Lin dug into her bag of large fries and double-bacon cheese burger as she sat in the passenger seat of Yasmin's car. She hated that her hunger was making her act like a glutton, but it felt like her midsection was going to snap like a twig if she didn't eat. "Mmm... ORaons' fries taste soooo damn good," she moaned in slight orgasmic bliss, picking up another one of the large slice of potato to put it in her mouth.

Yasmin giggled as she glanced over to Lin. "Slow down Lin, your fries aren't going to run away from you. Oí, Eva have you tried any of the local food while you were 'in the shadows?'"

"Um, not really. I just made my own food to eat," Eva answered, sitting in the backseat with a bag of food sitting in her lap. She'd been cautious of the fast-food; The US has been notorious for as her mother had told her to be.

"Well we're going to change that, right Lin?" Yasmin asked.

Lin swallowed her mouthful of fries, rolling up the sack to save the rest of her food for later. "Hm? Oh, yeah, Eva. The food isn't bad for you or anything. Ever since the nineties and early two-thousands, America had fairly strict health codes when it comes to fast food and whatnot. Only in excess is it bad," Lin explained, surprise that Eva had been able to spy on Yasmin and still have the time to cook for herself.

"Yeah, that's why we don't get as often and plus Lin here is nice enough to cook, even though it mostly for her." Yasmin joked with a chuckle as Lin stuck her tongue out to her. "Aww Lin, you know I'm joking. By the way, Eva I need to thank your pops for at least teaching me how to cook. It's come in handy for when it was just me by myself."

"I'm surprised you didn't burn down the kitchen with all the times you decide to play a game while you were cooking," Eva spoke in disbelief.

"Hey, I had those online matches timed to a 'T.'"

"And what about the forty-five burned dishes?"

"...Those matches went into overtime," Yasmin pouted.

Lin laughed at Yasmin's expense, shaking her head as she reached out towards her drink sitting in the cupholder. "Video games get you in trouble a lot, y'know that?" she laughed again while Yasmin rolled her eyes. "Oh don't be like that. You're cooking is great, when you don't burn it."

"Yeah, yeah but, I wish your dad taught me some of his special homemade recipes. Especially the desserts that monkey bread and the cinnamon buns..."

"Yasmin, you're drooling," Eva smirked, she gave Lin a glance before doing a double take. "You too, Lin?"

"Drool? What drool?" Lin rhetorically asked as she tried wiped her mouth clean discreetly. "So, uh, Eva. What you gonna do now? I'm assuming that you'll still be stalking Yasmin from the 'shadows,'" she joked, looking up into the rear view mirror to see the tabby's expression.

"I don't know," Eva shrugged. "I could."

"But...?" Yasmin asked looking in the rear view mirror.

"But, moving in with you guys might be better idea," Eva said smiling from ear to ear.

Lin wordlessly pulled her straw out of her mouth, turning her body to look back at Eva with a calm, peaceful expression. "As much as that don't bother me. I do hope you know that private time with girlfriends means private. If you catch my meaning." She added a puff of dark-gray smoke after she finished, still smiling.

"Lin..." Yasmin said testily, "We just got you guys to come to some form of middle ground so let her at least come up with a good reason or two."

"Oh I am. Just letting her know that she doesn't need to see everything that goes on in the house is all," Lin said, taking a slow slip of her drink before asking, "So what's the reason anyways?"

"Well, one I can send the video to both your parents if you don't let me stay," Eva said with a small smile watching the as both Lin and Yasmin started to sweat. "And two if you let me move in I'll be a bit laxer on the 'stalking' to let you two have more personal time together and I'll be willing to pay rent for the extra bedroom because I know you don't use it," Eva said looking at Lin.

"So blackmailing us? Yeah, figures," Lin growled underneath her breath. 'Now I'm starting to see why Eva and Yasmin are 'frenemies.' Oh, that grin. I'm going to have to do something about that.'

"Um, you have good points there," Yasmin said nervously. "B-but, um I don't kno-"

"Did I mention while I'm there I'll be doing at least some of the cooking so you know what that means right, Yasmin?"

