Chapter Ten
Plans For The Future
Three days had passed since Ahsoka was brought back to Coruscant, the council had given her a leave of absence to recover from everything, and she was enjoying every second of it. "That was the best round yet, your lekku was waaay in there." Merida said with a breath as she pulled the sheets over her bare chest.
"Yeah I know, have fun washing it after that." Ahsoka replied as she wiped her lekku with a cloth.
"Oh no you don't, we're not done yet." Merida giggled as she rolled on top of Ahsoka, gently pressing their breasts together as she did so.
"We're not?" Ahsoka asked with a grin.
"Goodness no, if you have energy to talk, then you have energy to play." Merida giggled as she started kissing Ahsoka.
"I do love to play." Ahsoka giggled as she kissed Merida back. "Should I get the handcuffs?" Ahsoka asked with a grin.
"We have handcuffs?" Merida asked with a little surprise. Ahsoka was about to answer, but her comlink started beeping.
"Awe, fun's over babe." Ahsoka said with a sigh before throwing the sheets off and walking over to the dresser her com was on. "Yes?" Ahsoka asked in a slightly disappointed tone.
"Don't sound too happy to hear from me or anything." Anakin's voice came through the com.
"Anakin, you're not calling Ahsoka, are you?! It's Saturday, Merida's day off from the museum, remember?" Padmé's scolding voice asked from the background.
"Oh sorry Snips, did I interrupt anything?" Anakin asked with a chuckle.
"As a matter of fact you did, I was just about to get the handcuffs out and... Uh... Did I say that out loud?" Ahsoka answered in a grumpy tone, getting quiet once she realized what she was saying.
"Ahsoka, could you stop being horny for just two minutes so we can talk?" Anakin asked with a chuckle.
"Hey you can't say that, only Obi-Wan gets to say that." Ahsoka replied in a slightly grumpy tone.
"Ahsoka, stop being horny!" Obi-Wan shouted from the background.
"Fine. What is it master?" Ahsoka asked as she sat down in front of Merida, who giggled before starting to rub her shoulders.
"Bubbles came by and was wondering if you'd like to join her and everyone else for lunch, she figured you could all talk about that vacation you desperately need." Anakin informed in a happy tone.
"Did she say what time?" Ahsoka asked as she leaned into Merida's touch.
"Around one o'clock." Anakin answered.
"Awesome, that's not for another three hours. I'll be there, thanks master. Bye." Ahsoka replied before hanging up.
"Finally. Ready for more fun?" Merida asked with a grin.
"When am I not?" Ahsoka giggled as she turned around, slammed Merida on the mattress, then pinned her down.
"I don't know why, but what you just did has me so turned on right now." Merida said with a breath as she gazed up at Ahsoka.
"Just what I like to hear." Ahsoka replied before continuing her fun with Merida. Ahsoka and Merida were having such a good time together that neither one of them had noticed the clock.
"I hope she's alright, it's not like Ahsoka to be late." Usagi said with a little worry as she looked behind her at the doors.
"I bet she's still in bed with Merida." Minako said with a chuckle.
"I doubt that, she may love Merida, but she's never that distracted by their activities. She's forty minutes late." Ami replied with some concern.
"Fifty yen says that she shows up in the next five minutes and tells us that she was distracted by something her and Merida were doing." Minako said with a grin.
"You're on." Ami replied as she shook Minako's hand.
"This should be fun, the smartest senshi versus the most intimate one. What will win, brains or heart?" Rei asked with a giggle. Her question was answered not more than five seconds later as Ahsoka came running out of a portal.
"I'm so sorry, I was with Merida and I totally lost track of time! Please forgive me, that was extremely rude of me." Ahsoka apologized as she bowed to everyone.
"Ha! Never challenge the goddess of love over matters of the heart, pay up brainiac!" Minako yelled with a smug smile.
"Yeah yeah, here's your money. Show off." Ami grumbled as she handed Minako her winnings.
"Wait, what's going on now?" Ahsoka asked in a confused tone.
"Oh, Ami thought you were late because something happened, but I figured it was because you were with Merida and lost track of time." Minako answered with a smile.
"I apologize everyone, my uh, urges, got the better of me today." Ahsoka replied with a small blush.
"That's okay Ahsoka, we've all been in that boat before." Mako said with a smile as she put her arm around Ami's shoulders.
"So, master Skywalker said that this was about some kind of vacation or something?" Ahsoka asked as she looked at everyone.
"It is, we were wondering if you'd like to join all of us for a family vacation. We have a small idea of where we're going, but we're not positive if it's going to work out though. But the date of departure will be the same no matter where we go, so it's okay to start talking about the details now." Ami explained with a smile.
"What dates were you all thinking about?" Ahsoka asked in a curious tone.
"We were thinking towards the beginning of July, that's in about two months." Usagi answered with a small smile.
"I'll have to request leave from the council, but with the war over it should be doable. What place were you thinking of traveling to?" Ahsoka asked in a curious tone.
"The current plan is to travel to a series of islands called the Galapagos, but we're not sure if that's going to work out. It depends on our friends and where they end up traveling for work." Minako explained with a smile.
