Boy, am I embarrassed.  I forgot this chapter had lemon in it when I sent it out the first time.  WHOOPS!  Anyway, I've marked it on the subject line this time.  So far, chapters 1, 3 through 7 do NOT have lemon.  There is some lime, but I think most people who can write legible responses can handle such scenes.  My link to the webpage shows where you can get chapters 1-7 in advance.  I'll send out a chapter a week from now on, but you can get the chapters in advance through the link.

    Advanced Variable Geo - Variable Nu
    Chapter 2 - Goddesses of Partying Down!
    by A-kun

    Note: You don't _have_ to know about Variable Geo (or Advanced Variable Geo as the game is called) to read this fanfic.  However, I do introduce some of the older characters without giving them an explanation until the end of the fanfic.  Expect spoilers for the Anime and some self-made decisions on outcomes.  Also, I'll be using the Anime as kind of a background, but somethings, like Washio, will be edited out.  Just replace Washio with Nameless Witless Minion #6 and edit out every frame where Reimi comes on to Washio.  If you don't know who Washio or Reimi are, FOR SHAME!  You've missed the best parts!

    Lemon Note: *Mega-Blush* Um, yeah.  There ARE _some_ naughty bits in this series.  I've decided to outline those heavily, so if you don't want to read Lemon, I'll mark the Lemon bits with the following tag: [[[[LEMON]]]]  The rest of the story will continue with [[[[BATTLE]]]]
    Standard Lemon Warning: If you are under 18 or whatever is the legal age for viewing pornography, then I heavily advise you to avoid the Lemon sections.  However, I'm sure some hormone-driven teen is going to ignore me, so I'll just say this, "It's your fault if you get caught, not mine,"

    Extra Note: In the Lemon section, I'll leave a bunch of footnotes.  Yeah, I'm lame.  Deal.

    ===================================================

    Repeat Intro:
    In the near future, the faltering "Family Restaurant Industry" began to sponsor fighting tournaments featuring members of their own staff in order to boost their patronage... Full contact waitressing. As it quickly becomes known as more of a success than even the most optimistic restauranteur had hoped.
    But there's more at stake here than prize money and free advertising. The mysterious Jahanna Group, which has marketed the tournaments, has quietly begun to infiltrate the restaurants which feature Full-Contact Waitressing.
    The tournament fighters are called "VG Warriors" and carry special cards that allow them to call and challenge each other among other things such as call up specially-made rings and conformation poles which confirm that she is a VG Warrior and that she is still active in the tournaments.
    Eh.  Enough with the boring crap, ON WITH THE STORY!

    Last Episode: Ayako Yuuki lost to a new warrior by the name of Yuki Asamiya, Manami Kusonoki defeated a newbie named Maya, Jun fought and beat a kick-boxer named Rei, and Yuka and Reimi had a talk.