Yasmin's eyes popped open as she gasped. "Your dad's recipes?"

"Yes," Eva said grinning smugly "I'll make your fav if you let me move in."

"Once a week."

"Once a month."

"Bi-weekly."

"Every three weeks."

"It might as well be once a month at this point," Lin spoke, shaking her head. "Bi-weekly or broke."

"Shush Lin, I'm bargaining over here," Yasmin said, waving her hand dismissively.

"You, should be driving."

Eva chuckled. "How 'bout this. Bi-weekly and I'll follow ten percent less of the time then I had planned. Giving the two for you way more personal time," she offered.

The car was silent for a few moments as Yasmin mulled over the deal. "Bi-weekly, ten percent, and double serving favorites on birthdays/special occasions."

"If we can all go out and chill together as friends," Eva said with an honest smile.

Lin nodded her head, satisfied. "Now that's starting to sound better," she said, turning around with a smile on her face.

"You drive a hard bargain... Fine, you can move in Eva," Yasmin said with a sigh. "But, you better make some cinnamon buns later today," she added in a faux threatening tone

"I knew you'll see it my way and don't worry, I'll hold up my end of the deal," Eva said, a smug smile stretched across her muzzle. But she really was happier that she now had the chance to hang out with Yasmin like the old times. "Oh um, you're going to have another car in your driveway by the way."

"It better be good, 'cus I don't want no lemon in my driveway," Yasmin said, looking in the rearview mirror.

"You're not the only one who let freedom get to their head," Eva said with smile. "I'll have a feeling you'll like it."

Taking Eva's word, Yasmin turned her attention back to the light Sunday traffic, humming to the beat of the pop song playing on the radio. Not much else happened before she pulled into the driveway of her home. "Welp we're home," she said as they got out the car. "Oh, Lin did you called him yet?"

Lin shook her head as she continued to drink what was left of her drink. She knew that she needed to call that dragon, but she hadn't thought of what to say or ask. Last thing she wanted was a repeat of this morning. "No not yet. Still debating whether or not I should be direct with him or try something else. I feel like Min would have more use for him than I would," she answered after closing the car door and following Yasmin to the front door. "I'm leaning towards direct through."

"This dragon, is he the one that was with the group of kids at the mall?" Eva asked as Yasmin unlocked the front door let them in.

"Yeah, he is," Yasmin answered as she closed the door.

"His name is Jadquillain. He slipped me a jade necklace after I beat one of his friends in that arm wrestling match," Lin explained as she walked towards the couch, setting her food and books down on the table before she turned on the TV. "I'm hoping as a full-blood dragon, he'd know what's going on with me. If not, he'll be able to tell me what's up with that necklace."

"Yeah, it's nice necklace," Yasmin said, "But, when things got a bit frisky Lin wasn't let's say at 'the helm.'"

"Well... I wouldn't say that," Lin argued, blushing slightly in shame as she thought back to how she acted yesterday in the ice-cream shop. "I was in control of what I was saying and doing. I just didn't put a whole thought into what was coming out. It just felt... natural?"

"I just wish I could wear the necklace," Yasmin whined as she walked into the kitchen with her food.

"Well, it probably for the best for now," Eva said as she rests her bag on the coffee table before plopping down on the couch. "When you guys figure out how it affects dragons, more importantly Lin, then it be easier to decide which of you should be wearing it. If it not dangerous."

Lin laughed as she could tell the protective tone in Eva's voice, nodding her head in agreement. "I don't think did anything to Yasmin, Eva. Only when I was wearing it and when I looked into the eyes of it. But yeah, it would be better neither of us don't wear it till after I talk to Jadquillain," she said reaching into her bag to finish off her fires before going to her burger. "That reminds me. I still owe you that movie date tonight, one I would like with only her company."

"Hey, I've been watching over you two for a long time now and neither of you knew I was around. So technically you two were alone in each other company," Eva remarked smartly as she opened up her bag of food.

"Do you ever, y'know, sleep?" Yasmin questioned.

