Disclaimer: I do not own Lost Girl and/or it's characters. . . . Or the Pride and Prejudice line. Ivy, Donovan and Melinda are mine, though!

Ok, I am very sorry about the wait. I have been mental blocked for ages. Personally, I don't advise it, it messes with a person's groove.

Chapter 3

"I really do not want to be doing this," Dyson whined for the ninth time.

"Too bad," Kenzi replied, "At least you're wearing pants."

The entire situation had started off innocently enough. When Lauren finally called Bo at around four pm, she had been frantic. The doctor had completely forgotten that she was hosting a party with her human friends, and she had begged Bo for backup. And naturally, Bo invited Kenzi, Dyson and Hale to join in on the fun.

Before hanging up the phone, Lauren (quickly) stated that it was a costume party, so the Faetastic four had to dress up. That was an issue all amongst itself.

"I cannot believe you made me join in on this little dress up party!" Dyson reverted back to yelling at Bo from the backseat of her car.

Kenzi sighed again, "Will you shut up and hold still? I only have one side left, and if you keep fidgeting, I am going to get mascara in your eye!"

When Bo had first mentioned it being a Burlesque party to her friends, they all laughed . . . until they realized she wasn't kidding. Kenzi hadn't had too many problems with it after she had wrapped her head around the idea. Her black satin vest looked good on her, while her fishnets, ankle boots and black gloves were not a stretch from her regular attire. Although, she had not been thrilled that she had to wear shorts, considering how cold it was getting.

Bo had obviously made the most of her look. Her short gold dress hugged her curves with ease, showing off her tantalizing body without showing much skin. Right before they left, Kenzi had lent her a black pair of heels, and a gold top hat that casually sat on her head.

Unlike the girls, Dyson had seriously contemplated suicide when he had seen his own outfit. The girls had stated that he had no choice in what he was wearing, so he had already been a little wary of them. But the minute he saw the mesh shirt, the black pinstripe pants and the red cowboy boots, he had been heading for the hills. Unfortunately for him, Bo and Kenzi were a lot faster and stronger than they appeared. In two seconds flat, the tiny women had jumped him, stripped him, and had wrestled their clothing onto his horrified body. Before the fae could even let out another protest, he had been pushed into the back of Bo's car, as Bo peeled away from her house.

And to put the cherry on top of his humiliation cake, Kenzi had insisted (aka forced) Dyson to wear makeup.

"It is part of the costume," Bo added on.

Dyson sat still and grumbled, "Lauren and I are going to have a serious chat when we get there."

"It better be a civil chat," Bo glanced at the directions Lauren had given her, before looking back at the house in front of her, "I think this is the place!"

Kenzi leaned forward and looked out the windshield, "Holy shitballs!"

"This is her house?" Dyson exclaimed once he had gotten out of the car, "Maybe I should be the Ash's bitch too."

Bo turned to him, "Wha-"

"Hello, Ladies!" Hale's voice cut off the rest of the succubus's comment, "And apparently, I was including Dyson in that statement."

The girls stifled laughs as Dyson gawked at his partner, "What the fuck man? How did you end up with the decent clothes?"

Hale stood there casually in a black vest, tight black jeans with a bowtie, and a bowler hat to finish off the look.

"Lauren said burlesque, right? This is male burlesque," Hale replied,

"Come on, Hale. You have to admit your partner looks very pretty!" Bo said.

"At least we all know who wears the pants in your relationship . . ." Kenzi had barely gotten the sentence out of her mouth before she and her roommate dissolved into a giggle fit.

Dyson grumbled, "I hate you all."

They group walked up to the massive door, and knocked.

"Shit, Dyson," Hale said to his partner, "Are you wearing makeup?"

Mercifully, the door opened before Dyson could react.

On the inside of the door stood a beautifully terrifying woman. She was a tall, slender blonde with a stern expression on her face. Her short black dress and knee-high boots were classy, and strong which perfectly matched the feeling she gave off.