    ******    ******    ******    ******    ******

    Jun and Manami arrived in front of Yuka's apartment building about an hour and a half later.  Manami gleefully hopped out of the sidecar as Jun dismounted the motorcycle.  The duo walked into the building and the elevator.  Manami made a fuss over getting to push the buttons, causing Jun to once again doubt the younger VG warrior's previous claims to be old enough to be in VG.
    "So, you didn't tell me much about why you were on the other side of Tokyo," Manami said.
    "I got a challenge.  I answered and kicked her butt," Jun responded, unzipping her riding jacket to let her skin cool off.  At times, the jacket could seem more like a portable sauna than a mere jacket.  She tugged open a flap and began fanning her sweat-covered skin.  She always had a hard time choosing jackets.  She'd get really cold if she had a jacket that let too much wind through, but she'd cook if she chose a jacket to keep her warm.
    "No cool details?" Manami inquired.
    "Well, she did do this really weird spinning attack where she managed to kick at me five times in a row, but I was too fast and too strong.  She never had a chance," Jun said, smiling with pride.
    Jun turned to her idol singer/VG warrior companion.
    "So, how was your match?" Jun asked.
    "Eh.  One Cat Rocket Punch and she was HISTORY!" Manami said, striking her victory pose.
    "Not surprising.  Those things weigh how much?" Jun inquired.
    "Trade secret.  You have to beat me in a match first," Manami responded.
    Jun decided that Manami's secret could wait as the elevator doors opened to reveal Yuka trying to get in her apartment while juggling two bags of groceries.
    "YUKA!" Manami cried cheerfully.
    Yuka was distracted long enough for the groceries to begin to tip over.  With quick reflexes, Yuka managed to snap both bags again, but her keys fell to the floor.  Chuckling, Jun and Manami walked over to help her.  Manami took the bags while Jun fetched the keys.  Yuka wondered how much sugar Jun had been eating lately as the wrestler bounced to her feet in a Manami-esque manner and presented the keys to Yuka while smiling brightly.
    "Uuuuuuhhhh, thanks," Yuka said, taking the keys and opened her apartment door.  Jun and Manami walked in after Yuka.
    Manami set the bags down near the entryway as the trio took off their shoes.  Yuka, deciding not to burden her guests, leaned down and picked up the groceries, causing said guests to take on extremely lecherous looks.  Yuka wondered what the looks were about, then shook her head, deciding that it was one of those things that she'd find out someday.  Like how to regularly get to work on time.
    "Hey, Yuka, have you had your first fight yet?" Jun inquired as they all entered the main room to Yuka's apartment.
    "No, not really.  I'm going to practice for a few more weeks before I do any challenging.  I took it easy for WAAAAY too long.  I've gotta get back into shape," Yuka answered.
    "Really?  You look good enough to eat..er, fight right now," Jun said, trying to cover up her slip of the tongue.
    "Okay...," Yuka said, politely turning around before rolling her eyes and going into the kitchen to put the groceries away.
    "Back off, she's mine," Manami hissed.
    As most of Jun's old sparring partners, more than a few of whom were still in traction even after all these years, could've told Manami, Jun rarely backed down from anything.  Many badly dented soda machines could also testify that the aforementioned fact was, indeed, true.
    "I saw her first," Jun hissed back.
    Manami wasn't one to give up.  All she had to do was up the ante`.
    "I bet you've never squeezed her before," Manami responded.
    Jun was getting mad.  Manami's cuteness had a way of angering her quite easily.
    "Shouldn't you be in bed yet?  It's past your bedtime," Jun hissed.
    Manami growled softly.  One thing a lot of people teased her about was the fact that she looked so young.  Some of her first VG opponents had gone so far as to offer her candy in exchange for throwing the fight.  Those VG warriors paid for their little...offenses.  She had taken the candy, then kicked their asses.
    "And how did you get thrown out of the Olympics again?" Manami inquired.
    Manami should known that even if it had been a while, Jun Kubota was still sensitive about her dishonorable disqualification from the Olympics.  For her, you might have well have said something mean about one or both of her parents.  Needless to say, something that Manami felt would be a sting was more like a bazooka shell.
    "Listen, jailbait, I didn't have to give you a ride," Jun snarled.
    Manami's eyes lit up with rage.  Their conversation had gone from "quiet hissing" to "wake the dead".
    "JAILBAIT?!  LISTEN, YOU OLD HAG-" Manami began.
    "OLD HAG?!" Jun demanded, flaring with power.
    Luckily, Yuka stepped between them, pushing them apart and breaking their direct eye contact.  Both reverted from murderous psychopaths to googly-eyed teenage girls in front of their favorite idol in less than .0183 seconds.
    "Knock it off you two!" Yuka commanded.
    Both were off in mini-daydreams, but managed to answer in unison with, "Hai, Yuka-sama,"
    Yuka groaned and lowered her head to sigh, accidentally allowing both to regain eye contact.  The duo stared at each other and agreed on one thing.  Before the week was up, they'd fight to see who got to make a move of Yuka and who had to stop bugging Yuka.
    "So, what's up?" Yuka asked, motioning the two into seats that were far enough apart that they couldn't reach each other and yet, close enough for a conversation.  Yuka was hoping that both would settle down.
    "Um, so did you two have your first matches?" Yuka asked.
    Jun and Manami stopped glaring daggers at each other long enough to reply.
    "Yeah, this year's challengers are all talk and no show," Jun said, smirking confidently.
    Manami nodded her head in agreement.
    "I was fighting a girl who thought she was good enough.  She hadn't even gotten far in the last tournament she had been in," Manami responded.
    "Mine was a kick-boxing champ, but nothing against the likes of us," Jun said.
    "Well, that's nice..," Yuka began.
    "Oh yeah!  I wanted to invite you out on the town, sort of a girl's night out," Jun explained.
    "Huh?  Girl's night out?" Yuka asked.
    Manami, realizing that Jun's plan was even better than whatever she could come up with, decided to forget the insults tossed out not more than two minutes ago and agreed, "Sure, it'll be fun!  We can all see a movie, eat at a good resturaunt, and visit an arcade!"
    "I don't know..," Yuka began, wondering why Manami was being so complimentary towards Jun's idea when the two had been ready to kill each other before she had interupted them minutes before.
    "Manami's right, we can all check out that movie that just came out, 'Cafe Ala`Dante'.  I've heard it's a little artsy, but it's probably better than, 'Godzilla Jr. versus Evangelion' or 'Revenge of the Bobbit'," Jun suggested.
    Before Yuka could protest, Manami and Jun grabbed her hands and pulled her to her feet.
    "Let's go, Yuka!" they said in unison.
    Yuka sighed and relented as long as they didn't try and kill each other.

