A/N: Hi! It's been awhile. Waiting for Valkubus on the screen has started to feel hard, so I'm easing my Valkubus blues with some writing. Hope you like it!

Bo stared at the protection bracelet Kenzi gave her. "How can you plan for a chance your friends could be pulled into another dimension? How—"

"You don't. We fight and we either win or lose," Tamsin interrupted in a flat tone.

Her eyes gave nothing away. Bo sighed at the fact that Tamsin regressed back to only showing her poker–face. It's like they were back in the prefect bathroom all over again, except minus all the snarky, naked -sexy stuff.

When Tamsin got up, if she saw Bo's eyes following her movements, she didn't acknowledge it. "I'm going for a run. See you guys for dinner."

Kenzi went over to her friend. "Listen Honeysnatch, she's probably just in 'battle-mode' or something."

"Well, just because she may have some kind of Valkyrie warrior switch in her brain doesn't mean she has to ignore what happened between us."

"Yeah, it's a shitty move. Wine and TV will ease this pain!"

"Should we really drink more? We have to be ready for tomorrow." Bo's face showed her nervous tension.

Kenzi put her hands on Bo's shoulders and took a deep breath. "Sooo we don't know what will happen tomorrow. I might end up in an alternate universe without shrimp. That I can live with. But," Kenzi paused and her eyes got really big, "What if I end up in a universe without alcohol or TV? That's a potential travesty."

Bo hated the thought of Kenzi in any place other than by her side. She hugged her friend. "Ok."

"Well, I can see you've been having fun. You two are three sheets to the wind." Tamsin said, walking towards the couches.

Kenzi turned to Tamsin. "Someone's gotta bring it." She straightened up from her slouch. "Okay Capt. Serious Face, what's the deal? You get to have the best sex of your life with my friend here and then you just—"

"KENZI!" Bo screamed, or tried to. Her mouth was full of pizza, so it came out a bit garbled.

Kenzi got the point though and satisfied herself with some good stink-eye aimed at the Valkyrie.

Tamsin looked at Bo. "Can I talk to you, Bo? Privately."

It was infuriating to Bo that everything seemed to be on Tamsin's terms. But she stood up to follow Tamsin out of the room anyway.

Kenzi scoffed at Tamsin's back as they left, then looked at the TV. "Just you and me tonight, baby."

"Pardon?"

Kenzi turned her head to see Hale grabbing some pizza. "How long have you been there?"

"Long enough to hear you make a pass at the TV." He chuckled as he walked towards the couch. "Mind if I join you?"

"Not at all. But I warn you, nature shows are not for the faint at heart."

Hale sat next to her and smiled. "I can handle it."

Kenzi couldn't help but smile back. "Or….We can watch what you want to watch."

He raised his eyebrows at her response.

At this, Kenzi realized the nervousness reflected in her voice. Oh, he was smooth. She knew she had to get her game back. She cleared her throat and pointed her wand at the screen. "Okay we'll start with pandas and ease you into the hard stuff later."

He squinted in confusion. "Hard stuff?"

"Cougars and lions and shit...It get's real, dude," Kenzi said as a yellow beam began flowing from her wand towards the TV.

Hale shook his head, laughing. He watched the screen as the yellow light disappeared and was replaced by a live-stream cam of baby pandas.

Tamsin opened the first door she came to and gave Bo just enough space to enter the room before turning around. The tension in the Valkyrie's gaze was palpable. That and Tamsin's proximity sent a rush through Bo's body.

Tamsin looked Bo up and down as if she could see the energy moving through the Succubus. The Valkyrie stepped back without breaking eye contact, took off her shirt and threw it on the floor. "It's time to fuel up for tomorrow."