"But, I guess I have the rest of the day off. It is only one movie," she continued as if uninterrupted, relaxing back on the couch. "I could use the time to beat some of you girls best scores, Lin. Also, have to get my things."

The half-breed cocked an eyebrow towards Eva, scoffing a laugh. "Oh, a challenger has appeared now? Well that's just going to have to wait. We're on a no-game weekend, and I would like to keep it that way," she said sternly, taking a sip of her drink.

"Aww, that sucks," Eva sighed.

"Sorry, but I really think that this could be good for me and Yasmin," Lin said in a slightly apologetic tone of voice. "But it's only one weekend and it's almost over anyways. You'll have your chance soon enough."

Eva laughed and nodded her head in understanding. "That's fair. I'd say her parents would be proud to hear this," she teased, glancing towards Yasmin while she pouted.

Lin giggled and nudge Yasmin's shoulder as she went back to eating her food. She quickly finished off what was left of her fries and drink, leaving her with only a little pace of burger left as she stood up from the couch. "Mm, that hit the spot." I'm going to go grab some peppermint from the candy bag before calling Jadquillian. You girls want some too?"

"No thank you, Lin. I got some candy from the mall," Eva said as she started watching TV for a moment as she slowly ate her French fries. 'I can see why Lin likes these so much,' she thought to herself eating a few more fries. However, she started getting the feeling that Lin was staring at her. "What? You guys was in a mall. I can't do two things at once?"

"Alright then." Lin shrugged. If Eva a good enough guard to be Yasmin's personal guard, then she wasn't going to question the tabby's reasoning. "Yasmin?"

"It would come in handy after eat this food," Yasmin said thoughtfully as she unwrapped her chicken sandwich and put on a paper plate with her fries. "Yeah, you can get me a couple pieces," she said, her tail happily wagging behind her.

Lin nodded her head before she walked off towards the bedroom, leaving Yasmin and Eva alone to eat their meals as she finished off what was left of her own food. After she pushed the door open, Lin spotted the sack of candy sitting on the dresser on the other side of the room, along with the jade colored necklace. Huffing slightly, Lin walked over to the dresser, fishing through the bag of candy to grab a couple pieces of peppermint for Yasmin and herself, putting one in her mouth. As she turned to walk away, she could feel some... pull from the necklace. Sighing, she turned around and snatched it up off the dresser to take back with her.

"Yo Yasmin, catch," Lin called out towards Yasmin, getting her attention before tossing one of the peppermints towards her.

"Hm? Whoa!" Yasmin yelped out in surprise as she caught the candy. "Thanks, Lin. A bit more of a warning next time?"

Giggling, Lin walked around the couch, flicking her fiery tail before sitting down. "I did, you just have slow reflexes," she said, adding another giggle as she placed both of the peppermints and necklace down on the table. "And Eva, you're welcome for a mint if you want."

"Thank you. So this is the infamous jade necklace. Have to admit, it does looks nice," Eva said as she unwrapped her chicken wrap. 'Mmm, smells pretty good hope it tastes as good.' she thought to herself before she took a bite. Her eye popped only as she chewed her wrap, quickly swallowing before speaking, "This is good." Eva said, smiling and taking another swift bite.

"Whoa there, remember what we said," Lin giggled as she relaxed into the couch. Her eyes traveled down to the jade necklace, biting her lower lip before turning her attention towards something else. "And yeah. That's the necklace. I'm really thinking it's some... purist quality that's supposed to bring out a dragon's true feelings. Given how I acted yesterday while Yasmin was wearing it."

"That's kinda true Lin. But, we won't know the answer to that until you call him," Yasmin said taking a bite out her sandwich.

"Yeah, yeah, I am. Thanks mom," Lin quipped as she reached into her jacket to pull out her phone, quickly going through her texts to find the number Jax was supposed to send out to her. "Alright, let's get some answers," she muttered to herself, dialing the number and waiting for the drake to answer.

"Hello~" a feminine voice called from the other line.

