When Toyo opened her eyes she was laying in a soft bed with warm blankets over her. She was lying on her back looking at the ceiling. She slowly turned her head when she heard voices. The door to the room was cracked open a little letting the voices through. She slowly got to her feet and noticed that she was in her underwear. Looking around the room she found her clothes folded neatly on a chair. She got dressed and walked to the door and listened. She picked up Lilly's voice saying something about Ayame kissing like a chicken and heard Ayame yell at her while laughing. She pulled open the door and walked into the hallway. She walked down the hallway towards the voices. The living room was brightly lit and music filled the air along with the smell of alcohol. Toyo finally walked into the living room and found that everyone was looking at her and smiling. Nishi was holding a beer in one hand and a shot glass in the other.

"Well look who's awake." Lilly said.

"It's good to have you join us." Sylia said. "Sit down there is a lot to talk about."

Toyo walked and sat next to Nishi and was handed a cold beer by Kenny.

"Now that we're all here it time that we get down to business." Sylia said. "Nishi knows all about us but I will fill you in anyway."

Toyo sat back in the couch and prepared for a long story. Sylia told her the whole story from the first team, and the battle with Galatia down to what they did yesterday. By the time she was finished Toyo's head was swimming both from the beer and all the information she had just learned.

"Do you have any questions?" Sylia asked.

"Yea." Toyo said. "Why did you let us in on who you were?"

"That's easy." Sylia said. "We didn't want to kill anyone that we didn't have to."

"So you had to kill Mr. Mason?" Toyo asked.

"Unfortunately yes." Sylia said.

"So now what happens to us?" She asked.

"As long as you say nothing then your life will continue and the only thing you need to worry about is finding a new job." Sylia said.

"Ok I can dig that." Toyo said.
"Well enough of the business talk this is a party." Josh said. "GENOM is gone and will not be back."

"How can you be so sure?" Toyo asked.

"Because there was an accident right after the terrorist attack." Josh said. "Oh and by the way good cover up. Anyway it seems that a large fire broke out and the water was off so the whole building burned to the ground."

"You guys are thorough." Toyo said.

"Well we took down GENOM a few times before but never took down the building." Josh said. "Now it's gone for good."

"Who else know besides the people here?" Toyo asked.

"Well there's Jack Walther the owner of the STAR Corporation and his wife and that's it." Josh said.

Toyo nodded her head and leaned back in the cushion.

"I know this is a lot to digest so fast but you'll be ok." Ayame said. "Lilly and I along with our friends went through the same thing."

"I think I need another drink." Toyo said.

Kenny tossed her another beer and distributed shots of whisky to them all.

"Here's to the end of GENOM." Josh said.

They all raised their glasses and took the shots. It was Toyo's first shot of whisky and she started coughing as soon is her airway was clear.

"Take the chaser." Josh yelled laughing. "For the love of god take it."

Toyo quickly downed her beer and felt lots better.

"Wow." She croaked.

"Good shit isn't it?" Kenny asked as he handed her another.

She waved it off but Kenny persisted.

"You'll get use to it." He said.

Toyo reluctantly took the shot and downed it and followed it with the beer.

"There that's better." Josh said.

The night continued on like that for hours until everyone was yet again plastered. Diamond and Ace caved early and went to bed leaving the others to drink their share of the alcohol. Finally with all the beer gone and almost no hard stuff left in the building one by one they sauntered off to bed until only Lilly, Ayame, Sue Ann, Ayame, Nishi and Toyo were left in the living room. Ayekwon was leaning her head on Sue Ann's shoulder dozing off and Sue Ann was starting to fall asleep as well. After they did the other's stumbled into Lilly and Ayame's room and sat in a circle on the bed.

"So what are you planning in the near future?" Nishi asked Lilly.

"Well it looks like Ayame and I are gonna be getting a place of our own." Lilly said. "As soon as we get our last paycheck that is."

"Really?" Nishi asked.

"Yep Ayame has been planning it for some time." Lilly said. "She even has a lone from the bank."

"Shit I wish I could do that." Nishi said. "Then I could move in with my boyfriend."

"Hey I have a question." Toyo said. "When is the wedding?"

"Well we haven't really talked about it." Lilly said. "But before the end of the year."

"I was thinking about in November." Ayame said.

"Is there a reason for November?" Lilly asked.

"That was the month we fell in love remember?" Ayame asked.

"Oh how romantic." Nishi said with a sigh.

"That was my intention." Ayame said.

Lilly put her arm around Ayame and hugged her tightly and kissed her lips.

"She was always better at the romantic stuff than I am." She said.

"But your better at other things." Ayame said making Lilly blush.

"Well I guess that's our cue to leave." Nishi said and grabbed Toyo by the hand and drug her from the room shutting off the lights and closing the door.

Lilly and Ayame leaned into each other and pressed their lips together and slowly lay down. Both of them knew that they couldn't go any farther because of Kenny and Terry so they were content with just kissing each other and running their hands through each others hair.

Living room

Nishi and Toyo walked into the living room to find that Sue Ann and Ayekwon had lain down on the couch. Sue Ann was behind Ayekwon with her back against the back of the couch and her arms around Aywkwon's waist resting her head on her lovers shoulder. They were both fast asleep and looked very peaceful considering that they were all accessories to murder. Toyo walked to the spare couch and sprawled out and closed her eyes. She was almost asleep until she felt someone lay next to her on the couch. She opened her eyes and saw Nishi getting comfortable beside her.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"I'm not sleeping on the floor." Nishi said. "Don't worry your safe like I said I have a boyfriend."

Toyo was a little uneasy sleeping with another woman but soon was able to shrug it off knowing that she was safe because Nishi liked guys. After a few minutes of thinking about what had happened today she fell asleep to the sound of her 3 friends breathing steadily.

Lilly and Ayame's room

Lilly and Ayame finally stopped making out and were laying in each other's arms in the darkness.

"Lilly." Ayame said.

"Yea?" Lilly asked.

"Are we ready to live together?" Ayame asked.

"Of course." Lilly said propping her head on her hand. "Why?"

"Well it's just a big move and to tell you the truth I'm a bit uneasy with it." Ayame said.

"Ayame we're getting married." Lilly said. "What's bigger than that?"

"Yea I guess your right." Ayame said smiling.

"I'm always right." Lilly said.

"Always?" Ayame asked.

"Well I was wrong once back in 2055 when I thought I was wrong but I was right." Lilly laughed.

"Oh you hilarious." Ayame said hitting her with a pillow.

Lilly fell flat on her back as Ayame rolled on top of her with her legs on each side of Lilly's hips. She leaned down and started kissing her on the neck and ran her hands over her body. Lilly let her do what she wanted and kept her hands at her side. She was enjoying the felling of the kisses and Ayame's hands all over her stomach and chest right up to the point when Ayame stopped rubbing her and suddenly started tickling.

"Hey no fare." Lilly laughed.

Ayame was using everything she had to stay on top of her bucking lover as she relentlessly tickled her.

"Ayame please I'm begging you." Lilly pleaded.

Ayame stopped tickling and leaned down and kissed her out of breath lover and rolled off of her.

"What did I do to deserve that?" Lilly asked.

"Well I was planning to make love to you but changed my mind and decided to tickle you instead." Ayame said and kissed her again.

"That wasn't nice." Lilly said.

"Yea well it was fun." Ayame said.

"Yea fun for you." Lilly said.

"As long as one of us had fun." Ayame said. "Now its time to go to sleep."

Lilly looked at Ayame and sighed. She put her arms around her and pulled her close and kissed her lips before closing her eyes.

'Now I'm sure we're ready to live together.' Ayame thought and fell asleep.