"Whoa!" Kenzi leaned into Bo as she spoke, "Ice Queen, twelve o'clock!"

The rest of the group desperately stifled their laughter as the woman turned a glare on Kenzi.

"You must be Lauren's friends," the woman turned to walk inside, "I am Lauren's older sister, Ivy."

Bo smiled at the woman, "I'm Bo," she motioned to each person as she introduced them, "This is my roommate Kenzi, and our friends Dyson and Hale."

Ivy looked at them with disinterest, "I've heard. Why don't you come inside."

She was most definitely not giving them an option.

"Yes, your majesty," Kenzi muttered in a perfect Cockney accent, "Are we to wash the floors and the windows, too?"

Bo shoved her roommate as she walked, "Be nice."

"I'm always nic – Holy Shitballs!"

The room the group stepped into was gigantic. It was an expansive living room that was open to the kitchen. The furniture was cool and tasteful, contrasting with the red on the walls. The house was completely new and ornate, the exact opposite of Bo and Kenzi's home.

There were people everywhere. The boys silently assumed that there were around thirty people in that one room, all of them dressed in a similar fashion to their little group. Many people were standing around talking, opening up to each other in the least personal way possible. Some were eating and there were even a few people dancing in the middle of the room. As Ivy led them through the crowd, Bo was overwhelmed with all the humans in the area. After spending so much time with fae, it was hard to readjust.

"I hope Lauren doesn't introduce us to any of these people," Kenzi whispered, "I am never going to figure out who's who!"

"Why does it matter?" Dyson complained again, "Obviously Lauren isn't lacking the friends department. Why did she have to bring us into the mix?"

Hale chuckled at his partner, "You're just pissed cuz you're dressed like a girl."

"I AM - "

"Lauren! I found your friends," Ivy interrupted Dyson as she came to a halt in front of her sister.

The group of four simultaneously dropped their jaws at the sight of the friendly neighborhood doctor. Despite their knowledge of the party's theme, seeing Lauren in her outfit left them all baffled.

Lauren stood in front of them in a deep red corset, one that caused an uncharacteristically significant amount cleavage to spill over the top. Her hair was curled slightly at the end, and she was wearing a very noticeable amount of makeup. The black shorts she wore were not dissimilar to Kenzi's, while her fishnets, and black heels completely transformed her. The woman in front of them was a far cry from the Lauren they were used to.

"Stop staring," Lauren's voice shook the group out of their shock, "I know I look ridiculous."

"I was thinking more along the lines of sexy!" Bo couldn't take her eyes off of her lover even if she'd wanted to.

Hale whistled in agreement, "If you dressed like that more often, we'd all willingly show up for our doctor's appointments!"

Lauren laughed at that, "If I did that, it would ruin the thrill of the chase."

Dyson grumbled, "Don't quit your day job. Seeing you in that getup is way too strange. "

"Are you an ass on a daily basis, or is this just a special occasion?" a very attractive black man came up behind Lauren, placing his hands around her waist.

Lauren elbowed her friend in the gut, "Donnie! Don't be rude."

"I can't help it. It's in my nature."

Lauren rolled her eyes, " Everyone, this is Donovan. We have been best friends since we were little."

As the group took their time introducing themselves, Bo desperately tried to stop the red-hot feeling that was bubbling inside her. The succubus couldn't tear her eyes away as the pair laughed and talked with the others; all the while Donovan remained flush up against Lauren. This Donovan guy was standing up against Lauren, and casually placed a kiss on the side of the doctor's head. Bo didn't want to, but she couldn't help feeling jealous of her doctor's good friend.

"You two would make such a lovely couple," Ivy's comment did not help the jealously stirring within Bo.

"Ivy," the tone Lauren used with her sister sent a slight chill down everyone's spine.

The older woman chose to ignore it, "Come on, Lauren! You can't tell me you don't see how much he's in love with you! If you weren't so damn gay then maybe . . . ."

"Ivy!"

