Best Friends with Benefits

chapter 10: Showdown at Denton TV Station

LP and Miracle were locked in the TV Station by Cosmo and Nation. 

"Miss Nation..." LP tried to speak up, but was hushed by Cosmo.

"Do not be afraid, child..." Cosmo said in a low tone. 

"I'm scared." LP whispered to Miracle.

Miracle took her friend into a hug. She may have been acting silly but she'd always care for her friend. "Aww, don't be scared."

'That painkiller must've been one of the stronger ones.' Nation thought. She then looked at the two girls "He, nor myself, will hurt you" she said, trying to give comfort in her smile.

"It's going to be okay, you two." Cosmo grinned as he stood next to Nation. "Don't expect pain and misery from such an alliance."

Miracle tilted her head, looking once again confused. "Vhat alliance?" She hugged her friend a little tighter to comfort her.

Nation looked at Cosmo and back at the girls. "Well, Cosmo," she sighed, lightly. "What are we going to do now?" she was quiet, but a tiny bit exasperated.

"I knew they were in with a bad crowd but it was worse than I imagined," Cosmo replied, observing the girls. "ALIENS."

Miracle giggled and whispered. "He calls us 'aliens'." She loosened her arms a little more, so that she was still hugging LP but LP could break out of the hug if need be. She had a goofy smile on her face.

Nation blinked and then looked over them and back at Cosmo. Her face turned into a stoic look. 'Have you forgotten we are too?' Her eyes conveying this message, even if she didn't physically say it to him.

Cosmo turned to his sister. "Not everyone knows we are..." he whispered loudly to her. "We could maybe expose them...." he turned back to the girls with a smile to assure them everything was fine, but he looked creepier than normal.

Miracle finally let LP go from her hold. She then looked at Cosmo. "Vhy are you smiling?" she asked, tilting her head. She then grinned back not really finding it creepy right now.

Nation sighed once again. "No, because then there would be an investigation, that could blow our cover."

"Hmm..." Cosmo hummed. "But Little Precious is the child of the king of the galaxy... What if she's like her father?" Cosmo glanced at LP to see if she would be a threat to anyone.

"You need a nap, Miracle... right now.." LP said to soothe her new friend.

"B-But I'm not sleepy." Miracle pouted. Her green eyes were slightly glazed showing she wasn't in a proper state of mind.

Nation looked between LP and Miracle. She looked at Cosmo then "I don't think she is like him, after all she is caring to Miracle see?" she said. She had a thoughtful look on. "Plus in the time I spent with her, she was really nervous until she got used to me and seems sweet." 

"Hmm... I guess we could let them go..." Cosmo smirked. "You were always the sensible one..."

"And don't you forget it." Nation gave a small smirk, but she was a little suspicious at how quick he gave up.

Neil, the security guard came in to buzz and alert the sibling doctors. "There is a couple here to pick up Miss Majors and her friend."

"Daddy must be here!" LP gasped with relief.

Miracle looked at LP. "Vould ve get in trouble?"

"Daddy's terrifying when angry," LP bit her fingertips. "I was a minute late after curfew once and he strapped me to a wheel and threw knives at me!"
