Chapter One: The Morning After Yule

As the day after Yule began, Bo woke up and began to slowly get out of bed. As she stood there looking into here mirror she couldn't help but just shake her head and throw her hands over her face. What am I doing with my life right now… she thought as she took a deep breath and laid back onto the bed not wanting to think about the millions of problems that she was going to face beginning her day.

"Bo-bo! Girl why the hell are you laying in bed? I thought being the incredible succu-badass that everyone loves had special ways of avoiding hangovers?!" Kenzi said as she entered the room and laid back on the bed beside her bestie.

"Kenz… What the hell am I doing with my life?" Bo asked as she laid there pulling Kenzi closer.

"Well right now you're laying in bed wasting a perfectly good day! Get up chica! You're young, sexy and you have super powers! Why are you acting so down? Wait.. holy shitballs did something happen when you were groundhog fearing?!" Before Bo could answer she just looked over at Kenzi which immediately lead to Kenzi slapping her arm. "Alright Bo-bo SPILL! I want the details like all of them.. well minus your vajay jay encounters with total randoms"

"Well at first I was pissed because my first time waking up in the car I walked in to my room to see Dyson, Lauren and Vex acting all weird so that kinda put me in a shit mood.. then you were no where to be found which now I obviously know why.. The whole thing seemed really just.. I don't know.. I felt out of place in my own home.." Bo said as she looked over at Kenzi. She stopped and took a breath and continued talking "then I turned around and saw Tamsin walking towards me which was a shock considering she's been MIA and she walked up as I started to talk to her, put her finger over my lips and said she was sorry and leaned in and kissed me."

Kenzi had to cover her mouth to prevent a scream of excitement.. with some fear in there as well. "What?! TAMSIN just walked up and kissed you?! WHY?!"

"Well I asked her and she just said that it didn't matter because I wouldn't remember any of it in two seconds. Then low and behold the lights go out and I wake up in the car alone again. I got up and walked inside.. passing creepers and horny ass fae to find her. She came up to me and I asked her what the hell that was and she freaked out because I actually remembered. She filled me in how she had been in some crazy ass loop and stuck at the party and that no one had remembered anything until we kissed.. Soooo… we kinda thought maybe that was a quick fix to the time loop problem and we kissed again…"

Kenzi sat there with her eyes wide and jaw dropped "WAIT! So first she comes up and just kisses you out of no where and THEN you guys have like a mutual kiss?!"

Bo hesitated but continued "yeah.. then I just kinda figured if everyone else was going to be drunk and having fun then why the hell couldn't Tamsin and I. SO each repeat we found trouble.. I arm wrestled this big ass woman and won, Tamsin chugged a keg, we were collecting money, playing every drinking game there and talking to people and then I don't know WHAT came over me but I looked over at her talking to this guy and I just felt like I lost control.."

Kenzi's face changed from excitement to concern "Bo.. did you get a succu-boner and drain the whole party? Like what the hell? You lost control? You can't just lose control when you can up and drain the sex juice from everyone! Why did you lose control? What happened? Was Tamsin pissed? Wait what about Tamsin? What.." Before she could continue Bo spoke up…

"KENZI! Calm down with the interrogation! Let me continue! Jesus losing control doesn't mean that I just up and succu-sexed the place!"

"Sorry.. my bad.. you know how I get.." Kenzi said as she laid up on her elbow eagerly awaiting for Bo to continue.

"As I was saying.. I saw her talking to a guy on the other side of the table and I lost control and just walked up, spun her around and kissed her. Like I pulled her in and kissed her. We had like a 10 minute make out as I pulled her jacket off and grabbed her…"

"BO I SAID NO SEX DETAILS" Kenzi yelled as she covered her eyes

"Kenz we didn't have sex!" Bo said in a defensive tone.

"But I thought you said.." Kenzi exclaimed with confusion

"Well I mean OBVIOUSLY it was heading in that direction but before we knew it the damn lights flickered again and I woke up in the car alone. Which I mean I was used to waking up alone but at this point I was just so confused what happened. Like I know that I wasn't drunk, I didn't even drink that loop.. but I just saw her and couldn't help it.. I swear Kenz it's like as soon as my lips touch hers it's like I don't want to feed but just kiss her… Which just confuses the hell out of me because since I've gotten back from wherever the hell I was I have kissed Lauren and Dyson.."

"Kissed them and then some…" Kenzi said as she rolled her eyes "sorry Bo-bo… that one slipped.." she continued as she saw the look in Bo's eyes. "Who do you want? Have you even talked to Tamsin about all of this?"

"No… Like where do I even begin… She and I have kissed a couple times but it's like I don't want to lead her on because I don't even know if I like her and have feelings for her or if I just like kissing her. Her chi is amazing so when I did feed off of her I was like steroid succubus ready to take on a damn army but it's like I'm worried to feed off of her and then have her thinking that it's me using her but at the same time now that she's reborn it's like she's an indestructible tank.."

