What the Hell Is Up With Kayla?
Who: Mere and Deanna
Where: Deanna's Place
When: August 2nd, Evening
Mere rode her bike over to Deanna's place, happy to be hanging with her friend tonight. Of course, Mere was a little curious, and praying that something bad hadn't happened again. She was always worried about that these days. Still, Deanna would have been a little more forceful and crying if it were a true emergency. Well, Mere hoped so, anyway. She pulled into the parking area and, after parking, walked up to Deanna's door and knocked.
Kayla was out training with her watcher. Again. Which left Deanna alone and with a perfect opportunity to go to her best friend to vent. She gave a sigh of relief when she heard that loud-ass motorcycle pulling up outside, and swung the door open immediately when she heard the knock, looking visibly relieved. "OhthankGOD you're here. C'mon in. Oh yeah... I guess you don't need an invite anymore..."
"Well, even if I was, you've already invited me before. All it takes is one time," Mere pointed out with a grin, walking inside of the house. "So, what's up, babe? Everything going OK?"
"Sort of? I mean... ok. I'm worried. About Kayla." Dee looked fairly frazzled, and almost as though she hadn't been sleeping again. "Ever since she came home from the hospital... she's been... different."
"Deanna, she DID kind of go through a traumatic experience," Mere pointed out. "Not to call out the obvious 'duh' in the room, but it can sometimes change people a little. What's she acting like?"
"She's more... aggressive. And cold. I mean..." Ok, so the blonde was starting to panic, ok? "She used to be so tender, and loving, and anymore all she wants to do is train and kill things and even when we're intimate... it either feels like she doesn't even want to be doing it, or... she ends up with this hard look in her eyes, like she might snap and break me."
"OK, I'm no shrink here," Mere started off, "but it kind of sounds like she got kind of freaked out by nearly dying from some freak who invades dreams that she's going to a whacked out extreme that no she's trying to be the perfect badass that, in case she comes across it again, she can kick the shit out of it until those damn cows finally decide to come home." Somewhere in there was an explanation as to why Kayla was acting emotionless and hard, I swear.
"But..." Oh gawwwwd. This was where everyone from Meredith down to Ben himself couldn't help but fall for Deanna. When she got that pouty, sincere childlike nature to her. "I... I want my Kayla back..."
Mere reached out and stroked Deanna's hair. "I know you do, sweetheart," she said to her. "You just gotta give it some time, OK? If she's not snapping back to normal in a little while, then maybe you should try bringing it up to her."
"I dunno HOW. She... between us? She kinda scares me, Mere. MY Kayla... that sweet thing that wouldn't want to hurt a fly... she's like... this aggressive, two-steps-from-brutal person now." Dee felt like hell admitting it, but... it was true. "You didn't scare me like this when you were a vampire."
Mere reached over and hugged her. "I promise you that things are going to be OK," she told Deanna. "I promise you that we'll figure out what in the hell was going on with Kayla and get her shit straightened out."
"Do you think one of your slayer friends could talk to her? You know..." She gave a forced smile. "Someone who's ass she CAN'T easily kick if it pisses her off?"
Mere nodded. "I'll ask one of them to talk to her for sure. Hell, I'd sic Gwen on her if her ass wasn't moving to Vegas and stuck up the vag of one of Neely's future offspring right now."
"I think it's kind of sweet..." Dee said with a little blush. She had never been close to Gwen, but it was nice to see the harsh girl so in love again.
"Oh, it's adorable, but I heard Neely bitching because she basically has to refurnish her apartment because she can smell the two of them and what they did all over it," Mere said with a laugh. "As someone who used to have them, super senses can suck hard sometimes."
Ok, now THAT made Deanna crack up. "Oh god... they sound as bad as YOU." And she meant that as a compliment. Seriously. She giggled, shaking her head.
"I never fucked Brayden in Ben's car," Mere pointed out. "Although it does sound utterly hilarious. I may have to bring that up to Bray the next time I see him," she said with a mischievous grin.
"Oh come on. Ben would find it hilarious and you know it. He's as sick as you two are." Again... she actually meant that as a compliment, sad as it was.
Mere laughed. "True, but it WOULD piss Skylar right the fuck off." And that part was true. Skylar would probably try to stake her for it or something, even though she wasn't a vampire any longer.
"Hm. Well... I barely know her, so... I'll take your word for it." Honestly... most she knew Skylar was watching her and Ben sort of eyeing her up when she was dancing at work.
"You probably should," Mere said with a nod. "Skylar's got like, that deviant rich chick thing going on that's so hot but you know at the same time would totally wreck you and...wait...what was I talking about?"
Deanna blushed a little there. "Ok, so I admit, if I was single I would completely want her." Like she didn't NOW. She just didn't like admitting it.
"You want her anyway and you know it," Mere pointed out with a wink. "Don't worry, I'll keep it to myself."
"Ok, ok... before I say something I'm gonna regret about your friend... please. Ask her to talk to Kayla. I think Kay interviewed her once, so... they kind of know each other." Deanna sighed and shook her head. "I'd rather have her mooning over Chloe again than acting the way she is now."
Mere snorted. "She mooned over Chloe? Seriously? Damn..." She shook her head. "Anyways, I'll have someone talk to her for sure. We'll get to the bottom of this, babe. Don't you worry."
"Thank you honey..." She threw her arms around the brunette, hugging her tightly. "You're really my best friend, you know that?" And yes, the mun still found them hot. Even just hugging.
"Dude, you are totally my best friend," Mere said, hugging her back. "And it's not problem at all. I'll make sure that Kayla gets her shit together and gets back to being your snuggle bunny or whatever the fuck you two call each other when you're alone."
"Fine. But I swear to you, Meredith. If we end up getting hurt again? Next time we're just gonna finally go and get hitched somewhere. I mean it." D'awww... now THAT might be the cutest thing Deanna had ever said.
"Most definitely babe. Hell, if Kayla just fucks off on you, then we'll do it, anyway. I doubt Brayden would really give a shit." He'd probably just want to watch.
