First prompt of 2017!
from a guest-Prompt: something along the lines of, "Babe? What the heck happened!? We were gone for less than 10 minutes!" Danny and Carm yell at Evie and Laura.

The city never really changed, people were always moving, cars sped past, and coffee fueled almost everyone in it including a vampire or two. Danny held open the café door and a bag of pastries while Carmilla carried the tray of drinks,. The lines were shorter now and it helped that the holidays were over until February then all the florists, jewelers, and candy stores would be raided by the masses.
"You know that was probably the smoothest trip yet" Muttered Danny, they didn't always get along but if it was for a common goal they could do it and this time feeding their girlfriends was definitely a common goal.
"Hey we are functioning adults with or without our girlfriends we can handle a short walk to a café" Carmilla rolled her eyes, they could think independently it was just their clashing personalities that got the better of them sometimes.
"I'm not saying that we can't do stuff on our own its just nice to have things go smoothly almost normal"
"Ha! Normal is not something to get used to Lawrence" the brunette nudged her companion with a "your in one of the supernatural CAPITALS of the world expect to have some sort of meeting with the sup-senate or go sight seeing with my sister because you only see New York this calm for a few days out of the year"
"Seriously the sup-senate?"
"Hey your the one mated to a clan regent, Evie didn't spend half an hour filling out paper work and sending emails for fun, higher ups have to give warning their entering bigger territories so others don't panic"
"I helped her with some of that paper work and the questions on there were ridiculous"
"I know, half the entry questions don't even apply to the undead or reanimated like us but they want you to check every box and cross every T" Danny couldn't help shaking her head. That paper work had made little sense but without it Evie couldn't have entered the city much less the state and that would have ruined Christmas. No one ruins her mates Christmas, NO ONE. It took forever and a bit of advanced searching with J.P's help but they managed to fill it all out and send it in a week before they arrived. After all that cramming and anxiety they only got a nice email saying 'thanks for the paper work your allowed entry and happy holidays'.
"I feel like I should take a supernatural politics class or something"
"You could probably find a few sup-law sites online there are plenty of resources out there you just have to check on their legitimacy"
"Yeah but you can try that with almost every site and still end up wrong"
"Well you can always ask Mattie, she's the most poli savvy person around but I don't know if she's come up for air yet after hitting Morocco" Carmilla suggested, taking a sip of her coffee.
"I'll pass until we actually know she's clear headed"
"Ha good luck waiting for that Lawrence"
Danny opened the door to their apartment building for Carmilla first, always a gentlewoman. They could have gone with a more modern pick of the apartments but Carmilla loved the older ones and most of them had been hollowed out anyway for new appliances. They could have most the history mixed with new pipes, up to date wiring, and little issue with the sun because of which side the apartment was on. So yes it had stairs and the walls were cracked but it had power, good location and room for window boxes because Laura wanted to try her hand at gardening.
It wasn't much but it was theirs and that's all that matters.
Taking the keys Danny opened the door almost tripping when she saw the mess inside. The coffee table was on its side, Books littered the floor, and the blinds were hanging off the window. Elbowing the door closed Carmilla stared just as wide eyed as Danny wondering what happened.
"Laura? Evie?"
There was a Clang! from the kitchen as Laura stumbled out from behind the counter with a blanket around her shoulders, a strainer on her head, and what looked like a spatula in each hand.
"Um" The two shared a concerned look before watching Laura drop her 'weapons' and make her way to the living room.
"I can explain" Laura pushed the strainer up so she could actually see not that it helped.
"I would hope so and where's Evie?"
"I'm in here just a little busy" Called a voice from the other room.
"With what?" Danny righted the coffee table so they could put down their stuff.
"Cleaning up the broken glass" That caught her attention.
"Babe what the heck happened we were only gone for fifteen minutes?!"
"There was a swarm of bees and-"Laura started only for Evie to stick her head around the corner and snort.
"There was one bee Laura"
"I swear there was more than one"
"Laura I was next to you and I only saw one"
"Well your not the one with a bee allergy" Laura huffed throwing herself down on the couch.
"That doesn't mean I wasn't frightened when you screamed bloody murder!"
"It could have stung me"
"And we have your epipen so you would have been fine till we got you to the hospital"
"Hey guys? yeah were still here" Carmilla didn't want them fighting when they already had a mess to clean up. "Mind taking a minute to explain why it looks like a tornado hit our apartment?"
"Laura left the window open and a bee flew in here" Evie explained taking her coco from the coffee tray.
"I didn't leave it open on purpose I was watering the flowers"
"which are by the window" Laura full on glared at the petite blonde. They had just gotten the bee out of the apartment and she wanted to start another fight Laura just knew it.
"Ok Evie we get it" Danny hoped to stop the fight before it began but cabin fever was really raising their tempers.
"Yeah sis we got the goods so lets just sit for a moment and enjoy them" Carmilla made sure to keep her voice soft, soothing the two girls nerves.
"Fine but only because this is delicious"
"I know right?" The passive aggressive vibe was overbearing but it got them to settle down and that's all that mattered.
what a way to start off the new year.
