... It's been a while...


" Now how the hell did that happen?"

Cheeky Fairy shrugged in response to Marley's question, taking a sip from the bottle of beer clutched in her hand. " Apparently they found out the had much in common." she pointed out, leaning back on her bar stool and kicking her legs out in a child-like manner.

Marley frowned in disbelief, swiping the bottle from the tutu-clad bohemian and taking a long swig from it before handing it back." With each other?" she snorted, wrinkling her nose.

The two women turned to stare at the couple seated together at the far end of the bar. Two blonds sat in deep conversation; the woman threw her head back and laughed raucously as she suddenly climbed onto the man's lap, her thick hair rustling and flashing with the many beads and feathers laced through it. The man face looked momentarily shocked before relaxing into a crooked grin, allowing the woman to take his dark sunglasses off of his head and stick them over her eyes.

Marley shook her head slowly. " Miss Loaf and the ex-Commander of the Secret Police. You have to admit... it's an unlikely combination."

" I don't know," Cheeky replied " I mean, look at Galileo and Scaramouche."

Marley nodded, stretching to rap her arm around Cheeky's shoulders. " I guess you're right."

They sat in silence for a few moments before Cheeky piped up. " I think it's actually quite romantic."

" You think everything's romantic." Marley scoffed, rolling her eyes.

" I can't help it, I have a naturally wistful imagination!"

" So what, I just spout out a bunch of mushy words and get a one way ticket to your pants?" Marley cackled, poking Cheeky in the arm.

The other girl let out a huff, crossing her arms over her chest, though she said nothing. Marley nearly choked with laughter when she noticed the pink blush staining her cheeks.

" Hah! It is true!" she laughed.

" Shut up!"
