When Mandy opened her eyes the next morning, she was relieved by the warmth that Sonya's arms gave to her body.
Then, Mandy opened her nostrils to breathe and the delicious air of food teased her mind.
(Who's cooking?) Then, her eyebrows perked up. (Our food?!) Popping out from under the sheets.
"What?" Sonya shook awake. "What is it?"
The two leapt out of bed and their eyes turned to the emergency pantry where supplies were kept. It'd been nearly cleared out.
"Our food?" Sonya scowled pulling her back and preparing to square up with whoever had stolen their food. "Those bitches are goin-"
"Bitch?!" Sasha scoffed, covering her mouth after belching loudly. "Excuse you," her fork piercing a freshly cooked sausage, "I'm The Boss," She taunted, "And your food is getting cold." Gesturing to two paper plates with warm oatmeal and sausages.
Sasha, being the "Boss" she is, sat on the bed. The others found space on the floor around her gobbling up a makeshift breakfast.
"I'm going to-" Sonya threatened.
"Gen-" Sasha's Gengar burst from the shadows and leaned forward, "Gar?"
Sonya backed away, her body trembling.
"You're going to what?" Sasha smiled cockily.
"That's our food." Mandy pointed.
"I don't see your name written on it." Sasha shrugged. "Besides, you weren't really going to let us starve were you?"
Mandy backed away from the shadow of the Gengar, "You could have asked first."
"We would have woken you two up but-" Moxley paused in between a mouthful of oatmeal, "You looked cute together."
Sonya rolled her eyes and turned away. It was frustrating to hear that. It was that she thought the men were lying or being insecure. If only their opinion could actually persuade Mandy to consider giving her a chance. For Sonya, it was irritating at time to feel like her sexuality was an attraction or commodity for men.
Carlito stared at the untouched plates of food, "If you're not hungry then-"
"We are," Mandy cut him off. She turned to Sonya, "Right?"
"Ahem," Sonya cleared her throat, "Yes, we are. Can that thing," pointing to Sasha's Gengar, "Please go away?"
Sasha smiled at her Gengar, "Well, I guess you've had a whole night to stretch your legs. Thanks a lot, Eddie." Recalling the ghost pokemon.
Mandy and Sonya sat down and slowly began to eat with the Swords. Mandy took note of Carlito's hungry eyes and share her sausage with him.
"How did you cook this food?" Sonya pointed to the plate.
Sasha smiled at them, "With my pokemon." The Eastern Goddess was now certain that when healthy her team of pokemon would have the upper hand in battle against the two. They had no fire pokemon or means to deal with a ghost pokemon.
(When my team is healthy again, I'll crush them.) She smiled at the two women. (But wait, is that the way I should go about this. If I crush them, how does that help the others grow?)
Sasha thought for a moment. (I can't battle them. If I do, no one else will get stronger. But who is going to have enough power to go against them?) Looking over all the men in the room. (Gawd, men are so useless.) She thought. (Damn you, Prince.)
