The Shield of Galar

Bridge Field

Marnie wakes up first the next morning, mostly due to her need to pee.  When she rolls over and sees Gloria all cuddled up with Bea, she almost loses it.  Before she lets her outrage get out of control, she notices how calm Gloria looks.  She is in complete serenity laying there, and Marnie couldn't bring herself to ruin it.  Instead she just leaves the tent, does her business then starts getting a fire ready for when Gloria wakes up. 

Bea wakes up as she hears Marnie leave, and curses to herself as she notices Gloria is still resting peacefully on her.  If she knew Marnie, this was going to be an issue.  With a sigh she nudges Gloria awake, who slowly comes to and looks up at Bea.  It takes all of Bea's self control to not squeal out at how cute the waking trainer is. 

"We should get up," she manages to get out, her voice only cracking a tiny bit as she does so.  Gloria just meekly nods and props herself up into a seated position, trying to get her bearings straight. 

"You are so fucking adorable," Bea states, then blushes when she realizes that it had actually slipped out.  This snaps Gloria out of her semisleep state and back into one of embarrassment. 

"Please don't say stuff like that," she mumbles while avoiding eye contact.  "I don't deserve your compliments, especially after how I behaved last night,"

"Well get over it, now that you know how I truly feel I don't have to hold back anymore.  Which means I have years of backlogged compliments to dish out, and you will accept them," Bea chuckles and tackles Gloria and pins her down.  Gloria tries to squirm a bit, but finds herself completely pinned. 

"Bea," she says, almost breathlessly while looking into the stern gray eyes looking down at her.  Bea just smirks.

"Just remember little lady, you may be a big shot in the arena, but outside of it I can kick your ass good.  So no more shooing away my compliments, is that understood?" Gloria nods, her entire body on fire while she remains pinned to the ground.  "Good, now get dressed and I'll meet you outside," with that Bea stands up and leaves the tent still in her pjs, while Gloria remains motionless trying to digest everything that just happened to her.  Even more than that, trying to digest how it made her feel.

"Morning!" Bea calls out to Marnie, a stupid look of satisfaction on her face. 

"Morning," Marnie responds then sticks her tongue out at Bea. 

"Hey you had your chance, and blew it so bad it resulted in her hurting herself," Bea states and grabs the bowls that they left dirty the night before.

"Wow, way to make me feel worse than I already do about the situation," Marnie growls.  "Besides, I don't really care that the two of you were cuddling and sleeping together," she lies, her eye twitching a bit as she says so.

"For a supposed punk, you are awful at lying," Bea chuckles and shakes her head before taking the bowls to the lake where she can clean them out.  

While Bea is down there, Gloria comes out of the tent, a little shaky.  Marnie looks at her, and see how flushed she is, and with mouth agape, looks down at Bea. 

"I...I'm gonna take a quick dip in the cold water and try and clean myself a bit," Gloria says, stuttering before heading toward the water. 

Bea comes back not too long after, watching Gloria use some soap to get herself  clean before jumping into the lake with no care about the temperature. 

"Guess she really wanted to get clean," Bea chuckles.

"Or really needed to cool off," Marnie suggests causing Bea to smile. 

"Ok, maybe I did a little something extra this morning, but it wasn't...inherently sexual,"

Marnie grits her teeth and tries to hold back from yelling.  "You said you'd let me have another chance!"
