"Ooh, I can't wait to eat here again!~" Chica exclaimed as she, Roxy, and Eliza left the Japanese restaurant. Turning to the latter, she excitedly asked, "So are we going to that cocktail bar next?"
Eliza smiled at the chicken girl. "That's the plan."
Roxanne, who was frowning, then spoke up. "Actually… I'd rather just go home."
Chica blinked. "Huh? Why?"
The wolfess let out a weary sigh as she folded her arms. "Because today has just been too much. Going out was supposed to be fun, but the humans out here have constantly been treating us like we're not real people, and I don't want to have to deal with it for the rest of the night."
Chica gave Roxy a look of empathy as she cupped her face and started rubbing her cheeks. "Oh sweetie, I had no idea it was affecting you that much."
"I'm surprised that it hasn't affected you more," Roxanne replied, her eyes full of tenderness.
Chica let out a giggle. "That's just because I think the good outweighs the bad." She smiled affectionately at the wolfess. "But if continuing our night out is making you feel like this, then I'm okay with going home."
Roxy smiled back at Chica. "Thanks, Chi Chi."
"Um, can I make a suggestion?" Eliza asked.
Chica smiled at the woman. "Of course, muffin!~"
"Maybe I could buy some liquor and other stuff on our way back to the Pizzaplex," Eliza suggested. "That way, we can make our own cocktails at home."
"Aww, that's a great idea, sweetie!~" Chica cooed before turning her attention back to Roxanne. "Don't you agree, Roxipoo?~"
Roxy nodded and then grinned at Eliza. "I do."
It was almost 11:00 PM when the trio returned to the Pizzaplex. After they had made their way to one of the kitchens, Eliza began to mix piña coladas for her and the Glamrock girls.
"So what do you guys want to do now?" Eliza asked as she poured the ingredients in a blender.
"Hmmm…" Chica tapped the underside of her beak as she thought about it. "Ooh, I know!~ How about a game of Truth or Dare?~ We could always get to know each other a little better!~"
A mischievous grin spread across Roxanne's face as she put her hand on her hip. "Sure, but how about we make it a little more interesting?"
"Um, like… in what way?" Eliza asked as she blended the cocktail.
"Well, since we're all girlfriends this time around, how about we…" Roxy paused to toss her hair and then looked at Eliza seductively. "... Spice it up a little?"
"Ooooh!~" Chica cooed and let out a giggle.
"Um… wh-what do you mean?" Eliza asked, looking quite nervous.
Her tail swaying from side to side, Roxanne stepped over to Eliza until she was towering over the woman. The wolfess then put her arms around her and, with a toothy grin, replied, "Oh, you know, a little more risqué."
Still a little confused, Eliza squinted as she looked up at Roxy. Then her eyes went wide. "Oh!"
Roxanne chuckled softly. "Oh good, you're finally catching on." This in turn elicited a giggle from Chica.
"W-wait, so you mean there will be… um… sex dares?" Eliza asked hesitantly.
"Precisely," Roxanne replied with a grin.
Eliza began to fidget, and rubbed the back of her neck with a trembling hand. "Um… I-i-it's just that I'm— L-l-look, I'm really fucked up. E-e-emotionally, I mean." She took a deep breath to try to calm her nerves. Swallowing, she looked at Roxanne and then over at Chica. "I'm 32 years old and you two are not only the first people I've ever been close to, but you're also the first real friends I've ever had. A-a-and when it comes to sex… I'm just not ready for that yet. I-i-in fact, I'm terrified of it."
"It's okay, sweetie!~" Chica said, giving the woman a reassuring smile. "We won't do anything you're uncomfortable with!~"
"Um… to be honest, I'd be fine with playing a naughtier version of Truth or Dare," Eliza said with a nervous smile. "A-as long as there aren't any actual sex acts."
"Awwww," Roxanne cooed as she cupped Eliza's face. "My little lamb, so sweet and pure. I could just eat you up." The wolfess grinned, showing off her very sharp-looking teeth, before she opened her jaws and snapped them shut a mere inch away from Eliza's face. The woman flinched and let out a giggle. Roxy gave her a look of affection. "Very well, we'll tone things down for you."
"Thanks," Eliza said with a smile. "I really appreciate it."
"Don't mention it," Roxy replied and gave Eliza a kiss. "Now how about you finish making our cocktails?"
"R-right." Eliza poured the piña colada into four glasses and put in drinking straws. She handed two of the cocktails to Chica, one to Roxanne, and kept the final one for herself.
Chica eagerly sampled the piña colada and murmured in delight. "Mmmmh!~ Muffin, this is so good!~"
"Yeah, this is pretty tasty," Roxy agreed with a grin after trying hers.
"I'm glad you guys like it," Eliza replied before taking a sip of her own drink.
As the trio entered Roxanne's green room, the wolfess closed her curtains so that they could get a little more privacy. She then turned to face Chica and Eliza, putting her hand on her hip. "Now Liz, before we start the game, how about you help us set up those phones we got from Nathan?"
"Um, sure?" Eliza replied somewhat hesitantly.
"Great," Roxanne said with a grin. Putting away her cocktail, the wolfess went into her bedroom with her tail wagging.
