Vanilla logged on to her computer. Skype started up automatically. Cream was in bed, so she would not be bothering her, fortunately. Vanilla saw that her friend, whose username was Queen Amos, was online. Vanilla's own username was VanillaR. She didn't use the internet all that much, so she didn't feel the need to use much imagination. Vanilla began to message her.
VanillaR: Hello, Amos.
Nea was tucking her daughter, Demitra into bed, seeing that she had fallen asleep. She kissed her child on the head when she herd her computer chime, alerting her that her friend, VanillaR was online on Skype. Her name was Queen Amos for a many reasons, but we won't get into them. She smiled and answered her friend.
Queen Amos: Good Evening, Ms. Rabbit.
Vanilla smiled. She liked her friend Amos for many reasons, though... Though she also sort of wanted her as more than a friend. Vanilla blushed at the thought. She had able to... Admire both genders, though the last and only time she had been with someone was the man who fathered Cream... Though he had gone missing years ago, before Cream could ever know him. However, no matter how selfish it seemed to her, she needed someone new. She needed to move on.
VanillaR: I was hoping we could meet. In person.
Nea felt a bit of the same way about Vanilla. Though, she wasn't fully sure. She was once married to the man who had done so much for her. He was even Demitra's father. Nea looked at the picture by her computer. It was of her and a male wolverine with robotic arms. In her arms in the picture was baby Demitra, who was only months old at the time. Nea's husband died when their child was only three. So she wouldn't remember him much. She looked at the new message that VanillaR sent her and blushed.
Queen Amos: Really? When? Where?
Vanilla thought for a good place to meet, thinking for a bit before reaching an idea.
VanillaR: How about the park? I'll be sitting on the bench on the southernmost side. I'll send you my picture, so you know who to look for.
Vanilla then sent a picture of herself to Amos.
Nea smiled at her friend's image. She sent one to Rabbit. Vanilla liked the image of Amos. She looked really beautiful to her.
Queen Amos: Okay then. What time?
VanillaR: How about as soon as possible? Maybe in a half hour so we can ready ourselves first.
Nea giggled. She looked at the time. it was only 5:34.
Queen Amos: Okay. I'll see you then.
VanillaR: Okay.
Vanilla went to her closet, and chose her favorite dress. She removed what she was wearing, and put on the new dress. She applied lipstick and a little bit of makeup to make herself presentable, and she went to the livingroom. She left a note for Cream, just in case, and left the house, making sure to lock up. She went to the park.
Nea smiled and rummaged through her closet for something to wear. She found a dress, but a lot different from Vanilla's and fixed up her hair. She knew that Demitra knew the rules while she was home alone. She kissed her daughter's head again and left for the park.
Vanilla went to the southernmost park bench, and sat down. A man, who seemed to be the shady sort, walked over.
"It's not safe to be out here alone." He said.
"I'm perfectly fine, thank you." Vanilla replied. The man flipped out a switch blade.
"I don't think you understand what I meant." The man said, threatening her with said blade. "Now, if you were to give me a little money, the world would be a safer place for you. Kapeesh?"
Nea just happened to be arriving when the man threatened Vanilla. She used her most unique ability, which was literally turning invisible. She slowly started to make her way over to do what she could.
Vanilla was now scared. Shaking, she slowly reached for her wallet, when she realised she had not brought it with her. She had no money to give the man. "Hurry up. Or do you want to find yourself 90% more dead?"
Nea's eyes widened at the man's words. She acted fast and held his hand that was holding the knife to his side. Once it was, she pressed a knife she carried to his chin.
"Make one move..." She started, and turned visible. "...And it'll be your last." Both Vanilla and the man were too stunned to move.
"Urg... How did you do that?" he tried to ask. "It is no concern of yours." Nea said. She took the blade from the man and shoved him away from Vanilla.
"Leave." She ordered. The man quickly fled.
"You must be Queen Amos." Vanilla said. "It's me, VanillaR. Thank you so much for saving my life..." Vanilla bowed to show her appreciation. Nea turned to her with a smile. She put the knives away somewhere on her dress and bowed back, holding her dress a bit.
"It is a pleasure to meet you." She said. "And think nothing of this. I was just simply doing what was right."
Vanilla smiled. "Still, that man might have killed me if you had not intervened... You see, I had not brought my money with me... And... Um, I would prefer not to think about if he found that out." She explained.
Nea raised her hand for Vanilla to stop. "Please." She said. "I understand. If it were the other way around, I probably wouldn't have been as fortunate." Vanilla now really didn't want to think about it.
