Night on the Town (Fish)

[SongofWindchimes]

Bianca opened her mouth to speak when Jade brushed her leg against hers, and another faint quiver ran through her as she forgot what she was going to say. Jade's sly look was both frustrating and incredibly sexy. Bianca was on the defensive here and she knew it, but she refused to crack until she had drawn this out a little longer; she wanted to see just how much of Bianca's charm Jade could take.

And now Jade was fumbling with those glasses again, and Bianca watched this, running a tongue over her suddenly-dry lips. Maybe giving in wasn't such a bad idea? She could just get off this stool and walk away with enough of a swagger in her step, shoot a flirty look over her shoulder, and she was sure Jade would follow her.

No, no, she could make this work to her advantage, Bianca reasoned. Overconfidence was deadly, and a woman on the defensive was rarely expected to mount an offense. She looked right at Jade, lowering her eyelids to give her most seductive stare. "Oh really?" She leaned in, letting one of her hands brush against Jade's knee, the fingers barely touching skin in one of those teasing touches that nearly always gave her dates goosebumps. Her voice became a purr. "I like to talk, too. In fact, I'm a bit annoyed if someone doesn't want to talk a little...Not that I complain, exactly, if someone I like is all over me..."

[KARP KARP!]

Jade shuddered, this time finding herself to be the one speechless. She had to say, she liked this. Besides it was probably giving the males in the bar one heck of a show.

When she finally came to her senses, she brushed her hair out of her face and slid the glasses completely off. Sort of letting her hand toy with the glasses, she smirked. "Never said I'd complain. Especially if they're sober; anyone can get a drunk to fall for them. Leaning in again, she all but whispered. "Sober's more of a challenge, and more fun."

[SongofWindchimes]

Bianca's momentary feeling of triumph at seeing the effect she'd had on Jade faded when she slipped her glasses off. Her eyes darted between the hand with the glasses and Jade's face a couple of times. What is she...?

Then Jade was leaning in close again, and the whispered words sent a shiver shooting up Bianca's spine. Jade would have had to be blind to not see the look of want reflected in her green eyes.

That was it. Bianca didn't give Jade a chance to pull away, darting forward without warning (unless one considered the lustful stare warning) to close the distance between their lips. The kiss was quick, as even in 'losing' their game Bianca wanted to be a tease, and she whispered as she pulled back, "Glad we're in agreement."

Okay, so she'd been the first to crack. Hardly a surprise, and she really didn't care right now. Whatever smug reaction to the kiss Jade gave, it'd just give Bianca more chills at this point. She also didn't care that she thought she heard a wolf whistle or two from the other patrons. Let the men watch.

[KARP KARP!]

Jade could see perfectly, despite what glasses normally meant. So, the woman saw every little detail of Bianca's eyes. Meaning, Jade could tell the woman was ready to give in.

However, that didn't make it any less surprising when she did. A slight gasp escaped her when their lips met. Unfortunately, the kiss was quick. She was unable to keep from giggling at the whistles, but they didn't bother her. A triumphant grin was on her lips when she pulled back.

Twirling her glasses between her fingers, she leaned in again. "Good. And by the way..." she purred before closing the gap herself in a kiss that lasted a little bit longer. "These are just for show." Jade winked, a flirty grin on her face.

[SongofWindchimes]

Bianca had no doubts that giving in to her impulse was a good idea by the second kiss. These were just fanning the flames, really, though. Maybe if she got Jade alone, she'd show her the kind of kissing she was capable of.

The statement about the glasses earned a momentary look of surprise. In hindsight, though, it was rather obvious. Bianca rolled eyes a little. "I...probably should have figured that out around the time you pushed them down like that." But, of course, I was too busy drooling.

Bianca leaned in for another quick kiss, this one with a faint brush of tongue. Her hand found its way to Jade's knee again at the same time, tracing a pattern with her fingers that started to find itself heading up her thigh before she withdrew it. "I might have to get a pair of those."

[KARP KARP!]

Returning the kiss, Jade smiled lightly. Oh, they were definitely going to have to get out of here before long. The hand on her leg didn't make it much better, another shudder passing through her.

"Maybe. Then again, maybe I just have a thing for telling what people like." Putting the glasses back on, she winked again. "Had 'em special made. But maybe I can hook you up, Hun."

She looked around the bar. "How 'bout we get outta here? Hit the town, or....something."

