You learn something

Ten to fifteen minutes later, a wide variety of meals arrive at your door, and you select your favorites. The four of you chow down on pastas and steaks from all kinds of different planets, enjoying the different tastes that the different cultures have.

When it finally comes time to go to sleep, you and Blackfire are both in the middle, with Nuh behind you and Flashfire behind Blackfire.

"Nuh," Blackfire says. "What's wrong?"

You look over your shoulder to see Nuh's eyes are watery, and look as if they are frowning.

"It's just that," she starts to sniffle, "it isn't the same without Foxy or Onyx. When we had them with us, and when we all slept in the same bed, I'd have them on either side of me, or I'd be next to Saffire and one of them would be behind me. My back is cold and lonely now..."

Blackfire and Flashfire let out an "Awww..." and you are sad for your purple-skinned friend.

"Flashfire," you tell your sister, "sleep on this side, behind Nuh."

"Ok," Flashfire says, floating over to the other side of the bed. You all scoot over, you and Blackfire now on same matress together. Flashfire snuggles in close to Nuh, and even gives her a hug. "It's ok, Nuh, we're here!"

Nuh's eyes smile, and she holds on to you tighter, as does Blackfire.

After a few seconds, Flashfire speaks again.

"Nuh, you're a bit squishier than Blackfire."

"Flashfire!" Blackfire scolds.

"No, not like fatty squishy!" Flashfire explains. "I mean like busty squishy!"

"Wait, are you sure?" you say, sitting up.

"Saffire!" Blackfire scolds.

"What? I want to see for myself!"

You get Blackire and Nuh to sit up, even though they're both embarassed. Flashfire sits in front of all three of you. Then she takes a grebnak in each hand and squeezes.

"Flashfire!" both Blackfire and Nuh protest. You're too busy studying the squish factor to say anything.

"I can't tell the difference," you say. "I think your tops get in the way of proper squishing."

"What?!" Blackfire snaps.

You and Flashfire then pull up the two girls' tops, and their grebnaks pop out.

"Flashfire! Saffire!" Nuh protests. "Wait! I can take my shirt off myself!"

Nuh holds her little white shirt up, and displays her violet grebnaks for you three to see. Blackfire does the same, but refusing to make eye contact with anyone.

You take one of Nuh's in your right hand, and one of Blackfire's in your left, and squeeze tightly. The girls both let out a squeak.

"Stand next to each other," you instruct.

The obey, and stand close, Blackfire's golden-orange looking bright gold next to Nuh's deep violet.

You stare for a good minute before seeing it.

"Nuh IS bustier!" you exclaim. "By just a little bit, but it is enough."
