickly covered herself up. "My, my," A voice from above us said.
We all look up to see Falicia standing there along with other Marrain. "You guys got that done in good time," Falicia spoke. "Now, get everything out of the pool and we fill it up." Natali, Sandra, Nika, and I gathered up all the buckets, soaps, brooms, and hoses throwing them up on the ground. Then one by one we climb, first Nika then Sandra, followed by Natali and lastly me.
Once everyone was out of the pool Falicia pulled out a tablet-like device from her bag. With a couple of taps, water started to fill the pool. "It will take an hour and a half to fill the pool up," Falicia spoke. We nodded at Falicia, but my attention was on the Marrain with her. The Marrain in question looked like a reindeer. Slightly taller than me, she had an hourglass figure, fairly large breasts about the size of Nika's, dark brown ear-length hair, dressed in a gold bikini, and a matching long see-through lace skirt with a slit allowing half of her right left to stick out. "Oh, I'm sorry," Falicia spoke. "This is Samantha Rain."

Samatha Rain
"Hello," Samatha started. "As Falicia said my name is Samatha Rain, but please just call me Sam." Sam placed her fingertips on her chest as she said that. Her voice was quiet and calm. "It's a pleasure to meet you all," Sam said with a bow. Her bow allowed us to see down her cleavage. "Samatha Rain?" Nika questioned. "Where have I heard that name before?"
"Well, Samatha is the mayor of our city," Falicia spoke. "So, you've probably heard her name on the news or something." Nika held out her hand and put her fist in it. "Yes, that's right," Nika spoke. "So, you're in with the mayor eh, Falicia?" Falicia smiled and looked at Sam. "Maybe," Falicia sang. "But aren’t you being rude, you haven't introduced yourself yet."
Nika paused for a moment. "Hm, no we haven't," Nika spoke. Nika stuck out her hip and placed the back of her hand on it. "I am Nikolya Akulova, Nika for short," Nika introduced herself. Nika then walked over behind Sandra. "And this fine green Li’ar is Sandra Gowon," Nika spoke as she hovered her hands over the sides of Sandra’s body lowering them to follow the curves of her body while introducing Sandra. Sandra smiled and gave a little wave with her hand.
Moving down the line, Natali was next. "Ah, Natali Fin, Miss Rain," Natali spoke with a bow. "It's a pleasure to meet you." "My, aren’t you a polite one," Sam spoke. Natali blushed. Sam's attention turned to me and when our eyes met, I saw hunger in them. "Oh," Sam walked up towards me. "And who might you be my dear?" "Y/n, Miss Rain," I started. "Y/n L/n." I held out my hand. "It's nice to meet you," I finish. Sam held my hand with both of hers. "The pleasure is all mine, Y/n," Sam spoke. "And please..." Sam leaned towards me. "...call me Sam." I found myself now blushing. "Ok," I whispered.
Falicia clapped her hands together. "Ok, now that everyone has been introduced, how about we get something to eat," Falicia spoke. "It will be my treat as a reward for doing such a good job." “A reward for doing a job that was a punishment for breaking the rules?” I pondered. "Ya, I'm starved," Nika announced. And with that, we all follow Falicia to a food truck. One by one we ordered, once everyone had their food we sat down at a picnic table with an umbrella.
"So, Falicia," Sam muttered. "Hm," Felicia responded. "Why did you have these four cleanings that pool?" Sam asked. "Oh, the four of them decided to have a sausage-eating party in the storage room," Falicia remarked. Falicia just putting that out there, I think shocked all of us. "Oh my," Sam cooed with a giggle while putting her hand in front of her mouth. Sam then put her elbows on the table, intertwined her fingers, and placed her chin on them.
"And was Y/n the one playing the sausage in this party?" Sam asked. I put my right hand behind my head, chuckled, and blushed. Nika was acting like herself now with a 'yes he was' look, Sandra looked embarrassed, and Natali's face was red as red course be. "My oh my," Sam spoke. "Don't be too embarrassed Falicia and I did the same in our younger days." Falicia didn't comment on that matter.
After a couple of minutes, Sam spoke again. "This is nice." Sam took a sip of her drink. "Getting out of the office. Not being buried under stacks of paperwork." Sam calmly stated. "Is there that much going on in the city?" I asked. "Oh yes," Sam replied. "From construction and budgets to city events and new laws." Sam took a bit of her food. After swallowing her food Sam spoke. "And all these new business applications coming in, ah," Sam grunted at the end. "That many huu?" Falicia asked. "Yes," Sam spoke, her voice was still calm but now with irritation.
