Hanging with Second Momma
Who: Bella and Gwen
Where: Gwen and Wes's Place
When: July 20th, Afternoon
Unlike the last time Bella saw Gwen... the blonde slayer looked positively thrilled as she stood in her bedroom at Wesley's place, packing her belongings carefully. She couldn't help but laugh at what an odd combination of weapons and dorky memorabilia she owned... it was truly pure Gwen. She looked very... understated today, wearing torn jeans, sneakers, and a Broken Sunrise tank-top.
Bella had actually come over to help her second-mother pack her belongings to move to Vegas. "I can't believe that you're actually moving to Vegas," she said as she hefted another weapon into a box properly. "Seems like everyone is, lately."
"Bella!" Gwen laughed, prancing over happily. "Girl, I've been wanting to see you SO bad since you came back! I swear I was going to find you before I left. I've just been... really, really busy."
"Everyone's been busy," Bella said. Even Damon had been busy lately, which had kind of worried her and made her uncomfortable. Still, she didn't want to think about it right now.
"Before you left.. I was a mess. I know. And I'm SO sorry for worrying you that way, Bells." Gwen smiled and hugged the other girl. "If it helps? I think I'm finally really healed. I feel kinda... whole again."
Bella grinned. "Well, good," she said to her. "It's about damn time that everyone finally gets their stuff together and actually start living like semi normal people again." OK, she had a point, didn't she? "If you and I can be forgiving, then everybody should."
"So, if you haven't heard, I'm sorta dating one of your cousins now. Hope that ain't too weird for you..." Aww... it seemed that sometimes, even Gwen could be sweet and considerate of others' feelings.
Bella simply shrugged. "Only sort of," she pointed out. "Like...a step cousin, I think." She didn't have a memory of Blake, which made it even less weird for her, actually. "Don't worry about it. Be happy."
"Ok, Bobby McFerrin." Gwen smirked, realizing at the last second that most normal people wouldn't get that joke, much less a girl from 18 years in the future. "But yeah. I am. Nobody's ever made me feel so important. So... so LOVED."
"Who?" Bella asked. Oh yeah, scream 'DAMN KIDS!' to the heavens all you want on that one. "And like I said, awesome. Don't worry about what anyone things about it. From as far as I can tell, most are supportive, anyway."
"Even your mom and I kind of made up." Gwen smirked there, deciding to go with Brute Force Honesty. "Ok, made up as in, all is forgiven, and we don't wanna tear each other's throats out anymore. I wouldn't go expecting us to be going shopping together or being pen pals anytime soon."
Bella snorted. "Even I've made nice with Ben and Mom. Total proof that apparently we're all supposed to live happily ever after with bunnies and sunshine dreams." She laughed. "That's good, though. No need to go on shopping dates together or anything."
"Jesus she's still smoking hot though. GAH." Facepalm... yeah, she needed to be saying this to Skylar's DAUGHTER. Nice. "So how're things with you since you came back? Been spending time with Damon, I'm guessing?"
"And now the moment's ruined," Bella said, making a face. "Anyways! Things have been going OK. Watching over my little sister a good bit and making sure that nothing happens to her." She looked away when she mentioned Damon. "Damon's been...busy."
"Busy as in busy, or busy as in 'fucking someone else and now Gwen has to slay him'? Because I know that tone, Bells. And if he went all typical-male, I swear I'm gonna dust him, roll his ass into a joint, and smoke him." Uh-oh. Angry!Gwen was threatening to make an appearance. And do we all remember the last time Gwen was angry? And pooped on someone's carpet?
She simply shrugged. "I really don't know. He's just been, well, busy. He was so happy to see me when I first came back, and now when I call or try to come over he's always gone or about to leave for some 'business'."
"Ok. So help me GOD. He hurts you and I will dust him, I don't care HOW much I like him." Gwen actually started pacing then, cutely enough. Nobody hurt her Bella, damnit!
Too bad for Damon then, huh? But that's foreshadowing. "Don't get carried away just yet, OK?" Bella asked. "Let me find out if he's been with another woman or if he's just honest to god busy, OK?"
"Yeah, yeah. I swear though. I've had ENOUGH with people cheating. This is life, dammit, not motherfucking Melrose Place." Gwen huffed, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Actually, I'm pretty sure our lives ARE Melrose Place," Bella pointed out. It seemed like their lives were a giant soap opera, that just happened to involve doing things like killing the occasional vampire as well."
"Then where the FUCK is Heather Locklear, and why hasn't anyone sent her my way yet?" Gwen asked with a slowwwwly raised eyebrow. Oh lord.
That just made Bella laugh. "Probably getting plowed by some rock star, you know, like in real life," she pointed out. What? She had a point.
"Bah. ANYWAY." Gwen snickered there, probably completely unaware of how COMPLETELY different she seemed than that last night the two had talked. "So... you seriously got NO memories back? Damn. That BLOWS."
Bella shook her head. "None at all, and it was kind of awkward, too, because all of these people were trying to talk to me in the future and I didn't know what the hell they wanted. Apparently I was some kind of huge pop star there or something."
"Nuh-uh." Gwen said with a snort, trying not to crack up. "You tell Skylar and Ben yet? I bet they fucking LOVED it."
"Actually, I haven't, but my little half sister has been monopolizing up a lot of their time by being all clingy, so it's hard to get to them these days," Bella said with a smirk. Seeing Ben have to be fatherly a little earlier than planned? Kind of priceless.
"Hah! I wonder if that's the cute little thing I saw tailing Ben around Avarice last week? If so... it's gonna be kinda funny in another year or two when Ben has to beat guys off her with a god damned baseball bat. Because she's gonna be a totally knockout." Ok, so she was already cute as hell. But Gwen felt dirty thinking that. Also? Bella's SISTER, ok?
Bella just cracked up, especially at the thought of Ben having to fight off men just like him who were going after his teenaged daughter. Poetic justice, anyone? She may be OK with him now, but that didn't make it any less funny. "She is definitely adorable, I'll give you that."
"Well... I hate to be gross here... ok, no I don't... but Blake's gonna be here soon. So... you might wanna amscray." She grinned wickedly there. "Cuz we're gonna do things you REALLY don't wanna have on your mind for the rest of the evening."
Bella crunched up her face. "Yeah, you're right. I DON'T want that on my mind," she said to her. "I'll get out of your hair then." Yeah, she was already scarred for life with the parents she had.
