Willow watched with some concern as Gabrielle and a mess of girls she didn't know staggered out of Rose's portal then collapsed on the ground. "You okay?"
Gabrielle blinked a few times as she tried to ignore the fact that the world was spinning around her. "Not really but I think we'll live, sadly."
Willow nodded, "So do you want to explain to me who the rest of these girls are and where Rose and Leo are?"
"Ow! Omigosh... this totally isn't what it looks like! Okay maybe it is, but they followed me home, honest. Can, can I keep them?"
Willow blinked, "All of them?"
"Well no, some of them are Leo's." Gabrielle blinked as she realized that probably wasn't the best argument to make. The high volume Willow babble wasn't really helping her headache so she did her best to ignore it as she tried to extract herself from the rest of the girls. She finally managed to extract herself from the rest of the girls just as she her mother's voice slowed to a level she could deal with. "What's that?"
Gabrielle looked around for a second before she realized her mother was looking at her bother's fox girl. "That's Leo's kitsune, a type of fox girl, her name's Kyara."
Willow blinked as her babble came to an abrupt stop. "Maybe you had better get to the introductions missy."
Gabrielle sighed, why did she always get left cleaning up the mess. Okay so they were usually her fault but this time it was at least half Leo's fault. "Well you've already been introduced to Kyara so who wants to be next?"
Tabby blinked, she'd heard a lot of stories but meeting Gabrielle's mother for the first time was sort of scary. "Hi, I'm Tabby or Abby if you prefer."
Willow blinked as she took in the girl's tail and cat ears, "What are you?"
"I'm a pokegirl or more specifically I'm a magical cat girl."
Willow nodded, "Okay, I've heard stranger things." Which she had, taken next to a hell goddess and any number of the demons she had fought over the years, a magical cat girl wasn't anything too strange. Willow watched as a large breasted teenage girl stepped forward. The girl was dressed as a cowgirl albeit a very sexy one. She removed her cowboy hat before doing a little bow. It took Willow a second to notice the small though very cute horns sticking out from under the girl's hair. "Oh."
Helen smiled brightly, "I'm Helen, I'm, well I'm sort of a cowgirl."
"They're cute, are they real?"
Helen nodded, "Yeah, so are the breasts incase you're wondering."
Willow pulled her eyes away from the teenager's lovely c or d cup breasts. "Sorry."
Helen was grinning as she shrugged, "It happens, a lot actually."
Gabrielle glared at her mother, "Anyways Sarah is the girl playing with the deck of cards." Sarah smiled and waved. "Morrigan is the blue skinned elf girl." Gabrielle lightly ran her hand along Morrigan's shoulder to help her relax.
Willow nodded, "So what about the rest of the girls?"
Laura grinned, "I'm Laura and the overly large bunny rabbit behind me is Tiffany. We're friends of Leo."
Willow blinked as she noticed just how tall Tiffany was. "She's taller than Lexie."
Gabrielle nodded, "Yeah, I wonder how Lexie will take it."
"Not sure, so how long until Leo and Rose get here?"
"They wanted to finish organizing the stuff for transport."
Willow frowned, "What stuff?"
Gabrielle blinked, "You didn't get the e-mail?"
Willow frowned, "You mean the suspiciously vague one that asked if Dawn and Lexie could help you move some computer equipment and lab tech out of the pocket world Rose made."
"Yeah that one."
"Oh I read it, just no where in it was any mention of bringing a horde of people back with you."
"But mom."
"Nope, no buts, it's straight to quarantine for the lot of you. I'll even make sure Ginny puts the stethoscope in ice water just for you. Not only that but you're so grounded."
"What?"
Willow smiled, "No magic until you get back to school and next time you decide to go on vacation I want a full mission write up."
"That's not fair."
"Oh? Speaking of not fair, Mrs. Potter wants a two page paper from you and your siblings about your experiences and thoughts on the world you visited. Is that going to be a problem?"