"Please, Ms. Amos, have a seat." Vanilla suggested.
"Thank you." Nea said. "But, please, call me Nea." She smiled at Vanilla and took a seat next to her.
"Okay, Nea." Vanilla said, smiling. "It's nice to talk to you... In person."
"As is the same to you, VanillaR." Nea said. She smiled and examined Vanilla's body. She liked what she saw, but felt a bit awkward about it.
"P-please, just call me Vanilla." Vanilla said, nervous from Nea checking her out, as she wasn't sure if Nea liked her body or not. Vanilla most definitely liked Nea's, which caused her to blush.
Nea giggled at Vanilla's name. "Vanilla?" She said. "Such a delici-...Uh...I mean...unique name." Nea blushed at what she said and kinda looked away from Vanilla. Vanilla also looked away in embarrassment, blushing heavily.
"Er... Th-thank y-you." She stuttered.
Nea blushed as she looked away from Vanilla. There was a short amount of silence between the two for a short while. Nea broke it with the first question she could think of.
"So..." She started. "A-Are you married, V-Vanilla?"
"I... No, I'm not married." Vanilla responded.
"Ah." Nea said. "So I take it you don't have children either?"
"Well... I do have a daughter." Vanilla replied. She would have brought that up in the online discussions, but Nea never asked.
"Really?" Nea asked, sounding interested. "I have a daughter as well. Her name's Demitra."
Vanilla smiled. "That is a lovely name. My daughter's name is Cream." Nea giggled a bit. She for some reason expected that.
"That's adorable." She said. She looked over at the horizon at the setting sun. She stood up and smiled at Vanilla.
"Shall we take a walk?" She asked. "Probably continue our conversation while we do."
Vanilla smiled and stood up. "That would be lovely." She responded. Nea smiled and started walking with her. She started telling Vanilla all about Demitra as they did. Vanilla listened to Nea as she talked about her daughter. She also talked about her own daughter, Cream. Nea smiled as they talked. She looked up at the moon. Her eyes lit up in the light of it as she sighed at its beauty. Vanilla's eyes looked at the moon as well. Her hand happened to rest on Nea's. Nea felt Vanilla's hand on her's and remembered when her and her husband would have nights like this. She continued to get lost in the moon and ended up holding Vanilla's hand. Vanilla blushed, and looked at Nea's bright eyes. They were beautiful. Nea looked back and blushed at Vanilla. Vanilla then got lost in Nea's eyes. She found herself leaning forward. Nea continued to blush. Vanilla kissed Nea lightly. Nea felt herself holding Vanilla's cheek and closing her eyes as they kissed. Vanilla continued to blush, but at the same time, really, really enjoyed this. Nea enjoyed this just as much. She started to hold Vanilla close and continued the kiss. Vanilla held Nea as well as she also continued the kiss. She was really falling for her. Nea ended the kiss after a bit and started to catch her breath. She smiled at Vanilla and continued to hold her.
Vanilla looked back. "That was... Magical..." She commented.
"Y-Yes." Nea said. She was still smiling and could feel her hands shaking for some reason.
Vanilla smiled. "Perhaps we can meet up tomorrow, set up both a real and play date for us and our daughters, respectively." She suggested.
"That would be lovely." Nea said. "Demitra loves meeting new people to play with."
Vanilla nodded. "Then it's settled." Nea smiled and started to walk while holding Vanilla's hand. Vanilla smiled. She was now deeply in love with Nea. Nea was starting to feel the same way. But, she wasn't fully sure. She smiled at Vanilla and started humming as they walked. Vanilla happened to know the tune as well, and hummed with her. Nea smiled as she did and kissed er blushed and smiled. She continued to walk.
Nea looked at the bracelet she wore which was actually a watch and checked the time. "8:40 already?" She said. "My, it didn't even seem that long we've been gone."
"Well... Time flies when we're together, I guess." Vanilla said. "I suppose you could walk me home?"
"Of course." Nea said. "I wouldn't be able to sleep at night, wondering if that man had come back for you."
"I appreciate your concern." Vanilla noted. "Thank you." Nea nodded and started to take Vanilla home. Vanilla held her hand the entire way. This was an amazing new experience for her, in a way. Nea was happy for the moment. She could feel a positive future coming. She soon got Vanilla home and wished her a good night. "Good night to you too, Nea." Vanilla said. She gave her a quick kiss before going inside. Nea smiled at the kiss and started back for home. Vanilla went inside, and changed into her pajamas. She went to her bed, and swiftly fell asleep, and had pleasant dreams of Nea.
