Harness Dresses and Chauvinists

“What the hell happened?” Coal demanded.

Allie shook her head, her ear ringing, and heaved herself up from the floor. “Test twenty-three.” How many more times would they fail? Her body couldn’t take much more abuse.

His silver eyes narrowed on her. “Everyone else okay?”

A chorus of yeses echoed around the lab. Eve popped her head up from behind her lab table, her light purple hair sticking up in every direction. “I’m fine.”

Allie stumbled over to Zune, who still lay on his back. She gasped when she got a good look at his face. He’d singed his eyebrows completely off. A giggle slipped out when he raised a hairless eyebrow and winced.

“That bad?” he asked as he pushed himself back to his feet.

“Your eyebrows are gone.”

He grinned at her. “Battle scars.”

Allie chuckled at the Kiterra. “Not quite battle scars, but a good story at least.”

Zune leaned closer, plucked something from her hair, and held it up. A piece of glass. Her eyes rounded, and she reached to pat her head when a hand wrapped around her wrist. She glanced up into Blade’s face. Uh oh, the dangerous Av looked like he wanted to kill something.

“There’s more glass in there. You’ll cut yourself if you try to get it out yourself.” He dropped her wrist and hollered at Eve, “She needs help with her hair.”

Eve left her herbs and gestured for Allie to follow her.

“Have her try on some outfits for the gala. I think she’s spent enough time in the lab today,” Lev called.

She twisted around and walked backwards and held up her hands. “I told you I was the family failure when it came to making moonshine.”

Lev shook his head. “The moonshine is fine, but Zune needs you out of the way. You’re distracting him.”

Her gaze moved to the large Kiterra in question, a little hurt he didn’t want her around. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I like your company.” He scratched at his markings and gave her a sheepish smile. “But you’re too interesting to ignore. I messed up this last time. We’re lucky you weren’t hurt worse.”

That took some sting out of his comments. Allie paused and bowed in a grand gesture. “I’ll leave you to your grand truth-serum-creating ways, my lord.”

Coal snorted and waved a hand toward her. “If only she was that respectful every day. I miss the days when she was scared stiff of us.”

She grinned. The last couple months had turned out to be fun. Well, most of the time. “I was never scared of you, just repulsed.” She sniggered and skipped toward the dressing area, a smile stretched across her face. Coal’s expression was priceless. But that smile melted when Eve pulled out her outfits.

Allie stabbed a finger at the scraps of clothing, if you could call them that. “I’m not wearing that.”

Eve rolled her eyes and gestured for Allie to come closer. “Stop being such a kit. Get over here, so I can get the glass out of your hair.”