Chica, meanwhile, took a seat on the far end of the couch and placed her drinks on the table. "Come on, muffin!~ Why don't you take a seat?~" She chirped as she patted the spot right next to her.
Smiling at Chica, Eliza grabbed Roxy's drink and went over to sit with the chicken girl, putting her and the wolfess' cocktails down on the table as she did.
Before long, Roxanne came out of her bedroom with two phones in her hands. Her gaze fixed at one of the screens, she said, "Looks like Nathan already set them up for us, so they're ready to go."
"Yay!~" Chica chirped and clapped her hands out of joy.
Roxy sat down next to Eliza and looked down at her with a toothy grin. "But I was wondering if you could set up twitter accounts for us."
"Um, sure," Eliza replied, but looked somewhat puzzled. "But why now? Can't it wait until after the game?"
"Well, the thing is I thought we could have posting embarrassing pictures online as a dare," Roxy explained with a mischievous grin.
"Oh! Um… do we have to?" Eliza asked as she began to fidget.
"What's the matter, Liz?" Roxanne asked in a teasing manner. "You scared of embarrassing yourself?"
"No, it's just that I'm worried about the whole world seeing me with —" Eliza cut herself off upon realizing how that sounded.
Roxy furrowed her brow. "Wait, you don't want to be seen with us?"
Eliza held up her hands. "N-no! That's not what I meant."
"Then what did you mean?" Roxanne demanded, her ears pinned back.
"I… I-I-I'm just scared…" Eliza stammered out as she looked away from the angered wolf and down at the ground.
She then felt Chica gently squeeze her arm. "Scared of what, sweetie?"
Eliza swallowed and then slowly replied, "I'm scared of being mobbed by your more obsessed fans or by people who think I've taken advantage of you."
Roxy's expression immediately softened. Placing her hand on Eliza's cheek, she gently turned the woman's head so that she was looking at her. "Liz, if someone mistreats you, be it online or offline, I'm not going to let it stand, okay? I'll tell them off."
"Yeah, but…" Eliza looked away from the wolfess. "... it's not just that…"
"Okay, what else then?" Roxanne asked.
Eliza took a deep breath. "All my life up until today I've been a nobody, but now I'm going to be known all over the web as the girlfriend of Roxanne Wolf and Chica Chicken. My life is going to change forever and things will never be the same."
Chica rubbed Eliza's shoulder. "Sweetie, we get it. We really do. And it's something we're kind of going through too right now," she said as she nuzzled Eliza's cheek. "We've been treated as nothing more than property for all of our existence, but now we're free to live our lives however we wish, and Nathan even wants to give us rights. It's a huge change, and it's going to take some time to get used to. But no matter what happens, we still have each other to lean on."
"Yeah, exactly," Roxy agreed. "But Liz, we don't want to keep you a secret, and we certainly don't want you to keep us a secret." She stroked Eliza's cheek. "We love you, Liz, and like it or not, the world is going to know about it."
"Yeah… No, you're right," Eliza replied as she once again met Roxy's gaze and made an attempt at a smile. A feeling of regret then welled up inside of her. "I'm… sorry for being stupid about it…"
"No, sweetie, it's okay!~" Chica cooed reassuringly as she pulled Eliza into a hug.
"Yeah, if anything, I'm the one who should apologize," Roxanne said with a remorseful smile. "I didn't mean to snap at you." She set the phones away on the table. "And seeing how anxious this is making you, how about we hold off on the twitter thing until tomorrow?"
Eliza gave the wolfess a grateful smile. "Thanks, Roxy."
"Don't mention it. Anyway, let's get this game started," Roxanne said as she leaned back in her seat. "I'll go first. Liz, truth or dare?"
"Um… truth?" Eliza replied with a sheepish smile.
"Very well," Roxy said with a cocky grin. "What did you think of me the first time you saw me?"
Eliza blushed and fidgeted with her hands. "Honestly, I thought you were the most amazing, most beautiful person I had ever seen in my life."
"Awwww!~" Chica cooed.
Looking quite flattered, Roxanne said, "Yeah, that sounds about right. Alright Liz, it's your turn."
Eliza turned to the chicken girl, who broke off her hug. "Um, Chica? Truth or dare?"
"Dare!~" Chica chirped as she excitedly bounced up and down in her seat.
"Um…" Eliza looked around the room until her eyes fell on one of the many Roxy plushies laying around in the room. Pointing at it, she said, "Passionately make out with that plushie."
"Ooh, that's a good one," Roxanne said with an amused look on her face.
Smiling at Eliza, Chica said, "Sure!~" Without hesitation, she grabbed the plushie and started making out with it, eliciting laughs from both Roxy and Eliza. After about a minute, Chica turned to them and giggled. "There, how was that?~"
"That was amazing, Chi Chi," Roxanne said with a huge grin.
"Yeah!" Eliza agreed with a smile on her face.
"Okay, so I guess it's my turn now, huh?~" Chica chirped as she put the plushie away. "Roxipoo, truth or dare?~"
"Dare," Roxanne replied with the utmost confidence.
