Urban Sphinx (w Rain K)

KC chuckled as she leaned against the log and watched as Polly made her way over to her. "So um is this a good start I'm not to sure on the whole um dating thing if that's what this is or um whatever." She blushed bright red as she stumbled over her words only to turn her attention to Lila and then back to Zara shaking her head some. While Zara had never straight up told her she had figured it out when the other girl had drawn her and described the harrowing moment.

Zara reached out and gently grabbed Catra tugging her close to the side that wasn't a mess. "I'm soo injured would you mind feeding me?" She gave her a cutesy face her eyes shining and glinting catlike before she kissed her cheek. Glancing back at Lila she chuckled and rubbed the back of her head "That might be my bad." She gave another chuckle before making sure everyone was there and then nodding. "Alrighty, so this story is pretty old. If any of you guys know your Egyptian Mythology there's a goddess known a Sekhmet. Well, a few centuries ago she created a guardian for the people of Egypt known as the Sphinx. However, she didn't just create a new creature instead she gave the power to transform to a single-family and in that family only the women. If you haven't figured it out that was my family only I don't have control of the power yet and instead, I turn into one once a month that's why I dipped out on our dates that first week as well as gave Lila an experience she won't remember. I can still control myself kind of so she wasn't in any danger but I'm sure it was terrifying to see I get pretty big. However outside of the transformation I can use my wings, have decent regeneration, enhanced strength, and well the cat eyes some of you might have seen once or twice. This is also why my families kind of wealthy without much work haha." She shrugged and took a bit of her first dawg "Any questions."
 
Polly raised an eyebrow with a smirk playing on her face. Angie even looked up at KC and blinked. "Yes?" Polly dragged the word out, unsure if KC wasn't just messing with her. After all, the possibilities seemed high that KC had at least gone out with a guy. "I mean, it's no different than dating a boy, though I never found them the least bit interesting." She glanced over at Angie, and then Nana and finally Zara for help.

Lila was listening from her tent, not daring to be any closer than she currently was.

Nana said, "Sure looks like Lila remembered. I assume you meant won't forget. Other than that Freudian slip, very interesting."

Angie just shook her head as she cast her eyes Zara's way. "Has your family lived here, meaning in Littleton, long? And why along the front range of the Rocky Mountains?"
 
KC blushed as she nodded her head and then pushed two of her fingers together and looked down at her feet. "Um yea I don't know I've never been on a date with a guy and obviously never been on one with a girl." She blushed bright red as she mumbled and looked down at her feet "And I've definetlyh never had two girls trying to get my attention or try and get me to go on a date with them so yea I'm in suuuuper deep waters right now."

Zara gave Polly a shrug before nodding in understanding to Nana and then turned to look up at Angie as she asked the questions. "Littleton nah that's just my family in all honesty with the change in centuries Sekhmet really didn't need us guarding things anymore so shes let us spread around the world. There are still a few family members who guard tombs that haven't been found but nothing major. As for my family, we moved here because of my dads job and that was when I was real little and since my mom was an only child that's why my grandma lives with us."
 
Polly gently patted a leg, albeit not as eagerly as she might have before. "Wow. No wonder you were acting so weird. You were probably thinking Angie and I were thinking weird. I gotta admit, mine was kinda an insta-crush, you've heard of those? On both you and Angie to the point, that I guess I wanted both of you."

Angie gave Polly a glance that indicated she heard that, and was going to let both Polly and KC know that she heard it. Right now she was on the more serious questions regarding her other school mate. Turning back to Zara, she said, "Sounds like your dad, having moved her because of work, is working for one of the three big families that founded Littleton. Mine, which is the Howertons, of course; the Littles, for which the town was named, and was first family in the mayoral races for years; or the Chatfields, for which this park, lake and nearby reservoir are named after exploring the area." She mused. "Either that or the military." She shrugged, not meaning for it to sound like the least important thing, as most moves weren't military based. That was for farther south, in Colorado Springs. Littleton was almost always business. In fact, nearly nine times out of ten, it was business. "And good for you and your mom. One should always look after elder parents. Mom's parents live with us."

"My son must have just woke up to that recently, as he invited me to live with him, his wife and my grandkids just recently. I'm still active and adventurous, however." Nana nodded.