    Somewhere, in a darkened 40 ft. by 30 ft. by 15 ft. room, a girl sat in a plush chair.  She was staring at the fireplace before her, which had died down to some glowing embers.  In her right hand was a goblet and in her other hand a brandy glass.  In the goblet were chiclets, which neared the brim.  In the brandy glass, green M&Ms.  She cast her gaze between the two, then proceed to 'drink' some from each, munching happily on the mixture.  Behind her, the door opened and a hand reached for the light switch.  The girl, hearing the sound, turned her head and body to stare at the hand for a second.
    "DONFTRRR TURRFFF ITSF-" she began.
    The hand stopped, the owner presumably realizing what the girl had meant or perhaps it was the bits of green M&M stuck to it's hand.  A butler entered, followed by two maids who sighed in disgust at the mess the girl had made by shouting.  Half-chewed bits of green M&Ms and chiclets covered a ten foot path towards the door and up the side of the door.
    "Here you go, madam," the butler said, nearing the girl and presentng a thick green folder as the girl swallowed the remaining green M&M bits and chicklets before placing both glasses onto the nightstand next to her.
    "Ahh, excellent.  All is going well for my debut?" she inquired.
    "It is just as you hoped.  Your sister has already entered the tournament and has defeated one of the veterans," the butler responded.
    "She _will_ be a powerful opponent.  I wonder what they'll do when she reaches her strongest power output," the girl mused, before chugging some green M&Ms.
    The butler stared at her for a bit, sighed, reminded himself that she paid him and the maids incredibly well, and continued, "Two of the other newest VG warriors have already lost,"
    "Hmph.  Amateurs.  They probably still don't understand the true purpose of the tournament," the girl giggled, before munching on some chiclets and trying to blow a bubble.
    One of the maids opened the door to the fireplace, prepared to place another log of wood inside and to reheat the fire when a half-chewed gob of chiclets flew past her head and landed in one of the embers.  She turned to see the girl blushing.
    "Sorry!" the girl apologized.
    The maid continued her duty, trying to ignore the smell of burning chiclets.

    Yuka stared at the screen.  She had good reason not to, but much like a deer caught in the headlights of a falling skyscraper, she found herself unable to look away.  Oh, the movie had been over for a few minutes, but she was attempting, and failing, to grasp the purpose of the story.
    "So, what was it about?" Yuka asked finally as she, Manami and Jun slowly stood up.
    "From what I could tell, the guy with the circle thingy of thorns was supposed to be the bitchy in-law.  After that, the Dante guy met Silent Bob and Jay and they pretty much had coffee over tea and crumpets.  Then Jay managed to get them into a resturaunt and forced the Dante guy to buy them the $1200 dollar meal on the naked lady and Dante supposedly hits Nirvana and explodes, destroying the resturaunt in a display of special effects that cost roughly 1.68 million dollars.  Mostly for the naked inflatable Naga doll," Manami explained as best as she could.
    "They lost me after the title screen," Jun announced, shaking her head.
    "That was before the opening credits, wasn't it?" Yuka inquired.
    "Exactly," Jun responded.
    They started laughing at the sheer stupidity of not only wasting a total of thirty-five dollars and an hour and forty-five minutes on a movie that made absolutely no sense whatsoever.  Finally, they just decided to head to the SOTO, where both Manami and Jun were hoping to get Yuka on the dance floor.  Yuka, on the other hand, was hoping to have some mind-numbing fun staring at other people dance.

    Kaori Yanase took note of the newcomer again.  It wasn't difficult to notice someone staring at her from fifty feet, no matter how much of her attention was devoted to another task.  Finally, she finished and saved her game of SimCity, then reactivated her scanning program, which had been paused for the last hour.  It sprang to life with the necessary information. The girl in front of her had a far lower speed, endurance and spirit.  However, her strength exceeded everything else that Kaori had seen before.  But, as VG matches had shown numerous times before, it took more than one gimmick to make it anywhere in the VG world.
    "According to my Digi3000, I am superior to you in speed, endurance and spiritual energy.  Given the number of advantages I have, I would strongly recommend against challenging me.  You have plenty of time to train to become even more powerful," Kaori suggested as she stepped away from her computer and adjusted her glasses.
    Deciding to lengthen this chapter, the author again decided to describe Kaori and her opponent (Editor's note: Wait, he did before?).  Kaori was a slender and pale girl wearing black pants and a purple and white vertical striped shirt.  With elbow and knee pads, she had the look of a sports referee.  Her fairly-thick rimmed glassed and long dark purple hair increased the look of someone who was not physically violent.  But as many of her opponents had learned, 'computer geek' was an advantage, not a fault. Despite her looks, Kaori was more than able to defend herself against almost any opponent.
    Her opponent was two feet taller than her and had an extremely wiry frame.  Her hair was short and a dark blonde, bordering on brown, but not close enough.  She had on a white sleeveless shirt and a pair of red shorts.  With the wrappings on her arms, Kaori surmised that the girl was either a kick-boxer or a boxer.  The lack of wraps on her legs declared that boxing was probably the game this girl was best at.
    "Shut up and fight," the girl grunted, launching forward, crossing the distance in nine long steps and coming in fast, punching at Kaori with power that would've been startling if Kaori didn't know what to expect.
    Kaori leapt over her opponent, Erika, if Kaori recalled her name correctly, and took up a neutral stance.  Kaori was severely hoping that Erika had enough wits about her to realize that fighting was useless.  Erika apparently didn't know when, or at least wasn't the type, to give up.  Erika shot forward with a series of fast jabs and strong punches.  Kaori counter-attacked with a spinning roundhouse kick to Erika's stomach.  Erika grunted, but the strength in her stomach told Kaori that she had forgotten all of the aspects of strength.  Erika may have a lower endurance, speed and spiritual energy, but her sheer strength allowed her to withstand a lot of damage.  It was like Erika had armor on.
    Kaori backed away and considered her options.  Strength was also a weakness as Erika obviously hadn't taken the time to develop any special manuevers or even a simple energy attack.  Which meant that in all likelyhood, Erika had forgotten to train in any energy techniques whatsoever and thus, she had no real defence against a spiritual attack.  Realizing the key to victory was always fun, especially against someone who might have otherwise proven a serious challenge.  Then, Kaori realized something.  By taking advantage of her opponent's severe weakness, she would be unsporting.  Kaori decided to attempt to defeat her new opponent by speed and endurance.  After all, tightening the muscles of her body to withstand an opponent's strikes had to be wearing.  Kaori would show her opponent that.
    With a series of eight tactically placed punches with a few rapid front kicks, Erika was driven backwards.  Realizing that she was not up against a pushover or someone that was going to be intimidated, Erika started a new strategy of her own.  She faked a punch towards Kaori's face and simultaneously launched an uppercut.  It was a clever strategy, providing her opponent was in a corner, but Kaori was not and thus, leapt backwards, striking Erika with a crescent kick as she retreated.  Erika got mad and charged, punching at Kaori as fast as she could.  Kaori decided to finish the fight with a rushing kick, striking Erika four times before the boxer was sent flying backwards to hit the mat.  The scoreboard illuminated the number 4 as Erika's electronic image darkened.
    "It's a good thing this fight was only at Level four," Kaori told her unconscious opponent.
    Taking out a mask, the victorious veteran walked over to Erika and placed the mask on the fallen fighter.  Taking a few steps back, Kaori smiled.
    [The Jigglypuff mask looks cute on her.]
    Kaori giggled.

