When dEna let her girlfriend plan their first date, she wasn’t expecting this.
She wasn't expecting to be brought to a purge event.
They were standing in the dank alley that held the entrance and sEna was bouncing around with excitement, babbling about how fun it was going to be and how the other times shed been here had been absolutely divine!
Just the thought of her lovely, innocent girlfriend attending one of these things made dEna feel sick, much less going to one with her.
She could feel the pounding music rattle her parts even though they weren't even in the party yet.
A thousand thoughts ran through her mind as she looked at the door in front of them, the most prominent being ‘WHY!!?!!!!”
sEna, oblivious to her partner's thoughts, paid the entrance fee and dragged the two of them through the doors into the party.
Not giving a single thought as to why dEna wasn't responding to her at all.
The lights flashed, the music blared, and the floor was sticky with unidentified fluids, and sEna loved it!!!
She quickly let herself get lost in it, moving and grooving to the beat, and thoroughly enjoying herself!
dEna was having a far less enjoyable time.
The scent of sweaty degenerates clogged her senses and the oppressing mass of bodies surrounding her was terrifying.
The blaring music further disoriented her and she distantly felt herself fall to her knees, arms detaching and being lost to the stamping feet of the crowd.
She melted into a haze of pain and nausea as the party-goers rammed into her from all sides, uncaring if the stepped on her or not.
The party was coming to an end and sEna knew she had to get out of there.
She liked the party bits, but not so much the ‘get drugged and then cannibalized’ parts.
She didn't think she'd taste very good anyway.
So, she had to find her partner and get out of there.
Easy!
It was not easy.
Sometime during the party she had lost her.
Actually she'd probably lost her as soon as they got there, but she didn't need to focus on that right now, she had to find dEna.
As she wandered the crowded rooms, she could feel herself growing more and more panicked.
Usually sadness wouldn't have a reason to come out at these party's, as it was all joy.
But the sense of dread at permanently losing her girlfriend, on their first date no less, made her feel awful!
Just as she was about to descend Into full sadness, her foot accidentally kicked something suspiciously Ena shaped on the floor.
She looked down to see dEna strewn across the glowing floor, her parts only held together by some sort of branch growing out of her.
It looked painful.
“Urrgh… help me.. get out of this … STUPID party ….” She croaked out, twitching slightly.
sEna sniffled, before throwing herself onto dEnas prone form, crying in relief that she found her.
dEna only gave a moan of pain, which caused sEna to quickly get up with a yelp and apologize.
dEna interrupted her,
“yeah yeah .. you're forgiven, now get me out of here.”
sEna nodded and scooped all of dEna's parts up.
Usually it was easy to carry her, as sEna was bigger, but the branches made it a little awkward to hold her.
Nevertheless, she managed to get both of them out of there and all the way back to sEna’s home.
sEna threw dEna onto her bed before collapsing next to her in a jumble of parts and groaned with relief.
She rolled her head over to face dEna
“I’m so so sorry for dragging you to that stupid pawty!
I'm so stupid, how can you even love me?
I'm unwoveable!” She cried before descending into loud sobbing.
dEna sighed before attempting to move her arm enough to pat sEnas head.
She only managed to nudge her face slightly, but it caught the sad girls attention.
“It's fine, I just, wasn't prepar-”
“NO!! It's my fault you're like this cus’ I dragged us there an- *hic* and didn't pay enough attention t-to you!
And I didn't even get to dance with you!!
Waaaaaaaahhhhh!!!”
Her arms flailed about in panic as she cried, before smacking dEna in the face with a stray hand.
“OW!! Watch it!”
“Awwghh I'm a teweible girlfweind!!!
I'm hurtin’ you when you're already sick!!!!
You mus’ wanna bwake up wif meeee!!!”
Her yellow side was blacked out now, and she was well and truly panicking.
And even though dEna was feeling awful from her panic at the disco, calming her girlfriend was the first order of business.
“Hey, hey, it's okay, you just made a mistake!
You're not a bad girlfriend, and I'm not going to sever our romantic contract!” Sales person said, before Meanie cut in,
“Yeah! And the slap didn't even hurt!
You've got about as much strength in those arms as a worm with arthritis!”
before flopping over so her parts were loosely piled up on sEnas form.
As her sobs receded into small hiccups and the color came back into her face, dEna nuzzled softly into her face.
“I- I'm still sowwy about taking you to the party… you didn't have any fun at all!!
Let me make it up to you by… uhm… oh, by taking care of you until you're better!!”
Her yellow side brightened up at her idea before continuing,
“Yeah, I could make you soup, and tuck you in, and read you bedtime stories, and kiss you good night and-”
dEna cut her off,
“mmmm, sounds great love. But for now, I think the best medicine for me, is cuddles from my girlfriend.”
sEna giggled, before nodding and wrapping her arms around dEna.
dEna nuzzled into sEnas chest and let out a quiet “g’night”
sEna smiled and kissed her forehead before responding “goodnight, love!”
