Samus: "Oh! Tina it's your turn. You're the last girl. I'm excited to hear your list."

F. Robin: "Tina seems like a wild card."

Bayonetta: "I'm eager to hear your response."

Tina: "Oh shit, yeah it's my turn."

Samus: "Who's your number one?"

Tina: "The hottest guy in my opinion is-

Knock!

Knock!

The girls looked at the door.

Samus: "Hold that thought, Tina, let me get the door."

Samus opened the door to see Kirby. It's the bitch who's dating his ex. She forced a smile and said, "Hi, Kirby. Nice to see you."

Kirby: "Hiiii."

Bayonetta: "Aww, the cutie is here."

Peach: "Hi, Kirby~"

Daisy: *Proceeds to munch on pizza*

Tina: "Sup, bro."

Leaf: "Hi, Kirby."

F. Robin: "Oh right, she's a girl now."

Samus reluctantly let Kirby in. The pinkette sat on the floor by the coffee table.

Kirby: "Sorry if I'm late. Hi, everyone my name's Kirby and I wanted to make new friends tonight."

F. Robin: ["Damn, Kirby's kinda hot…"]

Bayonetta: "We're delighted to see you."

Tina: "Damn, it's crazy not seeing your ball form."

Peach: "How're you liking the crown mushroom?"

Kirby: "It's fantastic! I love that I got options now."

F. Robin: "So wait, does this mean that Kirby is gender fluid?"

Kirby: "What's that?"

F. Robin: "Means you like to switch your gender from time to time."

Kirby: "Sure~"

Samus: "Well Kirby, thank you for coming. We were talking about boys and who we think is the hottest."

F. Robin: "Yeah, Tina was just about to say her top three."

Kirby: "Oh! Ok."

Samus: "Tina the floor is yours."

Tina: "I was gonna say my number one is definitely Ness bro, I can't even lie."

Leaf: "I-I see…"

Tina: "Ya dude. He's fuckin' hot."

F. Robin: "Omg riiiight!"

Tina: "And his personality makes him look better."

F. Robin: "That's a no for me. He's seems boring. He gives off nerdy vibes."

Tina: "Nah, he's chill. He's a little shy, but it's charming."

F. Robin: "I'm not into shy guys. I want someone that's confident, but his face though… It's dreamy."

Bayonetta: "I actually think him being shy makes him cuter."

F. Robin: "That's cuz you a freak."

Bayonetta: "That's true."

Leaf: "Who's number two?"

Tina: "Sonic for sure."

Daisy: "Did you hear that Samus?"

Samus: "I heard it loud and clear."

Daisy: "Aren't you threatened?"

Samus: "No."

Tina: "She got nothin' to worry about. I ain't goin back to him."

Peach: "Going back?"

Tina: "We dated before."

Leaf: "What!"

Kirby: "Wow, I had no idea."

F. Robin: "What happened?"

Tina: "Hmm."

Leaf: "That bad, huh?"

Tina: "No, it wasn't bad. We just worked better as fuck buddies."

Leaf: (She really likes to sleep around, doesn't she?)

F. Robin: "Was it a bad break up?"

Tina: "Nah, we're still cool."

Kirby: "That's good that you guys are still uh… What's the word. Oh! Tight."

When the girls heard Kirby use slang, they all held back their laughter.

Tina: *Snickers* "Thank you, Kirby."

Bayonetta: "Oh you sweet summer child."

Kirby: "I'm older than you."

Bayonetta: "Is that so?"

Kirby: "Mhm~ My game is old."

F. Robin: "She didn't mean it like that, Kirby."

Kirby: "What did she mean?"

F. Robin: "Never mind."

Kirby: "Oh, ok."

Samus: "Anyway, Tina, who's your third?"

Tina: "My third is probably Kip."

Daisy: "Who?"

Tina: "An inkling."

Peach: "Is he in the roster?"

Tina: "Ya dude. He's the one with the blue man bun."

Peach: "OOOH. I know that one."

Tina: "Yep. He's pretty cute."

Samus: "I guess that's all of us."

Daisy: "Wait, what about Kirby?"

Bayonetta: "This is going to be interesting."

Leaf: "Oh yeaaaah, Kirby."

Kirby: "Huh?"

Samus: "Kirby, who do you think is the top three hottest guys?"

Kirby: "Oh! Little Mac."

Samus: (R-right, she's dating my ex… Not that I care. She can have him. They're both dumb so they're perfect for each other.)