[SongofWindchimes]

Bianca chuckled faintly at the suggestion of hooking her up with some special glasses. She'd probably give half of the people she knew whiplash from the double-takes. "May just have to take you up on that..."

The suggestion to leave earned a smirk. "You just read my mind, sweet thing." Bianca smoothly slid from the barstool and paused for a moment to adjust her skirt and shoot a flirty look over her shoulder at Jade before she was strolling toward the door, a sway in her hips. Any staring just made her smile. That's right, boys, the free show's over, and the two best-looking women in the bar are leaving with each other. Live with it.

If Jade was actually interested in hitting the town, Bianca could probably come up with a place or two, but 'something' worked just fine for her. She'd see when they were out the door, she supposed.

[KARP KARP!]

"We'll see. I don't hook up just anybody."

Jade followed the woman's lead, of course checking her out. She strutted out the door, waving teasingly at the men. Once outside, she let her hand hold onto Bianca's gently.

"So, where ya thinkin', Hun?" Her deep blue eyes sparkled micshievously, followed by a wink.

[SongofWindchimes]

I'm not just anybody and you know it. Bianca had been spending their entire 'chat' making that fact very clear.

Jade taking her hand was not something Bianca entirely expected, and it earned a smile. 'Sweet thing' was starting to seem like an appropriate thing to call Jade, after all. Not every person had holding her hand high on their list of priorities upon leaving a bar; she liked it.

And now the question. Bianca chuckled at the look Jade was giving her, and moved a little closer. "I had a few ideas...Depending on what you're interested in doing." Part of her hoped she wouldn't have to spell it out for Jade what she meant to get a proper answer, and the other part really wanted to spell it out.

[KARP KARP!]

Jade smirked, licking her lips slightly. Sure, Jade knew exactly what Bianca meant, but...she'd thought of another way to have a little more fun.

"Ideas, huh? Do tell..." She smiled, giving Bianca a cross between a begging look and a seductive stare. Her hand gently gripped the other woman's.

[SongofWindchimes]

Oh, no no no, you're not doing this to me again, was the first thing Bianca thought at Jade's reply. This was going to go around in verbal circles if she let it.

Bianca 'hmm'd a little, humouring Jade a moment. "Well, I don't know which of the nightclubs you've been to, but I know a few that are fun. I think the Shiny Rapidash is still doing its 'women get in free' special, and the Combee Hive is pretty close and I know some of the people there." Now that she was actually saying them aloud, they didn't seem so bad. The idea of dancing to the Shiny Rapidash's pounding beat or the Combee Hive's techno, swaying to the music right next to Jade...

Bianca pushed that image aside, and stepped closer, until she was standing right in front of Jade, smirking "Or, sweet thing..." she said, reaching with the hand that Jade wasn't holding to gently glide it down the woman's neck and shoulder. "...We could find someplace to do something like this." She kissed her hungrily, not giving a care that they were technically still in public.

[KARP KARP!]

Jade hid another smirk as Bianca started naming off night-clubs. So, the other woman had grown wise to the bartender's games. No matter, the blond still knew how to have fun.

Then, Bianca named off a third option; Jade couldn't help but smile, shivering a little at the touch. Then...the kiss. She returned it just as hungrily, eyes closing for a few moments.

Pulling back, she licked her lips, grinning. "Mmmm....I like C, personally..."

[SongofWindchimes]

Bianca licked her lips as well. "I had a feeling you would."

That, of course, still left the question of where. Bianca's first thought was her own home. She lived above her store, so no worries about complaints from neighbours, and the place was fairly comfortable given the current economy. However, she also had three pokemon, two of which would love to ruin her good time either out of sadistic amusement or spite, who she let roam the place at night, along with about five cats, one of which had the uncanny ability to get into her bedroom at the worst possible time no matter how she tried to keep him out.

Bianca found her cluster of non-human beasts charming, but Jade might not, and she didn't want to become a cat lady in the mind of the woman she was oh-so-close to getting alone.

So, she did what came naturally, and moved to plant a kiss on Jade's jaw, purring softly, "Got somewhere in mind for C? My place isn't very close." A little blunter than the tone of lot of their conversation, but that was part of why she was distracting Jade with kisses. It wasn't a lie, either, since she did live all the way in the commercial district, and that was the other reason she didn't want to take Jade there.

[KARP KARP!]

A rather mischievous smirk came across Jade's face at the question. Even if her train of thought was mildly interrupted by the kisses.