"Most of them won't get even past the first step," Sam announced. "Why is that?" Falicia asked. "Oh, it's just Marrains who think running a business is a great way of making some Gelons, but don't realize how difficult to run it," Sam answered. Sam leans back and sighs. "And I can't give them any starting funds if they're not going to be an ongoing concern." Sam leans forward again. "The city has been scammed too many times. They apply for the funds, they receive the funds, and then they use the funds for themselves and not for the business."
"Oh, come on, you're not at work so don't-" Falicia started but got interrupted by Samatha. "And some of them are just males trying to get women out of their clothes," Sam added. "Get them out of their clothes?" I asked. "Correct," Sam quickly and calmly answered. "One wants to open a 'nude' restaurant. Another wants to reopen the city's public bath." "Oh, you mean Moonlight Shallows?" Nika inquired. "That be the one," Sam confirmed.
"Moonlight Shallows?" I questioned. "Oh, you haven't heard of it?" Sam asked me. "Ah, no, I just moved here and I'm still learning about the city," I replied. "Oh, well then," Sam started. "Moonlight Shallows was the city's public bathhouse. It was built nearly four hundred rotations ago. At first, it was for both males and females, but the men used it more to watch the women bath and try to get them to join their Wel'on with some of them getting a little handsy." "Co-ed baths and the men using it to their advantage... sounds about right," I mumbled to myself.
"But then the city passed a law separating men and women in public baths because of that." Sam continued. "Now I'm not saying all men are bad but once who have their heads between their legs usually are.” Sam took a sip of her drink again. “And that worked out for most of the bathhouse’s history. The women had most of the bathhouse to themselves while the men had a small section of it because nine out of ten customers were female,” Sam continued. “However, one day a girl found pictures of other girls bathing at Moonlight in her boyfriend’s dresser.” “Oh, things are getting good and bad,” I thought.
“From the angles of the picture the girls should have noticed the cameraman as there was nothing but a wall on that side of the house, but no one said anything,” Samatha added. “After an investigation, they found out a group of guys had somehow replaced part of the wall that separates the men and women with one-way glass without anyone noticing.” The girls all nodded. “This must be a well-known story,” I wondered. “With no evidence of who put that glass there and no males coming forward, they banned all men from the Moonlight Shallows,” Sam stated. “So, after that, the bathhouse stayed women's only up till about ten rotations ago when the terra moved." A sadness came over everyone. I looked around not knowing what was going on and I was too scared to ask.
Nika looked over at me and saw my confusion. "Never heard of a Movement, have you?" Nika whispered. I shook my head. "It's when the terra starts moving irregularly," Samatha spoke. "The terra started to shake violently, along with everything and everyone on it. The shaking caused many buildings to collapse, including Moonlight Shallows." “Ah, a Movement is the same as an earthquake,” I thought. “Wait… how can a floating island have an earthquake?”
"And after the Movement, my predecessor didn't give the bathhouse any funding to rebuild it," Sam added. "Why?" I asked. "Oh, he had an embarrassing moment when he was trying to get males back in the bathhouse, and then when he became the mayor, he cut funding to it." "Can the mayor just cut the funding to a public business?" I asked. "No, but he used loopholes and had some outside help to get it though," Sam answered. "The bathhouse made some Gelon from personal care items, but it wasn't enough to make up the losses funding."
Sam paused for a moment. "And once the Movement hit and Moonlight Shallows was destroyed my predecessor couldn't have been happier." Sam's voice wasn't as calm as it once was. "He then made every excuse in the book as to why the rebuild funding couldn't be used on the bathhouse," Sam added. "And so, the Moonlight Shallows never got fixed." Sadness could be heard in Sam's voice.
I placed my elbow on the table and with my arm pointing upwards rested my head on my hand. "So why not let this guy fix it up?" I asked. "For one, he doesn't even own the building, two, he never put in an estimate for the cleanup and rebuild, and finally three, his new layout has a viewing area for men to watch women as they bath and to top it any and all females who want to use it must join his Wel'on." Sam's calm voice was completely gone now. I could hear her hooves clicking on the ground.
"Ok Sam, take a deep breath," Falicia spoke. "That will only happen in his dreams." "Ya I know," Sam said and took a couple of breaths. "Hey Y/n," Nika started. "Didn't you mention you had a business idea a couple of days ago?" "Oh, do you Y/n?" Sam asked. "Well," I spoke. "I notice how annoying those portable milking machines are, bulky and heavy to move, not very comfortable while being used, and have a tenancy to break... a lot."