Gabrielle sighed, she was just happy she wasn't in worse trouble for not clearing her pokegirls, but sometimes it was better to ask forgiveness than permission. "Fine, let's go girls. Leo can catch up after we get through the scans."
Ginny's smile was slightly amused as she checked over the rest of the children. She had cleared Gabrielle in about five minutes. Nothing out of the ordinary about her blood work or anything else for that matter. Well nothing out of her normal range anyways. The girl's immune system was more than a little scary even if you didn't factor in the girl's subconscious use of magic to increase it's ability to deal with any form of contagion. Ginny was fairly sure Gabrielle could walk through a village filled with the black death and not catch even so much as a sniffle. The rest of the girl's were slightly more problematic in that she needed to take a bunch of samples both physical and mystical for the baseline graphs they required all of their people to have.
Lexie couldn't suppress the look of glee on her face as she looked over the collection of boxes filled with computers and specialized lab equipment. "There is enough stuff in here to keep me busy for years. Hell, I'm going to have to get some research assistants just to sort all of this."
Dawn's smile broke through her mock glare almost immediately, "I think you broke her." She unconsciously ran a hand over the top book in a stack of books dealing with magic. "I can't say I'm sad about having all of these books to look through though. So when did you want to start moving everything back home?"
Leo glanced over at Raven who was busily taking picture after picture of the last of the stuff being loaded into the boxes by the twins. "Well any time you want."
Logan grunted as he moved one of the large boxes down from its place in a precarious stack, "How come I'm here helping again?"
Rose chuckled, "It's called bribery, something to do with a cellar filled with wine and other mostly useless alcoholic drinks."
Logan grunted.
Lexie chuckled as she went back to shifting the boxes for easier transport.
Gabrielle chuckled as Leo flopped down on her couch, "So how did moving everything go?"
"Tiring, I'm just glad we are going back to school soon, that way Lexie can't draft us for help organizing all of the new computer equipment. So where's everyone else?"
Gabrielle nodded, "They're off with Lilypad and the twins seeing the rest of the house."
"That's good, so have you thought about how the girls are going to fit into things here? And were we right to bring them?"
"Well I wasn't going to leave them behind. Besides I'm sure once mom calms down she can find plenty of things for them to do. Hopefully it will keep her mind off us going back to school."
He chuckled, "One can only hope."
Xander couldn't suppress the chuckle that escaped as he listened to his oldest friend explain his girlfriend's reaction to the almost seven foot tall bunny rabbit. "She really fainted?"
"After screaming like a school girl, you would think that a vengeance demon would be made of sturdier stuff."
Xander grinned as he mock coughed, "Frogs."
Willow chuckled, "I guess… still it was sort of funny."
"So what are you going to do about the girls?"
"What's there to do? The girls look happy, as long as they come through the medical scans there isn't much we can do about it other than find a place for them."
Xander nodded, "Well it would be nice to have some additional magical support in a few trouble spots. Besides Lexie has been complaining for a while about needing some help to go through all of her tech and figure out how to start building on it. Perhaps one of the girls has a science bent."
Willow grinned, "You're just happy to have more people sharing the house that aren't slayers."
"I love my slayers but some times they can drive me a little bonkers. It will be nice to have some normal people around."
"Yeah, because a bunch of teenage nudist girls with magical powers is normal. Okay maybe it's normal for here. Anyways I think you would die of boredom if all you had were normal people around."
Xander laughed as he leaned back on the couch, "Well do we get to interview the girls tomorrow?"
Willow nodded, "And assign them jobs as well."
Gabrielle smiled as Tabby came walking back into her bedroom, "So how did it go?"
Tabby grinned, "Better than I expected, I get an allowance and get to help out in the library and the computer lab. It's great."
Gabrielle giggled, "See I told you it would work out. So what about the others?