F. Robin: "Well, duh, you're dating him. Besides Little Mac, who else?"

Kirby: "Um, just Little Mac."

F. Robin: "Fine, who's your second favorite?"

Kirby: "Little Mac!"

Leaf: "No, Kirby, you're supposed to pick another guy."

Kirby: "But I don't want another guy."

Leaf: "We know you don't want anyone else. It's just for fun."

Kirby: "But I don't find anyone else attractive except Little Mac."

Tina: "That's fuckin' awesome."

F. Robin: "I think you mean lame."

Bayonetta: "I love how loyal she is. I respect that."

Daisy: "So boring."

Peach: "Daisy, that's not nice."

Leaf: "I think it's lovely. I'm happy for you, Kirby."

Kirby: "Thank you~"

F. Robin: "Can I ask you a weird question."

Kirby: "Sure."

F. Robin: "Have you two boned?"

Kirby: "What?"

Bayonetta: "She means sex, darling?"

Kirby: "O-oh!" *Blushes*

Tina: "Wait, actually?"

F. Robin: "NO WAY."

Samus: "That's…" *Averts eyes*

Kirby: "No, we haven't done that."

Samus: "What!"

Leaf: "Really?"

Kirby: "I'm not ready."

Bayonetta: "Good for you sweetheart. Don't let a man pressure you into doing that."

Kirby: "Don't worry. He's super sweet and understanding. He would never pressure me."

Samus: "I-I see."

F. Robin: "So wait, since you're the only one in a relationship in this group, how's he like?"

Kirby: "Oh, he's so sweet. He's the nicest guy ever! We talk about lots of things like food, shows, games, boxing, exercise in general, and traveling."

Samus was jealous and she didn't know why. However, she can't show that. Instead she forced a smile and said, "wow, Kirby, you guys seem so happy."

Kirby: "We are! I've been trying to get him to get over his fear of heights. We've been riding in my warpstar every night. I think it's cute when he holds me tight and starts screaming."

Bayonetta gave Kirby a smile of approval.

Leaf: "That sounds ominous."

Kirby: "He has a cute scream."

Tina: "Damn, girl. You're intense. I fuckin' rock with that."

Bayonetta: "Never change, Kirby."

She smiled an innocent smile and said, "thank you."

Daisy: "Sounds more like a lunatic to me."

Kirby: "I do?"

Leaf: "No, it's just… The way you said it sounded a little scary."

Kirby: "Oh, I didn't mean it in a bad way."

Bayonetta: "We know, Darling."

Tina: "So, like, what else you guys do?"

Kirby: "Lately he's been getting me into social media. I have a tiktok now."

F. Robin: "Whoa, what! What's your username? I'mma follow you."

Kirby opened the app and showed her profile to the group. It was videos of her and Little Mac cooking together and doing funny videos. They already had a lot of followers and views for being active for two months.

Leaf: "Pink box star?"

Kirby: "Isn't it cute? Little Mac picked it."

Leaf: "It's so you guys."

Tina: "You guys are literally my favorite couple."

Kirby: "Thank you~"

Samus: "S-so you guys don't face any problems?"

Kirby: "Not that I know of."

Samus: "What if he hung out with other girls?"

Kirby: "I don't mind."

Samus: "And he doesn't mind that you hang out with other men?"

Kirby: "Nope. In fact, he encourages me to make new friends regardless of species."

Samus: "I-I see."

Peach: "Are you ok, Samus?"

Samus: "I'm fine."

Bayonetta: "You sure, Darling? Your face is a little red."

Samus: I'm ok. It's just allergies."

Kirby: "Oh no. I'm sorry to hear that."

Samus: "I'm fine. Anyway, let's change the subject."

Kirby: *Gasps* "Is that pizza?"

Samus: "Y-yes, want some?"

Kirby: "Um… Can I?"

Samus: "Of course, have as many as you like."

Kirby: "Ok!"

With that Kirby took off her crown. She transformed into her puffball form and sucked up all the pizza in an instant. The girls except Bayonetta looked at her shocked. They didn't expect Kirby to transform and eat everything.

The puffball grabbed the crown and put it back on turning her into a beautiful woman once again.

Kirby: "Mm~ Yummy. Thank you, Samus."

Samus: "N-no problem."

Bayonetta: "We love a woman that can eat."

Daisy: "Kirby, what the fuck!"

Kirby: "Oh, did I do something wrong?" *Frowns*

Daisy: "You ate all the pizza!"

