(I didn't really want to start another new story but when I saw that there were 299 Bubblegum Crisis stories I just couldn't resist making this story number 300. I have been wanting to do this story for years and finally am starting.)
Slowly Priss opened her eyes squinting against the sunlight in her eyes and the hang over pounding on her head. She dimly remembered the party at Sylia's the night before to celibrate Linna's birthday but little more than that. Slowly she started to sit up only to feel an arm fall across her lap. She looked down at the arm and smiled when she saw the diamond ring on the finger of the hand.
"Finally," She thought, "I finally asked Linna to be mine forever."
She traced her fingers along the arm until she came to long strands of silvery hair. She quickly jumped out of the bed and backed up to the wall as she looked at Sylia who was still sleeping in the bed looking completely at ease.
"Oh shit, what have I done?"
Priss quickly went for her clothes that were scattered across the floor of Sylia's bedroom mixed with Sylia's clothes and began getting dressed.
"Leaving already?" Sylia asked in a sleepy voice.
Priss froze as she looked into Sylia's eyes. She was slowly sitting up letting the covers fall off of her breasts and smiled at Priss before looking at her hand.
"Oh and I thought it was a dream, a good dream but a dream none the less."
"What did I do last night?" Priss asked with her back against the wall.
"You asked me to marry you before you kissed me."
"What about Linna?"
Sylia moaned and stretched kicking the rest of the covers off of her nude body and stood up walking towards Priss who was pressing herself harder against the wall. Sylia placed her hands on each side of Priss' head and told her that Linna had left rather quickly after Priss placed the ring on her hand. She leaned in to kiss her but Priss pulled away from Sylia and continued getting dressed.
"I have to go." She said grabbing he jacket that was laying next to the door. "I have to tell Linna that I made a mistake.
Priss ran out of the bedroom still trying to put on her jacket leaving Sylia standing in the middle of the room completely nude. Sylia stood there smiling for a second before throwing a robe on and sat on the side of the bed. She removed the ring that was a little too small for her and set it on the night stand before picking up the phone and dialing.
"It me," She said, "The eagle has left the building and is heading for the nest.
She laughed as she hung up the phone before laying back in the bed with the robe falling open revieling her body to the empty room.
Priss gunned her bike as hard as she dared with her hangover heading for Linna's small apartment only miles away form Sylia's. She had to tell Linna that she had made a mistake and that she loved her. Her thoughts were coming in a whirlwind as Linna's apartment came into view and started getting off her bike even before it had come to a stop laying it on its side right behind Linna's car. The let her helmet fall to the ground as she ran through the doors to the apartment complex and ran up the stairs reaching for the key that Linna had given her shortly after they began dating.
She pushed the door of the apartment and stood in the living room as if she had never been there before. The apartment was a wreck, the CD's were thrown all over the living room and the poster of Priss' first concert was laying in pieces on the floor. Priss slowly walked through the apartment and found Linna standing in her bedroom tearing up all of the letters that Priss had written her over the years with tears in her eyes. She stopped in the middle of ripping one of the letters when she saw Priss standing in the doorway.
"Linna I…"
"What the fuck do you want?" Linna snapped swaying a little.
"Baby I made…
"Baby?" Linna snapped, "You are calling me baby after last night?"
"I didn't know what I was doing. I was drunk."
"Sure Priss blame it on the fucking beer!" Linna screamed. "Here you want some beer?"
She grabbed a bottle of beer off of the dresser in front of her and threw hard smashing it against the wall showering Priss in glass and beer. A few shards of the glass peppered Priss' cheek cutting into her skin. She turned her head from the pain but snapped it back looking at Linna with tears in her eyes. She had never seen Linna angry before and it hurt her to know that she was the cause of Linna's anger.
Priss slowly stepped towards Linna as the tears started to fall from her eyes and reached out with trembling hands. As she neared her girlfriend Linna lashed out slapping Priss several time across the cheeks and screaming incoherently. All Priss could do to protect herself was to cover her head with her arms and fall to her knees and Linna slapped and screamed for almost a minute before falling to he knees next to her.
"I'm so sorry Linna." Priss said wrapping her arms around her. "It was a mistake."
She started kissing Linna on the back of the head and lifted her head so that Linna was looking at her then began to kiss her on the lips. For a minute Linna let her but then pushed her away hard making Priss fall on her back.
"You fucking bitch!" Linna screamed. "Do you think I am gonna forget that you fucking asked Sylia to be your partner for life after I have given mine to you for three God damn years?"
Priss slowly sat up and looked at Linna with shock clearly written across her face. Linna had never acted like this before and given the circumstances Priss couldn't blame her. Priss got to her feet and slowly took a step towards Linna only to be shoved back again this time sending her crashing to the floor hard enough to rattle her bones.
"Get the fuck out of my house! And stay the fuck away from me!"
Priss scrambled back to her feet and backed away from Linna in genuine fear. Both woman were crying as Priss backed down the hallway several staps before turning around and running towards the door leaving a trail of tears in her wake. Linna stood in the middle of her room amongst the broken glass and torn papers swaying until she was sure that Priss was gone before fixing her hair and walking casually to the phone.
"Ok start phase two." She said before hanging up the phone and looked around the room.
She took a ragged breath as she thought about everything she had said to Priss and started crying again, only this time they were real tears.
"God Priss, why dose it have to be like this?"