Donnie tightened his jaw as he removed himself from behind the doctor, "I'm gonna leave before this gets any more awkward."

The moment after he dashed away, another blonde woman walked up to the group, "Ivy, your kid is on the phone. I think she mentioned something about a broken vase. . ."

"What?" everyone instantly breathed a little easier as Ivy ran off.

"I don't care if she is our sister," the newest woman said to Lauren, "Ivy picks her bitch moments like a pro."

The newcomer was undoubtedly the youngest of the sisters. She was petite, with a round, baby face, and big blue eyes. At first glance, it was the long blonde hair that seemed to be the only thing the younger woman had in common with her sisters. But if you kept looking, you could see that she and Lauren had almost the exact same mannerisms, and her voice was almost perfectly harmonized with Ivy's.

The younger sister turned to the group and spoke again, " You must be Lauren's Fae friends," the petite woman smiled and held out her hand, "I'm Melinda. Lauren's younger sister."

Red flags went off in everyone's minds, and naturally Dyson was the first to react.

Dyson rounded on Lauren, "Are you stupid? You leaked private Fae information, info that you, as a human, have no right to share? Does the Ash know about this?"

"Hey!" Melinda walked into Dyson's line of fire, "Lauren didn't tell me shit. I am dating a merman. After seeing his tail, he asked the Ash to fill me in," the tiny blonde woman sneered at him, "Clearly you did not become a detective based on intelligence."

Before the Fae went to lunge at Melinda, Lauren jumped in his way.

"What are you going to do?" the doctor tried to keep her voice level, "You are in a house full of oblivious humans. If just one person sees your powers, you are outed. And we both know what the Ash will do if that happens."

"What would he do?" Bo asked.

"Nothing good," Dyson answered Bo, while keeping his glare trained on Lauren.

Hale decided he would distract his partner again, "Why don't we go grab some food . . . in the other room?"

The detectives took their opportunity to leave, giving the women space to talk.

"Listen, I'm sorry about that," Melinda said to Bo, Kenzi and Lauren.

Bo smiled at the woman, "It's fine. He was completely out of line as it is."

Kenzi nodded, "Wolf man has a quick temper."

"You can't really blame him," the three other women looked at Lauren as if she'd grown a second head, "Any one of us would have jumped to the same conclusion."

Melinda pouted, "I hate you when you're right."

Lauren bumped shoulders with Melinda, "Don't hate me too much. I am the nicer sister."

The women stood around talking for a while. Melinda managed to fit in quite well with the group, and, much to Kenzi's relief, she brought out a more warm, sweet and playful side of Lauren. This only became more apparent when a slow song started playing over the sound system.

Lauren extended her hand to the Fae, "Bo, dance with me."

Lauren would never admit it to anyone, but she agreed with Elizabeth Bennett. Dancing is always recommended to encourage affection. Even if one's partner is barely tolerable.

"You dance?" Bo didn't bother to hide her shock as she was led to the middle of the room.

Lauren blushed as Bo's arms encircled her waist, "I try to."

As they swayed gently in time with the music, Bo looked at Lauren lovingly, "Why are you so amazing?"

Brown eyes met the Fae's with concern, "I'm not."

Bo leaned in and kissed the doctor, "You are to me."

Lauren sighed, leaning into Bo, "As are you."

"I think I get it," Lauren looked at Bo in confusion, "The three cherry blossoms. They are for you, Ivy and Mel, right?"

The doctor smiled, "Yes. They were the only two who stood by me after I came out."

"I'm glad you have them."

"So am I," Lauren looked at Bo, "Listen, I'm sorry about the way Ivy behaved. She is very protective. She is always wary of people she doesn't trust. We've been hurt a lot in the past."

"I'm sorry about that," Bo looked at the blonde in shock, "I just realized I barely know anything about you."

Lauren shrugged and kissed Bo, "My life is not all that interesting. Trust me."

"I still want to know about it," Bo pulled Lauren impossibly closer.