"Mine's not very far. Though I hope you don't mind a handful of Pokemon have free reign. Though the only one that'd pose a problem, I keep in a fish tank when at home." She sort of frowned at the thought of Mr. Fishy. The Shiny Magikarp was the only one she really left home when she went to work. Her other Pokemon had a tendency to stay in their Pokeballs unless called.

Planting a gently kiss on Bianca's lips, Jade turned, leading the woman down the street.

[SongofWindchimes]

Bianca laughed a little. "Not a problem." That eased a little of her worries, but she still knew Lucy would hate Jade on sight and Azure would see her as a new toy to play mindgames with. Faux Zoro would try to keep them in line, but the Zoroark couldn't be everywhere. Even if he wrangled her Zangoose without getting clawed, Azure was a clever little Ditto. Overall, Jade's place was the better idea, even before factoring in her cats.

Bianca smiled to herself as Jade led her down the street, occasionally allowing herself take appreciative glances at the blonde's body. If she outright stared, she knew she was going to end up interrupting the walk every few minutes to kiss Jade. While she was sure Jade wouldn't mind that, Bianca didn't want to draw the walk out too long, for the sake of her own sanity.

She wondered, for a moment, what kind of pokemon Jade had. A chill, the bad kind, rushed through at the idea that Jade may have a psychic loose in her house, and Bianca hugged herself a little with her free arm to pass it off as being cold, which wouldn't be terribly hard to believe with what she was wearing. Too late to ask without it seeming strange, so she'd just have to wait and see.

[KARP KARP!]

After about fifteen minutes of walking, they reached a rather plain looking apartment complex. Jade walked to hers and unlocked the door.

The apartment was a midsized, but nice two room apartment. On the wall, between the kitchen and the living room, was a fish tank holding a gold Magikarp. Seeing Bianca, he angrily glared at her, attacking the glass.

Jade chuckled. "That's the one I told you about. Mr. Fishy. Thinks he's a real tough guy." About that time, her other Pokemon let themselves out of their Pokeballs and went to the second bedroom--where they ate. Sunny, the shiny Politoed, happily danced off to go eat. Venus, the Bulbasaur, sort of stared at Bianca with a soft smile for several minutes before making her way in there. Lacy...well, the Granbull was the last one out but the first one to the food. Finally, Zander came out. The young Charmander jumped into Jade's arms, clinging to her.

"This little guy is Zander."
"Char!" he said happily, before Jade put him down and he went to join the others.

"Well, that's everyone. Now...." She flashed a flirty grin. "Where were we?"

[SongofWindchimes]

Bianca looked at Mr. Fishy, vaguely disturbed by the way he kept lunging at the glass. Sure, it was funny now, but she did not want to be anywhere near him when he was over twenty feet of red-scaled fury. Even if Jade was laughing, Bianca held up her hands in an appeasing gesture at the golden carp. She wanted to be somewhere near the bottom of his 'things to maul' list just in case.

Jade's other pokemon each got a different response. The shiny Politoed earned a smile, as did the Bulbasaur as she held the stare. The Granbull she watched dart off with a slightly forlorn look, but she was quickly distracted by the most adorable Charmander she'd ever seen. "Aww. Nice to meetcha, Zander."

Then the pokemon were gone and Bianca was alone. With Jade. In a bedroom. And unless Mr. Fishy managed to break out of his tank and flop into the room, there wouldn't be any interruptions.

Bianca smirked at Jade, reaching back to unfasten her masterball necklace. "Hmm...where were we?" she teased, taking out her earrings (she was not about to lose them if she could help it) and slipping off her bracelets. She left the jewelry on the nearest flat surface, may that be a table or dresser, and sauntered over to Jade's bed.

She sat down and stretched, fixing Jade with a seductive stare. "Maybe you could...remind me..." she purred.

[KARP KARP!]

Jade smirked, closing the bedroom door behind them. So it was just her and Bianca, finally. She walked over to the bed, taking off her glasses and setting them on the night table.

Letting her hair down, she sort of shook her head to let it all fall out. Yeah, it was a form of teasing. Finally, she strutted over, leaning in. Her lips barely brushed Bianca's. "I remember."

Then, she closed the gap, kissing the girl hungrily.

---

A little later, Jade was cruising the streets again, only this time wearing a tight black leather jacket over a bright red tank top with her black miniskirt and heels. Glancing over at Bianca, she passed the girl a smirk.

"Believe it or not, I don't go to many clubs. Lead the way, Hun?"