Angie nodded Nana's way. "So I guess my follow up question is in reality... Where does your dad work?"

Meanwhile, Catra kind of leaned gently into Zara wondering about where her cat obsession came from as it seemed all too convenient and quickly. Although it HAD started when she was young. She always admired the cat Presidents of her dad's for instance, and owned a so butt-ugly it's cute Sphinx breed. Was her family also touched by this Sekhmet?
 
KC looked down at her leg and blushed before nodding her head at the other girl "Um yea it was very weird I've never really found myself attractive so when you two girls came after me it really threw me." She blushed chewing on her lip some as she looked at the pair of them taking in their stares which only made her face redder. "I mean the two of you are very attractive and I like hanging out with you sooo um yea." She blushed even more as she moved her hand down and gently took Pollys hand giving it a squeeze before shooting a wink at Angie before she turned back to Zara.

Zara raised a brow as she looked up at the other girl and nodded her head at her question waiting for her to finish her little spiel before she answered. As she did she gently wrapped her arm and wing around her girlfriend kissing her cheek. After Angie finished up she nodded her head and sat back "Short answer the last one was right." She smiled and shrugged "I'm an army brat well military brat. My dad works for the airforce base down in Colorado Springs but he needed a house large enough for some of our artifacts also he needed somewhere with a large are where I could hunt." She smiled her eyes flashing as she finished off the last of her dawgs
 
Polly was confused. "Never found...? But I... You... She... That is... I mean..." She blushed as her own hand was taken and squeezed. But along with that blush, was a coy smirk.

"Don't strain too hard, Pocket." Angie snickered, glancing her way. She then looked back at Zara. "Base in the Springs? Wait... Isn't Pete Field (Peterson AFB) wrapped up in all that Space X Patrol, or whatever? Your dad's mixed up in that?" It wasn't that Angie had a problem with that, per se, it was just this was close to home, as she always thought Zara was cool, but it wasn't until recently that she finally got the initiative to try to be friends with, instead of intimated by, Zara. She was starting to get that intimidated feeling again... And she had now seen her as a Sphinx... Sort of.

Catra sat there, more watching the fire, a smile, albeit brief, flashing across her face at the kiss on her cheek. She poked some logs in the fire, sending little embers and causing a sizzling sound, before tossing the stick into the blaze.
 
KC blushed as she looked down at the hand then back up at the other girl "Well they might have but if you haven't guessed I'm kind of oblivious." She chuckled some as she glanced up at Angie before her chuckle turned into a giggle and she leaned back against the log her hand tight and warm as she squeezed her. "So this is nice. Right?" She continued to blush as she looked around snagging a marshmallow and beginning to roast it.

Zara raised a brow before giving a shrug her arm snug around Catra as she Angie continued to go off on a question tirade. She smiled as she tried to figure out everything she could about Zara and her powers. "Mmm well he might be and he might be I'm not really allowed to talk about any of that stuff. Which is kind of ironic given the history of my family but that's ancient history literally haha but yea I can't tell you that just suffice to say he works down there." She chuckled and winked at her as she let out a yawn and then stretched her arms out over her head and let her wings disappear "So anything else Princess haha?"
 
Angie seemed to be more interested, suddenly, in being a good hostess as she bit her lower lip and looked over to KC and passed the loaf (which was down to half a loaf) of ginger bread, pan and chocolates over to KC more of a just in case. That hadn't helped. She seemed intimated in expression more by what Zara's dad did, than what her family was. She held her peace... Until Zara's wings disappeared. She then quietly said, "I'm. You're among friends, y'know. You can let your wings out. Be yourself."

Polly just seemed to be content hand holding. And Lila seemed to be content hiding in her tent.

Nana broke the uneasy silence. "So... Does anyone know the guitar AND have it with her?"

Angie, still kind of not making eye contact with anyone, raised her hand, but not fully, and not seeing if KC or Zara did.
 
Zara raised a brow at Angie and gave a chuckle before shaking her head "Oh I understand hun its just a hassle to keep them out all the time." She chuckled as she snuggled up next Catra. "Its not painful or anything they just tend to get in the way and people step on them or trip over them. Its easier to have them put up however I can keep the teeth and eyes if you want." She smiled her teeth sharp and long and her eyes glowing an eerie yellowish green. She smiled some and then turned to the older woman her hand raising as well "I'm not to bad at it if I do say so myself."