It took Lin a moment to answer as she was surprised about the female's voice, but she soon shook it off. "Uh, yes. I'm calling for Jadquillian," she said, hoping that she was pronouncing the drake's name correctly and clearly enough for the female on the other side. "I have a question that I need to ask of him if he's available."

"One moment." A shuffle was heard, leading Lin to assume either the phone was set down or the one that answered left to find the drake.

Lin waited for the phone to be picked up again, rolling the peppermint in her mouth. Thankfully after a few moments, another shuffle was heard one the other side, followed by a deep male voice answering, "Yes, who is it?"

"Yes um, hi. This is Lin from the mall yesterday. The one that you gave the necklace to?" she added for clarity, standing up from the couch to pace around out of nervous habit.

"Ah yes, half-blood. How have you been enjoying it so far? I trust that it's been helping with that curse that's been placed on you," Jadquillian said, pressing the phone against his ear as he leaned against the wall. "I've been wondering if it would work or not."

"Wait, curse?"

"Yeah, you don't know about it? Well, 'curse' isn't the politically correct term. Hex properly be better, I suppose. But yes, I saw, er well sense would be a better word, something limiting your dragon's soul and I knew the necklace would fix that. You're welcome by the way," the drake added with a laugh.

Lin on the other hand was just standing in the middle of the living room with a dumbfounded expression on her face. She stood there blinking for a moment before she finally worked the thought to speak. "I - A hex? Like black magic and stuff? How the..." she paused before answering her own question. "Dad. Rah... I don't believe this!"

"Neither did I. But when I saw how quick you beat Jax in that match, I knew there had to be something special about you. So, any changes so far?"

You can say that," Lin said, looking back towards her tail and then Yasmin, frowning. "How long do you think it'll take to have my Dad's hex gone?" she asked, remembering that her father was a powerful mage.

Jadquillian didn't answered for a moment. "Dunno. If you're near it long enough it should work. By the way, I'm going to need that back when it does. Or don't, you could hand it back whenever."

"Okay, thank you Jadquillian," Lin said in a monotone voice, sitting back to the couch. The drake dismissively waved her off, saying words of goodbye before hanging up the phone. "Just fan-flipping-great. Forgot that Dad's stupidly smart, and magical. No doubt that he put that hex on Min when they saw that Min must've got Mom's heritage, then me when they saw it in me too. So wonderful."

"Oh yeah, you told me about that. So what does it have to do with the necklace?" Yasmin asked before eating a few fries of her plate.

Lin sighed as she leaned back in her seat on the couch, putting her phone back in her jacket. "Apparently, whatever effects it has is slowly removing the hex, as it's already removing itself over time. So basically, if I really wanted, I could end this whole... 'transformation' just by wearing the necklace."

"It's not bad idea," Yasmin said hesitantly. But then she remembered the ice cream shop. "But, I think we should take time with breaking the hex your father put on you. Don't want to mess something up inside of you and then have you growing wings or something. Wow, now that I said it out loud, that sounds pretty cool," Yasmin mumbled, looking at Lin while fantasizing what it would be if Lin had a set of wings. "Oh, what about Min?"

Shaking her head, Lin sighed as she rubbed her neck. "I don't know to be honest. I'll have to talk to Jadquillian again to see if I could let her borrow it. That's if she wants to rush the hex off. I dunno." Lin's eyes turned down to the ground, her mind struggling to figure out her parents reasoning for their actions. She could understand why her mother would be worried that she and Min would have too much troubles going through school with everything happening with their bodies, but there definitely could've been something better done.

"Hmm, hey Eva you think we could make a copy or two?" Yasmin asked, turning towards Eva. Yasmin smirked as she saw Eva smiling happily as enjoy her food.

Eva glanced as Yasmin who was smirking at her. "What?" she asked after swallowing her food.

'Someone really starting to get addicted to fast food.' Yasmin giggled, "I asked you if it possible to make a copy or two of the jade necklace?"

"I honestly don't know if it was a regular necklace it would be easy," Eva answered, looking down at the necklace. "But, with its magical properties might not make it easy or possible for that matter. We can at least try though but not today. You two lovebirds have a date to go on and I need to gather my things," Eva said before eating some more fries.

