“WELL DONE EVERYONE, AND CONGRATULATIONS TO TODAY'S WINNER, RAGATHA!”
Everyone had just been teleported by Caine back to the tent, and everyone looked like $#!&. The adventure, which had spanned over the course of three whole days, consisted of everyone chasing some illusionary creature out on the grounds, which turned out to just be Bubble in a weird costume.
Pomni and Ragatha were slumped next to each other, sitting on the ground and trying not to pass out from exhaustion. Zooble was finally reunited with their arm, which they had lost on day one, Gangle’s tragedy mask had begun to crack, and Kinger was chasing after his hands like a dog chasing after its own tail. Even Jax seemed worse for wear, his fur sticking up in multiple directions and his cocky smile nowhere to be seen.
“NOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT ADVENTURE WAS A BIT MORE DIFFICULT THAN USUAL, BUT A MORE DIFFICULT CHALLENGE MEANS A MORE REWARDING REWARD!” Caine exclaimed. The AI waited for the thunderous applause that he was sure would follow that statement, but the jester and the doll simply looked up at him with dead eyes, hoping he would soon get to the point so they could return to their room and pass out for a few days.
“RAGATHA, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR VERY OWN ROOM EXPANSION!” He said.
Ragatha’s eyes widened and she nearly leaped off of the ground, leaving Pomni to fall over onto her face in her absence. “Are you serious? Yes! I’ve been wanting a bigger room for years!” She yelled, turning back to face Pomni. The jester gave her girlfriend a weak thumbs up.
“THE ONLY ISSUE IS THAT I NEED TO DECOMMISSION A ROOM TO MOVE THE SPACE OVER TO YOURS, AND I CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE TO REMOVE.” Caine said, placing a finger on his non-existent chin. Pomni finally lifted her head off of the ground and looked at the floating pair of dentures. “You can get rid of mine.” She blurted out.
Caine looked down at the jester in surprise, as well as Ragatha.
“NOW WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO GIVE UP YOUR ROOM POMNI?” He asked, eyeing the girl up and down.
“Oh, um...I don’t really uh...use it anymore?” Not really a lie, as Pomni practically lived in Ragatha’s room anyway. The two hadn’t told anyone in the circus that they were a thing. The only one that knew was Bubble. Ragatha had spotted him staring at her and Pomni making out after she had forgotten to lock their door. Luckily it was easy enough to convince the AI not to say anything about it.
Neither of them were sure how Caine would react to two of his inhabitants dating, so they decided to stay quiet about it for as long as they could. Pomni felt like she was sweating bullets as Caine studied her, not sure what he was trying to deduce and begging that he wouldn’t prod into her any further.
“VERY WELL. POMNI’S ROOM WILL BE NO MORE. YOUR NEW ROOM SHOULD BE READY RIGHT ABOUT…” Caine snapped his fingers. “...NOW! ENJOY YOUR NEW LIVING SPACE MY SUPERSTAR! AND LUCK POMNI WITH...SLEEPING ON THE GROUND!” And with that, Caine was gone in a puff of smoke and a goofy sound effect.
Ragatha turned back to Pomni and squealed, pulling her girlfriend into a tight hug and jumping up and down. “I’ve been waiting so long for this!” She exclaimed. Pomni, meanwhile, was trying not to barf from the sudden bouncing. Ragatha soon took notice and put her down, chuckling and apologizing.
“Well, let’s go check it out then.” Pomni said, grabbing the doll’s hand and giving it a squeeze. “Hopefully the beds are softer. I just wanna sink right into the mattress and sleep for a week.” Pomni’s eyes were already beginning to droop again.
Once at the door, Ragatha placed her hand on the doorknob and turned to her girlfriend.
“On three?” She asked, and Pomni nodded in return. The doll took a deep breath.
“One...two...three!”
Ragatha swung open the door and the two let out a gasp. From what they could see, the room was now more like a two story home. There was a living room directly in front of them, a kitchen off to the left and a set of stairs off to the right. The two stepped inside and shut the door behind them.
“Holy shit.” Pomni muttered, which earned her a look mixed between surprise and horror from her girlfriend.
“Did...did you just swear Pomni?”
“I...oh my god I did.” Pomni said, touching her mouth as if there was something wrong with it. “Shit. Bitch. Fuck!” No censor bar came up in front of her mouth, and no sound effect played to drown out her words. The two girls were ecstatic. They ran around the house shouting expletives at the top of their lungs as they discovered every room there was to find. Along with the kitchen and living room, there were two bathrooms, a handful of closets, a guest bedroom, a crafts room for Ragatha’s sewing, and a master bedroom with a balcony overlooking the grounds.
Once the two had finished having their fun, they flopped down onto their bed. Pomni groaned as she began to sink into the mattress, like she was laying in a cloud. Ragatha fished her out before she was enveloped entirely and kissed her, Pomni eagerly returning it.
The doll eventually pulled away from the kiss. The smile on her face was the largest Pomni had ever seen. “This is so exciting, Pomni. I’ve been dreaming about a bigger room for forever!” She said, trying her best to contain her excitement. “And I’m so glad that I get to share it with you.”
Pomni giggled and gave Ragatha a quick kiss on the cheek. “I’m glad that you’re so willing to share a bed with me.” She replied.
“Well why wouldn’t I want to share a bed with the prettiest girl in the world?” Pomni blushed and tackled the doll down onto the bed with a hug. Almost immediately upon laying down the two drifted off to sleep, wrapped in the safety of each other’s arms.