KC smiled as she looked down at the hand unsure of herself really but despite how confusing her feelings had been she was happy right now. She blushed some a warm feeling in her chest before she glanced up at Nana and shook her head. "I am a drummer or vocalist." She chuckled some as she fake drummed in the air a moment later
 
Angie seemed to spark up with that remark and the fact Zara had her guitar as well. "Wow these plebes with Dueling Banjos? Or rather, more appropriately... Dueling Guitars so both of us can limber up our fingers. I'll get it if you like... It is in the RV, right?Who should start?"

Polly watched all this with unmitigated glee. Lila loved a good battle of the strings. That would surely bring her out of hiding.
 
Zara raised a brow with a chuckle as she stretched her arms out over her head and checked her arm and then down at her chest. "Mmm sure why not its been a hot moment since I've played so I could use some practice." She kissed Catras cheek before gently moving her off and stood up "Sorry Kitty Catra I know you were warm but I gotta show off." She smiled and nodded towards Angie "Please and since it was your idea I'll let you go first princess."

KC smiled and watched the other girls waiting for them to start while she munched on her treat
 
Catra sighed as she was moved from her spot and Angie went up the hill to fetch both guitars. When she brought them both down, no one could tell which was who's as they both were the same and well used. Angie smirked as she put her strap over her shoulder and produced a pick. After a checking strum and finger movements along the neck, flexing them on the strings, she commented,. "If you're half as good as your guitar's use looks... This should be the easiest tie... Considering no one wins or loses with this tune. Ready? Let's duel!" She then strummed the opening notes, signaling the challenge was on.
 
Zara chuckled and shot Catra a wink "Don't worry I'll be back." Stretching a bit more she watched as Angie dashed away and then made her way back down the hill. Looking the two guitars over she nodded her head and snagged the one she knew was hers. While they may look the same hers was made specifically for her because of her size and she had also marked it on the back. Nodding her head she smiled at the other girl agreeing with her "Lets go then." She waited for her to start and once she did she returned the challenge with the next lines of the duel her fingers slowly getting into action

KC squeezed the other girls hand as she slowly and gently rested against her
 
Angie smirked as the challenge was accepted. She played the next part, and it would continue between the two like that until Angie would play the first line of Yankee Doodle (which, if anyone has heard Dueling Banjos, knows that's about a minute or so in) knowing full well that Zara's retaliation would be to break off in a different direction, and the two would end up giving their fingers a much needed workout on the respective guitar necks for a good three minutes to the end.
 
Zara gave a smile as she winked down at her girlfriend and countered Angie's strum with one of her own. She continued like this down the path meeting her challenge one for one and flirting with Catra when she had her small breaks. Soon enough though she and Angie were going at it back and forth rapidly their fingers flying while she circled the fire hoping to match Angies passion.

KC glanced over to Polly then with another blush she leaned back and lay her head on her shoulder
 
Angie focused more on watching Zara and matching her step by step, until they were next to each other. As they finished (to a big round of applause), Angie did one last finger flex on the neck without strumming. "You know how hard it is to find someone that can actually play that with the passion it deserves? All I can say is Finally!" She looked to the others. "Now that we're limbered, any campfire song requests?"

"The theme to MASH?" Lila asked meekly.

"No way! American Pie!" Catra practically catcalled Lila for calling for that one, but was glad to see her emerge.

"Since when was Don McLean a campfire song?" Nana asked, perplexed, as she looked blinking at Catra.

"Well, what about Saturday Morning Cartoon Calvacade?" Catra shrugged.

Angie put her hands on her hips. "Really? The only two I know of that is Pac-Man and Mario Brothers and part of Captain N Gamemaster." With a sigh and shake of her head, she quipped, "I'm surprised no one's asked for the Disney Afternoon..." She watched Polly suddenly put her hand down, as she had her other hand around KCs back. "Really?!" She sighed and looked at Polly. Then she looked at Zara, actually looking for help. "They want cartoon themes. I'm not a fan of American Pie because of some lines in the last verse... But...?"
 
Zara matched her pace for pace until after several minutes they managed to finish up, she smiled and let the guitar hand for a moment as she flexed her fingers. "Mmm I don't know about passion but I always give it my all when I'm playing." She chuckled and shook her head as she watched the other girls raise their hands and ask for different things. Nodding her head she smiled "Well if you don't like American Pie we can always do Weird Als version. Ya know get some Starwars feels up in here."