    Elena Goldsmith wasn't the average business owner.  With short blonde hair, blue eyes and a figure that was the envy of any girl who's bust wasn't DD-cup, she also surprised people by being fairly intelligent and a VG warrior to boot.  She was wearing her business uniform, which was basically a red leotard (that had a bunny tail on the rump) with black leggings.  She was also wearing a set of bunny ears on her head, thus completing the effect.  All of her employees wore the same outfits, but mostly out of respect than necessity.
    Elena had been a VG warrior for the last few years.  She had been a business owner for slightly longer.  The Rival, her business, was always doing well, but especially on days when she had been challenged to a match.  Customers knew that they wouldn't get a chance to eat until later in the day, if at all, in cases when Elena left for all day, so they'd crowd in early in the day to show support.  The reason the customers hurried was because The Rival closed before the match and the other bunnies would carry Elena to the ring, when it was in town, of course.  Like many things, Elena hadn't forced the girls to show such support, the girls (or bunnies as they preferred to be called) just felt like showing their support and appreciation, not to mention, if Elena was seeing what she thought she saw on many occasions, their affection and adoration.
    All people had reasons to fight in VG.  Elena's reason was rather simple.  She wanted to bring her grandmother, who was in America, to Japan.  Despite The Rival's great success, she wasn't earning enough money to do such a thing, and as a business woman, she didn't want to just take money from the money from The Rival's slush fund as there might be an unexpected emergency and it just wouldn't do to be unprepared.  She also didn't want to raise the prices too much or customers would complain.
    Elena was currently working the cash register.  She often worked the register because male customers were more willing to part with their cash when someone as sexy as her was taking their money.  No sooner had she handed the latest customer his change, leaning forward a bit to bring a blush to his face, she heard a scream to her left.  A pervert was just letting go of a bunny's rearend.  She motioned another bunny to the register and marched over to the commotion.  The pervert tried to act casual as the assaulted bunny retreated a bit.
    "Excuse me, sir, but we don't appreci-" Elena began.
    Obviously, the pervert either didn't know Elena's reputation or he was just plain stupid, because he grabbed her chest and smiled while commenting, "Nice and firm,"  All noise save the pervert's chuckle stopped instantly.  In a cacophany of squeaking chairs, everyone, including the pervert's 'friends', got up and moved away to avoid getting blood on their outfits.
    It took a full ten seconds for the screams to stop.  A few minutes after the screams stopped, what remained of the pervert was being wheeled out on a stretcher.  The experienced ambulance driver seemed to accept Elena's explanation of "he slipped" as they had heard it too many times to care anymore.  Besides, they liked eating at The Rival and asking questions would likely get them banned or worse.
    "Geez," a rookie said as he looked at the pervert's body, "I've never seen anyone break their jaw and hands, knock out fifteen teeth and then shove the top half of their head through their pants and into their rectum just by slipping..,"
    The glares from the rest of the ambulance crew registered in the rookie's mind.
    "...before," the rookie added nervously.
    "Yes, quite a feat that," Elena told the rookie.
    "Here you go, gentlemen.  For your good work," a bunny said, handing each member of the ambulance crew a coupon for two thousand yen off their next meal at The Rival.
    "Cool!  I'm definitely coming here when I'm off duty!" the rookie declared, smiling at the coupon.  It wasn't often you got something for just doing your job.
    The ambulance crew closed the doors to the back of the ambulance and drove to the nearest hospital.
    "This wasn't an accident, was it?" the rookie inquired, his face returning to normal.
    "Don't worry about it, kid.  Normally these jackasses deserve it.  If you look into the history of all these 'victims' of 'slipping' at The Rival, you'll find them to be perverts.  'course, this is worse than normal.  But, they get fair warning," the driver said.
    "Huh.  How'd he get like this?" the rookie inquired.
    "Just as the manager said, 'he slipped'," the driver told him.
    "Seriously," the rookie requested.
    The driver looked around, causing the rookie to grow nervous.
    "You know that manager?  She's a VG warrior.  The idiot in back probably fondled one of her waitresses," the driver whispered before switching back to a normal tone of voice, "We tell HQ exactly what she tells us.  He slipped,"
    The rookie looked back at the pervert, who was managing a weak whimper as he began to regain consciousness.  The rookie gulped.  A woman who could do that was not one that you wanted to disagree with.
    "Right, he slipped," the rookie agreed.
    "Knew you'd see it my way," the driver grunted.

