[cs=2][atrb=border,0,true] we'll stagger home after midnight sleep arm in arm in the stairwell we'll fall apart at the weekend these nights go on and on and on With a groan, the blonde-haired woman forced her eyes open, finding her cheek pressed against the hard wooden floor of her abode. What happened last night? Why was she on the floor? As she sat up, her back cracking slightly, she noticed something stuck fast to her cheek, a note in fact. No, not a note, a photo? Curiously, the woman yawned, before peeling the thing from her face and staring at it through bleary morning eyes. It was hard to make out but... was that... Natsumi? She felt herself blush as she managed to take in the full contents of the picture, before giggling to herself. "Oh my~ Naughty naughty Natsumi~" Stretching and rolling her shoulders, Alyssa attempted to stand, picture still in hand as she pulled on the bed-sheets in order to drag herself to her feet. She poked her still half-asleep head over the edge of the bed, looking to see if there was anyone in it and to her surprise... there was. It seems she had pulled last night, though she had no idea who or why they had shared a bed, though the why part didn't matter too much. Slowly she absorbed in the woman's features, curvaceous body, nice strong hips, long legs and flowing red hai-... Wait a minute... "Natsumi!? Wh-... What are you doing in my room!?" Memories of the party the night before suddenly flooded her mind, all the booze, the cute girls and the dancing. The sweet, soft lips of some green-eyed girl at the bar, bliss. And yet... how did she end up at home, with this red-haired woman in her bed? She closed her eyes in dismay and regret, before noticing that she still had her party clothes on, a good sign, a very good sign. Quickly she got to her feet, slipping slightly as she realized she still had her ridiculous no back heel shoes on, before standing straight, staring at the woman on the bed. That shock made her heart race, having thought that she had slept with her co-worker. Her co-worker that was... so pretty... and so fun... and- No, no, no time to think about that. Thank the stars she hadn't woken her up yet. Still, they had to talk, just in case anything had... happened... last night. Unable to think straight, Alyssa simply pulled off her party dress and pulled on her white floral bikini, tying the sash around her waist before heading towards the door. She hesitated, unsurprisingly, before stepping back into the room, grabbing a pen and paper and hastily writing a note to her. "Dear Natsumi, please meet me at Sootopolis Beach when you have the time. Feel free to use the shower and make yourself breakfast, I don't mind... just please come meet me as soon as you can. Alyssa." -------- Alyssa sighed, closing her eyes to take in every moment of the water washing over her feet. She really hoped her and Natsumi hadn't... y'know... it'd make it very awkward at work if they had and awkwardness was something Alyssa wasn't very akin to. Still... a part of her knew she always liked her red hair... her soft blue eyes. Bringing her knees up to her chin she rested it on them, still relaxing with her eyes closed, trying to sort this mess out in her head. She jumped slightly as Aggron let out a happy screech in the water, paddling around with it's massive bulk. He was the only one she had brought... because he was the only one she trusted now. Deep down inside, this little part-goer was just a scared little girl, a scared little girl that feared the consequences of her escapades.

[Saito Natsumi]

The dull, relentless throbbing made her reluctant to move, open her eyes or indeed do anything at all, but the warm shafts of light streaming across her lower body managed to rouse her after a moment of silent debate. As she blinked the sleep away she felt her stomach twist as she realized that she was not home in her apartment, rather she was in a strange boudoir, curled up on a mattress that she didn’t recognise at all. Shit… What have I done this time… Rolling to the edge of the bed she sat for a moment with her head in her hands, fighting a wave of nausea. “Urk…”

Her gaze drifted from the floor around the room as she tried to solve the riddle and provide a distraction from self pity. She noticed the paper pinned to door last, but fortunately her legs seemed stable enough to carry her over to check it out. "Dear Natsumi, please meet me at Sootopolis Beach when you have the time. Feel free to use the shower and make yourself breakfast, I don't mind... just please come meet me as soon as you can. Alyssa." Hmmm, so she had ended up in the bed of her colleague, couldn’t quite remember the circumstances which might have led to such an event, and now there was this urgent, ominous note. “Must’ve been an interesting night…” She grumbled as she began to search for the bathroom.

--

Fortunately her Arcanine could make up for the time lost scrubbing herself into a respectable state and then foraging in the kitchen for something to settle her growling stomach. Astride the massive canid she scanned the beach for her any sign of her salvation, noting a slim, bikini clad figure in the distance watching a rather massive Aggron play in the waves. From here she looked quiet and lonely, almost melancholic, and she really hoped that she hadn’t done anything to ruin their friendship.

She had tried so hard to remember last night while she had been in the shower, hoping that the scalding water might cleanse away the muggy fog that shrouded the hazy memories. She was almost positive that she could remember falling onto the mattress with her, she could certainly recall looking down into those gorgeous cerulean eyes and then… a kiss…? It wasn’t difficult to imagine how soft her lips felt, or how sweet they tasted, but how could she be sure that it wasn’t some part of a wishful, alcohol fuelled dream?

Urging the somewhat reluctant Arcanine down towards the ocean, she pulled up beside Alyssa and hopped onto the sand, immediately feeling the soft grains warm her bare feet. The salty breeze ruffled the pretty yellow dress that she had found crumpled on the floor, and she felt a little self conscious of her unkempt appearance. After a moment of hesitation, she flopped down to sit by her side, Koko mimicking her actions, unwilling to greet the frolicking Aggron.

“Uh, hi Alyssa, I got your note.. I came as fast as I could, you probably should have just rolled me out of your bed-…“ The heat in her cheeks was troublesome, and she laughed nervously to try to lighten the mood. “That was some party, hmm? I mean, from what I can remember… Your dress was, ah, really pretty…” Natsumi trailed off, staring hopelessly into the ocean, praying that the feisty trainer wasn’t about to rip out her throat.