"Ya, those are the main complaints about them," Sam added. "From what I hear it's the air pump that always burns out, that's what's causing most of the problems." "I just thought instant of giving everyone a milker, there should be a business where women come to get milk," I explained. "It's a lot better to build one big machine that can milk a couple hundred and have everyone come to it than build a couple hundred small machines and take them to where everyone is."
Sam seems to be pondering the idea. "I think it's an interesting idea," Nika chimed in. "But just like the other males, Y/n's business idea makes women take off their clothes." Nika finished with a smile. I slip off my hand and my head hit the table. After a couple of seconds, I spoke. "Thank you, Nika." Nika just continued to smile and hummed.
"It is interesting," Sam started. "But how would that work?" The question caught me off guard, not because I had no idea, but because it works more or less just like the small milking machines but upscaled. "It's simple actually," I claimed. "A pump creates a vacuum in a pipe system, the pipe system connects to machines similar to the portable ones less the air pump and that's pretty much it. The milking machines will work the same as the portable ones, hook a jug in it, turn it on, and the pulsator will regulate the milk flow."
I sat back thinking if a missed anything. "Oh, I would add a self-cleaning system to the machine instead of it being hand washed every use," I added. "Ok, so you know roughly how the business will operate but how about the financial side of it, how would your business make money?" Sam asked. I thought about it for a second. "I guess the simplest way would be just to charge our customers for the use of our milkers," I answered. "Ether pay per use or maybe a subscription."
"Ok, I see you have a good grasp on it," Sam said. "I was also thinking about adding a server," I announced. "Customers will fill a form, basic stuff name, species, and birth date. This will create an account with the business and the customer will receive the account card." I paused for a moment. "And when the customer goes to get milked, they insert the card into the machine, and the machine links to their account where to will keep track of when they were milked, quantity and quality of the milk, flow rate... maybe, and note if there is something wrong with the milk."
Samatha seems to be pondering the idea again. "There are other things I need to iron out and I'm nowhere ready to show anything for business application," I added. Sam looked like she wanted to say something, but before she could Falicia clapped her hands. "Ok, ok, that's enough about work, businesses, or such," Falicia said. "Let's enjoy our late lunch on a job well done, ok."
After a couple of seconds, everyone nodded in agreement. After 30 minutes or so we were finished eating and cleaned up. "So..." Nika spoke. "What should we do now, go for a swim, go to the gym, or just wander around?" "Umm," Natali mumbled, we turned and looked at her. "There is a concert going on at the north lounge on the Sub-level 5." "Oh, now that sounds like fun," Falicia spoke. "I agree, let's get change and head there," Sam added. We all headed to the changerooms and got changed.
Once changed we all gathered in front of the change rooms. I was surprised at what Natali was wearing. She was a small black t-shirt that showed her underboob with the word 'Shark Attack' in white lettering on it. "Do they know they are sharks or something?" I thought. And she was wearing a pair of short, short jeans, with pockets sticking out the sides, and a baby blue purse. The pockets were longer than the jeans.
Nika and Sandra were wearing the clothes they came in. Falicia had a dark red blouse with pink and purple flowers and a matching knee-length skirt. Samantha was wearing a one-piece dress with long sleeves and cut in the middle showing her entire cleavage down to her belly button. Suddenly I felt a nudge in my side. I turn to see Nika with a big smile. "Looking to add to your Wel'on ah, darling?" Nika cooed. I blushed and gave a nervous chuckle.
"Alright is everyone ready to go?" Falicia asked. "Ya, let's get moving!" Nika shouted. We headed for the elevator on the north side up to level 5. Before we got to the lounge, we could hear music playing, once there I noticed how different this lounge was from the one we saw the Marnonie tournament on. That lounge was flat perfect for the tournament but this lounge had inground round couches potted around the stage, with a light in the middle of it.
(Something like this)
We found an empty one and sat down facing the stage. To my left were Nika and Natali, and to my right were Sandra, Samantha, and Falicia. A band was playing on the stage, there was a singer, a drummer, and two guitarists. "Guess musical instruments aren’t too different here," I mumble. Though I never heard the song they were playing it sounded like soft classical mixed with a little pop music.
