Frenni's Nightclub

Frenni is seen backstage behind the curtains, tapping her foot impatiently. Chicu and Fexa are standing with her, watching her movements. Chicu puts a hand on Frenni's shoulder with a concerned look.

Chicu: "You alright, honey?"

Frenni looked up at her friend from being deep in thought. A small frown etched across her lips.

Frenni: "It's past midnight, and the security gates haven't been closed yet. It seems the new night guard is a no-show."

Fexa looked to the ground with a small frown, wrapping her arms around her own body for some form of comfort. She squeezed her eyes shut and growled.

Fexa: "... good riddance to them. I should've known better than to try and start caring about people... again."

Frenni put a hand on Fexa's cheek and gently lifted her head, giving a small, comforting smile to the fox.

Frenni: "Don't blame yourself, Fexa. It's been quite a long time since we've had to care about anyone. But this is just who we are now, remember? We can't change the past, much as we want to."

Frenni put her hands on her hips and cleared her throat, heading towards the curtains.

Frenni: "I'll just have to let Marie know that she has to close the security gates again."

Frenni peeked open the curtains as a look of surprise jumped onto her face. She quickly closed the curtains and backed up a few steps. Chicu noticed this with a frown.

Chicu: "Somethin' wrong, sugar?"

Frenni: "H-He's back!"

This immediately caught Fexa's attention as she unfolded her arms.

Fexa: "What?!"

She quickly cracked open the curtains, just enough to peek through with her good eye. Her head was pushed down by Chicu, squeezing in to watch as well, followed by Frenni. Sure enough, a familiar man was walking through the showroom in his night guard outfit. Damien checked his watch with a frown as he seemed to be walking at a brisk pace.

Damien: "Not good. It's only my second night, and I've already come in late."

He quickly moved to the front doors, lowering and locking the security gate. He then headed into the power room. The three performers backed away from the curtains. Frenni seemed to be considering something while Chicu jumped in place in excitement.

Chicu: "It's good to see him again!"

Fexa seemed to smile as she kept looking toward the curtains. She chuckled to herself.

Fexa: "I guess the dumbass is a masochist if he decided to come back for more." She looked to the ground, still smiling.

Frenni clapped her hands together, catching the attention of the other two girls. She spun around to face them.

Frenni: "Okay! We've got another chance to get him, girls. I think this time... all four of us should pounce at once. He'll have no chance of escape this time."

Chicu: "You want all four of us to go at once, hun?"

Frenni: "You act like this wouldn't be the first time we had some fun together, Chic.~" She gave a sly grin to the cook.
