Arisugawa's Locket

Chapter 130

"YOU'RE GETTING A ANIME?" Panty blurted.

"We're as surprised as you are," Magia Baiser confessed, the villainess with devil horns, wings and a open top with star insignia over her breasts.

"I'm so happy we'll be animated!" Magia Magenta, the pink clad heroine and leader of Tres Magia cheered.

"I'm guessing for late night TV, considering the S&M bits," Stocking noted.

"I guess," Baiser whimpered.

Magia Sulfer, the shorter blonde, noted, "So far there's only a poster and a short clip out on the anime series."

"Maybe it'll be all ages then!" Magia Azul offered desperately.

Everyone gave her a LOOK, at the poor girl was most often Baiser's victim in the manga, AND had developed a masochistic interest in Baiser.

"Doubt it," Sulfer told her.

"There there," Magenta patted Azul's arm comfortingly.

"I'm not doing it INTENTIONALLY," Baiser pouted as Sulfer just GLARED at her.

Sailor Pluto sighed, "Could we please stop breaking the Fourth Wall?"

"Yeah, yeah, Time Bitch," Panty waved as the group left the main bar and headed back to the meeting room they had booked...

"How did THEY get a anime?" Ryouko, up at the bar, had to ask, the space pirate wiping down the counter.

"Yuri is big right now." Nabiki shrugged. "And we'd better stop breaking the fourth wall," she added, amused.

"Also, calling Sailor Pluto THAT," May blinked, shaking her head, the pretty brown haired woman in her usual maid outfit.

"Oh, that's Panty, a Angel exiled to Earth," Ryouko nodded, "I guess having semi-devine power means she doesn't have to take Setsuna's attitude."

"Or she just likes risking death," Nabiki deadpanned.

"Or that," Ryouko agreed.

"Whoa," May looked up as a young woman and a GARGOYLE strode in.

"Hello, I'm Alpha, welcome to Arisugawa's Locket," Alpha smiled, the green haired android on greeter duty this shift.

"Ah, hello," the blonde beauty smiled, "I'm Alicia, this is Demona."

Demona was nearly a foot taler, and her eyes were shining red with suspicion. "I'm CERTAIN this bar wasn't here when I patrolled yesterday," she noted.

"Ah, well," Alpha then explained about the bar's crossing dimensions.

"Wow!" Alicia blinked.

"REALLY?" Demona looked dubious.

Alicia chuckled, "You're a Gargoyle cursed by a faerie who fights plots by the Illuminati. You really can't say much..."

Demona nodded, "Point taken."

"Would you like a table? Or you can get a drink at the bar," Alpha offered warmly.

"Table," Alicia suggested, "this is sort of our first date."

"Oh! Congratulations," Alpha smiled and lead them to a private, corner table.

"You don't have to...," Demona started, a bit bemused by the fuss.

"Please, sit," Alpha lit a candle for them, "a waitress will be by for your drinks. We also have dinner options."

"Thank you," Alicia smiled.

"What a strange place... there's only women, and some I'm SURE are not human," Demona murmured, looking around curiously.

"You can tell?" Alicia asked.

"I can see outside normal human vision," Demona explained, "Alpha, our hostess, barely emits heat at all..."

"And I think that's a Elf. Wow," Alicia said as the woman strode by.

Just then a woman in western clothes, looking a bit like a cowboy, strode up. "Afternoon," she tipped her hat, "I'm Amelia, I'll be serving you tonight. Have you decided on a drink?"

"Do you have anything that would effect a Gargoyle?" Demona asked curiously. Liquor didn't DO much to her.

"Actually, we import scumble from Discworld, that'd probably do it...,"

"Shit. Lina Inverse?!" Mai Tokhia blurted, the busty strawberry blond looking at the two women striding in.

"Hey!" the shorter redhead scowled. Lina continued, "That's no way to greet a customer."

"We BANNED you after you two blew up the bar!" Mai protested.

"TECHNICALLY it wasn't me," the version of Naga said, a sword swung over her back and wearing practical leather armor.

"What," Mai blinked and they explained.

"And that's what happened," Lina finished explaining about the good mirror twins and their teaming up to stop a evil mage.

Mai finally shook her head, "Okay, I'll let you in. But if Arisugawa shows up and boots you, it's NOT my fault."

"Fair," Lina agreed as she and Naga ponied up to the bar arnd got drinks.

"Here you go," Mahoro poured them each their drinks.

"We'll need to figure out how to sneak off from Amelia and the others," Lina noted as they drank.

"Not 'sneak off,'" Naga chided. "Amelia, King Phil and the others ARE our friends you know," she reminded her.

"You know what I mean," Lina waved it off.

Naga looked amused, "Plus we need to stay around long enough for the wedding of 'other' Naga and Lady Hectate."

Lina chuckled at THAT. Prince Phil, after meeting Naga and Hectate, had INSISTED the two lovers get married. Partly for romance, party because he wanted a handle on Hectate. Poor Hectate... especially since she had only recently realized she loved her version of Naga,

"But yes, we'll go adv enturing," Naga agreed. She smirked, "I want to see the other Lina too."

"Ugh," Lina sighed. Mirror Lina was INCREDIBLY kind and sweet... it was nauseating. Still, she knew her Naga cated for her twin, so she'd put up with it.

"Want to rent a room here, too?" Naga purred into the smaller woman's ear.

Lina blushed.

"Well, this is NOT the Enterprise," Lieutenant Commander Una Chin-Riley murmured, sitting at a table in a corner.

"You THINK?" Lieutenant La'an Noonien-Singh noted, amused.

"At least the drinks are good," Lieutenant Erica Ortegas noted, sipping her rum.

"You're all taking this very calmly," Ensign Nyota Uhura said, wide eyed.

The group HAD been going to the Lounge on the Enterprise and had exited a turbolift... into THERE. Somehow. A hostess had ushered them to a table, and they had ordered drinks.

"This is NOT the strangest thing we've dealt with," Una pointed out wryly.

"Singing," Ortegas pointed out wryly.

"Time travel," La'an offered.

"Both directions," Una agreed.

"Point," Uhura conceded.

Ortegas swirled her drink, "You know, I think this is REAL alcohol, not synthenol."

"then go easy on it," La'an ordered. She paused, "How do you know that, anyway?"

"I HAVE been around," Ortegas smiled.

Ortegas ask Uhura to dance, leaving Una and La'an sitting together. Una sipped her drink, "I wanted to apologize."

La'an looked confused, "For what?"

"I know you sort of blamed yourself when the Admirality learned I was genetically modified," Una noted gently. La'an, being Una's friend, had learned that, and had assumed the info leaked from the Enterprise. A leak, as head of security, she should have prevented.

"It's all right," La'an shook her head.

"I should have told you what I planned to do," Una added.

"Well, yes, so we could have been prepared to help," La'an scolded. "Idiot."

Una chuckled, "Forgive me?"

"Oh, I suppose," La'an smiled back, then kissed her gently.

Notes: I've seen it translated as 'Gushing over Magical Girls' and 'Looking up to Magical Girls' not sure which is official. And YES an anime has been announced.

Two fanfic appearances! Heh.

I kind of assume by the time Star Trek happens, humanity has hit a point where sexuality is less of a thing. I also ship Una and La'an a bit... this is set after Subspace Rhapsody but before the end of season two.