Tabby giggled as she climbed up on the bed and sprawled out on the large thing. "Helen's training with Xander, he just loves the elemental pistols and wanted to know when he could get an elemental shotgun. Willow said as soon as the weapons finished being tested. The second he heard that he drafted Bode to start work on drafting up some type of indestructible double barreled elemental shotgun."
Gabrielle nodded, "Probably wants to have the parts made of heartstone, which would fix the over heating issue. Should be interesting, who's he got doing the crafting for the rounds?"
"He conscripted Morrigan and Sarah to help. It should give them some practice working with their magic, besides if we end up issuing the guns to the field watchers like you want, we are going to have to be able to make the ammo."
"They're sneaking in classes right?"
"Yeah, Hermione was big on the schooling bit, she seemed rather mortified that pokegirls are denied a formal education back home. She wanted to storm the gates and rush back to fix things. I managed to convince her that the problem wasn't going to be fixed overnight. But I think it gives us a better chance of getting the okay if we want to rescue more girls from back home."
Gabrielle twisted on the bed so she could get a better look at Abby's face. "So how's Morrigan dealing with everything?"
"I think she's relieved to be away from our world, too many bad memories. This place gives us a chance to start fresh, even if we are part of a demon hunting organization. You know that's still a strange concept for me to deal with. Actual demons not just infernal pokegirls."
Gabrielle smiled, "Well I grew up with it, so I'm not sure what I would do if I didn't know about magic and demons."
Abby reached her tail around to brush against Gabrielle's toes.
Gabrielle shifted her toes slightly, "Hey, so what's Laura doing for chores?"
"According to her she's got the best job in the world, fight training. Go figure, not my idea of fun everyday. She's practicing against some of the newer slayer's Giles has been sending over. It's a nice change to see her fight something stronger than her, even if most of the slayers aren't faster than her. Though some of them are."
"You're just enjoying watching her lose now and then."
"Yes, yes I am."
"So what did Tiffany get stuck with?"
"Sorting out the computers and helping Lexie work everything into a complete whole. She's also trying to learn as much computer programming as she can. She's also as busy as she can be working on learning more science as well as everything she can about Lexie's advanced techs while cramming in magic lessons. Hell, everyone is cramming in as many magic lessons with the various teachers as they can. It's fascinating learning new things. I just hope that I can learn to use magical cards like my sister one of these days."
Gabrielle chuckled, "Just the enthusiasm in your voice is enough to make me want to stay here and skip out on going back to Hogwarts but I have to stay at least until the end of the year."
Tabby sighed, "I still can't believe you and Leo are going back to that school. You said it was a waste of time."
"No just some of the classes, the place still has a great number of books, besides it has access to the forbidden forest. It's a very pretty place."
"Very dangerous you mean."
"Details."
"We're going to miss you horribly, what happens if we go feral while you're gone?"
Gabrielle rolled her eyes, "Seriously, you don't have that problem yet. The other girls can keep each other from going feral just fine. Besides, Rose will be around to teleport us back for visits often, and I plan to abuse the fact that I have four very cute girls waiting for me here that enjoy licking me till I melt and explode. Speaking of which, we have an hour before dinner how would you like to spend it."
Tabby grinned as she rolled over so that her behind was within easy reach of Gabrielle, "Well I haven't been spanked in a while."
Gabrielle chuckled as she gently pushed Abby's shirt up leaving her bare ass exposed, "You are a very weird girl, you know that right? You wear a shirt and a top hat but no undies?"
Abby nodded, "I like the shirt and undies bunch around my tail. Just remember lighter is better."
Gabrielle chuckled as she watched Abby squirm as she started to lightly spank Abby's pale behind. "You know we are going to have to get you out in the sun one of these days."
"Maybe when it gets warmer."
"Oh I don't know a little ice to go on your tush, might be just the thing."
"Don't you dare."
Gabrielle grinned as she reached up and gently ran a finger over Abby's ear, as she brought her other hand down on Abby's rear. "Well then perhaps it would be best to stay still rather then squirming so much."