"You will," Lauren smiled at her, "In time. But right now, I just want to dance with you."

The pair became oblivious to everything and everyone as they danced. They didn't notice the boys leave, after Dyson couldn't take watching them anymore. The couple missed Ivy storm out of the house, completely enraged by her children and their inability to keep things in one piece. They didn't even notice when the song stopped, and Melinda started ushering the other guests out of their house. In their moment, everything was perfect.

After everyone left, Lauren and Melinda invited Bo and Kenzi to stay the night. Succubus or not, Lauren was not having Bo drive home after the amount of alcohol she had consumed. A slumber party had been decided on instead. At least it had been determined between Kenzi and Mel. The older blonde and the brunette decided they would retire to Lauren's room, eager to be alone together. It wasn't that they didn't want to have a Lord of the Rings marathon with the girls; they just wanted to be with each other more.

Once they had removed their mildly uncomfortable outfits, they slid into the doctor's bed without even bothering with pajamas. All they needed to do after their night was to bask in each other's comfort. Which is what they did.

Bo had started playing with Lauren's necklace the moment she had laid down. It was a strangely beautiful piece of jewelry, and Bo couldn't help but comment on it, "I like this necklace. It looks good on you."

If the Fae's eyes had not been resting on the piece of jewelry, she might have noticed pain flash across her lover's face.

"I hate it," Lauren's response caused Bo to look up at her with worry, "This necklace is strangling me."

"Why don't you just take it off?" Bo stroked her hand over Lauren's cheek.

"Because that would hurt me more," Lauren sighed before looking Bo in the eye. The doctor needed to be honest with her lover, "Bo, I have something to tell you. This necklace . . . It's . . ."

Bo rolled onto Lauren and kissed her lips, "It's something we don't have to talk about tonight. Tonight, we can just sleep."

Their kiss started slowly enough, but its intensity was overwhelming. Bo nipped at Lauren's bottom lip, begging for entrance, which Lauren granted without hesitation. The lovers were completely entwined, hands roaming over each other's bodies, and yet, they were unable to get close enough.

When Bo pulled away, they both sighed contently.

"My God, you're beautiful," Lauren whispered against Bo's lips.

Bo smiled at the comment, "You already told me that on the day we met."

"It's still true," When Bo looked into Lauren's eyes, she could see that she meant it.

Bo leaned back a bit, causing Lauren to groan at the loss of contact, "You are so breath-taking."

Lauren blushed deeply, "You're just saying that because I'm naked."

Bo laughed, "Well, I'm not saying that isn't a contributing factor, but you are breathtaking."

The brunette gently laid back down, both women sighing in the process.

"Why didn't you tell me you play guitar?" Lauren's eyes shot open at the succubus's question.

"What?" Lauren looked at her lover, "How did you know that?"

Bo drew circles onto the blonde's shoulder, "I saw it when we walked in here."

"Oh."

"And you sing?"

"Not well," Lauren glanced down at Bo, "Who told you that?"

"Mel let it slip," Bo gave Lauren her best puppy eyes, "Will you sing for me sometime?"

Lauren smirked at her, "I will, if you're good. But right now, we should sleep."

As they lay together, Bo and Lauren drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

A/N: I hope you liked it! It took FOREVER to write! BUT while I was mental blocked for this chapter, I was writing out the next ones. . . . So they will be up WAY faster!

So. . . As always, I enjoy having an actor playing my made up characters. In my mind, Ivy is played by the lovely Kim Raver, Donovan is played by Shemar Moore, and Melinda is played by AJ Cook. Even though, technically Kim Raver and Shemar Moore aren't actually Canadian . . . . But screw that. They work better!

My goal is to have it up by New Years, and reviews help me work ;)

Oh! P.S.- The Elizabeth Bennett thing was from Pride and Prejudice, for all those who missed it. I am totally in love with that book/movie.

And! P.P.S.- The next chapter is all about Period woes . . . . So, I apologize in advance for any and all squeamish men-folk out there.