    The SOTO was actually busy when Jun, Manami and Yuka arrived.  It had also been repaired and quite well for such a speedy job.  When people came to the SOTO, they brought lot of their friends, so they could introduce them to friends of friends and eventually get their friends hitched up with the friends of other friends.  This was a complicated process which usually meant that groups of five to thirty could stroll in.  Jun found herself to be extremely lucky when Manami decided to go look for a table for them to sit at, which would take the young VG warrior quite a while, and the music conveniently switched to a slow song.  Deciding to take her chances, she turned to Yuka.
    "Hey, let's dance," Jun suggested.
    "I'm not a very good dancer..," Yuka began.
    Jun took her hand, "Don't worry, I'll lead,"
    Yuka Takeuchi was one proclaimed as a master among martial artists, but that said nothing about her ability to dance.  In fact, _Yuka_ didn't even know how well she could dance.  She had never bothered to try before.  Jun tugged her onto the dance floor and brought Yuka into a very strong embrace. Last time she and Jun had been this close, Yuka recalled Jun getting just as close to Yuka as she was at the moment only once before, and that was before Jun performed a flying backbreaker.  Yuka's face became flushed as Jun somehow managed to draw even closer, pressing their bodies together.  Yuka could swear she saw Jun's eyes undressing her.
    Luckily, Jun hadn't been paying much attention to the length of the song and soon, Yuka managed to break free and convince Jun to go to the table Manami had just found.  Jun sighed with despair as she trudged behind Yuka to their table.
    [So close and yet, so far away.  Oh well, this memory'll last me for tonight.] Jun said, before the cruel and realistic portion of her mind began telling herself that she'd be going through plenty of batteries.  She promptly smashed said portion of her mind with the mental image of Fort Knox, which would render that portion of her brain silent for quite some time.
    The evening dragged on as Manami and Jun both tried to tempt Yuka out onto the dance floor.  Manami managed to score a dance with Yuka by catching the fellow VG warrior just as she was returning from the bathroom.  But for the rest of the night, neither of the two idol-stricken VG warriors were able to convince Yuka of otherwise.  Finally, Manami suggested that they head home as it was getting late.
    Manami hurried ahead, not wanting to get caught in the rush when the DJ announced, "All right, all you love-birds, this is the LAST song of the night before we close up, so I'm choosing a good one.  It's from the American soundtrack for Flashdance, made in the 1980s in the U.S., but the movie is going to be rereleased tomorrow in theaters.  I'm Grand Master B, good night,"
    The instant the DJ turned his back, someone muttered, "Dork,"
    The song "Lady, Lady, Lady" began playing.  The soft melody caught Jun as the perfect dance song to get close to Yuka.  Snagging Yuka again, she literally carried the other VG warrior to the dance floor and set her down.  Yuka sweatdropped, but decided one more dance wouldn't kill anyone.  Hopefully.
    Outside, Manami realized that there wasn't much a crowd leaving and that the song echoing inside the SOTO was soft and perfect for getting close to Yuka.  She huffed, remembering that she'd pound Jun for taking a perfectly good oppurtunity from her.
    The soft melody played on and on, for seemingly forever.  Unfortunately, Jun was taller than Yuka, so Yuka's attempts to touch the floor were in vain, so she just decided to wait until the song was over.  Incidentally, her head just happened to be pressed against Jun's shoulder.  For Jun, it was paradise to have Yuka resting her head on Jun's shoulder.  For Yuka, it was awkward not being able to touch to floor.  She continued trying to dangle her feet so that they touched the floor to give her some sense of how much taller Jun was, but no dice.

