Chapter 2 : Sweet Dreams are made of these
"You're Zoie, Rick and Ksenia." the brunette said looking at then in disbelief.
Lauren looked at the brunette and then Trick, her eyes questioning.
"Oh dear." the Blood king muttered.
"Joey who?" Kenzi says as she jumps off the bar stool.
"Zzzo-wee. With a Z". the brunette's brow furrowed.
"Trick do you know anything about this?" Lauren said worried.
He nodded. "I may have an idea and it's not good news."
"Then spill it B-King!" Kenzi's attention now turned to Trick. Then she chuckles. "B-King like Burger King."
A smug smile crossed the petite girl's lips. Trick raised his eyebrows.
"You know, Have it your way. Get it? 'Coz you're the blood king?" Kenzi runs her hands on the bar back and forth, her thumbs meeting at the center. She usually does when she gets uncomfortable, Trick had noticed.
Trick looks at her, rolls his eyes and smiles a bit.
"Fine. Don't laugh at my jokes 'coz I know they're super funny!" she widens her eyes as she emphasizes the word super.
"Trick." Lauren tapped on the bar with her hand impatiently. "What happened?"
The brunette had remained quiet, apparently confused.
"This person isn't Bo." the blood king said.
"What?" Lauren and Kenzi screamed in unison. Then a barrage of questions from the two who had spoken in unison and in a panic, followed.
"Then where is she?"
"Dude, How the hell do we find her?"
"How did this happen, Trick?"
"How do we know this isn't Bo-Bo?"
"Trick we must hurry! Bo might be in danger!"
"Alright, alright! Just calm down and follow me." Trick motioned them to the back room.
"Wait hold on, hold on!" the brunette interjects. "Are you kidding me? Guys, stop fooling around, okay? We all know we're already behind schedule. Where's Steve and the others? Why aren't we setting up already?"
Kenzi gaped at the brunette. "What are you talking about? Gibberish much?"
"Ksenia?" the brunette said in disbelief. "I know you said you wanted to rehearse but, seriously?"
"Yep! This one's not Bo-Bo." she says turning to Trick. "Waaaay too prim and proper. And... craaayyyy..." saying the last word inaudibly in between her teeth in a sing-song voice and rolls her eyes.
"I totally heard that!" the brunette frowned. "Come on stop playing already. This isn't funny anymore."
"Hey, I may be all kinds of funny... most of the time... but I'm not being funny right now, lady." Kenzi glares at the brunette. Whoever this woman is, she's not liking her one bit. It's bad enough that she had replaced Bo, but she can't bare this woman's high and mighty demeanor.
"Look, let's just stop this and get on with the shoot, okay." the brunette sighed.
Kenzi exaggeratedly rolled her eyes and glared at the brunette again. She briskly motioned for the basement and prances toward its entrance. Before going down the stairs, she looks at Lauren who looks torn between following Trick and Kenzi to the basement or consoling the brunette.
"Well? Are you coming?" the petite raven haired human mouthed.
The blonde looks at the brunette then back to her.
"I'll be right behind you." she nods.
"Okay, whatever, hot-pants." she trots down the stairs her heels loudly clicking on the wooden planks.
Lauren turns to the brunette who is looking agitated now. For a brief moment she thought of how to approach her. It's quite obvious that she's skeptic about the whole situation. And Lauren doesn't want to stress her further. She approached the stranger cautiously. Stranger? This woman looks like her Bo, speaks the same as Bo, and yet she doesn't feel like Bo. Lauren knows her girlfriend all too well - her bio-chemical anatomy, even - that though physically someone could look like Bo, she would always recognize her even if she was in another body.
She cleared her throat before speaking.
"Look ummm..." she says, not really knowing how to approach the woman.
The brunette's brows furrows but she smiles "Zo, I get the prank. Now lets get started shall we. We have to run through the script and this scene I have to rehearse with you again. Sam's got me exhausted last night because he couldn't sleep so I'm a bit on edge today."
Lauren lowered her gaze and shakes her head. "Too much information." she thinks to herself. "Why don't we just go to the basement first and then talk there?"
Without saying a word, the brunette sighs and put her hands up in a surrender. It's obvious these bunch wouldn't let up unless she let's them finish the prank. She's now wondering if Emily, Jay and the gang is also in this.
Lauren opens to door to the basement and waits for the brunette to follow. Descending the stairs they see Trick placing a huge old book on his table. Kenzi had already sat on the table, waiting for them.