Raven frowned as she looked over a section of the computer lab that was piled high with boxes. "So you're saying you want me to clear the mess away and set up an audiovisual center?"
Lexie gestured around the computer lab, "Gabrielle mentioned that you have a number of home videos from her vacation, I thought you might want to set up a place to edit them."
"That would be cool, I don't suppose you could do me a huge favor one of these days and take me around to camera stores do you?"
"Oh?"
"Yeah, one of my powers is that I can conjure any camera I've ever held."
Lexie chuckled, "So the more cameras you hold the more options you have?"
"Exactly."
"Yeah cause going to London with a cute girl is such a huge favor, I think we can work something out. I mean other than the hands you look normal enough. And they will pass as gloves unless someone pulls at them."
"Thanks, makes me feel sorry for Kyara though. She can't really hide what she is short of using mental powers to make people think she looks normal."
Lexie's mouth slowly formed a smile, "So maybe you can tell me about your world as we work."
Raven grinned, "I would love to."
Gabrielle glanced up as a smiling Lenora walked in, "Hey you, didn't really get much chance to chat with you about your adventures, so spill."
Lenora grinned, "Well the magic school was interesting though totally different than Hogwarts."
"Oh?"
"The school was new, so everything had a fresh look, unlike Hogwarts which has that old as time castle look."
"Probably because it is an old castle."
Lenora walked over and flopped down on the bed next to Gabrielle, "Yeah, well it's a nice castle though some times I think we might get more done in a updated setting. Don't tell anyone I said that though. It wasn't just the building though, even the people were different."
"Such as?"
"Well our school unlike the one Rose went to encouraged pokegirls to go. Not only that but everyone wanted to go. It's amazing how much of a difference that makes. Everyone there wanted to learn because they wanted to learn about magic."
"And that's different than Hogwarts how?"
"Well there you're required to go, at the Wolf Institute for Practical and Applied Magic everyone that is there wants to be there. It was so much fun, you should have come."
Gabrielle smiled brightly, "Now you're sounding like Lillian."
"Oh she was in heaven there. I'm a little surprised we could drag her out of there."
"How did Rose get her to leave anyways?"
"Bribed her with half a library full of books and the promise that she could come back later. I'm afraid that she's so busy reading that if I didn't set food next to her she would be a half starved blurry eyed monster when she finally left the library."
Gabrielle chuckled, "So are you looking forward to going back to Hogwarts?"
"Yes and no I guess, I mean I like spending time with people but I'm probably just going to ask McGonagall if we can take the owls at the end of the year. I know we can pass them, and I'm really tired of this lying crap. I refuse to stay at a school that doesn't bother to control the students who like causing trouble. I know everyone deserves an education but teaching Crabby and Goyle magic is a recipe for disaster."
"Well I think after Dad kills Voldemold we're done with this world anyways. Maybe we can steal Trista and leave at the end of the year. I wouldn't mind going and seeing that Wolf school you were talking about. So what other subjects of note did you learn?"
Lenora grinned, "What a girl can't have some secrets?"
"Sure I can, you on the other hand."
Lenora pouted, "Hey, that's not fair."
Gabrielle smirked, "I know."
"Fine, we did some work with summoning."
Gabrielle's voice dropped to a whisper despite the fact that they were the only ones in her room on account of Abby being upstairs taking a shower. "Like demon summoning?"
Lenora shook her head, "No silly, Esper summoning. Sort of like demons but neutral, they were a type of magical pokegirl."
"So you think you can get it to work here?"
"That's the question isn't it? I'm not sure, I plan to go over the spells and techniques with your mother when I get back from school and see what we can work out. I left her a bunch of books on it."
Gabrielle nodded, "Well that's something I guess."
Lenora shook her head, "I'm the one that should be jealous you got four new girl friends that love you."
Gabrielle sighed, "It's not that easy. Sarah and Abby are fine, Helen is more or less fine, but Morrigan has some really deep emotional scaring. I'm sort of worried about leaving her here while I run off to school."