Lin blushed for a moment, but nodded her head in thanks to Eva. "Yeah, there's always the morning or whatever. Right now I just want to relax for a bit."

"I'll agree to that." Eva said as she finished of her food. "That tasted great. I can't wait to try another place."

"And now she's addicted," Yasmin said with a chuckle. "That next time going to have to wait Eva. I wouldn't want my tabby to get tubby on me."

Eva deadpanned at Yasmin, taking slight offence to her comment. She turned her nose up from Yasmin, huffing. "Well excuse me, but I take very good care of my body. Nothing wrong with boarding my taste buds is there, princess?" Her eyes slowly came back on Yasmin as she had a wicked grin on her face. "You should count yourself lucky that you burned all of the baby fat you had from eating my dad's threats."

Yasmin blushed as she recoiled from Eva's quip slightly. "H-hey! I was not fat!" Her blush doubled when she heard Lin giggling faintly, only magnifying her embarrassment.

"Tsk, could've fooled me. Especially with all the picture I have of you when you were a pup," Eva said under her breath. "Oh, by the way you had an M.E.R installed here, yeah?"

"Huh? Oh uh, yeah," Yasmin answered, rubbing the back of her head as she thought about her and Lin's first time together all those months ago. "Whatcha asking for? Worried something go wrong when you try duplicating the necklace?"

Eva smirked faintly as she shook her head. "Oh yes, there is the possibility that I could very will make a copy of myself. And we wouldn't want two of me 'stalking' you, now would we?" She laughed faintly after she finished, almost sounding... mischievous?

'She wouldn't?!' Yasmin thought worriedly as she looked at Eva. Eva's grin grew as she saw her look of fear. '...She would!' The thought frightened Yasmin somewhat, little good could become of having two of Eva floating around her life.

'Still got it,' Eva thought to herself as she went back to watching the TV.

Lin watched the two's exchange with an inquisitive laugh. She had forgotten that Eva was going to move in, and the thought was still taking some time to get used to. "Soooo, Eva. How long had you known Yasmin? You two seem close, for you to be frenemies."

"Yeah, we're close cause I knew her since before she was born. Since my mom is the captain of the royal guard, I was the first few that knew about her mother's pregnancy. And boy was she trouble, had her mom going through all sorts of cravings," Eva laughed as she thought back to when she was just a kitten. A smile appeared on her face from the fond memories returning to her. "And that was before she was born. Princess here because quite the fussy pup," she continued, causing Yasmin to blushing hotly with embarrassment.

"I wasn't fussy," Yasmin huffed as folded her arms

"You sure?" Eva smirked, "Because I remember seeing aftermath of how your parents and the nannies we're after a couple of the late nights you caused. Baggy eyes, crankiness, and mysterious stains on their clothing. Care to explain, princess?"

Yasmin blushed harder as she squirmed in her seat. Was she a bratty pup? Yeah, but she didn't want Lin knowing that. "I-I don't know what you're talking about."

Lin giggled as she wrapped a tail around her nervous lover. "Hehe, so that would mean you're older than both of us? Gotta say that it's cool you two got to grow up the way you did," Lin said, nudging Yasmin's shoulder slightly. "And daughter of the royal guard turned personal guard to the princess herself. Bet your mom was proud of you to hear that."

"Yes, I'm four years older that Yasmin. It just kinda makes sense with how we're always around, with, or chasing each other around the palaces and around the kingdoms too," Eva chuckled "But, yeah my mom was proud and she the one that trained me after I was made Yasmin's personal guard. She worked me so much harder than the other guards, since well, I'm her daughter so no favoritism and it was hell. But it all worth it to keep princess here safe."

Lin nodded her head as she mused about what Eva was saying. "Wow, that must've been a lot of pressure on you. Cerberus knows I was able to slip under the radar with my own mother. But it sounds that you had it a lot harder," she said. "Then again, after three other older sisters, I guess I lucked out, heh."