After a minute or so the song ended and everyone clapped. As the band left the stage a female wolf walked on with a mic. "Alright, let's hear another round of applause for Strikeout," The female wolf spoke. As instructed, everyone applauded again. "Our next act is a solo performer from the east end, singing the melody 'Hear Me, Marrai,' please put your paws together for... Foxy!" Everyone once again as the announcer left the stage and another one walked on.
As the name subjects, the Marrain carrying a guitar and a stool walked onto the stage and looked like a fox. She had orange-yellow fur, a big bushy tail, pink purplish hair, wearing a red one-piece bodysuit that showed off her belly, her arms, and legs were covered with tan-coloured stockings-looking material, with pieces of... armour on them.

Foxy
"Oh my, I didn't know she was performing here today," Natali spoke. I looked over at Natali she seemed to be very excited about this Marrain. "Are you a fan of hers, Natali?" I asked. Natali blushed and started to tap her index finger together. "Maybe," Natali muttered. Foxy placed and sat on a stool in the middle of the stage then adjusted the mic stand to her liking. She began to strum her guitar. Once she had a slow rhythm going, she started to sing.
"Take me away with the wind that blows, carry me down the hills of snow, take me away as we descend, carry me until the cave's end, hear me Marrai as we are leagues apart, hear me Marrai deep in your loving heart," Foxy sang slowly keeping in tone with her slow rhythm, then she started to hum. It was very soothing. Both Nika and Sandra leaned against me placing their heads on my shoulders, and each one grabbed a hold of one of my hands as we continued to listen.
"Take me away with the tides that roar, carry me with happiness and more, take me away into the unknown, carry me until I'm home, hear me Marrai, and hear my song, hear me Marrai for I have found where I belong," Foxy slowly sang then start to hum again. I found the song soothing but, as I looked around the lounge other Marrains were handing hands, leaning on each other like Nika and Sandra are doing, and some of them were... crying?
I looked over at Falicia and Sam, they were holding hands as well. Sam had even put her free hand on top of the hands they were holding. I then looked at Natali, she was leaning over holding her head up with her hands and had her elbows on her knees. I could see tears running down her face. I looked at Nika and Sandra, their eyes were closed, they were just listening to the song. "This song must hit home," I thought.
I turn my attention back to Foxy as she starts to sing again. "Take me away to travel among the stars, carry me down Marrai's river and heal our scars, take me away in shining light, carry me until the final night, hear me Marrai from your palace above, hear me Marrai the daughter you love," Foxy sang and hummed again.
Foxy repeated the song and once she stopped strumming her guitar it took everyone a couple of seconds to get out of their trance. Slow applause started and got louder and louder. Some Marrain even whistled. "That, that was beautiful Foxy," The announcer stated. Foxy got off her stool and bowed to the crowd, then grabbed her stool and walked off the stage.
"We are going to take a break for 30 minutes, please enjoy the buffa provided by the Golden Feather chefs," The announcer announced. We along with most other Marrains started to get up and headed for the buffa. However, Natali seems to be looking around for some reason. "Natali, is something wrong?" I asked. "Umm," Natali nervously muttered. "I'm looking for Foxy, but I don't see her."
Natali continued to look around. "Why do you want to see Foxy?" I asked. "Umm," Natali nervously muttered again. "I would like... I would like... to get... her, to get her autograph." "Oh, ok," I spoke and started to look around too. I looked through the crowd but didn't see her, searching and searching I still couldn't find Foxy. But just as I turned, I caught a glimpse of pink hair.
I looked in the general direction watching through other Marrain. Soon the crowd parted just enough to make a gap and I saw a Marrain. Orange-yellow fur, big bushy tail with pink purplish hair. "I think I see her!" I announced. "Really?" Natali cheered. "Maybe," I said grabbing Natali's hand. Causing her to blush. "Let's go see." I pulled Natali along over to where I saw Foxy. Once out of the crowd, I could see the Marrain in question. From behind it sure looked like Foxy, she was even carrying something that looked like a guitar case.
She was walking away from the lounge. "She must be done to the day," I stated. "No, I..." Natali started. "I just wanted her autograph." "She isn’t gone yet just need to ask her," I stated pulling Natali along. "Just make sure you have something ready for her to write down on." I walked towards the Foxy with Natali in tow. "Excuse me, Miss Foxy," I spoke. "Hmm," The pink hair Marrain muttered. She stopped and turned around. Sure enough, it was Foxy. "Is there something you need?" Foxy asked.
I stood there and looked at Natali, now how a small book with a pen sticking out the top in her hands. Natali was shaking a lot. "Nervous," I wondered. I placed my hand in the middle of Natali's back and gave her a push. Natali stumbled forward and was not only 3 or so feet from Foxy. Natali's face was red, and she was shaking to the extreme.