Lenora nodded, "Abby's the cat girl and Morrigan is the elf right?"
"Dark elf but yeah."
"Well tell me about them and the rest, I'm curious."
"Well Abby's wicked smart and cute, she's got a nice sense of humor. She's a little bit kinky which is fun but nothing gross. She's slightly ticklish. She likes to be lightly spanked which is weird but sort of fun."
"What about Morrigan?"
"Well she used to be an elf before she was forcibly evolved into a dark elf. She had some horrible experiences in her past that are best left in the past. Just don't try to start anything sexual with her and never mention cannibalism around her."
"That bad?"
"Worse really, but I'm trying to repress even the little I know."
"Okay so not opening that door if it makes you twitch."
Gabrielle nodded, "Yeah thanks. Remind me one of these days to have Illyria rip the people responsible for her abuse apart limb by limb."
Lenora nodded, "So who is your alpha?"
"Sarah, she's great at organizing things. I should probably talk with her a bit about a schedule for visits. But yeah she used to entertain us with card tricks over the camp fire, while we were roughing it in the wilderness."
"Leo said you had the tent, so by campfire you mean stove, and by roughing it, you mean a three bedroom home. You're horrible."
"Hey, there were still dangerous monsters."
"Feral pokegirls are hardly dangerous beasts compared to some of the things mom and dad have fought over the years. Besides I'm fairly sure you could take most of them in a fight, fair or not."
"Still some of them are pretty powerful, makes me want to step up my monster hunting here so that I can gather more power."
"Gabby, you sure that's completely safe?"
"Not really, but honestly how else am I going to make sure all my girls are safe."
Lenora sighed as she rolled over and looked up at the ceiling. "I still can't believe we are going back to Hogwarts in the morning. It was such a nice vacation."
"Hey I know something that will cheer you up, after dinner I'll introduce you to Helen. You can probably talk her into sampling some of her milk straight from the source."
Lenora blushed slightly, "How do you ask that?"
"Well I suggest asking her in a semi private setting, and she's fairly relaxed about it from what I've seen. Leo likes it."
"I'll see."
Gabrielle chuckled, "Just trying to share the wealth."
"You mean work. I read the report on how often milktits have to be milked."
"Details."
Abby was smiling as she walked down the stairs, fresh out of her shower, she didn't even have her top hat on. "Hey Gabby you're out of soap." She rubbed her chin in thought as she looked between Gabrielle and Lenora, "Okay which one are you?"
Lenora grinned and used a hand to flick her pig tails, "Lenora."
"Ah okay, sorry it's just confusing."
"You should see them when they swap hair styles for fun. It gets really confusing."
Lenora grinned, "How was your shower?"
"Really nice, though my tush is a little sore. I was hoping Gabrielle could put some lotion on it."
Gabrielle had a slightly impish grin on her face as she shrugged, "Yeah sure you were, sorry to disappoint but I have to work on my paper but I'm sure that Lenora would help you out. She told me she was fascinated by your tail."
"Oh really? Well if it's alright with Gabrielle."
Lenora blushed slightly, "Ah." She gulped, "Okay."
Gabrielle handed Lenora a container of lotion before sliding off the bed and walking over to her desk to finish her paper.
Lenora almost dropped the container of lotion as Abby hopped up onto the bed and sprawled. Her tail swished back and forth slowly. "Well you can touch it."
Lenora fumbled with the bottle before opening it and using a little bit of it to rub onto Abby's perfectly normal looking behind. She almost jumped off the bed when she heard Gabrielle's mental voice, "You can after you're done and if she looks to be enjoying it slide your fingers around and have some fun, I don't think she'll mind."
Abby frowned as Abby froze, "Something wrong?"
Lenora shook herself then glared at Gabrielle, "Nah Gabrielle was just being naughty."
"Ah, well that's why we like her."
"Ah."
