The storm had ended, and Monique was singing out in the water. The total diva. 

At least her voice was like warm velvet, a beautiful backdrop to the breather everyone was taking. The Pokémon who'd sat the fight out had come out to share a bit of love, and it just further proved that Sea Pokémon really were a fucking adorable community.

"Danièle, you are a treasure,"  Brandy said brightly as the Magikarp poured stew from a thermos flask into the flask lid.  "Come here. I want a kiss."

"Oh, oh!" Danièle dropped the cup at Brandy's compliment, but Adrianna fluttered a wing, and the stew cascaded back into the cup. It seemed like it shouldn't work since it looked like it had a lot of meat bits in it, and they weren't watered. Maybe Adrianna's Water Move could exert some force? Very curious. 

Brandy shuffled her shoulders to get comfy on the laid-out picnic blanket and let her head sink back against Adrianna's chest. Taking up the Seadra on the offer to be her little spoon was the best decision Brandy could have made, even if she was taller than Adrianna. Her chest was wonderfully soft, and the bubbles she blew left Brandy with the refreshing feeling of coming out of a warm shower. 

The Seadra was so close to dozing off, her arm draped over Brandy's chest and her breath shallow. She just curled a finger at Danièle, summoning her to come closer.

The Magikarp adjusted her tiny little crown with an audible gulp and squatted down, but with Brandy lying on her side, she was still way too high for Brandy to kiss. 

"Um." Danièle swallowed, her eyes roving over Brandy's body and a blush burning on her cheeks. She put the flask down and got a bit lower, crawling on all fours. Which was still far too high. "Uh..."

There was a crash as she just flopped onto her chest, hiding her face with her hands as she leaned out for a kiss. It was a little pathetic, but in a way that made you want to look after the poor girl. Brandy smiled and reached out, cupping Danièle's cheek and gently guiding her the last few inches until their lips touched.

Danièle froze up, her eyes opened wide, and she squeaked as Brandy kissed her. Brandy could have gone easy, but Danièle deserved better than a peck on the cheek. Brandy's tongue slipped between her lips to find its counterpart, and the taste of the stew Nibbles had prepared exploded in Brandy's mouth. Danièle must have already tried some, and the gorgeous taste of something hearty was irresistible. Brandy's arm wrapped around Danièle's neck, holding her closer. Their bodies pressed together, and Danièle must have shifted her legs to a tail at some point because it thumped happily against the deck as Danièle melted into the kiss. Her fins quivered as the embrace overcame the Magikarp. The Magikarp melted into a puddle when Brandy finally broke the kiss, ending it with a long lick along Danièle's cheek.

"Do I get a kiss too?" Adrianna asked playfully. 

"I need a minute." Danièle wheezed, lying face down on the deck as Monique's melodious voice rang in the background. "Aaaaaaaaaaa. Hot ladies!"

It was a little mean to go this hard on Danièle, but the Magikarp deserved a memory to treasure. If Brandy had her way, she'd get a few even spicier ones before returning to the ocean. The Magikarp had been an absolute treasure, always offering to help and checking in with everyone to make sure no one was feeling left out. She might not be strong, but she was utterly selfless and beloved by everyone. Even Adrianna, as full of herself as she was about her prowess, didn't look down on Danièle for being weak. It reminded Brandy a little of Branwen. The Ghost Ace hadn't expected to win the tournament when she joined, but she'd poured her all into the fight anyway just to see her partners smile. 

They were both sweethearts, and both deserved to have their legs pressed behind their heads so they could be properly fucked into a coma. Plans for later. 

Brandy took the thermos cap full of stew and let its heat warm her fingers. It was Cioppino stew, which Brandy knew because Sparky had called it a Bouillabaisse and gotten spanked with Nibble's wooden spoon for saying it. Which certainly hadn't stopped her. 

"Smells delicious," Adrianna said, taking a deep sniff of Brandy's hair.

"Haven't you tasted enough already?" Brandy teased, "I thought it was too rich for you to handle."

