At first, the pink-haired meanie (Oros was it?) didn’t say anything. In fact, the girl had closed her eyes and appeared to be meditating. Perhaps this girl found it difficult to apologize to others, or admit that she had made a mistake. MDP could understand that, as she had a similar problem as her normal self, although she was working hard to change that. Maybe this girl was doing the same? In that case, and despite her anger, MDP resolved to give this girl the benefit of the doubt and allow her to apologize in her own time.

Meanwhile, their Christmas Tree (who was apparently named Eliza) had started talking, and she seemed more than a little irritated. 

[color=DeepPink]“Y-You’re not a Christmas Wistmas Tree?!”[/color] the whimsical girl gasped when Eliza took off her hat to demonstrate that fact. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess didn’t know you were a magical wagical girl person werson! She’s, like, super duper sorry worry, Eliza Wiza…”[/color] she added with an apologetic frown.

Eliza then asked about something called Keijo, which, after another girl explained the details, sounded like a [i]very[/i] odd activity indeed. Eliza seemed to agree, as she promptly walked away after the other girl finished explaining.

It was at this point that Oros finally decided to offer her apology, although what happened next left MDP utterly speechless. Before she knew it, the whimsical girl had been roughly embraced by Oros, who then proceeded to give her a [i]VERY[/i] unwelcome kiss. For a moment she was too stunned to even think. Her eyes went wide, her face turned a bright shade of crimson, and tears streamed down her cheeks. Once the initial shock had passed, and MDP realized that Oros’s lips were still pressed firmly against hers, the whimsical girl felt an overwhelming mixture of disgust, shame, and fury well up inside her. 

While Penny might have been the most powerful being on the planet for all MDP knew, the robotic girl still treated her with such profound gentleness. This girl, on the other hand, was vicious and wild, little more than an animalistic predator. Being kissed by her felt like the assault of some savage beast. It was easily the most unpleasant experience of the whimsical girl’s life, and she just wanted it to end. But still it continued. However, even worse than the awful physical sensations was the knowledge that her girlfriend was watching this horrific, shameful scene unfold. Oros wasn’t just doing this to hurt MDP, she was doing it to hurt [i]Penny[/i] as well, and that was something the Princess of Dreams refused to abide. Unfortunately, there was little she could do to escape Oros’s clutches. In fact, she could barely move. All she could do was hope that Penny would save her from this nightmare before it got any worse.

Three seconds.
 
That was the sum total amount of time that Penny had looked away from Oros. And when those three seconds elapsed, the rest of the world dissolved into static at the scene in front of her. Penny already didn’t like Oros, and this stint with ruining everyone’s fun didn’t do much to mend that perception of her.
 
And now this.
 
Penny was moving before anyone else could. Her eyes were blazing, but they were a vibrant electric blue, no hint of tale-tell red that normally accompanied her anger. In an instant she closed the distance between her and Oros and she reached out and grabbed the offending creep by the back of the neck. Her hidden limbs unfurled in the same moment, lashing out and grabbing Oros’ wandering hands.  All of her appendages were gripping hard enough to bruise a magical, if not crack bone.
 
Once Penny had Oros in her grasp she would violently drag her off of MDP, her remaining two limbs snaking out to gently catch her girlfriend. Then, with Oros still in her grasp, Penny would pivot and plant her fist directly on the monster girl's jaw with a clinical right hook. One that Penny did not hold back on delivering. In fact, she dragged Oros into the punch with her control over the other girls’ arms making it more akin to a jolt counter.
 
Penny would release her grip a moment after her fist made contact, letting the punch serve double duty of tossing Oros away from her, and more importantly, MDP. Then with all of her spider legs half curled around MDP protectively she would pin Oros with a cold, hateful gaze. 

In total it took her two seconds to rectify the situation. Five more than she ever wanted to give Oros.

“Alright, that’s enough, girls!”

At that moment, a puff of blue smoke exploded between Penny and Oros, causing Penny to release her hold. The smoke revealed Dan, who had transformed once more into a muscular figure.

He pointed a finger at Penny and shot a blue beam of magic, turning Penny’s arms into clothes hangers with ball points and her spider limbs into simple springs.

“I am very disappointed in you, Penny. You should know better than to let Oros aggravate you like this.” He then glanced at Oros, who also received a beam, turning her nose into a big red clown nose that honked every time she spoke.

“And you need to learn self-restraint, Oros. I can forgive the use of the satellite, but not this childish behavior.” He crossed his arms and stepped aside. “Now, I’m not going to end the spells I have placed on you two, until you have apologized to each other properly.”

Penny would stay silent at Dan’s arrival, not because she was waiting for Oros to try and properly apologize or anything, she doubted that Oros could at this point, but because her anger had rendered her mute. Even now simply processing anything that the Patron had said was proving difficult. She was aware of the curse that had been placed on her, so she did know that Dan was punishing her, but everything else he had said was still just static.

MDP gasped for air when Penny rescued her from Oros, before making a disgusted face and spitting on the ground. [color=DeepPink]“Icky wicky! Like, that was sooo super duper nasty wasty! Super duper thankie wankies, Penny Wenny~”[/color] she added in a softer voice as she gave her girlfriend a gentle smile.

The next thing she knew, Dan had appeared and begun scolding Penny and Oros. While MDP certainly agreed with the beast girl receiving a reprimand, she didn’t think that Penny deserved the same treatment. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Penny Wenny didn’t do anythingie wingie wrong, Danny Wanny!”[/color] the whimsical girl protested. [color=DeepPink]“She was just trying to save Magical Dream Princess from this meanie weanie pervert wervert!”[/color] she explained glaring at the pink-haired beast girl with a look of furious contempt.

Simply hearing MDP’s voice allowed Penny to start relaxing. Understanding what had been said could, and would, come later, her gaze didn’t lighten, but her stance lost some of it’s blatant hostility. Not all of it, or even most of it, but enough for those watching to be able to tell she wasn’t about to attack Oros again. For the moment at least.