Eva shook her head lightly, laughing. "Yeah, it was a lot of pressure. But when you're the daughter to the captain to the royal family guard, you are expected to be able to handle situations like that," Eva said, her voice wavering slightly but she quickly recovered. "Well, anyway, I probably should be heading off to the apartment to grab my stuff."

"Oh we can help if you need it," Lin offered.

However, Eva balled up her trash in her paper bag and stood up, shaking her head. "No, that won't be necessary. I can handle it myself. You two just need to worry about that date of yours. And make sure that you actually are able to go," Eva said quickly as she walked towards the front door.

With it shut, Lin turned towards Yasmin, asking, "Did Eva sound a little sad when she was talking about her mom to you?"

"I don't know," Yasmin said with a shrug. "It been awhile since we've been around each other. But, I do think she was." 'And so am I,' she thought to herself making a promise to call her parents.

Lin frowned slightly, finding it hard to understand why Eva would be sad about her mother. But she dropped the subject for later when she could speak with Eva. "I see... Well, come on you. We got a date to get ready for!" And with that, Lin grabbed Yasmin by the hand and quickly lead her into the bedroom where they started to plan things out for what Lin hoped to be a normal, uneventful night.

Around three hours later, they both were coming out of the house in fresh clothes, arm in arm. Lin dressed with a simple, short light-purple sundress, blue jeans, and a black jacket that came down to her midriff. After a short discussion about it with Yasmin, Lin had Jadquillan's necklace around her neck as she was planning on wearing it for the date. She hoped nothing would come up that make them end the date early. Not focusing on that however, she smiled and leaned into Yasmin, breathing out a small sigh of content.

"Someone seems happy," Yasmin said playfully as they walked to the car. Yasmin was dressed in a black leather jacket with top just as dark. Golden print was on the front of her shirt, showing off a mixture of auburn art and pop culture and a pair of faded blue jeans. "So, any ideas on what we going to see or we'll just pick when we get there?"

"You know me," Lin laughed. "I make it up as I go. If that doesn't bother you." She nuzzled gently into Yasmin's shoulder, breathing in the hound's scent.

"Nah it doesn't, I think it kinda helps if there's a bit of randomness to it," Yasmin said as she opened the car door for Lin. As soon as she was sitting properly she closed the door and walked over to the driver side and got in. Yasmin soft smiled at Lin as she started up the car, slowly she backed out the driveway and drive toward the theater. After, thirty minutes of driving through late afternoon traffic they arrived.

Lin looked up towards the bright movie theater sign that read 'Cinemax.' 'Oh man, it's been awhile since I've been here,' she thought to herself as Yasmin found a parking spot near the front door. Yasmin quickly got out and made her way around the other side to open the door for Lin, getting a smile out of the half-breed.

"Why so kind of you princess." Lin giggled as she stepped out of the car, taking Yasmin's arm after she closed the door. "If I didn't know any better, I say you were actually raised to be a proper hound."

"Oh you wound this young princess' heart," Yasmin said, putting a hand on her heart. "Just cause I'm a princess doesn't mean I don't know how to treat people. Especially my date," she added, looking into Lin's lowered purple eyes. They seemed... distant, longing almost. Yasmin wrapped an arm around Lin's shoulders as they happily walked into the theater. Lin let out another content sigh as she rested her head on Yasmin shoulder. "You alright Lin? Your sighing a lot."

"I'm fine." Lin closed her eyes, inhaling and exhaling a deep, thick cloud of fog. "It's just, how crazy this whole weekend was, I'm happy to finally have a normal moment with you."

"Yeah, it has been pretty hectic," Yasmin said as Lin looked a bit crestfallen. "But, for now it just you, me, a large bucket of popcorn, and a decent movie," she said while nuzzled her cheek.

Lin giggled quietly as her tail wrapped around Yasmin's. "Yeah, now that sounds like a perfect date to me." Her smile grew wider as they approached the front door, resisting the urge to run straight to it while dragging Yasmin by the hand.