"Bo… she's totally different from the Tamsin in the past, which is good I mean because she isn't a hit man or whatever anymore but even then she chose you over her own mission and her own life.. but Bo.. Don't add her to your messed up triangle with Lauren and Dyson. Me and the wolf man are bros and the doc doesn't suck as bad as I thought but with Tamsin my heart splits between protecting you and protecting her. While you were gone it's like she was all I had and seeing her as a child and beaming that mother figure or whatever really made me care about her. As much as I love you and I will always have your back and you're like my sexy slutty older sister.. I also don't want her getting caught in the cross fire of your love life.. she's still at a vulnerable state considering she just got her memory back and her powers are back and growing like a damn wild fire"

"I know Kenz and I don't want to hurt her either.. I mean hello the girl refused to turn me in to the Morrigan, she helped me find you, let me feed off of her, went with me to Brazenwood, and she pretty much but a big red target on her back by not taking me in to the Wanderer… She's already given me so much and how the hell do I repay her? That's right… I kiss her and have no idea if I even have feelings for her… Great.. I'm a soulless sex demon.."

Kenzi could see that Bo meant every word of what she had just said and she knew that with the horrible love triangle she was in that Bo honestly didn't mean to mess this up and cause all this and she had enough issues going on to have to deal with her barking shit at her that she already knew. "Alright Bo get your sexy cute ass up and lets go.. we are going to the Dal and drinking for some amazing bestie time. Come on bitch"

Bo reluctantly got up and started to get dressed and slowly walked downstairs to meet Kenzi. They headed out the door and off for a night of… well adventures.. to say the least.

Tamsin was leaning agains the wall near the pool table completely lost in her thoughts.

"Tamsin.. if you don't hurry up and shoot the ball you lose automatically" Dyson said with a laugh "you okay partner? You seem off today?"

Tamsin smirked and looked at him "oh please, don't give me that, I'm completely fine and ready to kick your ass and receive my winnings of glorious unlimited drinks!" He laughed and as she stood there she began thinking about what was really going on. I hate this shit… like I haven't even seen Bo yet and I'm already beating myself up over whatever the hell it was that happened last night. It probably meant nothing to her. We kissed. Whatever. I've kissed Dyson before and it didn't mean shit… hell I have kissed a ton of people in my.. wait.. how old am I… fuck.. I guess you lose count after all these lifetimes. ANYWAY like what the hell she probably just thought that she was going to be stuck in this damn loop with me forever and I was better than the fool with the rash and the slimy toad… No need to mess up all the progress I have made with the sunshine group by letting myself get all giddy and shit over a succubus make out. I've slept with several. It's whatever. Plus Bo has all this shit with other people than to have to sit there and deal with me along with everyone else in her love life… Tamsin finally got out of her head and shot the cue ball, hitting the eight ball into the corner pocket and clutching the win over Dyson.

"Bam mother f…" she couldn't even continue her victory rant because she saw Bo walk in and immediately look at her with that smile.

"Way to censor the gloating partner" Dyson smiled as he shoved Tamsin on the shoulder "Here's my card, go open us a tab! I'm gonna go out to my car and check my phone and call the office to see if we actually have any work that we need to do before we start drinking"

"Whatever wolf man! I'm going to the bar" she said with a smirk. She walked over to the bar and handed Trick the card and he automatically handed her the bottle of vodka. She knowingly walked and sat beside Bo, who had her hands on her face.

"Hey there succulette.. why do you look so down.. you're supposed to come to a bar and have fun, not drown your sorrows.. duhhhhh" Tamsin said as she nudged Bo.

Bo looked up with a smile and said "well you know I might just need some liquid courage if it comes to actually having fun. My life is a shit show"

"What's going on? Another day in the life of Bo and her love triangle drama happening on prime time?" Tamsin said with a smirk.

"That and the fact I have like no memories from being gone, a crazy dude after me, I'm dark now, and I live in a crack shack but yeah.. the usually storyline" she said with a half smile. Tamsin could see right through the smile.

"Come on Bo.. what's up?" Tamsin said as she tried to express concern. Bo looked at her and took a moment to collect her thoughts.

"I mean since I have been back I've kissed Dyson… and Lauren.. and you… and Dyson and Lauren keep competing over me with each other and getting jealous and trying to control ever aspect of my life now that they are freaking out about the Wanderer but it's like they can't control everything I do and watch me like a hawk, try to get in my pants, and then fight with each other and try to show everyone who has the bigger balls. It's exhausting. I don't want to sit here and be some stupid prize that needs guarding.. ya know? I just am so tired of trying so hard to make love work. If love comes my way then great but right now I can't handle them and their constant bullshit with everything else going on! I have so many thoughts in my head as it is and just… AHHH!" Bo let out a scream of frustration and then looked over at Tamsin who had her eyebrows raised and a smile on her face.

"Feel better succu-bitch? That seemed way over due if I say so myself. It sounds like you're bottling up all your anger and stress and frustrations and you're gonna explode like a damn bomb" Tamsin said with a slight chuckle "I tell you what.. tomorrow don't make any plans alright? I'm taking you to do some destressing!"

