Chapter 2

Helena and Christie sat there, talking for hours. Actually, Helena did most of the talking and, at first, almost forced the answers out of her new 'friend', but as the time passed, Christie was more spontaneous.

Everything has an end, though, and their conversation ended when the servant who talked with the albinos earlier, Julianna, knocked at the door.

"Lady Helena? You have a guest." She said as she poked her head in. "Do I lead her here or shall I make her wait?"

Helena's eyes widened. "Oh, mon Dieu!!!! Lei Fang!!! J'avais complètement oublié!!!" She said hitting her head with her hand.

(AN: "Oh, my God!!!! Lei Fang!!! I've completly forgotten!!!")

Christie's face remained of ice even if she was clueless. "What is it?" She asked.

Helena smiled sheepishly at the white haired woman. "So sorry... Lei Fang was supposed to come over to visit... We'll have to finish our talk another time." She apologized. "Julianna, tell her to come over here." She smiled sweetly at the young woman who nodded and closed the door.

Christie examined Helena.

"What is it?" She asked, feeling the albinos' eyes on her.

"You're gonna receive her dressed like this." She asked, expressionless.

Helena looked at herself.

Silence.

"I need to get changed!!" She yelped as she ran to her closet. "Oh! What should I wear! What should I wear?" She questionned herself, searching her closet.

The white haired woman looked over at the blond who was fussing around as if she was crazy.

Suddenly, she had an idea. "Christie!!" She called, causing the woman to jump. "You choose!!!"

"I, hu--"

"Ferme la et choisis." She ordered, a little panicked.

(AN : "Shut up and choose.")

Christie nodded and got to her buisness. Meanwhile, Helena rushed to a cabinet and retrieved lace undergarments. She slipped off her night grown, totaly oblivious to the fact that she was now completely naked in front of a woman she had known for only a few hours, and put on her underwere and bra.

"Have you chosen yet?" She asked, coming over to see what the other woman had picked.

Christie, who had been observing the blond all along, randomly chose a simple black dress and handed it to Helena. "Is this one alright?"

The Frenchwoman aquiesced and proceeded to put on the garnment . "Can you zip it up?" She turned her back to Christie.

Helena waited for her friend to do her task and, as she did it, the blond felt herself being squeezed by the dress at chest level. "Mes seins sont trop gros." She stated.

(AN: "My breasts are too big.")

Christie nearly chocked at the sudden revelation.

"They are!!" She insisted. "I haven't weared this dress for two years now. My breasts became too large, you're gonna have to choose another dress." She defended herself, pointing to the closet.

Christie stared at the breasts Helena claimed to be too large and sighed. "Then, how about this one?" She picked red one.

"Perfect" She beamed, trying to undo the zipper in order to slip off the black dress. "It's stuck." she groaned.

"Let me help." The white haired woman offered. "It's really stuck..." As she tried to undo the damned zipper, Lei Fang entered unknown to the two of them.

"Try harder, we need to get me out of that dress and fast." Helena hurried her.

Lei Fang cleared her throat. "Am I interrupting something?"

The blond stared at her, then at Christie who managed to unzip the dress.

Christie looked at Lei Fang, then at the zipper she just undid, then at Helena.

The Frenchwoman sprang away from the brit who remained unexpressive.

"Non!! non, non!! She was just helping me remove my dress!" Helena stamerred.

"I saw that..." Lei Fang crossed her arms.

Helena slapped her forheadhead with her palm. Christie sighted "She wanted to change her dress but her zipper was stuck." She explained.

Lei Fang raised her eyebrows. "And who're you?"

"My name is Christie, pleased to meet you, Lady Lei Fang." She bowed.

Helena gave her a little slap on the butt and Christie immediatly sprang up a little blush spreading across her cheeks. 'Geez, what's wrong with me? Maybe I have a fever?' She thought, her face unreadble. She saw Lei Fang scowl at the gesture.

"She's working here from now on." The blond grinned.

"Oh." Lei Fang tried her best fake smile. "Nice to meet you." She glared at Christie and walked to hug Helena. "I missed you, why did you have to come and live here?" She asked her.

"First, France is my country... second, you should've came yourself more often!" Helena uncomfortably smiled, patting Lei Fang's head, who hugged her again. "Now let me put on another dress."

"Right" Lei Fang answered, releasing the blond, blushing.

Helena made her way to the walk-in closet and began changing.

Christie, who had been observing the scene with growing interest, decied it might be the time for her to go. "Lady Helena? I'll be downstairs if you need anything." She said casually.

"Ok!" Helena answered from the depths of the closet.

'Why is she ashamed to change in front of Lei Fang?' She asked herself but quickly shruggered it off. As she exited she felt the chinise throw her one last glare. 'And what's wrong with her?'

***

Downstairs Christie met up with Julianna.

"How did it go??" The young woman asked her excitedly.

"Huh?" Christe gave her a puzzeled look.

"With Helena?" The redhead was almost bouncing by now.

"Oh, huh.... good I suppose..." She answered vaguely. The something came to her mind. "Could I ask you something?" She said as they walked to the kitchen to retrieve some tea for Helena.

"Sure, go ahead." The little woman answered happily as she began preparing the water.

"Is there something between Lei Fang and Helena? I mean... did they have an affair or something?" Christie got some cups out of an old cabinet.

"Or something..." Julianna sighed, turning to glance at the albinos who raised an eyebrow. "Lei Fang took Helena's flirting a little too seriously, I'm afraid." The water was now boiling and she poured it in a tea pot. "She told her she loved her, but Helena rejected her, saying she loved only men. But I doubt that's true. " She winked at Christie. "Anyway, they stayed good friends, but I think Lei Fang still likes her a little too much." She finished, setting everything on a large silver plate.

"I'm sure she does." The brit muttered.

"Huh? Why? Did I miss something?" Julianna asked eagerly. "Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me!!"

As they climbed up the stairs, Christie started to relate the events in detail.

****

Julianna passed the plate to Christie and bounced down the stairs, signing 'I'm a little tea pot' with her childish voice.

The brit shook her head the same way she did earlier. 'Some people never grow up...' She thought watching the small redhead. "Lady Helena, can I come in?"

"Go ahead." Was the cherfull answer.

The albinos entered and walked to set down the plate on the table next to them. Lei Fang, who was sitting in the same chair Christie was earlier, openly scowled at her. Helena, on the other hand, smiled warmly.

"Why don't you stay with us, Dear?" She asked kindly.

"Thank you, but I have chores to complete." Christie politely refused after acknowledging Lei Fang's expression.

"Very well." Helena said a little dispapointed as she poured some tea for her guest and herself.

Christie bowed and retiered herself.

The blond turned to her friend, handing her a cup. "She's nice, isn't she?" Helena asked.

Lei Fang clenched her theet, she had noticed the bond between the two women. "Indeed." She forced herself to answer calmly.