"Wherever we go has to be more fun than hanging out at the temple all day." Ahsoka replied with a chuckle.
"We figured you'd feel that way. Here's a brochure of the Galapagos, look through it and tell us what you think." Kaede said as she handed Ahsoka a brochure.
"Wow, it's beautiful. Such clear waters and white sandy beaches, I'm already intrigued." Ahsoka replied with a smile.
"Oh yeah, perfect tanning conditions. So bring a bathing suit." Minako said with a wink.
"Bathing suit?" Ahsoka asked in a confused tone.
"Yeah, you know. A swimsuit." Kaede clarified.
"What's a swimsuit?" Ahsoka asked in the same confused tone.
"Like underwear that's made for the water. You really don't know what a swimsuit is?" Mako asked with some surprise.
"The only suit I've ever worn when swimming is a diving suit used for combat. It was one of those skin tight wetsuits that you wear an air tank with." Ahsoka explained with a sad expression. Everyone frowned a little at Ahsoka, but then Sarah smiled before putting a hand on Ahsoka's shoulder.
"Don't ya worry, we's gonna find you the sexiest bikini in the world; and after vacation ya can take it home and show it off ta Merida! Y're gonna look so hot that she'll be drooling over yer fine ass." Sarah said with a grin as she pulled Ahsoka close.
"Wow, really?! Thanks guys, I like the sound of that. Merida all hot and bothered over a piece of clothing. I'm getting all giddy just thinking about it." Ahsoka replied with a giggle.
"Oh Ahsoka, what are we gonna do with you and all that pent up sexual energy?" Rei asked as she playfully nudged Ahsoka.
"Sorry, Merida and I didn't really finish our activities today, so I didn't get much of a release after getting all, you know, excited." Ahsoka explained with a nervous chuckle. Everyone stared at Ahsoka for a moment before Naru broke the silence.
"Ahsoka, stop being horny." Naru instructed with a straight face.
"Oh come on! I'm not that horny! You're the third person to tell me that today! Am I really that bad?" Ahsoka asked as she looked around at everyone.
"Well, you are worse than even Rei. Maybe it's a species thing though." Ami suggested with a smile.
"My species is a very social one, and our culture involves a lot of physical interactions with each other as a means of non verbal communication. So maybe you're right, maybe my species is just more intimate than the average human." Ahsoka replied with a thoughtful expression.
"That would explain some things then, but it doesn't matter either way. Whether it's a cultural thing or it's just a you thing, we love you for you. So be as horny as you want, we won't judge you too hard." Usagi said with a small giggle.
"Thanks Usagi, it's nice to know that I'm loved, even with all my weird quirks. I love you guys too." Ahsoka replied as she hugged Usagi.
"Speaking of loved ones, I'm starting to get worried. The girls were supposed to be here a while ago." Mako said in a slightly concerned tone.
"Yeah, you're right. They should be out of school by now, I'll give them a call." Ami replied as she pressed a button on her transport watch.
"Hello? Hello? Did I answer this right?" A feminine voice asked through the watch.
"I recognize that voice." Ahsoka said as she listened closely to the voice.
"So do we, it's Him." Ami replied as she set the watch on the table. "Him, what are you doing with Blossom's watch?" Ami asked in a slightly angry tone.
"Who, me? Are you accusing me of something, Ami?" Him asked in a calm tone.
"No, I'm just curious why you have it. But I'm most curious about where the girls are." Ami answered in the same angry tone.
"They're a little tied up at the moment. Can I take a message?" Him asked with a light chuckle.
"Here's a message for you, lay a claw on our babies and I'll send you back to hell in a hand basket!" Ami shouted into the watch.
"Oh I know you would, Ami. But at what cost, if you harm me then they never go free." Him replied with a laugh.
"Free from where?" Ami asked with some concern.
"Poor Ami, so smart, yet you don't know. What's the most dangerous place of all?" Him asked with a chuckle.
"You sent our babies to hell?!" Ami screamed into the watch as she slammed her hands on the table and stood up.
"What?! Goodness no! I'm evil, but even I'm not that evil. No, they're trapped in a place that no one should wander too long in. Their own minds." Him answered with an evil laugh.
"You trapped them in their own minds?" Ahsoka quietly asked as she stared at the com.
"Oh, that sounds like the little orange demon that chopped me up last time we met. Yes, I did trap them in their own minds. They'll never escape, they'll spend the rest of eternity in there. Swallowed by their darkest fears." Him answered with a laugh. Everyone silently sat there for a moment, letting what they'd just heard sink in. Then Ahsoka started chuckling, surprising everyone, including Him.
"You used a mind trick on Bubbles?! Ha ha! You're done for, you really think that's gonna stop someone like Bubbles?! She's trained specifically in how to defend her mind from tricks like yours! Better luck next time, Him. I'll send you some flowers to brighten up your hospital room, assuming you survive that is." Ahsoka replied through her laughter.
"Laugh all you want, but I'm calling your bluff. Bubbles has the weakest minded of all the Powerpuffs." Him replied with a high pitched laugh.