    Yuki flopped into her couch.  Some days seemed a lot longer than others.  Then, there were horrible days like this, where handling a single customer could take four hours, maybe longer.  Sighing, she wished for a new job, but grimaced as she recalled that someone had basically blacklisted her from a lot of potential employers.  She still didn't know who that someone was, but if she ever did, she'd make 'em pay.
    "Long day?" came a now familiar voice to Yuki's ears.
    Before she could respond, Ayako climbed onto the couch and laid on top of her slightly shorter and quite exhuasted VG warrior.
    "Uuuuhhh..," Yuki moaned as her response.
    "Can I... help you feel better?" Ayako inquired.
    "Sure... once you've finished feeding the fish, dust in here and order dinner," Yuki responded.
    Ayako sighed.  She had been hoping that Yuki would've missed those jobs.  She snuggled against Yuki for a minute before hopping up and hurrying to finish her tasks.
    [I should've done this YEARS ago...] Yuki thought to herself.
    Yuki watched Ayako feed the fish and do some light dusting (she had done most of it the previous day).  Ayako then headed to the phone to call for delivery.  Since the purpled-haired girl was no longer in sight, Yuki decided to just close her eyes and relax.  Having someone do the work was fun, but she probably wouldn't be able to get other opponents to agree to the deal.  While having Ayako was fun, the main reason she had put in the sidebet was in hopes of finally getting her place to look nice.
    "I hope you don't mind, but it's leftovers tonight," Ayako declared as she put down the phone.  Two and a half hours was just not acceptable for pizza delivery.
    "We never did finish that third pizza you ordered, did we?" Yuki asked.
    "No.  Oh and I got some better soda than what you had.  Just like you requested," Ayako responded as she exited the kitchen.
    "Say, I'm not treating you poorly, am I?" Yuki asked, sitting up and turning so that her feet were on the floor instead of the couch.
    Ayako pondered the question before walking over and sitting in Yuki's lap.
    "You haven't been giving me what I've been craving..," Ayako pouted, her arms wrapping around Yuki, while twirling circles on Yuki's shirt.
    "Uuuhhhhhhhh....," Yuki began, her face growing flushed.
    Ayako leaned in and was about to kiss Yuki on the lips when the oven timer went off.
    "<This two paragraph curse has been deleted for specifics reasons.  Number 1, in order to do that, one would injure a goat and we told the Animal Right's people we wouldn't do that or even suggest to people that a goat could be used in that manner without injury.  Number 2, it's not physically possible to do that with a penguin.  They just don't bend that way.  Number 3, while metaphysically, there is a place 'where the sun don't shine', but Alaska was full when we last checked.

    Yuki stared wide-eyed at Ayako.
    "Frogs?!" Yuki asked, recalling one of the more blatant curses that she could identify.  A few had been in German, some in American, three in French, and one had been in Sumerian.  Not that Yuki knew how to identify anything other than the first two languages.  And even then, she didn't understand what Ayako had said in those languages, but she got the deep impression that she should slap Ayako for using one of the German ones so lightly.  (one of the words was 'Thunder', she didn't get the rest)
    "Sorry, I got carried away," Ayako replied, sweatdropping.
    "Jeez, I've heard fewer curses driving in rush-hour traffic!  And I've been in New York _and_ L.A.!" Yuki exclaimed.
    After dinner, Yuki didn't quite feel up to kissing Ayako.  After all, a mouth like that needed to be rinsed twenty times with Listerine before it was time to wash said mouth out with soap.  The frogs bit had Yuki still astounded, but the part about the frozen cucumber and that red snake's....er, 'hindquarters'... it was just too mind-boggling.
    Skipping straight to the shower scene, Yuki blinked as she found herself naked and in the shower.
    "Hey, what's going on?" she demanded.
    Breaking the fourth wall to tell her, the author responded, "Some lemon scenes drag on well past the point where it would be intimate.  Besides, I think everyone who would bother reading this would rather skip straight to the better parts of the lemon rather than read my half-assed attempts to trying to color-coordinate your undergarments with your normal clothes, hair and 'season',"
    Yuki shrugged.
    "So long as there are no cucumbers going up my butt, I'm fine with it,"
    "Hmmmm, scratch cucumber scene," the author mumbled to himself.  With that said, the author retreated to his side of the fourth wall.
    "Bloody pervert," Yuki murmured, glaring at where the author had appeared.
    As she began soaping up her body, steam rose in the shower, allowing the scene to lower to a PG rating as the soap bubbles seem to cling to the naughty areas.  Yuki rolled her eyes at the author's lame attempt to keep what was soon to be an X-rated scene at the PG rating.  Thankfully, rather than continue to ruin the scene with his dorky add-ons, he resorted to footnotes. (1)
    Ayako burst into the bathroom (2) and exclaimed, "Hey, have you seen the mouthwash?"
    Yuki turned and decided that next time the author wanted to do a blatant lemon scene, she was going to at least pull the shower curtain so that she was no longer with a clear view of the bathroom door. (3)
    "Mouthwash?  Why do you want that?" Yuki asked.
    "Yeah, it says right here in the-" Ayako began before realizing that smashing the fourth wall would be repetitive and the author didn't like doing that too often or the joke just got old.
    "Uh, well, I have a nasty after-taste in my mouth.  Someone was handing out free samples of Pepsi Two at the mall, and I accidentally tried some," Ayako replied.
    "I think I used the last of it up," Yuki responded.
    Ayako noticed Yuki's naked body.  Yuki concentrated on trying to figure out whether or not she had used the mouthwash all up.  Ayako, feeling that this was her cue, began undressing and advancing on Yuki like the killer in Psycho, only the shower curtain was already pulled, she didn't have a knife, and she was going to have sex with Yuki rather than kill her. (4)
    Yuki continued acting as if she didn't see or hear Ayako's approach.  Ayako was down to her panties when she slipped on a slick spot on the floor and landed heavily on her back.  Were this a fight, Yuki would've pounced on Ayako and finished it with a few good punches.  As it was, Yuki turned to stare at Ayako.
    "You okay?" Yuki asked, helping Ayako up.
    "Yeah," Ayako responded.
    "Let me guess, you wanted to take me in the shower?" Yuki asked.
    "Yeah, but now the mood's ruined," Ayako said.
    "Eh.  Besides, it wastes too much water," Yuki joined in. (5)