"Hmmm…" Chica tapped the underside of her beak as she thought to herself. A naughty smile then crept onto her face. "Take off my top using only your teeth!~"
"Alright," Roxy replied with a mischievous grin.
Chica got out of her seat and stepped over to the center of the room. Roxanne followed and went behind the chicken girl. She then gently slipped her snout down Chica's back and bit down on the fabric of her top. Then with one sudden and swift motion, she tore off the garment, ripping it apart in the process.
Chica let out a gasp of surprise before she looked down to see that her top was indeed gone. Turning around to face the wolfess, she squawked, "Roxy!"
Roxanne let go of the torn pieces of fabric, which fell down onto the floor. With a smug look on her face, she said, "What? You told me to take off your top and that's what I did."
"You meanie!" Chica pouted and folded her arms.
Roxy rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, we got plenty of spares," she said, and then teasingly added, "And you can't tell me that you didn't think it was funny."
Chica turned her head away from Roxanne. "Hmph! It's going to take a lot more than that to make up for it!"
"How about a kiss?" Roxy suggested with a seductive grin as she leaned closer to the chicken girl. Chica, however, kept pretending to be upset and didn't say anything back. The wolfess leaned in even closer. "A sweet kiss for my favorite chicken?"
Slowly but surely, Chica's pout turned into a smile as Roxy gently cupped her face and then pressed her lips against her beak. Before long, the two were making out with each other. Eventually, however, Chica pulled away and smiled at the wolfess. "Okay, I guess you're off the hook!~"
"Fuck, you two are so adorable!" Eliza exclaimed.
Roxanne grinned at her. "You want some of this too, Liz?"
Eliza blushed and fidgeted as she replied with a meekly, "... Yeah."
Chica and Roxy looked at each other and giggled before they sat back down on either side of Eliza. Before the woman could react, Roxanne's lips enveloped her mouth as she passionately made out with her. Once the wolfess finally pulled away, Eliza turned to Chica, who thrusted her beak at the woman's lips. Eliza reciprocated the gesture by affectionately pressing her lips against the chicken girl's beak and stroking her cheek.
As Chica and Eliza broke off their kiss, Roxanne spoke up. "Okay, so now it's my turn. Liz, truth or dare?"
"Um…" Eliza considered what to pick, but then hesitantly replied, "Dare…?"
"My, oh, my, aren't you brave?" Roxy teased with a toothy grin, and as she regarded her, Eliza cringed under the wolfess' piercing gaze. "You know what? I'm going to take it easy on you, so how about you sing us a love song?"
Eliza fidgeted. "Um, love song? I don't think I know any love songs."
Roxanne rolled her eyes. "Fine, any song will do."
"Oh!" Eliza suddenly perked up. "I do actually know one love song."
"Alright, let's hear it," the wolfess said a bit impatiently.
Eliza opened and closed her mouth, but then lost her nerve. "I… I can't…"
Chica took her hand and gently squeezed it. "Why not, muffin?~"
"It's… It's embarrassing," Eliza replied as she fidgeted with her hands. "I'll just look stupid…"
"Jeez, Liz. It's not like I'm asking you to sing in front of a crowd," Roxy said. Nudging Eliza with her elbow and giving her a reassuring smile, the wolfess continued, "It's just you, me, and Chica here, so what's there to worry about?"
Eliza didn't respond at first, but then lowered her head and asked, "Do… Do you promise not to make fun of me?"
Roxanne cupped Eliza's face and stroked her cheeks. "Of course not, my little lamb," she cooed before giving the woman a kiss. She then let go of her and said, "Now sing."
Biting her lip, Eliza gave Roxy a hesitant nod. Closing her eyes, she cleared her throat and then began to sing.
"I've had time to write a book about,
"The way you act and look,
"But I haven't got a paragraph.
"Words are always getting in my way.
"Anyway, I love you.
"That's all I have to tell you.
"That's all I've got to say.
"And now I'd like to make a speech about,
"The love that touches each,
"But stumbling, I would make you laugh.
"I feel as though my tongue were made of clay.
"Anyway, I love you.
"That's all I have to tell you.
"I'm not a girl of poetry,
"Music isn't one with me.
"It runs from me.
"It runs from me.
"And I tried to write a symphony,
"But I lost the melody.
"Alas I only finished half.
"And finish I suppose I never may.
"Anyway, I love you.
"That's all I have to tell you.
"That's all I've got to say.
"That's all I've got to say.
"That's all. I've. Got. To. Say."
Chica pulled Eliza into a hug and nuzzled her cheek. "Oh muffin, that was wonderful!~"
"Yeah," Roxanne agreed with a reassuring grin. "And it honestly fits you really well. Where's that song from, anyway?"
Eliza blushed. "It's from an 80s animated movie called 'The Last Unicorn'. It has a bunch of songs that are beautiful and melancholic at the same time."
Roxy smiled at her and Chica. "Well, I know what we'll be watching next movie night."
The three played for four more rounds before they went to bed. As they snuggled together under the comforter, Eliza thought about all of the trials and tribulations that they would soon have to face. But as frightening as that was, she knew that as long as they had each other, they would be okay.