"Wow! They've redesigned? This looks like the real Dal. Well at least how I pictured it to be. Nice touch!" the brunette looked around, touching an old sword that is hanging on the wall. It looks so real. She then runs her hand along the line of old books in the shelf, amazed at the efforts of the artists. She always adored these artists' efforts. "This is a surprise indeed!"
Trick smiled. He understands the reaction of the brunette. Denial is the first human reaction to this situation. Lauren takes a chair from the corner and places it near the table next to Trick.
"Here, sit down." she says, determined to make their guest a bit more comfortable.
"Sure I'll just sit back and watch the show." the brunette smirks.
Lauren chuckled at the snide comment but decides not address it. She stands next to Trick who is busy leafing through the pages of the old book. In a hurry, but being careful not to rip the delicate pages. He stopped halfway through turning a page and turns back to the previous page.
"Here it is." he rests a finger on the book.
"In Signantes?" Lauren asked "The Sealing."
Trick nods. "At the end of each century, A council of light and dark fae mages called the Paenulam are tasked to reinforce the force field of this world. This ritual have been decreed since the imprisonment of Odin. When he was captured, he was so strong that the only way to imprison him was to tap into the energy of the force field of this world." Trick explains. "And in order to continue to imprison him they must continually feed his prison with the force field's energy." Trick translated the words that were written in "Klingon" as Kenzi put it.
"Wait. Wait. Wait." Kenzi interjects. "Can you speak human? Coz like, for realzies I have no friggin' idea what you just said." Kenzi looks at the brunette, who remained silent. Raising an eyebrow, she whispers. "Also for her, 'coz I doubt she's as science-y as you both." satisfied, she nods.
Lauren takes a deep breath and smiles.
"It's like this. Imagine the prison is your iPod. And there's a particular app on your iPod that needs to run on full power. And in order for it to run, you have to frequently or constantly recharge it."
"Ah!" Kenzi clapped her hands so loud, that the brunette jumped a little. "I get it!"
Lauren looks at the brunette, questioning. The brunette nods, indicating that she understood.
"So, what am I here again?" the brunette asks.
"If my hypothesis is right, when Odin broke from this prison, the energy had backfired into the force-field inflicting a wound on the force-field that connected both your world and ours." Lauren explains mostly to the brunette, thinking that the brunette had realized that she's not in her own word. "Both you and Bo must have been in the same place of the wound at the same time, that you somehow managed to switch worlds. But I'm not sure yet. This was a theory of one of my mentors two years ago."
"No Lauren, you could be right." I have heard of this theory before. Madman Jones, they called him. He spoke of extreme power that could bridge to impossible worlds. No one believed him." Trick shake his head. "I should have known."
The brunette looks at them in disbelief.
"Well how do we fix this, Trickster?" Kenzi asks. "Is there anything there in your book? Some voodoo dance we could perform to get Bo-Bo back?"
The blood king inhaled deeply. "No Kenzi I'm afraid this has never happened before. No one knows how to fix it."
The brunette rolled her eyes. "Really? What are you getting at here exactly? I mean if this is a joke, the punch-line's taking too long."
The three looks at her, not sure what to say. They look so serious that the brunette's heart skips a beat. She denies the feeling of panic. Instead she stands up and starts for the door.
"I'm heading out for a while. I need to check on Sam." she puts a hand in her pocket and fumbles for her phone. "Where the hell is my phone?" she whispers to herself angrily. She shrugs and proceeds to walk up the stairs, and out the door.
Lauren sighs. "I'll handle this Trick. Please call me if you find anything at all that might be able to help us. And call Dyson. He needs to know about this."
Trick nods as he sits down and opens another book. Lauren hurriedly walks up the stairs to catch up with the brunette.
"I'll take her home." says the blonde quietly. "She must be exhausted from all this. She's mentioned this to me a few days ago. I just think she needs a bit of rest. I just think she needs a few days off."
"I understand." he nods in agreement. "Should I call for him to pick her up?"
"No, I can take her. I brought my car anyway."
He nodded as the blonde turns and walks to Bo.
"I'll take you home." she said. "We'll figure things out from there."
The brunette nods as she leads Bo to her black 2014 BMW 640i gran coupe.
The drive home was eerily silent. The blond did not attempt to talk to her. Bo didn't mind. She had told her that she needed to go back to the crack shack. The blonde obliged and told her it would be a few hours drive so she could sleep if she wanted to. The day had stressed her out completely and feeling the hunger of her inner succubus, she welcomed the idea of sleep.
