The Young and the Breastless
The Nadir Experiment
Season 4, Episode 7
Morning
At 6:30, Chik and Lena are sleeping soundly in their respective rooms. In fact, for the first time in ages, they're hoping to sleep in after their night of partying. But, instead of peaceful slumber, the two are jolted awake after techno music with bass cranked high enough to rock the house starts to play from downstairs. The two women nearly fall out of their beds, thinking a war's gone off nearby.

They both get up and go into the hallway. There, they simply look at each other and sigh.
CHIK
Toan.
SELENA
(mutters)
The two women go back to their rooms and, now that they're already awake, decide to get ready for the day. After showering and dressing, Chik heads down the hall and feeds the fish before going to prepare breakfast. Lena, however, heads past her and plops down on one of the many couches in the house. She plugs in their video game console and starts to play a snowboarding game to pass the time.
CHIK
Do you want any ham in thi-
SELENA
(over the techno music)
WHAT?!
CHIK
I said! Do you want any-
SELENA
CAN'T HEAR!
Chik walks up to her and puts her head right next to Lena's ear.
CHIK
DO YOU WANT HAM IN YOUR OMELET?!
SELENA
Oh, yes please.
Chik goes back to making food, and, as it begins to cook, the smell wafts downstairs to the disco room. Toan takes a whiff while he's playing his tunes, and leaves them, still playing, to go eat.
He sits down at the table, smiling, and Lena wanders over eventually. Chik gives them each a plate and fixes herself one, and they all start to eat breakfast. Techno music still playing. LOUDLY.
As Toan inhales his food, the other two simply stare at him, irritated by the noise and his manners.
TOAN
Whaaat?
CHIK
Couldn't you turn that music OFF?
TOAN
You don't like it?
SELENA
Not at 6:30 in the friggin' morning!
TOAN
It's about 8:30 now, though...
The two glare. He finishes eating without a care in the world. After finishing, he stands up and stretches.
TOAN
Well, I'm pretty tired, still, so I'm gonna go take a nap for a while. See ya!
He changes back into his jammies and heads upstairs, leaving the music cranked. Chik and Lena clean up, and Chik then goes down to shut it all off. Lena heads outside to look into the telescope for a bit.
Then, after cleaning up the plates, Chik heads to the piano where she begins to play a soft tune, being sure to keep quiet as to not wake the fish up. She hits the wrong key, and Lena flinches.
Selena walks over and stands behind Chik as she play, and when the hobbit hits another wrong key, Lena playfully begins to taunt her.
SELENA
You're flat! And I don't mean your chest this time.
CHIK
Leave my chest out of this, lemon.
SELENA
Fine, but start playing better or my ears are gonna start bleeding.
CHIK
Bah, stop making fun of me or I'll... I'll...
SELENA
Or you'll what?
CHIK
Or you won't live through the night, that's what.
SELENA
I quake with fear.
CHIK
Bah!
Selena hugs Chik from behind, and as Chik looks up, their eyes lock for a moment. The two are...somewhat entranced by that minor action, and after a moment, Lena laughs nervously and goes to sit down on the couch.
SELENA
Really, Lycia's more entertaining than your piano playing.
CHIK
I don't wanna know in what ways you found her entertaining, but I'm assuming the worst.
SELENA
Lemon.
CHIK
Lime.
SELENA
We taste good when we're merged together?
CHIK
(shivers)
Most disturbing pickup line ever.
SELENA
I thought so.
CHIK
Toan's really asleep, huh?
SELENA
Yeah, why?
CHIK
Just wondering. You beat all the little pixel men in the race down the snow covered hill?
SELENA
Always. Though one dude cut me off. Couldn't kill him, unfortunately. Stupid programming.
CHIK
Poor baby.
Chik sits down right next to Lena. She looks up the stairs to make sure the coast is clear, for some... reason known only to the hobbit. The two are quiet for a moment before the hobbit speaks again.
CHIK
So! You bummed we drug you away from your fight before you could kick that other woman's butt?
SELENA
I could've, too! She looked like a frail little bitch. Like you, but taller, though.
CHIK
Hey! Do not make me kick your ass. I might be small, but I'm not weak! Don't make me bite!
SELENA
Kinky.
Chik hugs Lena, at first just intending to creep her out, but in the end, doesn't let go. Rather, she sits there with her arm around the other girl.
CHIK
That's all you ever think about.
SELENA
(looks down at Chik's hand, hovering close to Lena's chest)
You too, apparently. Can fish not satisfy you enough? Have to fuck everyone in the house?
CHIK
Test driving before I buy!
SELENA
You're such a perv. ...Get off.
She hugs Lena tighter.
CHIK
You may wish to rephrase that.
SELENA
Er… you know what I mean. Go wake up fish if you want action.
CHIK
Bah, stop playing so hard to get. Come on, all those years with us trapped in that damp, dark Labyrinth? All the fighting, all the name calling? We fight like an old married couple as it is. Even I could sense all the sexual tension between us right from the start.
SELENA
You're really serious about this, aren't you?
CHIK
(resting her head on Lena's shoulder)
It was a lot better when it was just the two of us in our realm of evil. Back in the beginning. Back when we were just two insane girls ruling over the darkness side-by-side.
SELENA
(contemplates)
CHIK
You don't agree?
SELENA
Perhaps. I do miss those days when it was just you and I. The fighting, drinking and occasionally making out in LoD.
CHIK
(nods)
The way it should rightfully be.
SELENA
And Toan?
CHIK
(sighs)
I'll... work it out. But he's not my Labyrinth co-ruler, now is he? He don't know me like you do. Besides, he cheated on you. So now get your revenge.
SELENA
(laughs)
What?!
CHIK
(leans back)
Go on, use my body as you will. Just be gentle!
SELENA
There's no fun in 'gentle,' wuss.
CHIK
Oh, fine, be rough, just don't bruise my face or he'll start getting suspicious.
The two laugh and embrace one another. Eventually, Lena swings her legs over Chik's and the latter woman pulls Lena up onto her lap. They hold each other close, Eskimo kissing.
And, upstairs, Toan remains blissfully unaware that his girl is cheating on him with another woman!

Lenabot action figures available in the lobby. Shush up, I'm running out of commercial ideas. Got a product to push? Say so after the episode.
