[Lexi grins]

That would make us a total battle couple. Honestly, that's always been kind of a hashtag goals of mine.

[she's trying to put the brightest possible spin onto things, fearing that if she doesn't, Luz might dwell too much on what did happen]

I definitely want them to approve of me. I, y'know, it'll be a little intimidating.

[Luz blushed a little here].

That's one strange goal, but I think I like the idea of us looking after each other.

[That was a good call. Luz really didn't need to think about how bad things had gotten in there].

For now, just worry about the people here. This is the world we're dealing with now, and as far as I'm concerned? You're my star in it.

[and Lexi grins]

Is it strange? I don't know. I played a lot of video games where you can end up in that sort of couple. But us looking after each other...that's a given.

[Lexi was far more observant and careful than her friends back home had ever given her credit for. here, she didn't have to be as careful. but she was as observant]

I will. Especially you. [and she melts at the description] Well, to borrow a phrase from 'Game of Thrones,' you're my sun and stars.

So have I! Honestly, that's pretty fun! Kinda scary in real life though, especially when you're looking after someone. You don't want anything to happen to them.

[Luz felt the exact opposite: she wanted to make up for all of the mistakes she made in being impulsive back home. Granted, she didn't always follow that].

And you're my home, Lexi. I'll make sure I can protect you when you need me.

Okay, when you put it that way I can see the drawbacks. Like you'd be so concerned with how you're other half is doing, you'd lose track of how you're doing.

[and that usually ended in a fatality. which she'd like for both of them to avoid as long as possible]

Ohhh. [Lexi visibly melts] I can't respond to that with anything other than a kiss. So you'd better get over here.

Which is why the both of you have to be super awesome! Also, just very well coordinated.

[Luz would definitely not mind training with Lexi when something bad starts to go down in Trench].

I mean, if you say so.

[Luz skips over to Lexi, because who could say no to kisses]?

Weeelll, I think we can get to that point. Between your magic and my apparently now activated Darkblood abilities.

[which Lexi was ridiculously proud of. she felt like a character out of a comic book hero.

other than Nosferatmew and Mewnose, as soon as their harness leashes came within arm's reach, she was going to grab them]

I absolutely say so.

And she's waiting at the door, many things floating around except for Mewnos and Nosferatmew whose leashes Lexi had a death-grip on]

You have to absolutely show me the stuff you can do! I can't wait to see it!

[That was so exciting! She couldn't wait to see what Lexi could do]!

[Luz, of course, rushed out the door with the staff. Within twenty minutes, Luz, in an overly puffed up coat with (surprise surprise) a reindeer hat and rabbit mittens. Clearly someone was trying to play up the cute of the holiday]!

Hiya, gorgeous!

Yeah, it's weird. I kinda feel like I belong in the X-Men.

[telekinesis? yes. messing with time? that, too. screwing with reality...probably won't be her finest moment, but yes.

and the reindeer hat and rabbit mittens are beyond adorable, so as soon as she gets within arm's reach of Luz, she tugs her in for a warm kiss]>

Wait, why did you say hi to yourself? [and she winks]

And now I'm imaging you in spandex Lexi, or a really cool mohawk. You did that on purpose!

[Luz was teasing, mildly. Only she could be slightly flirtatious and nerdy at the same time. She was definitely going to have to get an update on what Lexi could do though.

And Luz makes it over and is happily smothered with affection by her amazing girlfriend],

C-crikey.

[Luz manages to squeak, caught off guard by the one-two punch of the kiss and the compliment].

Oooh, classic Claremont 80s punk Storm! But you know, I'm kind of more a Kitty Pryde girl. Despite her constant on again and off again with Colossus. I always liked her with Rachel Summers more.

[and Lexi...could be nerdy. while attempting to flirt. because preferring the lesbian subtext was way more interesting than the text.

and she continues to hang onto Luz tightly, giving her another kiss]

Hey. I was asleep but I missed you, anyway.

[Luz laughed. She loved that Lexi had the same love of nerdy comics she did for manga and comics!

Luz couldn't argue with that, and pretty much couldn't anyway. She was practically mewling in Lexi's grasp right now].

It's been a long, crazy month. Now I feel like I'm coming home, mi mujer.

[it was one of the things which brought them together in the first place, after all!

and Lexi grinned as she tugged Luz into the house, closing the door]

Well, I'd like to think that's true, mon amour.

[This was very true! And Luz loved it!

And Luz made a small (yet cute) yelp as she was pulled into the house]!

Oh, it is! But now I'm here! So what do you want to do?

[and so did Lexi!

and that yelp was adorable. absolutely adorable.

however, most of her belongings are still floating in the air. she already had Nosferatmew and Mewnos on harnesses and leashes because she's paranoid and was afraid they'd get hurt]

Welllll. I was hoping for some quality time with my girlfriend as soon as we figure out how to get the rest of my stuff settled down. And you still need to watch a Neil Breen movie and we can eat popcorn and cuddle. Then, assuming we don't eat too much popcorn, I could make dinner?

[Luz was always going to be adorable: there was no way or getting out of that!

Now she was getting a good look at the things floating around, and it stopped her in her tracks].

Whoa! That's...kind of cool! So you're starting to get a start in using your powers! I better make sure I don't float away too!