Bo took a minute and kinda hesitated knowing that she still needed to talk to Tamsin about their kiss. Before Bo could answer Tamsin said "and of course Kenzi will have to come because we all know she needs a break from Hale's wang" Bo just busted out laughing as she took a sip of her beer.

"Alright Tamsin, count me in!" She said with a smile. She put her hand on Tamsin's shoulder stopping her as she got up to go and talk to Kenzi who was arguing with Trick about the difference between his height and the hobbits in Lord of the Rings. Bo took a breath and looked at her for a second before saying "so can we have a quick talk?

Damn.. I thought I had done well enough to just show I was letting it go. Why does she ALWAYS have to talk about this shit. I hate communicating and hugs and crap Tamsin thought to herself, knowing she wouldn't tell Bo no. "Sure sweet cheeks, what's up?"

"Well considering I've already made a huge mess with Lauren and Dyson and I have no earthly idea who I want and what to do and stuff I wanted to just talk to you about Yule.. I didn't want you to get the wrong impression and think way in to it when I don't even know where my heart and head are ya know? I just don't want to seem cold and ignore it but I also don't know if it's something that should happen again.. I just need some time to myself without love and relationships plus all the jealousy and emotions that it brings.. Dyson and Lauren are handful enough and I just don't know if I could handle someone else getting in 'their battle' when I don't want anyone fighting for me.. I want to make the choice of who I want on my own terms but I just kinda need time to figure out my life right now.. I'm so sorry if this.." Bo didn't even get to finish her sentence before Tamsin spoke up as she laid her hands on Bo's shoulders.

"Woah woah woah there hot pants! Buy a girl a drink before you put a ring on it!" Tamsin said as she laughed "Bo.. we kissed, hell we have kissed several times.. when have I ever expected that kiss to lead to a relationship? We were drunk and stuck in a time loop where we had pretty much both explored all the other options there! It was fun and as much as I LOVE your little succubus lips, I'm not trying to get tied down much less get into a pissing contest with Dyson, who is my partner and Lauren, who's now the dark doctor that despises me! Bo it was fun.. but trust me, you have enough on your plate without me trying to create this big deal from a steamy public make out that NO ONE remembered!"

Bo couldn't help but giggle and pull Tamsin in for a hug "Tamsin.. I don't know what I would do without you. I couldn't have picked a better person to be in the loop with me"

"Well technically you didn't pick me.. I ate stupid Krampus human gum and got my ass stuck in there because I'm all dark and shit" Tamsin said with a chuckle.

"Oh shut up you know what I meant! I had fun with you and I'm glad you're so understanding about all of this… You're pretty amazing.. You know that?"

"Oh trust me, I know ass hat" Tamsin said has she put her hand on Bo's hair and messed it up some. Yeah amazing alright.. apparently not amazing enough considering you just told me there's not a chance in hell for me since you already have Dyson and Lauren.. but I'll let it go. I'm a damn Valkyrie. Heart of stone bitches. Tamsin thought to herself.

"One more question.." Bo said as she stopped Tamsin from getting up to go to Kenzi again. Kenzi was turning red as she broke her stare from Trick and their debate to look over at Bo and Tamsin talking.. She couldn't help but smile because she could see how Tamsin was putty in Bo's hand but wasn't going to put Bo in more of a love life train wreck.

"Shoot succubus… what's the next question ya got?" Tamsin said as she sat back down.

"When we kissed the second time and I pulled away to look around at everyone and said 'nada' you said 'speak for yourself' and then like shook your head… what was it that you meant?" Bo asked staring into the blonde's eyes.

Oh shit… of course she's gonna tell me that she doesn't want anyone else after her and then asks me THAT Tamsin quickly thought as she could feel her face turning red and palms begin to sweat. How the hell do I answer that… like I don't know what to say… Bo always bitches about people lying to her.. well.. I guess I'll just say something truthful and sugar coat it with sarcasm and hope she doesn't read too much into it…

Tamsin began to laugh and roll her eyes and started to answer "Oh Bo I just meant…" Tamsin quickly stopped talking as her gaze fell behind Bo's shoulder and to the entrance of the Dal where a woman walked in with blonde hair, blue eyes…

"Alex…?" Tamsin said as she felt the air leave her lungs…

"Huh?" Bo said confused… "Who the hell is Alex?" Bo asked as she then turned to look what the Valkyrie was staring at.

Before she could ask Tamsin another question, the blonde got up and ran over to the woman who had just walked in and jumped in to her arms hugging her. Bo had never seen Tamsin get up and rush to someone like that and hug them.. well minus her… she remembered how Tamsin ran up and practically jumped into her arms after her victory in Brazenwood and she began to feel… well.. what was she feeling she thought to herself as she couldn't help but watch as Tamsin hugged the woman and hold her and to the back of the younger blonde's head.

"Alex.. what the hell? Where have you been? Is this really you? Because if this is some shape shifter or body snatcher that's fucked up" Tamsin said as her voice cracked as she was still hugging the blonde like she hadn't seen her in decades… The younger woman Alex replied "It's me Tams.. it's me" she breathed out clenching to Tamsin.
