This side story is set on the evening following Game 8 of Cartoon Quidditch.

The Liverpool Beetles, the latest team to come out of Europe, went to Montreal, Canada to face the Montreal Manticores for their eighth game of the season. While things did go well overall for the Beetles, as they did win the match, one of their top players Tommy Turnbull was brutally bashed by a Bludger that was hit at him by Montreal's Nikki Wong, leading his teammate and girlfriend Lola Mbola to charge into her and get penalized.

And so after the match, while the rest of the team has gone bowling, Tommy, per his request, is taken by Robotboy to the team's rented hotel room - a Comfort Inn just outside of downtown Montreal - to rest up and recuperate. "You did a great job back there, Tommy," Robotboy reassures him. "You deserve a good rest." Tommy says nothing - he simply smiles at his best friend, then the two share a fist-bump and Robotboy leaves to rejoin his teammates while Tommy sees what's on TV.

Meanwhile, as Robotboy makes it to the bowling alley, he sees that everyone on the team is there having a blast as they score spares and strikes... everyone except for Lola.

"Aw, come on, Lola, bowl some rounds with us!" Gus Turner coaxes.

"No thanks," Lola sighs. "I'm not in the mood."

"Hey, do you really think Tommy would want you to let yourself be this miserable?" Robotboy asks, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Maybe not..." Lola reasons. Then, after some thought, she realizes something. "But I don't think I could be killing time here. I think I should be there for Tommy. I'd feel better sharing the misery with him and letting him bear it all by himself!"

"Hey, I'm sure he's not as hurt as you think?" Gus suggests.

"Either way," replies Lola, "I insist that I must be there for him. Robotboy, can you take me to him?"

"No, let me do it," Robotgirl breaks in. "You go ahead and bowl with the guys, Robotboy. I'll be back soon."

"Uh, OK, thanks," Robotboy shrugged. And with that, Robotgirl kisses Robotboy on the cheek, takes a hold of Lola, and flies her towards the teams hotel. All the while Lola is hoping that Gus was right and that Tommy isn't that terribly hurt...

In time, Robotgirl lands Lola at their hotel. "Good luck!" she calls back to Lola as she jets back towards the bowling alley. Lola then frantically makes a rush for the room shared by Tommy and herself. She bursts through the door.

"Oh hey, what's up Lola?" Tommy smiles, looking up from the TV. "Weren't you bowling with the others?"

Lola, presently surprised at how easy Tommy is resting, says, "I was too worried about you to cut loose at all. I just had to be here for you, that's all."

"Relax, Lola, I'm okay," Tommy reassures her. "Granted, my chest and stomach are still sore, but I'm doin' okay."

Lola, however, ignores Tommy's reassurances when he mentions still being sore. "Aww, poor Tommy," she coos. "Here, let me help you."

"Lola, come on, don't worry abo-" But before Tommy can finish his sentence, Lola takes his arms and pulls them into a vertical position, and then slips his white T-shirt off of him, looking to examine his body. Needless to say, she is shocked when she sees the bruises that were caused by the Bludger impact and the impact on the ground that followed.

"Oh my God, you ARE hurt!" Lola gasps.

"I'm not hurt that bad," Tommy insists.

"Well it looks awful! Aww, my poor Tommy! Come here, let me hold you!" Before Tommy can stop her, Lola wraps his arms around him, caressing his bruised, bare torso. Hesitant at first, he eventually puts his own arms around her and decides to enjoy this moment of intimacy with his girl.

After some caressing, Lola reaches out and places a tender kiss on the bruise on Tommy's chest that the Bludger left behind.

"Uhhh..." Tommy says nervously.

"Shhh, relax," Lola croons. And with that, she places more kisses on Tommy's chest, hoping to provide some form of comfort for his boy.

"You really don't have to do this, you know," claims Tommy.

"I want to, Tommy," Lola says softly as she gently lies Tommy down on the bed. She then slips off her shoes and gets up onto the bed with Tommy. Propping herself up with her arms so as to avoid putting too much pressure on his chest, she leans down and locks her lips on his.

For the time being, Tommy forgets his physical trauma, and loses himself in the euphoria of the taste of Lola's lips - there's just something about the lipstick in particular that is just doing it for him. As tempted as he is to just take hold of her and dominate her, he just lays back and let's Lola do the work. After all, he is becoming incredibly enamored by the euphoria induced by Lola's kissing, as well as aroused.

Lola then breaks off the kissing. She gets up on her knees, hovering over Tommy. Smiling, she runs her hands down Tommy's bare chest, making him practically shudder in ecstasy.

"You have no idea how much you mean to me, do you, Tommy?" Lola says. "Ever since I first started hanging out with you and Gus, somehow, I just knew you'd be the one for me. I admit, I was mad when you didn't seem to notice me. But now that we're together, well, you make me the happiest girl in the world! I love you, Tommy Turnbull!" she affirms as she cups his face.

"I love you too, Lola Mbola," Tommy replies.

Then suddenly, without warning, Lola slips out of her blue dress, revealing her own smooth, bare chest. Before Tommy can react, Lola lowers herself on top of him and tongue-kisses him with fiery passion...