    [[[[LEMON]]]]




    Without warning or much of an original scene change, Yuki and Ayako were in Yuki's bedroom.  Both girls looked around, startled at the sudden scene shift.
    "I thought we-oh, nevermind," Ayako said, deciding to ignore the plot devices.
    "Why _my_ room?" Yuki wondered before Ayako's arms wrapped around her waist from behind.
    "Who cares?  I've been waiting for this," Ayako said, before kissing Yuki's neck.
    As Ayako pulled herself against Yuki's body, both girls began enjoying the sensual touch of each other's bodies.  Ayako nibbled at Yuki's earlobe while caressing Yuki's breasts with her hands.
    Yuki broke away briefly before pulling Ayako to the bed.  Ayako found herself descending on Yuki's welcoming body.  Quickly realizing that while sexually exciting, the current position would cause strain on the end of the bed, Yuki began backing up.  The purple-haired waitress followed Yuki onto the bed as the brown-haired one clambered backwards.  Ayako lunged, kissing Yuki and forced the girl onto her back.
    Ayako stroked Yuki's skin, bringing a flush all over her body.  The brown-haired girl stroked Ayako's face before watching in curiosity as she watched Ayako descend between her legs, spreading said legs as far apart as possible.  As Ayako's face pressed into her moist womanhood, Yuki cried out and began writhing under her partner's skilled tongue.  Yuki's hands slid up to her breasts and she began massaging her flesh mounds as Ayako pressed her tongue deeper into Yuki's sensitive sex.
    Finally, after a minute of incredible sensations, Ayako pulled herself away from Yuki's slick womanhood.  She pinned Yuki's arms to the bed and descended on Yuki's breasts, licking and nuzzling them as Yuki whimpered.
    Ayako trapped Yuki's right nipple with her teeth, causing her lover to wince in pain, before the purple-haired sex-bomb flicked the end of the hardened nipple with her tongue.  Yuki struggled as the pain from her love nub was more than she liked.  Ayako released the nub briefly before engulfing it and slurping the nipple as forcefully as she could.  Yuki cried out in pleasure again, pushing her chest up as much as she could.
    Ayako suckled on the nipple, tasting the sweet milk that Yuki's nub was producing as she felt Yuki writhe and wiggle beneath her.  Finally, she released the nub, causing Yuki to lower back against the bed and pant to catch her breath again.  Ayako waited a few seconds before attacking Yuki's left nipple, causing another cry of delight to escape the brown-haired girl's mouth.  Ayako slurped and suckled until she felt herself growing wet in desire.
    Ayako released Yuki's left bud and wrapped her hands around Yuki's head, pulling the submissive girl's face to her own chest.  Yuki found Ayako's right nipple in her mouth.  She began licking and slurping it, causing Ayako's body to flush even moreso.  Allowing Yuki to give her back all that she had given Yuki, Ayako tilted forward, pressing Yuki against the bed again.
    Pulling away suddenly, causing Yuki to try and follow her breasts ascent, Ayako held her partner in place briefly before climbing up and mounting Yuki's face.  Ayako cried out as Yuki's tongue slid inside of her and the brown-haired girl wrapped her arms around Ayako's thighs, pulling her down even more.  Ayako whimpered and moaned as she gyrated on Yuki's face.  Yuki didn't seem skilled at first, but she quickly picked up on how to please her purple-haired lover.
    Ayako bounced up and down, letting her enjoyment of Yuki's talents become quite audible.  Ayako finally spun around and lowered her face between Yuki's legs, lavishing attention on Yuki's womanhood with her tongue and fingers while Yuki clutched her ass and pulled Ayako down more.  The duo licked and nuzzled the other into an intense orgasm.  Yuki drank Ayako's fluids as Ayako lapped up Yuki's.  Both slowed until they were just enjoying the afterglow.

