The Park, Sunday Evening

[nookiepowered]

This portal? Not so sparkly. Not so rainbow-hued.

Not so anything, really, besides a big gaping hole in the air beside the duck-pond, with a loud, growling sound not unlike a Dyson-ball vacuum choked with cat-hair but still valiantly continuing to suck because it was just. that. good.

Like the other portal, though, it was singing. Slightly out of tune.

What? Even though it was sucking every one of Fandom's Super-Special Guests right out of this dimension -- you're welcome -- it did have some flaws.

Queen Tyshabella of House Lannister, First of Her Name, pressed fingertips to her eyes and wiped away one crystalline tear as she daintily stepped up to the portal. Her direwolf flanked her to the left, while her miniature pet dragon sang a jaunty song as she gambolled along to the right.

Ty-Ty had so hoped she'd be able to relax on the island, but it was not to be. As soon as she'd arrived the day before, she'd gotten swept up in an adventure that had kept her very, very busy in the preserve all weekend. She'd barely had time to say hello to her beloved brothers!

A queen's work, she reflected, was never done.

She blew a kiss and stepped through the portal, vowing to return again one day.

When Leo had started babbling about a return portal, Sia didn't think she'd ever moved faster in her life than when she decided she wanted to see her off.

Because she wanted to make damn sure that this girl left. And that she didn't hit on any more of her friends on the way.

Which... would not be difficult, seeing as how Sia hadn't been big on making friends.

"There it is," Sia said when she saw the portal. "Go."

Leo was so sorry to be leaving! The people were so pretty and seemed to really appreciate all her talent. When she got home it would be to return to a life of responsibility and Sith-killing and kissing all the boys (and girls, if she felt like it) and being a badass with a lot of inner pain.

"I can't believe I have to go so soon!" Leo said, one perfect tear rolling down her cheek and not at all leaving a line in her makeup. She didn't need to wear makeup, see. She was naturally this beautiful.

[notconflicted]

"I can't believe this day came so late," Sia said. "Good luck... elsewhere."

She meant 'good luck' as to Leo's poor actual sister. How that Sia wouldn't be some sort of agent of the dark side after dealing with this person her whole life was beyond her.

[bestprincessyay.livejournal.com]

"And to you!" she said, throwing herself at Sia in a big hug.

She gave the best hugs. Everyone said so.

They also said that they were better for having met her, even for a second.

Also that she was really good in bed, that she had the most beautiful voice that ever was, that she was a really good Jedi in addition to being a Sith-killing Imperial Knight, that she was the only real hope for the galaxy, she had shiny hair, etc. etc. etc.

Sia... wasn't going to hug her back. She had no idea what this girl had but she didn't want to catch it.

"Are you quite done yet?" she asked finally.

[bestprincessyay.livejournal.com]

Oh, Sia. So young but always older than her, ha, so frigid.

"I'm just going to miss you so much!" No she wouldn't. "Kiss Atton and Bo for me!"

Leo had made friends. They complimented her, which obviously meant she'd made friends and also that they loved her.

[notconflicted]

She was not frigid, narrative, and she didn't even mind hugs. She just minded hugs from people she hated.

And she was still being hugged. She moved to remove Leo's arms from her, stating, "No. No to both. For several reasons."

[bestprincessyay.livejournal.com]

Just saying, other narrative. Just saying.

"One day you'll find yourself like I have," Leo said sympathetically, reaching to brush some of Sia's hair from her face, while being really glad she'd missed out on the white streak. It just made people look so much older.

She wouldn't mind it if the streak was blue, or pink, or maybe if it changed color with her mood.

[notconflicted]

"That's..." If Sia ever found herself like Leo had, she hoped someone would care enough for her to just put her out of her misery immediately. "The portal is probably closing soon, you really should make sure you get through it."

Before Sia pushed her through.

Leo went in for another hug just to piss Sia off. "Till next time, sister," she said, and kissed her cheek just because.

[notconflicted]

Ugh.

"I will not be here next time," said Sia, who made that a promise to herself right this very second.

[bestprincessyay.livejournal.com]

Suuuuure.

Leo let her go, and with a wave and a, "May the Force be with you, dear sister," she went back through the portal.

[notconflicted]

Sia watched her go through the portal... and stayed there until she was sure the damn thing had closed and wasn't opening up again.

And then she broke out into a relieved smile, and resolved to shower the instant she got back to the dorms.