Kirby: "Samus said I can have as much as I wanted."

Peach: "Daisy, you know Kirby is still learning how to be human."

Daisy: "No excuse!"

Leaf: "Daisy, please be understanding. Kirby doesn't know any better."

Kirby: "Oh, I'm so sorry. I thought everyone was done."

Leaf: "It's ok, Kirby. Just know that next time, please ask instead of well… Sucking all the food up."

Kirby: "I promise I won't do that again."

Leaf: "Thank you. We appreciate that."

Tina: "I thought it was sick."

Bayonetta: "It was badass."

Kirby: "I should've ate in my human form. It's just my human form eats so slow..."

Leaf: "It's ok, Kirby."

Daisy: "Hmph!"

F. Robin: "I'm still processing."

Leaf: "Well this has been fun and all, but my social battery is running low."

Tina: "Same actually. I'll see you guys later."

The other girls said their goodbyes to the two. Leaf and Tina left together.

Tina: "So, goin' to sleep?"

Leaf: "Oh, uh, I think I'm actually gonna eat first and then sleep."

Tina: "Shiiit. Same, girl. You goin' to the food court?"

Leaf: "Yes."

Tina: "Wanna go on a date?"

Leaf: "W-what!"

Tina winked and extended her hand out to Leaf.

Tina: "As friends of course."

The Pokemon Trainer reluctantly took it. Tina led them to the food court and ordered food. They sat at a table and began eating.

Tina: "So cutie, whatchu into?"

Leaf: *Nervously laughs* "Um, my passion is Pokemon, but you already knew that. Everyone does."

Tina: "Pokemon are cool. Ness has one. I think it's called an Esprion."

Leaf: "Oh, you mean Espeon."

Tina: "Yeah. He got an Espeon and she's so adorable."

Leaf: "Lucky's a boy."

Tina: "He's a dapper boy."

Leaf: "He is. Espeons are one of my favorite Eeveelutions."

Tina: "What's an eeveelution?"

Leaf: "So Eevees are the baby evolution of many. They can evolve to an Espeon, Umbreon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Sylveon, Leafeon, and a Glaceon."

Tina: "So many on's."

Leaf: "It's a lot to keep track of."

Tina: "Do you got an eeveelution?"

Leaf: "I have them all in my Pokemon universe, however, over here, I only have an Umbreon."

Tina: "Whoa, can I see?"

Leaf: "Sure!"

She sent out Fate. The Umbreon looked at Tina and went up to her. The inkling started petting the cutie. Fate sat there and enjoyed the attention.

Tina: "Aww, what an absolute cutie."

Leaf: "Thanks! Are you thinking of having your own Pokemon one day?"

Leaf: "Nah I'd be a terrible Pokemon trainer."

Leaf: "How so?"

Tina: "I'm a party animal. I couldn't care for it."

Leaf: "That's fair. Pokemon aren't for everybody."

Tina: "I respect those that can take care of em though. I dunno how you and Ness do it."

Leaf: "It's a lot of work, but it's rewarding once they start listening to you."

Tina: "I've noticed Lucky doesn't like to listen to Ness."

Leaf: "Eevees and eeveelutions are difficult."

Tina: "Damn, see I don't know shit."

Leaf: "I gave him some pointers. He just needs to keep at it."

Tina: "I'm glad he has you as a teacher."

Leaf: "Oh. Haha! Thank you."

Tina: "So you and him hang out often?"

Leaf: "Yeah. We see each other a lot at work. Sometimes we go to his place and listen to music and talk about Pokemon."

Tina: "That's fuckin' rad."

Geez, not a hint of jealousy from her. She admitted that she found Ness the hottest guy, so Leaf expected her to be a little possessive, but this girl is nonchalant. Does this mean she doesn't have a crush on Ness? Leaf wanted to ask her, but they're not close enough to have this conversation.

Leaf: "Yeah, he and I are pretty close."

Tina: "Dude, he's so fuckin' chill. I love that guy."

Leaf: "Love as in friendship, right?"

Tina: "Ya. He cool."

Leaf: "So, do you guys hang a lot too or...?"

Tina: "Not everyday, but sometimes yeah. I like to invite him to some parties and whatnot."

Leaf: "Do you guys hang out alone at all?"

Tina: "Sometimes. Usually at a mall or just on a random walk."

Leaf was relieved when she heard that they hang out outside. That means they haven't been to each other's room.

Leaf: "That's awesome."