[SongofWindchimes]

Bianca was going to crash sometime in the early morning and probably sleep until noon, and she knew it. It wouldn't be the first time her store's schedule was modified due to the nightlife of its owner.

Some of her more straight-laced customers would be upset, but that didn't matter, because it was totally worth it. Not that she was going to outright tell Jade that, but she felt it was pretty clearly understood anyway.

Bianca was fussing with her hair ribbon a little when Jade spoke (she'd nothing short of pitched it across the room in her haste earlier, causing a bit of a scramble to find it after the fact; it figured she'd think to take off her jewelery but not consider her hair until Jade started her 'reminding'), and she flashed a smile as she let it go. "Really? Sure. Shiny Rapidash's probably closest."

She glanced about a little to properly get her bearings and confirm that, yes, this was close to the nightclub she'd said. With a small 'come on' gesture, she started down the street, deciding that her hair ribbon was not going to suddenly stop working because she'd mistreated it, even if she'd put her hair back into a ponytail without a mirror, and to leave it alone. The bow possibly looking a little lopsided was almost appropriate, anyway.

It wasn't long before they were submerged in the sea of bright neon and Bianca was sailing her way through it like an accomplished captain. Everywhere, clubs had bigger and brighter signs to try to stand out, which only made everything all the more uniformly saturated with colour. Eventually, though, the Shiny Rapidash nightclub was visible with its massive neon sign showing a rearing blue-flamed Rapidash (of course, Bianca knew from experience that only shiny Ponyta had blue flames, but blue looked better and she wasn't sure grey neon was possible).

Outside of the door were a pair of bouncers, and Bianca suddenly grinned and started waving as she picked up her pace to get to the door. "Jesse. Hey Jesse!"

One bouncer, a bald man who had to be nearly seven feet tall and built like a Machoke, looked up and grinned widely when he saw the violet-haired woman. "Hey!" he boomed cheerily, laughing when she got to him. "I was wondering when I'd see you out here, bumble bee."

Bianca stuck her tongue out at him. "I told you to stop calling me that." The large man just laughed again. Bianca glanced at Jade and smiled. "Jade, this is Jesse, the best man to ever have between you and a guy who won't take no for an answer."

Jesse grinned another wide grin and waved a meaty hand at Jade. "Aw, s'easy. I just pretend every girl in trouble's my baby sister. Though, I was think I'm more saving the guys from you, bumble bee."

The woman rolled her eyes. "For the last time, I didn't kick him that hard. He was just drunk and fell over on his own." She chuckled and shook her head. "So, they still letting us gals in free?"

Jesse nodded. "Yeah, there's a ton of women in there. Comin' in with dates and in groups, mostly." He gestured at the door. "You ladies head right on in."

Bianca smirked as she sauntered in. The beat could be heard outside the door, but it was a different feeling entirely being inside. The music pounded, lights flashing in time to the beat and occasionally alternating from bright red to cool blue. The dancefloor was packed with girls either dancing in clusters of three to six or convincing the men they come with to dance with them. A bar sat at one wall, where women in blue outfits poured drinks for the few people who were too tired or felt too awkward to dance, and tough-looking guys, the indoor bouncers, stood just outside of chaotic jumble of people.

Bianca closed her eyes, letting the music envelope her for a moment. She loved clubs because she loved to dance, and this beat got her blood flowing like nothing else. She opened her eyes again and flashed Jade a grin as she headed out onto the dancefloor. She didn't recognize anyone in the girl-groups she could see, but it hardly mattered. Before she knew it, her eyes were shut again as she lifted up her arms above her head and moved her body to the beat.

[KARP KARP!]

Jade followed Bianca through the sea of neon lights. One might have found it odd that a girl of her lifestyle didn't go to clubs much. But hey, she tended to stay around the bar to pick up her dates; in fact, Jade worked at a bar for the same reason fishermen own lakes--catch all you can for free.

Waving at the bouncer with a slight grin, Jade giggled at the exchange between the two. The woman could hear the music from outside, but once she walked in, the atmosphere practically took her over.

It was...different, but she loved it. Following her date to the dance floor, she let her body bounce and flow with the beat of the music; almost hypnotizing. When Bianca opened her eyes, she'd see that she wasn't the only one of the two that loved to dance. Soon, Jade's eyes closed as well, lost in the atmosphere of it all. And she loved every second of it.

Maybe when they got home--whoever's home that may be--Jade would give her a proper thank you for the good time.