"Hey Bo-bo!" the raven haired Russian greeted her at the door. "We gots pizza! Hot pants ordered Thai too. Come on!"
"Hey, Kenz!" pulling Kenzi into a tight hug. "You don't know how happy I am to see you!"
"Mmmm.. yeah. Woah! Owwww! Easy there succuface! BO-zheh moy!" Kenzi grimaces as she pulls away from the succubus. Uttering the last words in thick Russian. "I get it! You miss me!" her eyes widens as she raised both hands between her and the succubus. "Now come on inside, you lady lurve is waiting for yah!"
Hearing this, Bo brushes past Kenzi to find Lauren, leaving her BFF gaping at her in disbelief. She finds the blonde sitting on the couch, watching Animal Planet while drinking chardonnay which she assumed is one of Kenzi's plunders from Trick's stash.
"Hey babe." she says scooting beside the blonde and planting a light kiss on her cheek.
The blond smelled of sweet wine, and she flushed red. But Bo noticed a change in her color as she kissed her. Her cheeks turned crimson as she sheepishly smiles and lowers her gaze to the glass she's holding. Her fingers fidgeting on the glass' rim. Bo noticed her aura swirling unusually to a nine tonight. She loved it.
"Right!" the petite Russian made Bo jump a little as she plops down on the small couch in front of them. "Just ignore me, I'm just gonna sit here and watch Animal Planet. It's not like there's a difference to THAT..." she points to the TV which showed a lioness whipping her tail while she passes a lion. "...and THIS anyway." she says motioning her hands in an exaggerated fashion toward the two. She groans and takes a large bite of a pizza slice, leaving the entire slice dangling in her mouth while she chews. Then she hastily picked up the remote and presses the buttons in random. Bo chuckles as Lauren opens and the closes her mouth several times, trying to find the words to say.
"Come on." Bo stands up and offers a hand. "I need to talk to you anyway. Let's go upstairs." she turns to Kenzi she rolls her eyes. "We'll be back and we can start the movie night, alright?"
"Sure." Kenzi mouthed. "Take your time! We'll start the movie night in three days!" she snaps as she takes the last bite of pizza and settled for HBO.
"And what better way to drown out the vehement sounds of Succusex than Mother of Dragons sex!" Kenzi shouts as she turns up the volume. "Better this, than lions." she mumbles, taking two slices of triple cheese and pepperoni pizza and pressing the two slices together like a sandwich. Taking a large bite, she looks at Bo innocently.
Bo rolls her eyes and pulls Lauren up leading her to the stairs.
"So what's up?" Lauren asks her as Bo reached our to open the door to her room. The glass that was held loosely to the doors wooden frame clatters as she opens it. Taking both the blonde's hand, she leads Lauren inside.
Smiling she says " I have a lot to tell you. Crazy things happened to me today. Your geeky-doctor self would not believe it." she says backing up to the bed. Feeling the bed behind her legs, she sits down and pulls the blonde to her. The blonde laughs as she straddles the brunette and wraps her arms around her neck.
"Really?" Lauren raises an eyebrow.
"Really." Bo answers. "But I've missed you."
"I've missed you too, babe." the blonde kisses her gently. She sends butterfly kisses on the tip of Bo's nose, her eye lids, trailing down back to her lips. The succubus shudders at the touch of her lips. Wrapping her arms around the doctor's slender waist, she pulls her as close as she can until their bodies melded. She then moves to kiss her. The blonde's slender fingers tangled themselves around her brown locks. She moans into her lover's mouth as she feels her grip tightening. Feeling the urgency of Lauren's kisses and the heat swirling around them, she deepens her kiss and pulled back, a trail of blue smoke swirling out from the blonde's mouth. She had never tasted Lauren like this. A sweet, hot and fulfilling, like a strong liquor. She drew in as much as she could take, closing her eyes and tilting her head back. She could feel the blonde's short breaths as blunt nails dug into her shoulders. The blonde gasps, willing herself to speak, but nothing came out. Bo could feel her own body strengthening was the blonde weakens.
"Bo stop!" Kenzi's voice snapped her out of her dark ecstasy. "Bo stop it! You're killing her!"
Her eyes opened revealing a bluish white glow. A pair of hazel brown eyes stares blankly back at her. The blonde in front of her, now slowly, weakly gasping for air, her hand gripping the steering wheel of her black 2014 BMW 640i gran coupe.

Yes I know it's confusing. Have patience as I will upload the next chapter soon. I'll give you a one word hint though for those who were confused. "Zoie"
