Not because of fear, but because more complex feelings as she als hissed under her breath “Eppur si muove”... and transformed as a reflex. Lily stepped back in response, still shaking from her violent outburst. “Wut” said Sakura, relenting on acquiring the movies after witnessing the start of a scuffle of the two magical girls. [color=a2d39c]“Violence… I don’t like violence… Can’t we just all get along??”[/color] said the panicky monster girl with the impressive mounds… of Gojira movies. Sakura just raised an eyebrow at her, but not before checking her out. It was then, when Sakura was distracted by the other girl’s...attitude, when Tenebra snapped. “Y...you! How dare you, bitch! Idiot! Poopyhead? Poopyhead!” Tenebra said, without even bothering to attack. “You don’t know. What the fuck do you know! We were cast away! We were broken! And then you came upon your fucking hig...high horse and your justice and nonsense stuff and started saying we were the scum of the earth. I bet you never had to witness you being dumped by your own mother as trash! Or...being born wrong because your mom did drugs! That your patron died? Boo hoo! At least you did have a decent one! I’m just a second rate bargain from a horror that nobody liked!” [color=fff200]"That doesn’t excuse what you did!”[/color] Lily shouted back. [color=fff200]”You bullied an innocent little girl!”[/color] Tenebra’s eyes turned to pinpricks. “And until recently, until my brain was fixed by magic, I could not even comprehend half of this. Yes, you got it right, I was brain addled, and those two were friends with me despite that. So apologize. Right now.!” Tenebra’s gravity hummed. Lily turned her head away, and took a shaky half-breath before she responded: [color=fff200]”You’re just like those other girls...”[/color] Sakura was left a bit agape, and looked at the other girl instead. “er… could you stop. I mean, Gojira movies.” Lily glanced at Sakura, and then back at Tenebra. [color=fff200]”I...I tried to save her, you know. I used magic I knew I couldn’t control, and risked my life to do it. And because of that, I lost a friend.”[/color] She wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand. [color=fff200]”So yeah...I am a poopyhead. But I at least try my best.”[/color] With that, she turned to Buttercup, and took the bundle of movies from her. “Soul was always rough… she just knew how much prostitute mothers with loving kids hit really home…” Tenebra admitted.”So she wanted to show me how it was like. That one was a cute potato, the poor thing was regrettably terrified. She did look like a cute little sister.” Lily turned back with the pile of movies, looking less resentful but still agitated. [color=fff200]”Well, at least you didn’t want to hurt them, but it was still wrong of you.”[/color] “So… it was you, huh.” Sakura said, eyeing the girl and Lily. And without further ado, landed a powerful blow in Tenebra’s stomach, making her reel and gag and Lily to gasp. “You know, I used to be the guy who was that girl’s father.” Sakura gritted, before offering a hand to Tenebra. “Water under the bridge. I don’t feel beating you into a pulp. What would it prove?” [color=a2d39c]”Um, those were my movi... “[/color] Buttercup weakly protested before relenting.[color=a2d39c]”You probably need this more than me though…”[/color] The girl admitted. And then it happened. Both Lily and Tenebra were pinned by the mighty hug of the monstergirl, who had them pressed against her warm chest. [color=a2d39c]”I don’t know either of you. I scarcely can fathom what you’ve gone through. But you girls did your best. For that, you deserve love. For that you deserve to be happy in this world. Everyone does. So wipe your tears, okay? There’s always a dawn after the darkest night.[/color] Buttercup said. [color=fff200]”Hey, what are you-!”[/color] Lily blushed upon being hugged, now clutching the movies in her arms. Though she first resisted the warm gesture, she gradually calmed down with a pout. [color=fff200]”G-Geez...”[/color] Sakura stood agape, briefly losing her cool upon seeing the action of the complete stranger. That Buttercup girl was something huh.- Hold on was she signalling that there was space for a group hug too? “Ugh, FINE! Hey you, wingy-chan.” [color=a2d39c]“It’s Buttercup…”[/color] “You’re coming with us!”. [color=fff200]”But Saku-chan, we’re already packed in tight there...And...”[/color] She sighed. [color=fff200]”...Fine.”[/color] She released herself from the hug, and looked at Tenebra. [color=fff200]”Hey, Tenebra...I’m sorry for the bad things I said, ok? I just...I was really angry, most of all at myself. Being a magical girl can be super hurtful. But, it also means we can change things for the better with our own hands. So, can you promise me that you’ll do your best from now on?”[/color] She asked. [color=fff200]”In return, I’ll promise to give you another chance.”[/color] Tenebra on her part, let herself be comforted, just letting a small pleased giggle as Buttercup filled the much sorely needed motherly gap she had in her life. “Huh? I’m sorry too.” She said sheepishly before prying herself from Buttercup. “I’ll do my best, then.” Lily smiled, and offered her hand for Tenebra to shake. Sakura sighed. “Okay, we're done now? Let 's go. Portal-chan, lead the way.” Sakura said, trying to brush off Buttercup’s attempt at headpats. [hr] [color=fff200]”We’re back!”[/color] The group returned, Lily having untransformed as she brought the DVD cases to the shelf next to the movie player. She picked out the first movie in the pile. [color=fff200]”Now, let’s start with...Huh, didn’t know these started in the 50s. Well, time to check out Godzilla!”[/color] After she inserted the disc, she went back to sitting in Alex’ lap; unlike last time, when she was obviously nervous, now she seemed to be more accepting of it. [color=fff200]”I-If you want to change, you can also sit on me, Alex. I don’t mind either way,”[/color] she said, and giggled as the rubber-suited man made his first appearance on the black-and-white screen. Meanwhile Sakura had arrived. “We got movies. This gal ceded them.” She pointed at Buttercup, who was now hugging Sakura. She seemed delighted, could her Horrible luck be at an end? Sakura eventually relented, due to a couple of reasons. [color=a2d39c]“Uh, spin the bottle huh!”[/color] [url=https://safebooru.org//samples/2958/sample_567fbd2abf5aba8279c0102b7ff756d929d2b140.jpg?3080432]Buttercup[/url] said. [color=a2d39c]“I may give a try later, today seems to be my lucky day!”[/color] Meanwhile, on the other side of the room a hot and bothered shoggoth girl received an electrifying sensation upon being zapped by Shane. Others would have reeled, but Shoggy knew that being kissed … and being struck as if by a current and being tingly meant one thing. It was LOVE!. Nevermind Ronin’s cupcake instead of kiss (she still ate it greedily though through a mouth that appeared on her hand), this was better! Clinging once more to Shane she began to talk: “That was amazing! I wuv you! Do you want to raise a family? Is five enough? Do you like eldritch pudding? Kiss me again!” The eldritch girl seemed to cling to Shane’s arm, and her motormouth was evident.