    [[[[BATTLE]]]]




    "No, no thanks, guys.  I'm fine," Yuka said, waving goodbye to the reluctant pair of Jun and Manami.
    Sighing in relief that she had _finally_ gotten free of those two, Yuka headed up for bed. After all, she had a feeling that she would need a lot of rest.

===============================================================================================

    Will the author try breaking the already beer-battered and deep-fried fourth wall again?!
    More from the M&M/chiclet girl!
    Yuki Asamiya versus Chiho Masuda!
    Jun versus Manami!
    And who is Yuka's first opponent?!
    All this and more in the next chapter!


    Next, Chapter 3: Conflict Among The Goddesses

    Footnotes:

    (1) Furthermore, the author is sick and tired of all the shower scenes where the person in the shower began wanking off or fingering themselves for no sufficient reason or than to create a flimsy plot-contrivance.  In fact, Lemon Law #33822 states that "Everyone gets off in the shower".  It's utterly pathetic, or so I think.

    (2) See Kramer's entrance to Seinfeld's apartment in the show, Seinfeld.  If you don't like Seinfeld, imagine someone managing to burst into a room while sliding a bit to get well inside the doorway.

    (3) "Hey, do I get paid extra for leaving the curtain open?  Not only is it improbable that I'd forget to pull it, but it's going to get my nice vinyl floor all wet and slippery," Yuki asked.
    "No, you forgot that part of the script, so nyah, nyah," the author responded, trashing the fourth wall and starting on the fifth.
    "THERE IS NO FIFTH WALL!" Ayako and Yuki yelled.
    "Oh, really?  Damn," the author grumbled.
    His antics failing to amuse the reader in the least, the author continued the scene.

    (4) "We knoooow," Ayako growled.

    (5) And in Japan, water is one of the carefully used resources.  Just like electricity and gas.  So, wasting water would cost a lot of money.  And money is something that Yuki doesn't have much of.

    (6) The author wants it made known that this lemon scene could have been riddled with jokes, humorous bits and such.  But, he made it pure of such things for the benefit of the hentais who just wanna whack off to something. Bloody perverts.

    Explanations and Bios: (Again, this is for people who have never seen Variable Geo)

    Rei from the last chapter is none other than: Rei Hino, aka. Sailor Mars, from the series Sailor Moon.  Rei wasn't actually a kick-boxer, but I had to throw you people off the trail.

    Erika was a name I just made up for another newbie.  The inspiration was either listening to some sound byte from All My Children or General Hospital.  I could never pay attention.  BTW, Erika is a boxer while Kaori is kickboxer.  Just in case you missed that.

    Elena "Elirin" (or Elly-Lynn in the subs) Goldsmith is from the United State, but she's part Japanese.  She can act like a total ditz at times, but she's far from stupid.  She also has a checkered past.  Being a 'gaijin' from her childhood to her teenage years, many girls talked behind her back, hurting Elena emotionally.  Over the years, she began beating up gangs and showing the strength of the rage within her.  Combining it with a unique fighting style and a high-spirited good natured attitude, she became one of the elite quite easily.  She could block even one of Yuka Takeuchi's ki attacks with ease and had a special technique developed from her worst experiences as a child.  This just goes to show that no matter what the country, there will always be blatant ignorance and outright cruelty popping up.
    Elena's developed hatred and anger turned into outright rage, making her extremely powerful, but by basing her entire fighting style on her rage, Elena left herself open to Yuka's special ability to read minds.  Combining Elena's rage with her own energy, Yuka defeated Elena, freeing the poor girl from her own emotional cage.  After that, Elena vowed to herself that she would find peace and became friends with Yuka.
    However, it turned out that she had been tricked by Manami, who had set the entire thing up to avoid fighting Elena.  Manami is tough in her own regards, but Elena could've outclassed her easily.  Despite the trick, Elena and her bunnies showed that they could have fun, even being butt-naked.  No, a porno scene didn't occur (CURSE THOSE BASTARDS!), but all of the bunnies shed their outfits in full support of Elena, which goes to show their devotion to Elena.

    The movie Cafe Ala Dante is purely fictional as of yet.  The people involved are Silent Bob, Jay and Dante, all of whom appear in the movie "Clerks" which just goes to show you that if you have a slacker friend like Dante did, you shouldn't listen to them at all or let them temp-work at your business.  The movie was considered underrated by school mates of mine, but I thought the movie pretty much sucked.  It was like the Blair Witch Project, only less screaming, fewer laughs from the audience and there weren't many times when the camera lost focus.

    I've watched the movie Flashdance, but I didn't understand it at the time.  I purchased the soundtrack because it has quite a few good eighties songs.  Plus, if you listen closely, you can hear a music track that was used in Final Fantasy 2!  (Or something that sounds almost identical)

    Useless Factoid: Manami is 15, Jun and Yuka are only 17, Elena is 20 and Ayako is 19 when the video and games occur.  However, since a year has passed, that makes Manami 16, Jun and Yuka 18, Elena 21 and Ayako 20.  P.S. Anyone know how old Kaori Yanase, Reimi Jyahana, Satomi Yajima or Chiho Masuda are?  It's not important, but I'd like to know.