"Nonsense. I could go for a few more bites," Adrianna said. Quietly with one eye on Sparky. The bug hadn't been joking when she said they were going to get shocked if they didn't stop fucking. "I've always got a hunger for fine food."

"Smooth," Brandy admitted, taking a sip of the soup. The broth was wonderfully savory, like a thick tomato soup with a touch of the saltiness of all the seafood thrown in with it. The warmth of it wasn't quite the heat Brandy's Steam Engine was aching for, but it still did her aching muscles some good. Sadly, she'd have to wait for Calcine to come out of Collie's curled-up shell before she could get a dose of fire. Sparky had gotten bored trying to wedge it open and was lying stretched out atop it, chatting animatedly with Nibbles while Chew poured more stew into flasks for everybody. Brandy couldn't hear the words, but from all the big grins, flicking of teeth, and nibbling of offered fingers, it was something about Bite Moves. 

That or a run of awful puns. You could bet either way on Sparky. 

"You're missing your lovers," Adrianna said. "They seem a colorful bunch. A shame the witch took off, up to the rigging, I'd have liked to talk with her."

"I'll introduce you later." Brandy blushed. "Sorry, I should be present with you." 

"No, I get your body for myself, but I'd never be so ridiculous I'd demand your mind too." Adrianna ran her hand over Brandy's side, just enjoying the feeling of her skin. "After all the sweaty orgasms and hoarse cries of devotion, in the morning, with a coffee in hand and an eye on the stove, the women I shared a bed with will tell me about their partners. How much they love them, all the little things that make them special. The ache they have if they're apart, or the glee of sharing the story of a night with me if they're nearby. I'm a sea tale, and if I make my lovers think warmly of the people they miss the most, then I feel I've won." 

"Not literally, though; it's still a draw." Brandy blushed. 

Adrianna slapped Brandy's butt. "Cheek."

"Incredible cheeks, you love them." Brandy wiggled her butt in the spooning hug. "You think Maple's doing the same thing?"

Both of them looked over the deck to the blanket Maple was lying on. Or at least her head; it was hard to see the rest of her as wrapped up as she was. She wore a dress of thick, colorful tentacles, an Octillery, Grappleoct, and a Tentacruel wrapped around her and giving her so many love bites that she looked like a spotty dog. Maple was utterly out of it, with a dopey smile on her face, but her gaze was a million miles away.

Nibble tentacle hair had been tough enough to deal with; Brandy wasn't really sure how she'd handle two grabby octopus ladies and a very possessive jellyfish. They were politely fighting over Maple, but it was still a fight, and with all those tentacles rolling over Maple, she was squirming and moaning so pornographically it even made Brandy blush.

"I think your girlfriend isn't thinking about anything at all. Or maybe what her next life will be since she's so close to the end of this one if they keep that up."

Brandy sucked her teeth. "Yeah, that looks too intense for me, no offense."

"You sell yourself short. I believe you could handle getting tentacle fucked by three gorgeous ladies. You'd have them all eating out of your pussy in no time at all."

"The phrase is 'Eating out of my hand,'" Brandy corrected. 

"No, I don't think it is. Not in this case." Adrianna laughed. "Danièle, tie breaker?" 

"If you need me to eat pussy I can!" Danièle said, words tumbling out in a quick burst. "Just let me catch my breath." 

"Not even close to what I was asking," Adrianna laughed pleasantly. "But what a good idea! Once this is over, you have a date between Brandy's legs."

"Awesome." the Magikarp whispered, her eyes shining bright. "Her legs are so good. I've seen really nice legs, but Brandy's legs are like those statues down on the bottom, the smooth ones with the-"

Brandy left Danièle's babble wash over her. Once Danièle got going, she just didn't stop talking, and it was actually rather soothing to listen to. The Magikarp had an infectious enthusiasm, and since the thighs in the discussion were in squeezing range for Adrianna, they were both happy to spoon and listen to the Magikarp wax poetic about them. All while Monique's beautiful song echoed over the calm waters.

Sea Pokémon were an exhausting bunch, but Brandy couldn't deny it. They really put on a good show.