Tina: "Ya dude. I think one of these days I'mma invite you guys over to my place and we can just chill."

Leaf: "M-me too?"

Tina: "Hell yeah. I like your company and y'all can teach me about Pokemon. I can tell you'd guys would banter about it and I live for the drama. In a fun way of course."

Wow, Leaf didn't expect Tina to casually invite her like that. Is she saying this to be nice? Does the inkling actually want her to come over? She felt silly viewing Tina as a rival. It's hard not to when she said that Ness is the hottest guy. It FEELS like she has a crush on Ness, but also it doesn't. She couldn't read Tina. She wanted to hate her, but couldn't.

Leaf: "T-thank you. I'm happy to hear that you wanna spend time with me."

Tina: "I love spending time with everyone."

Leaf: "I see that."

Tina: "I'll text Ness about it later. Anyway, I finished my food and now I'm sufferin' from food coma. I'mma head out. It was nice talkin' to ya."

Leaf: "O-oh! Ok! Yeah, it was nice getting to know you."

Tina: "Later~"

Leaf: "Bye."

Leaf watched Tina leave. She doesn't have to worry about Tina, right? There's nothing happening between her and Ness, right? It's gotta be the jealousy talking. Besides, she hangs out with Ness a lot more than Tina does, so she was positive that if he had to choose he'd choose her. They have more in common so it makes sense.

She finally finished her food. She got up and went back to her place. She fed her Pokemon dinner and turned on her tv. She felt happy that she hung out with other women. She only hangs out with two people and both of them are men. It was nice to spend some time with the girls.

When her Pokemon finished dinner they all climbed on bed and cuddled their trainer. She had a big smile on her face and cuddled them back.

Leaf: "I love you guys."

Charizard: "Char." (Me too.)

Ivysuar: "Ivy!" (I love you so much!)

Squirtle: "Squirt." (Love ya too.)

Fate: "Umbri." (I love you too.)

With that the five of them fell into deep slumber.

The Clone

Nate thought about his conversation with Electra. She respected his goal. They both have the same issue, yet they're going two different paths. Even though he knows Lucas will never love him again, he at least wanted to stop using sex as a form of distraction and escape. To him, it felt unhealthy. In fact, he needs to take action right now.

He took out his phone and texted his boss Kimberly.

[- Kimberly

DM

Nate: we need to talk

Kimberly: What do you mean?

Nate: actualy i think its bettr if we talk ni person

Kimberly: Tomorrow?

Nate: yeah after work if dats ok wit u

Kimberly: Sure

…

His heart was racing when he was texting her. He knows she's a good person, but she was still intimidating. She is his boss after all.

He had a hard time falling asleep. He's worried about how Kimberly is going to take it. Will she still like him? He hoped so. She knows about his sex problem, so she should be able to have a bit of understanding as to why he can't fuck her anymore.

The Next Day…

Nate woke up feeling not so great. He was antsy. Today was the day that he was going to call things off with his boss. He kept thinking about how awful it was going to go.

Ding!

[- Electra

DM

Electra: Feelin any better

Nate: yeah thx for askin

Electra: Hope ur day goes well

Nate: thx u 2

…

At least she's still texting him. He had a fear that since he basically cock blocked her, she wouldn't want to talk to him anymore. He thought she wanted him to vent because she was just being nice, but turns out they're still friends. This text proves it.

He got up from bed and took a shower. He brushed his teeth and changed to his uniform. He was all ready to go. However, as he was about to walk out the door, he heard footsteps. He turned around and saw Tracy.

Tracy: "Nate!"

She had sparkles in her eyes when she ran up to him.

Nate: "Hey, Trace, sorry, I wanna chat, but I have to go right now."

Tracy: "Hold on, I'll be quick."

Nate: "Ok, what was it?"

Tracy: "Guess who got a boyfriend?"

Nate: "Whaaaat!"

Tracy: "This girl~!"

Nate: "Ayyye, nice!"

Tracy: "Yep. I'm so happy."

Nate: "That's awesome. I wanna hear more about him when I come back."

Tracy: "Omg yaaas. I can't wait to tell you everything~"

He smiled at her and left. He felt happy for his little sister. However, he had a feeling that if Rachel found out, they'll fight again. Hopefully he'll be there to calm them down.

As he walked inside Mach Pizza, he clocked on and worked as usual. He heard Trey and Ben laughing in the back. He desperately wanted to go over there, but the customers kept piling up. It was a long day, but eventually he was able to meet up with the boys when it died down.

