"But is she cute?'
"How does she look like?"
"Does she make you crazy about her?"
"Have you done it yet?"
Ashley had to laugh at the bombardment of questions that came from three excited voices on the other end of her video call. "Chill, you three. One at a time. You know how you three are when you get excited." Ashley chided gently, rolling her eyes at three expectant, blue eyes on her laptop. "Yes, she's beautiful, yes and no. And don't even think about it, Jen." Ashley warned the eldest triplet without ceasing her daily pull- ups. Jennifer Dawn Constantine pouted, hating the fact that her sister knew her too well to know she was about to start calling out on her old monikers that related to her player days. The other two triplets stifled a laugh, before opening their mouths to ask at once the questions every time she met a girl, but Ashley beat them to the chase. "No, No and Yes. You three know well by now that I like going slow, especially in my condition. She's special, and I want us to be the type that could be a fairytale. Laugh all you want, Wild child, but… well I can't explain it any better then saying that I think I found "The One." My imprint, my mate for life… Cue Beauty and the Beast theme song. Gah… I'm getting mushy…" Ashley said of herself as she dropped down to the floor in a push-up position and started her sets of push-ups. Regina chose this time to come peek into Ashley's room, and was amused at the exchange between the woman she fell for and three identical faces on Ashley's web screen. "Your Majesty. You need me for something?" Ashley asked without ceasing her push-ups, before looking up at a slightly flustered brunette. Regina couldn't help but love the sight of a sweat covered, military looking blonde, when she noticed the scars and tattoos, as well as the three faces that looked like they were stunned and wanted an explanation. "Quit gaping, you three. This is Regina Mills, formerly known as the Evil Queen, and my love interest. 'Gina, These three are my rascals of little sisters. Yes, they are identical triplets. The one in the middle is HRH Jennifer Dawn Constantine, on the left is HRH Alexandra Beth Constantine and the other is HRH Kimberly Ann Constantine." Ashley introduced, before shooting up a hand in a stop sign in the direction of her laptop. "Not a peep from you. Don't even think about it if you want to celebrate your anniversaries, Your Highnesses." Ashley chided, sending a glance over her shoulder at three indignant princesses, who huffed at the same time and pouted the famous Constantine pout, which Ashley rolled her eyes at. "Don't think it will work on me. Mind you, you girls have been using that pout since you wanted a mushy brown teddy and wanted to name it Ace. Now shoo, I'm busy." Ashley shooed, sticking out her tongue at her three pouty little sisters as they ended the video call. Turning around, Ashley wiped the sweat off her form and proceeded to remove her work out gloves as she walked over to the brunette and gently claim her lips. "Hi you." Ashley softly said, holding the brunette as gently as she could, trying to remember her strength. She had been intensely training with her grandfather's mentor, Sir Mantra, and it was getting a little easier to control how she held things, but her mind knew she had more to learn before she could reduce the lessons. Her body ached, and her mind was exhausted, but as she held Regina in her arms, she remembered why it was all worth it. For Regina, she encouraged herself as she smiled down and touched her forehead to the other woman's. "Um…. 'Gina? Have dinner with me this Friday?" Ashley hesitantly asked, biting her lip as a grin appeared on Regina's face. "Are you asking me out on a date, Miss Grey? Because if you know, I just might need to think about it." Regina teasingly said, before grinning as Ashley rolled her eyes and gently claimed her lips. "You know you love me too much to do that, Your Majesty." Ashley's voice took a sultry tone as she dropped her pitch a octave. Regina's eyes darkened slightly with desire, before grinning as she was gently tossed on the bed with a now hungry blonde. "Sorry." Ashley mumbled, placing a kiss on Regina's lips and pulling back and keeping her appetite in control. The other change was coming on, the one where she went full princess, and plunder every woman in sight. Ashley coughed and checked that her eyes were the right color before wrapping her arms around Regina's waist and snuggling, careful not to hurt her. Regina looked up at Ashley as they snuggled, and for the first time, she noticed the long, jagged scar that stretched around the blonde's eye and down her cheek. "How did you get this scar, dear?" Regina asked, tracing it with her finger, sending a shiver of desire down Ashley's spine. Damn anniversaries…. Ashley inwardly grumbled, knowing that part of her was programed to send her hormones on high during this time of the year. " Dear? Ashley, You have not yet answered me…" Regina urged, snapping Ashley back into the moment. "Sorry, umm a fight. I was in a fight." Ashley vaguely said, knowing that it was partially true, but didn't tell her that she was fighting her aunt, trying to save an innocent's life. Regina knew that Ashley was hiding something, but was distracted when one of Ashley's sisters came in. "KIM! How many times have I taught you that knocking was a polite way of saying 'I'm coming in?' what if I was busy, hmmm? And no, I'm not doing it this year. Em or Jess can do it." The youngest triplet pouted, before going up to her sister and nuzzling into her. "Please? Pretty pretty please? With lots and lots of whipped cream on top?" Kim whined, giving Ashley her best version of the Constantine puppy pout. "Kim… come on… can I not do it this year? Can't Jess do it? She is the second most sought after player after me. I mean you've seen her dance to 'Ayo Technology'." Ashley said in Tasma, making Kim shake her head and pout before mumbling that she wanted her favorite artist to perform. Ashley melted under her puppy dog eyes and kissed her forehead, before reinforcing her grumpy demeanor and shooing her with the promise that she will do it. "But you behave, ok? If not the deal is off." Kim grinned the cheeky lopsided grin that screamed "No Promises" before racing off. Ashley laughed and shook her head at the youngest triplet's mischievousness, before turning back to Regina with a small grin. "My sisters want me to perform for the opening of an event. So they sent the youngest 'cuz they know that I have a soft spot for her. But she just as much of a rascal as the other two." Ashley explained, before slipping on her gloves to go into rocker mode. "You sing?" Regina quipped, cocking her eyebrow condescendingly, making Ashley laugh and gently kiss Regina's lips and winking. "You ain't seen nothing yet, Your Majesty." Ashley seductively said, before the chant of her old rock name made her roll her eyes and gently pick the love of her life up and jumping into the portal to bring her to her mothers, who were waiting for her to kick off the anniversary of their country. Well, all she could say was it was gonna get noisy.
A/N: Tune in to see how Tasmanians celebrate their country's anniversary. P.s, Ashley does sing… brilliantly. I won't tell Her Majesty if you don't XD