However, that wasn't necessary for her to do as the walk to the door was shorter than Lin had thought it would be. Lin pushed the door open for Yasmin, taking a few steps before they stopped in line of the ticket booth. Looking up to the movie display, Lin looked for a movie that she knew would be a good one for the both of them.

"See anything you'd like, Yazzie?" she asked, taking a step forward.

"Hmm, how 'bout you pick the movie?" Yasmin suggested, not caring what they watched really. Lin gave a quick nod a picked out a movie for them to see. As Yasmin paid for the tickets, Lin quickly scurried off to the concession stand. "Hey, wait for me!" Yasmin called out with a small laugh.

Lin giggled as she continued to hurried towards the empty concession stand. "Hehe, don't be so slow," she called back towards Yasmin. Lin came to a stop in front of the stand, briefly cheering, "Ha, ha. I win, and I get to pick the food." Yasmin rolled her eyes as she approached the counter while Lin paid for a large bucket of butter popcorn and two frozen grape slushies.

Yasmin smiled as she shook her head. She took the popcorn and a slush in her hands as they walked into their theater. "Oh, here a good spot," Yasmin said as she guided Lin to less crowded section. She sigh as they sat down. Lin nestle up next to Yasmin as she wrapped an arm around her shoulders. After a few minutes the lights in the theater dimmed as the movie started.

They stayed like that during the whole of the movie, laughing and giggling at any moment along with the crowd. Sitting next to Yasmin, Lin forgot all of her worries that this week had brought them, feeling at peace with her girlfriend again. However, midway through the movie, Lin started feeling pains in her head again and excused herself to the restroom.

As she got there, Lin quickly checked each of the stalls to see if they were empty. Once she was sure, she turned to the wide mirror of the girl's restroom and turned on the sink in front of her. Splashing water in her face, Lin tried to suppress the dull ache in her head, mumbling that she had to get through the night without incident.

'Just ONE night,' she thought to herself. 'Please just give me one night of peace. I just want one night to show her how much I love and appreciate her. Just... just...' A shot of pain raced through her head, causing Lin to cringe before she started thunderously growling out of Lin before she shouted in a fiery roar, "JUST STOP!" As on command, the pain in her head faded, leaving her huffing and puffing out thick clouds of steam before she got her breathing under control.

"Thank you," she said before leaving out of the restroom and returning to her seat next to Yasmin. For the remainder of the movie, they both stayed there, sharing their popcorn and laughs. It wasn't much longer before the movie came to an end and they both were standing up from their seats to head home.

"Well that wasn't too bad now was it?" Lin asked Yasmin as they walked arm in arm out of the theater and to the parking lot.

"No it wasn't bad. That movie was a good pick Lin. Oh man, my sides still hurt," Yasmin laughed as their tails intertwined. "So, what do we do now. It's not that late so we could get a small bite to eat?"

Lin opened her mouth to speak, however, she was stopped when the buzzing throb returned with a force, forcing her to lean closer towards Yasmin. "Uh... actually. I'm pretty tired. Think we could just head home? I'm sorry Yasmin."

"Don't worry about it. But, you ok Lin?" Yasmin asked with slight concern as they made it to the car.

"Just a little headache. Properly feel a lot better after we get home if that's alright," Lin answered as they walked to the passenger side of the car. Lin opened the door up after Yasmin had unlocked it and stepped inside. Sighing, she looked up to Yasmin, who still had a concerned look on her face. "But for what it was worth. I had a great time out with you Yasmin. Again, sorry that this weekend went to shit."

Yasmin bend down to be eye level with Lin. "I had a great time Lin," Yasmin said as she leaned forward, softly cupping Lin's chin and pulling her close. She gave Lin a small kiss on her lips. It lasted no more than a mere moment before Yasmin broke away from Lin, causing a soft whine out of Lin. Yasmin had a small smile on her muzzle before she titled Lin's head to give a quick kiss on her forehead. "I know that not much but I hope it helps until we get home," Yasmin said as her thumb rubbed Lin's cheek before pulled away and close the door.

"Thanks Yazzie, I feel better already," Lin said as Yasmin stood up, closing her door and walking around the front of the car.