Nate: "Hey, guys…"

Ben: "Wassup, bro!"

Trey: "You look and sound exhausted."

Nate: "I am."

Ben: "Trey and I killed it. We didn't feel the rush."

Nate: "That's great, Ben."

Trey: "Ben and I were talkin' about how Ben is a fuckin' abuser."

Nate: "Wha?"

Ben: "It's true. I like hurting my women in bed."

Nate: "Like bein' rough?"

Ben: "That and some crazy kinky shit. Ya know like tiein' them up and doin' some bdsm action."

Trey: "Ya know, like bondage and playin' with kinky toys."

Nate: "That kinda sounds like fun."

Trey: "Ah hell nah. I couldn't do that to my girl."

Nate: "You a sub or somethin'?"

Trey: "Hell nah. But I ain't that intense."

Ben: "Trey doesn't use toys."

Trey: "Listen, I don't wanna talk about this no more. You're makin' me uncomfortable."

Ben: "Trey's too vanilla."

Trey: "You're also a minor and I don't wanna discuss sex shit with you."

Ben: "I'm a year younger than you."

Trey: "Two years."

Ben: "I'm turning eighteen next month, fool."

Trey: "Whateva. I don't wanna hear about your fuckin' sex life in general."

Ben: "You're no fun."

Trey: "So, Nate, I have some questions about your powers."

Nate: "Maybe not here at work."

Trey: "It's all good, ain't no one gon care."

Nate: "You sure?"

Trey: "Yeh. People are gon think we talkin' about a videogame."

Nate: "Mkay. Whatcha wanna know?"

Trey: "So like was you born with it?"

Nate: "Yes."

Trey: "And like your brother is the one that saved Eagleland, right?"

Nate: "Yeah, not me."

Trey: "What was you doin'?"

Nate: "Stayin' at home. I was too scared."

Trey: "So like is your brother stronger than you?"

Nate: "Absolutely. It's not even a contest."

Trey: "But you still strong, yeah?"

Nate: "I think I'm the strongest one in Eagleland right now."

Trey: "With yo scrawny ass I wouldn't believe you, but after seein' that cup levitate, I can't say shit."

Ben: "No way. Let's arm wrestle."

Nate: "Sure."

The two arm wrestled and Nate beat him in an instant. Trey jumped and put his hands on his head.

Trey: "OH SHIT! Ayo lemme try."

Nate: "Sure."

Same result. Trey didn't stand a chance.

Trey: "Holy shit, bro."

Nate: "I'm pretty strong."

Trey: "And your brother is stronger?"

Nate: "Like by a thousand times more yes."

Trey: "If I arm wrestle that motherfucker, he gon take my arm off."

Nate: "And by accident too."

Ben: "Damn, that's crazy."

Trey: "So like your parents got these powers?"

Nate: "I know our mom doesn't, but my dad… Maybe. I'm not sure."

Ben: "Bro, how do you not know?"

Nate: "I've never met him."

Trey: "Ah… I feel you man."

Nate: "You never met your dad either?"

Trey: "Nah, bro went to go get milk and never came back."

Ben: "Damn, I'm sorry to hear that."

Nate: "That sucks…"

Trey: "It's all good. I don't need him. I got my mom and my lil bro to look after."

Nate: "You got a little brother?"

Trey: "I do. His name Tim."

Ben: "Lil Tim."

Trey: "Yup. I love that boy. He's only nine, but he a smart kid."

Ben: "Different dad I assume."

Trey: "Yeh. His dad is in the army right now. He got moved to a different country, but he's comin' back in three years. Lil Tim always be countin' the days."

Nate: "I'm glad he's coming back."

Trey: "Yeh. He a cool dude. I wish he could come back sooner. In fact, he's gon help me pay for my college."

Nate: "He sounds like an awesome person."

Trey: "He is. He got his anger issues, but besides that, I like him."

Ding-a-ling

Trey: "Looks like that's your cue."

Nate: *Sighs* "Alright, I'll see you guys later."

Ben: "See ya!"

Nate took the customer's order like usual. He stayed in his post until it was finally closing time. Kimberly let everyone out and locked the place up. When everyone left, Nate and Kimberly sat at a bistro table.

Kimberly: "So what did you wanna talk to me about?"

Nate: "It's about us."

Kimberly had a serious intimidating look on her face.

Kimberly: "What about us?"

Nate: "I… *Sighs* I don't think we should sleep together anymore."
