IV. Girls night out

It was two day later that Patty was sitting together with Clarisse and Tom on the balcony of an open-air café, Ken was visiting his aunt who was a leading anthropology professor in a museum two cities away. Patty was happily eating her ice cream, strawberry ice to be exact while the others were looking at they own ice together with they hot chocolate.

"Is something wrong you two?" Patty asked as she noticed that the two were not eating.

"No it is nothing Patty, but we noticed that since that strange woman picked you well…you seem to have changed somewhat." Clarisse said after a while.

"Hmm…I don't think that Trish is strange after you get to know her better and I don't think that I changed." she said before taking a new spoon full of strawberry ice in her mouth.

"Well…we also don't know, but you seem different in a way and ho do you know that woman, she isn't exactly our age." Tom said and Patty needed to hold back a giggle.

"I know Trish since many years she is a good friend of mine she was often there while I was searching for my mom so I view her as something like my older sister." Patty said happily while her two friends exchanged glances with each other.

Suddenly a shadow fell over the three of them turning around they spitted the blonde woman from two days ago, but she was not alone there was a second woman beside her she had short brown hair a half opened white blouse a short mini rock, but that what catched the gaze of the two confused friends more was the scar lining on he bridge of her nose and her eyes which were both two different colors the right green-blue while the left one brown. Both Clarisse and Tome were staring gapping at her, but Patty only waved to them smiling happily.

"Hello Trish, Lady would you like to join us?" she asked the duo while her friends turned to her in shock.

"Sure little one." Trish said grinning as both Lady and her grabbed each a chair and sat down.

"Ah yes Trish, Lady these are my friends Clarisse and Tom." Patty introduced her two friends.

"Nice to met you." Lady said as she held out her hand to Tom who needed to note that she had a firm grip.

After both women ordered trawled Lady's gaze over to the ice-cream bowl in front of her "little sister" a confused haze gracing her features before turning in to amusement.

"Well if that isn't strawberry ice-cream, what comes next pizza till you can't eat anymore?" she asked in a teasing tone which made Patty blush.

"That is not the case Lady I like strawberry ice." she said.

"Strange the last time I saw you was your most favorite ice in the world vanilla." she said in a fake thoughtful tone.

"Lady…" Patty whined in embracement while Trish started giggling while both Tom and Clarisse only exchanged confused glances.

"Lady leave her now be she is already red as a tomato." Trish said and Patty looked at her gratefully.

"Ok sorry Patty." Lady said grinning.

"Ah yes Patty we wanted to invite you to a girls night don't worry your mom already agreed that it is fine with her if Lady and I are with you." Trish said and Patty nodded her mom would say yes then even if she was scared for her safety she knew that her daughter has already learned some spell which could protect her or aid her in a fight and with two excellent demon hunters from which one herself was a demon could not much happen.

"That would be great, Clarisse would you like to come to?" Patty asked her friend.

"Well…uhm…ok…" she said nervously there was just something on these two women that made her feel uneasy while Patty seemed to trust them without any doubts.

Later that night were all four woman sitting in the city's most visited club enjoying themselves even thought Clarisse found it suspicious that each time a guy tried to hit on Patty both Lady and Trish stepped in. It was strange, but Clarisse had the strange feeling as if the two women were trying to hold every male away from Patty, she had noticed the gaze the two gave Tom when they were introduced.

The two girls were now sitting by a table while both Lady and Trish went up to the bar to get they drinks.

"This is really fun here don't you think Clarisse?" Patty asked while watching the people dancing.

"Yes it is fun, but Patty didn't you notice that…well how should I put it your two friends well…it seems as if they are trying to hold each guy that approaches us away from you." Clarisse said and she could have sworn that she saw something like worry hush over her friend's face, but it disappeared as quick as it come.

"Well Trish and Lady were always protective about me." she said smiling and waved her friend's question off when both Lady and Trish returned.

"So here are our drinks." Lady said.

"Well then don't wait for me I need to go for little girls." Trish said and headed away while Lady sat down beside Patty whispering in her ear as she did so that is wouldn't look suspicious.

"A demon is here to cause trouble Trish went to investigate." she whispered and Patty nodded.

Trish returned after twenty minutes smiling at the group.

"Well what do you think if we go dancing the night is still young." she said grinning while she tried to hold back a giggle at the expression poor Dante had when she called him over to clean up the mess she had left behind.
