Two Worlds - Choni

Chapter 13

Toni climbed out of the RV and frowned. "Cheryl, there's a girl with a tank here to see you!"


"Josie! What have I told you about parking your tank on my lawn?" Cheryl demanded. Toni frowned and turned around. To her surprise, Cheryl had her back turned towards the door the windows, and was rummaging through a drawer, looking for her Chicago house keys.


"How did you know who it was?" She asked. "You're not even looking. For all you know you yelled at the wrong person." Cheryl turned around, keys in hand, and raised an eyebrow.


"How many girls with tanks do you think live in Chicago Topaz?" She asked. "Because it's actually not that common."


"Cheryl, you own a RV that's a couple thousand times bigger on the inside then it is on the outside. I have a collar that regular people can't see. For all I know, half the people in Chicago are driving tanks."


"Nah, that's Jerusalem." The girl said, sticking her head inside the RV. "Here in Chicago, everyone drives magical limos."


"Except you." Toni said, looking at the girl. She was about as tall as Cheryl was, with short blond hair that had been shaved off in random places.


"Actually, all the vanilla mortals see my tank as a limo." She told Toni, sticking out her hand. "The name's Josie by the way."


"I'm Toni." Toni said, shaking Josie's hand.


"Josie, why are you parked on my lawn?" Cheryl demanded, grabbing four pairs of suitcases, two in each hand, and walking out of the RV.


"Only one tread is on the grass!" Josie protested. "Besides, you've got housekeeping fairies, I'm sure they can fix it." Cheryl sighed and set the suitcases down on the doorstep and unlocked the door.


"Why are you here?" She asked, turning around to stare at Josie. The blond girl shrugged.


"I heard you were coming back to Chicago and I figured I'd hang around. Things are always interesting around you after all."


"Do you know any guys with magic?" Toni asked Cheryl, raising an eyebrow. "Seriously, I don't think I've heard you mention knowing a single guy." Cheryl frowned.


"Well, I know Peter Pan, but I'm not sure that 'he' counts." She told Toni, turning around and walking back into the house.


"What do you mean?" Toni asked, frowning as she followed Cheryl into the house.


"Peter's an Imag." Josie told her. "A being brought to life by massive amounts of human imagination."


"The problem with that is that up until Disney came around with their animated movie, everyone always had a girl play Peter Pan, so everyone always pictured Peter as a girl, at least subconsciously." Cheryl said, walking up the stairs. "The result is that Peter has the mind and memories of the character of a book, but the body of a girl."


"She's learned to live with it though." Josie said. "I went on a date with her once. Best one night stand ever!" Cheryl rolled her eyes and walked into the master bedroom.


"So the answer is no, you don't know any guys." Toni said, raising an eyebrow.


"I know guys!" Cheryl protested.


"Guys with magic." Toni told her.


"I know Link and Darth Vader." Cheryl said. Toni frowned and stared at her, not sure if she was kidding or not. "I'm a hundred percent serious." Cheryl assured her. "Link's a mercenary now and Darth Vader runs a coffee shop in New Orleans. It's actually quite popular."


"Dark Side Hot Chocolate..." Josie said with a dreamy smile on her face. Cheryl and Toni both gave her skived out looks.


"I really don't like how you said that." Toni slowly as she headed back to the RV for the rest of her suitcases. Cheryl kept each of her houses (and the RV) fully stocked with a appropriate wardrobe, so she hadn't brought anything for herself.


"Agreed." Cheryl said. "And you might as well leave now Josie; I specifically came here to avoid excitement."


"What do you mean?" Josie asked, cocking her head to the side and frowning.


"The Hunters have organized and have decided to declare war on all of us, starting with the Blossom Coast. I decided to get out of Dodge before anything started." Josie frowned.


"So, they've finally started their extinction war, huh?" She said quietly.


"Looks like it. At the very least they're working on pulling it off in the United States." Cheryl told her.


"Why are you running though?" Josie asked, confused. "You were one of the first people to join the Protection War." Cheryl nodded at Toni, who was just now coming back out of the RV.


"She's a newly turned werewolf." Cheryl told the blonde girl. "She wouldn't survive the war, so I decided to skip town to save her."


"Wow, she must really be special to get Ol' Blood and Guts to run from a war." Josie said teasingly. Cheryl just rolled her eyes at the use of her old war nickname. "What's your plan if they reach Chicago though?"


"Please, this is going to hurt the Hunters far more than it'll hurt us." Cheryl scoffed. "They'd have to fight their way through San Francisco, Las vegas, and maybe New Orleans just to reach Chicago."


"The Hunters aren't all idiots." Josie pointed out. "I'm sure they have some kind of strategy."


"Yeah, I've been wondering about that too." Toni said, setting the suitcases down next to her.


"If it looks like they're going to reach Chicago, then we're going to London." Cheryl told them. Josie nodded, but Toni just gave her a confused look.


"Why London?" She asked.


"London is our city." Cheryl told her. "More than any other city on the planet, London belongs to the magical community. There's a reason why a little island like Britain was able to create a world spanning empire after all." Josie nodded in agreement.


"So, do you have anything planned for your stay here?" She asked Cheryl.


"Well, I figured I'd show Toni the ropes. It's not the full moon anymore, so she can't change, but there are still things she needs to know."


"Agreed. I vote we start on the lesbian threesome lesson right now." Josie said, nodding firmly.


"No!" Toni yelled, sounding shocked.


"Aw, why not?" Josie asked, smirking. "C'mon, give me one good reason why not."


"Go ahead Toni, you tell her." Cheryl said, sounding rather strained.


"Because Cheryl and I are already dating." Toni said. Cheryl nodded.


"That's right. Toni and I are dating and so we can't have a threesome." She said quickly. Josie pouted.


"Aw, you're no fun anymore." She said, walking out of the house. As soon as the door had shut, Toni elbowed Cheryl in the ribs.


"What was that for?" Cheryl demanded.


"You had to think of reason why not to have a threesome, didn't you?" Toni demanded.


"No..." Cheryl said, completely unconvincingly. Toni sighed and grabbed her by the arm, dragging her upstairs. "Where are we going?" Cheryl asked, allowing Toni to lead her.


"You're going to prove your commitment to me in bed." Toni told her. Cheryl grinned.
