Olive competes with Quill for Ruby's attention. Can they all get along to get what's needed?

Once the two settled down Olive could finally get a word in.

"So what now?"

"Hello there, Miss! Quill Ryder at your service!" He shook her hand but he was not very delicate.

"This is Olive Penderghast, my new assistant."

"Wow how many have you gone through, Ruby?"

They both laughed, actually joking about the number of presumably dead even though they were only characters in a game.

"Um. Guys. Shouldn't we be talking about you know the gem?"

Ruby finally got her act together.

"Right. Quill, did you find anything?"

"Not a thing. I ran other than an entire room full of gold, a bunch of priceless artifacts all back there but no sacred gem."

"Oh. Dang it. I guess we'll look around here a bit and then go set up camp."

They started walking down a cavern. Olive couldn't believe them, "Um, what about the gold and artifacts?"

"Well we're not looking for gold, silly. We have to get the gem away from Van Pelt."

"But..."

"I like your new friend, Ruby, she's funny." Quill chuckled and continued on with Ruby down the dark and spooky cavern. Olive was getting a bit ticked off, she followed behind reluctantly. This guy was like a hairless gorilla, his forearms could crush her, she was amazed he could even fit through this long tunnel with his muscular upper body.

She hated the way they kept looking at each other and joked around; if they used to be a couple then she wanted to gag. She still couldn't understand why she cared so much.

"Hey, look up here!" Quil called.

"It's gone!" Ruby exclaimed.

The gem was not on the mantle. Van Pelt's men got there before they did.

"I'm sure he's got a camp nearby."

"We'll try tomorrow. We need to set up camp. Olive you hungry?"

"Yeah a little."

"Great. Fry us up some fish that I catch and pick some berries." He set his pack in her hands.

They walked out of the temple, Olive struggled the whole way. They found a spot next to a stream. Olive put the heavy packs down. Whether he was actually hot or he was just acting mucho he pulled his shirt off and threw it at Ruby's face, hitting her like a sweaty rag.

"Thank you, Olive!"

He used a stick as a spear and jumped into the water; Ruby watched him almost smitten by his physique by the way she lingered on him and those abs. Olive rolled her eyes, this was ridiculous.

"I could go for some bananas," Ruby suggested.

Olive looked up and saw some bananas a top a tree. "Here I'll get them," Olive said, pushing her short sleeves up.

"Are you sure, Olive? It's a little high," Ruby said worriedly.

"Yeah. She's right, Olive, maybe you're better off with the berries," Quill said with a shit eating grin.

Determined, Olive walked up to the tree and gripped her hands. It was easy or at least the game was making her think this was all easy. She was only a few feet away from the one big bunch of ripened bananas at the top. She told herself not to look down but she did seeing Ruby smiling up at her and giving her the thumbs up.

Olive immediately hugged the trunk, her legs wrapped tightly around. This was such a bad idea. She didn't even have anything to cut the bananas down with.

"What's the matter, Olive?" Quill called up. She didn't budge, "Oh, you need a knife! Here you are!"

He tossed the knife up, it hit the tree just above her head. She panicked and let go of the tree but reached for the bananas. Ruby yelled something but it was hard to hear. The bananas ripped from the tree and fell with Olive. Luckily someone broke their fall.

Olive was in such a daze when Ruby helped her up. "Great thinking, Olive!" Ruby said, showing her the warthog she landed on. Ruby finished off the quivering animal with her huge hunting knife. Olive gasped. She was really feeling dizzy now, enough to pass out by the amount of blood.

"What about the fish?" Quill asked.

"Forget the fish, Quil! Let's roast this guy."

"Alright, fine, I'll chop some wood," he said, giving Olive the stink eye.

"Well I can help with that," Olive said, sticking her nose in the air.

She followed Quill over to a broken log. They took two axes from his pack. Ruby thought his was fun seeing them compete even though she had no idea why they would be. Olive removed her shirt. A faded yellow bra. She had no real muscle and standing next to this big guy made her look like a pole by comparison. His axe was five times bigger than hers. He swinged it, bringing it down with ease. Olive tried as hard as she could but she wasn't cutting into it as much as he was, this machine.

"Hey, what's that?" Olive said, squinting her eyes at something in the distance.

"Oh I'm not falling for that!" Quill continued cutting.

"No really."

Olive pointed Ruby to something coming their way. Ruby took out a pair of binoculars. A gang on motorbikes.

"Good gravy! Better get ready for this!"

Before Quill could join her, Ruby was running like the fastest woman alive. Both Olive and Quill watched, floored by how she pumped those legs of hers and let into the air to kick one of their unwelcomed guests off his bike. The motorists dismounted and circled around Ruby but she was ready to take all six of them on.

Olive watched as she kicked and punched her way through them but out of nowhere one of them pulled and ripped the front of her shirt down the middle. Ruby's breasts were supported by a gravity defying bra. She was mad now and was ready to break every pixel in that thugs body.

"You a lezzy right?"

"Huh?" Olive had blocked out her surroundings completely, all she could focus on was this sight.

"You're not fooling anyone."

Olive gave him a dirty look, "I don't know what you're talking about, Dwayne Johnson!"

Ruby lost her shorts and was on the ground on top of a guy, pummeling him with her ass in the air. Both took a moment to admire her in this position.

Out of nowhere some men identical to the bikers attacked Quill and dragged him into the brush. Olive flailed her arms around and fled for cover. She stopped in her tracks when she heard Ruby scream. She looked to the sky, there was Ruby and no time for her to get out of the way. Ruby landed on top of her. They were in a heap. Ruby's face was in Olive's crotch and her crotch was in Olive's face.

"I'm so sorry, Olive!"

"...it's ok..."

Ruby got up but was weak. Olive ran to her pack to see if maybe there was a power up or something to build up her health. Before she could get to it a jeep drove in her path. Quill. The big hero drove to Ruby's rescue, driving while shooting at the remaining men.

Olive couldn't believe him but he was a video game character after all and so was Ruby.

That night they had a fire pit for the wart hog and three tents built. Olive was fast asleep before she could even crawl into her tent.

"What a shame. She never even got to tear into this," Ruby said holding up one of the warthog's legs with a smile.

"Yes," Quill laughs, "She's rather peculiar isn't she?"

"What makes you say that?" Ruby asked, sucking the juices from her fingers.

"She...Really likes you."

Ruby just smiled and shrugged, "I really like her too."

"She's a...vag-atetian if you know what I mean." Ruby frowned and shook her head. Quill sighed, "She's a rug munched."

Ruby paused, she didn't even have to ask about that slang, "Ooooh."

"But she doesn't seem to realize it."

Ruby turned and watched the sleeping Olive, her shirt still gone. "Aw, that's so cute."

"Ruby you would never...would you? At least not with a runt like her?"

Ruby folded her arms and looked seriously at him for a moment, "What's your problem? Is the great Quill Ryder actually jealous?" He recoiled, "Besides this is a professional mission. But would I?" She turned to Olive and smirked, shrugging her shoulders, "I dunno."

More soon!