"Miss... Miss Foxy," Natali stuttered. Foxy flipped her hair while waiting on Natali. "May I... may I... may I have..." Natali stuttered as she held out her book in a bowing stance. "Have... have your autograph?" Natali stood there bowing waiting for Foxy's answer. Foxy seems to be a little taken aback by the request.
But soon Foxy smiled. "Sure," Foxy said as she grabbed the book from Natali. "Who am I making this out to?" Natali froze, shocked by the question. "Na...Fi... Natafi lin..." Natali stuttered. "Natali Fin," I answered. "Ok," Foxy said and started to write. After a couple of seconds, Foxy finished, placed the pen back in the book, and closed it. "Here you go, Natali," Foxy said as she handed the book back to Natali.
"I... I... thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you," Natali said repeating herself bowing with every 'thank you.' "You know," Foxy spoke. "You are the first one to ask for my autograph." Natali seems shocked at the fact she was the first one. "So it is not you who should be thanking me," Foxy stood up properly as she spoke. "It is me who should be thanking you." Foxy bowed at the end.
Natali was shocked or frozen or both at the fact Foxy bowed to her. "I... I... I," Natali stuttered and stepped back. Natali began to lose her balance. "Natali?" I spoke. Natali fell backwards I acted quickly and hooked my arms under hers. I looked down at Natali, her face was beet red, and she was warm. "I think this began too much for her," I said. I lifted Natali up and picked her up princess-style.
"I... I... I... I...," Natali mumbled over and over again. "Haha," I chuckled. "Thank you Foxy, I think you made her the happiness Marrain alive." Foxy giggled. "I guess so, thank you for attending, and have a pleasant evening," Foxy spoke and then bowed again. "You as well, Foxy," I said with a nod. Foxy turned and walked away, I turned and headed back to our couch carrying Natali.
Once there I lay, Natali, down on the couch. "I... I... I...," Natali continued to mumble. I take a seat and wait for the girls to return. It was starting to get dark and the lights in the middle of the couches started to turn on. The lights made me think of campfires scattered around a campground. "Ah, there you are," I heard from my right. I turn to see Nika and Sandra with Falicia and Samantha trailing behind.
Nika starts walking down the stairs when she notices Natali. Nika stopped and looked at Natali for a couple of seconds. "Um, what happen to Natali?" Nika finally asked. "She met her idol," I answered. Nika looked unsure of what I meant but just shrugged and took her seat. For the next couple of hours, we sat and listened to music. Some bands were pretty good, and others were less good.
After the last band was finished, we headed back to the elevator to leave the plaza. Natali had woken up from passing out and was more embarrassed that she passed out in front of her idol. As we exited the plaza, we saw a large crowd of Marrains waiting for buses, as well as, a traffic jam of vehicles trying to get out of the parking lot.
The girls talked about different performances and what they thought of them. Then a felt a tap on my shoulder. I look over my shoulder to see Sam standing there. "May I have a word with you, Y/n?" Sam asked. "Ah, sure, is there something on your mind?" I asked. "It's about your business idea. If you go on the city's website, under business application, you'll find a list of things you need on the application to get it past the first step, like the name, type, products, estimated customer base, etc." Sam rhythmed off. "Oh, also may I see your phone?"
I was surprised by the question. "Um, sure?" I questioned. I got out my phone and handed it to Sam. Sam started to tap on the screen. "I just want to give you my number," Sam spoke. After a couple of taps, Sam held the phone up and away from her, and then the sound of a picture being taken came from my phone. "Just so you know who's calling.”
Sam handed my phone back to me. "Samantha our bus is here!" Falicia yelled. "Oh, guess I got to go," Sam spoke. But before she left Sam put her hands on my shoulder and her mouth to my ear. "Don't hesitate to call if you need assistance for an-y-thing," Sam cooed and blew air into my ear. "Okay," I whispered blushing.
Samantha then headed for the bus, joined by Falicia and Natali. "Bye, see you later," Nika yelled. "Save a trip home," I added. Sandra, Nika, And I waved at them as they left. "Our bus should be here soon," Nika spoke. "So, what were you and Miss Rain talking about, Y/n?" "She told me where to get more info on the business application and gave me her number to call if I need help," I explained. "Oh sure," Nika giggled. "Just for help, right." Eventually, our bus pulled out, and we boarded and headed back home.