KC blushed as she looked up at Polly and giggled before she was quickly shot down
 
"That I could tell." Angie said with a smirk. "To me, that's passion in your playing. Shows you actually care about the writer as well as the song, and your own abilities. I enjoy playing against people like that; makes it fun." She then thought about Zara's question. "Well, Kit Kat is the one that asked for the song..." She blushed. "I don't know the words by heart of The Saga Begins, sorry."

Catra thought for a minute. "I don't either, actually. Tell us the story.*"

Polly was blushing with KCs head on her shoulder, biting her lower lip... But continued to send mixed signals by rubbing her back in circles, yet not letting her hand wander too far down it.

*-Zara sings it, add all the lyrics as part of the post as if Zara does tell them the story.
 
KC gave a small groan but she didn't stop the other girl and pressed back into her enjoying the attention

Zara chuckled as she looked across at the other girl and nodded her head "Sure I can do that but don't make fun of my singing voice." She smirked a she gave Catra a wink before her fingers started to strum picking out the tun to American Pie but the words that came out obviously weren't. Glancing up at the sky she held her arms out for a moment as she began to sing.

"A long long time ago
In a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the Federation into
Maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy..."
She smiled and turned towards Catra her brow raised before she started in on the next few lines.

"Oh my my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

"Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave
But he can use the Force they say
Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday
Well, I know he built C-3PO
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I know who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy"

"We started singin'... My my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

"Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance to the Force?
They interviewed the kid
Oh, training they forbid
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said, "Now listen here
Just stick it in your pointy ear
I still will teach this boy"

"He was singin'... My my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

"We caught a ride back to Naboo
'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would've liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
And in the end some Gungans died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll train this boy"

"And I was singin'... My my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We were singin'... My my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
As she finished up the last note fading into the night she smiled and turned to the others before giving a bow


 
How only six people could make an applause thunderous is a mystery for the ages, but that's exactly what happened, with Lila actually being the one leading the standing ovation. Angie was grinning and clapping as well. She hit a few strums that sounded familiar. "And now let's fast forward a generation..." She gave Zara a knowing smirk before she started playing and singing,*

Zara smiled as she panted some watching the others and for one of the first times and despite her cool girl attitude she was blushing some. It got especially bad when they stood up and started to clap for her. She shook her head and waved them off but as Angie started to play she plopped back down next to Catra and gave her a kiss while enjoying the music that Angie was expertly playing.

KC rolled her eyes as she joined the others in clapping for her friend but once she was settled in she took back her seat and eagerly waited for Angie to start playing. She smiled through the whole thing and once she was done she was clapping much harder for her than she had for Zara.
 
After Angie finished the other hit Star Wars parody by Weird Al, she blushed and waved off the clapping which seemed louder yet, if that was possible. "Please..." She said a bit weakly, as if it wasn't something to be that excited about. "Now are we ready for a sing along? As in actual campfire songs?"
 
Zara chuckled as the girl blushed and then took a moment to rest she leaned back and gave Catra another kiss before standing back up and moving around the fire place some as she waited to start playing. Some of her baser instincts were kicking in and she was prowling/pacing some.

KC giggled as well at Angies reaction but she tossed her an air kiss before sitting up with an idea "Hmm what about home on the range hehe."
 
Catra was loving the attention but was being coy about showing it, although it was plain to see for anyone paying attention.

"Now that's a campfire song!" Angie giggled pretending to catch it on her cheek and throwing KC one back. She looked at Zara, let's have a coupla guitars on this." She started playing, "You know it sing with us!"

Oh give me a home
Where the buffalo roam
And the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day!

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day!

After that she looked around for any others, but everyone was silent.
 
Zara chuckled as Catra tried to pretend she didn't enjoy the quick kisses and glances, she knew she loved it and would continue to do it. As KC called out and Angie answered with an idea she nodded her head. "Mmm sounds good princess." She gave another chuckle as she shot Catra a wink and started to strum along in lone with Angie soon enough she was singing along with her as she strummed.

KC giggled and blushed as the kiss was returned but soon enough she was blushing for another reason as she joined in singing along with them