"Is that so?" Bubbles's voice came from the background.
"What?! No, impossible!" Him shouted in an angry and surprised voice.
"Sorry master, but he'll have to call you back later." Bubbles informed just before the com went dead.
"I wish we could see what's about to happen, I bet it's gonna be epic." Mako said with a chuckle.
"So do I." Ahsoka replied as she closed her eyes and focused on Bubbles. Though she was a universe away, Ahsoka still felt a slight connection to Bubbles.
"I don't understand, I had you trapped in a nightmare. How did you escape?!" Him shouted as he stared at Bubbles.
"You call that a nightmare?! A bunch of creepy stuffed animals with sharp teeth!" Bubbles yelled as she force pushed Him against a wall. "No. A real nightmare is being shot down, left stranded in a jungle filled with animals and people that want you dead! Having to battle for your own survival, as well as keep your master and the chancellor of the republic alive; all while being hunted like animals by a mad man with a jetpack, as well as his army! You know nothing about nightmares if you think evil stuffed animals are the worst thing you can throw at me! I'm about to show you a real nightmare." Bubbles said in a low and angry tone as she grabbed her lightsabers.
"Oh my, I seem to have underestimated you Bubbles. You're absolutely right, that's no nightmare I sent you into. Here, let me try again!" Him said in his feminine voice, changing to his dark and demonic one in the end. Then his eyes glowed red and he stared at Bubbles, trying to look inside of her mind.
"Nice try, Him. Even master Yoda can't get into my mind without permission. Surrender now or die." Bubbles growled as she pointed her right saber at Him. Him grit his teeth in anger, but then he hung his head in defeat.
"Fine, you win this round Bubbles. Ta ta for now." Him said before vanishing.
'Not bad Bubbles, good restraint.' Ahsoka's voice echoed in Bubbles's mind.
'Thank you master.' Bubbles replied before walking over to her sisters and waking them up.
"Not an F!" Blossom shouted as she sat up in a fright.
"It's okay Blossom, it wasn't real." Bubbles said with a smile as she knelt by Blossom.
"Oh Bubbles it was awful! I... I... I didn't study for the spelling exam, I failed and everyone made fun of me!" Blossom yelled as she started to cry.
"Don't worry Blossom, it was just a bad dream. You're still smart." Bubbles encouraged as she patted Blossom on the back, then she woke Buttercup up.
"AAAAH!" Buttercup shouted as she sat up, throwing punches every which way.
"Easy, easy Buttercup! It was just a dream." Bubbles said as she dodged a few punches.
"Was it?! It felt so real! He's dead, they killed him!" Buttercup cried as she hugged Bubbles.
"What do you mean?" Bubbles asked as she hugged Buttercup.
"The poachers, they shot Donnie! I couldn't save him, my powers wouldn't work! There was so much blood, and I couldn't fix it!" Buttercup cried as she clung to Bubbles.
"Don't worry Buttercup, it wasn't real. It was just one of Him's tricks, Donnie's fine. It's okay." Bubbles quietly encouraged as she rubbed Buttercup's back.
"I want Ami mommy." Buttercup quietly said with a sniffle.
"Come on, let's go." Bubbles quietly said as she picked Buttercup up, then opened a portal to Ami's universe.
"Wait for me!" Blossom yelled as she flew after them.
"There there, it's okay Buttercup." Bubbles quietly said as she exited the portal with her sisters.
"What happened?" Ami asked as she and Mako rushed over to them.
"Him used a trick to trap us in nightmares, Buttercup saw poachers kill Donnie in hers." Bubbles explained as she handed Buttercup to Ami.
"What? That's awful! How could he do that to her, to any of you?! Oh sweetie, it's okay. Donnie's okay, Buttercup. It was just a bad dream." Ami quietly cooed as she gently bounced Buttercup.
"Mama." Buttercup quietly said as she clung to Ami.
"I know honey, I know. Just relax, it wasn't real." Ami quietly said as she continued bouncing Buttercup. Buttercup relaxed a little, then she stopped crying and looked at Ami. "There, all better?" Ami asked as she kissed Buttercup's cheek.
"Yeah. Thanks mommy." Buttercup replied with a sniffle.
"You're welcome, now sit down girls. Do any of you want food?" Ami asked as she set Buttercup in the booth.
"No thank you." Blossom answered as she and Bubbles sat down.
"Well girls, we have a surprise that might cheer you up. We planned a trip, and you'll get to see Donnie and his family on it." Ami informed with a smile.
"We will?" Buttercup asked with a small smile.
"Yep, we're planning on going to the Galapagos. What do you think?" Ami answered and asked with a smile.
"Wow! That's the place with those huge tortoises, right?!" Blossom asked with excitement.
"It sure is Blossom. What do you girls think?" Mako asked as she stared at the puffs.
"When do we go?!" All three puffs asked with enthusiasm.
"We'll take that as a yes." Usagi said with a smile.
"Well everyone, here's to a brighter future." Kaede said as she held up her glass.
"To a brighter future!" Everyone yelled as they threw their hands in the air.