That sounds great! The popcorn and cuddling stuff, the Neil Breen will be...interesting!

Ooh, really?! What did you have in mind?

[and adorkable. one of the reasons why Lexi fell for her!

and a freakin' lamp floats on by. one which looks way too heavy to be moved with normal telekinesis.

and Lexi sighs]

Okay. Maybe we need to get the moving stuff with my mind thing under control, then we move on to step two, the movie popcorn cuddling stuff?

[It was a two-way street, except that Luz also thought that Lexi was super cool in a place where no one had paid enough attention to her there.

Luz stares at the lamp and couldn't help but laugh].

You know, this is really making me think of the Boiling Isles now! But sure, let's do that!

[And Luz, being the girl she is, immediately jumps on the lamp in an attempt to pull it down and is now holding onto it fast].

Rragh! I think I'm wearing it down!

[and Lexi would say the exact same thing about Luz's Earth, that it had no idea who it was missing and probably wasn't cool enough for her anyway, but seriously, just pay attention!

and Lexi laughs, too]

Okay, um. Think non-floaty thoughts. But not down thoughts, I don't wanna get depressed, I just wanna get my stuff back where it belongs.

[and then Luz grabs the lamp]---wait wait wait, that wasn't what I meant! [she reaches for Luz's leg]

[Oh, they didn't, but Luz had definitely decided not to burn too many brain cells on a place that she wasn't around right now.

And honestly? Hearing her girlfriend laugh was more than enough to make her want to try harder]!

Yup, yup! Think all Peter Pan like descent! You can do it!

[Luz was making little yelps, but didn't look all too bothered].

You won't get away this easy, foul lamp!

[probably for the best. at least one of them needed to avoid worrying about shit back home.

and she was absolutely laughing, Luz was being beyond adorable and Lexi wanted to tug her down for another kiss, but they had Things to take care of. for example, Lexi's runaway powers]

Oh my god, I hated that movie growing up! Tinkerbell was such a bitch and the less I say about Tiger Lily, the better.

Anyway, come on down! And I feel like I should say something about the Price is Right now but what's-his-name, the guy who took over from Bob Barker? He's a prick. I'm sure the lamp is very impressed with your prowess. [and she extends an arm towards the lamp and it slowly sinks down]

[And Luz was doing her best to NOT think about home! There was already a lot to think about being here, after all.

Luz was, of course, hanging on for dear life. She was a Paleblood, so she didn't exactly know how to get this under control].

Was Tiger Lily that bad compared to the cultural fail that was the whole Indian sequence? And I kinda liked Tinkerbell, she was sassy and had hips for days!

[Granted, Luz was sure she would have had problems with someone like that in real life].

Drew Car-REY!

[Luz was still hanging on, and now she fell with no amount of fanfare].

See! I knew I'd wear it down!

[that was true. and again, Lexi cursed her fate to fall asleep at the worst possible time, one where she'd have known she'd need to be there for Luz, but wasn't.

and Lexi is thinking frantic back to the surface thoughts to ensure that her girlfriend doesn't hurt herself]

The whole thing was awful, but having her as the crazy jealous other woman was just. Yuck. And now Disney has made up a gazillion fairies to go along with Tinkerbell, but that appeal was lost on me.

[guess who hates the Disney-entertainment complex? this girl!

and she's on the verge of saying 'yes, that's the one' when Luz falls down, Lexi trying (and failing) to catch her]

Yes, you're very brave for wrangling that lamp. Honestly, I think I need to think back on how I was when I first got out of the egg thingy. Freaked out, confused, and pissed off. Maybe if I think the opposite of those thoughts, things will settle down? Literally?

Luz was going to have to be resigned to the fact that there were times where she went on adventures that some of her friends were better off NOT knowing about, and Lexi was included. She'd TELL her about it, of course, but she knew better than to try and drag her girlfriend into situations where she might get hurt, or see HER get hurt.

Like now]!

It was mostly men back then, and their whole basis of women were that they had to be jealous of each other. You sure weren't going to get an empowering woman story from early Disney! And I DO like the other Disney faeries, but I have a soft spot for Tinkerbell!

[Luz crashes face first of course, but manages to spring back up, though a little warily now. She almost drew some blood there, and did wince a little, but for something else entirely].

That was my thought! Mind over matter! Ugh, let me go and sit this one out. I forgot to tell you about my OTHER injury this month.

Wonder why you were in an egg though.

[This is Luz, trying to deflect and yet still tell her girlfriend the truth].

[Lexi felt pretty much the same way about Luz. That eventually, East Highland would catch up to her and someone from home would show up. Maybe even someone from her future, which freaked her out to no end. She wasn't sure she wanted to know what was going to happen next]

That's true. And even modern Disney isn't exactly caught up to the 21st century, not really. I mean they're like "oh look at this person, we have a gay person in a movie. As a villain. Or look at this princess, she didn't marry the first guy. She got with the second. Whooo, progress!"

[and Lexi kneels down to where Luz fell, looking concerned and ready to give her a hand up or try to bandage any wounds. but she catches the wince and isn't sure what to say about it]

--wait, wait, other injury? There's more? [she looks concerned]

So do I. All I did was sleep. It's okay, though, it's fine.

[and she's not going to be distracted by the mention of another injury]
